[Character: Sato Suzu]
[Condition: Weak (early stage liver cancer)]
[Mood fluctuation detected; inquiring about inner desires—whether to cure the target person's liver cancer?]
[Cost: Pollution level increases by 5%]
Su Qing narrowed his eyes slightly. This was the first time the system had ever appeared in front of him on its own initiative.
Would a 5% increase in pollution levels be enough to ensure Sato's recovery?
What does it mean?
Sato didn't hold Misaki for long because Su Qing was left standing to the side by the two of them.
She knelt down and wiped away her daughter's tears, then smiled through her tears:
"Sweetie, the doctor said that Mommy has been exercising and taking her medicine well lately, so she'll get better soon. You should focus on your studies and not sell flowers anymore, okay?"
Misaki choked up a little. She knew that taking medicine could only control the cancer, not cure it.
But she still obediently nodded.
The patient shouldn't have extreme emotional fluctuations, so she needs to be more obedient.
"I'm sorry, I lost my composure..."
"It's human nature, I can understand it."
Su Qing got up to say goodbye, and Sato and her daughter accompanied him all the way to the entrance.
Before leaving, he turned around and suddenly asked the mother a question.
"By the way, if it's convenient... could you tell me your name?"
"Eh...my name?" Sato blinked in surprise.
Although puzzled, he still replied:
"Sato Suzu."
"Lily of the valley bells?"
"Yes, that's the bell."
Su Qing was silent for a moment, then said, "I know an elder who also had cancer like you, but he had a very good attitude and lived to be over seventy years old."
After a pause, he smiled warmly:
"You will too."
Sato glanced at his daughter first, then said gratefully, "If that's really the case, that would be wonderful. Thank you for your blessing..."
Su Qing smiled and nodded. The moment she turned and stepped out of the room, the snow on the eaves slowly slid down, breaking on the rotten wooden steps and covering up some strange sound.
[Selection successful]
[The liver cancer of the target, Sato Rin, has been cured.]
[Payment in progress...]
[Current pollution level: 10%]
[？？？？？？？？]
……
……
Current pollution level: 5%
As expected... the extent of the increase is calculated based on the current state, and Su Qing only needs to refresh and overwrite it again and again using the Super Memory save file.
However, Su Qing only plans to do this bug-exploiting thing once.
Let's just consider it... a belated act of self-satisfaction.
Everything seems to be over. Let's go home.
Su Qing glanced at the time; it was exactly eight o'clock.
As I descended the stairs, Misaki's hurried voice came from behind, drowning out the tooth-grinding groans of the wooden steps.
"Wait, big brother!"
Seeing that Su Qing hadn't gone far, Misaki happily ran down, holding out a delicate little hand with several ten-thousand-yuan bills in it.
"I'm sorry! I shouldn't have lied to you, my older sister, and the others..."
Oh, right. This is the money my mother asked me to give you. There's a portion for that older girl in it. Could you please give it to her?
"Okay, I'll give it to her."
Su Qing put away the banknotes, thought for a moment, then squatted down, stroked the little girl's head, and said softly.
"Study hard, and don't lie anymore. Your mother won't be happy if she finds out. She's a patient now, and she can't get angry, understand?"
“I know…” Misaki lowered her gaze, her voice weak, “But… I don’t understand why you also tell me to study hard, big brother? Earning money isn’t just about studying.”
Su Qing lowered her hand and flicked Misaki's forehead.
"Ouch...! What are you doing?"
Misaki clutched her forehead in pain, looking at Su Qing with teary eyes.
She had just been crying; college students have no idea how to care for the young!
"Reading may not be the most suitable path, nor can it be the only path, but it is the best path that 99% of people can take. Do you understand?"
"Waaah... I don't understand?"
Misaki blinked, wondering if all college students spoke in such profound terms.
Si Guoyi!
But is it possible that she's just a poor student, and her most recent language test score was barely passing...?
