Chapter 1168: Lady with Serious Illness
What Chen Xiaobei meant by upgrading his phone was not that he was going to do anything to the phone physically but he was going to transfer the function of Red Envelope Group to his Dami 17.
Actually, since he learned that his new phone could be used on earth, he had been itching to perform the upgrade.
Right now was just the right time and place to do it.
The process was actually very simple.
Chen Xiaobei transferred the Spatial Formation into the Wrath Bolt ring, which became today's Infinite Space Ring. Not only did the ring served as a treasure chest, but it was also a hotspot for Three Realms Intranet.
Changing his phone was like connecting to a new wifi connection, and this hotspot could connect to the Three Realms Intranet. All Chen Xiaobei needed to do was to key in his account password in the chat setting and use all of the functions of the Three Realm Envelop Group as usual.
"Done!"
Chen Xiaobei had successfully connected to Three Realms Intranet using Dami 17 and signed in to the Three Realms Red Envelope Group.
The line on his old phone went offline immediately.
This meant that Chen Xiaobei was the only person who could sign in the Three Realms Red Envelope Group.
Even if other people were able to connect to the Three Realms Intranet, without the account password, they cannot chat with other people. What was the point of being connected then?
Next, Chen Xiaobei transferred the contacts in the old phone to the new one. Now his old phone could retire with pride.
"When I've earned enough Spiritual Stones, all my friends and family will be using Dami 17. They will have a heck of a time!" said Chen Xiaobei with a smile.
He then drove his Somersault Cloud to land in a no-man zone.
It was nearly dinner time.
Chen Xiaobei put on the old-man mask and the black cloak then headed for Purple Bamboo Restaurant.
Because it was dinner time, the streets were bustling. Some people were traveling on Spiritual Beasts while the others were on their flying cars.
When he was nearing Purple Bamboo Restaurant, Chen Xiaobei saw an old lady with a four or five-year-old boy.
They were trying to cross the road. But there were too many vehicles zooming past, and none of them stopped to give way to the grandmother and grandson.
Every time she stepped forward, she would have to retreat a few more steps.
Her grandson was getting irritated, jumping and begging to go home.
The old lady's frowned every time the little boy complained.
"Let me bring you over!"
Chen Xiaobei walked up to the pair.
"Er..." The granny looked doubtful.
"Follow me."
Chen Xiaobei said nothing more and stepped out into the crazy traffic.
Honk! Honk!
Screeeeech...
The cars and the Spiritual Beasts on the roads screeched to a halt. They were forced to stop for Chen Xiaobei.
"Hey, grandpa! Who crosses the road like that! If you're tired of living then feel free to tell me!"
"Hey old man! You scared me to death!"
"What the f*ck, you old frump! You scared the shit out of my Spiritual Beast! Can you afford to pay me back?"
The drivers and riders were screaming at Chen Xiaobei. He had obviously stepped on their toes.
"Come on, I'll help you get across!" Chen Xiaobei turned around to say.
Seeing the angry crowd spewing hateful words, the granny and her grandson froze.
That annoyed the drivers even more, some were even rolling up their sleeves, ready to teach Chen Xiaobei a lesson.
It was quite an awkward scene!
Chen Xiaobei was stuck in the middle of the road. He could not retreat not move forward. It was so difficult to be kind!
But a voice spoke and broke the awkward spell.
"Everybody! Stop scolding! We should respect the old and care for the young! You should all learn from this old gentleman instead! Don't be proud of immorality!"
It was a girl's voice, soft and sweet like the summer rain.
But this gentle voice had a certain persuasiveness about it. The lambasting quieted down.
The aggrieved drivers and riders shut their mouth, not daring to even breathe.
Chen Xiaobei raised his head and saw a white flying car.
All of the cars were quired to fly near the ground in 1st Street but only this car was allowed to fly higher up in the air. Obviously, the owner of the car was someone of high standing.
In the back window of the car, Chen Xiaobei spotted a beautiful face.
Her features were delicate like those of a character from a comic book. Her skin was fair and satiny like flawless porcelain! She had straight, long dark hair and a silver feather on each of her ears!
Her beauty was comparable to that of a goddess!
Other than her appearance, there was an air of regality about her and she had a certain sacred appeal about her, like a compassionate bodhisattva.
The fact that she had stopped the car just to stop the mob attacking Chen Xiaobei was enough proof that she also had the benevolent heart of the bodhisattva.
The idiom "the appearance stems from the mind" was really quite true!
But this gorgeous, kind-hearted, prestigious, prominent, and rich girl suffered one of the biggest shortcomings—her health!
With Chen Xiaobei's medical skills, he could tell, even from a distance, that this noble young woman was terribly ill, so ill that it was lethal!
Ding!
[Cultivation: Early phase of Ethereal Cultivation; Lifespan: 6 months; Health: 100; Combat power: 180,000]
Chen Xiaobei was shocked by what he discovered using his newly upgraded Netherspirit Battlescouter.
Just as he had predicted, she only had six months left to live.
But the 180,000 combat power Ethereal Cultivation was not what he had expected. This girl looked about the same age as Phantom Rain!
Her training speed was scary!
Chen Xiaobei wondered for a moment if he should help this girl. But the girl rolled up the window and left the scene.
"Guess it's not fated..."
Chen Xiaobei looked back and said, "Old lady, bring your grandson over! Everybody is waiting."
"Oh! Coming..." The grandmother held the little boy by the hand and followed Chen Xiaobei across the road.
Ding!
[Respecting the old and caring for the young. You have been awarded 2 merit points!
Ding!
[Your total merit points is now 2,860,000. You are 140,000 merit points away from the next level! (Charm: 286,000, Luck: 286,000)]
"Ooh! That rounds it up!"
Chen Xiaobei smiled as he waved goodbye to the old lady and her grandson.
But when he arrived at Violet Bamboo Restaurant, Chen Xiaobei was stunned for a moment. The white flying car just now was parked right in front of Violet Bamboo Restaurant!
