Chapter 7 Upgrade



Lu Lingxi and Wang Shuxiu became famous in one battle. The whole hospital heard that there was a mother and son living on the third floor of the inpatient department. Even the doctor couldn't help but stare at Wang Shuxiu's 10-centimeter high heels when he came to check on the ward, imagining how painful it would be to be hit in the eye by such a sharp heel.

Through this fight, Wang Shuxiu unexpectedly became closer to other people in the ward.

Sister Tian smiled and joked with her, "My son was not raised in vain. He stood by his mother at the critical moment."

Wang Shuxiu looked happy, "That's it!"

Others joined in the joke, which made Wang Shuxiu even happier.

Lu Lingxi was a little uncomfortable being the protagonist of their discussion. This experience was very new to him. He could feel Wang Shuxiu's inner pride, and she was proud of him. He felt that he had done nothing, but just hugged the waist of the man who should be called his father in the chaos. Was Wang Shuxiu so happy about such a small thing? Lu Lingxi tilted his head and stared at Wang Shuxiu's profile. The redness in her eyes had disappeared, and her smile was completely sincere.

Noticing Lu Lingxi's gaze, Wang Shuxiu quickly turned back to look at him and asked nervously, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Lu Lingxi shook his head, and Wang Shuxiu felt relieved. She couldn't help but advise him, "Next time you meet that old bastard, run away. Don't stand there stupidly and be fooled by him." This was also because Lu Lingxi had lost his memory. If he hadn't lost his memory, Wang Shuxiu wouldn't have been worried.

Lu Lingxi digested the old bastard in his mind for a few seconds, and nodded obediently. Wang Shuxiu continued to chat with Sister Tian. Lu Lingxi had nothing to do, so he quietly opened the white panel while reading the newspaper. The results of the morning's fertilization came out, and he obtained 50 points of plant heart. Although he didn't go for the plant heart, he couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the words 56/100 (0th level) displayed at the bottom.

This time, Lu Lingxi found a pattern in the panel. He could get one point of plant heart by satisfying the needs of a single plant. However, for a flower bed with pansies, the panel was not calculated based on a single pansy, but on the flower bed as a whole, which could get 10 points of plant heart. Lu Lingxi was responsible for five flower beds in the morning, and the final result was enough to make up for his care for the spider plants for several months.

Speaking of spider plants, Lu Lingxi didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that the spider plant on the windowsill seemed to have recovered too well. In just a few days, the leaves that were yellow and limp before were completely straightened up, and the leaves were green and shiny as if they had been specially cared for. Yesterday, the doctor brought a group of nurses to make rounds in the ward, and one of the nurses praised him for his good care of the spider plants and asked him for advice. Lu Lingxi had never raised flowers and plants before, and he didn't know if he was being too suspicious. Could the spider plant recover so well just by watering it, or was it all related to the mysterious white panel?

The morning passed quickly, and Wang Shuxiu had to prepare for work in the afternoon. Lu Lingxi saw the tiredness in Wang Shuxiu's eyes, and hesitantly said that he wanted to be discharged from the hospital. When he was just able to go out freely, he advised Wang Shuxiu not to come to the hospital so early. His body had almost recovered and he could take care of himself. Wang Shuxiu didn't listen to him at the time, so Lu Lingxi planned to be discharged from the hospital. After Lu Yishui's behavior today, Lu Lingxi wanted to be discharged from the hospital earlier. From Lu Yishui's words, we can know that the family's finances are a bit embarrassed. Whether he is hospitalized or Lu Yishui gambles, they all rely on Wang Xiushu's hard work to make money. Lu Lingxi couldn't just look at Wang Shuxiu's hard work with a clear conscience, so he wanted to reduce some of her burden as much as he could.

"Discharge?" Wang Shuxiu was stunned for a moment when she heard Lu Lingxi's suggestion, and then she objected fiercely, "Your body hasn't recovered yet, why should you be discharged?"

