Chapter 849: Various Experiments
Hearing Xue Ya’s words, Qu Xuan’s heart was filled with sorrow.
The world was so cruel. When a person was about to die, they had to consider where they were going to die so that they would not cause trouble for others. This was the most heartbreaking thing. Even in death, one had to be rational...
‘This world is so cruel to those who are seriously ill.
‘Furthermore, what have I and Xue Ya done wrong?
‘I only want Xue Ya to live, and Xue Ya... Doesn’t even want to live anymore.
‘In the end, she still can’t receive the world’s kindness.’
At that thought, Qu Xuan could not help but hug Xue Ya’s frail body tightly.
Xue Ya could feel the bitterness in the boy’s heart. She wiped her tears away and smiled nonchalantly. Then, she leaned into Qu Xuan’s embrace. Feeling the warmth of his body, Xue Ya felt that her pain had become much lighter...
She could not help but recall her past with Qu Xuan...
The first time she met this senior, she did not have a good impression of him because he looked like a playboy.
Her family was not well-to-do, her parents were divorced, and they had both started their own families. Hence, she had been living a tough life since she was young and did not have the right or the intention to mess with such a person.
Other girls might still be willing to fall in love with a guy like that, feeling like they could have at least a lovely relationship and that they had at least enjoyed each other’s company before. But, this was not the case for Xue Ya. Other girls might still be able to carry on with their lives if they had broken up, but for Xue Ya... Her life might be ruined forever.
In TV serieses, there were many sad characters who came from small cities, only to be completely fooled by a playboy and kicked aside when they no longer had any use.
Hence, from the start, Xue Ya had placed a “PASS” stamp on Qu Xuan’s handsome face.
Initially, she thought that she would not be able to interact with this senior anymore, but fate had played a joke on Xue Ya. Qu Xuan ended up falling in love with her at first sight, and then he pursued her relentlessly, confessing his love for her time and time again.
After all, the human heart was made out of flesh, the same went for Xue Ya as well. She had never been in a relationship since she was young, so unknowingly, she was moved by his advances...
However, “prejudice” and suspicion were still dominating her mindset, so even though she was touched, Xue Ya would always remind herself that this was just a playboy’s usual tactic, and that Qu Xuan would treat every girl the same way.
Until... Su Yang appeared, and everything changed...
Su Yang’s experience was too legendary. He started from the ground up and earned millions of yuan. Such a legendary experience would affect almost everyone in Shanghai.
Other than Guo Xiaoying, who didn’t care much about Su Yang and was wary of him, everyone felt that Su Yang was the person whom they knew had the most capital, making him their idol and role model.
Xue Ya was no exception. After all, Su Yang came from a small neighbourhood, and his situation was similar to Xue Ya’s. Coupled with his legendary experiences, she naturally felt close to Su Yang.
Not only that, Su Yang’s reputation in school had always been very good. He never messed around with women and was always single-minded. When such a person became Qu Xuan’s matchmaker, Xue Ya could not help but start to seriously consider whether Qu Xuan was sincere toward her.
After all, the people that Su Yang introduced would always have some “credibility guarantee”. This was equivalent to Su Yang being the guarantor. If the two of them really succeeded and Qu Xuan ended up cheating on her, Su Yang’s reputation would also be affected.
Hence, for a moment, Xue Ya’s heart started to tilt towards Qu Xuan.
Following that, she secretly inquired about Qu Xuan’s past deeds. It was not out of her expectations; he was indeed notorious. However... This was not without good news, because Qu Xuan had never been so proactive towards girls.
Hence, wouldn’t that mean that Qu Xuan was serious about Xue Ya since he was being so proactive?
Moreover, with Su Yang pulling the strings, Xue Ya decided to give it a try and started chatting with Qu Xuan.
Slowly... She was drawn to Qu Xuan and fell completely in love with him.
Sometimes, whenever Xue Ya thought back to her experience of being moved by Qu Xuan, Xue Ya would feel that Qu Xuan was indeed a playboy because he understood a girl’s psychology too well. No matter what she wanted to do or say, Qu Xuan could always think ahead of her. It was so comfortable to be in a relationship with him...
However, because Qu Xuan was too “considerate”, so much that it seemed to have become one of his skills. Hence, Xue Ya could not be sure if Qu Xuan was sincere to her.
This made her repeat it several times when she was dating Qu Xuan.
Until... When she became gravely ill. She made up her mind to leave Qu Xuan.
After that, she and Qu Xuan calmed down for a period of time and reconciled because of Su Yang.
