Chapter Fifteen: Re-entering the Abyssal Moon Space

  After leaving the tea house, Su Hong rushed to the special care ward of Xiehe Hospital. After seeing that his mother was being taken good care of, he felt much more at ease. Moreover, Professor Liu told him a piece of good news: after a series of necessary checks and consultations with several professor-level authoritative doctors, a diagnostic conclusion had been reached. If there were no unexpected events, Su Hong's mother's illness had a great chance of being completely cured.

  Due to the special nature of their work, hospital staff rarely make promises or guarantees to patients. The fact that they can say "extremely hopeful" indicates that Wang Chunjuan's illness is basically not a big problem anymore.

  "Great!" Su Hong's face lit up with joy, and he couldn't help but clench his fists tightly, feeling a huge weight lift off his mind.

  After chatting with her mother, who was in a good mental state, Su Hong prepared to leave. Since she was staying in the high-ranking cadre's special care ward, the facilities and conditions were very good, and there was also a dedicated nurse by her side, so it wasn't necessary for the whole family to stay in the hospital.

  "Xiao Hong, what's going on here? I found that there was suddenly an extra 5 million yuan in the bank card, and that Li Zong looks like a high-end elite, how did he get involved with you?" Just as Su Hong was about to leave, Su Hong's father suddenly chased after him, asking in a deep voice.

  Su Jing's expression was very serious and solemn, although some of the things that happened today seemed to be good news, but in his heart he couldn't help but worry, worrying about his own son.

  Facing his father's gaze filled with worry and care, Su Hong's heart warmed up, but many words that came to his lips were again swallowed back by him. He hadn't forgotten the previous conversation with Li Dairen. If he revealed the secret of the Shangyue space, his own father might be ruthlessly killed by the ruler, which was not what he wanted to see.

  She fell silent for a moment before speaking up, "Dad, I was raised by you and mom, you should be very clear about my character, I absolutely won't do anything illegal or harmful to others. It's just that some things must be kept secret and can't be revealed casually. If you still trust me, then please don't ask any more questions, okay?"

  Su Jing looked at his son deeply, and many past events surged up in his mind. A thousand words eventually turned into a simple reminder, spoken in a warm tone: "Alright! Dad won't ask again from now on, but you also need to take good care of yourself. Your mom and I can give up everything, but we can't lose you."

  Upon hearing this, Su Hong's eyes suddenly turned red, and she immediately controlled her emotions, laughing: "Haha, I didn't expect Dad to have such a sentimental moment. It seems that Mom said you're a boring old man, but it looks like she was wrong about you~"

  "Hey, you little stinker, even your dad dares to tease you." Su Jing smiled and pretended to hit him, and with Su Hong making such a fuss, the previously oppressive atmosphere was suddenly swept away, relaxing everyone quite a bit.

  No need to say more, sometimes the tacit understanding between father and son is so wonderful. After this simple conversation, Su Jing never asked Su Hong anything again, because he trusted his own son.

  After leaving the hospital, Su Hong didn't rush home, but instead took a taxi to a famous e-sports gathering place in the city. Under the surprised gaze of many professional players, he bought a large pile of DOTA game strategy guides until he couldn't carry them anymore, and only then reluctantly left.

  Back in his own small house, Su Hong didn't rush to open the computer, but instead took out the momentum from the high school exam cram session and carefully studied a large pile of game materials he had bought, unknowingly passing half a day until his stomach started protesting loudly, only then did he stretch and get up.

  She casually ate some instant noodles, then Su Hong started the computer and re-registered a game account on the online gaming platform. Then, as a novice, she began to fight from scratch in the virtual game.

  Theory combined with practice, plus his own keen insight, gradually explored a path that suits him, and this is where Su Hong's success as a professional player lies.

  Although every battle in the Cang Yue space was extremely bloody and realistic, not a virtual game, many game rules were also not applicable. However, in Su Hong's view, since the ancient relic battlefield was a real projection of the DOTA map, it could still be referenced in some aspects, such as the pros and cons of hero lineups, the strength and weakness of laning, and some basic techniques for last-hitting creeps and denying enemy creeps.

  As for entering the Slaughter Moon space, Su Hong had a chat with Li Dairen and gained a lot of useful information, but he didn't rush in. Although the Blood Coins and Blood Energy Strengthening Points were tempting, if he entered rashly and lost, he would be severely punished by the ruler, losing many Blood Coins and Heavenly Ladder points, which would not be worth it.

