Bab 12: Chapter 12: Lady Lenna's Illness

Looking at his status panel, Luca couldn't help but smile.

If he remembered correctly, in his previous life, he hadn't even picked up a quest at this stage. It took him a week to reach level 10.

In this life, his strength had improved at least ten times faster!

However, Luca remained vigilant.

The appearance of Hydra made him feel the urgency of the situation.

Compared to such a Transcendent-tier monster, he was less than an ant.

These Abyssal Demon Realm monsters were like the Sword of Damocles hanging over his head, leaving no room for complacency.

"I need to complete the profession change trial and become a Demonic Rune Mage as soon as possible," Luca thought to himself. Only by becoming a Demonic Rune Mage could he continue leveling up.

He could then convert the gold coins into power, allowing him to reach greater heights.

With this in mind, Luca closed his status panel and quickened his pace toward Franklin's clinic.

Before long, he arrived at the secluded alley on West Street.

Outside the clinic, Franklin was still tending to the unconscious Kaman's injuries.

Additionally, there were two other people in the clinic.

To Luca's surprise, they were familiar faces.

The cold and elegant Sophia and the silver-armored Cassman.

Inside the clinic, Sophia, in a noble gown, was slightly bent over, speaking respectfully, "Witch Doctor Franklin, my mother has been feeling unwell these past few days, but we haven't been able to determine the cause."

"So I would like to invite you to Howard Manor to examine her."

"If you are willing to come, the Howard family will offer a generous reward."

As a rare high-level Witch Doctor of purple-gold rank, Franklin's strength and social status were on par with Sophia's father, Count Ryan. Even Sophia had to show respect.

However, Franklin shook his head and flatly refused, "Miss Sophia, you should seek help elsewhere. I've made it clear that I don't treat nobles. Even though Count Ryan is decent, I won't go against my principles."

Sophia's eyes showed worry, and she seemed about to say more.

Meanwhile Franklin noticed Luca at the door.

His previously impatient face lit up with a smile, "You're back! You didn't get hurt, did you?"

Sophia and Cassman then noticed Luca at the door.

Sophia was surprised to see Luca there.

And she sensed something unusual in Franklin's attitude toward him.

As she pondered this.

Luca's next words clarified the situation for her.

"Thank you for your concern, teacher. I'm fine. Here's the Dire Wolf's heart," Luca said, handing the heart to Franklin from his storage ring.

He then turned to Sophia and Cassman, "Miss Sophia, Knight Cassman, it's surprising to see you again so soon."

"Teacher? You're Franklin's apprentice?" Cassman looked at Luca, eyes wide with shock.

He wondered if he had misheard!

Franklin was famously eccentric throughout Riverfall City.

Despite his powerful purple-gold rank and superb medical skills, countless people had offered him heaps of gold to be his disciple, yet Franklin hadn't taken a single apprentice in decades.

And now, this young man had become his student in just half a day!

No wonder Cassman was so astonished.

Sophia was equally surprised, not understanding why Franklin had suddenly changed his mind.

Luca casually said, "I was just lucky that the teacher took an interest in me."

Franklin, looking quite proud, added, "Believe me, if nothing goes wrong, this boy will be my most accomplished student ever!"

Sophia glanced at Luca in amazement.

Such a high compliment from a high-level Witch Doctor of Franklin's stature was incredibly significant.

She scrutinized Luca closely, her beautiful eyes flashing with a hint of curiosity.

This boy's strength had improved rapidly!

If Sophia remembered correctly, this young man was just an ordinary Apprentice Mage not long ago.

Now, she could clearly sense that Luca's magical power had increased more than tenfold, far exceeding the range of a Black Iron Level mage!

In just one day, to have such an improvement in strength...

No wonder Franklin had taken notice of him. He was indeed extraordinary!

Cassman, noticing the same thing, sincerely praised, "It looks like Franklin Witch Doctor has found a real gem."

"Hahaha, exactly!" Franklin beamed with pride.

Luca's perception talent was the best Franklin had ever seen.

After all, it was a level 10 innate max-level perception!

Franklin even dared to say that there were few in the entire Eternal Continent who could match Luca's talent!

"Teacher, let's focus on saving the patient first," Luca interjected with a wry smile.

With Franklin, a high-level Witch Doctor, present, Kaman's condition hadn't worsened, but it was best to treat him as soon as possible.

After all, Luca had received an extra 50 gold coins from Catherine and felt obliged to take care of her brother.

"Oh, I almost forgot about Kaman," Franklin said, smacking his forehead. Realizing there was a young life at stake, he quickly directed Luca and Cassman to help move Kaman onto the examination table.

He then began using his Witch Doctor synthesis magic, working with the Dire Wolf heart that Luca had brought back.

Sophia, though anxious to have Franklin examine her mother, knew this wasn't the time to interrupt.

