Can't Take My Eyes Off You

C 108-109

The five abilities that could be enhanced as Moe had mentioned were the five options that appeared after clicking in the column for the Present Value, namely vision, hearing, physical strength, memory, and appearance.

Jiang Yao scanned through the Present Value with curiosity, only to discover negative numbers in all the columns except for appearance. Even appearance was scored pathetically at 35 points.

Probably sensing Jiang Yao's dissatisfaction, Moe giggled chicly and teased, "If you were in our Future Galaxy, a two-year-old can crush that appearance of yours."

"I have good eyesight and hearing!" Jiang Yao huffed annoyingly. How did the system decide that her appearance was only worthy of 35 points? She was very confident with her profile!

At five feet five, she was considered tall among the girls in the southern region. Even if she disregarded her figure, her looks could be classified as the classic female appearance, which was gentle and pleasant. How was it when it came to the system, she was only worth 35 points?

She had received a lot of compliments about her adorable and attractive good looks since she was young, okay?

Moe laughed out loud. "You won't know what is considered good until you use the Favorability Value to increase your vision and hearing abilities."

Moe was donning the 'I don't want to talk to mentally retarded people' expression.

"What? Do you mean that there's a possibility that I can have X-ray vision and supersonic hearing?" Jiang Yao was skeptical.

"It would only be greater than what you can imagine when the value reaches its peak." Moe nodded seriously. "I know you won't believe me no matter what I say now. Nonetheless, just try it out and see for yourself. One day, you'll know what kind of amazing gift I've given you!"

Jiang Yao was reluctant to continue the argument as she looked at the arrogant Moe turning his head away. Moreover, there was no unbind function in the system anyway, so she couldn't get rid of it now that it was hers.

When she was watching the introduction of the system, she had an epiphany that Moe was actually looking for a successor of his master's invention—whose current whereabouts he didn't know of. It was like he was leaving a memento of his master in this world even when his master had gone.

"Oh, right!" Mo lifted his head abruptly and shouted at Jiang Yao, "I almost forgot. The owner of the system will bear a certain restraint from the system. It has a pre-installed destruction program. Once you trigger it, the system will be automatically destroyed. And since the system is bound to your consciousness, you will lose your consciousness when the system undergoes self-destruction. At best, you'll be insane for the rest of your life. If worse comes to worst, you'll be in a vegetative state until you die."

Jiang Yao widened her eyes and arched her eyebrows in shock. No one would be happy to hear such news.

"What are the conditions that will trigger the self-destruction mode?" Jiang Yao asked.

"Good question." Moe glanced at Jiang Yao, stood up, and shook his body leisurely. "Human, relax. The condition is that you kill someone."

Jiang Yao sighed in relief. "Thank goodness." She was grateful that it was a high bar to cross.

However, as she looked at Moe's eyes the second time, she had the feeling that it wasn't that simple, after all.

Sure enough, after a short pause, Moe uttered slowly, "True, the condition is to murder someone regardless of the reason, even if your patient dies on the operating table due to medical malpractice. But if it's not due to an error on your part, you have nothing to do with the patient's death, and so, the destruction program will not be triggered."

"I'll give you an example. For instance, my enemy comes after me for revenge. He wants to kill me, so I stab him back in self-defense and he dies afterward. What happens then?" Jiang Yao asked.

"As soon as he or she dies, get ready to be mentally disabled or slump into a coma because one, you were the one to kill the person and two, it will automatically trigger the destruction program."

Jiang Yao was so agitated she wanted to jump on Moe and choke him. Moe hopped swiftly to the upper bunk and said, "Hey, hey, hey! Human! Wait a minute, I haven't finished yet, relax!"

"Okay, go ahead, I can listen as I strangle you, it! Doesn't! Bother! Me! At all!" Jiang Yao gritted her teeth as she lunged at him. "Look at how fast you run! I assume killing you will not trigger the destruction program."

"My goodness, your earth is always promoting sustaining a harmonious society, isn't it? It's no nice to be so cranky!" Moe ejected his claws and waved them around. "Why are humans so cruel nowadays? They get angry when they learn that they can't kill. Human, this is bad behavior."

"I beg your pardon, who wants to be a murderer? Who knows what will happen next? What can I do when a robber comes at me? I can't even fight back, can I?" Jiang Yao stomped her feet indignantly. "You can't be too careful!"

"That's why you need a self-defense ability so that you can avoid being trapped when you are in danger." Moe hopped back to Jiang Yao's side. "Furthermore, you're a girl. Even if you have enemies in the future, why do you have to resort to killing them? There are plenty of methods to push your enemies into a living hell if you want to get your revenge. Let me reveal some secrets to you—there are a lot of 'recipes' in the pharmaceutical collection for your reference! Another way is to hire a bodyguard to protect you. When you become a top dog, you don't have to do everything on your own, am I right?"

Jiang Yao jolted in placidity at Moe's remarks. He was right, she didn't have to resort to physically violent and brutal ways to get back at someone. There were many combinations of drugs that she could use in the pharmaceutical collection.

Besides, she seemed to comprehend some extra information from Moe's remarks.

"Moe, since the Medical System is so powerful, if I really become a top dog in the field of medicine, I will stumble upon a different fate in the future, won't I? What if an unscrupulous villain threatens me at gunpoint to treat him? What do you say? Do I treat him or not? If it pursues to the point where it's either he or I die, I'm done for, am I not?"

Jiang Yao scooped Moe up and put him in front of her. She plastered a smile on a face, a rather intimidating one.

"If I'm not mistaken, your description earlier means that it's irrelevant to me as long as I don't do it with my own hands. So, if I order someone else to execute the villain, will it trigger the destruction program?"

Moe stared silently at Jiang Yao with his large bell-like eyes. Jiang Yao smirked and let him go.

After rebirth, Jiang Yao had no other aggressive ambitions other than to live happily ever after with Lu Xingzhi. Frankly speaking, her only ambition was to change the destiny of the people she cared about and hope that they could live well too.

The Medical System seemed redundant to Jiang Yao for the time being. Based on her academics and working experience for more than a decade before rebirth, she could be an excellent doctor if she was willing to work hard with the previously obtained knowledge.

However, her lack of greed and desire didn't indicate that she would ignore the invisible bomb that was embedded in her body right now. She could at least rest assured now that she learned the system wouldn't mess with her entirely.

Looking at Moe who had appeared out of nowhere, Jiang Yao speculated that he had been following her from the moment he knew she could understand him, and he finally got the opportunity to appear before her today.

Nonetheless, it would be a piece of cake for her to be a good doctor thanks to her years of experience in her previous life and also as an excellent medical student.