  So, for the past few days, Su Hong hadn't left his house at all. Apart from eating and sleeping, as well as calling to ask about his mother's condition, he had dived headfirst into playing DOTA, even more crazily than when he was a professional player rushing to level up, constantly honing his DOTA skills on the YY battle platform.

  With his extraordinary keen insight and super strong control reaction ability, his winning rate is extremely high, and his personal record in each game is also dazzling. He has risen to the top 100 of the Youyou Tianti rankings, and is on par with that blond-haired non-mainstream fashion youth he met earlier. Even some professional team managers have extended an invitation to him, hoping he can go to their base for a trial training, and if suitable, they will consider absorbing him into the team.

  Su Hong just smiled and didn't even bother to respond, because he was very clear that the ranking points on the Yao Yao battle platform and the ranking points in the Cang Yue space were two completely different concepts, with no practical reference value. The so-called Yao Yao ladder gods and top-notch DOTA professional players entering the Cang Yue space might not be as good as some newbies who didn't understand anything.

  However, being able to receive a trial invitation from the team manager means that Su Hong's current DOTA level is already strong enough, even if there is still some distance from those top professional players, but it's not far off. Continuing to hone skills on the YY platform no longer has much practical significance.

  He quit the YY gaming platform and started searching for videos of recent matches from top teams, especially those intense battles that were hard to distinguish between victory and defeat. He carefully studied and analyzed them in order to deepen his understanding of DOTA heroes' positioning and the pros and cons of different hero combinations.

  Apart from this, Su Hong also patiently used her skills to categorize each hero by damage type and even memorized the initial attributes and growth potential values of each hero.

  During this time, Li Dairen had made a phone call, thinking that Su Hong had already entered the Cang Yue space, eager to ask about the outcome. However, he did not expect that Su Hong had spent almost a week studying the game DOT A and had no intention of entering the Cang Yue space.

  "Come on, Su Hong, you're really patient, but you have to hurry up. You need to participate in at least three actual battles every month, or else the consequences will be severe by the end of the month during the Death Week." Li Dairen didn't elaborate, but Su Hong understood that if he didn't seize the time and earn as many Bloody Coins as possible, it wouldn't just be difficult to exchange them for Blood Energy strengthening points, but even some basic survival tools would be hard to get. And when the terrifying scene of Death Week really began, his chances of survival would be extremely slim.

  "It's time to enter the Shangyue space!" Su Hong's eyes flashed with a faint, strange light after hanging up Li Daren's phone. He calculated that today was already the 13th, and although this month had 31 days, time was not so abundant for him either.

  He deliberately went out to eat a big meal and slept well, after which Su Hong didn't delay any longer. He lowered his head and gently spoke to the blood flower on his left chest: "Blood Code 100718 requests entry into the Shangyue Space for trial."

  The next moment, a strange blood light burst out, filling the surroundings, and he himself instantly disappeared without a trace.

  Su Hong didn't take any special precautions, nor was he worried that someone would burst in and discover his secret. He had learned from Li Dairen that the flow of time within the Cang Yue space was completely different from the real world. Even if he stayed inside for a long time, when he returned to the real world, it would only be as if a moment had passed, and he would hardly feel any change in the passage of time.

  As soon as Su Hong opened his eyes again, he suddenly found himself in the endless starry sky, surrounded by a strange blood-colored light, quietly floating in mid-air. Not far from him, there were nine other blood-colored lights, which must be his allies and enemies this time.

  At the same time, the cold and ruthless voice of the host also sounded in Su Hong's ear, "Found that Shi Xue No. 100718 entered the Shang Yue space, camp Tian Hui side, accepted trial requirements, ancient ruins battlefield countdown started..."

  As the three-second countdown ended, ten blood-colored light clusters, including Su Hong, turned into streaks of blood-colored light and rapidly fell towards the ground. A square-shaped mystical land also appeared in everyone's field of vision.

  For this scene, Su Hong, who had experienced it once before, was much calmer and more stable than before, but listening to the loud and stirring sound of the war horn in his ear, he still couldn't help but clench his fists and feel his heart racing with excitement, because he knew that a brutal and bloody great battle was about to unfold.
