I am weak and friendly

Chapter 412 Tang Yiping's New Roommate

【。 ·····】

This is Tang Yiping's dream. When he was choosing his attributes, he only had "weak" and "friendly" left. There was really nothing else to choose from, so he picked up six stones from the ground.

At least, that's what Tang Yiping thinks.

Previously, it was like this [...].

Now, one of the points has changed; it has become hollow.

Therefore, [...] became [...].

What exactly is this?
Is it... a progress bar?

If it's a progress bar, having only six progress bars is far too perfunctory.

Or does it represent that special port?

Is this actually a port indicator?
It actually has six ports?
Now, I've connected one of them to the "Survival Guide for the Weak," so I can hack into it?

Is that right?

"Ugh??"

Over there, Stoka was reading aloud when she suddenly realized that Tang Yiping wasn't responding, so she turned around and looked over.

"Forget it, you can handle those PR issues yourself," Tang Yiping said, waving to Stoka.

Reviewing OIFU's PR, where is there any more interesting research than "A Survival Guide for the Weak"?
"Awoo?" Stoka looked around, lay down on the ground, and started working.

Nearby, two subway staff members almost fell down completely as well.

The blind man, unable to see, couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

“That dog is…using its phone,” one of the staff members said. “It looks like…it’s typing? Or programming? Is it programming?”

blind:"???"

Is the world developing too fast?
When did guide dogs become able to help people with programming?
But... there's nothing wrong with that, right?

After all, the person in front of him is a student.

It doesn't matter what the students do, right?

The group found it strange, but they were also influenced by Tang Yiping's "the weak are harmless" attitude, so they couldn't muster any wariness.

That feeling of incongruity was incredibly strange.

Tang Yiping handed over the PR review work to Stoka and immersed himself in the newly introduced features.

Tang Yiping's gaze fell on the [。 ·····], and he saw a waterfall of code flowing down in front of him.

It's connected!
At this moment, Tang Yiping felt as if he were connecting to the server using an SSH terminal.

[The Survival Guide for the Weak] opened its doors to Tang Yiping for the first time.

The code flowing like a waterfall was in characters that Tang Yiping didn't recognize, but strangely, he was able to understand it.

The problem is that reading it doesn't necessarily mean Tang Yiping can understand it.

It's like a primary school student who has just learned to write and read a text, but doesn't necessarily understand the meaning behind it.

Moreover, Tang Yiping had absolutely no idea how to interact with this system.

He tried typing something in, and the "Survival Guide for the Weak" gave him feedback.

However, the feedback returned was always a brief "error command" message.

Clearly, what he entered was incorrect.

It seems I still have a long way to go before I can truly "hack in".

After concentrating on looking at the code for a while, Tang Yiping felt dizzy and his temples were throbbing.

Clearly, the [Flow Code] still puts a significant strain on the mind, and reading the code from the [Survival Guide for the Weak] puts an even greater mental strain on Tang Yiping. Even though Tang Yiping sacrificed his eyesight and released a large amount of brain resources, he still couldn't maintain this state for long.

He rubbed his temples and suddenly felt a faint light in front of his eyes.

then……

The code before him receded like the tide, and he emerged from that state.

The effects of the acquired blindness have worn off.

Even if Tang Yiping didn't deliberately try to break free from this negative state, the time a weakness could affect him was limited.

Just then, we arrived at a new station.

Many people poured into the carriage; it seemed to be a major station, and it was quite noisy.

"Ah, which station is this?" the blind man asked.

"We've arrived at Hailing High-Speed ​​Railway Station," a staff member said.

"Ah! I missed my stop!" the blind man exclaimed in surprise.

staff member:"……"

A bit awkward.

"I... forgot to remind you too."

Yes, the two of them were "watching" Stokka program from the sidelines, and they got hooked on watching.

The blind man and the staff hurriedly got off the bus.

After getting off the bus, the blind man turned back and "looked" in the direction of Tang Yiping and Stoka.

