Time flies and the years pass by like a shuttle.
This is the sentence Wang Yan used most often in his essays.
The older you get, the more you can understand what it means to be fleeting and what it means to be like a shuttle.
More than three years have passed since the highly publicized Grenin incident. Today is January 28, 2006, Chinese New Year's Eve.
On this once-a-year auspicious day, accompanied by the warm congratulations of firecrackers, the long-lost system finally prompted that the task was completed, and I had 24 hours to leave the current world, just in time to celebrate the New Year.
He had a stem cell transplant a year ago, and after a year of recuperation, he's recovered very well. Plus, he's not short of money these days, so he doesn't have to worry about any illnesses, as they're guaranteed treatment. Furthermore, Wang Jia and Lv Shouyi's son is now four and a half years old—the same age as Wang Yan. He's grown up to be a chubby and lively kid. Now Wang Jia has nothing to worry about. Her wish has been fulfilled.
Liu Tiantian, who also suffered from the disease, also underwent surgery. The almost ten-year-old girl is jumping around all day long, not at all like when she was a child.
Wang Yan was extremely excited. In a blink of an eye, he had been in this world for more than four years. At that time, he thought of taking one step at a time, but he never expected that it would take more than three years.
Wang Yan missed his parents at home and his group of real and fake friends very much.
Over the past three years, Wang Yan finally experienced the joy of having enough money, a life he hadn't known in the past thirty years. The life he'd lived in those past few years was far from comparable to what can be captured in short videos, after all, a video of just a few seconds contains limited content. Furthermore, the wealthy were either aging or spending their days figuring out how to make more money, hide their wealth, or transfer assets. They had no time for such nonsense.
He has seen only the tip of the iceberg. Poverty really limits imagination, and that's all he needs to be comfortable.
Wang Yan has not been corrupted and has never relaxed over the years. Apart from enjoying himself occasionally, Wang Yan spends most of his time exercising and studying, making some decisions, and going out to negotiate business. He is busy and fulfilled.
Wang Yan's business has grown rapidly in recent years. The logistics company managed by Lü Shouyi has expanded to major cities across the country, employing tens of thousands of people. It's competing fiercely with Shunfeng in China and possesses a strong presence. The garment factory managed by Liu Sihui has also grown rapidly, now encompassing a complete industrial structure from raw materials to processing, garment manufacturing, and ultimately sales. They've also established their own brand, which is seeing strong sales.
Then there's the tech company Wang Yan founded, which is aggressively recruiting talent in an attempt to be the first to develop a smartphone. It's also set up labs for chip research, new materials research, and other fields. It's partnered with major universities and recruited highly paid international talent, and has produced some impressive results in the past two years. High-tech is useless without a foundation; high-end talent is always tightly controlled, and Wang Yan has only managed to secure a few, albeit a handful.
Wang Yan also made great gains in the stock market. Relying on the information he memorized, he secretly made a lot of money in the U.S. stock market.
Of course, he did not forget his fellow countrymen who were suffering. In 2003, Wang Yan donated 5 million yuan, and he donated more in the following years. As for the various dirty things in it, Wang Yan did not want to care about it, and he was not so stupid as to care about it. In the end, it would be put into practice.
After years of unremitting efforts, Wang Yan's wealth had swelled to several hundred million dollars, including a considerable amount of real estate and stocks in companies expected to surge in value. All of this was in the possession of Wang Jia and Liu Sihui. He couldn't take these things with him, so Wang Yan never attached himself to them.
Cheng Yong and Peng Hao are also in contact.
They both got married two years ago: Peng Hao's first marriage, Cheng Yong's second. Peng Hao's child, a son, was born this year, and Wang Yan even gave a gift when the baby was a hundred days old. They both now run small businesses and live happily.
They were truly grateful to Wang Yan. One of them didn't have to die; his illness was cured, and he got married and had children. The other one now had enough money and didn't have to sing "Tears Behind Bars." Wang Yan truly changed their lives.
Wang Yan was quite satisfied with all of this. It was mainly due to his limited ability, otherwise he believed he could do better. Ultimately, his level was too low.
Stop having wild thoughts, continue celebrating the New Year, and continue to be happy.
