"By resources, you mean? Like crafting materials?" WhiteLotus asked.
"Mmm… We will need to stockpile them. If we wish to have a powerful guild and then become a sect, we need to have enough resources to help our members out. As well as being able to fund a guild or sect. Money doesn't grow on trees, so we will need to make it ourselves." Ryu explained.
"Alright, us three can work on farming materials as well as keeping an eye out on some recruits for the guild." WhiteLotus agreed readily.
"Then we should head out. I still have a few things I need to finish. Sadly one of my quests has expired." Ryu frowned when he saw his quest list had one marked as expired. It was his drogger kill quest.
"Alright, then we will also head out. It's good you are doing okay for the time being. Maybe one day we can all meet up in real life." WhiteLotus said with a smile as she got up. Rose and Violet also got up as well.
"Bye, male god! Chi! Have fun!" Rose waved goodbye cheerfully before exiting the room.
"Ryu, Chi, until next time." Violet bowed her head slightly before exiting the room as well.
"I will message you later when I talk to GreenHat. Chi, don't forget to make sure he wears that mask. Bye now!" WhiteLotus left a friendly reminder before following after her friends.
"So what now?" Chi asked.
"Let's see, it's rather early still, and we haven't eaten. Should we eat some food then log back in? From there we can go exploring a little. I want to run around for a while." Ryu suggested.
"Okay. We will do whatever you want to do." Chi did not care what she did as long as Ryu wanted to do it, she would do it.
"Then let's eat. I can't have my soon to be wife going hungry. We should also take a bath after or before we eat." Ryu put his arm around Chi's shoulder and leaned down, and kissed her head. "I will need to trouble you a bit."
"It's fine. Let's log out. The sooner we are done, the sooner we can return. I will wait three minutes before turning the power off your helmet, okay?" Chi did not want to turn the helmet off too soon, she wasn't sure if it would harm Ryu at this time.
"Okay, thanks, Chi..."
As soon as Trisha logged out, she sat up and readied herself to take off Yuki's VR gear. Once three minutes ticked by, she turned off the VR gear and gently pulled it off. She was met with Yuki's eyes staring back at her. Those eyes were slightly watery, as if Yuki was about to begin crying. Trisha leaned her head down and kissed Yuki's lips before hugging her. "You will heal. It will just take some time. No matter what, I will be by your side, okay?"
"Mm… Tri-pa, tank vu.." (Trisha, thank you..)Yukie sniffed as her held back tears slowly rolled down her cheeks. Trisha's heart melted. She gently wiped the tears away before kissing Yuki's lips again. Yuki couldn't do much, but she could now move her tongue pretty well, so she used it to reciprocate Trisha's kiss. The two's tongues intertwined for a few seconds before Trisha broke the kiss.
"There is no need for thanks between us. Yuki, the two of us are family now, so there is no need to thank me. Let me get things ready, so I can move you to the tub." Trisha went and got the bath ready before helping Yuki out of her clothes. She then gently lifted Yuki out of bed and into her wheelchair. Things strapped to her arm had to stay, but it was at least detachable so that Trisha could remove Yuki's shirt without needing to undo the sensors on her arm.
With a bit of shifting around, Trisha got Yuki out of bed and into the wheelchair. From there, she wheeled Yuki into the bathroom and carefully placed her in the bathtub. Trisha did not slack. She washed Yuki head to toe and gently massaged her thighs, calves, and arms. Only when she was done with Yuki did she wash herself. After a quick meal, the two logged back in game.
Ryu stood there silent for a while, a bit conflicted. "Ryu?" Chi called out to him.
"Chi… You know it is pretty hard. Going from in game to real life and having a body that is frozen in bed is hard..." Ryu choked slightly, he was trying to hold back his tears. Chi felt her tears well up as she hugged Ryu. "We will get through this together. Don't worry. Let's work on making ourselves the most powerful in game to keep our minds off things."
Chi's words lightened the mood, causing Ryu to smile. "You are right. Let's start off by making some progress on making money. From what you showed me earlier, we have already spent a few hundred thousand on medical fees and equipment needed. I want to make that back today and a few more million on top of that."
"Then after you, my handsome girlfriend." Chi teased as she patted Ryu's crotch making Ryu blush.
"Looks like I will need to make you change the sheets on the bed later." Ryu was in a much better mood now. He felt gloomy when he had to go back to being Yuki with the condition his body was in at this time. If it was not for Soul Fusion Online he was afraid he would be worrying day or night if Chi would leave him or not. So the girl in front of him, whether it was the Chi version or the real version, Ryu felt he was very lucky to have her.
"That's fine with me. It just gives me another reason to be a perv and touch you is all." Chi said shamelessly but immediately blushed afterwards.
"Haha! Don't say things like that if you are just going to embarrass yourself." Ryu teased.
"Ryu!" Chi's whole face went red. She stomped her feet then pinched Ryu's side.
