Early the next morning.
[Ding-dong: The male protagonist is on his deathbed. Please go and rescue him.]
Experience points: 300
Su Chen was abruptly pulled from her sleep by the system notification sound. "Exhausted? What did he do yesterday?"
The system sighed. "Yesterday, the chains didn't lock him up, and the door didn't stop him. Luckily, he retained a sliver of reason and simply crashed into the artificial hill, knocking himself unconscious. Not only was he knocked unconscious, but he also fell into the pond."
"Uh..." Su Chen couldn't recreate the male protagonist's series of actions in her mind.
She went there last night too. Logically speaking, although the rockery is adjacent to the pond, it would be a very difficult move to bump into the rockery and then fall into the pond.
The male lead is indeed the male lead; his luck is top-notch, and his methods of courting death are also top-notch!
Su Chen: "I don't know any medicine, how can I save him?"
System: [Ahem, for only 999, the miracle cure is yours!]
Su Chen squinted at him, "You damn system, tell the truth, did you make the male lead fall into the pond?"
[How could I, such a kind, beautiful, pure, and generous system, do such a despicable thing?]
Su Chen snorted, "What wouldn't you do for points?"
The system circled around the space following its own tail once. [Do I look like a system that would stop at nothing for points?]
Su Chen nodded seriously and said, "It's similar."
Finally, Su Chen spent another 999 points...
The road home is truly long and arduous, with no end in sight...
Su Chen dressed up and used magic to pluck a few hairs from her body to make a bamboo hat, over which was covered with a black veil.
The black veil reached her ankles, and when the wind blew, it fluttered slightly, revealing glimpses of the woman's crimson lips.
Su Chen thus contrived to create the image of a reclusive sage.
Of course, that's just her opinion.
They walked from the Mo residence to the Lu family's villa, and to avoid being too conspicuous, they spent half the day browsing the market along the way. However, since they were penniless, they didn't buy anything they liked...
This reminded Su Chen of the expensive cosmetics she used to have in her Taobao shopping cart. She would look at them every day, almost clicking on the installment payment option on Taobao, only to end up clicking the "X" instead.
She clenched her fist, thinking to herself: This time, saving the male lead is a sure way to make a fortune! I'll buy everything I just saw!
As soon as they reached the entrance of the Lu family's villa, the Lu family's plaque came into view, and the Lu family's gate swung open from the inside with a bang.
"Doctor, could you please take another look? Or you could prescribe a pharmacy!"
The speaker looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, wasn't he Uncle Wu, whom she had seen last night?
The old man he was holding had a medical kit hanging on his shoulder. He was shaking his head repeatedly. "No, your young master is already on his deathbed. Please find another expert!" With that, he shook off Uncle Wu and left without looking back.
"What are we going to do! We've searched every doctor in the entire city!"
“I was supposed to be with the young master at the villa yesterday. How could I have just left like that?”
With a "smack," Uncle Wu slapped himself across the face.
Seeing Uncle Wu raise his hand again, Su Chen was afraid he would slap her again, so she quickly walked up to him.
"Sir, is there something troubling you?"
Uncle Wu was utterly despondent at this point, and no longer cared who the person in front of him was. He simply sat down on the ground and wiped away his tears.
“My young master fell into the water last night, and I only found out this morning. He is now barely clinging to life, and the doctor says he is on his last legs… If that’s the case, I will be held responsible for his death!”
Su Chen smiled slightly and bowed, saying, "Sir, perhaps I can give it a try."
