I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 156 The mortality rate for taking a driver's license test is very high (16)

Thanks to the unspoken understanding between Chen Yu and Wang Chuyun, this small job that required money ultimately failed, but it didn't have much of an impact.

Even when Chen Yu and Wang Chuyun went to hand in the task, the hospital staff who issued the task didn't say anything, which suggests that this kind of thing is quite common.

Wang Chuyun's younger sister happened to be receiving treatment at this hospital. Upon learning of this, Chen Yu immediately suggested that since they were classmates, they should go and visit her together.

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Chuyun nodded and said, "Okay, but don't be afraid when you see it."

"Probably not."

However, upon seeing the other person, Chen Yu realized that he had spoken too soon.

There was only one patient in the huge ward, but more than a dozen nurses were serving this patient.

The patient looks about 80% like Wang Chuyun, but still has a childlike innocence.

A dozen or so heads hung from the necks like fruits, and the intertwined legs covered the ground like tree roots.

Arms extend from various parts of her body, making her look like a giant banyan tree from a distance, but all parts are made of human flesh.

The other party appeared to be asleep, each head bearing a sweet smile, seemingly immersed in the dream of some dream architect.

Staring blankly at his younger sister in the hospital room, Chen Yu felt like his mind had gone blank.

Wang Chuyun looked at her younger sister through the glass of the ward and said, "My sister has spiritual energy deficiency."

Is this disease really that terrifying?

"Yes. Spiritual energy deficiency syndrome often occurs in people with excellent spiritual roots. The patient awakens their spiritual roots too early, but their body is not nutritious enough to provide sufficient nutrition to their spiritual roots."

"If the spiritual root's aptitude is average, it's fine. But the spiritual root will stop developing and become what is called a pseudo-spiritual root."

"But if the spiritual root aptitude is too strong, such as above 80 points, then it will lie dormant and grow wildly when the spiritual energy is abundant, robbing other parts of the body of nutrients, and even modifying itself in order to obtain more spiritual energy."

“Most people might just have extra limbs or organs that can be removed. But my sister’s case is that her spiritual root score is 90, which is genius level. This is extremely rare, and it ended up like this.”

Chen Yu looked at the tree in the hospital room: "So that's how it is. Will she be stuck in her dreams forever?"

"At least for now, that's necessary. And I want to thank you."

"Why do you say that?"

Wang Chuyun turned her head and looked at Chen Yu with a sad but grateful smile: "Because the dream she was playing in was 'The Dreamer.' That dream has the effect of blurring the lines between reality and dreams. After the dream enhancement treatment at the hospital, my sister can remain immersed in the dream and unable to escape. In this way, even if she wakes up occasionally, she will think that she is dreaming, which can protect her spirit and prevent her from being stimulated by reality."

"Oh, I see... those kinds of dreams actually turned out to be beautiful dreams? Is reality really that messed up?"

Wang Chuyun covered her mouth and laughed: "That's right, so when will 'The Dreamer' have its ending?"

"We'll head out as soon as we get back! I've been wanting to finish this dream lately anyway. Let's go get our driver's licenses first."

"OK, all right."

After leaving the hospital with Wang Chuyun, the two sat on chairs outside the hospital and began to discuss taking their driver's license tests.

Chen Yu originally wanted to help Wang Chuyun with her medical expenses, but Wang Chuyun said it was fine. Her sister's case was very rare in Fuze and had research value, so Wang Chuyun only needed to cover the basic expenses.

Previously, earning this money was quite troublesome, but recently you can get rewards through "Quiz Showdown," and now every student at Tianyuan University can get 800 yuan in rewards, so you only need to work part-time occasionally.

At this point, Wang Chuyun subconsciously grasped Chen Yu's hand and said with a smile, "I still want to thank you, thank you."

"polite."

Without letting go, Wang Chuyun opened her notebook in front of Chen Yu. It was filled with various precautions for taking the driver's license test.

Glancing at the notes, Chen Yu discovered that they had identified all the possible pitfalls, along with his own assessments and reasoning—enough to be published as a driving school handbook.

She adjusted her non-prescription glasses, looked at her notebook, and asked, "To get a driver's license, you need to go to driving school first. Chen Yu, which level of driving school do you want to attend?"

"Grade A".

"Then I'll enroll you in a reputable driving school. You can start preparing for the test in about six months. If you fail, you can retake it for free. If you fail three times, the instructor will personally help you take the test."

"Cheating?"

"Yes, it's possession. The instructor will possess you and help you with the test. However, this method is easily discovered, and if discovered, you will be banned from taking driving tests for life, and also banned from taking the college entrance exam. Even so, every year people still take the risk."

Chen Yu gasped, marveling at how hard these people were working for the college entrance exam.

However, he was pressed for time and had a lot of tasks to complete. After getting his driver's license, he had to go back to finish "Dream Man" and continue to torment people, so he asked directly, "Is there anything faster? Half a year is too slow."

After flipping through her notes, Wang Chuyun pointed to the section marked "Not Recommended" and said, "There's a one-month program that even beginners can participate in, but it's a bit pricey. The instructors will temporarily break down the students, with each instructor responsible for a specific muscle group. Through continuous training, students develop strong muscle memory, and then they'll be proficient."

Immediately waving his hand in rejection of the suggestion, Chen Yu said sincerely, "I have a foundation, so isn't there a driving school where I can learn and take the test on the same day and go back to school the next day?"

Wang Chuyun thought for a while, then turned to the last few pages and pointed to a method she absolutely did not recommend, saying, "Yes, there is. They pay you to participate. No training is needed, and you can get a driver's license on the same day. It's a top-tier, perfect license, and only those in the Qi Refining stage can participate."

"That's good... Wait, pay me? Give me the money?"

"That's right, because the mortality rate is very high."

"How can taking a driving school exam be related to the mortality rate?"

"Because it's a death race, the kind that's broadcast live the whole time. There's a race every week, with extra races on holidays, but only one person can get a driver's license and get full marks in the labor section of the college entrance exam. But because of the fame and monetary rewards, many people participate even if they don't take the college entrance exam. And this competition can only be participated in by people without a driver's license, so many people would rather never have a driver's license in their lives than not participate in the competition."

"Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"

"That's normal," Wang Chuyun said. "Besides, this competition requires one person to pilot the puppet and another to act as the navigator. So, Chen Yu, do you have anything to say?"

Seeing Wang Chuyun grinning mischievously as she looked at him, Chen Yu could only wave his hand and say to her, "Can you be my navigator?"

"Of course, please take good care of me."