In recent years, Wang Jialu and his wife, Liu Sihui and Liu Tiantian, mother and daughter, have celebrated the New Year together, and this year is no exception.
Wang Yan and the others were talking and laughing. The children ate little, so Liu Tiantian took little Lu Ping to play on the side.
"Life is getting better and better now. This is life." Lu Shouyi sighed and raised a glass.
"Come on, big brother, I'll toast you a glass, and I won't say thank you."
Over the years, the logistics company Lu Shouyi managed had grown immensely, and he had become increasingly confident, his every move imbued with a certain air of authority. He was no longer the hunched, hopeless figure he once was. But as his business grew, he had less and less time to spend with his wife and children. Perhaps this was the trouble with success.
Wang Yan smiled and clinked his glass with his before downing the wine: "You keep thanking me every damn year, and it never ends. Do I count on you?"
"I'm looking after my sister. If you have that much time, it would be better for you to spend more time with your wife and children. There's no point in doing that."
As they spent more time together, Wang Yan truly began to treat Wang Jia like a sister, without any of the awkwardness they'd felt when they first met. He truly admired this girl. Wang Yan, an only child in real life, had always envied his friends for having older siblings, younger brothers, and sisters. Even though he didn't have an older sister to care for him, he still had a younger sister to love him. This was his dream come true.
Wang Jia just smiled and poured wine for the two of them without saying a word.
She didn't have much to ask for now. As her life got better and better over the years, she became more and more like a lady. This was not surprising, as Lu Shouyi's circle of friends was there.
Being loved by my brother, cared for by my husband, and loved by my children, what could be happier than this?
Seeing how affectionate they were, Wang Yan couldn't help but grab the hand of Liu Sihui next to him. Feeling Wang Yan's movements, Liu Sihui put her arm around Wang Yan and leaned on him.
Wang Yan smiled slightly, patted Liu Sihui, and everyone continued to eat and drink.
The New Year’s bell rang, and Wang Yan sent Wang Jia and his wife away.
Liu Sihui settled Liu Tiantian, who had fallen asleep long ago, and walked out to meet Wang Yan's eyes.
Wang Yan picked up Liu Sihui without saying a word and walked into the bedroom.
The physical fitness improved through exercise, when reflected in the system, will evenly improve all aspects of Wang Yan's body, including internal organs, bones and muscles, endurance, etc. Therefore, after more than four years of training, Wang Yan is no longer a Wuxia Amon.
I'm about to leave this world, and there's probably no chance of me coming back.
The two had been together for many years, and Liu Sihui knew Wang Yan very well. She could tell that Wang Yan had something on his mind, but she didn't ask. This was what Wang Yan thought was Liu Sihui's most charming point.
Wang Yan looked at the sleeping Liu Sihui beside him. She was so addictive, and in every aspect of her life.
The movie did not explain Liu Sihui's ending, and Wang Yan thought it would not be a good one.
Although the show finally states that Gleevec will be covered by medical insurance, this is a long process. Even the changes introduced by Wang Yan were much faster than in the original show, and the implementation took some time. During this time, countless people were still waiting to die. So, one can imagine what happened to Liu Sihui in the original show.
Wang Yan’s purpose was not simple at first. As they spent more and more time together, Liu Sihui became more and more important in his heart.
Wang Yan thought about every detail of the past four years, his heart filled with nostalgia, even though he knew it was just one stop on his life journey.
"I have to leave eventually." He sighed.
Wang Yan gently kissed Liu Sihui who was sleeping soundly. Liu Sihui seemed to sense something and frowned.
After a last lingering glance at Liu Sihui, Wang Yan called up the system panel and chose to leave.
A blue light flashed, and Wang Yan disappeared.
、、、
With a flash of blue light, Wang Yan reappeared in bed at home.
He could feel the system repairing his body, and some injuries left by years of training were completely repaired by the system.
The repair process lasted for a while, followed by a dizziness as countless memories intertwined in my mind.
After a while, Wang Yan recovered and sat up, rubbing his head.
"It's only been more than four years and it's already like this. What will it be like in the future when time is longer and we have more experiences?" Wang Yan hesitated.
He shook his head vigorously, got out of bed and poured himself a glass of water. Wang Yan then looked at the time.