"You'll understand when you're a little older, provided you remember what I said."
"When I grow up, will I be as smart as my older brother?"
Misaki asked excitedly.
"...Like me, that's a bit difficult."
Su Qing said very frankly.
Misaki's face immediately fell, and she complained, "Big brother, your skin seems a bit thick..."
Children always speak their minds without restraint, which is naive but also endearing.
Su Qing wasn't offended; he simply smiled and said:
"It's not too late to say this after you get into Sobu University in Tokyo, or a school of similar level."
"Hey... what if I get accepted?"
Misaki was only a first-year junior high school student. Although she had heard of Soubu University, she was still inexplicably confident.
It's similar to the confidence that "I just want to get into a 985 university in my first year of high school, a 211 university in my second year, and a first-tier university in my third year."
"Hehe, if you get accepted, I can personally sponsor your tuition for a year."
"Really? Big brother, you're such a nice person!"
"What's so great about it? By then I'll have graduated from school. Where will you find me? I might not even have graduated from that school myself..."
Su Qing said with a smile that she suddenly realized that Misaki was actually quite cute.
Hmm... being silly is also cute.
Misaki:0.o?

Chapter 344 Rescue
?
After going down the stairs, Su Qing inexplicably looked back at the old-fashioned apartment building, only to see Yukino, who shouldn't be there, standing in the shadows not far away.
She walked over slowly, her long black hair covered with fine snowflakes, like it was sprinkled with icing sugar.
"Yukishita?"
Su Qing was stunned. So the noise she heard inside the house just now was made by the other party?
He thought it was something like a stray cat.
Are you going back now?
The white mist exhaled by the girl drifted away in the neon lights.
"I'm not in a hurry, just say what you need to say."
"Then...can you walk around with me for a bit?"
"Okay, let's go."
"Thanks……"
Yukino raised her eyes, a faint smile appearing on her usually aloof face, like an early cherry blossom suddenly blooming on a snowfield.
……
?
The snow in Ginza was still falling, and it seemed it wouldn't stop until dawn the next day.
A park near Marunouchi Avenue.
The fluorescent light from the vending machine illuminated the park bench, and after the sound of the metal rollers turning, two steaming cans of MAX coffee appeared on the snow-covered surface of the bench.
"It's sweet, have some, it's on me."
Su Qing pushed the aluminum can with the palm tree pattern over, and water droplets immediately condensed on the surface of the can.
Yukino's finger, which was about to touch the can, suddenly stopped:
"It seems like this isn't the first time you've bought me a drink. Do you have some kind of obsession with buying drinks for people?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? You should be grateful that someone is treating you." Su Qing glanced at Yukino indifferently, tilted her head back and gulped down her hot drink, her Adam's apple bobbing slightly as she drank. "Didn't you already go back? Why did you come back again?"
“I borrowed a bag from the subway station and wanted to return these ten flowers to you. They are yours.”
Following Yukino's gaze, ten roses wrapped in a brown paper bag lay quietly on the edge of the bench, the snow slowly melting on the dark red petals.
"Just for this? Didn't I say I'd give it to you next time we meet?"
"I don't know why, but I have a feeling that if I don't give you the flowers by tonight, I will fail because of some unexpected events."
Yukino shook her head, then smiled and gently placed the flower into Su Qing's arms.
Your hunch was incredibly accurate...
Su Qing sighed inwardly. He had originally planned to simply say he didn't want the flowers.
After all, there's not much point in keeping it.
Forget it, I'll just keep it as an ornamental plant when I get back.
"The little girl asked me to give you the money."
Su Qing took out the banknotes, counted them, and deliberately shook them to make a sound.
"Your name is... Misaki, right?"
Yukino did not take the money immediately.
Su Qing glanced at Yukino and noticed the tiny shadows cast by the girl's eyelashes in the moonlight.
"Yes, did you hear everything outside?"
"I only heard a little bit..."
"How did you manage to find this place?"
