[Name: Enhancement Card: Constitution (1 point)]

[Content description: Strengthen physical fitness, increase resistance, and reduce the risk of sudden death]

[Note: Good health is the real good]

Although only one card was drawn, it contained a lot of information.

The prefix "Enhanced Card" indicates that there are more types of cards, but the "1 point" at the end is a bit confusing and I don't know what it means.

Anyway, there are still 10 o'clock, let's see what else happens.

"Draw another one."

[Card drawing in progress]

[Name: Skill Card: Observation (Basic)]

[Content Description: Use this card to gain general observation ability]

[Note: It is more important to discover danger in time than to solve it]

The description seemed to be very useful, and Jian Jing was a little bit unbelievable. They say that you can't change your fate, and money can't change your fate. After being reborn once, he actually became the emperor of luck

Taking advantage of his good luck, he continued: "Come again."

[Card drawing in progress]

[Name: Item Card - Anti-wolf Spray (1/1)]

[Content description: Special anti-wolf spray, the dosage of which can make an adult male unconscious within 5 seconds, with a self-calibrated function, one spray will make him faint]

[Note: Please do not use for illegal or criminal activities]

[3 cards have been drawn, do you want to use them?]

Jian Jing was of no use, she felt something was subtly wrong.

Although these three cards are very useful, but... how should I put it, it doesn't seem to be the style of the normal world. Let's not talk about physical enhancement for now, observation? Anti-wolf spray

She did not use the card immediately, but silently asked, "Can the card be taken out?"

[Item Cards Only]

"take out."

Suddenly, there was a spray bottle in my hand. It was very small and had a capacity of 10ml, which could be perfectly hidden in the palm of my hand. The medicine inside was colorless and odorless, and the words "anti-wolf spray" were written on the label of the bottle.

"Put it away." She tried to take it back.

The palm is empty.

It seemed very reliable, but out of caution, Jian Jing still did not use it immediately. Instead, she hesitated between the enhancement card and the skill card, weighing which one had a higher safety factor.

To be honest, it was unrealistic to resist using the system, especially since she always had a bad feeling that she had overlooked some key information. But she couldn't rule out the possibility of a pitfall, so she chose the lesser of two evils.

Just as she was struggling with this, she heard footsteps outside the door, and it sounded like they were coming towards her ward.

Her memory was still hazy, and Jian Jing made a prompt decision and chose to use the skill card.

[Skill Card: Observation (Basic) used]

At the same time, the visitor opened the door and walked in.

Jian Jing's attention first fell on his suit: it was double-sided, with a navy blue surface and a red windowpane pattern on the inside. The fabric was smooth and shiny, and because linen was added to the wool, it had some white snowflake-like patterns. Although it was worn on the body, the creases were almost invisible.

She immediately determined that this was definitely not an insurance or salesperson, but a man with money, taste and a good figure.

"I've told you many times not to watch this anymore." The visitor strode to the bedside and took away the copy of "White Cat Detective" that she had spread out on the quilt without any courtesy.

Jian Jing raised her head and recognized the face.

The visitor was about 1.8 meters tall, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and handsome features. In addition to a high-end suit, he also wore a Vacheron Constantin watch on his wrist.

He closed the book with one hand and put it casually on the bedside table.

This action allowed Jian Jing to observe his hands.

The other person's fingers were white and smooth, without any wounds or calluses, and he definitely had not done any physical labor. There was a little bit of black ink on the outside of his ring finger. There was no ring or ring marks on his ring finger, so he must be unmarried.

He leaned in close enough to smell the lingering scent of coffee.

To sum up, a successful business person.

"Boss Kang." After screening, Jian Jing finally found the corresponding person in her memory, "Why are you here?"

"As you can see, visiting the patient." Kang Mucheng put the flowers into a water bottle and placed it on the windowsill. When the bright sunshine shone, the charming flowers bloomed, and the ward with a strong smell of disinfectant suddenly became bright.

Jian Jing relaxed unconsciously.

Kang Mucheng was the one who had the foresight to see the value of "White Cat Detective" and is now the vice president of the publishing house. When she committed suicide at home this time, he rushed to her in time and sent her to the hospital.

In other words, a benefactor in every way.

"I really don't understand why you would choose to commit suicide." Don't think Kang Mucheng is a warm-hearted person just because he sent flowers. The fact is quite the opposite. He is cold and sharp. "Just because of those bad reviews?"

As he questioned her, he sat down beside the bed and looked down at her with his height. "You should know that critics are paid to do their jobs. The sales of "Devil Doctor" are not as bad as you think. It's just that Morningstar Publishing House has just promoted a talented writer and stepped on you to get to the top."

Jian Jing hummed, digesting the relevant memories.

