Chapter 146 Its Host with a Not-Quite-Healed Brain (Revised)

Bai Nuo took a shaky leap and dodged another mud puddle. It seemed to have rained a bit in the first half of the night, making the dirt roads in the countryside even more difficult to walk on. No matter how good her night vision was, her eyes were still human eyes, not night vision goggles. In the pitch black, not falling was her last act of defiance.

"A-Tong, what are you doing? Why are you suddenly so quiet? Talk to me! I can hear you pressing the system tablet. What are you buying behind my back again?"

The little system was about to impulsively place an order when it suddenly stopped, its expression full of hesitation.

It wasn't that she was reluctant to part with those exorbitant points, but rather that she was unsure whether, if discovered that she was secretly using the [Advanced Treatment Device for Brain Damage, Cerebral Palsy, Dementia, and Brain Collapse] on her, she would smash the entire treatment device on its head.

"Nono, are you really alright? Does your head hurt? Are you dizzy? Do you still know how to calculate function integrals? Do you still know how to operate a gun?"

The system realized something was wrong as soon as it finished asking the question, and quickly said, "No, no, even if you were brain-dead, you would know these things. I should have asked, 'Do you know what the line 'Chirp chirp chirp, Mulan weaves at the door' means?'"

"Are you crazy? I don't know anything about this!"

Bai Nuo stomped forward a few steps in a huff, her bias towards one subject perfectly justified.

Although she never went to school in her previous life, she was raised by top university professors and grew up in a research institute. She knew a lot of things, except for humanities. Apart from a few foreign languages ​​and art-related subjects like painting, fashion design and production, she was basically useless in everything else, especially classical poetry and prose. She would fall asleep as soon as she looked at them, more so than any sleeping pills.

She clearly has an exceptional memory, practically photographic, but when her teacher, bored out of her mind, shows her ancient poems and classical Chinese texts with annotations, she just can't get into it. Isn't that amazing?

Fortunately, her previous life had already entered the apocalyptic era, and those things were completely useless, otherwise... her teacher would probably be experiencing what it's like to have a bungee jump every day.

The system suddenly felt relieved and completely withdrew its little finger that had been pointing. It realized that its host's brain was still the same one it had in its previous life.

It's fine now that it's crashed!

Is it fully healed? Not fully healed, because it wasn't fully healed to begin with, so no treatment device will likely be of any use!

Its host's brain was missing a few wires to begin with, and it can't be fully repaired, it really can't be fully repaired!

To put it simply: smart, but not very smart!

"A-Tong, why are you silent again? Are you thinking about me in your mind?"

"No, I didn't! How could I? Ah Tong loves Host Nuonuo the most!"

"Hmph, that's more like it, damn it..."

Bai Nuo walked forward with an arrogant expression, so much so that she forgot to watch where she was going. She stepped on a broken wooden plank, her leg twisted, and she fell into a mud pit next to her with a "bang".

And... it looks like he fell in headfirst!

"Holy crap, host, host, are you alright? Are you still alive? You didn't smash your brain again, did you?"

The system immediately went invisible and flew away, anxiously pacing around as it saw its host lying headfirst in the pit, motionless.

“Host, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. Ah Tong is here, we’re not afraid. Even if your brain is damaged, it’s okay. Ah Tong will buy you a treatment device. Make a sound, can you still move? I’ll pull you up, I’m coming to pull you up right now.”

The little system flapped its mechanical wings and swooped down, finally stopping behind Bai Nuo's head. It was a little unsure of what to do, but finally gritted its teeth, closed its eyes, grabbed the little tuft of hair tied on its host's head with both hands, turned its little body around, and carried the tuft of hair on its own shoulder, cheering itself up while also comforting its host.

"Heave-ho, heave-ho!"

"Don't be afraid, host. I've grabbed you and I'll pull you up right now."

"Heave-ho, heave-ho!"

"Hey you, let go of me! My scalp is about to explode!" Bai Nuo stiffly raised his arm and growled through gritted teeth.

Is she unable to move?

She's just ashamed!

I want to lie down for a while, I even want to die!!!

She hadn't been this humiliated in over a decade!

"Holy crap, they're back!"

The system suddenly looked up at the pitch-black west side, then turned around and pounced on its host, returning directly to the system space.
