Jiang Fei stood at the door of the classroom, took a deep breath, and firmly held the letter containing secrets that his mother had given him.
Jiang Fei, who was somewhat greedy and had the suspicion of being like a snake trying to swallow an elephant, happily and carefully examined his character attributes.
The basic attributes were: Stamina (0.9), Spirit (1.1), Agility (1), and Strength (1.2). These should represent the basic qualities of a person, with a unit of 1 being the average level of an ordinary person.
Currently, apart from feeling a bit hungry and having low stamina, his spirit, agility, and strength were all slightly above the average level of ordinary people, above the passing line.
After all, as a doctor, Jiang Fei wouldn't overwork his body in daily life. Being 1.8 meters tall, it was quite normal for his physical attributes to be slightly above average.
However, if Jiang Fei could raise his mission level in the future, it would be quite terrifying.
If Jiang Fei remembered correctly, in the game "The Wandering Swordsman," every time a character levelled up, they would receive two attribute points to allocate freely.
This meant that when Jiang Fei levelled up from level 0 to level 1, he could increase his strength from 1.2 to 3.2, making his strength equivalent to 3.2 times that of an average adult!
Of course, he could also allocate these attribute points to agility, spirit, or stamina, or distribute them among these attributes.
In any case, as long as he levelled up, he could significantly enhance one or two aspects of his physical attributes!
"If I level up a few times, I could participate in the Olympics and win many gold medals! Even without martial arts, I could still become a great hero!" Jiang Fei couldn't help but fantasize.
Although levelling up was difficult, he had many life skills, such as weapon forging and summoning beast training, which he didn't need to use.
However, many other skills were useful!
For example, plant cultivation, he could lease a piece of land to grow crops and vegetables; cooking, he could cook his own meals every day; music, he could play the flute... oh no, play the piano more;
And gardening, brewing—
These were all things Jiang Fei could do to gain experience and level up, without relying solely on treating patients.
500 experience points, he could surely earn them in two or three months, right?
"Right, every time a character in 'The Wandering Swordsman' levels up, the system gives a level-up gift. The contents of the gift are not fixed. With good luck, you could get a divine beast or a world-class martial art like the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms or the Six Pulse Sword Technique; with bad luck, you might just get some ordinary items. I can look forward to it after levelling up. There's still hope of becoming a great hero!"
Jiang Fei remembered a post he had seen on a game forum before, where a screenshot showed someone opening a gift at level 30 and getting the secret manual for the Nine Swords of Dugu!
"Hey, what are you grinning about? It's just a patient, no need to be so happy, right?"
Lin Molli walked over with Jiang Fei's laptop, somewhat dejectedly saying, "Your computer doesn't seem to be broken; it can turn on now."
At this point, Jiang Fei didn't care much about the laptop anymore. He took it casually, glanced at Lin Molli, who had a pink, moist, cherry-like mouth that anyone would want to bite, and said with a smile, "If the computer isn't broken, why are you still unhappy? Do you really want to buy me an Apple laptop? I know you're a rich woman with plenty of money. If you really have nowhere to spend it, you don't need to buy me a computer. Just slap a ten-thousand-yuan note on my face, and I'll definitely accept it."
He placed the laptop on the counter, opened "The Wandering Swordsman" game, and prepared to log in to check if his game account had changed.
However, when he entered his account and password, it showed "Account Error"!
Jiang Fei was taken aback, checked his account, re-entered the password, but it still showed "Account Error"!
After three attempts, the result was the same.
Jiang Fei was stunned. Could it be that after the game character possessed him, the character in the game was deleted?
However, it didn't matter if the game character was gone. Jiang Fei didn't care.
In real life, who would play games on a computer?
Lin Molli, of course, had no idea what Jiang Fei was thinking, and smiled, "Money is not a problem... but I have a better suggestion."
"What suggestion?" Jiang Fei asked without looking up.
Lin Molli's eyes suddenly showed a hint of shyness, and her cheeks turned slightly red. However, she pretended nothing was wrong and acted very open and joking, "Since your clinic has no business and will only lose money, why don't you let this girl support you and be a quiet pretty boy? As for money, it will definitely be more than what you earn from the clinic..."
Jiang Fei closed the laptop and glanced at her.
He stood up, tidied up, took off his white coat, and said, "I haven't fallen to the point where I can't even eat and have to be a pretty boy."
