Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 343 Digital Life (including system dialogue)
During the last book signing trip to Qilu, Lin Qingshan and Wang Renfei left each other their contact information, including mobile phone numbers.

However, as young people of the new era, smartphones have become popular, and of course we usually communicate through various communication software such as Penguin and WeChat.

Call directly...

Lin Qingshan noticed something was wrong, and then he picked up the phone.

"Is it...Mr. Lin?"

Sure enough, the voice coming from the phone was not Wang Renfei's, but his mother's voice.

The great mother's voice now had an obvious tremor.

Lin Qingshan seemed to realize something, stood up and walked to the balcony.

Everyone who was enjoying the delicious food prepared by Lin Qingshan, seeing Lin Qingshan's expression, probably knew that he was having a very serious conversation with a very important person.

So they all couldn't help but speak in a lower voice.

"Yes, Auntie, I'm Lin Qingshan, what happened to Ah Fei?"

Lin Qingshan asked directly.

He also made a lot of efforts during this period. For example, as mentioned before, he kept refreshing the system mall with [Future Market (Master)], hoping to refresh drugs or treatments that can treat Wang Renfei's congenital genetic disease DMD.

However, it is not known whether it was because he was unlucky or the disease would remain incurable for the next forty years.

He has not yet developed any system products that can treat DMD congenital genetic disease and treatment methods.

In addition, he actively relied on the connections and relationships of Daber Lin Pinzhang as the president of a medical device company to find advanced medical experimental teams at home and abroad.

Although Wang Renfei's mother said that she had contacted all the top hospitals in the country and even those abroad.

But no method has been found to treat DMD congenital genetic disease.

But what if some medical research teams have developed some cutting-edge medical technologies that have good therapeutic effects on DMD congenital genetic disease, but have not yet been announced to the public and are still in the experimental stage?

However... fantasy is beautiful, reality is cruel.

No, at least according to Lin Pinzhang's investigation using his own connections, there are medical teams in the Republic doing research on this topic, but they have not made any significant progress.

This is also normal.

There are eight out of ten things in life that are not as we wish. Many common terminal illnesses cannot be conquered despite the efforts of so many medical teams.

As for those rare diseases, unless some medical teams are very lucky, they may accidentally discover or synthesize one of the hundreds of millions of compound ingredients that happens to have a good therapeutic effect on a certain type of rare disease.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to make breakthroughs in these rare diseases.

After all, medical teams or pharmaceutical companies also need to make money. If a disease is too rare, even if they develop a corresponding drug, they won’t make much money.

Therefore, it is even more difficult to get treatment for rare and terminal diseases.

"Niuniu, he..."

Wang Renfei's mother choked up and said, "He suddenly fell ill at noon today. Fortunately, the pair of glasses you gave me, Mr. Lin, detected that there was something wrong with Niu Niu's vital signs in time, and you called me in time."

"But when I arrived, it was still a little late. Niu Niu is currently in the hospital's ICU, but the hospital said...it might be difficult for him to survive the next few days."

Lin Qingshan was stunned for a moment, and his mood suddenly felt heavy. Was he going to lose a friend for the first time in this world?
"Niuniu...has been saying lately that if anything happens to him, he hopes to tell you as soon as possible."

Wang Renfei's mother continued with a trembling voice, "He wanted to say thank you Mr. Lin for taking care of him during this period. It's a pity that he couldn't live to see the arrival of the cyberpunk era."

Wang Renfei has always been a loyal fan of "Edge Walker", and Lin Qingshan has always known this.

So he has been encouraging Wang Renfei that as long as he works hard to survive, when the cyberpunk era arrives, Wang Renfei's illness will be cured.

By that time, with Wang Renfei's abilities, he will definitely be able to become a qualified prosthetic doctor.

Wang Renfei was also greatly encouraged and kept saying that he would wait for that moment.

Lin Qingshan thought that as long as Wang Renfei held on for a while longer, he would be saved until the system found the medicine that could cure his rare disease.

but now……

I really can't wait any longer.

"Thank you Mr. Lin for taking care of Niu Niu..."

Finally, Wang Renfei's mother hung up the phone with sobs.

