Chapter 56: FPS Game
"Today, let's play some games for a while. What games do you usually play?" Qin Chuan suddenly asked.
Jian Yiling raised her head and looked at Qin Chuan before she shook her head.
She didn't play games.
"Have you never played those dress-up or strategy games before?"
Qin Chuan worked in the gaming/internet industry. As a result, he knew quite a bit about market trends. He knew the type of games that the younger female audience enjoyed.
Again, Jian Yiling shook her head.
Jian Yiling appeared to look as though she didn't have any interest in the things that he was saying.
Qin Chuan opened his laptop. He let Jian Yiling pick a game that she wanted to play.
There were all kinds of games on Qin Chuan's laptop. However, he didn't download the games to play them but rather, they were to help him understand the market better.
"Why play games?" Jian Yiling asked Qin Chuan.
"Your grandma wants you to have more entertainment. She doesn't want you to overexert yourself on studying." Qin Chuan replied. He didn't plan to hide the truth from her.

Jian Yiling paused for a moment before she turned around to look at Qin Chuan's desktop.
"This one." Jian Yiling said as she pointed to 'Zerg Invasion.'
This was an FPS game that had just become popular recently.
Jian Yiling knew about this game because it was made by Jian Yuncheng's overseas company.
The game had become popular as soon as it came out.
It was partially the reason why Jian Yuncheng was so tired recently.
The background of the game was about an interstellar war. In the beginning, players would embark off an interstellar spaceship. They would enter an alien planet with the other players. That alien planet would be infested by the zerg.
By killing the ferocious zerg, the players could gain corresponding points and rewards.
By the time the round ends, the player with the highest number of points wins.
Qin Chuan was quite surprised that Jian Yiling picked this game. Although this game was quite fun and popular, it was relatively violent. It wasn't suitable for someone timid like Jian Yiling.
"This game is quite violent and bloody. The visuals were made to make it realistic. It might make you uncomfortable."

Qin Chuan explained. He tried to persuade Jian Yiling to give up on playing this game. He didn't want her to be frightened.
"No, this one." Jian Yiling replied.
Qin Chuan couldn't win an argument against Jian Yiling. He logged into the game with his account.
Qin Chuan's account was considered to be relatively high. His past records were quite good as well.
After they found a game, the screen switched into a first-person perspective. From this perspective, you could see the interstellar spacecraft cabin.
At this time, Jian Yiling could pick a gun she wanted to use.
Qin Chuan was afraid that Jian Yiling didn't know what to do. He decided to introduce her to the funs. "This one is UMP9 and the other one here is UZI. They are both submachine guns. They fire fast and they're good for close combat. 98k is a sniper rifle. They fire slowly however they're good for long-range shots. A single shot does a lot of damage..."
Qin Chuan was in the middle of explaining when Jian Yiling had already picked up an M4 and rushed out.
After leaving the interstellar spaceship, the player wouldn't encounter the Zerg immediately. The system will give the player a certain amount of time to pick a suitable location to hide.
Usually, new players would choose to go with the other players.
If you went alone, the game would easily turn into a horror game. A huge Zerg may pop out behind you suddenly.

