Chapter 5 I'm Still Alive



After paying the hospital bills, Lin's wallet was almost empty.

Although her injuries had been repaired by the system, the doctor was not aware of this when she was sent to the hospital, so she was given all kinds of examinations. When the examination results came out, it showed that the injuries were not serious, but the car accident was so serious that the doctor hesitated and, in a responsible manner, gave Lin a more detailed examination.

Anyway, after all the fuss, the result was that Lin Xi was not seriously injured, but a lot of money was spent.

But this can't be blamed on the doctor, Lin Xi sighed. Fortunately, the system said that her luck value of -99 successfully triggered the BUFF of "Nothing matters except life and death", which helped her block other bad luck. It should be smoother for her to find a job next.

After completing the discharge procedures, Lin walked towards Song Ranran who came to pick her up. As soon as she got close to him, Song Ranran took out a box from her bag and handed it to her with a smile.

"What is it?" Lin asked curiously.

"It's a discharge gift. Don't worry, it's not expensive." Song Ranran knew that Lin Xi never accepted gifts that were too expensive.

Lin took it and opened it. When she saw the colorful wigs inside, she became emo.

"With them, you don't have to worry about baldness anymore, and I have matched all the colors for you, red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, and purple. You can wear whichever one you want. They can cover baldness and create a highlighting effect. Isn't it very thoughtful?" Song Ranran was so touched by her own thoughtfulness.

"I told you not to mention those two words." Lin Xi was almost furious, but she honestly picked out a wig from the collection and put it on herself.

"How is it? Did you block it?" Lin Xi lowered her head and asked Song Ranran to help her see the effect.

"You can still see the gauze, but the baldness...that thing is no longer obvious." Song Ranran said.

"As long as you can't see anything, it's fine." She touched the gauze lightly. The nurse was too harsh. Although she knew it was a necessary procedure, we were all girls. Couldn't we shave a little more hair?

"Once you get the gauze, it won't be visible anymore." Song Ranran said affirmatively.

"Help me adjust it." The two girls spent half a day adjusting the wig at the entrance of the hospital. Only after Lin Yan was sure that she looked "normal" did they leave the hospital.

"Let's go eat hotpot tonight to celebrate your discharge from the hospital." Song Ranran drove Lin Yan back to school. The car was a gift from Song Ranran's parents for her admission to school, and she had it since her freshman year.

"I want to work part-time in the evening, but the manager said he is too busy." Lin refused.

"You just got out of the hospital and you're going to work again?"

"There's no other way. The rent I saved for graduation was just spent in the hospital. I will graduate in a month, and I have to earn enough for the first month's rent, otherwise I will have to live on the streets." Why do people work? Because they are poor.

"Okay, then we'll celebrate together when you find a job." Song Ranran wanted to say that you can live at my house first, but she knew her friend's temper very well, so she didn't say anything in the end. Anyway, Lin Yan was stubborn, but she wouldn't die. If she really couldn't bear it, she would still ask her for help. She just had to wait.

"Okay." Lin Xi.

Song Ranran sent Lin Nan to school and left. Lin Nan returned to the dormitory alone. The dormitory was still quiet and looked no different from usual.

Just as Lin Xi took out the key and was about to open the door, there was a "click" sound behind her. Lin Xi turned around and saw that it was Li Menglin who had just come out of the bathroom.

Li Menglin saw Lin Yan and stopped in her tracks. She put her hand on her eyes and said in the calmest tone possible: "Are you still alive?"

Lin's scalp tightened and her forehead throbbed with pain. She was sure that she had never offended this student Li. "I'm really sorry to disappoint you. He's still alive, just a slight concussion."

"Oh, I hope it's not a ghost. It just scared me." The alarm was lifted, and Li Menglin picked up her feet again and walked towards the dormitory.

“……”Who is scaring whom? !

Lin Xi was so angry that she almost wished she was a ghost so she could scare the girl to death.

"Why do you think I'm a ghost?" Do I look that terrible?

