Zhao Si looked at the somewhat moved Zhao Wu and said, "The changes will cause the affected beings to transform into their true appearance, while the original data will be cleared. This is why even though those people recovered their health with the recovery potion, their level was reduced to level one."

"As for you, I suggest you don't get involved in this kind of thing. You're just a noob, playing around all day. Even if you were asked to practice, you'd be intermittent. Your situation is even worse than it is now. At least you're still one of the highest-level players."

"What? I was practicing hard at that time. It's only because the game is about to be launched that I started playing again." Zhao Wu said with a pout after hearing this.

Regarding this, Zhao Si did not disagree with her because it was indeed true.

"To be honest, we can let Erya go. Wasn't that guy able to summon some spiritual equipment before? If she goes, he will probably be fully recovered by then." Zhao Si said.

"Well, Erya's words are indeed possible, and besides her...that's right!" Zhao Wu said, suddenly remembering something, clapped his hands violently, and said excitedly.

"Brother, do you still remember Gabriel and Nyako?"

"Huh? Why mention those two guys? How could you not remember them?" Zhao Si said puzzledly.

As mentioned before, the girls Zhao Si comes into contact with the most in this game are Zhao Wu and the others. Apart from them, no one else can come into contact with Zhao Si, and Zhao Si is too lazy to get in touch with them.

Naturally, although Zhao Si doesn’t have a very deep understanding of each of them now, at least he knows their real names and some things in reality, which naturally includes Gabriel and Nyaruko.

Regarding these two guys, it was just as Zhao Si had guessed at the beginning. One came from a family that believed in the church, and the other was an avid fan of evil gods. Under the influence of their family environment, both of them liked to call themselves angels/evil gods.

Apart from this, there is nothing special about their family backgrounds.

"Well, even though you said that their situation might be different from what I know, and that they aren't angels and evil gods, what if you're wrong?"

Zhao Wu said, the corners of his mouth raised, his tone becoming eager: "Think about it, angels, evil gods, then if we want to pass this game, won't it be easy?"

"...Let's not talk about the fact that the so-called angels and evil gods are just the two guys' middle school syndrome. Even if they are really angels and evil gods, why do you think they can definitely help you pass the level?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Si suddenly looked at Zhao Wu meaningfully and asked back.

"Ah?" Zhao Wu was stunned when she heard that. Looking at Zhao Si's expression, she couldn't help but feel confused.

What does that mean, brother? Does that mean even if Gabriel and Nyako change back to their original identities, they won't be able to help them clear the level?

Are you kidding me? Evil gods, angels, I'm afraid the game world will collapse with just a wave of my hand, and I may not even be able to help them pass the level?

"Why do you say that? What's the reason?" Zhao Wu asked puzzledly.

"Reasons? Am I not the best reason? Idiot." Zhao Si shook his head.

"Uh..." Zhao Wu reacted immediately after hearing that.

Yes, Zhao Si has now recovered all his strength, so he can...

"Even though I can refine pills for those people now, the prerequisite for using those pills is that those people must be at the first level, or in other words, the second level that is about to undergo the transformation from virtual to real." Zhao Si shook his head and said, extinguishing the thoughts in Zhao Wu's mind.

"It's true that I've recovered my strength, but in those floors that haven't been transformed into reality, I'm still unable to provide you with any assistance, just like before."

"Ah? Why is this happening..." Zhao Wu's face suddenly turned bitter.

"That's what I mean in a nutshell. If you don't accept these rules, I won't be able to interfere with anything in the virtual world. If you accept them, then the situation will probably be no different from before." Zhao Si shrugged and continued to focus his attention on the alchemy furnace in front of him.

"Well, then we can only work harder ourselves, alas..." Zhao Wu said with a sigh, supporting his chin with both hands.

"Ah, speaking of which, this world has undergone so many changes. Brother, do you think Kayaba Akihiko might know something? He is the creator of this world." Zhao Wu suddenly said when he was bored.

Kayaba Akihiko, the creator of this game, has actually entered the game world in person like many other players, and has joined the strategy group as Heathcliff. He is the president of the largest guild at the moment, the "Knights of the Blood Alliance".

This guy pretends all day long that he is fighting to liberate the players, creating a righteous image for himself and winning the respect of many players in the strategy group.

However, what the players didn't expect was that the person they hated so much, Kayaba Akihiko, was actually the person they respected the most at the moment. He was hiding among the players, observing their status.

What Kayaba Akihiko didn't expect was that he thought he was disguising himself very well, but in fact Zhao Wu and Erya knew his past very well and usually ignored him.

"Kayaba Akihiko? Oh, you mean the one who started it all?"

When Zhao Si first heard the name, he didn't have any impression of it, but he soon remembered what Zhao Wu had told him.

