"Magic mirror, magic mirror, has Xixi ever liked me?"
"No."
"Not even a little bit? Not even for a moment?"
"No."
"That can't be right. If Xixi really doesn't like me, why does she always ask me to order takeout for her? Why doesn't she ask other guys to order takeout for her?"
"...Because you're the easiest to fool."
......
Inside a university dormitory, a disheveled young man stared blankly at the mirror in front of him.
The mirror was only about the size of two palms, entirely gray in color, with a particularly blurry surface.
It's just that the answers the mirror gave clearly didn't match what the young man wanted to hear.
To the point where the young man's face turned deathly pale, feeling utterly hopeless.
"Xixi..."
The young man's expression was pained, his emotions fluctuating violently.
He never imagined that the Xixi he had sincerely devoted himself to was actually deceiving him.
Right at that moment.
The young man suddenly clutched his chest.
"Medicine! Medicine!"
The young man quickly looked toward the special medicine placed on the table.
The young man had suffered from heart disease since childhood and needed to rely on special medicine every month to stay alive.
However, when the young man struggled to get the special medicine, he discovered that the medicine inside was already finished.
"I forgot... this month's money for buying the special medicine was used to buy Xixi a bag she liked..."
The young man slumped over the table, feeling his consciousness growing increasingly blurry.
Soon, he completely lost all movement.
No one knew how much time had passed.
The young man's finger suddenly twitched.
Then, his eyes snapped open.
"I'm not dead?"
Su Yuan gasped for breath.
His last memory was of crossing a crosswalk when a truck came speeding toward him.
Then he felt himself flying through the air.
And then, it was now.
"Where is this?"
Su Yuan tried hard to calm his mind.
He had been hit by such a large truck.
Even if he wasn't dead, he should be in intensive care right now, or at the very least in a hospital.
But this place?
Su Yuan quickly observed his surroundings.
"Hmm?"
Su Yuan felt a roaring sensation in his mind.
A flood of memories kept pouring out.
Several minutes later.
Su Yuan took a deep breath.
"So I've transmigrated."
Su Yuan thought silently to himself.
By receiving the original body's memories, he roughly understood his current situation.
This world was extremely similar to the "Earth" before his transmigration, even the history and culture were almost the same.
The city where the original body lived was called Magic City, the most economically prosperous city in Xia Country.
......
The original body was also named Su Yuan, coming from a remote city in Xia Country, having grown up in an orphanage.
After working hard for three years in high school, he finally got into an ordinary university in Magic City.
Currently, it was summer vacation of his second year, about to start his third year.
Although he had no parental support, the original body had been hardworking and resilient since childhood, taking on part-time jobs whenever he had time, plus student grants and other support.
He could still manage to get by at school.
Until one chance opportunity allowed the original body to meet his crush, the goddess Zhao Xixi.
Originally, the original body hadn't thought much of it—he and Zhao Xixi were completely from different worlds.
But unexpectedly, the goddess Zhao Xixi initiated conversations with him, and they successfully exchanged contact information.
From then on, the original body often heard Zhao Xixi "complaining" to him.
Things like being hungry but having no money to eat, or seeing a bag she wanted but couldn't bring herself to buy it...
Of course, the original body wouldn't refuse the goddess's difficulties. In just a few months, he emptied all the savings he had accumulated from years of part-time work to support the goddess.
To the point where he now had no money to buy his special medicine.
"You really shouldn't be a simp..."
Su Yuan's lips twitched slightly, not knowing what to say.
As an observer, all of the original body's behaviors seemed to him like those of a simp who had licked his way to having nothing left.
And also...
Su Yuan's gaze fell on the gray mirror on the table.
This mirror was something the original body had picked up on an antique street some time ago.
At the time, this mirror had been casually discarded by the roadside.
The original body, following the principle of not wasting things, casually picked it up and brought it back.
He brought this mirror back to the dormitory and casually placed it in a corner of the table to collect dust.
Until today, when Zhao Xixi deleted his contact information, the original body was heartbroken and saw the mirror in the corner.
So he casually picked it up.
Originally, the original body hadn't taken it seriously either, just treating the mirror as someone to confide in, expressing his feelings for the goddess.
Unexpectedly, after the original body asked the question "Why did Xixi delete me?"
The originally lifeless mirror's surface actually rippled, then text began to appear—
"Because you're out of money."
At first, the original body was quite frightened.
