The food in the hospital was delicious. Su Xi ate two bowls of rice, came back and took a nap. When she woke up and saw that her phone was still on, she remembered to play the game.
She was already feeling bored and was about to delete this crappy game, but she suddenly paused.
It was already late at night in the game. The little man who had been busy during the day was lying motionless on the hard bed. The thin quilt could not block the cold wind, and the door panel was whistling.
Why didn’t he move–?
Su Xi poked him, and he turned over, his skin even paler than during the day, looking completely bloodless.
What happened?
No way, what a crappy game, the protagonist is sleeping in front of me?
But Su Xi soon discovered why. The life bar in the upper left corner was only 30% blood red, and the stamina bar had dropped from 10% during the day to 1%, almost nothing.
Su Xi suddenly panicked.
The game character is sick? Has a fever?!
He was so tired and exhausted during the day, but he was still doing so much work while he was wet all over. How could he not collapse?
Su Xi suddenly felt that this crappy game was actually quite logical. She watched the life bar in the upper left corner decrease little by little and felt anxious. The game hadn’t even started yet and the protagonist was going to die. This little prince is too fragile!
She couldn’t help but poke left and right, trying to see if there were any hidden cold medicines or something, but after searching through all the drawers and cabinets in the house, she found nothing. She did see two worn, thin robes that were washed white in the closet.
This prince was too poor.
Su Xi was silent for a moment, opened the map, and tried to look somewhere else, but just like in the morning, the map had not been unlocked yet. However, there was a place with lights on, which should be the courtyard that had been unlocked.
She quickly clicked on it and found that it was a small bridge, flowing water, rockery and winding corridors, a very unique and wealthy courtyard, completely different from the woodshed where the protagonist lived. The candlelight and lanterns in the courtyard were very bright, and the conversation between two servants could be heard.
“That bast**d, the Second Young Master taught him a lesson during the day! Isn’t he a sick ghost? We also let him soak in the freezing cold pool for a while, and send him to death sooner, which can be considered as a good deed!”
“I say, you better be careful. Although this bast**d is a bast**d, seeing how hard he resisted the butler’s whip today, I’m afraid he will turn things around in the future.”
“Turn over? Him? Pah, I don’t think he’ll be able to turn over in his life!”
Long paragraphs of text appeared on the interface, and Su Xi’s face twitched. What the hell, who are these two servants who gossip behind the scenes? It turns out that the protagonist was wet all over and almost caught a cold today, it was them who caused it.
If my game fails, it’s also their fault!
Su Xi was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to move over to see who the two people were, but the map had not been unlocked yet, so she couldn’t see them and had to return to the woodshed in disappointment.
After hearing the two men teasing and disrespecting the protagonist, Su Xi went back and saw the little game man lying on the bed with a face as pale as paper, his limbs curled up because of the cold, huddled in the corner, as if he had lost consciousness. She couldn’t help but feel a little sympathy and guilt for her own little game man.
Logically speaking, she should have taken good care of the game man during the day. There should be some hidden way to stop him from continuing to force himself to work, so that he would not get sick and have a fever now.
Out of guilt, Su Xi continued to search for medicine in the house.
But still could not find it.
She couldn’t help but poke the villain again.
Just then, a white bubble appeared on top of her little man’s head.
“Water.”
Lu Huan opened his dry and pale lips, his throat was burning because of the fever.
He forced his eyes open and pressed the back of his hands on his eye sockets. After a moment, he tried his best to support himself and sat up. When he got out of bed, he was exhausted and rolled down.
Su Xi tried to help him, but her finger poked the little man’s back, causing Lu Huan to fall to the ground.
Su Xi: “…”
Su Xi didn’t dare to move again, and the little man in the game obviously didn’t know that there was an external force, and just thought that he was sick and weak.
He got up and staggered to the windowsill.
The interface pops up: “Do you want to use 3 gold coins to exchange for the water storage location?”
Damn it – Su Xi was so furious that she could find it herself by deleting this interface.
Water, water, water! Hurry up and pour some water! She knew this was her mission, so she quickly looked for water in the house. Fortunately, she remembered that Lu Huan had fetched water during the day. Sure enough, there was a bucket in the corner, and the teapot on the windowsill was empty. She tried to drag the bucket –
Oh shit, it got dragged!
Su Xi was delighted, thinking that she was about to find out how to play the game, she dragged the bucket to the teapot with great effort and poured water into it.
The moment the water was poured into it, the system popped up a message:
“Congratulations on receiving the 5 gold coins reward. Since the task was relatively simple, you will receive 0 points. Please continue to work hard and assist the protagonist in achieving the path of an emperor in five aspects: skills, interpersonal relationships, appearance, physical fitness, and the main storyline. Every 10 points you receive can be exchanged for a koi.”
What rewards?
Koi?
Su Xi didn’t take it seriously at this time, thinking it was just nonsense in the game.
She was still thinking about the water problem.
Although it was cold water, it should be the spring water that Lu Huan had fetched during the day. It was drinkable, but a little chilly.
But making a sick person drink ice water seemed so pitiful no matter how you looked at it.
While Su Xi was thinking about how to boil water in the game, Lu Huan was stunned. He picked up the simple teapot, took two sips, and after relieving the burning sensation in his throat, he slowly put the teapot back to its original position.
What happened?
Lu Huan stared at his teapot suspiciously.
He clearly remembered that because of Lu Wenxiu’s provocation, he felt exhausted after fetching water from the mountain three miles away. He just lay down to rest for a while and did not pour water into the teapot.
But now, how come there was water in the teapot?
