With just a bit more training, they could be decent helpers—they're much better than the average local residents.
Unfortunately, in the end, only the couple who were the superstore owners and the wheelchair man were selected.
"You damn cripple, why didn't you say you had a nosebleed?"
"I didn't know, please stop mentioning it."
The man in the wheelchair had a look of utter despair; he truly didn't realize he had developed symptoms too.
"This is a good sign, you might even regain the ability to walk. In the Abyss, the stronger you are, the easier it is to survive."
Seeing the man so pitiful, nearly bursting into tears, Tao Yu even offered a rare word of comfort, then laughed and said,
"But you're going to have to tough it out on your own, give me a break."
Since the man in the wheelchair was showing symptoms, Tao Yu thought it best to let him try, as without the world's bonus the progression wasn't so rapid. If there was a problem, they'd deal with it then.