At that point, Xue Ya no longer doubted Qu Xuan’s sincerity.
If a person was able to act to the point where they would have a fall out with their parents, took on a huge debt onto themselves, and tortured themselves until they seemed like they had instantly aged 5 years, it was no longer an act.
Sometimes, when someone acts over a long period of time, it ends up being the truth.
After all, for Xue Ya, she only had a few days left in her life.
That was why she had been worried about Qu Xuan. She was a cold person and was more rational when she did things. Seeing Qu Xuan fall out with his parents for her and bear a huge debt, other than feeling touched, she was more worried.
She was afraid that after she died, Qu Xuan would have no one to rely on and would end up alone for the rest of his life.
So she wanted to do something for Qu Xuan...
What would she leave behind then...
...
The next morning, Su Yang was woken up by Little Deeny before dawn.
Su Yang, who had not been woken up for a long time, opened his sleepy eyes and looked at his watch, only to find that it was only 4am.
He asked Little Deeny, who was standing beside his bed, confused, “What’s wrong, Little Deeny? Did something happen?”
Little Deeny’s eyes were red, and there were tears at the corners of her eyes. She sobbed and said, “Master, take a look.”
“What am I supposed to look at?” Su Yang was still confused. He had no idea what was going on.
Just as he was speaking, a translucent virtual screen appeared before him. On the screen was the living room on the first floor. In the living room, Xue Ya was curled up on the sofa with her hands on her stomach. Her body was shaking, and she was moaning in pain.
Seeing Xue Ya’s painful expression, Su Yang gradually regained his senses. He sat up in shock and looked at Little Deeny. “What happened to Xue Ya?”
Little Deeny bit her lips and shook her head. She choked on her tears as she said, “It’s probably her illness that’s causing it.”
Su Yang rubbed his temples. “I don’t remember cancer having this kind of effect though.”
Little Deeny said, “I’ve checked the information. It might be because the cancer cells are pressing on the nerves, or it might be because of the damage caused by chemotherapy. Anyway, the last few weeks of patients with late-stage cancer are spent in extreme pain.”
Su Yang was silent for a while. He seemed to have understood Qu Xuan’s self-reproach during this period of time. ‘His seemingly healthy lover is now in pain after he asked for her to be treated. If I were him, I might feel guilty and blame myself to the point where I won’t be able to forgive myself.’
Just as Su Yang was deep in thought, a figure ran down from upstairs. It was Qu Xuan.
He was wearing pajamas that had creases on them, and there were red marks on his face from sleeping. Obviously, he had just woken up and realized Xue Ya was missing, so he rushed out to look for her.
He ran down and looked around frantically. The moment he saw Xue Ya, he sighed in relief and ran over to hug her.
Perhaps because they were alone, Little Deeny did not livestream.
Su Yang watched as the virtual screen disappeared before his eyes. He looked at Little Deeny and asked, “By the way, is Xue Ya’s condition because of her treatment?”
Little Deeny shook his head. “No. It’s a common symptom of post-treatment trauma and late-stage cancer.”
Su Yang sighed.
From Xue Ya, he could see the pain and suffering of these patients during the treatment period.
He felt an involuntary sense of responsibility. ‘I should perhaps do something for her...
‘The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Under the circumstances where it’s within my capabilities, perhaps I should contribute more to this world...
‘Taking a step back, improving the condition of these terminally ill patients and reducing their pain is also a way to gain some coins and the number of people influenced actually.’
Putting that thought away, Su Yang asked Little Deeny, “Have you told Sanque about this? What did he say?”
Little Deeny said, “Sanque said there’s nothing he can do. He doesn’t have the ability to stop pain.”
Su Yang sighed. He was no longer in the mood to sleep. He got up and put on his clothes. As he walked out, he said, “Wake Little Hus up.”
“Tell it to put in all of its efforts during this period and go outside to see if there’s anything that has the ability to treat cancer or relieve pain.”
“Even though I’ve searched for it many times, I’m still not satisfied if I don’t try it again. Also, if I haven’t found it before, there should be hope.”
Little Deeny nodded. “Yes, Master.”
After making arrangements for Little Hus, Su Yang continued, “Help me call Sanque to the study room. I want to use [The Disbursing Balancing Scale] to see if I can adjust his ability.”
Pausing for a moment, Su Yang added, “If we can adjust the conditions for [Photosynthistic Treant], like adding another seed, Xue Ya might still be saved.”
