Chapter 159 Jishi Medical University 17
[When she smiled at the Frankenstein's monster professor, I wanted to kneel down and beg for her, but when she smiled so sweetly at her phone, my heart melted! I wanted to call her "daughter" so badly!]
Sweet girls save the world! I'll say it again, sweet girls save the world!!
Yu Naixin never had high hopes for mobile internet from the beginning.
After all, this is just a program segment. In essence, there are no users who need internet access, let alone internet producers. Yu Naixin thinks it would be good enough if she could play some simple games like Snake or Tetris on her phone for a while, check her WeChat Moments to see if there's any content, and chat with a few random WeChat friends. That would be perfect.
However, the reality surprised Yu Naixin greatly. Not only did everything she expected happen, but she could even use the browser to search for images, watch videos, download mobile games, and so on.
It has all the functions that a normal mobile phone has, which Yu Naixin is familiar with.
However, its overall size will be much smaller, and it is not the almost limitless Internet, and it has a rather narrow limitation on the element of "time".
All the year-related information is vague and unclear; tracing back from the latest news, the span is only about two years.
Everything from before that is unsearchable.
Since she already knew that "Heartbeat 1000%" was closely related to her hometown, Yu Naixin wasn't particularly surprised.
She quickly matched the timelines of some major events and found that the timeline shown in this episode was roughly ten years before she entered "Heartbeat 1000%".
Yu Naixin's eyes flickered.
...So close.
Yu Naixin brought up the system screen, opened the inventory, and her gaze fell on the silver photo frame she had brought from "Swan Castle".
As her preconceived notions became clearer, Yu Naixin's eyes narrowed slightly.
After turning off the system screen, Yu Naixin played on her phone for a while longer. Then she heard the sound of a card being swiped from the outside of the dormitory. Li Yuanyuan had returned.
Li Yuanyuan still looked gloomy and indifferent. She didn't greet any of her roommates, went to the bathroom without saying a word, and then sat down in her seat and opened her laptop.
Lin Yuting seemed quite used to this. She took off her shoes and put her feet on the edge of the chair, curled up and scrolled through her phone, occasionally letting out restrained laughter.
Since there was no more information to be obtained from Li Yuanyuan, Yu Naixin adopted the principle of "I won't offend others unless they offend me" and treated Li Yuanyuan as if she didn't exist.
Time quickly passed to eleven o'clock at night. Yu Naixin heard Lin Yuting behind her yawn, followed by the sound of her putting on her shoes and standing up from the chair.
"Naixin, Yuanyuan," Lin Yuting dutifully reminded them, "The dormitory lights go out at midnight, so you should both get some rest."
Yu Naixin responded with a soft "Mhm".
"Does anyone need to take a shower?" Lin Yuting asked. "If no one does, I'll go first."
Yu Naixin was slightly taken aback before realizing that Lin Yuting meant "taking a shower" instead of literally rinsing with cold water.
She said that although it wasn't cold, taking a cold shower late at night was a bit too stimulating.
I almost forgot, Jishi Medical University is a distinctly southern institution, and some of its customs and terminology don't quite suit Yu Naixin's habits as a northerner.
I'd like to thank the translation function of the "Heartbeat 1000%" program team, otherwise she might have had a really hard time understanding the southern dialect accent.
“You go first,” Yu Naixin waved to Lin Yuting, “I’m not going tonight.”
To ensure the dungeon environment wasn't too bad, Yu Naixin had thoroughly washed up before the dungeon show officially started. Only a few hours had passed, so there was no need to take another shower so soon.
Li Yuanyuan didn't participate in the conversation at all. Lin Yuting glanced at her and noticed that she was watching the video very intently, so she went to the shower room by herself.
After Lin Yuting finished showering, Li Yuanyuan also took her towel and pajamas to the shower room. Yu Naixin only needed to wash her face, brush her teeth, and wash her feet, and she climbed into bed faster than the other two.
Lying on this dormitory bed, which is only 90 centimeters wide, for the first time in a long while, Yu Naixin felt for a moment when she closed her eyes as if she had really returned to her hometown in the real world, back to her school.
However, Yu Naixin knew very well that it was just an illusion.
If she wants to go home, she still has a long and difficult road ahead.
**********
For the next week, a full seven days, Yu Naixin was so bored she was practically going moldy.
