Chapter 476: System Upgrade
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
[Congratulations, Master. The upgrade to System 2.0 is successful. Importing the latest version for you.]
In her mind, the sound of electric currents hummed, bothering Mei Shu even in her dreams, causing her to furrow her brows.
[Calculating the remaining levels of System 1.0 for you.]
[Congratulations, Master. Hacker skills have reached the top level.]
[Congratulations, Master. Culinary skills have reached the intermediate level.]
[Completion of settling the old version levels. Installing the new system for you. Countdown: 3]
Mei Shu’s eyelids moved slightly, and with a light tap of her fingertips, a familiar voice sounded beside her.
“Sister, are you waking up? Can you hear me talking?”
So noisy.
[Countdown: 2]
The sounds of electric currents and voices intertwined in her ears.
Suddenly, her brain experienced a sharp pain.
This pain was no less intense than when Mei Shu tragically died on her sickbed years ago.
“Pain…”
An uncontrollable whimper escaped her lips.
On the monitor, Mei Shu’s heart rate suddenly became extremely abnormal, and the piercing alarm sounded abruptly.
The entire ward fell into panic.
“Doctor, quickly call the doctor!” Someone shouted loudly.
This shout made Mei Shu’s headache unbearable.
She abruptly opened her eyes, and a faint red bloodshot appeared in her eyes.
[Congratulations, Master. Rebirth System 2.0 has been successfully installed for you.]
“Sister! Don’t scare me!” Mei Yan cried, holding Mei Shu’s hand by the bedside, realizing that her palm was already ice-cold.
The bedside was crowded with people, and everyone’s faces were full of panic.
Mei Shu’s pitch-black eyeballs gradually emitted a faint light, her pupils slowly focusing, and her violently beating heart finally calmed down.
“Sister?” Mei Jing tentatively called again.
Mei Shu shifted her gaze to his face and suddenly widened her eyes.
Next to Mei Jing, there was a huge electronic screen that displayed detailed information about Mei Jing. In addition to basic height and weight, it even included columns Mei Shu had only seen in games before: “Affection Level” and “Ending.”
She turned her gaze to the words “Affection Level,” and soon, at the bottom of the electronic screen, five lit-up red hearts appeared.
This represented that Mei Jing’s affection level for her was full.
Mei Shu’s gaze trembled slightly, and after hesitating for a while, it landed on the words “Ending.”
[Reminder: Checking the character’s ending will consume one year of the host’s life. The ending can be changed at important nodes, and each query requires a re-consumption of life. Please be cautious, Master.]
“One year?” Mei Shu lightly uttered these words.
“Sister, what are you saying?” Mei Jing asked in confusion, his face full of worry. “Why hasn’t the doctor come yet?”
Just as he finished shouting, Zhao Yan rushed in with the doctor, saying, “Doctor, please take a look at our Miss quickly. She didn’t feel well just now.”
As soon as he said this, he saw that Mei Shu on the hospital bed had already opened her eyes. Immediately delighted, he said, “Great, Miss, how do you feel now?”
“Let me first give the patient a detailed examination.” The doctor walked to the bedside, standing where Mei Yan was just now, and opened Mei Shu’s eyelids to carefully examine her pupils.
But Mei Shu’s gaze had never left Mei Jing.
Now she understood that the reason she could see so much was due to the expanded functions brought about by the system upgrade.
Just one year of life, as long as she could see Mei Jing’s ending and peacefully grow old, she felt it was worth it.
[System, check Mei Jing’s ending.]
[Yes, Master.]
In her mind, the voice of the system still echoed with an empty reverberation. However, on the electronic screen next to Mei Jing, a red alarm suddenly appeared.
[Warning: Host’s life is less than one year; unable to consume life to check character ending.]
“What did you say?”
Mei Shu inadvertently spoke out.
The doctor had to explain again, “You suffered a head impact, but fortunately, it didn’t cause any bleeding. Feeling dizzy and nauseous is normal recently. You just need to observe and rest in bed for a while.”
“Great, thank you, doctor!” Zhao Yan quickly sent the doctor away with great respect.
Mei Yan and the others returned to Mei Shu’s bedside.
“Sister, you must be hungry. Do you want to eat something first?” Mei Yan asked nervously. “I’ve seen in TV dramas that when patients wake up from a coma, they should drink water. Do you want to drink? I’ve prepared milk, juice, and plain water. Which one do you want?”
“Plain water.” Mei Shu answered calmly.
Her memories began to return at this moment.
She recalled how she lost her memory, how she was deceived by Lu Si and became his girlfriend, and remembered her coming-of-age ceremony. She also recalled the scene where Shen Yuan suddenly turned against her, colluding with her grandmother to slander her.
But none of these were the most important to her.
The crucial issue was that the system actually judged that her remaining lifespan was less than a year?
In other words, if she didn’t change the ending at important nodes, her remaining time to live would be less than a year?