"I saw the video of you being knocked away in the class group. The place where you landed was about 20 meters away from where you were knocked away. The whole process formed a perfect parabola. From the perspective of mechanics, if you were knocked away that far, your brain should have come out. So most of my classmates and I think the probability of your death is 99%." Li Menglin just walked to within one step of Lin Xi at this time. She seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Oh," "Congratulations, you have become the 1%."

"Thank you so much." Lin Xi really couldn't continue the conversation, so she turned the key to open the door.

"That..." Li Menglin called out to Lin Xi.

Lin turned around.

"Can you share with me how you felt when you were knocked away?" Li Menglin added politely, "Sorry for the trouble."

"I have a headache!" Lin Xi slammed the dormitory door mercilessly.

"It seems that the head really hurts." Li Menglin muttered to herself, but didn't care and went straight back to her dormitory.

Lin was furious. She returned to the dormitory, took out her phone, and opened the class group chat. She wanted to see how the class group chat was talking about her. After flipping through the chat records for a while, Lin finally understood why her roommates didn't send her any WeChat messages after she was sent to the hospital after the car accident.

Because the class group is raising money for his funeral!!!

Didn't the school teacher go to the hospital? Didn't anyone ask? Lin kept flipping through the records and found the video of her car accident. After watching it, she fell silent.

Because, in the video, it looked like she had little chance of survival.

"System, thank you." Lin Xi couldn't help but thank him again.

"Although I don't know why the host is thanking you, but... you're welcome." The system replied.

Lin smiled and unblocked the class group. She had been having trouble finding a job before, so in order to keep her mentality and not be provoked by classmates in the class group who had already joined the job, she blocked the class group, so that she only knew what happened in the class group now. I don't know how much money has been raised for her funeral?

Lin Yan was thinking boredly, when a message popped up in the group, and the person who sent the message was their class monitor.

Monitor: [Xu Ruan, you and Lin Nan live in the same dormitory. Come with me to the hospital this afternoon to deliver the money. We have raised 18,235 yuan so far. I will donate some more to make it 20,000 yuan.]

The moment she saw this message, Lin Xi suddenly had the urge to commit suicide. Twenty thousand yuan? How long would she have to work part-time?

Xu Ruan: [Okay, I will ask for leave from my supervisor later.]

Xu Ruan is Lin's roommate. Two months ago, she started an internship at a good company. In order to get a permanent job, Xu Ruan is the last one to leave work every day. Sometimes she comes back later than she does after the night shift. She never dares to ask for leave. When Lin saw that she was going to ask for leave, she was afraid that it would affect her work, so she didn't dare to dive anymore and quickly went online.

Lin: [Thank you for your kindness, no thanks, I'm fine.]

The group was silent for a moment.

Monitor: [Myself?]

Lin Xi twitched her lips. They really thought she was dead. Just as she was about to answer, someone answered faster than her.

Li Menglin: [It’s me. I just saw her in the dormitory corridor. She was breathing and had a shadow. She was definitely alive. PS: She also had her hair highlighted in blue.]

Lin: [……]

Xu Ruan: [Lin Nan treasures her hair the most and never dyes it. Are you seeing things?]

Li Menglin: [Research shows that after a person survives a catastrophe, their personality will change. Dyeing their hair is nothing.]

Xu Ruan: [That’s right.]

Lin Mei: [Hey! I'm right here. ]

Lin explained: [I watched the video, it was quite tragic, but I was lucky, it was just a mild concussion, I have been discharged from the hospital today, and I am now in the dormitory. So everyone does not need to donate to me, the monitor will return it the same way, thank you everyone.]

Lin sent three consecutive bowing expressions of thanks. Although the classmates donated funeral expenses, the intention was good.

Monitor: [I’m glad everyone is alright. I’ll return the money to everyone later.] @Everyone.

Xu Ruan: [Then I won’t ask for leave, let’s talk in the dormitory at night.]

Student A: [The car accident was so serious, but he only suffered a minor concussion. It's a miracle.]

Student B: [I saw in the video that your head hit the ground first, and you are fine. Tell me, have you practiced Iron Head Kung Fu since you were a child?]