Thanks to her ability to solve all the mysteries of the entire episode within the first few hours and even obtain the white coat directly, she could only wait helplessly when the white coat clues were supposed to appear later.
She already knew all the key to the decryption, so getting herself a white lab coat was really unnecessary. The only purpose of the white lab coat was to buy the show's guests four minutes of safety time under the Frankenstein professor in the laboratory building, and it was also a necessary prerequisite for entering and exiting some special areas. Having one complete one was enough.
For the first couple of days, Yu Naixin was able to play on her phone and enjoy university life, but there's only so much content on the phone network, and the fake university life wasn't very interesting. She couldn't even leave the school.
Yu Naixin explored every corner of the entire Jishi Medical University, even counting the number of decks of cards on the shelves in the small supermarket next to the cafeteria. She was incredibly bored.
It was only during this episode that Yu Naixin discovered that the NPCs in "Heartbeat 1000%" also had a side that wasn't very flexible or intelligent. For example, they didn't know certain skills, and no matter how much she taught them, they couldn't learn them. Yu Naixin's attempt to teach Lin Yuting how to play cards ended in failure.
Lin Yuting held a hand of playing cards, looking completely bewildered: "Why is 2 bigger than 3?"
Yu Naixin: "..."
Good question, but she gave up on answering it.
Yu Naixin felt that she shouldn't make things difficult for someone who had already written a fixed program.
[This is hilarious! She still loves playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game), but she can't find any card-playing partners, hahaha!]
The little witch's speechless expression is so cute! I really want to pat her head!
[There should be Spider Solitaire on the laptop in the "Yao Ling" bed, right? Is that a game you can play?]
[Are you serious? How many card-playing enthusiasts would actually enjoy Spider Solitaire?!]
There are many mobile card games, like Happy Landlords, right? But I'm not sure if the "Yao Ling" phone has them. I've never seen any TV guests have the leisure to play on their phones during this particular episode...
[You guys are actually discussing how to solve the problem of "Yao Ling" wanting to play Dou Dizhu... But I still have to say! The real soul of card games lies offline! Online ones are just not fun at all!]
In the end, Yu Naixin could only take out her medical student basic science textbook, which was jokingly called "Blue Life and Death Love," to read. Even if she didn't have to study this version, the changes wouldn't be too significant, so she could just treat it as a preview of her professional knowledge.
The details in "Jishi Medical University" are quite well reproduced. After all, the Frankenstein's monster professor and the banyan tree spirit youth, who are the source of the program's scenes, are indeed from medical institutions or schools.
With the spiritual power enhancing her mind, Yu Naixin could use it much better when reading these professional books. She could even ask the teachers who came to class about the parts she had doubts about. These teacher NPCs were all seasoned clinical professionals, very experienced and highly skilled.
Yu Naixin felt she benefited greatly from their teachings.
【Why is it necessary to use such a serial number in a place like this?!】
I never imagined I'd see guests on "Heartbeat 1000%" diligently studying basic medical knowledge... The injuries encountered on "Heartbeat 1000%" are either extremely serious or simply outside the realm of science, so learning anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry from scratch is completely useless!
[I used to doubt whether "Yaoling" was a doctor, but now I'm certain she's a genuine medical student! I always thought her face looked like a teenager's; if she's already a doctor, that's amazing! My goodness, I can't even imagine how lucky her teachers would be to have such a diligent student!]
The viewers in the live stream were amazed by Yu Naixin's incredibly diligent study habits, but some viewers also noticed the real focus.
Don't be fooled by Yao Ling's appearance. Didn't you notice that even when she's wandering around aimlessly or asking the teacher questions, her actions are always very targeted?
This viewer used several bullet comments to explain their words in detail.
[Long-time viewers familiar with the "Jishi Medical University" episode know that there are three "terrifying rumors" required in the basic information. "Yao Ling" had already inquired about them. The first one is that various specimens and cadavers in the laboratory building are always inexplicably missing, which is related to the Frankenstein professor.]
[The second point is that a corpse was buried under the large banyan tree next to the laboratory building, causing the tree's aerial roots to turn blood red at night. This is related to the young man who was a banyan tree spirit.]