Lin Qingshan took a deep breath, he still... couldn't accept this.

What...Isn't he the protagonist? Isn't he a time traveler?

How come he can't solve things like this?
"Qingshan...what's wrong?"

At this time, Gu Qianli came to the balcony with some worry and asked.

"Qianli...A Fei can't hold on any longer...No, there should be a way."

Lin Qingshan muttered to himself.

Yes... there is a way...

He also has a system!
"A Fei, is he dying?"

Gu Qianli was the only person who knew Wang Renfei like Lin Qingshan. She also knew about Wang Renfei's situation, and she suddenly felt very heavy.

Lin Qingshan pinched his face, took a deep breath, and forced a smile.

"Today is Yuta's celebration party, we can't affect Yuta's mood..."

He said to Gu Qianli, "Let's go...Qianli, we just need to pretend that nothing happened."

He didn't want to affect the mood of Akutami Yuta and others.

Negative emotions should not be spread to others.

After hearing this, Gu Qianli had no choice but to do as Lin Qingshan said and go back to the apartment with Lin Qingshan as if nothing had happened.

But everyone seemed to sense something, and the atmosphere wasn't as joyful afterwards.

In response to this, Lin Qingshan said to Akutami Yuta apologetically at the end, "I'm sorry, Yuta, you are not very happy today."

"It's okay, teacher, what happened?"

Akutami Yuta waved his hand nonchalantly, but still asked curiously.

"Nothing... a friend had an accident."

Lin Qingshan shook his head and said with some disappointment.

When Akutami Yuta and others saw that Lin Qingshan, who was always optimistic and seemed carefree, looked so lost, they probably realized that this accident was... very serious.

But they didn't know what had happened and could only comfort Lin Qingshan with a few words of comfort.

"Qingshan...How is Ah Fei now?"

Finally, after seeing off everyone else, only Gu Qianli was left looking at Lin Qingshan and asked with some concern.

"Auntie said he's still in the ICU, but... there's no hope."

Lin Qingshan said somewhat bewilderedly.

"Are you going to go over there to see Ah Fei for the last time?"

Gu Qianli took a deep breath and said firmly, "I can go with you..."

"Let me think about it... I might have another idea."

Lin Qingshan bit his lip and spoke with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

However, in Gu Qianli's eyes, what else can be done since the hospital has made such an announcement?
Although... Aoyama is a genius, not only in comics, he is also a genius with double doctorates.

But Qingshan's doctorate is not in medicine...

"You... Qingshan, if there is anything, you must tell me, I will always be with you."

Gu Qianli wanted to say something, but soon she changed the subject and spoke firmly.

"Okay, I will, Chisato."

Lin Qingshan suddenly felt warm in his heart and said to Gu Qianli.

Then Gu Qianli also returned to his apartment. After seeing everyone off, Lin Qingshan could finally call out the system.

"The system is old."

He sat on the sofa and shouted.

Suddenly, the system's virtual page appeared again.

The popularity of "Parasyte" is not higher than that of "Chainsaw Man", so the progress of the task is very slow, but now his total points have reached five million.

Before, it could be exchanged for [Prophet's Dream (Master)], the cheapest predictive ability.

[Prophet Dream (Master)], with 300 million points, has the ability to get the best solution to current problems in a dream every other day.

But dreams are generally incomplete, and you may not be able to fully remember what happened in the dream when you wake up.

However, this ability is guaranteed to allow you to remember 30% of your dreams.

Therefore, the ability of [Prophet's Dream (Master)] has great uncertainty, and when you get the complete and best method, you will have to use this method to realize it in reality later.

Wang Renfei may not be able to hold on until that time.

But... there is no other solution.

However, Lin Qingshan still has a glimmer of hope, that is... the omnipotent system Lao Deng!

"System Master Deng... Really, is there any way to solve the DMD congenital genetic disease?"

Lin Qingshan asked hurriedly.

"...This genetic disease will not be treatable in the next fifty years with the current level of technology in this world."

The system replied coldly.

Lin Qingshan's heart suddenly sank. No wonder the [Future Market (Master)] had been refreshing the mall for so long but had not yet produced an item that could cure this disease.

