Chapter 47: You Call This a Grand Gesture of Gratitude?
Page 1/3
Bulletproof vests and helmets would be one thing, but what on earth was the point of a riot control vehicle? Were fragile university students really worth deploying such heavy equipment for? Netizens in the livestream chat were buzzing with comments.
“Some people look like school principals on the surface but actually want to act like commanding officers.”
“Agricultural University is terrifying—no one will dare apply there from now on, right?”
“Not necessarily. Some hardcore straight-shooting guys love this kind of tough university vibe; maybe even more will apply.”
“Director Wu is truly the godfather of Agricultural University students. If he falls ill one or two more times, I don’t even want to imagine what the university will turn into!”
“I heard the sports clubs at Agricultural University already have professional medical teams stationed, and the city hospital is even considering building a new medical building on campus.”
Watching the comments, Wu Bin felt that Agricultural University was becoming more and more absurd. How annoying! He really didn’t want to go back and be locked up again.
With that thought, Wu Bin turned to Xu Wenyao and said, “Principal, I’d like to request sick leave.”
“Hm?”
Xu Wenyao looked puzzled.
“Aren’t you already on sick leave right now?”
“No, Principal. I want to use this time to get out and take a walk, clear my mind.”
“Dean Lu said traveling would help with my recovery.”
In the office, Lu Changshi, who had been drinking tea and watching the livestream, choked and coughed abruptly.
When had he ever said such a thing? That lying scoundrel just spits nonsense without a second thought!
Xu Wenyao didn’t respond immediately but began to think. Wu Bin had been running into all sorts of accidents at school lately. Though each time he managed to ride the wave and push reforms, honestly, his body was starting to give out. Especially since Wu Bin’s illnesses were getting worse each time.
The moment he saw Wu Bin covered with a white cloth this time, Xu Wenyao felt as if his own son had died. He was utterly exhausted.
“Going out to relax sounds good, but you must be careful.”
“Tell me, how long do you want off? Would a month be enough?”
Wu Bin’s mouth twitched. This old guy basically wanted him to die out there, didn’t he?
“No need for that long, Principal. I think a week should suffice.”
Xu Wenyao shook his head seriously. “Since it’s to relax, you need enough time. How about we meet halfway? I’ll approve you for half a month’s leave, and the school will cover your travel expenses.”
“Relax properly, and don’t rush back.”
Alright, now it was confirmed: this old man really hoped he’d die outside.
After a brief chat, Xu Wenyao finished peeling an apple, waved goodbye to Wu Bin, and left the ward munching on the fruit.
Wu Bin thought bitterly, Fine, fine, that’s how it is with hospital visits!
This Principal Xu is a tough nut to crack.
As Wu Bin pondered this, a system alert sounded in his mind.
Ding.

[Congratulations, host. You have successfully cured one illness and earned 200 Life Coins.]
[A new illness has been prepared for you. Please choose.]
[Please make your choice within ten minutes; otherwise, the system will randomly assign an illness for you.]
Two hundred Life Coins this time? Could it be that the amount of Life Coins wasn’t related to the severity of the disease but to the level of pain?
If that’s the case, the system is playing a cruel game.
Wu Bin looked at the three options presented by the system. To his surprise, all three had just refreshed!
Something was off—very off!
Wu Bin felt the system was trying to mess with him.
“Burning, suffocation, massive hemorrhage?”
Damn it!
Are these really the options?
Just the names alone made Wu Bin nearly pee his pants.
System, what the hell are you doing?
Burning?
Seriously?
Is this a normal way to die?
Can this even be called a disease?
It’s torture!
“Wu Bin, you look like you’re not feeling well,” He Bingbing said, noticing his pale face.
Wu Bin was stunned and weakly replied, “Bingbing, do you know anyone who sells insurance? I want to buy some for myself.”
He Bingbing shook her head.
“Our production team has been trying to get insurance for you, but the insurance companies won’t agree. You’re blacklisted by all of them.”
Wu Bin: ...
He was furious.
“Why the hell are these insurance companies blacklisting me? Is it not okay for me to earn money on my own?”
He Bingbing smiled awkwardly.
Netizens burst out laughing.
“You’re still not dead after all this, and insurance companies don’t dare to back you.”
“Is that earning money by your skill? No, you’re earning money with your life!”
“You risk your life for stunts, and you feel wronged for being blacklisted?”
“King of Hell says: I’ve got money here; come and claim it.”
Since buying insurance was impossible, Wu Bin turned his gaze back to the three options.
Burning was off the table—too painful; only a fool would choose that.
Between suffocation and massive hemorrhage—which to pick?
After hesitating, Wu Bin chose massive hemorrhage.
Anyway, he had the “Disdain Death” reputation. He surely wouldn’t bleed out and die, right?
[Host has made a choice.]
[Next illness: Massive hemorrhage.]
[Warning: Bleeding is a special condition; when the host reaches a death state, continuous bleeding will deduct reputation points.]

What the hell!
Why didn’t you say so earlier!
Wu Bin panicked.
His survival depended on the Disdain Death reputation points.
If massive hemorrhage directly deducted reputation, wouldn’t he die very soon?
Damn system, you really don’t consider me human!
Knowing that scolding now was useless, Wu Bin opened the shop to start saving himself.
Fortunately, he had 800 Life Coins now—quite rich!
However, when he saw the items in the shop, Wu Bin fell silent.
[Blood Splatter: Use this skill to evenly splash blood in all directions, very beautiful. Redemption price: 300 Life Coins.]
[Colorful Splendor: Use this skill to change the color of blood to any color you want. Redemption price: 300 Life Coins.]
Are you joking?
Are you a penguin selling flashy effects here?
Can you have something useful?
I don’t want effects. I want to live!
Suppressing his anger, Wu Bin kept scrolling and finally found the two most useful skills.
[Nano Rescue: Use this skill to summon a nano squad for rescue. Redemption price: 100 Life Coins.]
[Bloodthirsty: Use this skill to replenish your blood by consuming the blood of other animals. Redemption price: 300 Life Coins.]
Finally, some useful skills!
Wu Bin didn’t hesitate and paid immediately.
Ding.
[Congratulations, host. Purchase successful.]
[Thank you for your purchase.]
[As a gratitude promotion, the shop grants you a special effect—Massive Hemorrhage!]
What?
Is this your idea of a gratitude promotion?
Are you an undercover agent sent by the King of Hell?
Wu Bin trembled with anger.
He regretted it—really regretted it.
He should have just picked suffocation.
Why massive hemorrhage? Now it’s evolved into massive hemorrhage!
At that moment, Li Guotai and Lu Changshi came in smiling.
“How’s it going, kid? Heard you want to go traveling?”
Wu Bin immediately grabbed Li Guotai’s hand excitedly and said, “Dean Li, I’m blood type B. You remember that, right?”
Li Guotai: ???
