Chapter Five: Incurable Disease



Beep beep beep...

The line on the heart monitor, which had been flat, began to fluctuate strangely the moment Meng Shen finished paying.

"There's a response! The patient has a heartbeat again!" The nurse exclaimed excitedly, pointing to the recovery curve on the screen.

A cheer erupted from inside the ward.

at the same time.

[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission! The bespoke suit order has been successfully placed, and 1.5 million has been credited to your account. Reward: 100 hours of health points.]

[Congratulations, host, you have received the newbie gift pack, which includes an extra 10 hours of health.]

The remaining health in the upper right corner has been restored to [110:00:00].

Yu Wan was forced to live by anger.

The newbie gift pack only gives you 10 hours of health?

How could you be stingy!

[By the way, pain immunity is a perk for beginners. The host will not normally experience attacks, but only in the last five minutes of the life countdown will the host's organs completely fail, causing immediate fainting. Therefore, please try to complete each task ahead of time and don't treat it like a game.]

Yu Wan was shocked. "Wait, we can discuss this some more."

[Countdown begins, ten, nine, eight... one.]

The countdown reached "one," and the soreness and pain in my lower body returned.

That dog is worse than Tang Yue!

Murder is illegal, murder is illegal!!! She's only twenty years old, in the prime of her life... Yu Wan silently repeated this to herself, trying to suppress the violence in her heart.

After a while, she tried to open her eyes, and what came into view was Yu Jianguo's old and haggard face.

"Daughter, you're awake." His voice was hoarse with surprise, and his eyes reddened again as he spoke, trying to force back the tears that welled up in his eyes.

Yu Wan's nose was stinging with tears, but she said with disdain, "Old man, I'm not dead yet, don't start crying."

Yu Jianguo: "..."

I can't catch my breath, and I can't swallow it down.

Why is my daughter so infuriating?

The saying that children are debts owed from a past life is certainly true.

"Old man, I might not die."

"What?" Yu Jianguo's eyes widened in disbelief.

Just as Yu Wan was about to speak, a jolt of electricity suddenly surged into her mind once again.

Yu Wan clenched her fist: "Idiot system, why are you shocking me?"

The cold, metallic voice of the Peacecraft came through: [This is a warning. Host, you must always remember not to reveal the system to anyone, nor let anyone know that spending money on Tang Yue can increase your life points.]

Yu Wan: "..."

It's too hard, living is too hard.

You're the thing Tang Yue came up with, aren't you?

[Yellow card warning: The host continues to launch systemic attacks; I will take coercive measures.]

I despise it.

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through my brain.

"Hmm..." Yu Wan couldn't help but groan, "What did you do, you idiot system?"

"I'm leaking electricity," the Peace ship declared confidently.

"..."

"Intellectual Disability System".

[Yellow card warning x2.]

"After three yellow cards, you'll get another one?"

[Electrocute you until you die.]

Yu Wan: "..."

She's a weak, pitiful, and helpless little cutie.

While Yu Wan was rambling on with the system, Yu Jianguo had already composed himself and asked in confusion, "Daughter, what did you mean by what you just said?"

Yu Wan said seriously, "Old man, you must remember what I'm about to say."

The Mir is on high alert.

Yu Jianguo nodded with a serious expression.

"I met a hermit a few days ago. He told me that I was destined to suffer many misfortunes, and only Tang Yue could help me overcome them," Yu Wan said, making up a story with a straight face.

[...]

Yu Jianguo: "..."

“Daughter, we must believe in science and not engage in feudal superstition.” He was worried, wondering if he should take his daughter to see a neurosurgeon again.

"Otherwise, why did my condition improve after I called Tang Yue just now?"

Yu Jianguo looked completely bewildered. "Is that really true?"

Yu Wan nodded firmly and coaxed, "That's right, but we can't let him off too easily. So I came up with a good idea. He's bankrupt, so let's use money to humiliate him severely."

Yu Jianguo was dumbfounded again; the more he listened to his daughter, the less he understood.

"Think about it, Tang Yue used to be such a high-minded and hypocritical person. One day, he was trampled underfoot and did whatever he wanted for money. Isn't that the best way to trample him?"

“That’s right.” Yu Jianguo clapped his hands, but his intelligence was still barely intact, and he asked doubtfully, “Will he give in?”

Yu Wan said matter-of-factly, "The process of making him submit is what makes being a villain... so satisfying."

"That's a great idea! My daughter is amazing!" Yu Jianguo gave her a thumbs up in admiration.

[...] The Peace ship silently observed all of this, thinking that the father and daughter really had the potential to be villains.

-

They were observed in the hospital for another full day.

Yu Wan's recovery speed is almost a medical miracle. Her vital signs are gradually returning to normal, leaving even Director Qin completely bewildered.

Therefore, at Yu Wan's strong suggestion, Yu Jianguo readily and discreetly completed the discharge procedures. The day's tumultuous experience had left him distrustful of doctors' explanations, but he remained skeptical of Yu Wan's claims.

Although the Yu family were nouveau riche, they had no tradition of believing in metaphysics. He preferred that his daughter had some rare, incurable disease that even modern science couldn't detect. Rather than letting her suffer in the hospital, it was better to fulfill her last wish.

Yu Jianguo had a smiling face, but his heart was heavy. He kept glancing at Yu Wan, worried that she might stop breathing at any moment.
