Insufficient balance

  Greed's Giant Clam HP: 0/80,000.

  He struck the final blow, and Ling Chen's spirit finally completely collapsed. He had almost lost all feeling in his body, and could only let himself fall forward like a ball of cotton. In his blurry vision, he saw a flash of purple... He started laughing, then heavily fell to the ground. Although he couldn't see how much damage the attack did, seeing that flash of purple was enough.

  It succeeded...

  In this final moment, under the support of his last strand of faith, he triggered that one-in-a-thousand chance of hope... No, it can only be called a miracle.

  The greedy giant clam's blood vessels had completely turned black, maintaining the posture of an impending "earth-shattering" explosion, frozen in place. A pair of dark green eyes slowly dimmed, and the massive shell mouth was wide open... Then, in a final desperate cry, it slowly fell backwards, its four claws pointing towards the sky, crashing to the ground with a loud "boom", sending dust flying everywhere... It could no longer move. The giant's eyes also completely lost their color at that moment.

  Greedy giant clam... death.

  "Ding... You successfully killed the 10th-level Xianling BOSS 'Greed Giant Clam', reputation +1000, skill potential points +1000."

  "Ding... You are the first player in the 'Divine Moon' world to defeat the Xianling BOSS, reward: Reputation +1000, Gold Coins +1000, Skill Potential Points +1000, obtained unique item 'Lingxi Badge'."

  Remaining skill potential points: 2300

  "Ding... Congratulations, your level has been upgraded. You are now level 6. Life +10, Magic +10, and you have obtained 5 free attribute points."

  "Ding... Congratulations, your level has been upgraded, now at level 7..."

  "Ding... Congratulations, your level has been upgraded, you are now at level 8..."

  "Ding... Congratulations, your level has been upgraded to 9. Life +10, Magic +10, and you have obtained 5 free attribute points."

  "Ding... Under desperate circumstances, you sacrificed your spirit and soul, persistently defeating an enemy that was impossible to defeat, ultimately creating a miracle. With a 5-level status, you single-handedly defeated the 10-level Celestial Spirit BOSS, becoming the first to fulfill the 'Miracle' condition in the 'Divine Moon' world, obtaining the unique Desperate Skill [Soul Sacrifice]."

  "Ding... You have successfully killed 'Greedgut', the gate to the sixth area of the Forgotten Caverns has been opened."

  The prompt sound echoed for a long time, the experience value given by the Xianling BOSS was quite substantial. His level rose four levels in a row in the continuous light, finally stopping at 9th level with 50% experience... Without a doubt, he reached the highest level in the entire Huaxia in an instant, from an unremarkable level to the unprecedented 9th level, which is now impossible for ordinary players to reach.

  Nine hours of hard work, even if the spirit is exhausted, there is no slack in the persistence... This is indeed a miracle, a miracle that only he can create. These rewards are also the return of his efforts and willpower, which he deserves.

  His extreme power, the Heart Blade, the special potion from the item shop, the Hell Spider's web that was blown out during the battle with Greed, the "Flame of Anger" that was activated during the fight, and finally, that one miraculous sword... If any of these elements were missing, the final miracle would not have been triggered. Without that blessed blue sapphire necklace, he wouldn't even be here. A true miracle is always a combination of luck, hard work, and persistence.

  The death of the Xianling BOSS was undoubtedly accompanied by a magnificent explosion. Ling Chen vaguely saw the greedy giant mussel fall, and his body dropped a large piece of various colored things. His spirit completely relaxed, he fell into an irresistible fatigue, he could no longer look at what these spoils were, let alone pick them up, his eyes closed, and he fell directly asleep. Before his consciousness dissipated, the continuous prompt sound still lingered in his ears.

  "Ding... Your mental strength has dropped to a critically dangerous state. To protect your personal safety, you will be forcibly logged off."

  The sound fell, and Ling Chen was also forced to exit the white light. He left the fifth area, which had finally calmed down. The giant beast that had been sleeping here was now lying on its back with four legs in the air, without any signs of life. The ground around it was littered with items releasing various brilliant lights... Ordinary monsters, including the Lord BOSS, would explode and drop items when they died. If no one picked them up for a long time, they would automatically disappear. However, the items dropped by Xianling and above-level BOSSes would never disappear even if no one picked them up, including their corpses. That's why Ling Chen was able to sleep so peacefully earlier. He believed that this area wouldn't have any other living creatures appearing for a while, at least in the short term, and therefore no one would take away his spoils of war.

  This sleep, Ling Chen slept very soundly. This degree of mental exhaustion is even more terrifying than ten days and nights without sleep. Ordinary people who are mentally exhausted to this extent would probably lose half their lives. Without sleeping for ten days or half a month, it's impossible to recover...