After hesitating for a moment, she sighed and decided to leave to find another healer in Riverfall City.

Franklin's eccentricity was well-known. Since he had refused, even she, the daughter of a count and a noble lady of the Howard family, couldn't sway a purple-gold ranked powerhouse like him.

Perhaps only her father, Count Ryan, could persuade him.

but he had left for Southwind City in the Southern Territory on the orders of Marquis Bronte and wouldn't return to the Emerald State for a while.

Seeing Sophia and Cassman preparing to leave.

Luca thought for a moment and called out to her, "Miss Sophia, please wait a moment."

Sophia stopped and turned back, her beautiful eyes filled with curiosity. "Witch Doctor Luca, is there something you need?"

Luca smiled and said, "If you trust me, I can visit Howard Manor tomorrow to examine the Countess's illness."

He wasn't particularly interested in treating illnesses, but the generous reward Sophia mentioned intrigued him.

If he could cure the Countess, the Howard family's wealth would surely benefit him greatly.

"You?" Sophia looked at Luca, surprised.

Her mother's illness had already been examined by many healers.

Including some of Gold Grade, without success.

She couldn't understand how a young Witch Doctor like Luca could confidently make such a claim.

Luca responded calmly, "Rest assured, I wouldn't offer if I wasn't confident."

In his previous life, his secondary profession as a healer had reached the Superclass level. Even if he couldn't cure the illness, he was certain no harm would come from his attempt.

Cassman frowned and said, "Kid, don't mess around. That's the Countess we're talking about. If anything goes wrong, you won't be able to bear the responsibility."

At that moment, Franklin, who was still busy, suddenly spoke up, "If he can't bear the responsibility, I certainly can."

He then looked up and smiled at the two, "Though my student has only just become a Witch Doctor, he has some extraordinary abilities. You can rest assured. If he can't resolve the Countess's illness, I'll personally take a look."

Luca gave Franklin a grateful glance.

His teacher was really backing him up!

Hearing this, Sophia thought for a moment.

She finally nodded and said calmly, "I trust that anyone valued so highly by Franklin Witch Doctor must be exceptional. Since Mr. Luca is willing to come, we would appreciate it if you visit Howard Manor tomorrow. As long as no harm comes during the treatment, even if you can't cure my mother's illness, we will still offer a reward."

Although she didn't fully understand why Franklin trusted Luca so much, Sophia knew there had to be a reason.

Moreover, she instinctively felt that Luca wasn't someone who made empty promises.

[Ding! You have triggered the quest "Lady Lenna's Illness"!]

[Description: Sophia's mother, Lady Lenna, suffers from an unknown illness that leaves her constantly drowsy. Sophia has agreed to let you visit Howard Manor to examine her mother's condition. The reward will be based on the task's completion.]

Bab 13: Chapter 13: Exchanging for Some Cash First

Seeing the quest prompt, Luca smiled.

These types of quests, where the reward is based on completion, tend to be quite generous if done well.

Indeed, opportunities favor those willing to take the initiative.

Sophia's beautiful eyes gazed at Luca, her tone emotionless.

She said calmly, "Tomorrow, I will have Cassman come to fetch you. I hope, Witch Doctor Luca, that you won't disappoint me."

Luca chuckled, "I believe, Miss Sophia, that you will not regret your decision today."

"Let's hope so," Sophia said, giving Luca a deep look before turning and walking out of the alley.

Knight Cassman seemed like he wanted to say something but held back.

To be honest, he didn't believe Luca had such capabilities.

After all, how much could a mere seventeen or eighteen-year-old achieve?

However, seeing that Sophia had made up her mind, he could only sigh.

Sophia and Cassman then left the clinic together.

Soon after, Franklin finished treating Kaman's injuries.

Luca thanked him, "Thank you, teacher, for speaking on my behalf earlier."

If Franklin hadn't vouched for him, triggering this quest would have been much more challenging for Luca.

"It's nothing," Franklin waved it off nonchalantly. He then looked at Luca with some surprise, "I didn't expect your strength to increase so quickly. Judging by your magical aura, you should be ready for the job trial, right?"

Luca nodded, "I plan to complete the job trial soon. Thanks to your Paralyzing Mist and the equipment, I was able to increase my strength so rapidly."

He was being honest; the Black Gold Robe alone provided over a hundred points to his Spirit attribute.

This in the early game is absolutely like having a cheat code!

Franklin thought for a moment and said, "With your Perception at level 10, your magical aptitude must also be high. If you haven't decided on a mage specialization yet, I suggest you try the hidden class trial for the 'Demonic Rune Mage.'"

"This class can compensate for the close-combat weakness of our Witch Doctor class, and they complement each other well. If you succeed in the profession change, your future path will be much smoother."

Franklin had a sharp eye.