"Then...if I exchange the prophet's dream, can I find a way to save Ah Fei?"

He asked again with a glimmer of hope.

"……Can."

The system actually replied, "It just takes time. The prophetic dream is not an omnipotent ability in reality. There is a solution, but it may be limited by the current technology and cannot be realized."

Lin Qingshan's originally ecstatic heart fell heavy again.

But... no matter what, there is a way, right?
"Exchange for [Prophet's Dream (Master)]."

Lin Qingshan took a deep breath and then said, "Is it not available in the mall? Then let me draw and synthesize it as before. I have many abilities now. Tell me a method of synthesizing abilities that can stably synthesize the relevant upgrade routes."

The system Lao Deng immediately followed his request and provided a synthesis route just like the previous synthesis of [Game Creator (Master)].

However, you still need to draw two related mystical abilities, which are two fixed fusion materials to be fused.
[Scepter of Mysticism (Diamond)] + [Innate Intuition (Diamond)] + [Lord of War (Diamond)] were combined and then strengthened into [Prophet's Dream (Master)].

However, it cost him three million points to strengthen this rare ability, but fortunately the system did not play a prank on him and the strengthening failed directly.

Suddenly, Lin Qingshan entered a dream that night.

That night, he seemed to have come to another parallel world. In that world, technology had developed to the point where it was just like in science fiction works, flying out of the galaxy and becoming a third-level civilization.

And he is a genetic doctor in civilization.

The technology there does have a way to solve the so-called DMD congenital genetic disease, and it is very easy.

All you need to do is take medicine...genetic medicine, which can change the disease-causing genes in the body when taken for a long time.

After Lin Qingshan woke up, he really remembered the synthesis method of the genetic medicine in his dream, although only 30%.

but……

"It's too late! No, Ah Fei doesn't need medicine to treat genetic diseases right now."

Lin Qingshan then remembered and said with some annoyance, "He should be suffering from organ failure due to heart failure. The DMD congenital gene disease has been cured, but how to solve the organ failure?"

He was also confused. For Wang Renfei, who is now in the ICU, the biggest life-threatening danger is multiple organ failure.

How to solve the problem of organ failure?
It's too late even to replace the organs.

There are not so many compatible organs.

Unless... it's a mechanical prosthesis.

Drugs are easy to synthesize, but how can mechanical prostheses be synthesized without powerful industrial machinery?

"The system is old!"

Lin Qingshan called out the system again and said, "Is there any other way to treat organ failure?"

"…Mechanical prosthesis."

Sure enough, the system gave such an answer.

"How is this possible..."

Lin Qingshan was numb and said, "Other methods!"

"…The host should know about digital life."

The system master suddenly said, "Among the items the host currently has, there is a digital life chip, which is the best treatment method at present."

"Digital life?"

Lin Qingshan suddenly remembered that...digital life chip that he had bought just for fun.

He quickly returned to his room and found the special digital life chip on his display cabinet.

but……

Did Digital Life really save Wang Renfei?

Lin Qingshan was very hesitant...but was there any other way now?

If possible, it would be better to give this choice to Wang Renfei himself...

Or... let Wang Renfei's mother decide!

"How do I use this chip?"

Lin Qingshan asked anxiously.

Now that you have decided, you must first familiarize yourself with how to use it.

"The digital life chip has relevant instructions, please check it yourself."

The system replied immediately.

Lin Qingshan then went back to look for the instruction manual that came with the chip, but...

"I actually have to download related software! Why can't I download this software?"

Lin Qingshan was numb and said.

"Then please ask the host to develop the relevant software yourself."

The system said immediately.

"Develop it yourself?"

Lin Qingshan took a deep breath. Yes, he had the [Prophet Dream (Master)] and the superb programming ability contained in [Game Creator (Master)]. He could also develop it by himself.

But... even if you have the ability, you still need the hardware conditions!
If you can’t use your home computer, why not create a software related to the future’s black technology yourself!

"Oh yeah... there's someone who can help!"

Lin Qingshan suddenly remembered something.

Then he returned to his room again, turned over the box that usually contained countless sundries, and then he searched and searched...searched and searched...

"found it!"

Lin Qingshan picked up a business card and said in surprise.