  However, before noon, Ling Chen suddenly woke up. He sat up abruptly from the bed, his head throbbing with pain, and his eyelids were so heavy that they could hardly be opened. He struggled to clear his vision and looked at the wall clock...

  6 o'clock sharp this afternoon!

  "Brother, you're awake... Why don't you drink something first and then go back to sleep?"

  The soft voice brought his drowsy consciousness to clarity in the warmth, and he saw Ling Shui's eyes. After a brief pause, he hastily supported her slender shoulders and anxiously said: "Ruo Ruo, are you hungry? Didn't you eat breakfast or lunch?"

  He knocked his head... He woke up so quickly because he was worried about Ling Shui Ruo in his subconscious. Ling Shui Ruo couldn't even walk without him and couldn't take care of himself alone. But when he woke up, it was already afternoon. This also means that no one took care of Shui Ruo for the whole day. He felt guilty and wanted to knock his head against the wall.

  Ling Shui smiled slightly and shook her head: "I won't, I've always been able to take care of myself. Don't believe me? Brother, look... I had a big slice of bread for breakfast, and a cup of hot milk, this is evidence... At noon, I drank a large bottle of juice and ate all the fruit that brother washed, see, the evidence is here. Dinner is also ready, and I've prepared brother's share too... Brother, look. Hehe, but washing cups and plates still needs brother to do it."

  The bedside table was cluttered with bread wrappers, a glass of milk with a sticky rim, an empty juice bottle, and a small plate of fruit peels and pits... There were also two cups of steaming hot milk. Ling Chen couldn't help but smile, his nose slightly sour, his eyes welling up with something that seemed to be about to overflow... He seemed to see the frail girl in front of him struggling to get dressed, propelling her wheelchair to find breakfast and lunch... Then deliberately leaving the traces of eating breakfast and lunch in front of him... All just so he wouldn't worry about her, or blame himself.

  "It's been a whole day and you haven't eaten anything, brother... Brother, hurry up and drink this cup of milk, or else I won't let you continue sleeping." Ling Shui Ruo held the cup of milk in both hands and placed it in front of him. Ling Chen hastily grasped her hands... He understood what the weight of this small cup meant to this girl.

  "I today..."

  "Wait until brother has rested and then talk to me, now drink the milk obediently. I haven't...made hot milk for brother in a long time." Ling Shui Ruo Ying moved her gaze, speaking softly.

  Ling Chen didn't continue speaking, gave a gentle smile, tilted his head and gulped down the milk... Exhausted from a night without sleep, and another day without eating, he was indeed famished.

  Ling Shui gazed at him with a gentle and soft look in her eyes, then suddenly furrowed her brow and burst out laughing, beaming with joy: "Brother, do you know? At noon, I didn't rely on my wheelchair. I walked from one end of the living room to the other, and then back again. I only fell once... and I didn't hold onto anything!"

  Ling Chen: *silence*

  In the past, Ling Shui could walk at most seven or eight steps with his support, and without anyone's support, she could hardly even stand up. Shui had never deceived her... She really walked a round trip in the living room by herself!!!

  Is the 23113 drug effective?!

  Ling Chen's heart was racing wildly, the intense joy surging in his chest was ten or a hundred times stronger than when he killed the greedy giant clam. He put down the empty cup, suppressing the excitement in his heart and on his face, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Shui Ruo, tomorrow, we...we'll go to the hospital again!"

  "Hmm!!"

  In the past, hospitals were always the place where she was most afraid of, every time she got there, her pale face would be covered with a layer of paleness. But this time, she agreed so decisively and excitedly. Because she could feel the changes in her body... and also saw more clearly the future between her and her brother.

  "If you rest for a while, I'll get dinner ready right away!" Ling Chen picked up the water and put it back on the bed, jumping down from the bed and stepping accurately onto his slippers. This wonderful news made him forget all about his fatigue.

  "But brother looks very tired, should rest more."

  "Haha, you've slept for a whole day and night, if you sleep any more you'll turn into a little pig." Ling Chen laughed as he walked out of the room and headed straight to the kitchen.

  Tonight's dinner was exceptionally delicious, Ling Chen and Shui Ruo both ate a lot, at night, Ling Chen gently wrapped his arms around Shui Ruo's soft body and fell asleep soundly, without entering the Shen Yue world again, he was indeed too tired. Even with his physique that was far different from ordinary people, he should have a good rest.

  In another place, beside the corpse of a giant toad, a large number of sparkling props lay quietly on the ground, waiting for someone to take them away.