[There's a third rumor, a new one that's only surfaced in the last ten or so episodes: about a drowned ghost trying to pull people off the bridge where a group of ghostly figures in white coats floated by. This is almost certainly related to the upcoming third guest character.]
[The teacher NPCs that "Yao Ling" sought out were all people she had personally seen cross the bridge. She noted down each one who met the requirements, and then found an opportunity that was completely inconspicuous, so that most viewers wouldn't notice, to approach and talk to them.]
I don't know what additional information "Yao Ling" obtained while manipulating the Frankenstein's monster professor through puppetry, but judging from all her actions over the past week, "Yao Ling" clearly learned many clues that hadn't yet been shown to her, and deduced from them that the third guest character is likely related to the teacher group.
[She is truly, truly exceptionally capable. I only missed one or two of the last ten episodes of "Saving Health Medical University," so I was able to roughly deduce this result based on all the information I gathered from those eight or nine episodes. Yet, she quickly became just as knowledgeable as I was, and was still able to conduct her investigation in such a discreet manner.]
When these few comments appeared on the live stream screen, all the other comments stopped perfectly and did not disturb the guest.
Because if viewers think about these analyses carefully, they will find that they make perfect sense.
Yu Naixin really did something so important without most of the audience even noticing!
If there's anything left for longtime viewers of the "Jishi Medical University" segment to anticipate, it's just two things.
One question is which guest on the show can achieve a high level of purification, and the other is when the mutation and proliferation will be completed, and what kind of new guest will emerge from the proliferation.
Of these two, Yu Naixin is the most likely person to achieve them.
As the start time of "Jishi Medical University" went on, more and more viewers from the title zone clicked in to watch. Then, with the help of the barrage of explanations, they were amazed by Yu Naixin, a newcomer to the title zone program, and attracted by her, they started watching the live stream.
Unlike viewers in the regular viewership zone, those who regularly watch in the title zone are more interested in short-term entertainment. They tend to be more "loyal" and stay in the live stream for at least a while, which has led to a continuous increase in the number of viewers watching Yu Naixin's live stream, much more stable than in previous dungeon shows.
When Yu Naixin had absolutely nothing to do, she would browse the bullet comments on the system screen.
Although the viewers in the live stream may not know as much about "Jishi Medical University" as she does, and some content may be blocked so she can't see it, Yu Naixin can still extract important information that she didn't know before.
For example, the titles of the three guests who were considered legends before "Heartbeat 1000%".
Upon seeing this comment, Yu Naixin immediately called out "Priest Folding Fan" in the consciousness channel.
Then, the priest fan discovered that he was finally able to tell his master the relevant information.
"Of these three great gods, you already know about 'Jingtao'," the priest said with the folding fan. "He was the second guest to be deified, and is also recognized as the strongest guest in history. He was the only person to enter the legendary eighteenth dungeon, and it was in this dungeon that he perished."
"He earned his title in the fifth episode, holding the record for the fewest episodes to earn the title before you. His skill titles and buffs are geared towards enhancing attack and output, hence the nickname 'God of War,' making him the ceiling of combat power among all the show's guests. 'Surging Waves' was crowned in the thirteenth episode."
"The first guest to be crowned a god was 'Kumu Fengchun,' a gentle and kind female guest who also earned the title in the sixth episode."
"Her title skills and buffs are the ultimate healing skills. As long as the injury is not fatal, she can bring the patient back to life no matter how serious the injury is. Compared to her slightly complicated title, most people respectfully refer to her as 'Divine Healer'."
"By the tenth episode of the dungeon show, 'Kumu Fengchun' had already achieved legendary status, but her final record only stopped at the twelfth episode."
"Now it seems that the twelfth episode is nothing special, and many excellent guests can achieve it. But in the era of 'The Return of the Condor Heroes,' it was a groundbreaking feat with no doubt of epoch-making significance. Before her, no guest could even get past the tenth episode of the show."
"At the time, it was said that only if the guests of the show could pass more than 100 dungeons could they reach the minimum qualification for becoming gods. This statement was confirmed by the two guests who were later made gods."
"The information about the third guest who was crowned a god is pitifully scarce. He only won the title in the ninth episode, became a god in the tenth episode, and fell in the eleventh episode. He was truly a flash in the pan."
