Chapter 299 Twenty years of hard work is not as good as your twenty days of cheating?
After hearing the system so righteously distance itself from the original protagonist Yue Huaixiu's face-slapping system, Si Yuan asked: "Do you have any better way to deal with that face-slapping system?" 】
The system immediately came up with a way to deal with this unorthodox system: [A system like this, which claims to let the host complete tasks but actually does the tasks on its own, its real purpose is not to complete any tasks, but to seize the host's luck. The luck of those who are successfully slapped in the face by the male protagonist will flow to the male protagonist, and then the system that is parasitic on the male protagonist will be able to absorb the luck from the male protagonist. 】
Si Yuan asked: [After the system is bound to the host, is it so easy to absorb the host's luck? 】
The system almost jumped up and down in defense: [Please don’t slander the system! How can we have the ability to absorb the host's luck after binding to the host? It's all because the hero in the original plot is too stupid. If he relies on his own ability to slap his opponent in the face, then the opponent's luck will be transferred to him, and the dishonest system in his body will be useless no matter how jealous it is. But he just had to rely on cheating the system. The one who really defeated the opponent was not the hero himself, but the system, so the luck that flowed to the hero was originally false. And as the system controlled the hero's body more and more times, the bond with the hero became deeper and deeper, and then it could suck all the luck of the hero dry...】
After listening to the system's explanation, Si Yuan reviewed the original plot and the ending in his mind. As expected, the ending did not describe the fate of the hero Yue Huaixiu, leaving a lot of blank space. According to the system, it is estimated that after the hero's luck was sucked dry by the dishonest face-slapping system, he would not have a good ending.
There is really no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
The gifts from fate are often implicitly marked with a price. If you want to get something for nothing, you will only pay a higher price later.
At this moment, the child in Si Yuan's arms suddenly burst into tears. He came back to his senses and no longer focused on the secret conversation with the system.
He lowered his eyes to look at the baby in his arms. A newborn baby should have been wrinkled, but perhaps because it had absorbed a lot of spiritual energy, the child was quite cute.
The middle-aged woman who comforted Si Yuan when he first crossed over, the original owner's mother, came over and wanted to take the child from his arms: "Leave little Huai Xiu to me."
Long before the child was born, the original owner and his wife Hong Shuyun had decided on the child's name - Yan Huaixiu.
Although Si Yuan felt that the name had become a bit unlucky, he did not deliberately want to change it. After all, this was the name that the original owner and his wife had pondered for a long time before choosing. If the child had not been named when he traveled through time, he would not mind giving the child another name. Now that the child's name has been chosen, there is no need to change it just because it has the same name as the original male protagonist Yue Huaixiu.
Si Yuan let go and handed the child to Yan's mother. At this time, the nurse pushed the original owner's wife Hong Shuyun out of the delivery room. Si Yuan conscientiously played the role of the original owner's good husband and hurried forward to care about Hong Shuyun: "Are you feeling okay? You've worked hard!"
Hong Shuyun was exhausted at this time and was barely holding on to stay awake. Seeing her mother-in-law holding the child in her arms and her husband coming to care for her, she felt so comforted that she fell asleep as soon as she relaxed.
Before Si Yuan traveled through time, the original owner had already prepared a lot of preliminary work. Now he only needs to hire a professional confinement nanny to take care of Hong Shuyun.
Si Yuan knew that the world was about to change drastically and the Yan family would have to transform from an ordinary family, so he did not skimp on money. He not only hired a professional confinement nanny for Hong Shuyun, but also hired a professional nanny to take care of the child.
Childbirth is a serious blow to a woman's vitality. If female cultivators can make their own decisions, few of them would be willing to give birth to offspring, because giving birth to each child will consume a lot of their cultivation, and may even cause their cultivation to stagnate or even regress. Those female cultivators who have great ambitions for the path of cultivation will never give birth to offspring to destroy their own future of cultivation.
For ordinary mortal women, pregnancy and childbirth are also extremely harmful to their bodies, so Si Yuan tried his best to give the best care to Hong Shuyun who had just given birth.
It was only when the confinement nanny came to take care of her that Hong Shuyun found out that her husband had hired a confinement nanny and a childcare nanny without telling her. She was surprised and troubled and asked Si Yuan, "How much will it cost to hire two nannies? We don't have much savings, and we will have many more places to spend money in the future when we have a child."
Si Yuan smiled calmly and told her directly: "Shuyun, times have changed, you see." He took the cup that Hong Shuyun used to drink water, then placed his right hand above the rim of the cup, and just like that, condensed out of thin air a cup of spiritual water emitting a mysterious aura.