Five o'clock five.
"Adding the time it takes me to adjust and pour the water, that means no matter how long it takes in the film and television world, it only takes a moment in reality?"
This is a good thing. Not thinking about those weird things like the soul will lengthen the length and breadth of Wang Yan's life, which will benefit Wang Yan endlessly.
"I'm afraid that all the experiences I've had will impact my memory of these short 30 years. Now the home where I grew up seems a bit strange to me."
Thinking of this, Wang Yan strengthened his resolve to cultivate his spirit. High spirits could strengthen his memory, even allowing him to remember everything he saw. It could also broaden his memory capacity. However, remembering too much wasn't good either. The more Wang Yan experienced, the more painful it became.
"I must improve my ideological level when I have the chance in the future, otherwise I will easily become mentally ill." Wang Yan made a secret decision.
Open the system panel,
Wang Yan

Agility 12
Constitution 13
Spirit 13
Unassigned points 4
Storage space 1m
Skills: English Level 3
Fighting Level 2
Management Level 2
Sales Level 2
Japanese Level 1
... Omit a bunch of level zero skills.
After several years of study and training in "Dying to Survive", Wang Yan has gained a lot.
After consistent exercise, Wang Yan is no longer in sub-health. His physique, strength, and agility have all improved, reaching the levels expected of a regular exerciser. His weight has reached 160 kg, but his appearance hasn't changed much; stripping off his clothes reveals a muscular build. Perhaps thanks to his training system, Wang Yan's muscles aren't as bulky as those of a bodybuilder, but rather resemble those of a street gym athlete. While certainly more attractive, they offer a bit of a cross between the two.
The improvement in skills is even greater.
Firstly, his English skills had reached the professional level 3. Although he was a beginner, he could still do some translation work for others. Secondly, through continuous learning in fighting over the past few years, he had reached proficiency at level 2. Wang Yan had devoted the most energy to fighting. In the past few years, he had hired many professional fighting masters and nutritionists from home and abroad. This was also the reason for Wang Yan's improvement in physical fitness and English skills.
Wang Yan also studied a wide variety of martial arts, including Sanda, Chinese martial arts, boxing, mixed martial arts, judo, Muay Thai, and a few others. If he had specialized in one discipline, he would have reached a professional level in that discipline over the years. He bit off more than he could chew, which is why he's at level 2. However, Wang Yan had plenty of time to study, eventually developing his own unique approach.
What Wang Yan lacked now was actual combat experience. Isn't combat all about how to knock someone down with the least effort, the least effort, and the most efficiency? Wang Yan still had a long way to go, but he believed that he would have many opportunities for actual combat in the future, even to kill someone.
Of course, it's possible to get lost in it and end up being a complete mess. But that's who knows how long in the future. As a person, you have to set a goal and then see if you can succeed. At least the goal is good, and if you don't succeed, you can still become a master.
There are too many other things like management, finance, etc. Wang Yan has learned a lot of miscellaneous things.
It's worth mentioning that Wang Yan's sales skills, his livelihood skills, have reached Level 2. Wang Yan speculates that this may be because he has never been involved in sales of large quantities before.
In the world of Medicine God, Wang Yan's contacts were relatively high-level, and he'd negotiated numerous deals. After all, to make money in any business, sales were essential. The amounts ranged from tens of millions to hundreds of millions. Considering housing prices in Lüda, a house costing several million yuan was a significant difference in rank, and thus the system didn't recognize Wang Yan's sales abilities.
All these years of experience have greatly improved his ability to judge people and understand their hearts. I believe that life in the real world will get better and better in the future.
Overall, Wang Yan's progress is visible to the naked eye, and he's incredibly satisfied with it. Is there anything more gratifying than seeing your own daily progress? It's an indescribable sense of personal accomplishment.
Wang Jia's wish was completed, and she was rewarded with 4 free attributes, but nothing else. Wang Yan had no complaints. He had learned so much, so what was there to be dissatisfied with? The most important thing was to be content.
Wang Yan was not in a hurry to add points. He waited for the next wishing task to appear and see how it went.
The impact of the memory just now made Wang Yan very tired, and he fell asleep as soon as he lay on the bed.