Although he remembered it, for Zhao Si, his impression of this man was actually just slightly better than that of a passerby on the street. Apart from knowing that he planned all this, there was nothing else. The two had never even met.

"Yes, it's him." Zhao Wu nodded.

"He came to me before and said he wanted to see you, but I ignored him."

"Huh? He still knows me?" Zhao Si was puzzled.

"Come on, brother, you took on the boss at level one. Even though you didn't kill him because he was too weak, you fought him for such a long time without getting hurt. That really left a deep impression on them."

"Given the nature of human-to-human transmission, you haven't heard how outrageous your story has become now." Zhao Wu said.

"..." Zhao Si hadn't expected this to happen, and it was passed on from person to person...

But speaking of which, Zhao Wu once told him that Kayaba Akihiko had also entered the game. As the founder of this game world, could that guy really know something?

After thinking about it, Zhao Si shook his head and ruled out this possibility.

It is undeniable that Kayaba Akihiko created this game, but everything that is happening now has far exceeded the scope of a "game".

I guess Kayaba Akihiko is also confused at this moment, not knowing why his game has become like this.

"Forget it, let's ignore him for now. Compared to this..."

Zhao Si looked at Zhao Wu: "What's going on with Yuji?"

Zhao Wu came after Youji left. At that time, Zhao Si had refined another batch of pills, so she followed him to check on the condition of the people who were using the pills. Zhao Wu came later.

Zhao Si liked Youji very much after spending the past few days with him. However, he seemed to be hiding something in his heart. He wanted to tell Zhao Si several times but didn't ask.

The child thought she had hidden it well, but in fact Zhao Si had been noticing her behavior, but just never said anything.

Now, while the child is away, I can ask Zhao Wu, who is more familiar with her, to see if she knows about Youji.

"Ah, Yuuki, about that child..."

Hearing this, Zhao Wu became serious and began to introduce Youji's situation to Zhao Si.

Chapter 527 Konno Aiko

"This is the situation. What do you say, brother? Can you make a pill to cure AIDS?" After telling Zhao Si the story of You Ji, Zhao Wu asked with concern.

"Tsk, it turns out to be AIDS. For me now, this thing can only treat the symptoms, but if I want to cure the root cause..." Zhao Si frowned as he spoke.

AIDS has plagued mankind for decades and has not been solved. For patients with this disease, simple pills are unlikely to completely cure it.

"Ah? Even you, brother, can't do it?" Zhao Wu widened his eyes and said in surprise.

Are you kidding me? You can't even deal with the power of the mysterious side?

"...I didn't say no, okay? Why are you making such a fuss?" Zhao Si said unhappily.

Then, Zhao Si waved his hand, and a huge book fell to his side out of thin air with a "bang".

"Hey, what is this, a...Spiritual...Medicine...Encyclopedia...Spiritual...Medicine...Encyclopedia?" Seeing this, Zhao Wu came forward, looked at the cover of the book, and slowly read out the name of the book.

"There are three levels of elixirs: mortal, spiritual, and immortal. For something like AIDS, ordinary mortal-level elixirs are unlikely to be effective. At least, none of the mortal-level elixirs that I know of can cure the disease completely. At this time, we have to look at spiritual medicines." Zhao Si said, throwing away the fishing rod in his other hand and opening the Spiritual Medicine Encyclopedia.

"So, are there any pills recorded here that can cure AIDS?" Zhao Wu asked curiously.

"There should be. Anyway, the girl who suffered from ALS before was called Gong Yuan or something, Gong Yuan Xun? I can't remember clearly, but the elixir used on her was the magic elixir, and it was found in there." Zhao Si said.

"Hey, is there also ALS in the world of immortal cultivation?" Zhao Wu asked curiously.

"There is no ALS in the world of immortal cultivation, but there are conditions similar to ALS," Zhao Si explained.

"Lou Gestational Frost Syndrome, Petrification, Spontaneous Human Combustion, Attracting Lightning, and Self-Rooting in the Body—these conditions would be fatal for people in modern society, but in the world of immortal cultivation, they are symbols of genius."

"Uh, genius?" Zhao Wu asked doubtfully.

"Yes, genius, because in the world of immortal cultivation, these situations usually only occur in people with extremely strong spiritual roots. For people like this, as long as they are well guided and helped to embark on the path of immortal cultivation, their future achievements will definitely be high." Zhao Si said.

"Oh, so Xiaoxun is actually a genius in cultivation?" Zhao Wu suddenly realized.

"If you're talking about the girl with ALS, then she's indeed a genius, a genius with water spiritual roots, but...Xiaoxun?"

Hearing this, Zhao Si paused, as if pondering something, and then continued flipping through the Encyclopedia of Spiritual Medicines, asking, "Is this another acquaintance of yours? The same as Gabriel and the others?"

