After Complaining About the System, Did Mother and Baby Reward Level Up?
Although paternity test reports at other hospitals followed the same format, Zhang He couldn't argue. After all, the hospital belonged to Lin Yi's family!
Just then, a mechanical notification sounded in Lin Yi's mind.
[Ding! Super Dad System starting up] [Host: Lin Yi] [The system has detected that the host completed the task to perfection. A reward is being issued] [Temperature Perception has been granted]
In an instant, Lin Yi's hands measured the little one's temperature at 36.7 degrees. With this ability, he could check whether the baby had a fever at any time.
Sure enough, anything produced by the system was bound to be top quality.
Suddenly, Lin Yi had a bold idea. Using this to practice Iron Sand Palm would be awesome.
Before he could give it much thought, the system poured a bucket of cold water over him.
[Friendly reminder: the host's hands can precisely identify temperatures, but damage caused by touching excessively hot objects cannot be negated]
After hearing that, Lin Yi couldn't help but marvel at what a sneaky bastard the system was. So there was a bug!
Still, it was a good thing the system had warned him. Otherwise, there was no telling when his hands might have turned into roasted pig trotters!
Three hours had passed, and the baby was wriggling in Lin Yi's arms.
Her brows were tightly furrowed and her mouth was wide open, as though she might burst into tears the next second. Sure enough, the little one didn't disappoint.
"Wah... wahhh..." The baby immediately burst into tears, her loud cries ringing through the room.
Lin Yi hurried to comfort her. "There, there, baby. Daddy's here, Daddy's right here!"
Hearing the little one cry, Jiang Yuehua hurried in from outside. "My precious granddaughter, don't scare Grandma like that!"
"Son, what's wrong?"
"I don't know. She started crying as soon as she woke up."
Seeing the little one's face turn red from crying, Jiang Yuehua was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She hurriedly called Zhang He in. "Old Zhang, hurry and see what's wrong with my granddaughter!"
Zhang He came over and felt the little one, finding that she didn't have a fever. He checked her diaper, which was still dry, and immediately asked, "Has she not been given formula yet?"
"Oh, then she's hungry." Jiang Yuehua finally realized that the little one hadn't had a drop of formula in the past three hours.
Seeing his mother so flustered, Lin Yi shook his head with a wry smile, thinking, Looks like we really should find a professional nursery.
"Mom, let's go buy some formula. Your granddaughter's cries are getting weaker." Lin Yi urged Jiang Yuehua on, his heart aching as he looked down at the little one.
"I know." Jiang Yuehua quickly put the test results in her bag and ran over.
Zhang He and the hospital's senior staff ran behind them, escorting the pair. The relatives nearby saw this and thought something terrible had happened!
"Madam, young master, there's a mother and baby store across from the hospital." Zhang He spotted the sign ahead and called out to them.
"Got it."
After getting into the car, Jiang Yuehua told the driver to head for the mother and baby store across the street. Seeing how anxious they were, the driver stepped on the gas and took them over.
When they arrived at the store, Lin Yi rushed inside with the little one in his arms. The sales clerks greeting customers at the entrance were stunned to see him charging in.
Fortunately, Lin Yi was holding the little one. Otherwise, the clerks would surely have treated him like a robber.
Lin Yi hurriedly said to a sales clerk, "Where's the formula? I only want the good stuff, no matter the price."
The clerk was still shaken, but upon hearing that a sucker... no, a god of wealth had arrived, her eyes lit up and she hurriedly agreed.
"Certainly, sir. Please wait a moment. I'll get it right away."
The clerk hurried to the shelves and chose a high-quality formula with a high repeat-purchase rate. The main reason, though, was that the commission was high.
There was a water dispenser in the store. Jiang Yuehua grabbed the most expensive baby bottle, scalded it with boiling water, then prepared some warm water.
By now, the baby barely had the strength to cry. All Lin Yi could do was fret helplessly beside her.
"Baby, hang in there. Your food will be ready soon."
The clerk brought the formula over. The pull tab on the can was difficult to use, and in the end, Jiang Yuehua had to force it open.
After adding three scoops of formula, Jiang Yuehua put a drop on the back of her hand. Only when she felt that it wasn't hot did she dare put the bottle in the baby's mouth.
"My precious granddaughter, your formula is here."
"Gulp~ gulp~"
Sure enough, as soon as the bottle neared the little one's mouth, she stuck out her tongue to reach for it.
She must have been starving. The little one sucked hard.
The little one had only just turned one month old, and her appetite was still small. After ten-odd minutes, she spat out the bottle.
Lin Yi could tell at a glance that she was full.
With her belly full, the little one played in Lin Yi's arms, babbling away.
"Wah~"
"Hoo~"
"Wah~"
"Good girl, play by yourself for a little while. Daddy's going to buy you some food."
At the same time, the system's notification sounded right on cue again.
[Ding! Super Dad System starting up] [Host: Lin Yi] [The system has detected that the host is buying formula for the baby. A reward is being issued] [Mother and Baby Appraisal has been granted] [Reward description: the host can use this ability to distinguish between good and bad mother and baby products]
After hearing the system's explanation, Lin Yi was delighted. Wasn't this exactly what he needed? He had to admit, the system was truly thoughtful. Now he could avoid buying inferior products.
With a thought from Lin Yi, the Mother and Baby Reward ability appeared.
He first scanned the formula the baby had just drunk, and the word "safe" appeared in his mind.
Although the skill was very useful, it could only distinguish good from bad, not identify a product's nutritional value.
Oh well! It'll have to do!
Lin Yi nodded helplessly.
The system seemed to feel insulted and immediately spoke up.
[The system has detected the host's complaint and is upgrading the Mother and Baby Appraisal ability] [The upgraded version can display nutritional value and nutrient content]
Lin Yi was stunned when he heard the system. So he could do that?
In that case, Lin Yi spoke again.
"Mother and Baby Appraisal could be upgraded, so how about upgrading Temperature Perception too?"
[Does the host have a good reason for an upgrade? The system can consider it]
Lin Yi thought it over carefully. He really didn't seem to have one, and besides, he couldn't bring himself to stick his hands into a pot of oil.
But just then, the system came up with a good excuse for Lin Yi.
[If the host wants to roast chestnuts with Iron Sand Palm, it can be upgraded]
Hearing this, Lin Yi hurriedly refused. Better forget about that ability!
Although the ability had been upgraded, scanning them one by one was too troublesome. He might as well hear what the clerk recommended.
Lin Yi turned to the same clerk and said, "Please tell us about the formula."
"Certainly," the clerk replied with a smile.
"The can of formula I just brought over is called Jiabeier. It contains added lactoferrin, dual prebiotics, and immunoglobulins."
"It's produced at the golden latitude of forty-five degrees north."
"The main thing is, it's made right here in our own country, so the quality is guaranteed."