"I'm getting off the bus. Thank you, and thank you for your dog," the blind man said. "Take good care of it!"

Tang Yiping's vision returned at this moment, and he saw the backs of two people flash by outside the window.

Alas, I never got to see what he looked like, and I forgot to ask him his name.

After all, it was from him that I learned the weakness of "acquired blindness," which enabled me to unlock the divine skill of "flow code."

Tang Yiping looked up at the station name.

Realizing it was still early and there was still a long time before his next transfer, he was indeed very tired, so he closed his eyes.

A few seconds later, he fell fast asleep.

He was only woken up by a staff member who said, "Hey, we're almost at our stop, we need to transfer!"

"Thank you, I'll transfer by myself from now on."

"Let me help you."

"No need, I'm not blind anymore."

staff member:"???"

"Goodbye!" Tang Yiping turned his wheelchair around and headed straight for the accessible elevator.

Although Tang Yiping was no longer blind, he still managed to sneak onto the subway across the street using the power of "the weak are harmless" without being kicked out by security.

More than an hour later, when he emerged from the subway station near the school, he felt as if he had been transported to another world.

He took the bus from here to Hailing City for his internship.

When he went there, he was just an ordinary freshman.

When he came back, he had become a sophomore in college.

And there really were dogs.

From the subway station exit, there was less than a kilometer left to his school. Stokala sped along with Tang Yiping. Downstairs in the dormitory, he met his dormitory manager and Guo Ge, a school staff member who was in charge of coordinating with him.

As a student in a wheelchair, Tang Yiping has many unique needs, and this staff member helps him with many of them.

He even did many of the errands for Tang Yiping; the two had a very good relationship.

"Tang, you're finally back," said Brother Guo. "I was wondering if you'd forgotten the start date of school, and whether I should call to remind you."

Tang Yiping was embarrassed. Could you please not know me so well?

I'll feel embarrassed.

"Hello, Brother Guo, what can I do for you?" Tang Yiping quickly changed the subject.

“Your roommate graduated, so we’ve arranged a new roommate for you,” Guo Ge said. “However, you might need to keep an eye on and take care of this new roommate.”

"No problem. Is there anything I need to keep in mind?" Tang Yiping asked. This wasn't the first time he'd heard this request.

Although he was in a pretty bad situation, the amazing thing was that his roommate was in an even worse situation.

His previous roommate was a classmate who was paralyzed from the waist down. He lived in the next bedroom with his father, who was accompanying him to school. Apart from his head, he could not move many parts of his body.

Every time Tang Yiping saw him, he felt that he was still very lucky.

Although I can't run or jump, I can still stand up.

Although his roommate's father is able to move around normally, he is old and doesn't know how to do many things. Tang Yiping has helped him a lot with things like registering online, submitting assignments, and handling business online.

Of course, this uncle also helped Tang Yiping quite a bit.

Last year, this classmate graduated from his senior year, and his uncle specifically told Tang Yiping that if he had time, he must go and visit them.

However, their home was too far away, in the western region, and Tang Yiping felt that he probably wouldn't have the chance in his lifetime.

After all, I don't have many years left to live.

Uncle probably knew this too, which is why he was very reluctant to part with Tang Yiping at that time.

Is this another roommate who's even worse off than me?

"Yeah, your roommate's eyesight isn't very good this time," Guo said.

Tang Yiping: "???"

"What's wrong?" Brother Guo asked.

"No...nothing."

Even so, Tang Yiping still had a vague sense of unease.

Could it be... the blind person I met today?

Hmm, he got off the bus early, it couldn't be him.

There are still many blind people in this world.

However, it was quite a coincidence that I encountered two blind people in one day.

After all, I didn't go to a massage parlor for the blind.

“Hmm, Tang, your dog is…” Brother Guo looked at Stoka next to him.

"I might have to ask you for help with this," Tang Yiping said. "Stoka is my service dog, so I might need to report it to the school or apply for permission."