Luca had chosen the Witch Doctor class precisely because it complemented the Demonic Rune Mage well.

Luca nodded, about to say something.

When a game prompt suddenly appeared before him.

[Ding! Someone outside is calling you. Would you like to log out?]

Then Susie's clear voice reached Luca's ears.

"Luca, stop playing! Come down quickly. Auntie asked me to call you for dinner. We're having barbecue!"

Luca was startled and quickly checked the time.

It was already 6 PM!

The time flow in the Eternal Game is 1:1 with the real world.

His parents were probably home from work by now.

Luca didn't delay, bidding Franklin farewell before logging out of the game.

Franklin, seeing Luca disappear suddenly, didn't find it strange. In his understanding, this was just a unique ability of adventurers.

...

The world before Luca turned dark.

Back in his bedroom, as Luca removed his virtual helmet, Susie's pretty face appeared before him.

Seeing him awake, she pouted and complained, "You seem to be having a lot of fun in the game."

"I've been helping my mom clean the house all day and haven't even had a chance to log in yet!"

Seeing the sulky Susie, Luca remembered.

In his previous life, Susie hadn't entered the game until the next day because her mom, Chen Yan, had roped her into cleaning.

Luca stood up from the bed, his expression serious, "It's good you haven't logged in yet. Remember, don't choose the Priest class."

In his previous life, Susie chose the support Priest class and awakened a C-level talent, which caused her level-up speed to be painfully slow.

If that's the case, it's better for Susie to pick a different class. She might awaken a higher-level talent, just like he did.

"Why can't I choose Priest?" Susie looked at Luca, puzzled by his serious expression.

Then she huffed, "If you tell me not to choose it, I'll choose it!"

Luca glanced at her and walked out of the bedroom, "The priest robes are ugly. If you want to wear them, go ahead."

Susie paused, then quickly followed him out.

"Really? You're not just tricking me, are you?" Her face showed doubt, full of distrust towards Luca.

"Just check online," Luca said casually as he opened the door to the living room.

The scene outside came into view.

It was evening, the sky was getting dark.

The sun was setting, and it was summer, making the outside temperature a bit hot.

In the small yard, a green lawn had a barbecue grill and white tables and chairs set up.

Luca's father, Donald, was busy at the grill.

The hot wind carried the delicious aroma of grilled meat and spices.

Nearby, two middle-aged women were sitting and chatting, occasionally laughing.

They were Luca's mother, Sini, and Susie's mother, Louise.

Seeing this scene, Luca's eyes blurred slightly.

To them, it might have just been a day apart.

But to him, it had been ten years since he'd seen this scene.

In his previous life, within the first year of the monster invasion, Luca's family, Susie's family, and Susie herself, had all perished in the disaster.

For the next ten years, he had survived alone in a monster-infested world.

Seeing them again now felt like a dream.

Noticing the door open, Luca stood still for a moment.

Sini frowned and called out, "What are you two doing standing in the doorway? Come and eat!"

Sini was an elementary school teacher with a fiery temper. Luca and Susie had often been on the receiving end of her scoldings.

Louise also laughed, "Come on over. Your dad's working late, so we won't wait for him."

"We're coming!" Susie responded quickly.

She gave Luca a push and said, "What are you standing there for? I'm starving. Let's go."

Luca nodded quietly and walked out.

His reaction surprised Susie a bit.

She gave him a once-over, then exclaimed, "Why are your eyes red?"

Luca replied with a blank expression, "Got smoke in them."

Calming his emotions, Luca walked into the yard.

He could see pedestrians on the street and the distant skyscrapers.

Luca's home was in the suburbs of Celephais City. Though it was far from the city center, the environment was nice and peaceful.

The barbecue was almost ready.

Luca's father, Donald, handed grilled meat to Luca and Susie, smiling as he advised, "Even though your college entrance exams are over and you can play games and relax, remember to do so in moderation."

Seeing the kind expression on his father's face, many memories flooded Luca's mind.

His father had once been a soldier and now worked as a taxi driver. In his previous life, when the monsters arrived, Donald sacrificed himself to hold off the monsters, allowing Luca to survive in Celephais City.

Susie took the grilled meat and protested, "Uncle, I haven't been playing. Only Luca has!"

"You're no better. Do you think I didn't see the game helmet you hid?" Louise chided Susie, shaking her head. "You're about to go to college, but you still act like a child, hiding things."

Susie fell silent and focused on eating her skewer.

Speaking of college, Sini sighed, "When they go to college, our expenses will surely increase."

"Indeed," Louise agreed with a sigh.

Though both families had decent incomes, the cost of sending two children to college would be significant.

Even with their incomes, they would feel the financial strain.

Luca ate his grilled meat quietly, not saying much.

However, he was thinking to himself that he should find some time to exchange some of his in-game wealth for cash to help out.
