Not even 5 seconds yet? Jian Jing almost despaired.
The man already felt dizzy at this time, but he was unwilling to surrender. His ferocity came over him and his rationality had no idea where to hide.
He just wants revenge now. If he can't kill the original target, then at least he can drag a few of them to be buried with him.
He swung the knife, but his arm had no strength and the knife slipped out of his hand.
Jian Jing watched the knife flying towards her, getting closer and closer, but her brain completely froze. She only knew of fragmented images flashing by and was unable to issue any commands.
She widened her eyes and waited blankly for the ending.
This is the real reaction of ordinary people when facing death: they don’t avoid it, not because they don’t want to avoid it, but because they can’t do it.
Boom.
The knife hit the chair and fell to the ground.
The 5 seconds were up. The props produced by the system were genuine and the man became dizzy and fell heavily to the ground without any reaction.
[Task completed, system settlement in progress]
The air was silent for several seconds.
It took a long time for everyone to react. Some people kicked the knife away, some held down the unconscious man, and some went to help Jian Jing.
The little nurse who had screamed just now was terrified and kept asking her, "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Jian Jing shook her head stiffly, dark shadows appeared before her eyes and she felt dizzy.
"I," she began, only to find that her voice was trembling badly, "maybe, maybe I have low blood sugar."
The young nurse immediately opened a bag of glucose and fed it to her mouth.
Jian Jing drank several gulps of the drink greedily, like a traveler who had walked in the desert for days. The water and sugar replenished the lost sweat and energy, and she felt that she could finally breathe again.
"Huh," she fell into the chair, too tired to move at all. There was only one thought in her mind: It's finally over.
Not dead, that's great.
Survived.
"Thank you." said the young nurse, her slightly red eyes full of gratitude.
She smiled bitterly and waved her hand. The nurse wanted to say something, but the patient outside started to scream. It seemed that an old man was having a heart attack. She left in a hurry, saying "Call me if you need anything".
Jian Jing nodded hastily, not having time to be polite. She was so tired, the past few minutes had drained all her strength, and she wanted to go back to the ward immediately and fall asleep.
After being drowsy for a while—she thought it was only a few minutes, but in fact half an hour had passed—a dark cloud suddenly appeared in front of her: "Hello, I'm Ji Feng from the Criminal Investigation Detachment. We already know what happened just now. Could you please come back with us to the branch to take a statement?"
Jian Jing raised her eyelids and looked at the uninvited guest.
The other party was in plain clothes, but he showed his police officer ID. The man in the photo had regular features and a dignified bearing. He looked even better in real life, a very masculine and handsome man.
But when Daniel Wu appeared at this time, he didn't arouse her interest at all.
Jian Jing had a splitting headache, her blood sugar was low, and her emotions were a little out of control: "I'm a patient!"
Help! What is a transcript? Can I eat it
All she wanted now was a bowl of hot instant noodles so that she would have the strength to walk back to the ward and sleep.
Ji Feng raised his brows.
In fact, he had already watched the surveillance video before coming to see her. It was what he saw the other party doing that made him feel strange.
It is incredible that an ordinary girl could discover and prevent a murder.
How did she know that there was a problem with the person and solve it in advance? If it weren't for her brilliant move of pushing the cart, the casualties today would have been terrible.
"You can come tomorrow." Ji Feng held out his phone, "Leave me your contact information."
Jian Jing felt her pocket and found her cell phone was gone. She couldn't remember whether she had brought her cell phone with her or if she had accidentally dropped it somewhere.
"Is this it?" Ji Feng picked up the phone on the chair next to him and turned on the screen.
She rubbed her temples and nodded, vaguely remembering which nurse had picked it up and returned it to her.
Ji Feng dialed her own number on her cell phone and said politely, "I hope you can cooperate with us. Just come to me when you get there. By the way, what's your name?"
"Jane Jing."
Ji Feng felt that the name sounded familiar, but he didn't show it. After he left the hospital, he took out his phone and searched for her name.
The first one is the encyclopedia entry.
Jian Jing, born on September 1, 1999, is a talented novelist, her representative work is "White Cat Detective".
"Novelist..." His tone was strange.
The surveillance recorded the whole process of the crime. When Jian Jing suddenly rushed out, there was no sign of anything happening, and even the murderer was caught off guard. He wanted to know how she figured it out, so he extended the video and found that Jian Jing had been wandering around for a long time, as if she was looking for someone.
What's even more strange is that she was wearing a hospital gown and was an inpatient. Why did she come to the emergency room for no reason
Half an hour later, Ji Feng saw her repeatedly appearing in several places in the emergency room. She was neither looking for anyone nor seeing a doctor. She came and went, which was very strange.
