Chapter 134
If she couldn’t get the Positive Review Badge from Lepei, her only other option would be to work on Eric.
She had already offended him previously; how could she possibly make Eric satisfied now?
Tu Nan frowned slightly.
“I know what you want,” Lepei said suddenly. “I can give you the stamp.”
Tu Nan looked up at her in surprise.
In her worldview, if you wanted to obtain something, you had to pay a corresponding price.
After only a second of hesitation, she asked, “What do you need me to do for you?”
“I don’t need anything,” Lepei said, looking at her. “Because the only thing I want, it seems you cannot give me.”
“Then why would you…” Tu Nan was puzzled.
“Consider it… my thanks for helping Little Red Riding Hood gain her freedom.” Lepei looked out the window, her tone indifferent. “Actually, during the time she stayed here, I quite liked her. She’s a very cute child.”
Little Red Riding Hood was indeed a well-behaved and sensible child; it was hard for anyone to dislike her.
“Besides, since I have already lost my freedom, it is a comfort to me if I can help someone else.”
Though Lepei’s voice was soft, it struck Tu Nan’s heart like a heavy hammer.
In her projections, such a scenario had never occurred.
Everything had a price, yet Lepei said she was willing to help her without asking for anything in return.
“Where is your form?” Lepei glanced at her. “Bring it here.”
Even after Lepei handed her the review form with the stamp on it, Tu Nan still hadn’t quite snapped out of it.
The final stamp had come so easily that it felt surreal, like a daze.
Tu Nan looked at the stamp bearing Lepei’s name on the form and then looked up at her.
“Do you really not need me to do anything for you?”
Lepei tilted her head, seemingly finding it a bit amusing. “Since you want to do something for me so badly, then how about this: if there ever comes a day when you have the power to take me away, help me leave this place.”
Tu Nan could tell her tone was casual, more like a joke than a request.
But she still nodded. She carefully tucked the form away against her person before looking at Lepei earnestly. “I will definitely come back to help you leave this place.”
Lepei was stunned for a moment. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she gazed at her with a softened expression.
“Then, thank you.”

Tu Nan handed the review form to the Head Nurse.
After meeting the conditions for becoming a full-time employee, one still needed to submit the review form to the Head Nurse. Once the Head Nurse confirmed it and signed and stamped her original entry form, she would become an official staff member of the Fairy Tale Hospital.
The Head Nurse took the form from her hand and gave her a somewhat surprised look.
“It has been a long time since anyone successfully transitioned to full-time status.” She opened a drawer and pulled out Tu Nan’s specific entry form from a stack. “Although I predicted you could succeed, you were even faster than I imagined.”
Tu Nan smiled slightly. “It’s because I encountered many people who helped me.”
“Once you become an official employee of the hospital, you can leave the hospital at any time.” The Head Nurse handed the signed and stamped entry form back to Tu Nan. “But remember, you must return to check in once a month, or your status will be revoked.”
Tu Nan nodded. “I’ll remember.”
“Also, keep your ID Badge safe.” The Head Nurse pointed to the ID Badge on her chest. “It serves as proof of your identity.”
She took the entry form and thanked the Head Nurse.
After staying at the Fairy Tale Hospital for quite a while, it was finally time to leave.
The moment the employment form touched her hand, the System’s long-absent voice rang in her mind.
[Congratulations, Player, on becoming an official employee of the Fairy Tale Hospital. You may choose to exit the Instance immediately or remain for a short duration.
Note: Players may log into the Fairy Tale Hospital Instance at any time within seven days after completing other Instances.]
Tu Nan raised an eyebrow and chose to exit immediately.
She had truly had enough of this Instance and didn’t want to stay for a single second longer.

Tu Nan took a bath, washing away her exhaustion, and then collapsed onto her bed without a shred of decorum.
Following her usual routine, she opened the forum to browse. During her absence, the forum remained the same as always, with no particularly noteworthy news. However, when she checked her private messages, she saw an unexpected notification.
[What to Plant Today: Lita, Lita!]
[What to Plant Today: Good daughter?]
…
Tu Nan recognized the person on the other side almost instantly.
Between the ID and the messages sent, it was undoubtedly Jenny.
She replied with a question mark.
As if the other party had been waiting specifically for her response, she replied immediately.
[What to Plant Today: You finally replied to my message! QAQ I’ve been waiting for you so miserably.]
Tu Nan was a bit puzzled.
[Drooling Fairy Tale Book: How did you find out my ID?]
[What to Plant Today: I asked Fu Zhixing for it.]
Tu Nan raised an eyebrow and replied: [Is there something you need?]
[What to Plant Today: Are you interested in entering an Instance with me? I’m very capable, I definitely won’t hold you back.]
Tu Nan found that she was actually quite popular; people were always inviting her to join Instances.
[Drooling Fairy Tale Book: But my next Instance is already set.]
It took a moment before another message arrived from the other side.
[What to Plant Today: Is it a non-teamable Instance?]
She hadn’t actually noticed that.
Tu Nan took out the invitation Maria had given her to confirm.
Her name was already on the invitation, and there seemed to be space for another name after it, indicating that this Instance allowed Players to invite others to form a team.
Her impression of Jenny was fairly good. The woman had a cheerful personality and could find humor even in the midst of suffering within an Instance. Most importantly, she wasn’t stupid and had the ability to protect herself.
She just didn’t understand why the other party had specifically asked Fu Zhixing for her contact information to invite her to team up.
[Drooling Fairy Tale Book: Why do you want to invite me as a teammate?]
[What to Plant Today: You have no idea how hard it is to find a reliable teammate in an Instance!!! I have to grab this opportunity firmly; I absolutely cannot miss out.]
[What to Plant Today: (Crying face emoji)]
Tu Nan thought about it for a moment.
Jenny could be considered a good partner, and they had gotten along well in the previous Instance. To help Maria become the new ruler, having one more person meant one more source of strength.
[Drooling Fairy Tale Book: Alright, I’ll add your name.]
[What to Plant Today: !!! Great.]
[What to Plant Today: Do you know what type of Instance this is?]
Tu Nan pondered.
[Drooling Fairy Tale Book: It should be considered… a usurpation?]
A question mark appeared from the other side.
[Drooling Fairy Tale Book: An ambitious woman plans to overthrow her father’s rule and take the throne herself. Our task is to help her succeed.]
[What to Plant Today: …]
[What to Plant Today: I’m already fired up.]
