...
The entire system is quite simple, a pure proficiency upgrade system. As proficiency increases, related skills will also improve. Whether the improvement is purely based on level judgment or comes with rewards remains to be seen and will require future experimentation.
Regardless, at least this system isn't complicated. A simple and convenient design is already quite good.
As for why the required proficiency for the skills is not high, yet the levels are so low, it's most likely because before the system, the original host did not gain proficiency every time she cooked or cared for her daughter. This is akin to how some people don't truly absorb knowledge just by attending classes daily.
The actual effect of a life skill system should be that any practice leads to improvement.
And this point alone,
far surpasses the utility of most systems.
Because for most people, the primary reason for their laziness, reluctance to put in effort, and desire to lie flat isn't that effort is too difficult, but that effort yields no visible improvement. If any effort leads to improvement,
and that improvement is visibly apparent,
one can imagine how many people would be willing to strive and learn.
Understanding this, Ding Yun no longer forced herself to stay awake and succumbed to her body's instincts, falling asleep.
When she woke up again,
the first thing she saw was her grandson, with red eyes.
Liu Changan!
This was the name the original host had given him, hoping her grandson would live long and peacefully. If the name hadn't been too long, she would have added wishes for joy and well-being.
"Grandma, Grandma, you're finally awake. You scared me to death. Oh, Grandma, do you still recognize me? Do you know what this is?" [He held up three fingers.] "How are you feeling now?"
Because the doctor had previously warned that if she woke up without significant sequelae, she would be fine. However, if there were memory loss, inability to recognize people, or logical impairment, it would be quite troublesome, as it was a head injury, and current technology cannot fully understand or perfectly treat the brain.
Therefore, Liu Changan, who had been staring intently at Ding Yun, asked anxiously as soon as she opened her eyes.
He then held up three fingers as a test,
fearing that Ding Yun might develop sequelae.
"I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm alright..."
Because Ding Yun's main injuries were to her head, with minor damage to her left leg and internal organs, none of these injuries currently affected her ability to speak, so she quickly comforted him.
"Grandma Lin, I'm so glad you're alright."
At this moment, Teacher Xiao, who had been standing a little further away, approached and spoke. Ding Yun then saw her and immediately said sheepishly,
"Teacher Xiao, I didn't expect you to come too.
I've truly caused you trouble. You've always been very concerned about Changan's studies, and I didn't expect you to come when I had a car accident. By the way, do you have any other business here? Changan, see if there's anything to eat for the teacher, or pour her a glass of water.
I'm really not in a convenient position."
This Teacher Xiao had been quite attentive to their family's situation and had always taken good care of the original host's grandson. Occasionally, she would visit to see if there was anything she could help with.
Ding Yun also lacked relevant experience and could only follow the original host's methods from memory, quickly greeting the teacher.
"No, no, I just brought Changan here.
When Changan received the call from the hospital, he was terrified and panicked. I asked him a little more, and then I helped him ask for leave and drove him here. Seeing that you're alright, I'm relieved.
By the way, I remember you have a daughter at home, right? What about her situation now? Should I help bring her to the hospital as well? Otherwise, Changan needs to attend school, and you're lying in the hospital. Your daughter at home is probably not in a convenient situation. Even if you don't bring her here, you should at least inform someone and find someone to help take care of her. What do you think?
I don't have much to do this afternoon,
so I'll just help you see this through..."
Teacher Xiao understood the situation of her student's family and knew that he had an aunt who was paralyzed and bedridden. A paralyzed person cannot do without care. She couldn't let this student skip school to go home and care for his aunt for half a year, as that would hinder his education.
This was why she specifically mentioned the matter,
fearing that the old lady, perhaps to save money, would either neglect her grandson's studies or fail to adequately care for her paralyzed daughter.
"This... this is too kind of you. Let's not bother you. I'll see about telling the hospital to send an ambulance to pick up my daughter.
That way, you won't have to make a special trip.
Besides, an ambulance is more professional.
But thank you for the reminder.
By the way, Changan, I lost consciousness after being hit. What's the situation now? Have they caught the person who hit me? And who covered the hospital expenses?
We need to pay them back quickly!"
Taking good care of a paralyzed person requires a great deal of energy. The original host spent three to four hours a day on her daughter, such as washing her body daily and turning her over every hour or so.
Feeding her three meals a day.
Helping her with toileting and washing.
Her daughter's paralysis wasn't just in her lower limbs; she had no sensation from the neck down. If only her legs couldn't move, many people would still have some ability to care for themselves.
The critical issue was that her daughter could only move her head.
She couldn't move any other part of her body.
No matter how much she wanted to be self-sufficient, it was impossible.
In addition, to prevent her daughter from becoming bored and mentally broken from lack of stimulation, the original host would constantly let her watch television, listen to the radio, and hear the news.
In short, she enriched her mental life,
preventing her from going mad from an empty spiritual existence.
Today, an unknown amount of time had already passed, and her daughter was likely already feeling uncomfortable.
Moreover, since her daughter was female, it would be inconvenient for her aunt and nephew, or even her mother and son, to help with washing her body. Therefore, Ding Yun certainly couldn't let her grandson go back to help. Asking relatives for help was one thing; even if someone was willing, it was uncertain how thorough their care would be.
So, it would be better to have her transferred to the hospital directly, spend a little money, and hire a temporary caregiver for a while.
The savings should be enough to last for some time.
Seeing that Ding Yun had made up her mind, Teacher Xiao no longer insisted. Liu Changan finally felt a little more at ease and immediately answered Ding Yun's questions:
"Grandma, a kind person nearby called an ambulance to bring you here. The hospital opened an emergency channel for you, so they haven't asked for money yet.
However, the doctor said he would give me the bill later.
I don't know the exact amount.
As for the person who hit you, they seem to be undergoing surgery right now and have already received two critical condition notices. Their situation doesn't look very optimistic. Their family has just arrived and is waiting in the operating room.
The person in the passenger seat died at the scene.
Hearing this, I was almost scared to death. Fortunately, you were lucky. It's truly God's blessing, a blessing!"
