Chapter 163
Theresa is speechless. You call this good?
If this is considered good.
Then Theresa wouldn't know what "bad" means!
"Is the Student Support Head planning to find information about the brain?" Li Pu asked directly.
"I feel like you're not addressing me by my title properly, are you?" Theresa said angrily, her face stern. "Is your way of addressing me implying something sarcastic?"
"This is not a good thing! Even if you are Cecilia's reincarnation, you can't call me that!"
"Okay, Student Support Head, I understand," Li Pu said. "Can we not discuss this issue, Student Support Head?"
"You're still yelling," Theresa said angrily. "Fine, I'll let it go for now and not hold a grudge."
"If you ask me what I'm looking for..."
Theresa, however, said matter-of-factly, "That's right, I came here to find information about the brain."
"Oh..." Li Pu nodded and said, "Then there's no need to say anything more."
I know what you're trying to say.
"I only have one question," Li Pu said, scratching his head. "You guys..."
"How did you come to think I'm a brain expert?"
"It's not that I'm being modest, I really am not."
"After careful consideration, it has been decided," Theresa said without hesitation, "You are the expert."
"I'm really not," Li Pu said helplessly. "What are you thinking? How did I become an expert in this field?"
Although he knew MEI was very capable and intelligent, and that MEI had praised her professionally, there was no medical knowledge among the inherited memories he had so far! This wasn't some kind of modification project! This was treatment!
"Are you planning to play with Bronya's life?" Li Pu retorted. "Are you really that reckless?"
"Did they ask Bronya? Are they going to just say, 'We did our best,' when things get out of hand?"
"And then just act like nothing happened?"
"Or maybe they'll send him to the crematorium, have the whole village feast on him, and that's it?"
Li Pu was truly furious. He knew that Hyperion couldn't solve the problem. But did asking him mean he had a solution? Was he the solution?
"I knew it." Theresa said, seemingly unperturbed by Li Pu's attitude. "You still care about Bronya."
"After all, she's Bronya's mother."
"I'm not!" Li Pu's face immediately darkened.
"Okay, okay~ no, no." Theresa saw that Li Pu seemed to have been stepped on and instantly bristled, so she changed her tune and said, "Even if it's not Mom."
"But Bronya used to be on your team, and she didn't want to hurt you."
"That's why things have come to this point. Are you really unmoved?"
"This is not the Cecilia I know."
"And he's not the same person who would lift up a heavy wooden wardrobe that had collapsed for a girl he didn't even know."
Don't you really care?
Li Pu certainly wasn't like that, even knowing Bronya would be alright. As one of the Three Founding Families, she was destined to awaken. But could he really just remain indifferent?
Li Pu certainly didn't want things to turn out this way either.
Only...
"This time I really hit a blind spot." Li Pu shrugged and said, "I...I'm not a doctor."
MEI is not one of them either.
If Bronya were in the same situation as the Husky... no, I mean, the Vodka sisters, Li Pu would still dare to act. But Bronya's situation is different from theirs!
Li Pu really didn't dare.
"But it's not like there's no way out, right?" Theresa walked over with her hands behind her back and said, "Actually, you do have some solutions in mind."
"Right? Li-chan?"
"This..." Li Pu was about to push up his glasses again, but then he withdrew his hand.
Why can't I control this hand? I'm not wearing my glasses, so why do I keep pushing them up? Hmm, it must be because this is a lab.
If not, then it's because the system is sabotaging him.
"MEI," Theresa said, "Although I can't know everything, I do know a little bit."
"The most powerful brain of the last era!"
Although Mei has mistaken her mother for someone else and is determined not to change, Theresa is not as ignorant about the history of the previous era as Mei is.
Because of Otto!
Otto studied the events of the previous era, which naturally included his research on the Adversity Quotient (AQ) of the previous era.
Everyone has to go through one person.
This person is MEI!
Therefore, as someone close to Otto, Theresa naturally learned some things from Otto.
"..." Li Pu touched the bridge of his nose.
So, this is the reason?
Is it theoretically feasible?
