The sky curtain makes you a useless class monitor, yet you act arbitrarily for eternity?

"well……"

"I didn't expect it to be delayed for so long."

"Grandma's various bodily functions are nearing their limits..."

Yan Cong's heartfelt words echoed in the video.

His gaze lingered on the payment slip.

The above surgical procedures were listed one after another.

[Neural repair in Alzheimer's disease.]

[The five senses have been restored.]

[Digestive system recovery.]

[Basic physical fitness recovery.]

Repairing long-term nutritional deficiencies.

Postoperative stabilizing medication.

A dense, long string of them.

In total, they almost spent all of those two million.

"oops."

Uncle Cheng noticed that Yan Cong was staring at the payment slip, so he patted him on the shoulder.

Are you worried about the cost of subsequent recovery and rehabilitation?

"Um."

Yan Cong nodded.

"Little Bear, haven't you already broken the curse of failed weapon crafting?"

Uncle Cheng forced a smile.

"So, from now on, will we still lack money even if we just casually practice?"

Yan Cong paused for a moment.

Then, he gave a wry smile.

"Could not break through."

"what?"

"I tried it today."

Yan Cong lowered his head.

"It failed again later."

"That one was just good luck."

Uncle Cheng opened his mouth.

This time, he didn't know how to persuade him either.

He paused for a long while before letting out a dry laugh.

"Well, anyway, the most difficult part has already been given."

"If all else fails, you can come with your uncle for a ride."

Yan Cong did not reply.

His gaze fell on the system panel in front of him, which only he could see.

[First target: Huang Ruhua]

【Favourability: 20】

[Refundable multiplier: 2/up to 10]

[Once the affinity reaches 90, the next binding target can be unlocked, and one fixed high-level resource can be returned as a reward.]

[Example: If the host has 10,000 and gives it all to Huang Ruhua, they will receive 20,000 back based on the current return rate.]

However, this 20,000 cannot be given away again.

[If the host increases Huang Ruhua's favorability towards you to 90, there is a chance that 10,000 will be returned to 90,000.]

Alternatively, you can choose a premium resource that you previously owned and acquire it nine times.

[Note: Each time the system upgrades, the host will simultaneously gain corresponding martial arts cultivation!]

Current system level: 0

[Ten more goddesses need to be won over before leveling up!]

Yan Cong's lips twitched.

He closed his eyes, his facial muscles tensed for a long time, and finally managed to squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth.

"Oh shit."

"What a fucking bastard."

"drop--"

Just at this time.

The operating room lights went out.

The sound of the doctor pushing open the door startled Yan Cong awake from his chair.

He hurried to meet him.

"Doctor, how is my grandma?"

The doctor took off his mask and smiled.

"The surgery was a success."

"All that's needed afterward is rest and recovery."

Yan Cong's shoulders immediately relaxed.

The anxiety that had been building up finally subsided.

"Who are the patient's family members?"

rear.

The nurse pushed the hospital bed out and called out.

Yan Cong hurried over.

"Here, here!"

The nurse glanced at him and nodded.

"Take this IV drip and come with me to the ward."

"it is good."

The group took the elevator to the ward area.

After working for quite a while, they finally settled the old lady into the hospital bed.

After tidying up the things, the nurse turned to leave.

Yan Cong quickly asked a question.

"Nurse, when will my grandma wake up?"

The nurse glanced at the hospital bed and smiled.

"Look, isn't she already awake?"

Yan Cong froze.

He turned his head slowly.

Hospital bed.

The old woman had her eyes open and weakly reached out her hand to him.

"Small……"

"Little bear..."

Yan Cong quickly squatted down, took her hand, and pressed it against his face.

"I am here."

"Grandma, I'm here!"

The old lady's face was still full of wrinkles.

But the cloudiness in those eyes was gone.

She touched Yan Cong's face.

I touched his thinner cheeks.

I touched the dark circles under his eyes.