Qin Chuan was about to guide Jian Yiling to follow the other players. However, Jian Yiling ran off by herself.
Qin Chuan couldn't help but start to worry.
She got scared when he approached her. What would her reaction be if she sees the terrifying aliens in the game?
After a minute, Jian Yiling picked up her M4 and fired at the Zerg. It was a headshot.
After five minutes, Jian Yiling's kill count went up to 10.
After fifteen minutes, there were only three people that were still alive. Jian Yiling was one of them. She also held the most points.
At eighteen minutes, the game ended. Jian Yiling had gotten first place.
Chapter 57: Different from Expectations
Qin Chuan watched the end game screen for quite a while before he asked, "Have you played this game before?"
Jian Yiling shook her head.
This was the first time she played this game. However, she had played other shooting games before.
Like any good shooter game, the handling of the gun was very realistic. There would be a recoil along with the drop of the bullet.
The game 'Zerg Invasion' created by Jian Yuncheng's business was just like that.
Although it was Jian Yiling's first time playing this game, she quickly got used to it. She was familiar with playing other shooting games.
Qin Chuan didn't know what to say for quite a while.
Jian Yiling appeared to look quiet. However, when she was playing the game, her actions were ruthless, precise, and accurate. Her APM was incredibly high as well.
If you were to just look at the character in the game, you would definitely not imagine that the person sitting opposite the computer screen was a quiet girl.
After Jian Yiling played a match, she returned the computer to Qin Chuan.
"You're not playing another match?"
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Jian Yiling shook her head.
For her, playing the game was not leisure time. Rather, it was to complete a mission â a mission that her grandma had given her.
Qin Chuan had an inexplicable sense of frustration.
Jian Yiling was quite different from his expectations.
After that, Qin Chuan saw Jian Yiling open her own laptop. She pulled out some study material and exercises.
As he couldn't do anything else, he once again sat opposite to Jian Yiling.
While he waited for Jian Yiling to ask him a question, Qin Chuan took the time to communicate with his mother's physician.
[Dr. Zheng, please take care of my mother. I'll prepare the money needed as soon as possible.]
Qin Chuan's mother had been hospitalized for quite some while. Recently, her health condition had been deteriorating.
[It's not only a matter about money. At this hospital, we can only take conservative medical practices. If you want to cure her completely, you need to contact the Huiling Medical Research Institution that I suggested last time. Did you manage to contact them?]
The doctor had tried his best. However, there was a limit to his abilities.

[I've tried to contact them. However, they still haven't replied to me.]
[You can't blame them. There are hundreds and thousands of patients that try to contact them every single day. If there aren't special circumstances, they usually don't reply. ]
[Could you send me the address of the Huiling Medical Institution? I want to visit them.]
[I can give you the address. But even if you go, you can't achieve much. You can't enter the gates.]
Qin Chuan looked at the screen and was silent for a moment. Slowly, he began to type a reply: [But I still have to try. I am willing to pay any price as long as I can save my mother.]
Jian Yiling who sat opposite to him was also replying to her messages.
[Dr. F.S, you still remember that we have an appointment tomorrow afternoon right?]
[Yep.]
[The QR code that I sent you is valid for a week. If you have any questions, you can contact me directly. You can also contact me before you arrive and I'll wait for you at the door.]
[It's fine. I won't trouble you.]
[No worries. Let's talk more tomorrow afternoon.]

The other person Jian Yiling was communicating to was a young man in his twenties. Standing behind him was an old professor. The professor had gray hair.
"How is it?" The professor asked.
"There's no problem. He said that he will be here tomorrow afternoon."
The person who was responsible for contacting Jian Yiling was Cheng Yi. He was the professor's favorite pupil.
"Okay. Confirm with him again tomorrow morning. You must make sure that he can come over," the professor emphasized.
Chapter 58: Research Institution (1)
"Professor, don't worry. He shouldn't break his promise. He doesn't seem like someone who would go back on his words."
"I don't know. I'm just afraid that someone will steal our talent from us," the professor commented. It was better to be safe than sorry.
Other medical institutions would also want to absorb such talent.
Therefore, they must act first. If they could get in touch, they would want to get the contract signed as soon as possible.
This was the safest and most secure way.
"Okay, I know. I'll maintain contact with him." Cheng Yi was also quite curious about this Dr. F.S.
He had seen the report that Dr. F.S had published on SCI. He wanted to ask for advice and discuss certain topics.

On Monday afternoon, after Jian Yiling ate lunch, she asked the teacher for leave. She told the teacher she had a stomachache and went to the infirmary.
However, she didn't stay at the infirmary for long. Jian Yiling took an absence slip from school and left.
She took a bus from the school gates. Along the way, she had to switch buses.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
The Huiling Research Institution was situated in a rather remote area in Hengyuan City. It was at the terminal stop of route 716.
When there were two or three stops left, there were only two people left on the bus. One was Jian Yiling, and the other was a middle-aged woman.
The woman's eyes were flushed red and it appeared as though she had many things on her mind.
When they reached the terminal stop, the woman and Jian Yiling both got off the bus.
As soon as she got off the bus, the woman hurried towards the entrance of the institution.
The gate was a high-security electronic alloy door. The woman hesitated at the door for a long time but she couldn't open the door.
Thus, the woman began to hit the door as she yelled loudly:
"Please, I'm begging you! The hospital said you guys made a special medicine that can save my husband. Please! I'm begging you. Please save my husband's life!"
The woman shouting became louder and louder. Tears streamed down her face as she yelled.
The woman was making a little too much noise. The security guard came out to try to stop her.
"Madam, please calm down. If you have any questions or issues, you can submit an application to the website of our institution. After filling in the relevant patient information, the institution will filter through the applications. If your husband meets the requirements, our institution will contact you."