I thought there was something else going on with her, but when I asked, it turned out that she was a celebrity of some note.
When taking notes, you have to clarify these doubts.
Jian Jing didn't know that she had registered in Ji Feng's heart. She forced herself to go back to the ward with her exhausted body and fell asleep. She didn't know if heroes were given special treatment. Although the experience was dangerous, she didn't have a nightmare and slept comfortably until dawn.
The cafeteria delivered breakfast to each room.
She ordered soy milk, fried dough sticks, buns and fried dumplings yesterday, and ate them all in one go, finally filling her stomach after a day of suffering.
After eating and drinking, Jian Jing finally had the mind to look at the system's settlement.
[Task name: Emergency room murder (completed)]
[Task Reward: 15 points of courage + 10 points of special contribution (avoid 1 death and 2 serious injuries)]
[Note: Courage can be used to draw cards (normal), each time costs 5 points; Contribution can be used to draw cards (special), each time costs 10 points]]
[Do you want to start drawing cards?]
Another special card
Jian Jing didn't hesitate and said directly: "Draw them all."
[Card drawing in progress]

[Note: This product can be used in combination with other cards. Consume 5 points of courage to print a new appearance.]
Jian Jing: “…”
Look, unlocking a new appearance, what a familiar routine, this is the precursor to krypton gold. Unfortunately, all her contribution points have been spent, and she can't krypton even if she wants to, so she saves her money.
She used up the knowledge card directly and then asked for the special card.
There was a pair of ordinary platinum-framed glasses in his hand. Although they looked ordinary, the things produced by the system were truly magical. They were extremely comfortable and so light that they seemed to have no weight. His ears and nose did not feel any pressure at all.
The lenses are thin and clear, with rich colors and no chromatic aberration.
Take it off and blow on it, and there will be almost no mist. You no longer have to worry about going blind from eating instant noodles in the winter.
Jian Jing put it on and refused to take it off. She looked in the mirror and could only sigh: Any function that requires adjusting the appearance requires spending money.
Forget it, let’s look at something else.
She thought for a moment and decided to use both enhancement cards.
[Reinforcement Card: Constitution (1 point) used]
[Enhancement Card: Agility (1 point) used]
Two prompts later, a brand new panel came into view, clearly displaying her personal data.
[Character Panel]
Name: Jian Jing
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Condition: Carbon monoxide poisoning (treated)
Constitution: 5 (4 basic values + 1 point of enhancement)
Strength: 4
Agility: 6 (5 basic value + 1 point enhancement)
Burst: 3
Stamina: 4
Talent: Literary Creation (locked)
Knowledge: Trace Forensics (Elementary)
Skills: Observation (Basic)
Items: Recovery Candy (5/5), Black Tech Glasses
Jian Jing frowned: "What does this number mean?"
[System: Human attribute values range from 1 to 10, 6 is the average value for adult women, 1 to 3 is low, 4 to 5 is relatively low, 7 to 8 is strong, 9 to 10 is extremely strong, and 10 is above the human limit]
Jian Jing: “…” Does that mean her physical fitness is terrible
Perhaps having heard her doubts, the system intelligently adjusted the description:
Physical fitness: 5 (the consequence of staying up late all year round)
Strength: 4 (You can't carry a bucket of water)
Agility: 6 (Playing games is when you are most agile)
Burst: 3 (Must be really bad at sprinting)
Endurance: 4 (You need to worry about your future x life)
"Puff—" Jian Jing spat out a mouthful of water. What kind of system is this? Is this how intelligent it can be
[System: Host, do you have any questions?]
Jian Jing held her forehead, calmed down, and asked, "The knowledge and skill cards are all elementary. Can I draw intermediate or advanced cards later?"
[System: No, the normal card pool only has primary cards]
"How do I upgrade then?"
[Consume 3 primary cards to synthesize 1 upgrade card, used for primary → intermediate]
[Consume 8 primary cards to synthesize 1 powerful upgrade card, used for intermediate → advanced]
[Consume 15 primary cards to synthesize 1 super upgrade card, used for advanced → expert]
Jian Jing was surprised: "This consumption is too much."
[System: To prevent the host from abusing advanced skills and causing unfairness, this restriction is hereby imposed]
Jian Jing was stunned for a moment, then she felt relieved.
Yes, taking Trace Examination as an example, to upgrade from beginner to advanced level requires 11 beginner cards, 55 courage points, and about a few dungeons. The time and energy spent is definitely not as much as a trace examiner in reality, so it's already like using cheats.
If there are no restrictions, people with systems can easily acquire several advanced skills, which is unfair to those who work hard in the real world.
The practice of consuming cards is also in line with the trade-offs in reality - if you choose to specialize in a certain field, you naturally won't have much energy to study other things.
