Chapter 79: Period?
“Delivery for Yanzu.”
“Coming.”
With a thoughtful look, An Han opened the door, took the food, and went back to his desk. He rested his chin on one hand and stared at the system screen in front of him.
The loophole got fixed so fast?!
And last time, even when I used a loophole, I didn’t get anything good! Why won’t it let me use it now?
Terrible user experience!
What does “forced execution” even mean? Like when someone refuses to pay their debts and the court forces them?
Could the system actually force me to wear women’s clothes?
Even though An Han thought it was unlikely, he still didn’t dare try anything. That system was a sneaky dog, always finding strange ways to mess with him.
Feeling lifeless, he opened his food, took out the iced cola, and drank several big gulps. He narrowed his eyes in comfort, leaned back in his chair, and kept thinking about which task he should choose.
Maybe I should wait until the countdown ends?
His eyes moved to the countdown at the bottom of the system window.
Every time a mission appears, he gets one minute to think. But what happens if he doesn’t choose anything within those sixty seconds?
He rubbed the bridge of his nose in frustration.
Will it pick a task at random? Or will there be a punishment?
Either way, he didn’t like it.
The system was smarter this time. Originally, An Han planned that if he ever got another women’s clothing mission, he would just hide the outfit under a jacket and stay in the dorm or a hotel. But this mission specifically required wearing it outside and going out in public.
Who could survive that?!
Within a minute, he finished the whole large bottle of iced cola. He burped, saw that the countdown was almost over, and was forced to give in.
Fine… I’ll take an attribute point. Maybe I’ll get something like “intelligence,” “strength,” or “wealth,” right?
He was just about to choose when he suddenly felt a twisting pain slowly rise from his lower belly.
At first it wasn’t very strong, but the pain quickly grew worse, within seconds, it became sharp and intense.
His face turned pale from the pain, and his lips trembled. “Did I… eat something bad?”
Before he could confirm that guess, his eyes fell on the reward for option two:
[Option 2: Wear a cheongsam outside for one full day. Reward: Painless period trait]
A very bad thought appeared in his mind.
No way… a period?!
Why else would there be a reward like a painless period trait?
And the timing was way too perfect!
This must mean the system already knew I was about to get a period, so it showed this reward on purpose, right?!
But I’m a grown man… How could I possibly get a period, something so high-level?!
“An Han?” Wang Sheng noticed something was wrong. “Are you sick?”
“My stomach hurts…”
“That’s what you get for drinking iced cola every day.” Wang Sheng grabbed a roll of toilet paper from his drawer and put it on the table. “The bathroom is out of paper.”
“……”
Choose… option two!
There was no time left to think. Right before the countdown ended, An Han finally made up his mind.
The next second, he collapsed on his desk like he had lost all hope, staring blankly at the computer screen.
Please… I hope my guess is just a guess.
He rubbed his still-aching lower belly and prayed that he was just overthinking it, that the system was tricking him with coincidences. But when he thought about the possibility that it might be real, and that he might never be able to drink cola or anything cold again, he felt even worse.
And also—also!
He was a normal grown man!
How could he possibly have something like a period?!
Suddenly, he straightened up, endured the sharp pain, and ran toward the bathroom.
Half an hour later, An Han came out of the bathroom with shaky legs, ready to go out.
“Where are you going?”
“To the hospital… My stomach hurts really bad.”
Don’t believe the system’s nonsense. Just go to the hospital and get checked.
If the hospital says it’s food poisoning…
Well, considering how he threw up and had diarrhea just now, it was possible.
If that’s the case, then the system is truly evil, using a useless reward and some coincidence to trick him into wearing a cheongsam. And he has to wear it outside in public! And it even patched the exploit so he can’t hide indoors. If he doesn’t do the task, it will force him!
You dog system!
He hurried out of the room and into the hallway, checking nearby hospitals on his phone while enduring the pain that felt like a meat grinder turning inside his stomach.
In the past few years, besides the health check for the college entrance exam, he had never gone to a hospital at all.
But now he had no choice.
“Three kilometers… Not too far…”
But going to a hospital, ever since he was young, he always went with family members. He had never gone to a hospital alone, not even once. He didn’t even know the basic steps for seeing a doctor.
And the pain was so strong that he was scared he might not even make it halfway there.
Frowning tightly, he took only two steps forward before losing courage. He turned around and knocked on the door of the dorm next door.
“Dongming… come with me to the hospital…” He opened the door weakly, his voice very soft.
“I’m gaming! You haven’t played games with me at all lately, what are you even busy with?” Wu Dongming sat at his computer without looking back.
But Su Peng, who sat beside him, glanced at An Han, only for a second, before jumping up in shock. His voice was full of worry.
“What’s wrong with you?!”
Right now, An Han’s face was pale, his lips had no color, his body leaned weakly on the doorframe, his legs trembling slightly. He had no energy at all, curling in on himself naturally. His eyes were filled with tears, looking pitiful and fragile.
Su Peng rushed forward to support him. “You’re going to the hospital now?!”
“Mm…”
“What happened?”
Even Wu Dongming finally turned around and was also startled by how bad An Han looked.
“Dongming, you stay in the dorm. I’ll go with him.”
Before Wu Dongming could react, Su Peng had already helped An Han out the door.
Hey! I came here to find Wu Dongming! Why are you getting involved?!
An Han quickly looked back, but Wu Dongming simply nodded casually.
“Alright. I haven’t finished my game anyway.”
Is your friend more important, or the stupid game?!
He was also worried about Su Peng’s affection level toward him. He only planned to ask Wu Dongming because he trusted him more, but now Su Peng was taking him away instead.
“Call the counselor… Let him come too.”
If Wu Dongming wasn’t coming, then bringing Counselor Ren Chi was fine. An Han trusted Ren Chi.
“The counselor? Sure.” Su Peng supported his weak legs and frowned. “What exactly is wrong with you?”
“My stomach hurts really bad… and I feel dizzy… and a little nauseous.”
Su Peng hurriedly ordered a car online, then called Ren Chi. “Don’t worry, I—”
“The counselor isn’t picking up.”
He glanced at An Han again, and since he didn’t know what illness it was, his mind automatically jumped to the worst possibilities.
This time, he didn’t hesitate. He bent down, hooked an arm under An Han’s legs, and lifted him up in a princess carry, running toward the dorm entrance.
“!!!”
An Han was stunned, his mind blank. But the pain left him with no strength to struggle.
I’m finished.
Tomorrow I’m going to be the number one gossip topic among all the students!
