1 A Systems Sudden Arrival (1/2)
Xiao Luo blearily regained consciousness and found himself lying on a hospital bed. The strong odor of disinfectant permeated the air.
”This is..... a hospital? Why am I in a hospital?”
Xiao Luo frowned, feeling extremely puzzled. But his brain, which had recovered its functions, quickly told him everything.
After his girlfriend, Zhao Mengqi, broke up with him, he drove his cheap domestic car to the suburbs, where he sped down the road to vent his emotions.
It had been raining earlier, and the road was slick. Moreover, it was late at night. He very unluckily got into an accident. The car, which was going more than 120 miles an hour, careened off the road and plunged headfirst down a three-meter drop into farmland. He could not remember anything after that and did not know who was the good Samaritan who had found and brought him to the hospital. That was the only reason he was still alive.
Creak.
At that moment, the door of the ward was pushed open, and a sweet-looking nurse carrying a tray of liquid medications walked in.
”Ahhh.”
When she saw that Xiao Luo had awakened and was sitting up, frowning in contemplation, she immediately cried out in alarm. The liquid medications in her hands crashed to the ground and spilled all over the floor. She looked as if she had seen a ghost. Her eyes were wide open, and she pointed at Xiao Luo with her trembling right hand and stammered, ”You, you, you.... how are you awake?”
Xiao Luo didn't know what was going on and thought in his mind, Is this nurse new? If not, why is she having such an intense reaction to seeing a patient who had awakened?
He looked up and down at himself and then from left to the right. Afterward, he spread his hands and said, ”This is obvious.” He asked carefully, ”Is there... anything wrong?”
”How could you have awakened? There's no way that you could have you awakened, how.....”
The nurse still looked as if she had seen a ghost; her eyes and delicate mouth were wide open. She stared at Xiao Luo with an incredulous expression. It seemed that she could not believe the facts that were in front of her eyes.
No way he could have awakened!
Xiao Luo really felt a little stumped; he did not understand why the nurse would say such a thing.
Just as he was about to ask her a question, the nurse turned her head and ran out. Her hysterical shrieking echoed down the corridor, ”Dr. Zhang, this is bad. The patient in Ward 438 is awake!”
Just what was happening?
Xiao Luo was at a total loss. He could not figure out the reason for the situation. Besides, he was speechless about his ward number: ”438” was not an auspicious number; its homonym was ”damned fool.”
At this moment, a series of system notifications suddenly sounded in his mind, the tone of which was just like the system voice of a popular online game, ”League of Legends.” This also was the highly-modulated voice of a female with an expansive and exaggerated quality.
”DING. Congratulations! You've earned ten points. Would you like to open the mall to proceed with redemption?”
Xiao Luo sucked in a breath of fresh air. What motherf*cking situation was this?
As a new youth of the twenty-first century, he could not believe such an outrageous thing could happen. This simply went against all common sense.
He thought he was hallucinating, perhaps the result of a concussion, but then a lighted panel appeared before his eyes. It was like a high-tech resume that showed a series of information about him.

What? M... Mediocre?
Seeing this, Xiao Luo immediately returned to himself. He found this unacceptable and thought, In any case, I'm still an engineer of Huahai Manufacturing Corporation. If even engineers are considered mediocre, no one in this world is not mediocre!
