Cannon Fodder Group Ch.491

Chapter 491: The Finale

[Lin Bai, this is real, it’s really not stolen.]

[I was planning to use half of my energy to exchange it with the headquarters. It’s not anyone’s, and in that era, this thing was already made public. Plus, it’s not from the time-space you’re currently in.]

Hearing the system say this, Lin Bai immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

“That’s good.”

However, does this mean that this time, he could actually sign in to obtain this item?

“Lin Bai, what did you just mean by that question to the system?” Xu Jinning couldn’t resist asking.

Lin Bai didn’t hide it. He directly explained what the system had told him earlier about going to Country A to sign in and get a comprehensive handbook for cancer cure.

Of course, he also mentioned that the system just said that this time, it wasn’t stolen.

“Miss Xu, I want to go to Country A to sign in. This will be the last sign-in, and I want to get that comprehensive handbook for cancer cure.”

“You already know how my mother passed away. I believe the author must have told you as well.”

“So, I have to get this thing.”

“Alright,” Xu Jinning agreed.

It was, after all, a comprehensive handbook for cancer cure. Whether in the world before his time travel or in this one, it was something that was needed.

And it was extremely important.

So, naturally, if this thing existed, they had to get it.

“Once you have it, what do you plan to do with it?”

Lin Bai smiled and said, “Actually, I’ve already decided. I plan to give this handbook to Mr. Song Yi.”

After a pause, Lin Bai continued, “Miss Xu, Mr. Xie, in fact, in the era before I traveled through time, both of you existed too, but by then, you were already elderly…”

Xu Jinning and Xie Ting’an exchanged a glance.

They couldn’t help but marvel at the wonders of time and space.

Is this a parallel universe? Or is the world Lin Bai lived in before he time-traveled simply the future of this one?

…

In the end, Lin Bai and Xu Jinning reached an agreement to cooperate and work together.

Meanwhile, Grandpa Xie soon learned from Xu Jinning that Lin Bai had been found.

As for why they couldn’t find him earlier, it was indeed due to the system’s concealment.

…

The next day, Lin Bai, accompanied by Xie Ting’an, flew to Country A, where he successfully signed in at a nearby hospital and obtained the Comprehensive Handbook for Cancer Cure.

After returning to his home country, Lin Bai gave the manual to Song Yi.

Shocked, Song Yi immediately began his research on cancer…

Of course, Lin Bai also withdrew from medical school, and the acceptance letter was returned to its rightful recipient through official channels.

Even though he withdrew, Lin Bai felt reluctant deep inside.

He had genuinely enjoyed his time at the university, and those campus days brought him a lot of happiness.

He was also glad to have met Li Wen and to have such a friend.

But now…

It all felt like an illusion, a fleeting dream, and everything was gone.

From now on, he wouldn’t use the system anymore or sign in.

Since he couldn’t continue his studies, staying in the capital seemed meaningless.

He might have to return to his hometown.

But Lin Bai felt lost.

He didn’t know what path to take in the future.

Just as Lin Bai was preparing to leave the capital, Xu Jinning and Xie Ting’an came to see him again.

“Is there something else I can help with?” Lin Bai asked.

Xu Jinning shook her head and said, “I heard you’re leaving the capital?”

“Yes,” Lin Bai replied. “It seems like there’s no point in staying here any longer.”

As for Li Wen…

He hadn’t even said goodbye to Li Wen; he felt he had no face to see him again, especially since he had previously lied to him.

“I think you don’t have to leave,” Xu Jinning said.

“Huh?” Lin Bai was a bit confused.

Xu Jinning then took out something and handed it to Lin Bai.

The item looked familiar; it was the acceptance letter from the medical university.

He took it and opened it casually, but when he saw his name written on the acceptance letter, he froze in shock.

“Miss Xu, this is…?”

“This is an official reward for you.”

“A reward?”

“Yes, you’ve cooperated so well and provided Song Yi with such valuable information. How could you think the officials wouldn’t reward you?”

“I thought this acceptance letter was what you needed most. It belongs solely to you, allowing you to continue studying at the medical university without any worries.”

“So, I can stay? I can continue pursuing my dream of becoming a doctor?” Lin Bai asked, hope sparking in his eyes.

“Yes.”

Tears immediately welled up in Lin Bai’s eyes, and his hand trembled slightly as he held the acceptance letter. “Thank you, thank you so much.”

“If you have any other requests, feel free to ask. We’ll do our best to help you as long as it’s within our capability.”

With red-rimmed eyes, Lin Bai paused for a moment, as if recalling something, and said, “I do have one request.”

“Go ahead.”

“That author—can you reach her?”

“Yes.” Xu Jinning was surprised that Lin Bai would ask this.

“I have only one request: I hope that author can write an epilogue, an epilogue for my mother, to give her a good ending.”

Xu Jinning didn’t expect Lin Bai to make such a simple request.

But it had to be said that his request touched Xu Jinning.

It made her realize that Lin Bai had deep feelings for his mother; it was just that…

“Lin Bai, although I previously said you were a character from a novel and that this world was also a book, the author no longer had the ability to make things come true.”

That ability to write something that could manifest into reality, perhaps even create another world.

“I understand; I just wanted to have such a thought. As for anything else, I have no other requests.”

