Chapter 69: Chapter 68 Qin Wanwan's Thoughts
"You all should rest early too!"
Having practiced continuously from six thirty until nine thirty, Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue finally bade farewell to their teachers and went back to their respective accommodations.
After getting back to his dormitory, Gu Yu didn\'t want to utter another word, took a shower, and went straight to bed.
"We\'re going to pick up Boss Pu from the hospital tomorrow morning, wake me up!"
Right before falling asleep, Gu Yu softly called out to his second and third brothers who were still busy under his bunk bed.
Regardless of whether the two heard him or not, he was already asleep.
At midnight, Yu Shutong suddenly stretched out in a big yawn: "Done! Laosan, send me your data!"
"Shh—" Qin Shan made a shushing gesture at him, pointing at the already sleeping Laosi on the bed, then handed him a metal flash drive that had been plugged into the computer.
Yu Shutong then realized Gu Yu was already asleep and quickly lowered his voice.
"After importing the database, the two of us will work overtime to test it. Boss Pu is probably asleep by now, so let\'s not call him."
He plugged the flash drive into the computer, started batching the data into the database, and checked if the program was running correctly.
"Ha—yes! After so many days of hard work, we\'ve finally got it done."
Qin Shan yawned. The many days he and his second brother had worked overtime had not been in vain.
The two made themselves a couple of cups of coffee, had a brief discussion, patiently waited for the database import to complete, and then started testing.
They kept working until after one in the morning to finish the job.
...
Don\'t miss out on m-vl-em-pyr
Early the next day, Gu Yu, who faintly heard snoring, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.
Seeing that his second and third brothers were still asleep, he was about to call them to wake up when his eyes swept across the table and he saw the unfinished cups of coffee. He immediately guessed that they must have pulled an all-nighter.
His open mouth closed again, and Gu Yu got out of bed quietly, then closed the bathroom door behind him to wash up.
After getting ready, he sent Lin Xinyue a good morning message and then sat in the chair to look at the game interface on Yu Shutong\'s computer that hadn\'t been closed.
With nothing better to do, Gu Yu casually started the game.
Compared with the previous test version, the buttons had rounded corners for beautification, the text was in title font, and the distribution of UI icons was more reasonable. It was clear that his second brother had spent a lot of effort on the UI in the past two days.
It was the same gameplay. He randomly picked three talents, allocated the attribute points, and Gu Yu began the game.
Starting from age zero, this time he was born as a lonely little match girl who sold matches, and for the first sixteen years, nothing happened.
It wasn\'t until she turned 17 that she was scammed out of her breakfast money by a swindler, and in a fit of extreme anger, she comprehended magic!
She was then recruited by a magic academy as a special case into the advanced magic summoning class to study for two years.
Two years later, when she returned to town, she was swindled out of her student loan by the same swindler, and the townspeople mocked her for being foolish.
In a rage, she summoned a small nuclear bomb and sent the whole town\'s people to meet her grandmother.
In the end, she was captured by the Ministry of Magic and imprisoned for life, dying in prison at the age of 87.
[Age 87: Your weak body has been eroded by magic, and you have died.]
Looking at the final outcome, Gu Yu didn\'t know what to say about his feelings.
All he could say was Laosan\'s imagination was truly awesome!
From a little match girl to a magic girl who summons nuclear bombs, was there any inevitable connection between the two?
Incredibly, he just combined them all with the idea of a scam!
Gu Yu, feeling unable to mock any longer, played several more rounds, and there were even bizarre stories like the dragon defeating the princess to rescue the knight.
In short, you could never guess in what direction the story would develop next.
Of course, there were also proper developments like technological upgrades, then mechanical cultivation, and finally ascending to the Immortal World to struggle and rise to become an Immortal Emperor.
[Age 5766: The so-called Immortal Emperor was but a dream, and now that you\'ve awoken, the boss tells you to get lost at once.]
"..."
Gu Yu\'s fingers paused on the screen.
Well, that wasn\'t a very serious story either.
This was the last round he played, and it also took the longest time, at least half an hour.
Glancing at the time in the bottom right corner of the computer, it was already eight thirty in the morning.
Gu Yu stood up and patted his second and third brothers\' behinds one by one.
"Wake up! Wake up! It\'s time to pick up Boss Pu from the hospital!"
It took a while for the two to twist and turn on the bed like eels before sitting up with bed hair.
Qin Shan squinted at Gu Yu from under the bed: "What time is it?"
"Eight thirty-three. We need to get there by nine thirty to go through the discharge procedures. Any later and the doctors might not be free."
