Top-Tier Superpower Student

"It's all my fault, all my fault... If it wasn't for me, Qianqian wouldn't have ended up like this." Lin Tian's voice choked up. He couldn't accept He Qianqian becoming a vegetable, and it was like his heart was being sliced with a knife.

Bu Mengting, watching by his side, could only try to comfort him. She felt equally terrible inside, as her relationship with He Qianqian was as close as sisters. When she learned that He Qianqian had become comatose, she nearly fainted on the spot.

Lin Tian had been unconscious for two days. She had rushed over and had barely closed her eyes in those two days, staying by his side and taking care of him.

"I want to see her," Lin Tian said, his face deathly pale.

"Okay, I'll help you get there," Bu Mengting nodded, then supported Lin Tian as they left the ward. Although He Qianqian was out of immediate danger, her bodily functions hadn't fully returned to normal. Her heartbeat and breathing were still occurring once every ten seconds or so, so even after leaving the emergency room, she was still in the intensive care unit, connected to an oxygen tank.

Lin Tian looked through the glass at He Qianqian, who lay on the hospital bed with her eyes closed, feeling as if his heart was being wrung out while also full of rage. His fists crackled, and there was a fierce glint in his eyes. If it hadn't been for Zhang Ya and the Li Family, He Qianqian wouldn't be in this state.

Zhang Ya had been beaten by him and thrown into the sea, her fate unknown, but the Li Family, he would surely not let them go.

"Mission alert: Save He Qianqian. Find healing-class energy sources for grafting. Time is unlimited. Mission reward: Time-reversal ability."

Just then, a voice from the Supernatural Ability System with a mission prompt sounded in Lin Tian's mind. He was first stunned, then his face lit up with ecstasy. He hadn't expected the Supernatural Ability System to present a method to save He Qianqian, which filled his heart with hope. As for the mission reward, he hadn't paid any attention to it; what he cared about most was how to save He Qianqian.

"Healing-class energy sources, huh? I'll find them as soon as possible," Lin Tian vowed, clutching his fist. "Qianqian, I won't let you stay like this for long."

Back in his ward, Lin Tian first used his clairvoyant ability to examine his own body. He couldn't help but take a sharp breath. There were countless shallow wounds on the surface of his body, but what was worse were the twelve broken bones inside, particularly the severe ones in his shoulder.

"I don't know when these injuries will heal," Lin Tian sighed helplessly. If only he had a healing potion now.

However, his Supernatural Points had run out, and the Supernatural Ability System was still undergoing an upgrade. It had been upgrading ever since it absorbed Albert's metal energy source and hadn't finished upgrading, leading Lin Tian to wonder somewhat speechlessly if the system had crashed. Who ever heard of an upgrade that takes so many days?

And to think it's a high technology from 3000 years in the future; it's really disappointing.

With his injuries not yet healed, Lin Tian could only lie in the hospital to recuperate. He visited He Qianqian's room every day and then would lie down on his own bed.

Bu Mengting also came to take care of Lin Tian every day.

Finally, on the fourth day, Lin Tian's Supernatural Ability System completed its upgrade. What excited Lin Tian was becoming the true master of the system after the upgrade.

It turned out that before, he merely possessed the Supernatural Ability System and the powers he had were only privileges given to him as the carrier by the system.

Now that he had become the master of the system, he learned its name: the Taotie System.

Of course, in the era 3000 years later, those who knew of this system called it 'Devourer of the Heavens' because it could devour anything related to energy to strengthen itself, which demonstrated its terrifying power.

The day after the system upgraded, Lin Tian had recovered from his injuries and could get out of bed because he drank a healing potion.

Having earned the Taotie System's acknowledgment, Lin Tian obtained primary-level privileges; he could use any item below level 3 at will without consuming any Supernatural Points.

Healing potions were now as common as tap water for him. If he hadn't been concerned about being too shocking, he might have been jumping out of bed the day before.

But what Lin Tian didn't know was that, even if he got out of bed today, he would still be thought of as astonishing. When Chen Lihui came into the ward and saw Lin Tian looking as though nothing had happened, his face expressed as much surprise as one could imagine. It took him quite a while to adjust his glasses and say, "Mr. Lin Tian, are you really alright?"

"..." Lin Tian couldn't help but feel a streak of black lines appear on his forehead at the words. Damn it, what are you implying? As if you really hope I'm not well?

"Oh... I'm sorry, Mr. Lin Tian. I know it's very impolite to ask that, but I am aware of your injuries. I predicted that the recovery time would be at least three months, and now you're completely healed in less than a week. I can hardly believe it, I hope you don't take it the wrong way," Chen Lihui hastily explained upon seeing the black lines on Lin Tian's forehead.

"Heh... Of course not. Actually, I should thank Dr. Chen. If it wasn't for you, perhaps I would be dead by now, along with my girlfriend," Lin Tian said with a smile of gratitude. "If Dr. Chen ever needs help in the future, just ask, and I, Lin Tian, will do all I can."

Lin Tian, to express his gratitude, made a promise to Chen Lihui.

"No need, no need. Saving lives is our duty, Mr. Lin Tian. If you talk like that, it's as if you're looking down on me, Chen Lihui," Chen Lihui said, waving his hand, dismissing Lin Tian's promise. Little did he know how much help this promise would later bring him.

Lin Tian didn't mind what Chen Lihui thought. He left him his number and then went to He Qianqian's ward.

Before the glass window Chen Lihui spoke with a grave expression, "Miss He Qianqian's situation isn't optimistic. Her breathing and heartbeat has constantly been maintained at once every ten seconds or so, which is an extremely dangerous state. Nobody can guarantee that she won't suddenly lose this balance, so Mr. Lin Tian, please prepare yourself mentally."

"May I go in and see her?" Lin Tian asked, with a touch of tenderness in his eyes.

"Of course, but the visit can't be too long. Miss He Qianqian is in a relatively stable state, but it's confined to this intensive care unit. If you stay too long, an accident might happen," Chen Lihui nodded and said.

"Thank you," Lin Tian nodded his thanks, aware that Chen Lihui must have taken a significant risk to allow him into the intensive care unit.

After going through a series of disinfection procedures and donning a sterile gown, Lin Tian was ready to enter the ward. But just as he was about to enter, he was stopped halfway by Cheng Yaojin.

"Stop right there, who allowed you to go in? Don't you know this is an intensive care unit? If something happens to the patient because you carelessly went in, who will be responsible?"
