Chapter 38: The Great Continent of Tian Chao, Mulan Woods

  "Open a clinic?" Wu Rui was taken aback when he heard the broker say that he wanted to open a clinic. This idea had never occurred to him before, after all, with just a few thousand yuan on him, he couldn't even afford to rent a house, let alone open a clinic.

  But now that I have the money, opening a clinic in E City doesn't seem like a bad idea either. However, with a fixed business, won't I lose a lot of freedom in the future? Wu Rui can't just stay put at the clinic and not go anywhere else.

  However, for now, opening a clinic and gaining some experience seems not bad either. At most, you can add some restrictions, such as opening hours on certain days of the week, resting two days a week, etc., so that you have more free time.

  Having thought this through, Wu Rui then said to Xu Niang who was staring at him with wide eyes: "Opening a clinic is fine, finding an address and handling the decoration of the clinic will be up to you to plan, but in the future, I'll have the final say on the rules of the clinic!"

  "Haha, you're a divine doctor! Of course, it's up to you. Let's just say that and not take it back!" Xujie smiled with her eyes shining brightly, restarted the car and headed back in the direction they came from.

  It was already past 7 pm and Wu Rui declined Xu Manli's dinner invitation, asking her to take him directly back to his rental apartment community.

  Xu Niang is not Yang Xiang, nor as subtle as Yang Xiang. Seeing the dilapidated and foul-smelling community in front of her, she couldn't help but mock: "Young Master Lang, how can you live in such a place? With unparalleled medical skills, yet ending up so down-and-out, isn't it a bit too humiliating? This is clearly the outcome of your haughtiness."

  Wu Rui directly ignored Xu Niang's sarcasm, twitched the corner of his mouth and pushed the door to get out: "I'm leaving, I'll trouble you to take care of the clinic."

  "Hey, hey, wait a minute! You're not going to pay with a check anymore!" Xu Manli shouted loudly, waving the check in her hand.

  "You take it first! It's still needed for decorating the clinic!" After leaving a sentence, Wu Rui went upstairs without looking back.

  "...This person is really strange, he's willing to let me take care of a huge sum of money, does he really have no desire for wealth at all? Or does he trust me?" As Wu Rui walked away, Xu Manli's eyes were filled with confusion. She didn't look down on poor people, but she absolutely couldn't bear the thought of becoming poor herself, and even more so, she couldn't be as indifferent to fame and wealth like Wu Rui.

  The 100 million checks in her hands gave her a great shock.

  Actually, Wu Rui is not as saintly as she imagined, it's just that the two of them are in different environments and have different attitudes towards money. If it were a billion spiritual stones or some kind of spiritual medicine instead of a billion yuan, Wu Rui probably wouldn't be able to remain so calm either.

  At this time, Wu Rui had returned to his rental house, but he felt that he had left something behind. Frowning and thinking for a moment, he suddenly remembered that Peng Long hadn't come to remove the "bomb" from his body, and his brow furrowed even more tightly.

  Xu Xianger had already taken care of the things she let him do, and by rights, the other party should have come to find her as soon as possible to lift the threat on their body. But why hadn't they seen any sign of them until now? However, with only one day left before the outbreak, Wu Rui didn't think much about it and entered the dimensional clinic.

  Level: Elementary

  Host: Wu Rui

  Points: 7

  Cultivation: The third layer of "Shennong Jing", initial title for a medical practitioner.

  Basic configuration: a primary clinic room, one desk, two chairs.

  Upgrade conditions: The system automatically searches for primary injury patients, one point is awarded for curing one person, and one point is deducted for failure. There is no time limit on the number of people, and upgrading is possible when 10 points are accumulated.

  This morning, Zizi was treated and a total of 6 points were obtained. Adding the one point from treating Aniu last time, the current score is now at 7 points, only three points away from leveling up. As long as three more patients are treated, it will be enough to level up. Wu Rui is looking forward to the changes in the clinic after leveling up, so he decided to try his best to treat three patients tonight and upgrade the clinic all at once.

  "Search for the patient!" Wu Rui gave orders to the clinic.