Si Yuan handed the cup of spiritual water to the shocked Hong Shuyun and said, "This is spiritual water. Drinking it can heal your body and cleanse your essence and marrow."
Hong Shuyun took the cup of spiritual water without reacting at all. Her eyes widened. After a long while, she stammered, "Am I dreaming? When did you learn how to perform magic?"
Si Yuan smiled and said, "It's not a magic trick, it really has opened an extraordinary era." He raised his hand and put the cup to Hong Shuyun's lips. Hong Shuyun subconsciously drank it. As soon as the spiritual water entered her mouth, she immediately felt that her whole body was washed. Her mind felt clear and her body became much more relaxed and comfortable from the weakness after giving birth. It was as if she had instantly returned to the state before pregnancy, or even better than before pregnancy. The shoulder and neck discomfort, waist and back pain that she had suffered from before all disappeared. The effect was immediate and effective.
Hong Shuyun wanted to convince herself at this time, but Si Yuan couldn't convince herself even if he just performed a magic trick.
Can this magical water, which can cure all diseases when drunk, be created by magic?
This is simply a miraculous existence.
After Hong Shuyun finished drinking a cup of spiritual water, she grabbed Si Yuan's wrist in surprise and joy, and asked excitedly: "What's going on? What on earth is going on?"
Si Yuan blinked, and then began his big lie: "It was probably when you gave birth yesterday, I saw a heavy rain falling from the sky, but it seemed that no one else could see the rain, only I saw it. When I came into contact with the rain, the rain was automatically absorbed into my body, and then I realized that this was not rain, but spiritual energy..."
Anyway, his explanation to Hong Shuyun was that during the revival of spiritual energy yesterday, he discovered that he was a genius and he had figured out how to condense the spiritual energy in the air that was invisible to others and turn it into spiritual water.
Times have changed now. With his extraordinary talent, he can make a lot of money just by selling spiritual water, so Hong Shuyun doesn't have to worry about money.
Hong Shuyun was indeed no longer worried about money. She couldn't even remember how much it would cost to hire two moon nannies. She grabbed Si Yuan and kept asking him about spiritual energy, and how she could absorb it into her body like him.
What followed was a small classroom for extraordinary cultivation.
Si Yuan was very patient. He had no intention of hiding anything anyway. The spiritual energy had already revived yesterday. It wouldn't be long before the first batch of creatures that benefited greatly from the revival of the spiritual energy would show their extraordinary side. The country would also notice this, and sooner or later everyone would embark on the path of cultivation.
Si Yuan would certainly not hide it from his family in this life. Not only would he not hide it, he would also try his best to bring them to practice together as soon as possible and stay ahead of other practitioners.
After the extraordinary era begins, only powerful strength can protect oneself.
Si Yuan carefully explained to Hong Shuyun how to practice, but he was also careful not to reveal too much professional knowledge, pretending to be a complete novice who relied entirely on his own exploration. From time to time, he would put forward a few conjectures to discuss with Hong Shuyun to improve his novice persona.
Hong Shuyun knew nothing about cultivation, so of course she had no idea whether it was normal for a novice like Si Yuan to know so much. However, she just thought that Si Yuan was gifted. After all, she and others could not see the so-called spiritual energy, only Si Yuan could see it. This peculiarity was enough to prove that Si Yuan was more talented than others. So it seemed normal for a genius to do something incredible.
Hong Shuyun followed Si Yuan's small classroom and studied for more than half an hour. Although she did not formally start practicing, she had already drunk three cups of spiritual water that Si Yuan condensed to demonstrate to her. She felt that all the torn parts of her body had healed, and now she could get out of bed and run a thousand meters without any problem.
Hong Shuyun whispered to Si Yuan about her situation: "What should I do now? If the doctor comes to check, I will be arrested and sliced up because my recovery speed is too fast and too unscientific?"
Si Yuan pondered and said, "Then let's be discharged from the hospital and go home tomorrow." Although he planned to cooperate with the national officials in the future, there was no need to hide anything about such a small matter as condensing spiritual water, but not hiding it from the national officials and not hiding it from the doctors of this ordinary maternity and child hospital were two different things.
In order to avoid trouble, Si Yuan decided to take Hong Shuyun and the child home from the hospital first.
As for the confinement nanny, even though Hong Shuyun said she no longer needed one, Si Yuan still insisted on inviting someone home to take care of her.
Even if Hong Shuyun recovers and no longer needs a confinement nanny to take care of her, having two confinement nannies take care of the child together can reduce the burden.
Hong Shuyun thought about what Si Yuan said about the changing times and that money was indeed not that important to them, so she did not insist on dismissing the confinement nanny.
