"Given your condition, you should prepare for amputation!"
At Eastsea City's top-tier hospital, a man wearing a Haku coat looked at Wu An and coldly delivered the verdict.
"Oh, and go pay the amputation fee later. Don't delay!"
"Otherwise, suffer the consequences yourself!"
The Haku-coated man shook his head, his tone full of contempt!
In his eyes, Wu An was just a cripple about to lose a limb!
He was not even worth a second glance!
Amputation?
Wu An's expression changed.
He had never expected this to be the outcome awaiting him!
"Doctor, is there any other treatment?"
Wu An clenched his fists and could not help asking.
If there was a choice,
who would be willing to undergo amputation?
"There is, but can you afford the enormous cost?"
"Believe me, amputation is the best choice for you!"
The Haku-coated man said impatiently.
He had seen far too many people like Wu An!
Always indulging in wishful thinking!
But what were the facts?
Reality was cruel!
You did not even have the chance to choose!
The young nurse beside them looked at Wu An sympathetically!
What a handsome young man!
Sadly, he was about to lose a limb!
Thinking of that, the nurse felt even more regretful!
"Fine, I understand!"
Wu An gave the Haku-coated man a deep look.
The Haku-coated man was suddenly speechless under Wu An's gaze!
Because he suddenly realized that Wu An's reaction was different from that of ordinary patients!
When ordinary patients learned they were about to undergo amputation, their reactions were always intense!
Madness!
Disbelief!
Unwillingness!
The Haku-coated man had seen all of those reactions!
But what about Wu An?
All he saw in Wu An's eyes was calmness!
Without a ripple!
Like an abyss!
That stunned the Haku-coated man!
Even the mocking words he had been about to say were swallowed back down!
"Take care of yourself!"
After leaving those words behind, the Haku-coated man actually fled in panic!
As if he did not dare remain beside Wu An any longer!
Wu An showed no reaction to this and continued to lie quietly against the hospital bed!
If it had been a year ago,
when the Wu Family still existed,
would a mere doctor have dared speak to him like that?
Young Master Wu would have been sent to a top VIP ward long ago, with all sorts of professors and specialists waiting at his side!
A year ago,
the Wu Family had been one of Eastsea City's four great top-tier families!
Its power had reached the heavens!
And Wu An, as the eldest young master of the Wu Family!
He had been one of Eastsea City's most exalted young masters!
That same year!
The Wu Family collapsed!
The Wu Commercial Empire vanished like a dream bubble!
And Young Master Wu fell straight from the clouds into the mud!
He could only barely survive in Eastsea City!
"Who exactly made a move against the Wu Family!"
Wu An took a deep breath and shook his head with a bitter smile.
What was the use of thinking about such things now?
Even if he learned who the mastermind was, could Wu An take revenge and rebuild the Wu Family?
What a joke!
Ring, ring, ring...
Just then, Wu An's phone suddenly rang.
Wu An opened his phone and accepted the video call.
At once,
an image appeared on the phone screen!
The first thing that came into view was an exquisitely beautiful young girl!
She was stunningly pretty and wore pink pajamas, as though she had stepped out of an anime.
At that moment, she blinked her large eyes at Wu An.
"Big Brother, when are you coming back? Nini is hungry..."
The girl pouted pitifully.
"I'll be back soon!"
Wu An pretended that nothing was wrong and replied casually.
Nini was the girl in the video!
She and Wu An were not related by blood!
A year ago, when the Wu Family declined!
Wu An found the filthy Nini in a garbage dump!
When he saw Nini then, his heart softened, and he adopted her!
Over the past year,
Wu An had endured endless ridicule and mockery!
If Nini had not always been there to encourage him,
Wu An truly did not know whether he would still have had the courage to keep living!
"Okay, Big Brother. Nini will be good!"
Nini replied obediently!
After ending the video call, Wu An's spirits lifted!
"No matter what, I have to keep trying to live!"
"So what if I lose a limb?"
