“You’ve worked hard.” Nancy Stewart reached out his hand, wanting to pat his little sister’s head. He knew that although his sister acted carefree, she must have had a tough time while he was in a coma.

“All right, Emily, get some sleep.” Nancy Stewart was speaking much more smoothly now. He needed some quiet to carefully think over what the doctor had just said, because according to that on-duty doctor, he had only ruled out the possibility of becoming a vegetable for now, but whether his bodily functions could recover would depend on tomorrow’s daytime examination.

“I got electrocuted and still survived?” Nancy Stewart felt he was really lucky, because at the moment he hit the power distribution box, he could even smell the burnt scent of his own skin. But according to the doctor and Little Sister, it seemed he only had burns on his back. Could it be that he lost his sense of smell at the time?

“Hm? What’s this?”

Just as Nancy Stewart was thinking about the injury on his back, a line of text suddenly appeared in his mind.

[Repair Value: 30 points!]

Chapter 7 Repair Value

“Repair value? What the heck is that?”

Nancy Stewart opened his eyes and shook his head hard. He wondered if the electric shock had left him a bit muddleheaded, causing him to hallucinate. Looks like he’d better get a brain CT tomorrow just to be sure.

“Little Sister, turn on the light and see if there’s any writing on the wall?” Nancy Stewart called out to his sister. He suspected that maybe he’d seen some writing on the wall before Little Sister turned off the light, which was why he was hallucinating now.

“What writing? What’s wrong, bro? Should I call the doctor?” Emily Stewart was startled by her brother’s words and quickly turned on the light. All four walls were white—there was no writing anywhere.

“No… it’s nothing.” Nancy Stewart shook his head and said, “Maybe I was just hallucinating. It’s fine, you can turn the light off.”

“Bro, don’t scare me. If something’s wrong, don’t try to tough it out.” Emily Stewart came to her brother’s bedside, her face full of worry. After all, Nancy Stewart had been lying in bed for over twenty days, surviving only on nutrient solution. Who knew if something else might go wrong?

“It’s really nothing.” Nancy Stewart gave a wry smile and said, “I’m actually a bit hungry now. Little Sister, go home and make me some porridge.”

At this moment, Nancy Stewart really was a bit hungry, and he also wanted to send his sister away. He’d just checked the time—it was only a little after ten at night, and the hospital wasn’t far from their home. It wouldn’t take Little Sister long to go back and forth.

“If I go home, won’t you be here alone?” Emily Stewart thought for a moment and said, “Oh right, I haven’t told Mr. Carter you woke up yet. I’ll have Mr. Carter come keep you company, and I’ll go home to make porridge.”

“All right then.” Nancy Stewart felt a bit weary. After waving his hand lightly, he closed his eyes again. Given his relationship with David Carter, it wasn’t really a bother to ask him.

……

“Hm? It’s still there?” When Nancy Stewart closed his eyes again, he found that line of text still appeared in his mind.

[Repair Value: 30 points.]

“What on earth is this thing?” Nancy Stewart was stunned. He recognized all the characters, but had no idea what they meant or how they appeared in his mind.

“What is the repair value for?” Nancy Stewart couldn’t help but wonder in his heart. He didn’t expect any answer, but in the next moment, the words in his mind suddenly changed.

[Everything in the world can be repaired!]

“Damn, that’s a bold claim!” That was some serious bragging. Nancy Stewart cursed inwardly, “If you’re so great, repair an aircraft carrier for me! Everything in the world can be repaired, huh.”

[Sorry, insufficient repair value.] As if it knew what Nancy Stewart was thinking, the words changed again.

“Is this the legendary system?” In recent years, when Nancy Stewart had nothing to do while running his street stall, he’d read quite a few web novels. It seemed that some people, after surviving great disasters, would get some kind of fortuitous encounter. Could it be that he’d run into one today?

[Sorry, no comment!]

The ever-changing words in his mind kept answering Nancy Stewart’s questions.

“I wasn’t asking you.” Nancy Stewart retorted in his mind. For now, he didn’t care what this repair value was for, but the way he got it was just too extreme. According to Little Sister, he’d probably been electrocuted and then struck by lightning. The fact that he was still lying in a hospital bed meant he was tough. If it had been someone else, the grass on their grave might already be sprouting.

“What exactly can you repair?” Nancy Stewart asked in his heart, but as soon as he asked, he realized it was a pointless question. Sure enough, the next moment, the words [Everything in the world can be repaired] appeared in his mind again.

“Can the repair value fix my body?” Nancy Stewart suddenly had a thought. The burns on his back were just too painful—even lying still, it felt like they were on fire. Plus, after more than twenty days without eating, his body was extremely weak. For someone as energetic as Nancy Stewart used to be, this was very uncomfortable.

[Restore bodily functions: 20 repair value points. Heal back burns: 8 repair value points!]

The words in Nancy Stewart’s mind changed, making Nancy Stewart open his mouth wide in surprise, his throat letting out a “gurgle” sound that even he didn’t understand.