"Yes, yes. We just met not long ago. I didn't expect to see her in this game. I'm quite surprised." Zhao Wu nodded.

"That's it..."

It seems necessary to meet that child, Zhao Si thought.

His purpose in wanting to meet the girl named Gongyuan Xun was simple: it was for the mission. After all, as long as Zhao Wu knew her, it would definitely improve the completion of the main mission, and this point could be said to be something he never missed.

"What about AIDS? Is it a similar situation? Something like a gifted talent?" Zhao Wu asked again.

"No, it's just a serious illness and a series of complications caused by the virus. It has nothing to do with talent. If it can't be cured, the patient will die. It's that simple." Zhao Si said.

"Oh, well, what a pity..." Zhao Wu said with a puffed face.

"What's so regrettable? Just having talent is useless. If you live in the Dharma Ending Age or don't receive proper guidance in your cultivation, the result will be the same as that girl named Miyazono Kaoru, whose talent will backfire on you and make you live in pain."

As Zhao Si was speaking, his eyes suddenly fixed and he stopped turning the pages.

"For ordinary people, this kind of talent is actually a burden. Okay, I found it." Zhao Si said as he closed the Spiritual Medicine Ceremony.

"No, no, let me see!" Zhao Wu stepped forward and said.

"Take a look, do you understand it? If you have the time, you might as well send a message to Youji and ask her to bring her sister over so that I can adjust the spiritual medicine used in alchemy according to her sister's condition." Zhao Si put away the spiritual medicine book and said.

"Oh, okay..." Hearing this, Zhao Wu had no choice but to tell Yuji the news first.

"What? What do you mean you don't understand? Who are you looking down on, stinky old man? Humph!"

Muttering softly, Zhao Wu told Yuki what happened.

On the other side, on the 40th floor of Aincrad, the "Sleeping Knights" guild headquarters.

At this time, many figures gathered in the not-so-big room. The members of the Sleeping Knights gathered around a bed, all looking at the nearly dying girl on the bed with concern.

Apart from the members of the Sleeping Knights, few people know that the members of this guild are actually people suffering from serious illnesses in real life and may die at any time. The name "Sleeping" is taken from this meaning.

The members of Sleeping Knight had known each other long before entering this game. They first met in the medical network "Tranquil Garden" with full stealth equipment for medical treatment, and then entered Sword Art Online together.

The girl lying on the bed at this time is the president of the Sleeping Knights and also the twin sister of Konno Kiminori, Konno Aiko.

"Everyone... don't make such expressions."

Looking at the sad expressions of her companions around her, the girl on the bed smiled and comforted them, her voice very weak.

"Isn't this just a matter of time...? Everyone knows it... There's no need to be so sad..."

"orchid..."

A girl was speaking, and the tears that had accumulated in the corners of her eyes could not help but flow down. She covered her mouth, and the subsequent words were choked in her neck and she couldn't say them.

“…Siune.”

Konno Aiko looked at the sobbing woman.

"Yuuki... although she is stronger than you, she is... too young. If I leave... then the guild will be handed over to you. Yuuki, please take care of her."

"..."

Hearing this, the woman named Siune opened her mouth to say something, but she knew Konno Aiko's situation very well, and knew how pale and powerless her words of comfort would be to her.

Finally, Siune suppressed the sadness in her heart and nodded vigorously, "Hmm... I, I understand."

"Thanks..."

Hearing this, Konno Aiko forced a smile.

After a while, all the players except Shiune left, not wanting to disturb Konno Aiko's rest. Shiune sat by Konno Aiko's bed, chatting with her.

"Yuuki, that girl's been running around lately. When I asked her what she was doing, she said she'd found hope of saving her sister and would come back to tell you after confirming the situation." Siune said, observing Konno Aiko's reaction.

"Aiko, I think it would be best if you were the guild leader. What if Yuuki really does find a way to cure you?"

"what...."

Hearing this, Konno Aiko could only smile helplessly.

She knew that Siune's words didn't mean she believed Yuuki, but were merely a way of comforting her.

If possible, she didn't want to die like this, but there was no other way. It was a disease that no human being could solve. Yuki was just a child, and in this kind of game world, how could it be possible?

After all, my life is probably going to end here...

As he was lost in thought, suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps attracted the attention of the two people in the house.

As the footsteps got closer and closer, a familiar voice rang in the ears of the two. But what was different from before was that the owner of the voice seemed to be in a very happy and excited mood, which was well reflected in her voice.

"Sister! Sister!"

"Oh!"

"elder sister!"

The door was violently pushed open, and Yuuki was seen panting, his sparkling eyes fixed on Konno Aiko.