But after repeated testing, he discovered that this mirror seemed to answer his questions.
So he poured out all the accumulated questions about the goddess Xixi that he had stored up.
The result was naturally more than he could bear—the shock caused his emotions to fluctuate violently, triggering a heart attack, and he had no special medicine.
"A mirror that can answer any question?"
Su Yuan examined the gray mirror with a serious expression.
If it could really answer any question, then the value of this mirror... would be absolutely immeasurable.
"Should I try it?"
Su Yuan considered for a moment, then decided to try it himself, to see if this mirror could really answer any question.
"What should I ask?"
Su Yuan pondered, his gaze glancing at the special medicine bottle nearby.
Of course, it was empty inside.
Then he touched his own chest.
Faintly feeling his heart struggling to beat.
Clearly, when Su Yuan transmigrated over.
He had also inherited the original body's heart disease.
"How can I cure my heart disease?"
Su Yuan stared at the gray mirror's surface and asked in a low voice.
Buzz~ The gray mirror's surface rippled with multiple layers of waves.
Then, lines of text began to appear.
[Method one: Go to Magic City Zhongshan Hospital, have Lu Fusheng perform heart healing surgery on you, then recuperate in the special ward of Zhongshan Hospital for two months afterward to be cured]
[Method two: Go to the Fourth Research Institute in Imperial Capital, take the gene potion that was just produced there, then recuperate for one month afterward to be cured]
[Method three: Ninety thousand meters underground in the Arctic, there is a drop of earth milk liquid, consuming it can completely transform your body, curing...]
......
Su Yuan watched as text kept appearing on the blurry, hazy mirror surface.
He felt both shocked and exceptionally speechless.
First was method one—going to Magic City Zhongshan Hospital.
What kind of place was Magic City Zhongshan Hospital? It was one of the best hospitals in all of Xia Country, even in the entire world, where appointments were notoriously hard to get. For Su Yuan to go there to treat his heart disease?
Completely unrealistic.
And Lu Fusheng... Su Yuan browsed through the original body's memories—this person was the deputy director of Zhongshan Hospital and had long stopped performing surgeries personally.
As for method two... While method one was something Su Yuan couldn't achieve, he could at least understand it.
But method two? The Fourth Research Institute? Gene potion? Su Yuan had never even heard of these.
Even if they really existed, they weren't something an ordinary person like Su Yuan could hope to access.
The hundreds of methods that followed were even more far-fetched than method two.
They simply weren't things Su Yuan could accomplish.
......
Gathering his thoughts.
Su Yuan looked back at the gray mirror.
"How can I cure my heart disease?"
"Prerequisite: Something I can easily accomplish."
After thinking for a while, Su Yuan asked another question.
It was still about how to cure his heart disease, but with the added prerequisite.
Something he could easily accomplish.
Buzz~ The mirror surface became blurry and hazy, and soon text began to appear again.
[Perform the following movements... Do these movements for half an hour every day, and after three months, you will be cured]
.....
"It really exists?"
Su Yuan's heart shook, and he immediately looked at the series of movements given by the gray mirror.
The movements were slightly complex, requiring movement of joints and bones throughout the body, but they weren't difficult for Su Yuan.
Soon.
Half an hour passed.
Su Yuan strictly followed the gray mirror's requirements and completed the set of movements.
Since it was currently summer vacation, the entire dormitory building was empty, so even if he made some noise, it didn't attract any attention.
Su Yuan had specifically applied to stay on campus to make part-time work more convenient.
"Whew!"
Su Yuan breathed slightly heavily, with a bit of sweat on his skin.
But he faintly felt that his heart had become somewhat lighter, even beating more briskly.
"It works!"
Su Yuan felt ecstatic.
Ever since learning that he had inherited the original body's heart disease.
Su Yuan had been worried about when this disease might flare up again.
But now?
According to the method given by the gray mirror, he only needed to practice this set of movements for half an hour every day for the next three months to be completely cured!
"It seems this mirror really can answer any question."
Su Yuan composed himself.
At least the set of movements given by the gray mirror was something he had never heard of in the original body's memories.
Just by relying on a set of movements, it could cure heart disease?
If this got out, it would be enough to cause shockwaves throughout the global medical industry.
"Can answer any question..."
Su Yuan remained silent for a while, his eyes revealing a peculiar light.
Then, Su Yuan asked his next question.
"How can one achieve immortality?"
