The Buggiest System

9 - Doctor

"H-honey! He has a fever!"

Zhou Jiahao had touched his son's forehead, and felt like he was almost burnt! It was that hot!

Seeing her brother like that, Zhou Zhenya ran to get the thermometer, while their mother, Zhou Xiang, stood still.

.....

In Zhou Lei's bedroom, everyone was there.

Zhou Lei was lying on his bed, while Zhou Zhenya was sitting beside him. The two parents, Zhou Jiahao and Zhou Xiang, sat down on the floor. There was a wet towel on Zhou Lei's forehead.

"Fo-forty five degrees..."

'Is this even possible?!'

Everyone was stunned as they remembered the temperature the thermometer showed. They had seen 40 degree fevers, and this was said to be very high, but 45?! Will Zhou Lei even survive this?

Zhou Lei opened his eyes. He let out a sigh of relief, but no one noticed it. The lottery system had actually given him an item that was useless.

Name: Bubblegum

Description: You can chew it

It was the lottery system that drained System. The chip had overheated, making it seem like Zhou Lei had a fever. In truth, he was not affected at all. For the time being, however, he could not use the system.

He saw his sister Zhou Zhenya sitting on the bed, with her entrancing worried look.

'Oh crap, I'm not a siscon, or a lolicon!'

His junior was standing up. His willpower was too weak to resist it. Fortunately, the lower half of his body was covered with a blanket, so no one noticed the rising.

As he observed further, Zhou Lei imagined if his appearance was the one that was upgraded. By the time he snapped out of his trance, he noticed everyone was looking at him.

"Oh, hi."

'?!'

Everyone was surprised. They didn't expect him to open his eyes, much less talk, since his fever was dangerously high. They had now discovered that they had underestimated him.

Knock, knock.

There was a person knocking on the front door. Zhou Jiahao brought him inside. It was a doctor.

The doctor looked at his supposed patient, the fat one that lied on the bed. His face was red, his skin was riddled with sweat.

"Hmm, is it a fever?"

Zhou Jiahao nodded in response to the doctor's inquiry.

'It's just a fever, and they bother me with it...'

He directed his attention to the beautiful little girl sitting on the bed beside his patient.

'At least there's eye candy here...'

The doctor walked further in carrying his supplies in a case. He brought out a thermometer and put it in the patient's armpit. After a while, he retrieved it.

The doctor's eyes widened in surprise as he read the temperature on the thermometer. It displayed 47 degrees.

"He-he's a lost case..."

There was no way that a human would survive a 47 degree fever! This was unheard of!
