Learn one small skill every day

"In which subjects are you roughly lacking?"

Hu Muyao did not answer immediately. He glanced at Bai Miao slightly, then turned his head back.

"I just can't bring myself to do math anymore."

"That's easy, I can teach you."

Hu Muyao scored around 100 points in math last time. Bai Miao is quite confident that he can improve by 20 points to over 130.

"It'll be a lot of trouble..."

"No trouble at all, I guarantee you'll learn it."

"……Thanks."

Hu Muyao kept her head down, and the setting sun outside the car window cast the shadows of the window frame onto her face.

In the end, Bai Miao still couldn't find a new topic.

The two parted ways in silence at the corner of the stairwell.

After hurriedly preparing dinner, Hu Muyao rushed to the Second Municipal Hospital. After finishing dinner, he immediately picked up his books and began reviewing again.

She chose history, politics, and geography as her subjects, so repeated memorization and recitation were essential.

However, the lights in the hospital need to be turned off sooner or later. Around 10 p.m., the other patients in the ward want to rest.

Hu Muyao had no choice but to put down his book and lean against the corner of the wall to doze off.

When a doctor who was making rounds at night saw Hu Muyao like this, he advised her that she could go home and rest at night, as there were doctors and nurses there and there would be no problem.

But Hu Muyao stubbornly chose to stay in the hospital.

In a daze, Hu Muyao didn't know when he had fallen asleep. He stood up groggily and found that a door had appeared on the wall opposite his grandmother's bed.

A door entirely carved from peach wood.

The exaggerated reliefs on it impressed Hu Muyao with their exquisite craftsmanship.

But who put it here? Why didn't I notice anything?

With curiosity, Hu Muyao gently stroked the wooden door.

The next moment, she found herself in a completely new world.

Chapter 87 Showdown

Sometimes things can change in an instant.

Yesterday, Bai Miao saw Hu Muyao and her grandmother eating food they brought from home in a shared ward. But when he arrived today, he saw several doctors, some of whom were almost bald, surrounding Hu Muyao's grandmother's bedside, seemingly planning to move her to a private room.

A doctor's hair is inversely proportional to his medical skills; these doctors must be at least attending physicians.

Not only was Bai Miao stunned in front of the ward, but the family in the next bed was also stunned.

They never imagined that the seemingly poor grandfather and grandson would be treated this way.

The hospital explained that it needs to find specific cases to treat each year, which can bring certain publicity benefits to the hospital.

Patients naturally selected as special cases will receive free treatment and the best medical care.

There are many examples on TV of people traveling thousands of miles for medical treatment and recovering their health under the care of certain hospitals.

So Grandma Hu Muyao quickly accepted it, and looking at Bai Miao, she kept saying that she was really lucky.

But Bai Miao quickly realized why Hu Muyao's family's situation had changed so drastically.

Hu Muyao became the one knocking on the door, and it seemed that he was highly valued within the organization.

Since I have personally examined Grandma Hu Muyao's condition, it is impossible for her to be selected as a specific case.

However, there is also the possibility that hospitals specifically select the easiest cases to cure as special cases, and the better the patient's condition after discharge, the more it proves the hospital's superior medical skills.

However, hospitals like the Second Municipal Hospital do not seem to have fallen to such a wretched state.

In the single ward, Hu Muyao had his own table and a bed for his caregiver to sleep on.

The room was incredibly quiet; the noise from outside the hallway had absolutely no effect on it.

After examining Grandma Hu Muyao's condition with smiles on their faces, the doctors left under the pretext of attending a meeting.

Bai Miao's mental strength was sufficient to allow him to hear the doctors' conversation from a great distance.

"The patient's condition, which the dean specifically emphasized, seems to be fine. Should we observe him for a few more days?"

"Let's do another full check-up tomorrow. If everything is fine, we can discharge her. We can't keep the old lady here indefinitely. Didn't you see that other girl is studying for her senior year of high school? Don't cause her any more trouble."

"So why does the dean want us to pay special attention to this?"

"Just listen to what the boss says. You should be applying for a professional title this year, right?"