"Don't lie to me! I submitted the application over a month ago! No one answered! My husband is about to die! And you're still asking me to wait! Are you asking me to wait until he dies?!"
"Madam, please calm down. If your husband is not selected, that may be because your husband's condition is not suitable for the new drug that is still in its clinical trials."
"You're lying! What do you mean not suitable? You just think that we have no money! That's the reason why you refuse to give us medicine! You've given all the medicine to those rich people!"
The woman refused to listen to the security guard's words. She was focused on the fact that the institute refused to give her the medicine because they couldn't afford it.
The security guard looked quite helpless, "Madam, that's really not the case. If your husband doesn't meet the requirements, we can't give him the wrong medicine."
Suddenly, the woman decided to lie down on the ground. "I'm not going anywhere. If you don't give me the medicine, I'll die at the gates of your institution. I'll let everyone see what sort of institution you are! You guys lack conscience and make people die!"
The security guard couldn't do anything. He had no choice but to let the woman lie on the ground.
He had seen a lot of people come to the medical institution and act this way. It had become a norm for him.
Jian Yiling walked around the woman and walked towards the door.
The security guard stepped forward to stop her, "Little girl, you should be at school. Don't come and cause trouble like your mother is."
The security guard had mistaken the relationship Jian Yiling had with the woman.
Chapter 59: Research Institution (2)
"I want to go in," Jian Yiling said as she pointed at the place where the access card was swiped.
"I've told you already. You guys can't go in. You must follow the proper procedure. If everyone was like the two of you, everything will be a mess. Please take your mother away. You won't achieve anything doing this." The security guard attempted to persuade her.
"She's not my mother." Jian Yiling replied.
"How is she not your mother? Both of you came at the same time. I saw it with my own eyes! Why else would a junior high school student come to our research institution? Don't lie to me. Are you saying this so you can run past me when I'm not paying attention?"
The security guard was determined that Jian Yiling was the daughter of the woman.
"I made an appointment with the person inside," Jian Yiling replied. Her face was calm and collected. Her demeanor was completely different from the woman who was crying and wailing on the ground.
"Who did you make an appointment with? Don't be so shameless. Why are you lying now?"
The security guard looked and sounded quite done.
Made an appointment with the person inside? This reason was quite impossible. Why would someone in the research institution have an appointment with a child?
After he finished speaking, the security guard looked at the woman who was lying on the ground. In his mind, he told himself that this mother taught her daughter badly.
He sighed internally.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
At this exact moment, someone in the research institution sent a message to Jian Yiiling. The messaged asked about her location.
[Dr. F.S, where are you right now?]
Jian Yiling returned a message: [I'm at the door. But I can't get in.]
The other party immediately replied: [Wait there, I'll pick you up at the door.]
After waiting for about five minutes, the door of the institution opened.
As soon as the door opened, the woman who was lying on the floor reacted first.
She jumped up and rushed towards the door.
The guard responded promptly and quickly grabbed at the woman.
The woman made a fierce cry before she started to throw a tantrum again. "Let go! Let go! I want to see the head of your institution!"
A slender man in a white coat walked out of the door. He was wearing glasses that were rimmed in gold.
He was relatively thin and appeared to look educated and cultured.

