Hu Qi said he was sorry, but his actions were extremely honest, and he took it naturally.
After all, his understanding of this world was very limited, and relying solely on the original owner's memories was always a bit unreliable.
Moreover, lying on a hospital bed at the moment, having a mobile phone would undoubtedly be of great help to him.
At least it could be used to pass the time.
The two chatted for a while.
Li Yi had an appointment with a classmate in the afternoon, so after helping to empty a urinal, he left with the meal box.
Before leaving, he also told Hu Qi to call him if he needed anything.
Watching the other party's departing back, the smile on Hu Qi's face slowly faded.
The current situation was not too bad.
At least this so-called aunt's family treated him quite well.
Although it was only directed at the original body, not him, the Transmigrator.
However, the result was the same.
But even so, he could not always rely on their support.
Hu Qi was not that thick-skinned, not to mention he was not the original owner, so there was no reason for him to enjoy these things with a clear conscience.
Therefore, the best way was to make money.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but fall into contemplation.
From the current perspective, the technological level of this world was not much different from that of his previous life; everything that should be there was there, with only slight differences in some subtle aspects.
This world was called Earth Star, and its area was larger than the Blue Star of his previous life, roughly three or four times bigger.
Originally, it was also a place where many nations stood, constantly embroiled in conflict.
However, this situation changed about a hundred years ago.
Led by the two strongest nations, Dragon Abyss and Violet Gold, they suddenly ceased hostilities and shook hands, making peace.
They formed the current Xi Ya Federation, achieving complete unification.
This also led to more concentrated educational resources, with various talents and elites emerging.
And the original owner was just a poor young man who had just finished high school and dropped out to work, usually only earning some hard-earned money.
What's more, he was now very likely to become a disabled person with inconvenient legs, and his future was bleak.
Wanting to get rich by relying on the technological knowledge from his previous life was clearly unrealistic.
After all, the technological level of this world was not low; in some aspects, it even surpassed his.
As for being a plagiarist, copying ancient poems and lyrics to become a Great Master writer or a Great Master composer?
Heh heh! He sadly discovered that he only knew some simple poems and a few simple lyrics.
In this world that had already developed into a federal system and was almost globally unified, there was no way he could compare to those Great Masters and famous artists.
However, if operated properly, earning a small amount of money should not be a big problem.
Of course, this would require checking information later and specifically understanding the situation in this world before making a decision.
Hu Qi sighed in his heart; this Transmigration was not as good as his previous life.
In his previous life, after his own struggles, he had at least bought a house, and most of the mortgage had been paid off.
He was considered a homeowner.
The only benefit of the current Transmigration, in Hu Qi's opinion, was that it turned him from a middle-aged man in his thirties into a young man in his early twenties.
Suddenly, at this moment, a scarlet light flashed across his eyes again.
However, this time the scarlet light did not just flash and disappear.
These scarlet lights seemed to have a life of their own, constantly twisting.
Soon, a line of peculiar runes, outlined like fresh blood, appeared before his eyes.
Scarlet Modifier activating... Activation complete!
Although he didn't recognize these characters, upon seeing them, Hu Qi clearly understood their meaning.
He was slightly stunned, then calmly pulled open the brown-yellow curtain on one side, finding that the two fellow patients in the room were motionless, seemingly in an afternoon nap.
Seeing this, he withdrew his gaze and began to examine the panel floating before him.
Host: Hu Qi
Status: Abnormal (Double leg fractures) △
Age: 21 (Remaining Lifespan 59 years)
Skill: Cooking (Proficient) △
Modification Value: 8
The panel was extremely concise, with only a few lines of text.
Hu Qi was no stranger to this thing, because it was a cheat he had programmed for a game. Because of its font, he named this thing the Scarlet Modifier.
Its function was also very simple: it could modify everything about a game character without side effects.
However, there was no such thing as Modification Value back then; it must have undergone some unknown change during the time of his Transmigration.
Afterward, he simply fumbled around a bit and roughly understood the function of this Modification Value.
Using Modification Value, one could modify everything on the panel.
In addition, this Modification Panel could be retracted and expanded with his thoughts.
Just like a game character's personal panel.
Hu Qi's gaze began to scan the panel.
Soon, he noticed that next to 'Status' and 'Cooking', there was a flashing, rotating triangle-like symbol, which indicated that modifications could be made.
However, his gaze fell on the remaining Lifespan in the 'Age' column.
Instantly, a more detailed set of numbers appeared in his sight.
59 years, 36 days, 5 hours, 23 minutes, 36 seconds.
The final 36 seconds were still decreasing.
"Can this also be modified?" This thought suddenly popped into his mind.
However, unfortunately, there was no triangular symbol indicating modifiability next to this column.
Perhaps the Modification Value was insufficient, or there were other reasons.
Shaking his head, his gaze moved down to the 'Skills' column.
There was only one skill listed: Cooking, and it had reached the Proficient Rank.
His gaze fell on the word "Proficient," and instantly, a piece of information was fed back.
Ordinary skills like Cooking were divided into six Ranks: (Beginner, Skilled, Minor Achievement, Proficient, Major Achievement, Perfection).
And this Cooking skill did not come from the original owner, but from Hu Qi himself. In his previous life on Blue Star, his profession was a chef who had worked for over ten years.
For him, various cuisines came easily.
But unexpectedly, in the panel's evaluation, it was only Proficient.
It seemed that there was still a lot of room for improvement in his cooking skills.
Hu Qi's gaze only paused for a moment and did not linger.
Because his Modification Value had other uses.
Thinking of this, he looked at the triangular symbol next to the 'Status' column.
As his thoughts condensed, a line of information also appeared.
Status: Abnormal (Moderate double leg fractures). Do you want to modify?
It really works!
Hu Qi's eyes brightened, and he immediately gave the command in his mind without any hesitation.
"scarlet! Modify!"
Buzz!
As Hu Qi's thought fell, the translucent scarlet panel floating before him vibrated slightly.
The Modification Value changed from 8 to 7.
At the same time, the rune representing the 'Status' column twisted.
When it became clear again, it had indeed changed to:
Status: Abnormal (Minor double leg fractures).
"One Modification Value, changed moderate fracture to minor fracture?"
Hu Qi pondered.
He could clearly feel two cool Qi currents appearing in the previously numb and painful areas of his legs.