Li Pu didn't know this, but MEI wasn't a doctor either, much less an expert in this field.
However, it's not entirely true that Li Pu completely helpless.
The system might have a solution.
For example, certain top-tier doctor roles.
But Li Pu hasn't gotten a chance to win a prize yet!
But it's not entirely without a solution, it's just that this method...
"Please!" Theresa suddenly bowed deeply and said, "Please, you must save Bronya! Even if it's not for the sake of her being your child."
"Please also consider that I was once your best friend."
"Cecilia! Please save Bronya."
PS: A new character is coming.
P. S.: You can guess what character it is.
Chapter 189 System, Your Little Secret
For Li Pu, there is the safest solution to Bronya's problem.
System!
This might be the safest solution, but will the system help?
That's hard to say.
He doesn't yet have a deep understanding of the system. What is the purpose of the system? What drives the system? He doesn't know these things, and without knowing them, he can't take targeted action.
"What should we do?"
Li Pu muttered to himself while holding his coffee.
He neither agreed nor refused outright.
Perhaps this could be an opportunity to test the limits of this system.
Li Pu quickly accessed his system interface.
"System, I want to..."
Li Pu had just opened his mouth.
"No, I don't want to, get out!"
The system sends a triple message.
"..." Li Pu was a little stunned by the system's triple punch. He hadn't even said anything yet. Why was he being bombarded with this three-part attack? Li Pu's expression immediately turned a little unpleasant as he said, "Do you know what I want to say?"
"You want a doctor role," the system said. "I know."
"And you also want to get a character for free."
What are your thoughts?
"You actually want to get it for free?"
The system was right this time; Li Pu wanted to get a character for free. Although he had ascended the Moonlight Throne, he hadn't received any rewards or titles.
So she really didn't have a chance to participate in the lottery.
"Is that not allowed?" Li Pu retorted. "Since you've already guessed it, I'm going to get one for free today."
"It has to work whether it works or not."
Why can't you get something for free?
He refused to believe he couldn't get something for free from the system again!
"What makes you think you can get something for nothing?" the system retorted angrily. "You rascal, you take advantage of every little thing you get."
"Heh, trying to get something for free?"
"Don't speak too confidently, little girl," Li Pu said with a sly smile. "Don't you want those puddings anymore?"
The system is suffocating.
In a place unknown to Li Pu, a little girl, with tears in her eyes, bit her handkerchief and said fiercely, "This guy! This guy is so terrifying, he's threatening me with pudding."
"This is simply... this is absolutely outrageous!"
All you can eat is pudding!
Those puddings!
"Smack!" Suddenly, a small, pink fist slammed into the little girl's head. The girl said with exasperation, "You idiot! Is Pudding all you see?"
"Of course not!" the little girl said confidently. "Luckily, she wasn't trading cantaloupes."
"I prefer cantaloupe to pudding, and I love strawberry cake."
"Like..."
"Clap clap clap clap~"
The girl, unable to bear the little girl's words any longer, thought, "What time is it? All you think about is food!" She said with exasperation, "Eat! Eat! Eat! All you ever think about is food!"
"If it weren't for the fact that you're my friend, I wouldn't care about you at all!"
"Don't you have any sense of crisis at all?"
"Yes," the little girl said, rubbing her bright red forehead, "There's no more pudding!"
"I!!!!"
The girl was so angry at the little girl's words that she couldn't speak. She raised her hand high, wanting to punch her. But after thinking about it for a long time, she decided against it.
It's truly a miracle that she's still alive!
"I should have given you the most basic template," the girl said irritably. "Someone like you is suited to opening a shop and selling things directly to transmigrators. Minimal losses are profits, and breaking even is a huge windfall. You still need to make a living..."
"Never mind." The girl decided to stop mocking the little girl.
"Don't you feel anything at all?"
A young girl asked, "Does she have some kind of secret?"
"How could he be?" The little girl waved her hand dismissively, saying, "This guy was specially chosen by me, he's not that smart."
"He doesn't have the intelligence!"