"Ha—"
Qin Shan yawned again but still struggled to get up and wash up.
Seeing Laosan getting off the bed, Yu Shutong dropped back onto his pillow and mumbled, "Laosan, you wash up first, let me sleep for five more minutes!"
Half an hour later, the two were done with their morning routine and stood in front of Gu Yu, looking listless.
"Oh, I told you guys not to work overtime if it\'s not necessary; we aren\'t in such a rush! This can\'t happen again next time!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, we won\'t do it again next time!"
Gu Yu complained a couple of times, and the two hurriedly nodded and shook their heads in agreement.
Indeed, this kind of high-intensity overtime work was too draining.
Even after sleeping through the night, their heads still felt swollen.
That was a symptom of excessive brain use.
Gu Yu sighed, knowing that his buddies just wanted to hurry up and get the company\'s first product launched, but this was not the way to work!
He had started Ideal Paradise to change the 996 work schedule.
Now look, the company wasn\'t even big yet, and the founders were already working themselves to the bone!
This was not acceptable!
"Let\'s go, let\'s go!"
Gu Yu glanced at the time, realizing they could still grab breakfast, and quickly ushered everyone downstairs.
The trio went downstairs, ate breakfast swiftly at the cafeteria, and then took the metro to the Affiliated Hospital.
...
Affiliated Hospital Chief Physician\'s office.
"All the discharge procedures are done, make sure to keep the doctor\'s orders and the medical record book safe, and remember during this period the patient should be careful with their diet and avoid vigorous exercise!"
The chubby Chief Physician with glasses closed the medical record book and handed it over to Gu Yu with a sheet of doctor\'s orders.
Gu Yu nodded in thanks, "Alright, thank you, doctor."
Clutching the medical records and doctor\'s orders, he headed towards Boss Pu\'s ward and on the way, bumped into someone he knew.
Qin Wanwan, a surgical graduate student under Dai Zhengguo.
Today, Qin Wanwan hadn\'t tied her hair in a bun but had it styled in a side fishtail braid, wearing an off-white coat and khaki bell-bottoms, busy on her phone.
Gu Yu had an indelibly deep impression of her, not because she was a student of Dai Zhengguo.
But because she was the first girl who wanted to slice open his face to see the muscle structure!
Every time he thought of that remark, it sent shivers down his spine!
He lowered his head, subconsciously pretending not to recognize her, intending to walk past her.
However, Qin Wanwan still spotted him.
"Hey! Gu! What are you doing here? What a coincidence!"
Qin Wanwan happened to hang up the phone just as she saw Gu Yu walking by.
Gu Yu hesitated mid-step, then greeted her, "Yeah! What a coincidence! I\'m here to take care of my roommate\'s discharge procedures."
With that said, Gu Yu waved the medical record book and doctor\'s orders in his hand.
"Hehe! That\'s really great!"
Qin Wanwan\'s face brightened with a smile, though her fingers fidgeted with her phone case.
She had so much she had wanted to say to Gu Yu just moments ago, but when she opened her mouth, she found herself speechless.
Gu Yu looked a bit puzzled; what did Boss Pu have to do with this Qin Wanwan?
Why did Qin Wanwan seem so happy?
Still, he followed up on her response, "Yeah! I won\'t have to run back and forth between school and the Affiliated Hospital anymore! It really is great!"
"Is there anything else you want to say? I need to take my roommate for the discharge."
Gu Yu cut straight to the point, aiming to end the awkward chat right there.
Qin Wanwan pursed her lips, not expecting Gu Yu to be so blunt.
Why didn\'t Gu Yu ask what she was doing at the hospital?
But on the surface, she still wore a smile, "Okay!"
Gu Yu responded with a perfunctory smile and a nod, then prepared to turn around and leave.
But before he could turn completely, Qin Wanwan called out to him again.
"Wait! Gu, can I add you on WeFly? Mr. Dai asked me to learn more from you! And will you be at tomorrow\'s clinical simulation teaching class? Mr. Dai said he invited you."
Qin Wanwan took out her phone; this was her third time mustering the courage to ask Gu Yu to add her on WeFly.
Gu Yu looked at her, hesitated for a moment, but eventually took out his phone and added her.
He had no connections with Qin Wanwan and was doing it solely out of respect for Dai Zhengguo.
"Beep—"
"Added. I\'ll see about the class; I can\'t guarantee I\'ll go. I\'ve got to leave now."
After the successful friend request, Gu Yu left without lingering.
Qin Wanwan stood there, looking at Gu Yu\'s WeFly ID on her phone, her face a mixture of disappointment and happiness.
The two emotions ebbed and flowed within her.