"You're right, this job isn't tiring, so I guess I still came out ahead."

Hu Muyao was reading somewhat absentmindedly when Bai Miao spoke up, "Things will get better eventually, won't they?"

Hu Muyao gave a soft "hmm": "I didn't expect to be so lucky..."

"Xiao Miao, life is full of ups and downs. Who could have imagined we'd be so lucky yesterday?"

The old man seemed genuinely happy because Hu Muyao no longer needed to run around every day, nor did he need to nap against the wall at night.

"I think you'll be able to be discharged from the hospital soon."

"Thank you for your kind words."

Bai Miao did not ask the officials about Hu Muyao. The officials knew where he lived and naturally knew about Hu Muyao's background.

Since the other party hasn't taken the initiative to contact me, there's no need to ask.

But Bai Miao was still very curious as to why Hu Muyao had chosen the path of the door knocker.

Was it fate...?

In the evening, the Knockers online plaza became lively again.

It must be an official announcement.

"We have welcomed an Aleph-class holder into our family, working together to protect the lives and property of the people and safeguard our homeland in the face of future trends."

"Holy crap? Has White joined the fray?"

"There won't be any new ones, will there? I've heard from people in other places that there are very few Aleph-level holders. It's a bit much for Jiangcheng to have two, isn't it?"

"@HuMuYao, big shot, what do you want to say?"

Hu Muyao: "Hello..."

Bai Miao was startled when he saw the name.

Another one using their real name online? Does she not know she can use other names or what...?

Moreover, Hu Muyao actually obtained an Aleph-level item again.

Isn't this a bit...?

Bai Miao didn't know what to say, so he quickly opened the file. Hu Muyao also shared the information about the items he had obtained, omitting the descriptions and only leaving the names and effects.

[Joyful Funeral]

[Effect and Skill: Increases maximum stamina by 50%, and can consume 10 stamina points to temporarily increase strength and agility by 5 points]

[Rating: Aleph]

Bai Miao gasped after reading it.

Although the cooldown time of the "Joyful Death" skill was not revealed, it seems that this blood-boosting item could allow players to allocate points to stamina.

Earn a net 50% points bonus.

Moreover, it's easy to imagine that Hu Muyao will inevitably become the most resilient and capable fighter in the team in the future.

No wonder the authorities attach so much importance to it.

But how exactly did she beat the game?

I've seen dungeons that are difficult enough to get Aleph-level items before. Judging from the item names, this dungeon might even be related to Chinese horror customs.

Qingqiu Rebellion Plus Edition?

It's still single-player mode, suitable for beginners.

How did she even manage to beat the game...?

Bai Miao didn't see that Hu Muyao had written about the method to crack the copy.

Aside from that one greeting, she hadn't spoken a word here.

However, the official recruitment information is sent out regularly every day, so she probably took the initiative to contact the organization after seeing the recruitment information and the benefits.

At least our lives can be greatly improved immediately.

"Why don't you post the information about clearing the dungeon? Your information could very well save the life of the next person trying to enter!"

Bai Miao noticed that Zhao Ling was always the most enthusiastic when these kinds of things happened.

Hu Muyao seemed to have been asked a question and remained silent for a long time.

But Zhao Ling continued to question him relentlessly, and eventually he suddenly stopped talking.

I guess the authorities couldn't stand it anymore and issued a warning.

If others find out how to clear Aleph-level stages, what if the person who gets the Aleph-level item next time isn't one of our own?

The authorities must have concerns about this, and they wouldn't share such important information without a reason.

Bai Miao shared that he felt no one could complete Abyss Street as normally as he could, and even if he left through the nun, he would still be branded with the mark of the Healing Cult.

However, White later told me that Abyss Street is a one-time instance and will not appear again. Only by completing Abyss Street can you continue to the later instance storylines.

Little Witch: "This Hu Muyao looks familiar to me, like someone from our school?"

Faced with the little witch's sudden question, Bai Miao subconsciously replied, "How do you know her?"

Once the message was sent, it couldn't be taken back. Bai Miao only realized he had said the wrong thing after seeing the message.