"Does amputation mean I can't live?"
"Not only will I live, I'll live brilliantly!"
"I'll let everyone who looked down on me this past year know that I, Wu An, am not only alive—I'm living well!"
Wu An's expression suddenly became free and easy!
As though he had seen through everything!
Suddenly,
"Ding..."
A crisp sound rang beside Wu An's ear!
"Host detected!"
"Binding process beginning!"
"Binding successful!"
"Congratulations, Host, on successfully binding with the Myriad Worlds Big Shot System!"
Wu An's expression stiffened!
What?
What was going on?
A system?
Wu An had once been obsessed with web novels, so he naturally knew what a system was!
"That's right. This system will assist the Host in traveling through the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Worlds, becoming the strongest big shot!"
"The worlds traveled to will be random: martial arts worlds, high martial worlds, novel worlds, anime worlds, movie worlds... and even supreme origin worlds!"
"The Host will cross paths with the protagonists of various worlds. Complete the missions issued by the system to receive rewards!"
"Rewards include talents, skills, bloodlines, treasures, even memories, and more!"
Holy shit!
Wu An suddenly came to his senses!
A deep excitement appeared on his face!
This was unbelievable!
The Myriad Heavens and Myriad Worlds?
Other than Earth, did the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Worlds truly exist?
"In one minute, the system will help the Host travel to the world of 'The Outcast'!"
The Outcast?
Wu An froze for a moment!
He liked this anime very much!
He had once stayed up all night and watched it dozens of times!
He knew every character and plot in the anime by heart!
But he had never imagined that he would have a chance to visit that world!
"One minute?"
"But in my current condition, even walking is difficult. How am I supposed to complete missions?"
Wu An grew anxious!
He suddenly remembered that his body was in terrible shape!
Even the doctor had recommended amputation!
"Rest assured. As the system's first Host, the system will fully repair your body once!"
Buzz!
Wu An suddenly felt a warm current rise within his body!
In just ten seconds!
Wu An discovered that his severely injured leg, which had long since lost all feeling, could suddenly move again!
Not only that!
Wu An also felt strength filling every part of his body!
Amazing!
This feeling was unbelievably amazing!
Wu An nearly cried out!
"System, begin. I'm ready!"
Wu An flipped over and leaped down from the hospital bed.
"Ding..."
"Please proceed to the rooftop!"
Without hesitation, Wu An left the ward and arrived at the rooftop!
"Please keep walking forward!"
The system's prompt sounded!
Following the system's instructions, Wu An walked straight to the edge of the rooftop!
The cold wind cut to the bone!
Wu An lowered his head and looked at the ground hundreds of meters below!
"Please continue walking forward!"
The system prompt sounded again!
"Heh..."
Wu An chuckled softly, without a trace of fear!
He took a step forward, stepping onto thin air!
His entire body fell from the top of the several-hundred-meter-high building!
Suddenly,
A seven-colored passageway appeared beneath Wu An!
Whoosh!!!
Wu An vanished from the real world!
At the same time,
The anxious little nurse chased him to the rooftop!
"Where did that handsome young man go?"
"The doctor's suggestion of amputation... couldn't have made him lose all hope, could it?!"
When the little nurse saw Wu An heading for the rooftop earlier, she hurried after him.
"Ah?!!"
The moment she reached the rooftop, she saw Wu An jump off it!
"Please calm down..."
The little nurse cried herself hoarse.
But when she reached the edge and looked down, she was instantly dumbfounded!
"Th-this... where is he?"
"Where did he go?"
The little nurse's scalp went numb!
She had personally seen Wu An jump from this very spot just now!
But now, he was gone?
Even if he had really jumped, there should at least have been a body, right?
Yet the little nurse discovered in terror that there was no trace of Wu An at all!
It was as if he had vanished into thin air!
"Th-this is impossible!!!"
"In broad Haku-daylight, did I run into a ghost?"
The little nurse felt a chill run down her back, cold sweat pouring from her body!
