Online: I Can See Health Bars

"Of course!"

Xiao Jin narrowed her eyes and then turned to Fang Yu, saying, "Don't worry about this, I'll handle it."

I can't handle it anyway. It's like me, an otaku, going up against those business tycoons, probably as simple as them squashing an ant.

Fang Yu muttered to himself in his mind.

At this time, the two had already reached the downstairs.

"Miss!"

The driver opened the car door, and the two got in.

There was a recent Seeking Demon Game Helmet in the car.

Fang Yu was a bit puzzled.

Could this be one with the Lucky Gift Package?

Seems unlikely.

The Lucky Gift Package only comes with the first batch of helmets sold; subsequent ones don't have it.

Though Sister Jin is rich, it's still hard to get a new helmet that hasn't been used and comes with a Lucky Gift Package, who knows if it brings luck before entering the game.

The roads were not crowded in the early morning, and the car quickly arrived at the hospital.

Qi Xiaojin walked in front, just like a VIP pass, with unobstructed access along the way.

Under Fang Yu's puzzled gaze...

"I bought this hospital."

Fang Yu: ...

Extravagantly heartless!!!

They pushed open the ward door. Qi Meng, attached to a breathing apparatus, lay there quietly, surrounded by a bunch of doctors who had been waiting.

The external injuries from Qi Meng's car accident had been treated and were almost invisible, leaving only scars.

But the brain damage had turned her into a vegetable, and there wasn't much that could be done.

"Fang Yu, help my sister put on the game helmet."

Me?

Fang Yu was doubtful but carefully unwrapped the game helmet packaging.

Upon seeing the delicate helmet design and the various fancy patterns, he realized it was not even on the same level as his regular game helmet.

Clearly a luxury item made for the tycoons!

Only, it was missing that tacky nouveau-riche gold color, opting instead for a bright red hue, kind of festive.

After carefully placing it on Qi Meng, Fang Yu looked toward Qi Xiaojin.

Qi Xiaojin said nothing, just tightly pressed her lips together.

The butterfly's wings flapped harder and harder; she began to feel that the situation was slowly spiraling out of control.

The big sister had an accident, the younger brother and parents had already bought tickets to return to the country, and they would be arriving in a couple of days, bringing another load of troubles.

It won't be easy to persuade the stubborn parents, but luckily, Qi Xiaojin was mentally prepared.

The doctors started to adjust the medical equipment, and as the switch on the game helmet was turned on, everyone's eyes shifted to the screen showing the brain waves.

The previously steady brain wave pattern suddenly began to fluctuate sharply!

"It worked!"

"The patient is responding!"

"This method is viable!!"

The doctors were all excited, but only Qi Xiaojin remained composed.

Because she understood in her heart that this was an inevitable outcome.

The key wasn't the connection, but whether the big sister in the game could lead a second life, could connect back with reality, allowing herself to be found.

As long as they could locate the big sister in the game, she could use her current resources to ensure the big sister's smooth transition to the day of the apocalypse.

"This amplitude of fluctuation, it must mean joy!"

"No, the frequency of a joyous fluctuation would be higher; this one probably indicates confusion!"

The doctors began analyzing the data, and Qi Xiaojin was on the phone, arranging for security personnel, a dozen black-suited bodyguards swiftly arrived, and after thorough screening by Qi Xiaojin, some were left behind to take turns guarding Qi Meng's ward.

"Apart from me, him, and these five attending doctors, no one else is allowed to enter."

Fang Yu was surprised to find his name on the selected list.

They didn't treat me as an outsider at all.

Fang Yu had a strange expression and mixed feelings.

But soon, he sobered up. That was the high and mighty Sister Jin, what was he thinking, indulging in wishful thinking!

Knowing one's place and having clear goals is key to climbing higher and extending the road of life further.

"Fang Yu, stay with me for a while, once big sister is stable, we'll go back together."

Qi Xiaojin's tone unexpectedly contained a bit of a plea, her gaze sincere.

Had it been earlier, Fang Yu might have let his thoughts wander again, but now, he was clear-headed.

He waved it off.

"No problem, no problem, I'm free anyway!"

Sitting next to Qi Xiaojin, Fang Yu followed her and the doctors, looking at that bunch of medical equipment that he completely did not understand.

