From Sidekick to Bigshot

Chapter 57: Different from Expectations

Qin Chuan watched the end game screen for quite a while before he asked, “Have you played this game before?”

Jian Yiling shook her head.

This was the first time she played this game. However, she had played other shooting games before.

Like any good shooter game, the handling of the gun was very realistic. There would be a recoil along with the drop of the bullet.

The game ‘Zerg Invasion’ created by Jian Yuncheng’s business was just like that.

Although it was Jian Yiling’s first time playing this game, she quickly got used to it. She was familiar with playing other shooting games.

Qin Chuan didn’t know what to say for quite a while.

Jian Yiling appeared to look quiet. However, when she was playing the game, her actions were ruthless, precise, and accurate. Her APM was incredibly high as well.

If you were to just look at the character in the game, you would definitely not imagine that the person sitting opposite the computer screen was a quiet girl.

After Jian Yiling played a match, she returned the computer to Qin Chuan.

“You’re not playing another match?”

Jian Yiling shook her head.

For her, playing the game was not leisure time. Rather, it was to complete a mission – a mission that her grandma had given her.

Qin Chuan had an inexplicable sense of frustration.

Jian Yiling was quite different from his expectations.

After that, Qin Chuan saw Jian Yiling open her own laptop. She pulled out some study material and exercises.

As he couldn’t do anything else, he once again sat opposite to Jian Yiling.

While he waited for Jian Yiling to ask him a question, Qin Chuan took the time to communicate with his mother’s physician.

[Dr. Zheng, please take care of my mother. I’ll prepare the money needed as soon as possible.]

Qin Chuan’s mother had been hospitalized for quite some while. Recently, her health condition had been deteriorating.

[It’s not only a matter about money. At this hospital, we can only take conservative medical practices. If you want to cure her completely, you need to contact the Huiling Medical Research Institution that I suggested last time. Did you manage to contact them?]

The doctor had tried his best. However, there was a limit to his abilities.

[I’ve tried to contact them. However, they still haven’t replied to me.]

[You can’t blame them. There are hundreds and thousands of patients that try to contact them every single day. If there aren’t special circumstances, they usually don’t reply. ]

[Could you send me the address of the Huiling Medical Institution? I want to visit them.]

[I can give you the address. But even if you go, you can’t achieve much. You can’t enter the gates.]

Qin Chuan looked at the screen and was silent for a moment. Slowly, he began to type a reply: [But I still have to try. I am willing to pay any price as long as I can save my mother.]

Jian Yiling who sat opposite to him was also replying to her messages.

[Dr. F.S, you still remember that we have an appointment tomorrow afternoon right?]

[Yep.]

[The QR code that I sent you is valid for a week. If you have any questions, you can contact me directly. You can also contact me before you arrive and I’ll wait for you at the door.]

[It’s fine. I won’t trouble you.]

[No worries. Let’s talk more tomorrow afternoon.]

The other person Jian Yiling was communicating to was a young man in his twenties. Standing behind him was an old professor. The professor had gray hair.

“How is it?” The professor asked.

“There’s no problem. He said that he will be here tomorrow afternoon.”

The person who was responsible for contacting Jian Yiling was Cheng Yi. He was the professor’s favorite pupil.

“Okay. Confirm with him again tomorrow morning. You must make sure that he can come over,” the professor emphasized.