"Your condition... has worsened again?" Brother Guo frowned.

"It can't be considered a deterioration... but... maintaining the status quo will be very difficult," Tang Yiping said.

Tang Yiping sighed.

Actually, he was doing well at first, and through his efforts, he was able to stand up and take a few steps.

However, the talents that Tang Yiping extracted from Young Master Tang put immense pressure on his body, increasing his burden and causing him to become even weaker.

Unless these talents are all returned, this pressure will likely continue.

This will also cause his health to continue to deteriorate.

Unfortunately, the owners of these talents don't seem to be nearby. Tang Yiping's [Hidden Corruptor] didn't identify the owners of these talents, making it impossible for Tang Yiping to return them to them.

Tang Yiping felt that either these people were too far away, exceeding the perception range of the [Hidden Corruptor].

Or perhaps it's because these talents aren't actually gifts from this world, but rather come from Tang Shao Ye and his friends' own world.

If they can take away their own talents, then it's not surprising that they can take away the talents of their own people.

Just as once organs can be bought and sold, their legality becomes uncontrollable.

Tang Yiping felt that if he couldn't return these talents to their rightful owners for the time being, he might have to find a temporary "holder" for them.

But this process is not easy either.

Because talent is also a weakness, and ability is also a curse.

This gift of talent can greatly change a person's destiny and life.

Tang Yiping is just a human being, not a god, so how could he easily change other people's fate and lives?

Hearing Tang Yiping sigh, Brother Guo also sighed.

“Sometimes, I really hate my job…” he said.

There are dozens of students like Tang Yiping at Chuanling University with special circumstances. As a comprehensive university with more than 10,000 students, this proportion is less than one percent.

However, the absolute number is not small, and Brother Guo encounters all sorts of things on a daily basis.

When Tang Yiping met with Brother Guo, he heard him mention some things.

Tang Yiping even joked with Brother Guo.

He said that if he went on to graduate school, Guo Ge might still have a chance to see him off in his final days.

This joke is truly hellish.

So, that's what Guo Ge's job is like; although you can see many indomitable warriors fighting against fate.

But fate always prevails.

"Let's not talk about that." Brother Guo waved his hand. "Perfect timing. I was planning to go to the dormitory to see what kind of accessibility facilities we need to add. The existing facilities are quite suitable for you. Tang, could you give me some advice and suggest any improvements for blind people?"

"Oh? Speaking of blind people, I'm quite knowledgeable about that." Tang Yiping patted his chest. "Let me try it out for you first."

"That's great, you've helped me a lot."

Although Brother Guo said this, he didn't believe it in his heart.

But when he looked up, he saw that Tang Yiping's eyes had become dull.

Brother Guo: "???"

“Hirako?” he asked.

No, you're really putting on a convincing act.

After wandering around the dormitory with Brother Guo for a while, Tang Yiping did find a few areas that needed improvement, which Brother Guo noted down one by one.

Before leaving, Brother Guo said, "Your roommate should arrive today. Could you give him his student ID and campus card for me? If it's convenient, could you also explain our school to him? I'll take care of Stoka's matter for you." Brother Guo handed a card to Tang Yiping.

"Okay, no problem, I've got it covered! Thanks, Brother Guo!" Tang Yiping took the student ID and then glanced down at it.

I saw a face that looked somewhat familiar.

Actually, Tang Yiping didn't pay much attention to his appearance at the time, but now he recognized him at a glance.

It was definitely him, the blind man I met on the subway.

The one who learned to be "acquired blind" was the one who got so engrossed in watching Stoka program that he rode in a car.

Tang Yiping: "???"

No, I told you this wasn't that simple.

Why do I still find myself in this troublesome situation even though I've already used the "the weak are harmless" tactic?

You're saying this blind man is a student?
And I have to live in the same dormitory?
No, now that I'm not blind, that's a lie.

Tang Yiping was stunned.
