Chapter 1533 Recovery?
Shangjiang University.
“Cough, cough, cough…”
An Qingyu’s coughing gradually subsided. He sat weakly in the wheelchair, looking extremely haggard.
“Feeling better?” Jiang Er asked worriedly.
“A bit better. The headache lasted for a while and then receded, just like when I first woke up last time.” An Qingyu gazed at the calm lake before him and spoke bitterly, “It seems my aftereffects aren’t as simple as I imagined…”
“You’ve been taking medicine for so many days. Was this headache less severe than the last one?”
“No.” An Qingyu paused. “It seems… it was more painful than last time.”
Jiang Er sighed dejectedly.
“By the way, did Qiye go to kill the ‘Mystery’?” An Qingyu asked, as if suddenly remembering something.
“Sort of… he said that thing is called ‘Mi Ge’.”
“Mi Ge? What’s that?”
Considering An Qingyu’s recent condition, Lin Qiye hadn’t told him about the existence of “Mi Ge” to avoid giving him unnecessary pressure. But now that things had reached this point, Jiang Er couldn’t hide it anymore and could only tell the truth:
“It’s a Ke-system creature, seemingly a servant of the [Key to the Door]… but that thing is only at the ‘Klein’ level, not much trouble.”
“[Key to the Door]?” An Qingyu’s brows furrowed slightly. “Is it related to the three pillar gods of the Ke system… anything connected to that mythology can’t be a small problem.”
“Your injuries haven’t healed yet, so don’t think too much about it. There are no classes this afternoon, let’s go back and wait for them.”
An Qingyu, sitting in the wheelchair, quickly returned to the courtyard. By now, his discomfort had mostly disappeared, and apart from some weakness, there wasn’t much difference from usual.
An Qingyu sat in the courtyard, looking at the distant sky, as if lost in thought.
Seeing this, Jiang Er knew he was worried about Lin Qiye and the others. All his teammates had gone out to solve a problem, while he, the deputy captain of [Nightfall], could only wait here, surely feeling uncomfortable.
Just as Jiang Er was thinking about how to comfort him, An Qingyu spoke first:
“Jiang Er, play a game of chess with me.”
Jiang Er was stunned for a moment, but nodded: “Alright.”
The two sat facing each other under the maple tree. An Qingyu picked up a chess piece first and placed it on the board, with Jiang Er following suit.
Time passed minute by minute, and the chess pieces on the board increased. While playing with An Qingyu, Jiang Er was also thinking about Lin Qiye and the others. After some time, An Qingyu suddenly asked:
“Jiang Er, how many moves have we made?”
Jiang Er snapped back to attention and looked at the chessboard. “Already… eighty-nine moves?”
Just a few days ago, An Qingyu could only play about forty moves with her. Although he improved daily, it was only by three or four moves. Today, Jiang Er had been distracted, and they had already reached nearly ninety moves?
And looking at An Qingyu’s condition now – no sweating, no headache… he seemed to be handling it with ease?
Jiang Er knew clearly that although she had been somewhat distracted, she wasn’t playing carelessly. She maintained the same level of difficulty as before, which meant An Qingyu’s logical reasoning ability had recovered significantly?
Jiang Er focused and continued playing with An Qingyu. About ten minutes later, after placing a chess piece, An Qingyu uncertainly asked:
“Jiang Er… did I win?”
Jiang Er stared at the chessboard in disbelief, then exclaimed joyfully: “You won! You really won!”
“Come to think of it, I do feel my mind is clearer…”
“It seems the daily medicine is working!” Jiang Er suddenly remembered something and stood up immediately. “You haven’t taken today’s medicine yet. I’ll go prepare it for you!”
Shortly after, Jiang Er brought a bowl of steaming medicinal soup to An Qingyu. He drank it all at once, wiped his mouth, and continued: “Let’s continue, Jiang Er. This time, increase the difficulty a bit.”
“Alright!”
The chess game began again. This time, Jiang Er focused on analyzing An Qingyu’s chess strategy, trying to gauge his logical reasoning ability through his moves… As more pieces were placed, Jiang Er’s surprise grew.
Although this method of assessment wasn’t entirely accurate, Jiang Er could basically confirm that An Qingyu’s logical reasoning ability had recovered significantly. It was now at the level of an average adult, though still somewhat below that of a high school student.
“Jiang Er, my head is starting to feel dizzy.” An Qingyu looked at the chessboard, sweat beginning to form on his forehead. Jiang Er knew he was reaching his limit.
She immediately put away the chess set, handed him a cup of hot water, and pushed him into the courtyard to bask in the sun.
Although An Qingyu’s face was somewhat pale, Jiang Er could clearly sense that his spirit had changed. His eyes revealed a hint of long-lost confidence.
“Jiang Er,” An Qingyu suddenly spoke, looking at the maple forest in the sunlight.
“Hmm?”
“I will recover eventually, right?”
“Of course! It’s only been a few days, and you’ve already recovered so much. At this rate, you’ll be completely healed in a month at most!” Jiang Er said with certainty.
An Qingyu smiled, relaxed in his wheelchair, and slowly closed his eyes.
Creak—!
After some time, the courtyard gate was pushed open, and Lin Qiye walked in holding [Zhan Bai].
“Qiye?” Jiang Er asked in surprise. “Is everything resolved?”
“Yes, very smoothly.”
Lin Qiye nodded slightly.
Dealing with a “Klein” level Mi Ge wasn’t difficult for Lin Qiye. He resolved the battle in ten minutes. The thunder beast was even faster than him, and Chen Han and Cao Yuan also successively killed their opponents.
After confirming all four Mi Ge were dead, Lin Qiye circled the skies of Shangjiang for a long time, waited for about two hours, and only returned here after no new Mi Ge appeared.
“What’s wrong with Qingyu?”
“He fell asleep.” Jiang Er excitedly told Lin Qiye about An Qingyu’s recovery, and Lin Qiye’s eyes also lit up with joy.
He looked at An Qingyu resting peacefully in the sunlight and nodded slightly:
“It’s best that Qingyu can recover… I have a feeling that recently, Shangjiang, or even the entire Great Xia, is about to face something major…”
“Is there anything I can help with?”
Lin Qiye thought carefully. “In the next few days, I might need you to access some city surveillance or other electronic components to help me find some things. I’ll contact you via communicator when needed.”
“No problem.”
“Also…” Lin Qiye paused. “In the coming days, I might not be at school. If Qingyu asks, tell him I have business with Squad 006.
His condition has just improved, let him rest. It’s best if he’s not involved in these matters.”
…
…
I’m not sure if it’s because of a cold, but I haven’t been feeling well these past few days, my mind is a bit foggy… Updates might be fewer in the next couple of days. San Jiu will adjust as soon as possible, sorry.
