Chapter 98 Innocent Words
Wang Yongzhu never had much hope to begin with, merely asking out of curiosity. Still, hearing Xiao Tiantian’s response, she couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.
However, these days, after being influenced by Old Granny Zhang and due to the constraints of living conditions, Wang Yongzhu, who used to be careless with money and never asked the price when buying things, had now learned to be frugal.
Adopting the principle of asking for the sky and paying on the spot, she blurted out, "So when can the System be opened to learn medical techniques? How many points do I still need? Xiao Tiantian, look, in this vast universe, you found me, which proves we have a fate! With such a grand fate, why be so stingy? Besides, look at me, stuck in such a backwards era with medical studies still so far off in the future, how am I to ensure my own safety?"
"Xiao Tiantian, you say you’re a legitimate system. Well, I’m bound to you, completing tasks and helping you collect data. Roughly speaking, am I not considered your employee? In my time, employees all had social and housing security. Following such an advanced system as you, shouldn’t I at least have some assurance of my life? Is this what a legitimate system does? Who are your superiors? No, that’s not what you call them. Is it Main God or Main Brain? I want to complain! I want to protest!"
The Xiao Tiantian system probably never encountered a host like this, and after a burst of static "caz ~ caz~~",
It stuttered, "Host...our system has...has never encountered such...such a complaint before. The system has already...already appealed to the upper Main Brain on behalf of the host. The Main Brain, after a strict calculation based on the era of the host’s world, has agreed to relax the mission requirements. If the host completes all the initial tasks of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, the medical assistance function will be unlocked, and the mall will also stock various medicines! Please, host, do your best!"
Wang Yongzhu didn’t expect such a maneuver was possible, indeed, even Xiao Tiantian has someone, err, a system above her!
Still, she managed to gain some benefits; otherwise, without any assurance for her life, living in constant worry was no way to live.
In her heart, she firmly resolved to focus on completing more tasks, not only for herself but also for her family. If her eldest brother could be saved, with enough tasks done and points accumulated, she believed that she could exchange for medicine that could cure him.
Thinking thus, she calculated her points. She already had six surplus points, and as long as she could cultivate the Yellow Pine Mushrooms, she should be able to get at least 10 points. All she needed to do was to strive to complete the task of earning some private money. She figured that once the four basic tasks were completed, unlocking the medical assistance function shouldn’t be a problem.
With this, Wang Yongzhu was even more restless and couldn’t sleep, wishing she could go to the woodshed right then to check on the Yellow Pine Mushrooms pinned with her hopes.
