Chapter 223: A Brand New Life
Qi Kui froze in place.
She was completely stunned.
Her mind had received too much information at that moment.
Because she ‘saw’.
She saw the blurry scenery that stretched further and further away, hidden beneath the clouds.
She saw the white clouds.
She saw the azure sky.
She didn’t actually know any colors; she had only heard her sister talk about them.
Her sister had always said so since she was little.
The sky is blue, and the clouds are white.
This, was color.
Even though she never knew what those colors meant.
Qi Kui blinked her eyes, thinking she probably shouldn’t cry.
But at this moment, her tears flowed uncontrollably.
Since she hadn’t officially entered the game yet, these tears affected reality, falling down her cheeks.
Her sister, Qi Yang, saw her crying and immediately became worried, “What’s wrong? Qi Kui?”
She thought entering the game should be a happy occasion.
Slightly worried, she subconsciously wanted to remove Qi Kui’s glasses.
But she was afraid of hurting Qi Kui if she did.
She called out to Qi Kui cautiously.
Meanwhile, inside the game, Qi Kui already wanted to cover her mouth and cry out loud.
The System, diligently acting as an emotionless AI, said, “Hello, welcome to Yunzhou Continent. Next, you will embark on your…”
Before the prompt finished, Qi Kui took off her glasses herself, forcibly interrupting the connection.
System: “…”
Alright, it could be understood.
The moment the glasses were removed, Qi Kui, who found her vision to be complete darkness, was no longer like before, unable to distinguish day from night every day.
Constantly lost and melancholic.
Now, crying, she said to Qi Yang, “Sister, I can see. I can really see. I saw the blue sky and white clouds you talked about, I know what color they are…”
Hearing this, Qi Yang was also shocked and cried tears of joy, “You can really see? You really saw? This game isn’t fake?”
Qi Kui nodded vigorously, “I saw it, I really saw it!”
“Oh my god!!”
Qi Yang hadn’t expected that the news she saw online, which she had approached with a ‘dead horse as a living one’ attitude.
could actually bring such a great surprise to their family.
Qi Yang couldn’t help but scream.
She was so happy. After the joy, knowing she had to log in within an hour, she worried that Qi Kui, who hadn’t finished creating her character, might also be counted.
So she told Qi Kui to go in and play first, “You go in and play for a while. When you meet other players and activate your Spiritual Root, then log off.”
She had watched Han Tian’s beginner guide tutorial and knew that the game would forcibly log players off during the Spiritual Root activation phase after going online.
Qi Kui obediently nodded and went back online to play.
Meanwhile, Qi Yang’s screams had already attracted her parents’ attention.
Her Mother pushed the door open and looked at the sisters impatiently, “What are you two doing in the middle of the night?”
Qi Yang turned around, the tear streaks on her face startling her Mother, “Why are you crying?”
“My sister can see now!”
This statement hit her Mother, making her feel dizzy, “What are you talking about? How could your sister see?”
Qi Kui was born blind; it wasn’t acquired, so it couldn’t be cured.
They had tried many methods, but their family situation was also average, so they had to give up on treatment when she was very young.
For so many years, they could only take care of Qi Kui with extreme caution.
“Really!”
Qi Yang quickly explained to them why Qi Kui could see.
Upon hearing it was a game, their Mother, who was constantly working for employers and disliked or had no time to look at her mobile phone, was somewhat disbelieving.
However, Qi Yang’s demeanor didn’t seem fake, and the VR glasses Qi Kui was wearing also looked quite magical.
Their Mother didn’t understand these things, but now Qi Yang said Qi Kui was in the game and would come out later.
So, she waited with a mix of belief and doubt.
After Qi Kui re-entered the game, because her sister had explained some basic information, she knew she needed to create a character to enter the game.
But she didn’t know how.
She couldn’t see, so how could she have any aesthetic sense? She even stared at the appearance of the puppets for a long time.
At this moment, even an extremely ugly puppet was more lovable to her than money.
The System now had a few more functions and explained the distinctions between several places.
Qi Kui finally understood that she needed to choose a place to enter.
She had never played a game before, but she knew that in this game, death was irreversible.
Being timid and cherishing her newfound ability to see, Qi Kui whispered, “I… I’ll choose the Flying Sparrow Sect.”
This way, she would still be in the Longevity Sect, just as a disciple of the Flying Sparrow Sect.
The System was not surprised, but as she entered the game, it still subtly reminded her, “You can modify your face. The Cultivation Continent is quite appearance-oriented.”
But Qi Kui really didn’t know how.
She paused for a moment and said, “Can you copy my face?”
She knew that with advanced Technology nowadays, she assumed this technique wouldn’t be difficult.
The System replied, “You can, but doing so will expose your real-world information.”
Many Players chose to create their own faces or use System faces for this reason.
If you use your own face in this game, it’s too easy to be exposed. And with Han Tian constantly live broadcasting, it’s not good if someone recognizes you.
Qi Kui thought for a moment, “Then I’ll modify it myself.”
Although it was quite complex, Qi Kui tried to operate it.
Anything too detailed was impossible.
Slightly adjusting the size of her eyes and nose was still possible.
She should be quite good-looking in reality, as everyone around her had complimented her.
But they always added a sentence.
“It’s such a shame that such a beautiful child can’t see…”
It always made people feel sad.
Over time, Qi Kui began to avoid these comments.
The System copied her face, and when her own face appeared before her eyes.
Qi Kui was stunned for a long time again.
She had never seen her own face before; this was the first time.
This feeling was so novel.
She wasn’t sure if she was good-looking or very good-looking.
She just felt that her face became more and more pleasing to look at.
Then she made her eyes a little smaller and her nose a little bigger.
She couldn’t do any more than that.
She entered the game with this face, and with the ID “Kui Hua”, she entered the game.
As soon as she entered the game, Qi Kui heard a voice by her ear.
“Huh, someone’s here?”
Qi Kui looked nervously.
But she was soon stunned by the scene before her.
She saw indescribable sights.
Her vocabulary was too limited; she knew Braille and had learned adjectives.
But for some buildings, she couldn’t truly grasp their appearance from words.
Until everything before her truly presented itself.
She finally saw a real World.
A world of light.
Qi Kui looked around, blinked her eyes, and once again burst into tears.
Her voice contained extreme joy.
Unfortunately, the Player in front of her didn’t see it that way.
Su Daqiang was in despair.
“I know my skin is a bit blue, but I’ve gotten much better. Even so, you’re still crying because of me?”
