Chapter 55 The Poor Little Guy Who Fell Down on the Back Hill of the School (34)
After listening to Xu Fu's well-reasoned explanation, Professor Fang fell silent.
Hearing that no one spoke on the other end of the phone, Xu Fu could only ask,
"Professor Fang, are you still listening? Are you feeling alright—"
Xu Fu certainly didn't want to anger someone to death because of himself...
"Alright, I understand—" Professor Fang sighed heavily.
Everyone has their own ambitions, and he shouldn't force him to do too much.
"Then come pick up your diploma when you're ready. In a few days, I'll push you straight to medical school—"
"You won't have to wait until school starts."
"But it also depends on the arrangements made by the teachers over there—"
"Doesn't the professor need my help?" Xu Fu asked again, adding his own question.
"No need," Professor Fang said, his heart sinking completely.
"That's connected to higher-ups; it means you went to help them."
"Then you can't just go abroad anytime."
Professor Fang had already gone this far, so Xu Fu naturally understood.
He delivered the items to the central government—
"That prescription was originally intended for you to be credited and patented."
Professor Fang remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Since you're planning to have someone help you have the baby..."
"Then, this honor can only fall on my shoulders—"
"However, I will leave all the bonuses and dividends to you."
"When you develop more effective medicines in the future, you can come to me as soon as possible."
"Alright," Xu Fu chuckled, "then I'll take advantage of Professor Fang's connections and wait to make my fortune—"
"Get lost! If you wanted to, you'd be a celebrity by now—"
"Come pick up your diploma whenever you have time. You can go back to take graduation photos later if you want."
Professor Fang cursed and then hung up the phone.
Xu Fu hung up the phone with a smile, and when he went out, he saw the old man sitting absentmindedly on the sofa.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Xu Fu asked with concern.
"Are you really planning to continue your studies, without working, getting married, or having children?"
The old man glanced at the person and asked dejectedly.
Xu Fu immediately sat down next to the old man, took his hand, and asked seriously,
"Grandpa, do you want me to get married and have a baby for you to hold?"
"If you don't get married and have children, what will you do after I die?!"
"All alone—" The old man's face was filled with loneliness.
"Then I'll spend my whole life learning, learning until I'm old—"
Xu Fu replied with a smile.
“But,” the old man added, “if I don’t see you get married and have children…”
I always feel that life will leave regrets—
"But I have no intention of getting married—" Although he was using the original owner's body, Xu Fu still felt awkward.
Xu Fu had suffered hardships in his own world, and now he dared not easily trust anyone.
If he truly invested his feelings in that small world, then when he left...
Wouldn't that be incredibly heartbreaking?!
If everyone in every world has to get married and have children, then when he remembers it later...
Wouldn't that mean he'd be constantly thinking about the 3000 worlds, which would interfere with his work?!
[Host, the system shop has Emotion Elimination Pills and Memory Preservation Beads—]
[If, after completing the missions in each world, the host takes a pill to eliminate emotions...]
Then, extract the memories of the small world and place them in the memory retention bead.
[It will not have any impact on the world afterwards.]
"But after experiencing so much, I've so easily forgotten the people and things here."
"I get the feeling that they're ungrateful and heartless—"
"Also, after erasing emotions and retaining memories, will it really not have any impact on the original me?"
What if the system, each time, silently extracts more of his emotions and desires—
Will he one day become nothing more than an emotionless machine?
Or become an emotionless puppet taskmaster?!
Xu Fu had serious doubts about this!
"I'm just afraid you'll be lonely after I leave—"
The old man sighed heavily, as if he wanted to exhaust all the vicissitudes of his life this afternoon.
"If no one waits for you at home in the future, will you just wander around aimlessly?"
"When you're young, you have plenty of energy, you can travel around, see new things, and meet up with friends—"
"You're getting old and can't walk anymore, so you'll have to stay indoors all the time."
"Staring blankly at your phone, staring blankly at the TV, staring blankly out the window?!"
Xu Fu paused, realizing the old man's words made sense, but only for ordinary people.
Xu Fu was perfectly capable of escaping from the small world at any time.
And he never imagined living out his days in that small world...
"Okay, I'll think about it some more, but I don't think I have any plans to do that in the next few years—"
Xu Fu took a step back slightly and softened his stance.
"Why do you still want to continue studying?!" the old man asked incredulously.
"Yes, at least five or six years—" Xu Fu nodded honestly.
He started school early as a child and skipped two grades; he's not even 21 yet.
If you study for another five or six years, you'll be at most twenty-seven or twenty-eight, which is the prime of your youth and the time when you're at your physical peak.
