There’s no ti like the present. As luck would have it, Jiang Qiuqiu and Mo Chengyu activated the virtual network in the living room and jumped into a PVP match in a spiritual manipulation ga.
To Mo Chengyu’s surprise, Jiang Qiuqiu—who seed so frail she might collapse from just cooking—was incredibly skilled at the ga.
While she couldn’t match high-level Spiritual Power Controllers, she was a budding genius within the C to B-rank range.
"Qiuqiu, you’re so talented," Mo Chengyu exclaid in admiration.
After winning the match, Jiang Qiuqiu touched her slightly flushed face. "Really?"
"Yes." She had rarely seen anyone play so well on their first try, especially soone who’d never had any spiritual power training. "You’re truly amazing."
"With talent like this, you won’t get tired so easily if you practice more."
’This little gaming console is incredible. It can actually train one’s spiritual power.’
Jiang Qiuqiu asked curiously how much the machine cost. "Can I use a machine like this to train at ho too?"
"Uh—"
’Well, she *could*. A machine works the sa no matter where it is. But!’
"This console is an old model from a few years ago. Even though the price has dropped a little, well—"
In the Federation, anything related to spiritual power was astronomically expensive.
The recovery helts cost millions, and those were just entry-level products. A slight upgrade would be items like recovery pods. As for consumables like the Nourishing Liquid Mo Chengyu was constantly drinking, while a single vial wasn’t as pricey, drinking seven or eight a day still cost over a million.
And then there was the full-imrsion simulator for training spiritual power. It might look like a gaming console, but in reality... it cost several billion.
Several billion for a discontinued model on clearance, at that.
Jiang Qiuqiu: ...
She couldn’t help but mutter, "Before I ca here, I thought I was pretty well-off. I never imagined I wouldn’t even co close."
"This is professional equipnt. They’re mostly found in schools. Who would buy one for their ho? Besides, you really *are* wealthy. With your cooking skills, all you have to do is show them off a little, and people will be lining up to spend money on you." ’Like ,’ Mo Chengyu thought, ’I’d gladly spend a fortune.’
"And if you’re willing, you can co over more often! Look at this huge house—it’s just here. I’m dying for soone to talk to."
Despite her bubbly personality, the loneliness that occasionally surfaced felt very real.
"I’ll co by often!"
"Deal! We still have so ti. Want to play another round?"
The two played a few more rounds, having an absolute blast, until the Left and Right Guardians appeared to drag Mo Chengyu away. Seeing the ti, Jiang Qiuqiu realized she had to get back to prepare food for her display window, so she got up to say goodbye.
Mo Chengyu watched as Jiang Qiuqiu’s small figure receded into the distance. ’So naive girls are just so adorable,’ she thought.
’The way she talks is cute, the way she dresses is cute, her eyes are cute... everything she does is so cute.’
After her mont of reflection, she imdiately ran to her second-floor bedroom and pulled out a stack of notes she had taken during her ti at Federation University’s spiritual power academy.
A person’s spiritual power doesn’t just vanish for no reason.
Every case of it disappearing is a gradual process.
Take her, for example. Because she had stayed up all night watching cha competitions, pulled all-nighters modifying chas, and poured her entire being into them, her spiritual power had been abnormally depleted, leading to a spiritual power disorder.
It was a long-term process, and recovery was difficult. It certainly wasn’t sothing that one Spirit Helt and a couple of vials of Nourishing Liquid could fix.
But Jiang Qiuqiu was completely different.
Her spiritual power was consud as naturally as pouring water from a kettle, and all she needed to recover was that little old Spirit Helt... No, according to what she said, before she even had the helt, she could recover just by sleeping.
There was only one type of person who exhibited all these traits.
A Federal Spiritual Healer.