"How can you call it falling? I heard being a pretty boy is the ultimate dream job for many men. Besides, the employer is a beauty like me..." Lin Molli said, following Jiang Fei.
"Sorry, I'm not one of those men without ambition!" Jiang Fei said righteously, but then looked at Lin Molli with regret, "The key is that the grass is already taken. You're too late..."
After saying that, Jiang Fei laughed and turned to continue tidying up.
So, he didn't see the disappointment on Lin Molli's face.
"Didn't you break up with your girlfriend?" Lin Molli asked, unwilling to give up.
"Just a temporary breakup," Jiang Fei corrected.
He clapped his hands, took the key, and pulled down the roller shutter of the clinic.
Although it was only 5:30 PM, he was already preparing to close. There was no business anyway, and all the patients had been taken by the charming woman across the street. It didn't matter whether he closed or not.
He hadn't noticed it before, but seeing his character's stamina at 0.9 and being in a state of hunger, he suddenly felt very hungry. He needed to fill his stomach first!
"Where are we going for dinner tonight? I'll treat you," Lin Molli quickly put her worries aside and said, leaning against Jiang Fei with a smile.
"Tonight, we're not going anywhere. I'll buy some ingredients and cook at home!" Jiang Fei said confidently.
He was now at level 9 in cooking, a master chef. The dishes he could make would probably be better than those from five-star hotels, and he couldn't wait to try them.
Lin Molli, however, was not pleased, "Hey, no need to do that. With your cooking skills, do you really want to cook yourself? We're good friends, you don't need to poison me, right?"
Actually, Lin Molli was exaggerating a bit.
Although Jiang Fei's cooking skills weren't great before, they weren't so bad that they were inedible... at least, that's what Jiang Fei thought.
Feeling insulted, Jiang Fei was unhappy and started the car, saying fiercely, "Wait, you'll regret what you said!"
"I'm looking forward to it!"
However, Lin Molli never got to see Jiang Fei's amazing cooking skills. Shortly after getting in the car, she received a call from a customer who wanted to see a house and asked her to come over immediately.
Although Lin Molli's monthly commission was high, the corresponding workload was also greater.
No matter when, even after work, when a customer had a need, she had to rush back immediately.
"This job is really tiring!" Lin Molli, who had been smiling a moment ago, sighed after hanging up the phone.
She turned to look at Jiang Fei, who was driving, and said with a smile, "How about I quit this job and work at your clinic? The clinic across the street, isn't it just because that aunt is a bit pretty? What's the big deal? I'm not worse than her, and I'm younger, with longer legs. In black stockings and high heels, I'll look even better!"
Jiang Fei was almost startled by Lin Molli's sudden suggestion and said irritably, "You earn more than 20,000 yuan a month. Can I afford to hire you?"
"That's not important. We'll work together and split the earnings." Lin Molli continued, her beautiful big eyes staring at Jiang Fei, her long eyelashes fluttering, looking genuinely excited.
"..."
After dropping Lin Molli off at her company, Jiang Fei drove to the market to buy ingredients and then went home.
As for Lin Molli's sudden suggestion, Jiang Fei naturally didn't agree.
His clinic had limited space and limited customers. Even if his medical skills improved dramatically due to the game character, and the business boomed, he could earn at most 10,000 yuan a month.
Getting Lin Molli to give up her average monthly salary of more than 20,000 yuan to work for him would be unfair...
Jiang Fei's apartment was about a 20-minute drive from his clinic. He had rented it when he was still working at the hospital. It was a two-bedroom, one-living room, one-kitchen, one-bathroom apartment, not large, but big enough for him to live alone.
Carrying a pile of ingredients—pork ribs, fatty pork, green peppers, tomatoes—he climbed to the sixth floor.
With so many ingredients, Jiang Fei planned to cook a big meal to reward himself and gain some experience.
"Uncle, you're back?"
As soon as he opened the door, a clear female voice came from behind.
Hearing this, Jiang Fei turned around, looking at a high school girl in a plaid skirt and black tights, holding a book, and said unhappily, "Xia Xiaozhi, I told you not to call me Uncle! I'm only a few years older than you, why call me Uncle!"
Some men liked being called Uncle, but Jiang Fei didn't know why.
However, Jiang Fei felt young, having only graduated from university three years ago. Being called Uncle by a beautiful high school girl was really annoying.
"Got it... Uncle!"