His hair was cut short and his skin was pale. The color of his skin was probably due to staying inside the research institution all year round.
"Doctor, doctor! Please save my husband!"
Although the woman was stopped by the security guard, she kept trying to throw herself at Cheng Yi.
It resembled a cheetah trying to pounce at its prey.
Cheng Yi glanced at the two women in front of him. Out of habit, his index finger pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses.
"What's the matter?" Cheng Yi asked the guard.
"This lady brought her daughter to ask for medicine to save her husband. She said that she had already registered on the website." The security guard explained.
And thus, Cheng Yi explained to the woman and Jian Yiling, "Please calm down. If you've already registered but not yet been notified, it's because the patient details do not meet the conditions for our new clinical trial."
However, the woman wasn't listening to any of the explanation, "You're lying! You say that you don't charge money but you're probably just secretly collecting money! You probably gave the entire quota to those people who paid you in secret!"
Cheng Yi felt a headache coming. He turned around and spoke to the guard, "If it doesn't work, please call the police. I have an important guest today."
Once the woman heard that the police might get contacted, she became much quieter. However, she refused to leave the door.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Cheng Yi looked around. Dr. F.S said that he'd already reached the door. Why was he nowhere to be seen?
Cheng Yi asked the guard, "Apart from this mother and daughter, has anyone else visited today?"
The guard shook his head and replied, "Other than people from the institution, it's only been these two."
"That's strange. He clearly sent me a message saying that he reached the door..."
Chapter 60: Research Institution (3)
Hence, Cheng Yi took out his phone again and sent another message to Dr. F.S:
[Dr. F.S, where are you right now? I'm at the gate of the institution. I don't see you.]
Once Cheng Yi's message was sent, he immediately received a reply.
[I'm in front of you.]
Huh?
Cheng Yi was taken aback.
In front of him?
There was only a woman who was throwing a tantrum and a girl from junior high in front of him.
There was no one else.
Was he blind?
Jian Yiling stepped forward and held her phone up to show Cheng Yi.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Cheng Yi saw the conversation that he was having with Dr. F.S on the screen.
How could this be... Why was it on her phone?
What was the situation?
Cheng Yi stared at the screen blankly for a while. And then he stared at the owner of the phone.
"You..." After he thought for a while, Cheng Yi came up with another possibility. "Did Dr. F.S ask you to come on his behalf?"
"I am F.S." Jian Yiling replied.
Huh?
"Don't mess with me! According to what I know, Dr. F.S is a biology graduate from a well-known university."
"You're talking about the information of the account I use. That's not my information."
To publish articles in the scientific community, you must have a communications account.
All of the communications accounts require your real name. Only people with relevant qualifications could register.

It was impossible for Jian Yiling to register for such an account.
The authentication information that she had filled in was her second brother's information. Jian Yunmo's qualifications met the requirements for registering for such an account.
The information that Cheng Yi had found out was also regarding her brother.
Cheng Yi was stunned. The relevant information that they had found was indeed based on the details on the communications account.
And the articles that were published didn't have to be from the same person. For example, a university professor could often use his account to publish an article of his student. They had considered the scenario that Dr. F.S wasn't the person that they were searching for.
However, even if Dr. F.S wasn't the person who set up the communication account, it still shouldn't be the little girl in front of him!
"No, wait. Ahh, let me think. I feel like my mind is being muddled."
Cheng Yi was indeed very confused.
There was no doubt about Dr. F.S's ability. 'His' articles that were published and 'his' talents that were shown during their conversation was the best amongst the industry.
Cheng Yi had imagined how Dr. F.S would look like. He imagined a middle-aged man, a bald professor, a young man in his thirties, or even a genius wearing heavily rimmed glasses in their twenties.
However, the last thing he would have imagined would be a young girl.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
The discrepancy between what he had imagined and reality was a bit too big for him to handle.
Cheng Yi carefully looked at Jian Yiling again. She was an exquisite looking girl. However, no matter how he examined her, it didn't align with the image he had of Dr. F.S.
After a while, Cheng Yi asked Jian Yiling in a low voice.
"Are you... In junior high school?"
"Senior high school."
Ahhh, she was in senior high. However, she looked like a junior high school student.
The guard who was standing next to Cheng Yi and Jian Yiling was also stunned.
"Then, Dr. Cheng, did this little girl really have an appointment with you?"
"Even though it's hard for me to accept, I think that is the truth..."
When the guard heard Cheng Yi's reply, he was shocked and also quite embarrassed.
When he reflected on what he had assumed and claimed previously, his face became flushed.