“Alright, since this is your only request, we will fulfill it.”

“Thank you.”

…

Lin Bai re-enrolled in school, while Xu Jinning flew to Haishi again to ask Lin Wangshu for the epilogue about Lin Bai’s mother.

She then handed it over to Lin Bai.

The short epilogue of just five thousand words told the story of Lin Bai’s mother being reincarnated after her death. This time, she had loving parents, a family that cared for her, and a husband who genuinely loved her and walked through life by her side. They even had a pair of twins; the boy was named Lin Bai. In this life, Lin Bai’s mother lived a long and happy life.

As Lin Bai read the epilogue, he couldn’t help but cry.

“This is perfect; this is truly perfect.”

…

With the matters concerning Lin Bai and the sign-in system resolved, life seemed to calm down again.

After a ten-month wait, one fine day while in Qinghe Village, Xu Jinning went into labor and gave birth to a daughter.

It was said that on the day Xu Jinning’s daughter was born, all the fruit trees in Qinghe Village suddenly bore large fruits overnight. The village was filled with the fragrance of fruit, and the river, which was always fished every year, saw the fish grow rapidly overnight, all leaping out of the water…

The people of Qinghe Village all came out to witness the scene, believing it to be a miracle.

Yet, they found nothing strange about it, for in their hearts, they had long regarded Xu Jinning as a fairy who had descended to the mortal realm, so her daughter should be the same.

If such a miracle occurred at her birth, what was so surprising about it?

…

In this life, Xu Jinning and Xie Ting’an had a total of three children, with the latter two being twin sons.

Xie Ting’an’s internet company soared in the 1990s, eventually becoming one of the leading international internet giants.

Xu Jinning eventually became the head of the National Translation Department, and her inner-thoughts ability remained with her.

It was this ability that allowed Xu Jinning to form connections with new godparents almost every year.

By the time she retired, she had godparents all over the country, and wherever she went, she had connections.

Xu Jinning and Xie Ting’an’s eldest daughter was raised by Grandpa Xie.

The elderly man enjoyed a happy and fulfilling late life, living until the age of 96, when he peacefully passed away, closing his eyes for the final time.

On the Xu family side, Xu Xiangdong and Wen Yulan, who loved children, had six kids. Their fruit and delivery business also rode the wave of the times, rapidly developing.

Xu Xiangbei, during the 1990s, seized the opportunities in real estate and trade, directly becoming a real estate tycoon and a leader in the trading industry.

His relationship with Huang Minyue was also very happy and fulfilling.

Their first child took the surname Huang, and the couple later had another child.

In this lifetime, Xu Xiangbei fulfilled his youthful promise, loving only Huang Minyue throughout his life.

As for Xu Fanghua and Song Yi…

After graduating with her master’s degree, Xu Fanghua chose to stay at the university, while Song Yi led a team that devoted themselves to researching the comprehensive cancer cure handbook submitted by Lin Bai.

Nearly every year, they conquered a new type of cancer.

Song Yi and his team were destined to be recorded in history.

He and Xu Fanghua later had a pair of twins, a boy and a girl.

Meanwhile, Lin Bai, after re-enrolling, focused entirely on studying medicine. He eventually graduated with a doctorate, entered a hospital, and became a renowned doctor. He got married and had children, living a happy life and fulfilling the promise he once made to his mother.

In the blink of an eye, several decades passed.

Now elderly and retired, Xu Jinning and Xie Ting’an sat on the lounge chairs in the garden of their villa, chatting.

Over the years, the country had developed remarkably well. By the 2020s, it had transformed into a superpower.

Now, it had become one of the strongest nations in the world.

Xu Jinning held Xie Ting’an’s hand beside her; though it was no longer as smooth as it had been in their youth, having become somewhat dry and thin, she still liked to hold it.

This hand, from their youth, had been held for a lifetime.

“Old man, do you think my coming to this world counts as contributing something to the country and its people?”

Xie Ting’an grasped Xu Jinning’s hand and replied, “Of course. Over the years, you’ve done remarkably well. Didn’t Grandpa say before he passed away?”

“He said, ‘Girl Ning, the development and progress of this country and its people have a part of your contribution.’”

Xu Jinning smiled. “So my coming to this world was meaningful after all.”

“Absolutely. Even aside from the country and its people, just the Xu family alone is different from the one in the novel, isn’t it?”

“Even if no one else says anything, but…” Xie Ting’an paused, turning to look at Xu Jinning, his eyes reflecting decades of tenderness. “Your existence is meaningful to me; you are my reason for being in this world.”

Xu Jinning gazed at Xie Ting’an, who had transformed over the years from a handsome young man into an elderly gentleman. Though he had aged, he still exuded an elegant charm, remaining the most handsome among the many old men.

“Brother Ting’an, have I ever told you how much I love you?”

“If I haven’t, then I want to say now that I love you very, very much.”

“If there is a next life, I hope we can meet again, and I still want to be your wife.”

Hearing this, Xie Ting’an felt that his life had reached a perfect fulfillment.

He took his wife’s hand and slowly said, “Me too, Ningning. I love you.”

Their hands tightly held together, they gazed at the sky before them, where the sunset painted the horizon with fiery clouds, adorning the sky in vibrant colors…
