A little past midnight, Chen Mo’s soul floated in the air.

There were now two more doctors in the hospital room. They stared at the numbers on the monitors, trying their best to suppress their excitement.

Yes.

After getting that reward and returning to reality, Chen Mo’s body, which had only been kept alive by the system, had finally started to improve.

For many days, the machines had shown almost no change. Those slight readings had only meant Chen Mo was still alive.

But now, everything was changing for the better.

Just like the doctors, Chen Mo was extremely excited.

This was the first step in his body’s recovery.

Once Luo Xianxue’s mission was complete, and his body recovered for the most part, seeing the light again would no longer be a dream.

And what excited Chen Mo even more wasn’t just that.

If rewards from system missions could affect reality too, then if he completed enough missions in the future, wouldn’t reaching the peak of life be easy?

Hiss...

Just thinking about it made him excited.

After floating around the hospital room for more than two hours, Chen Mo finally returned to his body and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, the doctors continued checking all of his physical data.

At the same time, Chen Mo’s parents hurried over as well.

His younger sister, Chen Ying, had school. On top of that, she usually came to visit in the afternoon, and that was when Chen Mo was usually inside the simulated life.

So he hadn’t seen his sister for over a week.

His body was gradually recovering. This was not only great news for Chen Mo, but also for his family.

Chen Mo hadn’t seen a smile on his mother’s face for many days.

Just wait.

Once this mission was complete, and with the system in hand, life would only get better from here.

Chen Mo looked at the system panel.

There were now two lives he could choose from.

The first was Luo Xianxue, whose affection had reached the critical point of 79.

The other was Little Ash, whom he had simulated yesterday. Its affection had stabilized at 65.

Chen Mo guessed it was because he had stepped forward yesterday and taken a kick for Little White.

The goodwill of animals was often very simple.

Luo Xianxue’s current status was: studying.

Little Ash’s status was: unconscious.

If it stayed unconscious for the whole day, then simulating Little Ash’s life... no, cat life, would be pointless.

If it was unconscious, Chen Mo wouldn’t have any chance to do anything anyway.

As for Luo Xianxue, Chen Mo was a little curious about what exactly she was studying.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Mo glanced at the time.

It was 9 a.m.

“System, simulate Luo Xianxue’s life.”

His consciousness gradually sank.

When Chen Mo opened his eyes, he found a computer screen in front of him.

Luo Xianxue’s voice sounded in his mind, as if she had been startled.

“Why is Phantom Sir here so early today?”

“As long as I want to, of course I can come anytime.” Chen Mo chuckled and looked at what was on the screen.

To his surprise, it was a list of things to pay attention to when drawing manga.

Seeing that, he couldn’t help but look stunned.

“You really are planning to draw manga?”

“Yep. Since Aunt Jiang hasn’t arranged much for me lately, I’ve actually gotten kind of bored. So I thought I’d try drawing manga. I’ve even prepared the first draft of the protagonist. Phantom Sir, do you want to see how it looks?”

Chen Mo glanced beside the computer and found a small stack of manuscript paper there, just as expected.

Luo Xianxue had only sketched the rough drafts in pencil.

He picked up one sheet.

On it was a long-haired girl. The lines were slender and soft. Just from the basic line art, Chen Mo could tell she was a delicate, fragile-looking girl.

There was also a string of notes beside her.

“Height 165 cm, blonde, rather soft personality, a little timid...”

Chen Mo read through it bit by bit, then suddenly saw something he couldn’t understand.

“Why does this part specifically emphasize that her chest is on the smaller side?”

“Uh...” Luo Xianxue’s voice grew a little quieter. “Girls with smaller chests are smarter and cuter, aren’t they?”

“Who told you that crooked logic?” Chen Mo’s face darkened. “People all have their own charms, sure, but IQ isn’t decided by something like that. Don’t listen to that person again. Anyone who says nonsense like that definitely has something wrong with their brain.”

“Ah?”

Luo Xianxue fell silent for a moment.

“Okay.”

Only then did Chen Mo nod in satisfaction.

This was the hard part about raising a daughter. The moment he wasn’t around, he had to worry someone might fill her head with weird nonsense.

After putting down that female lead character sheet, Chen Mo looked at another page.

It was actually a cat.

Was the cat an important character too?

Chen Mo couldn’t help asking, “Xianxue, do you like cats?”

He waited three seconds.

No answer came.

“Xianxue?”

“Ah?”

Chen Mo said, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

At his question, a trace of grievance immediately appeared in Luo Xianxue’s voice.

“Because Phantom Sir told me not to listen to you anymore.”

This time, Chen Mo was dumbfounded.

“When did I ever say that?”

“Just now.” Luo Xianxue repeated what he had just said, even mimicking his complaining tone. “‘Don’t listen to that person again. Anyone who says nonsense like that definitely has something wrong with their brain!’”

“Phantom Sir, that’s exactly what you said just now.”

Chen Mo scratched his head.

“So when did I ever say girls with smaller chests are smarter?”

“A couple days ago. Phantom Sir said I was all boobs and no brains, and that I was dumb. Doesn’t that mean girls with smaller chests are smarter?”

Luo Xianxue’s words left Chen Mo unable to refute her.

So the person with something wrong with their brain... was actually me?

Chen Mo scratched his head again and sighed helplessly.

“Alright, this time it’s my fault. As for manga, body type settings and all that are part of the characterization. No matter how you want to design it, that’s fine.”

“Then does Phantom Sir like girls with big chests or small ones?”

Chen Mo’s gaze shifted slightly downward.

“Big.”

“Mhm, mhm, I got it!”

There was a hint of happiness in her voice.

Chen Mo said, “Back to the earlier question. I saw you put a cat in your character settings. Do you really like cats that much?”

“I do like small animals,” Luo Xianxue said with a helpless sigh. “It’s just that Aunt Jiang never lets me keep any. Now that I have Phantom Sir’s help, I actually could keep one, but somehow I don’t really feel that strongly about it anymore.”

Come to think of it, Chen Mo still didn’t know whether the life the system simulated for Little Ash was connected to the world Luo Xianxue was currently in, or if it was a completely new world.

If the two were connected, then maybe after finishing the mission, he could send Little Ash to Luo Xianxue.

Right now, she was in a girl’s body, but Chen Mo still wanted to see what Luo Xianxue was usually like.

When he saw that cute girl in the mirror, he had this strange feeling that it was himself.

It felt oddly familiar.

Shaking off those unrealistic thoughts, Chen Mo continued looking through Luo Xianxue’s character settings.

Aside from the male lead, who only had a rough body shape drawn out, the rest of the character designs were basically ready.

The main cast was a male lead, a female lead, and a cat.

As for the supporting cast, Chen Mo only saw a maid and a butler. He had no idea what kind of story would happen.

“Phantom Sir,” Luo Xianxue’s voice sounded in his mind again.

“I’m here,” Chen Mo replied.

Luo Xianxue said, “For the male lead... can Phantom Sir design him for me?”
