NOVPUBUnder Li Guotai’s persuasion, finally Qiu Wanshan gave up the idea of inviting Wu Bin to eat mushrooms right away.
However, before leaving, he repeatedly emphasized that Wu Bin should call him when he went to Yunnan, and he would definitely treat him warmly.
Wu Bin smiled and agreed verbally, but he never considered it seriously.
You treat me like a lab rat; how could I possibly call you proactively before going? Isn’t that just asking for trouble?
After the other doctors had left, Li Guotai had a private conversation with Wu Bin.
He put his hands in his pockets and asked, "Kid, your situation this time is a bit special."
"The people who were poisoned with you not only have a similar condition to yours, but all of their hands are fractured too. Is there anything you want to explain to me about that?"
Hearing Li Guotai ask in this way, Wu Bin immediately put on an expression of knowing nothing.
"Is that so? What a coincidence! I didn’t know about that."
Seeing that Wu Bin was unwilling to tell the truth, Li Guotai didn’t push him, but instead said lightly, "Whatever it is, just take it easy, kid."
"A life has already been taken, and the other surviving people don’t have the same physical strength as you. Just don’t trouble them anymore."
Upon hearing this, Wu Bin instantly became upset.
"Director, you’re wrongly accusing me here. My physical condition is actually the worst!"
"Look at the guy lying at the entrance, a retired scout, okay? Isn’t his physical condition better than mine?"
Li Guotai smiled and shook his head.
"You’re a real piece of work, kid."
"Alright, just keep it quiet in the hospital for a while and don’t cause any more trouble, okay?"
After saying this, Li Guotai left the ward.
Wu Bin pursed his lips and said nothing.
If he had a choice, he wouldn’t want to be sick either.
Just as Wu Bin was thinking this, a notification tone from the system sounded in his mind.
Ding.
[Congratulations host, you have successfully cured a disease and earned 400 life coins]
[A new disease has been prepared for you, please make a selection]
Damn!
Here we go again!
Not to mention, "Happy Incidents" still has one random disease untriggered, right?
You’re rushing this too much!
No matter how much Wu Bin protested, the system was indifferent and still urged him to make a selection quickly.
Wu Bin helplessly looked at the three latest options and immediately felt his scalp tingle.
Burns, burns, and damn it, more burns!
Wu Bin was completely baffled.
Not cool, system, what’s going on?
All three options are burns, is that even a choice?
The system did not provide an explanation.
It was very much a case of take it or leave it.
[Please make a selection soon, host]
Gosh!
Bully much?
Wu Bin looked at the three options and fell into a deep thought.
From the unreasonable behavior of the system this time, it seemed that some diseases are unavoidable.
The reason Wu Bin had always avoided choosing burns was because they are very painful.
And now the system was forcibly making him choose, probably because it detected this reluctance.
Well, since there’s no choice, I just have to bite the bullet and go through with it!
[Host has made a selection]
[Next disease: Burns]
[Warning: Burns are a special condition. When the host is in a state of death, continued burning will keep deducting prestige points]
Great, continued burning, huh.
This is going to be a painfully deadly routine.
Since he had already chosen what disease would be next, Wu Bin straightforwardly opened the Life Coin Mall to see what bizarre skills the system had given him this time.
[Fire of Joy: When this skill is activated, 20% of the burning pain will be completely transformed into laughter, exchange price: 100 Life Coins]
Wu Bin’s eyes suddenly lit up!
Holy crap!
This is awesome!
The system finally acted decent for once!
Buy, buy, buy!
I’m gonna buy the hell out of it!
[Revenge Flame: When this skill is activated, it can cause a target to repeatedly catch fire until they are admitted to the hospital for treatment, exchange price: 100 Life Coins]
Yikes!
Looking at this skill, Wu Bin gasped in shock.
Repeating catching fire is just too cool!
And it’s an active skill too?
This skill feels... kinda harsh.
Wu Bin decided not to buy it right away, opting to wait and see.
He turned his attention to the last skill.
[Evil Spirit Suit: When this skill is activated, a commemorative suit just like the Evil Spirit Knight’s is awarded, exchange price: 300 Life Coins]
Wu Bin: ...
You really do understand bundled sales, system.
So by your logic, since I’m already burning up, why not just cosplay as the Evil Spirit Knight? 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
Wu Bin really did not want to indulge the system’s morbid sense of humor.
But when he saw the attributes of this suit, he couldn’t help but be fiercely tempted.
According to the system description, wearing the Evil Spirit Knight’s suit could reduce 75% of the burning pain and the clothes have a high flame resistance level, so they won’t turn to ash.
As an adult, even if I’m burning, I’ve got to keep a shred of dignity.
Thinking this, Wu Bin bit the bullet and exchanged for the suit.
Ding.
[Congratulations Host, Purchase Successful]
[Thank you for your patronage]
Looking at the few Life Coins left, Wu Bin fell into thought again.
Why do I feel like I’ve fallen into the system’s consumer trap?
Earning money off sickness, spending in the store, not thinking of taking anything home?
As Wu Bin was feeling puzzled, lying on the bed, Jiang Lin spoke up, "Old Ma, when can we get back to work? I’m lying here every day, feeling uneasy."
Ma Baoguo was engrossed in the TV at that moment.
Hearing Jiang Lin ask this, Ma Baoguo immediately replied, "We’re lying in the hospital and still getting our salaries, what’s there to feel uneasy about?"
"You just can’t sit still. Now that you finally have a chance to rest, just lie down and enjoy it."
"This is a premium ward; if it weren’t for Wu Bin our friend’s sake, we wouldn’t even be here."
Jiang Lin pursed his lips and said somewhat dissatisfied, "If it weren’t for him treating us to hot pot, we wouldn’t have ended up here either."
Ma Baoguo instantly glared at Jiang Lin.
"Hey kid, Wu Bin our friend treating us to hot pot was all out of good intentions; he didn’t expect it to turn out like this."
Wu Bin immediately felt a bit embarrassed.
He had indeed considered the risk, just didn’t expect to hit it on the first attempt.
Wu Bin hurriedly interjected to smooth things over.
"It’s okay Uncle Ma, it really is my fault, his complaint is normal."
Ma Baoguo looked at Wu Bin, touched.
"Wu Bin, my friend, you really are a good-hearted kid."
Wu Bin blushed and quickly stated that he didn’t deserve such praise.
Jiang Lin really looked down on Wu Bin, especially when every time Yin Yourong came over to personally feed Wu Bin, Jiang Lin was even more disdainful.
At this moment, feeling mostly recovered, he deliberately stated in front of Yin Yourong and He Bingbing, "You all keep lying down if you want, I am pretty much recovered now and will go to handle the discharge procedures in a bit."
As he spoke, Jiang Lin even deliberately stood up in front of Yin Yourong and threw a couple of punches, acting very healthy and strong.