I could also feel the thick calluses on his palms and fingertips.

The old woman's eyes quickly filled with tears, which streamed down her wrinkles.

"Little Bear".

"It's all Grandma's fault."

"I'm sorry you had to suffer."

Yan Cong couldn't hold on any longer.

He lay by the hospital bed, his shoulders trembling as he cried.

"grandmother……"

"grandmother!"

"That's great, waaaaah..."

"You're alright now."

The old woman raised her hand and gently stroked Yan Cong's head.

aside.

Uncle Cheng secretly wiped his eyes as he watched this scene.

Yan Cong had witnessed all the hardships he had endured on his journey to cure his grandmother.

The family fortune was exhausted.

He was ridiculed.

I heard that even his girlfriend, whom he wanted to marry, ran away because he had no money.

Fortunately.

The person was saved; God did not let him down.

She cried for a long time.

Yan Cong quickly stood up and used a tissue to wipe the old lady's face.

"Grandma, are you hungry?"

"I'll go buy you something to eat."

"Need not."

The old woman grabbed his hand.

"Are we in a city hospital now?"

Things are so expensive outside.

"We'll eat at home then."

As she spoke, something else came to mind.

"Oh, right."

"I saw you with a girl earlier, Little Bear."

"Oh, did she go to school today?"

"Aren't you going to bring her over so Grandma can meet her?"

Yan Cong's throat suddenly felt blocked.

"Grandma, I..."

"I……"

His voice trembled.

Just before he was about to burst into tears, he rushed out of the ward as if fleeing.

"Grandma, I'll go buy you some food."

The door was closed.

The old woman stared at the doorway, her hand still suspended in mid-air.

She was silent for a moment, as if she had realized something.

Then, she pursed her lips and sighed softly.

Then, she waved to Uncle Cheng.

"Xiao Cheng."

"Come here."

"Tell Auntie, what has our little bear been through these past few days?"

Uncle Cheng's throat moved.

"Aunt……"

"That's how it is..."

The camera did not linger in the ward.

It chased after it outside.

Yan Cong left the hospital, his eyes red, and walked along the street for a long time.

The city was still not fully asleep in the early hours of the morning.

The lights at the roadside stalls were on.

Steam rose from the pot.

At last.

He stopped in front of a stall selling congee with preserved egg and lean pork.

"Hey buddy, want a bowl?"

The vendor shouted out a sales pitch.

Yan Cong nodded.

His gaze, however, fell on the small table behind the stall.

A couple was sitting there.

The girl scrolled through her phone, grinning foolishly.

The boy urged him on.

The girl quickly put down her phone, picked up the porridge, and gulped it down.

Less than ten seconds.

She put down the bowl and gave the boy a silly grin.

"I've finished drinking!"

Yan Cong was somewhat lost in thought.

"Hey bro, bro!"

"The porridge is ready!"

"Takeout or eat here?"

Yan Cong came to his senses.

"Pack."

"Okay, that'll be six yuan in total. Scan here."

Yan Cong paid the bill, picked up the porridge, and silently walked towards the hospital.

Behind me, I could hear the couple talking.

"Baby, that guy just kept staring at me like a weirdo."

"I saw it too."

"hiss--"

"He looks like a dog!"

"Pfft, how can you say that about someone just because they're single! Hahaha..."

Yan Cong paused for a moment.

A night breeze blew by.

The hot porridge in the plastic bag sloshed around, scalding his fingers until they turned red.

"Like a dog..."

He chuckled softly.

"Oh."

Then, Yan Cong looked up at the night sky.

"system."

Do you have a target strategy guide?

【none】

"never mind."

"It's just about relying on yourself."

He stood under the light at the hospital entrance, carrying the bowl of porridge.

Her eyes were still red, but the corners of her mouth slowly twitched into a smile.

"Old Ji".

"We'll be fighting side by side again."

Are you ready?

"You'll have to ask the second brother."
