Undead Mage with No Skill Cooldown - Chapter 409: Refusing to Pay the Bill?

Chapter 409: Chapter 409: Refusing to Pay the Bill?

Hailing a cab by the roadside, it’s been a long time since I’ve had this experience.

What a pity.

Since being integrated into the Data World, the entire Jingzhou has descended into chaos.

Who’s still driving taxis?

The streets are a mess.

“Looks like it’s hard to get a cab, I miscalculated,” Cen Yunuo said.

“Every intersection is a mess, even if we could get a cab, it’d probably be stuck in traffic,” Lu Ran looked around and said.

After speaking.

Lu Ran suddenly noticed some restaurants by the road were still open, with customers coming and going.

He asked in confusion, “It’s so chaotic, how come restaurants are still open?”

Cen Yunuo responded, “Food is paramount for the people, people always need to eat, and there’s always someone willing to make money in this chaos. How about it, hungry? Want to grab a bite first? If you’re not in a hurry.”

In the end.

She added, “People here don’t eat for attributes, they eat for taste, and the food isn’t made by Life Professionals, but by real chefs. Before I reincarnated, I used to eat here often, the taste around these few streets was good, those with bad taste couldn’t stay open. People in Jingzhou are picky about their food.”

With Cen Yunuo’s words.

Lu Ran did become a little interested.

He nodded, “We’re not in a rush for the task, let’s eat first.”

Thus.

The two of them went into a restaurant.

It was a place offering noodles.

Lu Ran and Cen Yunuo entered the restaurant, which was a small diner. No menus were provided, only a few kinds of noodles were listed on the wall.

This kind of experience hadn’t been had for a long time.

“Two people?” A girl in the shop came over warmly.

“Yes, two people,” Lu Ran nodded.

After the two sat down, they ordered noodles first.

Then they looked at other tables and noticed most people had just finished eating.

The few diners that were there had already left.

The restaurant was left with just Lu Ran and Cen Yunuo’s table.

The girl tidied up the other tables and then sat down beside Lu Ran and Cen Yunuo, quite naturally.

Lu Ran looked at her.

She was a very pretty girl, petite, with a baby face, very cute, not much older than Lu Ran.

“This restaurant is my parents’. I was supposed to study, but the world changed. The university wasn’t integrated into this world, so I’m on vacation and can’t return to school. I don’t know when it might resume,” the girl said to the two.

Lu Ran and Cen Yunuo exchanged a glance.

Both remained silent, but they knew in their hearts.

There’s probably no chance of resuming; the so-called university is of no use in this Data World.

“You just wait, my dad cooks fast. It’s strange, just past the meal time and there’s really no one eating here. Nowadays, everyone in Jingzhou lives in fear, not daring to go out, many are hiding at home. I heard there are monsters outside the city, but I haven’t seen them, not sure if they’re scary,” the girl said to herself.

Seeing that Lu Ran and Cen Yunuo were still silent.

She asked, “Are you from Jingzhou or are you tourists? If you’re trapped in Jingzhou, I imagine it’s not easy.”

Evidently.

The girl didn’t think Cen Yunuo and Lu Ran were Professionals.

Or she hadn’t considered that direction at all.

“I’m a local, he’s not, he’s my friend,” Cen Yunuo said.

She even changed her accent.

Spoke with a clear local Jingzhou accent for more credibility.

There isn’t much difference from standard Mandarin, but there is a distinction.

The girl immediately believed it.

Nodded, saying, “That’s good. By the way, have you learned about this world recently? I’ve been busy with the restaurant and don’t know what’s going on now. I heard there are many monsters outside the city, is that true?”

“It’s true,” Cen Yunuo nodded.

“I heard that the natives of this world are Professionals who can release Magic Attacks like in games, and some can even soar through the sky, it’s mystical. I wonder if we have the chance to become Professionals,” the girl mused.

Cen Yunuo didn’t know how to respond.

Because evidently, there’s no such chance.

Those who later got integrated into this world exist in a way different from the Professionals.

They won’t awaken any professional system.

You are what you are; you can’t have abilities, can’t level up, and don’t have damage or other attributes.

They just exist as NPCs.

Just then.

Lu Ran suddenly noticed a damage number “-1” appearing over the girl’s head.

Huh?

Lu Ran doubted his eyes, puzzled as he blinked hard.

Upon another look, he found the girl’s health bar was less than half?

And her health wasn’t much.

Yet the girl seemed lively, how did she become low health?

Meanwhile, as Lu Ran was thinking.

The number -1 appeared over the girl’s head again!

She’s actually losing health!

What’s going on!

Though it was slowing dripping bit by bit.

The girl’s health wasn’t naturally recovering and was just diminishing drop by drop.

At this rate, her health might last less than half a month?

At the same time.

Cen Yunuo also noticed this phenomenon.

Suddently understood something and directly checked the girl’s attribute panel with Lu Ran.

Because the girl wasn’t a Professional, she didn’t have such a complex attribute panel, of course, even if she did, they didn’t have the authority to view it completely.

But they could check the girl’s status in the same way they viewed Monsters.

Upon looking.

The girl indeed had a status: liver cancer.

[Status: Advanced Liver Cancer]

[Explanation: The target has entered forced health loss state]

Huh?

Lu Ran was stunned.

What is this?

Debuff?

Never seen it!

But it could be understood as cancer.

Only, cancer, for the girl here, had become a debuff after datafication.

“Are you…feeling unwell?” Lu Ran hesitated to ask.

Hearing this.

The girl’s expression clearly stiffened.

She then smiled, saying, “I disguised my condition well, yet you discovered it. Please don’t tell anyone, I’m at the advanced stage of liver cancer, but my father doesn’t know yet, sigh, there’s no other way.”

This…

Lu Ran didn’t feel sorrowful or anything.

Because, this thing can be easily resolved.

Before datafication, advanced liver cancer was pretty much a death sentence.

And the girl’s condition was at a stage where even an Immortal couldn’t save her.

Though she was clearly suffering physically, she disguised her demeanor as optimistic and cheerful, which was rare.

But in the Data World, all it needs is a healer; Dispel Skills can remove the debuff!

The datafied body can immediately clear away this liver cancer.

That counts as a benefit of the Data World.