Qi Xiaojin gripped Qi Meng's hand tightly, her eyes slightly reddened.

"Fang Yu, do you know, my sister ended up like this, it's all my fault... I'm to blame... It's all my fault!!"

Qi Xiaojin's other hand was clenched into a fist.

She had been negligent, a moment of complacency and weariness had led to this!

If it weren't for that, how could I have given the Sheepskin Demon the chance to make a move!

If I had discovered it earlier, paid attention sooner, that guy never would have had the chance to hurt the people around me!

Qi Xiaojin's breathing grew increasingly rapid, a coldness intensifying in her eyes.

There won't be a next time! There absolutely won't be!

That intense hostility that welled up from deep within, accumulated from years of post-apocalyptic experience, involuntarily radiated from her body, causing her features to unconsciously contort slightly.

"Sister... Jin?"

With Fang Yu's voice, Qi Xiaojin suddenly snapped back to reality.

She hurriedly reined in her expression, stiffly turning her head to squeeze out a smile towards Fang Yu.

"Fang Yu, what's wrong?"

"Sister Meng's brainwave graph suddenly became very active."

Fang Yu gestured towards the equipment on the side.

Fang Yu couldn't understand it, but Qi Xiaojin, who had received a higher education, could make out part of it.

After summoning a doctor for explanation, the two gained a general understanding.

"So my elder sister is experiencing something intense?"

"To be precise, it should be that she has encountered something in the game, and her cerebral cortex is having an intense reaction to it," the doctor tried to explain, but Qi Xiaojin's face looked a bit unsightly.

She understood what this meant.

Sister Meng's start in the Seeking Demon world probably wasn't smooth.

But she was powerless to help unless she could find out exactly who Sister Meng's character was in that world. Only then could she provide precise assistance. Otherwise, Sister Meng had to rely on herself.

Aside from taking care of Sister Meng's vegetative body in the real world, there was very little Qi Xiaojin could do.

"I... am going to the restroom."

Fang Yu suddenly stood up, clutching his stomach.

Qi Xiaojin just remembered that neither of them had breakfast.

After letting Fang Yu leave, Qi Xiaojin ordered someone to bring breakfast.

She stared at Qi Meng, praying silently.

"Big sister, hold on!"

"Hang in there, that's how you'll survive!"

"The future might be dark, but there are still family members waiting for you, I'm waiting for you..."

...

Restroom.

Fang Yu came out of the restroom looking weak.

Feeling a bit chilled.

Taking a cold shower in the middle of the night was, indeed, a bit life-threatening.

Compared to the strong physique in the game, his real-world body seemed as fragile as a toy.

"Mr. Fang? Is the young lady still in the upstairs ward?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind.

Turning around, it turned out to be the driver, who had just come out of the restroom as well.

Qi Xiaojin's exclusive driver, Fang Yu had seen him several times already.

Every time he saw him, he was wearing sunglasses and a suit, with a stern look.

But this time, he unusually took off his sunglasses, revealing a smile.

That mob boss-like face, awkwardly squeezing out a smile, seemed a bit out of place.

"She's up there, Sister Jin will probably be a while before she's done."

"Is that so."

The driver smiled squinting his eyes:"Then I shall wait downstairs..."

Walking towards Fang Yu, the driver's hand suddenly slipped into his suit pocket.

An inexplicable sense of incongruity surged in Fang Yu's heart.

Fang Yu felt puzzled, yet he didn't stop talking.

"It shouldn't be too long, Sister Jin and I will come downstairs. I hope you can take me back to the complex first... unless Sister Jin has other arrangements."

Hearing this, the driver suddenly stopped, seeming momentarily lost in thought.

"You're both going to ride back together?"

"Yes, unless Sister Jin has other plans, then I would just take a taxi back by myself."

The driver's hand came out of his pocket, chuckling heartily.

"Taking a taxi is expensive, the young lady wouldn't mind me giving you a ride."

"Then I must trouble you, driver."

The driver nodded with a smile, then passed by Fang Yu to head outside.

But just at that moment...

"Wait a moment!"

It was Fang Yu's voice.

The driver didn't turn around, his back to Fang Yu.

"Mr. Fang, what's the matter?"

"What's that in your pocket, driver? Could you take it out and let me have a look?"