In this world, physical literature is very developed, and writers have considerable incomes and high social status. In order to compete for sales champions, many publishing houses spare no effort to promote their own contracted writers. Just like the idol industry in another world, some hype is inevitable.

Morning Star Publishing House and the Jinwu Publishing House with which she signed a contract are rivals, and the two often compete with each other.

"Your performance is useless except for making people laugh at you." Kang Mucheng said, "The only way to fight back against the negative reviews is to write better works."

He looked calm, and Jian Jing couldn't read his thoughts, so she couldn't help asking, "What if you can't write it?"

"Literature is both art and business. If you don't have the corresponding talent, either leave or endure it." Kang Mucheng paused and changed the subject, "Why, are you going to tell me that you are going to give up?"

Jian Jing had just been reborn, and hadn't thought about it that far yet. She smiled and said, "Just asking casually."

"I think you have such talent." Unexpectedly, Kang Mucheng slowed down his tone and comforted her, "The Devil Doctor has just been released, don't jump to conclusions."

Jian Jing smiled bitterly and said nothing.

Kang Mucheng didn't want to push the patient too much, so he changed the subject: "When I found you, you were outside. Is this good news?"

"I regret it." The new skill card cannot read minds, but Jian Jing can fully understand his euphemisms and admits very readily, "After those few minutes, I will never do stupid things again."

Her life at another fork in the road ended, and from now on, she will continue to live as she is now.

Kang Mucheng showed his first smile after entering the ward: "Good."

It is not terrible for young people to fail once, what is terrible is that they will never have the chance to regret it.

"The doctor said you still need to rest. I should go too. I have a meeting soon." He stood up and brushed off the non-existent dust on the corner of his clothes. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he asked her, "Do you remember what I said to you that year?"

Jian Jing didn't remember it for a moment and looked back blankly.

Fortunately, Kang Mucheng didn't need her to answer, and said to himself: "Creation is your business, and selling is my business. You have done your job, so just leave it to me."

"Have a good rest." He patted her shoulder and nodded goodbye modestly.

"Slow down." Jian Jing replied a beat late.

After Kang Mucheng left, the ward became quiet again.

The sun shines on the floor, flowers are blooming, outside is the blue sky and white clouds, and the wind brings the aroma of the cafeteria.

The single room was quiet and comfortable. Jane Jing leaned on the soft pillow behind her and thought.

Judging from what happened just now, skill cards do have a significant effect, but it is far from exaggerated.

Being able to observe does not mean being able to analyze. For example, for a suit, the analysis of the material comes from her knowledge reserve, but she knows nothing about the style, buttons and tailoring, so she cannot get any effective information.

Moreover, his observation ability was not that strong, and he only got a few simple clues: the other party was "rich, had a good figure, was good-looking, was unmarried, and had drunk coffee."

Anyone with eyes can see this, okay? ( ̄_ ̄|||)

But to be honest, the biggest role of the primary card is not to improve ability, but to improve consciousness. She didn't have the habit of observation before, but after using the card, observation became a subconscious action.

This habit is difficult to develop without years of practice, but now she has acquired it without any effort, which makes Jian Jing very satisfied.

But even so, she still had no intention of using the enhancement card.

Set a 3-day observation period first, and consider using it if there are no side effects on your body.

Let’s go to bed now.

Carbon monoxide poisoning is not a trivial matter and requires proper treatment.

Jian Jing slept all night and woke up in a daze at around eight o'clock, feeling extremely hungry.

In the parallel world, her parents died early and she didn't have many friends. The only person who came to visit her was Kang Mucheng, who was particular about style. He didn't bring any fruit or milk, but chose some pretty but useless flowers. Now the ward was empty and there was nothing to eat.

It was 8 p.m. and the hospital cafeteria was closed, so I couldn't ask anyone to deliver food.

There was no other way, so Jian Jing had to call the nurse to remove the needle and went downstairs to the supermarket to buy something to eat.

There was not much difference between the two hospitals. At night, apart from the inpatient department, only the emergency department had lights on. Ambulances were parked at the side door, ready to go out for rescue at any time.

The supermarket is in a low house next to the emergency room. It has a complete range of products, including food and daily necessities.

Jian Jing picked and chose, and finally her stomach said it wanted to eat instant noodles, so she bought a box of instant noodles.

The lady boss said, "The kettle is broken. Go borrow some from the emergency room."

Jian Jing had no choice but to turn into the emergency room.

This place is almost another world, noisy and busy, with patients lying on the hospital beds screaming, an old man vomiting into a trash can, and a baby crying loudly, unable to express the pain.

The nurses were walking in a hurry and the doctor's eyes were bruised.

There is a water dispenser in the corner, and the yellow light shows that hot water is boiling.

Just when Jian Jing was about to give up and go back to the inpatient department to ask the nurse for some water, a familiar voice rang out, and an illusory text box appeared in front of her eyes.