Lu Lingxi was thinking about making an excuse. Wang Shuxiu looked at Lu Lingxi suspiciously, then suddenly slapped him on the head and said with a smile, "What? Are you worried that I, your mom, don't have money? You little bastard, you know how to feel sorry for your mom. Don't worry, who am I, your mom? How could I be without money? Don't listen to your dad's nonsense. Even if I don't have other money, I definitely have the money for your hospitalization."

Lu Lingxi hesitated and didn't say anything. Wang Shuxiu smiled, patted Lu Lingxi on the shoulder to tell him not to worry, and then left in a hurry.

Lu Lingxi lay on the windowsill and watched Wang Shuxiu's figure disappear, then he sat back quietly on the bed. He had to think seriously about his future after being discharged from the hospital.

In the next few days, Wang Shuxiu arrived at the hospital early as usual and stayed until work every day. She was a little worried that Lu Yishui would take advantage of her absence to cause trouble for Lu Lingxi again, so she took Lu Lingxi to her several times and told her to run away when she saw Lu Yishui and wait for her if there was anything. To be on the safe side, Wang Shuxiu not only begged the people in the ward to keep an eye on Lu Lingxi, but also went to find the nurses she had quarreled with before, hoping that they would pay attention to strangers and not let Lu Lingxi be fooled away.

Some of the nurses had seen it with their own eyes, and even if they hadn't seen it, they had heard about the fight between Wang Shuxiu and Lu Lingxi's father, and they all sympathized with Wang Shuxiu privately. Although Wang Shuxiu had a bad attitude before, it was really hard for a mother to calm down when she thought about Lu Lingxi lying unconscious on the bed. In addition, Lu Lingxi looked pleasing, so she agreed to Wang Shuxiu's request.

Wang Shuxiu was relieved, but Lu Lingxi's behavior was restricted again. He would be surrounded by nurses and asked for a long time if he wanted to go to the small garden to see the flowers. Lu Lingxi knew that Wang Shuxiu was worried about him, so he would report to the nurses before going out every time, and try to move with other people in the ward. He didn't go anywhere else, just went to the lobby on the first floor to see the green ivy, and went to the small garden in the morning to see the pansies.

After the last fertilizer application, Lu Lingxi met Zhang Lao again in the small garden. Zhang Lao still remembered his amnesia and asked him how he was recovering. Hearing that he still had no memory of the past, Zhang Lao even comforted him. Lu Lingxi knew in his heart that he was not amnesiac, but he was still very grateful for Zhang Lao's comfort. He accompanied Zhang Lao to water the plants once, and took care of the spider plant and the green ivy in the hall. The plant heart on the panel finally rose to 99/100 (level 0), just one step away from upgrading.

That night, the patient in bed 16 in the same ward received a notice that he would be discharged the next day, and everyone in the ward was very happy. No one went to bed even at the usual time, and everyone gathered together to chat excitedly. Lu Lingxi was also happy for the patient in bed 16, who was a big and strong man, and everyone called him Lao Ding. Lu Lingxi was the youngest in the ward, and he was the only one who could not be called Lao Ding but had to be called Brother Ding. Brother Ding, like Lu Lingxi, had a head injury, and it was also because of a fight. But Brother Ding never said why they fought.

Lu Lingxi was infected by the lively atmosphere in the ward. He kept smiling and listening to their conversation. Occasionally, when someone mentioned him, he would say a few words. After years of regular life, Lu Lingxi was actually a little sleepy, but he couldn't sleep yet. He calculated the time to water the spider plant tonight. With just a little plant heart panel, he could upgrade it. He was ready and was waiting for everyone to sleep before upgrading.

It was past 11 o'clock before everyone in the ward washed up and went to bed at the reminder of the nurse on duty. Lu Lingxi had been waiting for a long time. He quickly packed himself up, sat quietly on the bed, and watched the spider plant eagerly.