"He didn't have a particularly outstanding performance in the nine episodes before he received the title. Very few viewers watched his episodes. Most show guests would receive the title by the seventh or eighth episode at the latest. He was the first to receive the title in the ninth episode, breaking the record for the most episodes to receive the title."
"This 'Nightmare' and 'Surging Waves' lived in the same era. Almost all the spotlight was focused on 'Surging Waves.' He was basically deified in obscurity and died in obscurity. His fall was even earlier than 'Surging Waves.' However, because his deification was much later than 'Surging Waves,' he is considered the third great god."
"His performance in the dungeon, especially the two matches after he obtained the title, still exists only in rumors and hearsay. We can only infer from his title 'Nightmare' after his fall that he must have had skills and buffs such as confusion, illusion, and creating fear."
After listening to the explanation of the priest's folding fan, Yu Naixin's first impression was that it was very interesting.
If we arrange them in chronological order, the changes in the most important titles of these three guests on the show "Investiture of the Gods" are quite interesting.
At the beginning, the "Dead Trees Rejuvenate" master prioritized survival, believing that as long as one could live, there was hope for existence. Later, the "Surging Waves" master considered attacks the best form of defense, believing that brute force could overcome all attacks, thus moving to another extreme.
The final "Nightmare" is even more interesting, as it shifts to the mind control system, taking a completely different path.
It can be said that "Heartbeat 1000%" is very selective in cultivating these top talents. It not only selects program guests who are qualified and capable, but also selects program guests who are most likely to reach the level of being called gods.
Having experienced so much in "Heartbeat 1000%", Yu Naixin is pretty sure that the mastermind behind this so-called dating reality show had the main purpose of eliminating the ghosts who were the guest stars.
"That person" really hopes that the show's guests, who are destined to become gods, can break through the "production team" restrictions set by Him, so that this dating reality show can truly come to an end.
The three great figures He chose represent three different attempts He made in different directions.
As a guest on the show recognized by everyone who knows her as the next one to be deified, Yu Naixin reflected on her title "Yao Ling" and, sure enough, it pointed to something different from the previous three great gods.
The biggest difference between "Yao Ling" and the titles of its three predecessors is that it has a dual nature.
This is reflected in "nightmare," but not very obviously, since "nightmare" specifically refers to nightmares. Earlier terms like "withered trees come back to life" and "stormy waves" point to a very clear and singular path: self-preservation and offense.
"Yao Ling" refers to the "sun," which can dispel darkness and eliminate gloom, as well as nurture life and illuminate all living beings.
The way of doing things that Yu Naixin has shown along the way is completely consistent.
She would ruthlessly kill the vampire duke, the elf prince, the werewolf knight, and the ghost wizard in "Swan Castle," turning them to ashes. She would also seek revenge on the paper doll boy, the white bone scholar, and the fox demon priest in "Cocoon Village." However, she would also feel pity for the butter flower monk and the headless stone ghost in "Xiawei Temple" and try her best to erase their regrets when she accepted the special magical artifacts they gave her.
From Da Niu to Luo Si Lu Na, De Fu Man, and then to the ordinary monks of Xia Wei Temple and Lin Yu Ting, it is not difficult to see Yu Nai Xin's inherent gentleness and kindness.
Yu Naixin asked the priestess with her folding fan her last question about this topic: "From the very beginning of the prototype of 'Heartbeat 1000%', to the birth of the first master 'Dead Tree Springs', to the birth of 'Surging Waves' and 'Nightmare', and finally to my entry into 'Heartbeat 1000%', what were the approximate time intervals between these four points?"
“Uh…” The priest with the folding fan hesitated, “Miss Yu, my predecessor, the fox demon priest, was born within the ‘Cocoon Village,’ where I had no concept of ‘outside’ time…”
“Then let’s do it proportionally,” Yu Naixin said. “If we take the time between the release of ‘Heartbeat 1000%’ and its legendary status as ‘Rejuvenation’ as the order of ‘1’, what are the remaining two time periods?”
The priest pondered for a moment and gave the answer: "It is '1' and '2', with an error of no more than 0.5."
-----------------------
Author's Note: I've finally gotten to this point. That's how I got the title "Yao Ling"~
This simulation is almost over. Next time, Naixin will have to put on a good show and play dumb to fool the other guy, otherwise these two male guests will just stay hidden, hahaha.