Perhaps Little Deeny was truly moved by the relationship between Xue Ya and Qu Xuan, or perhaps it was her first time witnessing such a life-and-death situation. Hence, she was very concerned about Xue Ya’s matter. When she heard Su Yang’s arrangement, she quickly nodded. “Master, I’ll get right to it.”
With that, she disappeared.
Looking at the place where Little Deeny disappeared, Su Yang sighed. ‘The two most important girls in the family are so concerned about Xue Ya. If I can’t save her, it’s going to be hard to explain myself...
Su Yang went to the study room and took out the balancing scale. The moment Su Yang placed it on the table, Sanque arrived.
After explaining the situation to Sanque, Su Yang placed Sanque on the left side of the balancing scale and made a change in condition for [Photosynthistic Treant] to have an additional quota.
But soon, Su Yang’s face changed.
‘It actually requires 200 [Liquid Metal Avatars]!
‘200 of them would equal to needing 200 Random Points.
‘Actually, this price is within reason, and it’s not expensive. However, the problem is... Random Points don’t just fall out of the sky. It’s not something that I can just buy with coins.’
Ever since Su Yang modified the [Eye Of Origins], he only had seven random spots left...
Therefore, achieving this modification became an impossible task.
After failing to modify the [Photosynthistic Treant] ability, Su Yang told Sanque to go back and rest while he started to ponder.
‘Based on the current situation, it’s going to be too difficult to find a healing item, and [Photosynthistic Treant] is still on cooldown.
‘Perhaps, I might still have to use my last resort, the [Burning Reincarnation Circus].’
There was actually a reason why Su Yang did not use the [Burning Reincarnation Circus] directly.
Because [Burning Reincarnation Circus] had a lot of limitations in reviving a person.
Putting aside the fact that [Guest Mode] required the other party to have a strong desire to live, Xue Ya obviously did not have any desire to live, leaving [Master Mode] as the only option.
In [Master Mode], the souls collected by the circus had to be killed by Su Yang, little monsters, or special items.
Su Yang could do it. However, it would not be over after he killed Xue Ya. Xue Ya, who would arrive at the circus, would be split into a hundred different personalities. She would grow in a hundred different worlds and fight until she was the last person standing...
Su Yang felt that the person who was left behind would not be the original Xue Ya. Hence, it was hard to determine whether this person was Xue Ya or not...
That was what gave Su Yang a headache.
According to the “rules” of the balancing scales, to modify the rules of a special item with such strong effects, the cost of [Liquid Metal Avatars] would be astronomical, making it almost almost impossible.
Therefore, Su Yang felt that it was very difficult to revive Xue Ya.
Other than stimulating her desire to live, perhaps it was to see if Xue Ya would be able to take down her 99 different personalities.
‘Regardless, I would be able to fulfill my promise and give Qu Xuan a “Xue Ya”...’
As he thought about this, Su Yang got up and walked out of the castle to the circus. He wanted to see if it was difficult to change the conditions of the circus.
Su Yang placed the circus on one side of the balancing scale and made his request.
The result was as expected, the cost for the modification he wanted was sky-high... 150 [Liquid Metal Avatars].
This was the price Su Yang had to pay for his wish to “only have one candidate”.
If he were to wish for there to be no other personalities, he was going to have to pay a whopping 5,000 [Liquid Metal Avatars].
Which was an impossible price!
In the end, Su Yang gave up on that idea. He could only take it one step at a time and see if there was any other way to save Xue Ya...
At that moment, Su Yang really wanted time to slow down... This would give him more time to prepare.
But... Time was like sand in his hands. The more he held onto it, the faster it flowed.
Su Yang felt that a day had passed without him doing anything.
On this day, Qu Xuan accompanied Xue Ya to watch TV serieses and then took her out for a walk. He even admired the sharks raised by Su Yang and played Aeroplane Chess. In such a warm life, Xue Ya’s expression seemed to have improved.
However, everyone knew that this did not mean that her body had recovered. Instead, it meant that she was in her final moments.
Under such circumstances, Qu Xuan felt even more sorrowful, Sanque was even more silent, and Su Yang was even more anxious. Little Deeny’s eyes were red from morning till night. On the other hand, Xue Ya seemed to have gotten over it, but perhaps it was because of the pain that made her desire to live decrease even further...
She had taken at least 10 painkillers that day, but she would still curl into a ball from time to time.
Fortunately, during the night, Little Hus brought good news... The special item for pain relief was found.
It was within Su Yang’s expectations. Compared to the special treatment items, pain-related items only had a single function and had limited effects, so they should be easy to find.
Therefore, when Little Hus brought the item home, Su Yang did not hesitate to add a point onto it.
