Repairer

Chapter 10: It’s Hard to Pretend to be Sick

[ Repair points: 10 points]

Looking at the numbers in his mind, Su Xiaofan fell into deep thought and realized that he seemed to have obtained something incredible.

The so-called repair point was simply too magical and heaven-defying. It could directly repair the damage to the body, and in just a dozen hours, it had restored Su Xiaofan’s body, which might take half a year to recover.

Although he didn’t have any beliefs, Su Xiaofan, who had lived in a materialistic environment since he was a child, always liked to find scientific ways to answer questions.

But this time, Su Xiaofan couldn’t use science to explain what was happening to him. What was a repair point? Where did the repair point come from? Su Xiaofan knew nothing about this.

‘Could it be that an electric shock can activate the system and produce repair points?’ As Su Xiaofan thought about this, he took out his sister’s phone from the bedside and searched it. As for his phone, it had probably been turned into scrap metal from the electric shock.

“Eh? Do so many people die from electrocution every year?”

He wouldn’t have known if he hadn’t checked, but Su Xiaofan was shocked.

In China alone, the number of deaths from electric shocks had reached 8,000 the year before, and the number of deaths from lightning strikes had reached about 3,000 to 4,000. It seemed that the probability of death from being electrocuted or struck by lightning was higher, and there was no recovery rate.

“I wonder if I can use the repair points on others? How can I get the repair points?”

Unable to figure out the source of the repair points in his mind, Su Xiaofan began to think about how he could get them. This thing had already shown its use. Just its ability to repair his body’s functions had already benefited Su Xiaofan.

‘Why aren’t you answering?’

After asking these two questions, Su Xiaofan waited for a while, but there were no new words appearing in his mind. Su Xiaofan understood that this thing had a temper. It didn’t seem to answer other questions except for using repair points.

“Should I try getting an electric shock again?” Su Xiaofan licked his lips and looked at the power outlet on the bedside table, feeling tempted.

“Forget it. My back injury hasn’t healed yet. What if I die after trying? Who can I talk to…” Su Xiaofan laughed bitterly in his heart. He had touched his back muscles when he used the phone, and the burning sensation made him gasp.

‘Using recovery points to heal back injuries?’ Su Xiaofan had this thought.

[ Repair points: 10 points. To repair the burn on your back, 8 repair points will be deducted. Repair? ]

The words appeared in Su Xiaofan’s mind again.

“I won’t repair it!”

Su Xiaofan hesitated for a while and chose to refuse. With the previous recovery effect, Su Xiaofan felt that the burn on his back would probably heal in a short time after deducting the eight points. Although it was a good thing for him to recover, he couldn’t explain it to the doctor.

According to what the doctor had just said, burns were usually divided into three levels. First-level burns only had superficial injuries, with red, swollen, hot pain, blisters, and no scars. They would recover in about seven days. Second-level burns had red, swollen, hot pain on the surface, and would take about half a month to recover. Second-level burns would take more than a month to recover.

The burn on Su Xiaofan’s back was a third-degree burn, and it had reached the bone. It was difficult to treat. If not treated properly, it could easily lead to septicemia, which could even be life-threatening. Even if he was treated in time, it would take at least two to three months for him to recover, and it would leave a huge scar.

The repair points that appeared in Su Xiaofan’s mind were too unscientific. If the burn on his back healed quickly and Su Xiaofan couldn’t give him the reason, he felt that he would most likely become a lab rat for some department’s experiments. Su Xiaofan would rather endure the pain for a while than allow that to happen.

Su Xiaofan didn’t intend to tell anyone about his recovery.

He decided to spend a week’s time to mentally prepare the doctors and let them gradually accept the fact that their bodies recovered quickly. Then, he would ask to be discharged and go home to rest. In short, he could not jump out of the bed now, or even his sister would be scared.

“Damn it, I need to get the doctor to take this urine bag out first.”

Su Xiaofan suddenly saw a yellow liquid in a plastic bag hanging by the bed, and the corner of his mouth twitched. It would have been fine if he had no feeling in his body, but now he had recovered, and there was a tube inserted through that place. Su Xiaofan couldn’t stand it anymore. The accident this time was much more serious than the car accident, and Su Xiaofan didn’t have a catheter that time.

..

“Brother, I’m back. Are you okay?” Su Xiaoxiao came back quickly. Su Xiaofan saw that her hair was still wet, and she had rushed to the hospital after taking a shower.

“I’m fine, Xiaoxiao. Leave the clothes here. I’ll change myself.” Su Xiaofan thought for a moment and said, “Go and get a nurse. See if they can remove my catheter. It’s too inconvenient. ”

“You can’t get off the bed now, so you should just stick it in.” Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. “Wait until you’re done with the examination and get the doctor’s opinion. Brother, don’t force yourself.”