Brother Li in bed 19 asked, "Xiao Lu, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Lu Lingxi nodded guiltily and whispered, "I just drank too much water, so I'm waiting to go to the toilet again."

Brother Li laughed, thinking that Lu Lingxi was still a child. He could have gone to sleep first and then gone to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Was he afraid of wetting the bed? He told Lu Lingxi to go to sleep quickly, and he turned over and began to snore.

Everyone in the ward fell asleep one by one, and the snoring sounded again. Lu Lingxi turned off the lights and nervously looked at the white panel in front of him under the light of the corridor. When the word "no" behind "plant needs" turned into "water", he immediately perked up and quickly took the prepared mineral water and carefully poured it into the flowerpot.

As the clear mineral water seeped into the soil of the flowerpot, the green strip at the bottom of the panel finally showed signs of growth.

Satisfy the needs of the Chlorophytum plant and be rewarded with Plant Heart +1!

Following this tip is another tip.

When you have collected 100 points of Plant Heart, you will start the primary mental scan with a range limited to three meters. You will also be rewarded with a pack of tomato seeds.

As this reminder flashed by, Lu Lingxi felt his hand sink, and a palm-sized black package appeared in his hand.

Lu Lingxi: “…”

He had imagined what would happen after collecting 100 points of Plant Heart, but none of these things included a bag of tomato seeds suddenly appearing in his hand in the middle of the night. He didn't have time to study what a mental scan was, and his attention was focused on the small black package in his hand. Lu Lingxi subconsciously shook the package in his hand, a little worried. Would these seeds be visible to only him like a panel? Or were they real objects that everyone could see? According to common sense, no matter what the white panel was, since he was rewarded with seeds, he must be expected to plant them, so everyone should be able to see them.

He thought that it would be a bad idea to ask someone to confirm whether he could see what he had in his hand in the middle of the night. If he was not careful, his behavior would be regarded as a psychopath. Lu Lingxi shook the package again and carefully put it in the drawer at the head of the bed. If he guessed correctly, he would have to find a reason to explain to Wang Shuxiu tomorrow why he suddenly had an extra bag of tomato seeds after sleeping.

After solving the seed problem, Lu Lingxi focused on the so-called mental scan. At this point, Lu Lingxi was increasingly confused about what the white panel was. The other party only gave a hint, but did not mention what a mental scan was or how to use it. Lu Lingxi tried to imagine the mind as thinking, and mental scanning as divergent thinking. A few dozen seconds passed, and just when his mind was blank and he was about to give up, he unexpectedly "saw" the pot of spider plant on the windowsill in his mind.

Lu Lingxi looked at the windowsill in surprise. This feeling was too mysterious and he didn't know how to describe it. He was sure that the spider plant that appeared in his mind was not what he saw with his eyes, but more like the radar introduced in the popular science program he had watched before, which was transmitted back to his mind through some kind of light wave scanning. Lu Lingxi had an illusion that when he thought about the mental scan, it seemed that a strange thought wave was radiating around him within a range of three meters. After this thought wave received the band transmitted back and analyzed it, the objects scanned before would appear in his mind, or more precisely, the plants scanned.

Of course, this series of transmission and reception was very fast and did not take time. Just like Lu Lingxi could see the pot of spider plant within three meters in his mind as long as he thought about it. In order to confirm this, Lu Lingxi quickly got out of bed quietly. He carefully stepped over the person sleeping on the ground and estimated the distance of three meters in his mind.

Bed 19, bed 18, when Lu Lingxi stood in front of bed 18, he finally "couldn't see" the spider plant anymore. He tried to take a step back and deliberately turned his back to the windowsill. The thought flashed through his mind, and the spider plant on the windowsill appeared clearly in his mind.

Lu Lingxi clicked on the white panel, and the same spider plant pattern appeared in the center of the panel. Unlike the past, the pattern in the center of the panel was a flat pattern. This time, the spider plant on the windowsill appeared in front of him in a three-dimensional form.
