CHAPTER 445: CHAPTER 445: JI THE MISERABLE

Third-level disability?

How is a third-level disability defined in the interstellar era?

I’ve become a third-level disabled person? When did this happen? Why were there no signs at all? Ji You felt so awful and distressed that she couldn’t even find the right words to describe her feelings.

The rescue robot said, "Student Ji You, a third-level disability is not something to delay. Please receive treatment immediately."

Ji You: "..."

These words, "third-level disability," why do they sound so distressing to her?

But Ji You still held back her objections, hastily saying, "Thank you, rescue person, sir. Please treat me quickly."

The rescue robot said, "I’m sorry, my built-in technology can’t provide aid to you. You need to go to a proper medical room for treatment. Now, please get on the stretcher."

The Alliance’s rescue robots were very convenient and user-friendly. Ji You was unable to move, and the robot had a stretcher built into its body. Once unfolded, Ji You was lifted onto it without having to move an inch...

Then—

The door to her dormitory opened, and just as Ji You was about to be wheeled out, she bumped into Sheng Qingyan who was about to knock on the door.

Sheng Qingyan: "..."

Sheng Qingyan’s eyelids twitched as he asked, "You poor dead, what happened to you?"

Before Ji You could answer, the rescue robot kindly responded, "After assessment, Student Ji You has become a third-level disabled person and needs to go to the medical room immediately for rescue treatment."

Sheng Qingyan: "!!!"

Ji You: "..."

Sheng Qingyan couldn’t believe his own ears and exclaimed in shock, "Third-level disability?"

The voice was really piercing. Ji You quickly said, "You heard right, please make way, I need to go for treatment now."

Shocked as if he had been struck by lightning, Sheng Qingyan subconsciously stepped aside.

Then—

The rescue robot continued to expand, in the blink of an eye turning into a small Flying Device, and in a moment flew out of the dormitory building.

Sheng Qingyan: "Wait up!!!"

"What the! You haven’t explained the reason for turning into a disabled person..."

"Why are you leaving already..."

...

At this moment, Ji You was barely able to take care of herself, let alone have the mood to explain to Sheng Qingyan the reason for her injury.

After being placed on the stretcher, the rescue robot, which had transformed into a small Flying Device, flew at high speed and reached the school’s medical room in less than 5 minutes without any obstructions.

Outside the door.

Dr. Luo was already waiting. Her usually calm, gentle, and approachable face occasionally flickered with hints of anxiety. Only when she saw Ji You’s rescue robot arriving did her tense expression slightly relax.

The hatch opened, revealing Ji You’s figure.

Upon seeing her, Dr. Luo’s face darkened slightly, but she said nothing.

Ji You felt as if she had seen a family member and almost wished she could cling to Dr. Luo’s leg, eager for her to check her body right away, "Dr. Luo, Yingyingying, I feel like except for my mouth, all other parts of my body are paralyzed, what should I do..."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Luo said irritably, "Stop your nonsense, lie down properly."

Ji You obediently lay down.

Shortly after, Dr. Luo pushed Ji You into the examination chamber, and with various tubes and scanning rays... her body was being checked continuously. About half an hour later, the examination finally came to a complete stop.

Dr. Luo held the test results, his face already pitch-black: "What in the world have you done to your body? You’ve suffered third-level damage, with severe organ damage throughout your body..."

And it wasn’t over yet.

Dr. Luo continued, "The current result is that your Physical Strength, which had only recently been upgraded to D-level, has now fallen back to E-level. If it’s not repaired immediately, it could result in permanent damage."

Ji You: "!!!"

Ji You, with a gaping mouth: "No... That’s impossible, isn’t it?"

How could it be so serious?

Dr. Luo glared at her impatiently, his expression looking very unpleasant, and said, "There’s even more desperate news. Do you want to hear it?"

Ji You wished she could cover her ears as she said, "I don’t want to hear it! I don’t want to hear it! I don’t want to hear it!"

But Dr. Luo didn’t care and went straight on, "Not only that, but your spiritual power has also suffered significant damage. Although the level hasn’t dropped, the spiritual power threshold you could contain at D-level is currently less than one-third of the original."

Ji You: "..."

Dr. Luo said, "This is not a good thing. You were fine before, already a disabled person, and I’m ’honored’ to congratulate you, you’re now the disabled of the disabled. In short, doubly disabled!"

Ji You: "..."

Ji You took a deep breath, her face full of grievance: "Teacher... this isn’t funny at all."

Dr. Luo raised an eyebrow and said, "You think I’m joking with you?"

Ji You with a bitter face: "I wish you were joking with me."

Dr. Luo’s face serious, he said, "Under the same conditions, other people with D-level spiritual power can reach a threshold value above 5000. You were originally around 1500, and now it’s not even 500. Does that sound funny to you?"

Ji You: "..."

Ji You was close to tears: "It’s not funny."

Dr. Luo, with his arms folded, said, "So, can you tell me what kind of foolish thing you’ve actually done to yourself?"

Ji You, in a pitiful tone, said, "I... I did a little research on my spiritual power in private."

Should she directly say that she made 9 Soul Devices in one night?

That was too horrifying.

Others couldn’t make one in a year, yet she made nine in one night. If that got out, it would shock the whole world!

And there was more—

She had too many secrets, like crossing over, the Iron Plate, Xiao You... especially Xiao You, who had become Ji You’s weak spot. Without being able to ensure Xiao You’s absolute safety, Ji You could only trust in herself.

"Yo~" Dr. Luo, upon hearing Ji You’s words, quirked an eyebrow, "You certainly have a spirit of in-depth research, daring to carry out private research on your own spiritual power. Tsk tsk..."

"Admirable!" After uttering these two words, Dr. Luo immediately said, "Be honest, give a detailed account of how you conducted research on yourself."

Ji You thought for a while and managed to come up with a set of excuses for herself, uncertain whether Dr. Luo would believe her after hearing them.

Dr. Luo listened but didn’t say much, then asked more questions about her body, and after Ji You replied, Dr. Luo pondered for a moment and said, "The repair of your Physical Strength is actually quite easy to solve. I’ll write you a prescription later, for internal and external use. I reckon it’ll be better in a day or two."

Ji You’s eyes brightened at the news: "Is it really that easy?"

After all, her Physical Strength had dropped an entire level. It had to be said, the medical technology of the interstellar era was truly powerful.

Dr. Luo rolled his eyes, annoyed: "Your muscles, meridians, and blood flow have all expanded when you were upgraded to D-level; now, they’re just damaged. As long as you repair the damage, of course, it will be easy to return to D-level."

Having said that, Dr. Luo slightly paused, slightly stretching out the tone, "However—"

Ji You’s face immediately soured.

She knew there would be another ’however’.
