The Great Emperor's answer completely baffled Ning Shu.
When he received a reply from the president of the Gold Coin Chamber of Comrce, "Shou Jili," he thought it was a friend of Mom's at the Purification Center who had pulled so strings to obtain sacrificial power.
Or perhaps during this round of qualification distribution, there was a hotshot at the Purification Center with enough sacrificial power to help Mom pay for the dical expenses to get to Eclipse City.
But the Great Emperor's answer gave him a clear response.
Only this answer was hard for him to believe.
He decisively made a video call, eager to see the truth for himself.
Great Emperor: Can't you get enough? I'm busy. What's the matter? No ti for a video.
Chen Xiang: Mom, it's Xiao Shu.
The other party remained silent for a long ti, then sent an emoji: (Explorer Confused.jpg)
Chen Xiang: Mom, answer the video.
Just as he was about to make another video call, the other party sent a video call request first.
Upon connecting the video call, a light screen appeared before Ning Shu.
On the screen was a silver-haired woman with a high ponytail, holding an Ice Crystal Longbow, wearing a blue Battle Armor with frost-like patterns on her shoulder guards and an Arrow Tube hanging from her waist, from which white mist emanated.
She was monster hunting at that mont.
Raising her hand, white mist rose from the Arrow Tube, converged at the Bowstring, and ford an Ice Crystal Arrow.
She nocks the bow and shoots the arrow.
The arrow splits into three streams of light in mid-air, piercing through the monster's single eye with precision in the distance.
The white mist at the arrow's tail had yet to disperse as she spun and leapt.
A Nightmare Beast attempted a sneak attack from behind, but without turning, she reversed her grip on the longbow, its tip slashing across the monster's throat like a blade, instantly freezing its black blood into ice crystals.
Upon landing, the Arrow Tube humd again, the newly ford arrow autonomously strung and pierced the last Nightmare Beast trying to escape a hundred ters away, pinning it to the ground, exploding into a sky full of ice crystals.
Ending the battle, she shook off the frost from the Bowstring.
In the Guiding Water Ball's perspective, every monster within a hundred ters radius had a cold arrow feather in its forehead.
At this mont, the woman in the image clenched her fist sharply, and instantly all the arrows humd was cracking into icy cold vapor, automatically converging back into the Arrow Tube.
The woman also glanced towards the Guiding Water Ball, which was the lens of the call.
Seeing the woman's face clearly, Ning Shu's breath caught.
Those slightly slanted phoenix eyes, the light brown mole under the corner of the right eye, and the unconscious habit of biting her lower lip whenever she was angry.
The heroic spirit between her brows overlapped with mories, only in the ga shed the years' sedint and aging.
All the information unmistakably reminded him that this Valkyrie surrounded by an icy aura was indeed his impression of Mom, always wearing a floral apron and busy in the kitchen.
"Xiao Shu, it's really you!" Mom put on an expression of disbelief.
"Mom, so you are the Great Emperor!"
Mom waved away the Ice Crystal Longbow, scratching her head as the sternness and vigor in her eyes vanished, she chuckled:
"Son, how did you also get a ga qualification?"
"Nonsense, it's normal I got the qualification, but you, weren't you in the middle of ergency treatnt, how did you get the ga qualification?" Ning Shu couldn't help but retort, feeling utterly speechless, and then asked again:
"Tell , what exactly happened, how did you appear in the ga?"
Facing the inquiry, Ning Qing spread her hands:
"Back then I was handling a batch of newly delivered liquid in purification zone number three, and my protective suit malfunctioned, being rushed to the hospital for ergency rescue…"
Ning Shu interrupted at this mont:
"I've already been to your workplace, Uncle An secretly told the situation, just give the highlights."
Upon hearing this, Ning Qing nodded in realization:
"Listening to you saying this, I roughly understand what happened exactly. Surely you learned I was critically ill, and discovered the dical center couldn't save , then ran ho crying and vowed silently in your heart, 'I must save my mother.'
"And Monster World was your only chance, so you nad yourself Chen Xiang, aning Chen Xiang Saves Mother, hunting monsters in the ga these days to accumulate sacrificial power, and finally gathered enough money today, contacted a mber of the Gold Coin Chamber of Comrce, preparing to pay the sacrificial power to send to Eclipse City."
"After submitting my data, the Upper Realm Beings responded with, 'This patient is currently being treated,' and so you wondered who the kind soul was that rescued your beautiful and blooming mother and queried, getting my ga ID and sending the inquiry."
Upon hearing Mom's logical and clear analysis of the events' progression, Ning Shu felt admiration deep in his heart.
Can't deny, it's Mom!
"Stop analyzing, Mom you're all correct, what I want to know now is your situation."
"The situation is quite complex, listen to my detailed account…"
Mom rested her chin, adopting a serious reminiscing pose.
During Mom's recounting, Ning Shu gradually understood the origins of events.
Like the doctors said, Mom's situation was very bad at that ti, her body was eroded by pollutants and conventional ans were hard to suppress.
During this phase, Mom was sent to a Life Sustaining Pod, using dialysis to maintain bodily functions.
But the process was extrely painful.
Doctors proposed two synchronized life-sustaining thods.
First, they injected anesthetics into her body, making her fall asleep, and then sent her to the Life Sustaining Pod.
Conventional anesthesia could only last 24 hours, excessive anesthesia might result in an inability to wake up.
If not anesthetized, waking suddenly during prolonged imrsion could interfere with the treatnt process, hence the Life Sustaining Pod was equipped with neural interfacing similar to a Ga Pod.
