When Xiao Chen entered the ward, she was somewhat dazed.
Liu Rulan also looked worried: "I'll go and call a doctor for you."
"No, really no need."
Xiao He stubbornly sat up, then cleared his throat with difficulty and said in an extremely sincere tone, "Now that I see you, Sister Liu, and Xiao Chen, I feel like I've recovered a lot."
Just kidding, actually he has a terrible headache right now.
But there was no other way; Xiao He really wanted to be lucky enough to get a stroke of luck from the Emperor of Luck.
After all, he's been so unlucky lately. According to the law of conservation of luck, he should be able to draw something good, right?
Liu Rulan: ...
At this moment, the woman looked at Xiao He with a mixture of doubt, disdain, speechlessness, and worry.
Seeing this expression, if Xiao He hadn't been forcing himself to stay healthy, he would have applauded Sister Liu and praised her extensively, commending her for her textbook-perfect performance.
However, Xiao He could not.
Despite saying he was much better, his face was terribly pale, and Liu Rulan was really worried that Xiao He would be burned into a madman.
"Sigh, I think I'll go call the doctor." Liu Rulan sighed and turned to look at Xiao Chen. "Keep an eye on him. I have a feeling he's not behaving himself after waking up tonight."
Xiao He: ...
I'm really fine! Thank you.
However, Xiao He did not stop Liu Rulan from leaving.
Sister Liu is too perceptive, making it difficult for him to operate. If only the assistant is left here, his situation will be much easier.
After giving Xiao Chen a few words of advice, Liu Rulan turned and left the ward, leaving only Xiao He and Xiao Chen inside.
Xiao He's eyes were shining when he looked at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen was quick to ask, "Brother Xiao, is there anything you need me to do?"
"Go wash your hands first."
As usual, draw a card and wash your hands; I'm a lucky winner!
When Xiao Ge told him to wash his hands, Xiao Chen was puzzled for a moment, but he obediently did so, washed his hands in the bathroom next door, and sat down on the bed again.
"Come on, let's shake hands."
Xiao He grasped Xiao Chen's hand and shook it up and down: "Xiao Chen, whether I get better or not depends entirely on you!"
Xiao Chen: "?"
If they weren't both male, and if Xiao Ge and he weren't heterosexual, this action would truly resemble groping.
Xiao Chen didn't understand, but he wouldn't ask unnecessarily. He simply acted as a very competent tool: ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) "Yeah, Brother Xiao, you'll be fine soon."
Xiao He didn't speak again, but simply fixed his gaze on a certain spot.
The lottery button there was emitting a mysterious, ethereal blue glow.
As a rudimentary panel system that Xiao He had complained about countless times, its advanced lottery was unsurprisingly the same as the previous lottery button. In the center of the empty interface, there was only a lottery button. As for other details and introductions, or even the contents of the prize pool, there was naturally none.
"System? System? Has it lost its direction?"
Xiao He first asked tentatively.
【System notification: The premium prize pool does not include prizes from other prize pools and there is no targeted selection.】
Xiao He curled his lips into a smirk.
Great, just as I expected, blind draw.
This is understandable, though. Anything you get from drawing with a million points, no matter how bad, will definitely be a good item. You can't expect to get something like a "thank you for your patronage" reward that's dispensable to Xiao He right now, like a ten-day lifespan bonus.
That's a million points! Some other hosts might not be able to accumulate that many points in their entire lives!
After all, Xiao He believed that he had accumulated "crime points" very quickly. Even the most heinous criminals would not be able to keep up with killing and arson every day, and their deeds would not spread so quickly, let alone maintain their popularity at all times, and ensure that their criminal influence could continue to spread to other new people.
As for Xiao He, ever since he encountered the system bug, his criminal influence has become, in a sense, tied to his fame. Therefore, as Xiao He's fame has grown, his criminal influence has also increased, attracting a constant stream of new fans, and now it has even spread overseas.
If his "achievements" were placed among the hosts of other parallel worlds, he would at least be an extremist armed criminal who wiped out a city, or a criminal boss who stirred up trouble in other small countries.
But right now, he's just an ordinary actor.
Xiao He was still very satisfied.
His life may have been turned upside down by this system, but it didn't completely spiral out of control, trapping him in an inescapable cage.
Of course, if it could bring some convenience to his current life, or even a little bit of a cheat code, Xiao He wouldn't mind.
He clasped his hands together, devoutly bowing to Xiao Chen and the system panel in front of him, and muttered to himself—
"Please, give me an awesome prize!"
Ideally, it should be something that can change one's constitution...
Oh right, altering his brain would also work, making him smarter so he might be able to swindle the system's rewards later and turn the system into his workhorse...
And another thing, if all else fails, how about something simple and unpretentious, like having an extraordinary photographic memory? That's photographic memory! Wouldn't that make memorizing lines and learning new skills twice as effective?
Finally... any advanced skill will do, any skill will do, but preferably one related to acting...
Xiao He muttered to himself, listing all the wishes he could think of, attempting to influence the system with his sincerity.
Finally, amidst expectant gazes, Xiao He pressed the lottery button from afar—
Even the highest prize pool, even a lottery worth one million points, doesn't have any special effects or lighting when the prize pops up. It's as if you've simply clicked on a webpage and a pop-up window appears at lightning speed, without any build-up or any special effects. It's just the simplest and most direct presentation.
【Congratulations on obtaining "Recovery+", automatically redeemed】
【Recovery+ Details: Personal recovery abilities are permanently enhanced.】
Xiao He: ? What? What's wrong with your system? Why is the name of the prize so perfunctory!
Xiao He then suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Wait, restore?
Could it be—
The next moment, an invisible force suddenly surged through Xiao He's entire body. His throat, which had been aching slightly, suddenly relaxed, as if it had finally been freed from its shackles. Even his breathing became easier.
Xiao He's headache and fever from his illness had completely disappeared, replaced by his best physical condition ever. He felt so relaxed that he could run a marathon at any moment, and his brain became incredibly agile because of this moment of ease.
Headaches, sore throats, body aches, weakness, discomfort, fragility... all disappeared!
Xiao He suppressed his excitement, hugged Xiao Chen tightly, and grinned widely: "Haha, thank you, Xiao Chen! I'm really feeling much better now!"
Then Xiao He twisted his arm and rotated his wrist a few times, and found that some of the hidden injuries he had sustained while filming had all disappeared.
Recently, due to repeated filming of high-intensity action scenes, Xiao He's back injury has become particularly serious, and occupational diseases such as tenosynovitis and frozen shoulder have also begun to appear.
And now, they're all gone.
Not only that, Xiao He's spirits have also recovered to their best state. The recent high-intensity work and illness had left him feeling very weak and his mind was foggy and his thinking was particularly sluggish. But now, he no longer has any of these negative feelings!
Xiao He turned his neck, feeling refreshed and relaxed like never before.
So when Liu Rulan arrived with the doctor, they saw a spirited Xiao He and a bewildered Xiao Chen.
Liu Rulan: ...
doctor:......
Liu Rulan turned to the doctor and said with a serious expression, "Doctor, could you please examine his head again?"
