Mr. System Really is a Good Person (3)
“I’m going to find someone who will trade with me.” Jiang Xiaoman cried miserably, teardrops dripping on her chubby face. “There’s definitely someone who would.”
“!!!” The system immediately said. “No, put it back quickly!”
Jiang Xiaoman pursed her small mouth and said nothing as if she didn’t hear it. She silently said in her heart, “The other party refuses to talk to you, the other party refuses to talk to you, the other party refuses to talk to you.”
“……” The system was helpless, but it couldn’t let Jiang Xiaoman lose the important quest item.
“Host, I can save your uncle.” Jiang Xiaoman walked without looking back, making the system very anxious.
It did not doubt that Jiang Xiaoman would be able to sell it.
Jiang Xiaoman bit her lip and hesitated for a while, then cried while saying, “But I can’t force Mr. System to do it. Grandma said that a melon that is forcefully harvested is not sweet. I’ll go to the village chief, his family is rich. This jade pendant is very important and valuable. I’m sure he will like it.”
“No, no, no, I’m not forced to do it. Host, quickly put it back.” The system hurriedly sent an electronic voice, “Also, money can’t save your uncle’s life. It can make him live a few more days at most, but I can give him a healthy life.”
‘Uncle’ never made an official appearance. In the original scenario, he was just a cannon fodder who didn’t even get named. As long as there were enough points, the system still had some authority to modify the data of a background cannon fodder. In comparison, the penalty for losing a main quest item was much heavier.
It didn’t matter if Jiang Xiaoman didn’t have enough points. It can embezzle some points first and let her pay it back later.
“Really?” Jiang Xiaoman was still very suspicious.
“Really.” The system felt a deep sense of powerlessness. “But I can only help you this time, and I will not help you again!”
Jiang Xiaoman’s tears turned into a smile. “Mister System really is a good person. You will forever be my good friend.”
“……system does not need friends.” Nor was it a good person.
Jiang Xiumei had been in the city hospital for two days.
In the past two days, Jiang Xing entered the intensive care unit twice and only made it out with a single breath left. The doctor told her to mentally prepare herself.
This son of hers had been disobedient ever since he was a child, and wouldn’t listen to her no matter how she tried to discipline him. It was fine even if he was not successful, Jiang Xiumei didn’t expect him to stand out from others. She just wished that he could live a calm and stable life, but now it looked like he wouldn’t even be able to do that.
During the two days his son was in a coma, there were even police officers who came to ask questions. When Jiang Xiumei asked them what happened, they only said that they were still in the middle of an investigation and they would talk about the details later. The only thing known was that Jiang Xing was fighting someone.
Eve the police had gotten involved, how serious was the matter? Jiang Xiumei only felt as if the sky was falling.
Jiang Xiumei looked at her son lying on the hospital bed, gritted her teeth and whispered in a low voice. “I already said that your friends were no good, don’t go hang out with them anymore, but you never listened. How do you like it now? Even your life is almost lost! Are your friends more important than your mother? How can I live in the future?”
Jiang Xiumei was sobbing. “If you won’t open your eyes, I also won’t acknowledge you as my son. I won’t give you a burial. I will burn you and scatter your ashes!”
At this moment, Jiang Xing, who was still half-dead just now and could die at any time suddenly sat up in shock and looked at Jiang Xiumei in horror. “Mom, you’re too cruel. I’m not dead yet but you already want to scatter my ashes.”
Jiang Xiumei froze, then became ecstatic. “Oh my, oh my God— Doctor, Doctor! Come quick, my son is awake!”