"Maybe I should go back to my hometown during the New Year, and then I won't come out with you anymore—"
"When we're away from home, we not only have to pay for housing, but also for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation."
"The money you have on you probably won't be enough for the two of us to live in the capital for six or seven years—"
The old man was somewhat worried; he didn't want to spend his days idly accompanying his child to school.
Back in my rural hometown, even if I don't work in the fields, my living expenses aren't this high...
"Don't worry, if I graduate early, the school will give me another scholarship—"
Xu Fu said with a smile, "And since I'm switching majors, I also get another bonus—"
"Once the bonus comes in, we can live a carefree life for ten years without doing anything."
"Really?" The old man looked at Xu Fu with disbelief. "There really is that much money?!"
"Yes," Xu Fu nodded with great enthusiasm, even though the money hadn't arrived in his account yet—
Unexpectedly, the old man slapped Xu Fu on the head.
"With so much money, you could easily raise two children, so why don't you get married and have kids?!"
Hearing the old man's self-righteous argument, Xu Fu was left speechless.
"But I still have to go to school and do experiments, and there's no one to help me take care of my child—"
Xu Fu muttered something under his breath.
"Am I not a human being? Is it so difficult to hire a nanny?!"
The old man roared at everyone—
"Alright," Xu Fu had no choice but to compromise since things had come to this point.
"Then I'll get you two kids, but I don't want to get married—"
"You—" The old man tried to raise his hand again, but Xu Fu quickly stepped aside.
"Grandpa, do you prefer blondes with blue eyes or us with yellow skin and black hair?"
"Even if it's all black from top to bottom, I'm fine with that—"
"You brat—" Upon hearing Xu Fu's nonsensical words, the old man threw his slipper at the man.
"It would be best if you looked like us. If you dare to mess around, I'll chop you up!"
"I understand, I understand—" Xu Fu touched his nose.
Seeing the old man's eager expression, Xu Fu had no choice but to postpone his own preparations.
But he only has a little over 140 million yuan on him right now, which isn't even enough, even overseas.
Xu Fu suddenly felt a bit strapped for cash, "I wonder when the bonus will finally come in?!"
Compared to spending four or five million to have someone abroad bear his child, Xu Fu could have married a young, unmarried woman for a million.
Anyway, he has medical skills, so he can have five children if he wants.
But he was also afraid that the intimate relationship would break down and end in divorce, which would not be good.
But there are only two paths ahead...
Xu Fu bid farewell to the old man and headed towards Professor Fang's office, intending to collect his graduation certificate immediately.
As he walked, he pondered ways to break the deadlock.
"System, help me—" Xu Fu directly assigned a task to the system.
[Host, how do I request the system?]
"Can you help me analyze this? I'm spending money to marry a wife in the country."
"Is it better to hire a surrogate mother abroad?!"
[Ding, analyzing—]
[Ding, report generated and being sent to the host's phone]
[Ding, five points for your patronage. Thank you for your patronage.]
Upon hearing that the system had deducted five points from her account, the student uniform officer rolled her eyes.
He immediately took out his phone and looked through the reports sent by the system.
He stood there for a long time, finally letting out a heavy sigh.
"It's more cost-effective to get married and have children in China."
"Where am I going to find someone willing to have my child?!"
Xu Fu scratched his head in frustration, just as he was about to continue looking for Professor Fang...
Then came a loud thud.
Xu Fu turned around in shock and saw a young girl lying limply on the ground.
Apart from him, there was no one else around.
"Holy crap, system, did you drop a Lin Daiyu on me?! No—"
"Could it be the mother of my child?!" Xu Fu's eyes widened, and he roared at the system in his mind.
"Is this what you, System, are supposed to do?!"
[Host, if you just took his pulse, you could tell he's just in a hypoglycemic coma—]
[Host, the system cannot control anyone, including—]
[The relationship between this system and the host is purely cooperative!]
[Let me reiterate once again, this system cannot force anyone!!!]
"Oh, low blood sugar!" Xu Fu immediately picked him up and carried him into the infirmary.
"Let's get him an IV drip; he fainted due to low blood sugar," Xu Fu said with a smile to the teacher at the infirmary.
After Xu Fu placed Lin Daiyu on the bed, the infirmary doctor carefully examined her.
It was discovered that, as Xu Fu had said, the patient had low blood sugar—and then they administered grape juice to him.
"Hey kid, remember to settle your bill first, then stay here and watch over the IV drip—"
The infirmary staff didn't give Xu Fu a chance to explain; they assigned him tasks and then left.
Xu Fu had no choice but to accept the mission in this critical situation and sat by the bedside to guard the patient.
Then I told Professor Fang about it and that I would go to pick up my graduation certificate when he had time.