‘Trying to be brave? I’m just pretending to be sick.’ Su Xiaofan chuckled bitterly in his heart. He had his own difficulties to voice, so he could only slowly increase his activity to dispel the doctor’s doubts about his rapid recovery.

“Then we’ll talk after the examination. You go out first, I’ll change my clothes.”

Su Xiaofan chased his sister out and quickly changed into a tank top. After taking off his hospital gown, he realized that he wasn’t wearing any underwear because of the tube. Fortunately, he had a lot of money, or he would be too embarrassed to face anyone.

“No matter what, we have to pull out this tube in the afternoon.” Su Xiaofan put on the pants of the hospital gown and made a decision in his heart.

“Little sister, where are the things I had on me?” When he changed his clothes, Su Xiaofan realized that in addition to his phone, the pendant around his neck was gone. He wondered if it had been taken off by the doctor during the operation.

“What is it?” Su Xiaoxiao walked into the ward and said, “Your phone is completely broken. I got you a new sim card. Put it in this phone later.”

“Where’s the pendant on my body? It’s the thing Dad gave me,” said Su Xiaofan. “I found an 18k gold chain to wear. Where did it go?”

It was hard to say that Su Xiaofan had deep feelings for the pendant, but he had spent more than 3,000 Yuan on the chain. It wasn’t an electronic device, so it definitely wouldn’t be damaged by lightning.

“The pendant is missing, but Uncle Niu put the gold chain away for you. It’s in the bedside cabinet. Why are you looking for it?” Su Xiaoxiao looked at her brother in confusion.

“Just don’t lose it.”

Su Xiaofan was relieved to hear that the gold chain was still there. As the saying went, the children of poor people should take care of themselves early. His mother passed away early, and his father was not at home all year round. He had always been thrifty, and the most expensive gift he had ever bought for himself in his life was that gold chain.

As for the pendant, Su Xiaofan didn’t pay much attention to it. When his father gave it to him, he didn’t think it was a good thing. He just set up a stall in the antique market and wore it for fashion. People in the antique market would be embarrassed to go out without a gold chain around their neck, even if the chain would float in the water.

What Su Xiaofan didn’t know was that if the pendant hadn’t absorbed the energy of the lightning and the electric shock, and then fed the gentle energy back to repair part of Su Xiaofan’s body, Su Xiaofan would have been a pile of rotten meat by now. First, he was electrocuted, then struck by lightning. Even if he was a cultivator undergoing tribulation in xianxia novels, he probably wouldn’t have survived.

After staying in the ward for a while, Su Xiaofan’s attending doctor entered the ward with a group of nurses. He was going to do an MRI scan and CT scan today, which required a special examination room. Su Xiaofan was a critical patient, and he was not even qualified to sit in a wheelchair. Several nurses pushed him away with the bed.

With such a good opportunity to perform, Su Xiaofan naturally wouldn’t miss it. First, he tried very hard to support his upper body with his hands, and then he tried to move his body to get out of bed. Although his performance was quickly suppressed by a fat nurse who weighed 200 pounds, Su Xiaofan still succeeded in attracting the attending doctor’s attention. After being in a coma for so long, his body’s functions recovered so quickly.

After all the examinations were done, the doctor was even more surprised. The results of the brain CT, chest CT, and brain MRI scans showed that Su Xiaofan’s body was in a healthy state except for the burn on his back.

Of course, the machine couldn’t detect his physical weakness. The doctor thought that Su Xiaofan was young and had a good body. In addition, Su Xiaoxiao had been massaging him while he was unconscious, so his muscles were still active. That was why he recovered so quickly.

But according to the doctor, it would take a month or two for a normal person to recover after a long coma. Even if Su Xiaofan recovered quickly, he still needed to be observed.

With the doctor’s preconceived notion, Su Xiaofan sat up after returning to the ward. When Zheng Dagang came to the hospital with chicken soup in the evening, Su Xiaofan even tried to stand up.

Of course, when doing these actions, Su Xiaofan paid great attention to the management of his facial expression. He tried very hard to make a very weak and exhausted appearance. Perhaps it was because he acted too well, but in the end, he was pressed back to the bed by Zheng Dagang.

On the third day, after Su Xiaofan’s persuasion, the doctor finally agreed to remove the catheter.

However, the process wasn’t perfect. Su Xiaofan suffered the most inhumane blow in his life because the person who pulled out the tube was the fat nurse who weighed 200 pounds. When Su Xiaofan urged a male doctor to do the procedure, the fat nurse said that she was the one who prepared the skin for Su Xiaofan’s little brother before the operation and that she had already seen what she shouldn’t have seen.
