He Has a Sickness that Needs to be Cured - Chapter 5

Xi Ning brought Lin Mian out of the school and found a random restaurant to dine in.

Lin Mian was acting like a frightened rabbit. He used his backpack to cover his face while looking around, hoping that he wouldn’t bump into any acquaintances.

Xi Ning couldn’t help but say, “Are you that unwilling to eat with me?”

XI Ning tossed the menu to Lin Mian while leaning back on the chair and closed his eyes. “I don’t have any appetite. You are free to order anything you want.”

Lin Mian slowly extended out his hand to take the menu while secretly peeking at Xi Ning. Only after seeing that Xi Ning didn’t mind did he start to look at the menu.

Xi Ning was having a conversation with the system at the moment. “So is Song Zhou the ‘right person’?” 

The system was also unsure and spoke in a hesitant tone, “But he is the BUG. How could he be the one that triggers the order from higher-ups? Could it be…”

Could it be that the command from higher-ups was also a BUG? The system was taken aback by this thought itself and didn’t dare to have further thoughts, so it quickly changed the subject. “But master’s heart rate and anticipation value have risen sharply just now. The secretion of gastric acid in the stomach has also increased compared to a few hours ago, and it seems to have relieved some of the symptoms of anorexia for a short time, therefore master’s judgment is reasonable and the possibility of having guessed correctly is around 90%……”

Xi Ning was in a good mood, there was a smirk on his face. “We can just test it out again to find out.” 

Xi Ning thought that he would have to put a lot more effort to find this “right person”, but he didn’t expect it to be this effortlessly. After he transfers to the first class, Song Zhou is going to be my tool for eating. 

He had moved the plot back to its intended path just now, so the system awarded him 2 mission points. At 100 mission points he can exchange for an antidote to cure the illness but it would only last for an hour.

Rewards also came along with punishments. If the system detected signs of the plot changing again, his illness would worsen for 12 hours as punishment.

With such an inhuman reward and punishment system. Xi Ning had to endure the urge to swear when he first saw it.

With this comparison, of course he prefers Song Zhou over it.

“These are your meals. Everything has been served. Please enjoy it.”

The waiter was a beta. He left after serving them with a bowl of egg fried rice and a bowl of rice topped with crayfish. Lin Mian pulled the egg fried rice towards himself and whispered, “Uh…you haven’t eaten anything right? I just simply ordered one of the meal sets. If you don’t like it, it’s okay, I’ll pay for it……”

“Didn’t I say that it would be my treat?” Xi Ning exchanged the plates in front of two of them and reached out for the spoon. “I’ve a poor appetite recently so I don’t want to eat something heavy.”

The egg fried rice is lightly cooked with eggs and chopped green onions, and it seems to be the cheapest meal in this restaurant.

Xi Ning was not lying. He was feeling uncomfortable now, but he couldn’t eat anything at all, so he could only force himself to try out the light-flavored egg fried rice.

Lin Mian’s eyes wide in shock when he saw Xi Ning start to eat the egg fried rice. He wanted to say something but, in the end, he couldn’t.

The taste of the egg fried rice was okay. Xi Ning could taste it, but his body was resisting it and made him feel like he was chewing on tree bark. He forced himself to eat half of it and then put down the spoon with a frown.

This illness did not ease off at all. It should at least increase gradually from low, medium, to high levels. The people in the Three Thousand Worlds Bureau were really not afraid that he would starve to death in this world.

The system sensed Xi Ning’s thoughts and quickly explained, “We care for every employee. Even if the master does not eat or drink for a month, nutrients will be injected directly into the master’s body. So master you don’t have to worry about it!”

Xi Ning was speechless for a moment and ignored the system.
