After their minds were read, the entire court trembled with fear.

Chapter 274 Modern Era

*Note: From this point on, Shen Zhiyi has a romantic storyline. Her main partner is the professor (the newly appointed Minister of Personnel). If you mind this, you can stop reading here.

……

[System self-check in progress.]

[Bug investigation in progress.]

The first bug has been confirmed.

[Fixed...1%...100%]

[A second bug has been confirmed.]

[Fixed...1%...100%]

[The third bug has been confirmed.]

[Fixed...1%...100%]

Shen Zhiyi frowned, her ears filled with the system's voice.

"very noisy."

The activity of the host's brain cells has been restored.

The host's abnormal cells have returned to normal.

[Dear host, welcome back.]

As the system's voice faded, Shen Zhiyi slowly opened her eyes. The surroundings were blindingly white. Before she could perceive anything further, a pair of hands covered her eyes.

A familiar and pleasant voice rang in my ears.

"Close your eyes."

Shen Zhiyi thought to herself: If you tell me to close my eyes, I'll just close them. That would be so embarrassing for me. So I'll keep my eyes open.

The butterfly-like eyelashes brushed against the palm of the person who made the sound, making it tickle.

A soft laugh rang in Shen Zhiyi's ears again, so pleasant that it sent shivers down her spine.

Hmm, that voice sounds familiar, like I've heard it somewhere before. It sounds like that stingy guy's voice.

The thought of the newly appointed Minister of Personnel holding a jade abacus jolted Shen Zhiyi awake.

She slapped the large hand covering her eyes away and sat up in bed.

Just as Shen Zhiyi was about to reveal that she had no money, she immediately realized something was wrong.

The scene before me resembled a hospital ward, and certainly had nothing to do with antique charm.

She's back?

Then came a feeling of dizziness coming from the brain.

"After lying in the hibernation pod for more than a year, it's normal to feel dizzy when you suddenly get up like this."

Shen Zhiyi rubbed her throbbing head and turned to look at the voice.

She was completely stunned when she saw the other person's familiar face.

"It's an illusion, it must be an illusion."

"Well, all the indicators are normal now. If we observe for a while and confirm there are no problems, we can go home."

Shen Zhiyi didn't hear a single word the man said.

[Host, you're back, why aren't you happy?]

[Aaaaaah, System, what's going on? I'm dead, aren't I?]

A soft laugh reached my ears.

There's a difference between being close to death and being dead.

Shen Zhiyi: ...

Who is this person? Their words are really unpleasant to hear.

[Host, this is the professor.]

The system added a comment as an aside.

Your savior.

Shen Zhiyi's mind was a complete mess. She carefully recalled what happened after she fell into the manhole cover, and yes, it was all her memories from Daye.

"Wow, falling into a manhole cover can actually kill someone half to death?"

"If someone falls headfirst onto the ground, it's very likely they'll become a vegetable."

The professor seemed worried that Shen Zhiyi might not remember, so he thoughtfully had the system play some surveillance footage for her.

In the quiet of the campus late at night, she ate a chicken leg and a grilled gluten, taking bites from the left and right, completely oblivious to where she was going.

Unexpectedly, some scoundrel left a banana peel on her foot. She stepped on it, leaned forward, and just then, there was a manhole cover missing in front of her. By sheer coincidence, she landed headfirst, hitting the peel squarely on her.

Shen Zhiyi closed her eyes.

This incident taught her that she had to be careful where she walked, or this would be her fate.

[Host, your parents and brother will arrive at your bedroom in two minutes.]

Shen Zhiyi's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Instinctively, I threw off the covers and got out of bed, but my legs went weak and I knelt directly on the ground, with a large shadow in front of me.

Then a mocking voice came from above.

"Although I am your savior, there is no need for such a grand gesture."

Shen Zhiyi clenched her fist, annoyed.

"Professor Jiang, is my little Yiyi awake?"

It's my mother's voice.

Shen Zhiyi looked up excitedly, then froze in place for the next second.

"Hey, don't push me."

"Old man, can you move back a bit? You're crowding me."

"You brat, you're so big, can't you see you're squeezing me and your mother?"

The three of them squeezed into the small doorway, none of them willing to give way.

Shen Zhiyi took a deep breath and stretched out her little hand: "Mom and Dad, brother, I really missed you so much."

The three were taken aback, but then, perhaps overwhelmed by the powerful force of family ties, they all squeezed in at the same time and gave Shen Zhiyi a tight hug.

"Waaah, my poor daughter, you're finally awake."

"Waaaaah, my poor little sister, I thought you didn't want to come back."

The sound of crying could be heard from inside the bedroom and even outside the hallway.

The heartwarming scene was broken only by the sound of a rumbling stomach.

Shen Zhiyi scratched the back of her head and said shyly, "I'm hungry."

"Sweetie, whatever you want to eat, Mom will buy it for you."

"Miss Shen may not be in a good position to indulge in a large meal right now."

Professor Jiang, who had been ignored by everyone, finally attracted attention at this moment.

"250, bring over some corn and lean meat porridge, remember it should be corn kernels."

"Good professor."

Soon, a round robot came over carrying a bowl of porridge.

Shen Zhiyi walked barefoot on the soft carpet, looking around curiously.

"Host, I am the system."

"So your name is 'Two Hundred and Fifty'!"

system:……

He really wanted to pour the porridge directly onto Shen Zhiyi's head, but he didn't dare.

After finishing a bowl of porridge, Shen Zhiyi gradually emerged from her state of bewilderment and ecstasy.

She looked at the group of people in front of her thoughtfully and asked with a puzzled expression, "Is there something you haven't told me?"

The expressions of Dad, Mom, and the older brother immediately turned guilty.

"Little Yiyi, you have no idea how scared your mother was back then."

As she spoke, her mother began to sob softly.

"Given the current medical conditions, and given that you received timely treatment, I don't know why your brain has remained in a near-dead state and you just can't wake up."

"Fortunately, Professor Jiang has an experiment that your genes are a good fit. You see, we made the right decision back then, and now you've woken up."

Shen Zhiyi was completely confused and hesitated before asking, "Is it really that simple?"

"Yes, it's that simple!!!"

Shen Zhiyi didn't believe it. She knew that Professor Jiang didn't look like someone who could afford to treat her illness.

She had many questions in her mind and didn't know where to start.

"Come with me."

Professor Jiang got up from the soft sofa, and Shen Zhiyi followed behind him with the help of her family.

Once she stepped out of the room, she realized that this godforsaken place was not a hospital at all.

"This is the research department of Future Group."

Although it's called a department, they actually built an entire separate building for it.
