At this moment, Chen Yi looked at the author’s profile and couldn’t help but feel a little excited!
“It’s not in vain for me to stay up all night writing after all! I am dog-tired! After leveling up, the difficulty of obtaining new exchange benefits has increased by more than a tiny bit! Fortunately, this novel already has the original text, so it’s just a matter of modifying it. Otherwise, even if you threaten to kill me, I won’t be able to get 2.4 million words out in six days!”
This wasn’t an exaggeration, but a fact. Chen Yi had used almost all of the 4 million words in the previous draft, that’s how he completed his novel with 2.4 million words! But it was so tough!
Chen Yi took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and was ready to choose what he wanted to exchange for immediately. However, he was stunned for a moment.
It would be better for him to ask Salted Fish about the changes in his level first. He had leveled from L 1 to L 3. As for the exchange benefits, he wanted to know if there were any changes.
Salted Fish said that the conditions for the exchange of benefits had become more lenient. Of course, before L 5, wish points could only be exchanged for knowledge and skills. This was why during his exchange of benefits, the ‘deluxe version of Chinese medical skills’ was available.
L 1’s version only had medical skills and basic techniques, but L 3 included both medical skills as well as a series of related knowledge and skills. Chinese medicine had different categories after all.
So after leveling, the skill was more versatile. After understanding it clearly, Chen Yi chose to exchange it immediately.
Remembering his experience during the previous exchange, Chen Yi quickly ran to the bed. But before he could lie down properly, an electric current suddenly pierced into his head, followed by a stabbing pain all over his body!
“D*mn it! Can’t you…”
‘Be just a little slower!’
Before he could finish his sentence, Chen Yi had already fainted. His face smashed into the pillow with a ‘dong’ sound. It was quite a commotion.
Fortunately, he fainted first and could not feel anything. Otherwise, Chen Yi would have been in pain for a while!
…
Just like that, the sky was dark. After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Chen Yi, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes.
The reason why he woke up so suddenly was that he felt it was slightly difficult to breathe. He was about to suffocate to death!
Then, he used his hand to touch his nose, causing a burst of soreness.
Hiss… he knew it! He had smashed his face down directly! Couldn’t they be a little more humane? At least don’t let him have his face smashed down! Did they know how sore his nose was?
Fortunately, the soreness of his nose made Chen Yi quickly come back to his senses. “Am I awake now?”
His vision returned. He used his hands to tousle his hair, got up to wash his face, and then looked at the time.
“It’s only four o’clock in the afternoon…”
It was quite fast this time. He had exchanged for benefits at noon, and it was done in less than three hours!
Could it really have something to do with his physical fitness?
Chen Yi suppressed his speculation. The most important thing at the moment was not to be curious about the duration of the side effects, but the money!
“There’s still time!”
He muttered to himself, picked up the “Publicity” flyer on the table, and dialed the contact number on it. The call should be connected soon.
However, he dialed several times, but no one picked up. Chen Yi frowned. No way, this couldn’t be an unassigned number, right?
“F*ck, I’m calling for the last time. It’s up to you whether you pick up or not!” the irascible Chen Yi exhaled, calling for the last time.
This time, someone finally picked up the call. They did not pick up immediately, but picked up when Chen Yi was about to hang up! At the very least, the call was connected. He heaved a sigh of relief.
A male voice sounded on the other end of the line. His voice sounded exhausted and weary as if he had a terminal illness, “Hello? Who is this?”
Hearing this voice, Chen Yi felt uncomfortable, “Hello, is this Zhang Shi?”
Chen Yi tried to make his voice sound more mature and steady.
“Yes, I’m him,” the man did not deny it, “May I know who is this? Is there something I can help you with?”
“I’m a doctor. I just saw the list you sent about finding a godly doctor. I think I should be…” Chen Yi tried his best to organize his words.
However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the voice on the other end of the phone. “I understand. Thank you… But there’s no need for that anymore.”
The man’s voice was hoarse, and Chen Yi’s mind went blank.
What the h*ll? What was going on? Why was there no need for that anymore? Was he too late? Did Zhang Shi’s daughter die?
Chen Yi took a deep breath in disbelief. He clearly raced against time to be as fast as he could! Couldn’t this…
Suddenly, he felt like crying.
Suppressing his damnable mood, the corners of Chen Yi’s mouth twitched, but he still asked in a low voice, “Er… Mr. Zhang, may I take the liberty to ask if your daughter…”
“No! Let’s not talk about this anymore!” Zhang Shi’s voice was filled with rage and helplessness, “I don’t think that there’s any need to continue torturing her… What kind of strange illness is this that caused my daughter to suffer in such a manner! My wife and I are devoted to doing good deeds, and we have never done anything outrageous. But why is it that… her condition has been a little worse recently, and I have tried everything possible, but I have never thought of giving up!”
“But… things are the way it is now. I’m sorry, I don’t have the time to think about other things right now. I just want to spend more time with my daughter!”
After saying that, Zhang Shi was about to hang up the phone.
“Wait! Don’t hang up!”
How could Chen Yi, who had seized the opportunity, let him hang up the phone just like that?
He hurriedly said, “Mr. Zhang, I know that your daughter’s situation isn’t optimistic. You have seen a lot of so-called godly doctors recently, and each time, you are filled with hope and disappointment. I also know that you are tired of dealing with the people who called… but! You just said that your daughter is not dead! So, as long as she is not dead, I can save her. Why do you want to give up?”
Chen Yi’s tone was not good and he even sounded a little arrogant.
The man on the other side of the phone was obviously silent, then he sneered, “Brother, do you know how arrogant you sound? Do you know what is called overestimating yourself? Do you know how many diseases there are in the world that can not be cured just because you say so? What right do you have to say that you can save my daughter? I don’t wish for anything to happen to my daughter, and I don’t want to give up either. But… young man, can you handle your own words?”
Zhang Shi sneered, Chen Yi’s eyes darkened, “I know what I should know. Whether I’m arrogant or not is not up to you. Besides, I said I could save her, and that’s why I’m so cocky! I can handle what I say! I have the ability to keep her alive. Alive and well!”
Someone that had the ability to keep her alive, wasn’t that what Zhang Shi wanted?
He exhaled, once again silent, “Brother, I admire your arrogance, in fact… everyone who called me assured me that my daughter can be cured! But in the end? Which one of them didn’t disappoint me? I can’t afford another round of disappointment anymore. So I’m sorry….”