Student C: [Lin, you are so lucky.]

Lin: [I am lucky. I have used up all my luck in life.]

A series of laughing emojis were sent out in the group, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed.

After chatting for a while, Lin Xi closed the group, opened the system interface, and checked her own attributes.

Host: Lin Yan.

Age: 21

Gender: Female

Luck value: -99

Merit: 20

Guajin: 0

Twenty points of merit, ten of which came from the task of occupying the vines that she completed, helping the child named Xiao Rui avoid the misfortune of being chopped down, and ten points were additional rewards given by the system for Lin Nan's extra behavior.

What is additional behavior?

The requirements of the divination system for Lin Niang are very simple. Dig once a day to maintain the normal operation of the system. So in the case of yesterday, Lin Niang actually only needs to tell the child the result of the divination. Yes, only the child, that is, the person being divination, needs to be told. Even the parents do not need to be told. Even if the divination is completed, one point of merit can be obtained immediately. As for whether the child's fate will be changed in the end because of this divination, the system does not force Lin Niang to do anything, but if Lin Niang participates and successfully helps the child avoid bad luck, she can get an additional nine points of merit, which is considered an extended task.

But yesterday in the hospital, Lin did not only complete the above two points. After completing the system task and the extended task, she still worked hard to stop the mob's newspaper behavior. Therefore, the system rewarded her with an additional ten merit points.

As for why only ten points were awarded, firstly, this was not a task issued by the system, so the reward points were not high. Secondly, Lin Xi only played an indirect role, and it was Chen Chu who actually prevented the casualties.

"With 20 points, I don't have to worry about the system operation problems for at least the next half month, and I can focus on finding a job." Lin Xian planned slowly, "It's easy to take advantage of the profit, and it's also easy to tell the other party, but it's not easy to collect the money."

For example, in the situation yesterday, she could directly tell the child: Sister is good at fortune-telling, and she just told you a fortune, and you will be chopped by the uncle behind you in a while.

"Why does it sound so awkward?" Lin frowned. This was not fortune-telling, it was a curse. In short, in this case, he would definitely not get the fortune-telling fee.

"System, why can you only predict bad luck?" If I could predict a little better luck, it would be much easier to get the fortune.

"Because bad luck needs to be avoided." System.

"But good luck can make money." Lin Nan said.

"Good luck doesn't need to be avoided, but do the people here have any special hobbies?" System.

"That's not what I meant. Never mind. I'm going to take a shower." Lin Xi stopped chatting, found clothes from the closet, and prepared to go to the bathroom to take a shower.

"Bang!" With a sound, a black and gold lottery stick tube appeared. After shaking twice, a lottery stick fell out.

【Li Menglin, 21 years old, will be hit on the foot by a falling laptop in five minutes.】

Lin touched her chin and said, "She just said I was a ghost. Can I not let her take my food?"

She holds a grudge a little bit.

"Okay, deduct two merit points." System.

Lin didn't want to earn this little merit from Li Menglin, but she didn't want to lose two merit points because of her. She had no choice but to go to the next door and said to Li Menglin, "Your computer is going to fall."

Li Menglin was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously lowered her head to check. The computer was placed on the table intact and very stable. She looked back at Lin Xi in confusion.

Lin Xi didn't explain, but just said: "Just pay attention to it." After that, Lin Xi returned to her dormitory, and at the same time, the system's prompt sound of completing the task rang in her ears.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task, and I will reward you with one point of merit."

After Lin left, Li Menglin continued to watch TV series. After a while, she felt a little thirsty and stood up to get some water. When she turned around, her arm accidentally touched the computer stand. The computer fell off the table and hit her instep.

Li Menglin's eyes were filled with tears of pain, but as she looked at the computer that had fallen to the ground, she seemed to have thought of something, turned her head, and looked towards the next room in shock.

The author has something to say:

Lin Xi: Yes, I am still alive and well, and I will continue to live.

Li Menglin: I just fell in love with highlights.
