Pain will also be real.\" Liam let out a deep breath and began explaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had asked them both to skip the tutorial and get in as fast as they could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he had to explain many things to them, especially Shen Yue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that his sister had been reading about the game seriously for the past few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she was already aware of a few things without him explaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Open your status screen. I mean just think about the status screen and it will pop out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two immediately saw the blue screen flashing in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now do you see your strength, vitality, intellect, and so on? These are your starting stats.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This varies greatly between different players.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now this liquid in the cauldron is a strengthening potion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You both will get additional stats if you follow my instructions and do according to what I tell you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei Mei listened to him seriously, the childish excitement and bubbliness, no longer there on her face. She only hesitated a moment before quickly nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind all her playful and cheerful facade, she still wanted to do her best and become a strong player to help out her brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew how hard he was working to improve their family's condition. He had never had a good life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least now, she wanted him to be happy. Live like a normal person his age with a girlfriend and have fun. So especially in front of Shen Yue, she didn't want to let him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei Mei didn't say anything more. She removed her armor and clothes and walked over to take a step into the cauldron in her underwear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gritted her teeth, strengthening her resolve as she could feel the heat radiating from the cauldron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhh!\" The little girl couldn't help but shriek as soon as her feet touched the boiling hot liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she persisted and quickly jumped in, dunking the rest of her body into the cauldron as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She bit her lips in pain and tears streamed out of her eyes. \"Ah, brother, it hurts. It hurts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't look like she was going to last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait. Let her finish, then I will help you.\" Liam told Shen Yue to wait and went over to the cauldron with his sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held her hand as she struggled in the hot boiling liquid that was burning every inch of her skin and body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just a couple more seconds. Soon you will feel better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just a couple more seconds. Bear with it for me, please.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam's heart ached to see her suffer like this but it was for her own good, so he made her do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he was always going to be there with her to protect her, it was best if she was capable of protecting herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps not to fight with others, but at least for her own sake. She could then feel more secure and confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei Mei was only brave enough to step into the cauldron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, she did not hold back and cried out to her heart's content as the pain was really unbearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers dug into Liam's palm as she crushed him, trying to get through this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meilin's starting stats were already better than Liam's so she didn't face any dangerous health drops because of the heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the couple of seconds that Liam had mentioned passed and the pain started to subside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The liquid in the cauldron also started to change color and after that, things quickly ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same liquid that had been feeling tortuous at the start now felt like a heavenly elixir, relaxing and nourishing the tired body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, I am feeling better now. Is this over?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam nodded and Mei Mei sighed in relief. She quickly pulled up her stats to see if this was worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as soon as she did, her small smile became a big grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my gosh. Brother, you were right!\" The girl stared dumbly at all the stats that had improved by at least 10 and she couldn't contain her excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam did not spoil her happiness and tell her that his stats after transformation had been even better. He nodded and turned to look at Shen Yue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your turn?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yue had watched the whole thing from start to finish and was really stressed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew that this was definitely going to hurt a lot. Was it really necessary to suffer so much for a game?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn't want to disrespect the helping hand Liam was offering her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she didn't do this, then she would probably lag behind those two and perhaps not be able to continue to play with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that would really suck…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at Liam and bit her lips. \"Ummm… Thanks for helping me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned around and removed her clothes and then looked at Liam once again to see his expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the other party still looked indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just the same as always, not giving her any extra attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time someone was so blatantly uninterested in her, but she didn't mind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew that he wasn't trying to play any mind games with her. This was just how he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yue smiled bitterly and also walked over to the cauldron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuck. She cursed inwardly and stepped in as gracefully as she could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as soon as she touched that piping hot liquid all traces of elegance disappeared and she also started crying and shouting in pain, just like Mei Mei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam quickly helped her as well and held her hand, letting her vent out the pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Shen Yue became even more agitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did not know what was more torturous. This boiling hot liquid or this person next to her seeing her in this state!\u003C\u002Fp>",1027,"2026-06-06T14:49:04.731Z",1,"novelbin.me","9432541f089dfde07875130803425f765c17d56010e506c440f7fe68b3020089","re-evolution-online-chapter-136","re-evolution-online-chapter-134",1446,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fre-evolution-online-cover.jpg"]