  "Muli, a young orphan from the poor district of Meixian, Tianchao Continent. The Tianchao Continent is in the midst of a low-level dynastic civilization, with the imperial government ruling supreme and unshakeable. However, the people are severely divided between rich and poor, either extremely wealthy or destitute. Muli has been bedridden for two days due to illness and has yet to receive any treatment."

  Wu Rui's heart skipped a beat as she immediately clicked on the "Treat Immediately" option.

  A flash of white light, a young man in ancient robes suddenly appeared in the clinic, but he was not standing or sitting on a chair, but lying on the floor, gasping for breath, and did not even notice that he had come to a new environment.

  Wu Rui hastily went forward to check and found that the patient's body was hot, lips were white, eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and he was in a coma.

  Put your hand on his forehead for a try, it's scorching hot. If this continues, although not to the point of being roasted, he will soon die!

  "Is it just a simple fever? Why not go for treatment?" Wu Rui was taken aback, furrowed his brow and without thinking much, took out the silver needle and inserted it into various acupoints on his body, releasing the heat from inside, and through simple acupuncture, eliminated the root of the fever.

  It was just an ordinary fever, and for Wu Rui, it was a piece of cake to treat, not requiring any extra effort at all.

  "Huh...? Where is this?" The disheveled young man on the ground slowly came to, only to find himself in a new environment, and for a moment, he became even more confused.

  "This is my clinic." Wu Rui shook his head in response to Mu Li's words after returning to his own position.

  "A clinic?" As soon as Mu Li heard this, he immediately became nervous and jumped up from the ground, kneeling down to Wu Rui and begging for mercy: "Doctor, spare my life! I don't have any money on me, I'm unable to pay the medical fees. I can be a cow or a horse for you, sir, and repay your kindness of saving my life!"

  It was said to be a repayment of kindness, but Wu Rui clearly felt that Muli was not truly grateful, but rather fearful, truly fearful.

  Wu Rui felt confused at this moment, but still stepped forward and helped Mu Li up, saying: "No need to kneel, just say what you have to say!"

  “……Yes, sir!” Mu Li responded with a series of "yeses", but felt bewildered and puzzled in his heart. In his eyes, the doctor was more overbearing and despicable than the landlord, Zhou Bapi. He had never heard anyone say that Mei County had a hot-tempered and kind doctor!

  "You seem to be very afraid of doctors, I don't know why?" Wu Rui asked curiously.

  "The heavenly dynasty's laws and regulations state that the status of a Dafu is equal to that of civil and military officials, we lowly commoners should show respect!" Mu Li replied without hesitation.

  Wu Rui furrowed his brow upon hearing this, thinking to himself that it was no wonder Mu Li saw him as so fearful. But afterwards, he secretly seethed with anger - the heavenly dynasty's law was simply unreasonable; while it was right to respect the great masters, but to intimidate doctors into becoming like landlords who exploit commoners was going too far.

  However, this is a matter of other dimensions, and Wu Rui cannot intervene. He originally wanted to send Mu Li back directly, but was informed by the instructor that without paying the diagnosis fee or signing an agreement, it was impossible to send the patient back to his original dimension. At this point, he had no choice but to say to Mu Li: "Mu Li, leave a copper plate and I'll take you back!"

  "……Ah! Only one copper coin?" Mù Lǐ exclaimed in surprise. At the Méi Xiàn Clinic, even a simple cold would cost ten copper coins to treat, and this time he was so severely ill that it would take at least several dozen copper coins to cure him. He couldn't believe that this strange doctor only wanted one.

  But then Mu Li lowered his head in shame and said: "Doctor, I don't even have a single copper coin now..."

  "...Wu Rui fainted, originally he would only symbolically take one copper plate, just to go through the verification of the clinic, but unexpectedly Mu Li was so poor that it was really heartbreaking."

  Originally, Wu Rui could have given him free treatment, but the clinic's mandatory requirements were unchangeable, so he reluctantly said: "Not taking money is also possible, but you must leave something behind, just a symbol will do!"

  Muli felt bewildered, but Wu Rui said he didn't need to pay, so he naturally got excited and started searching his body. Finally, he pulled out a small, unremarkable red bead and handed it over with an awkward expression: "Doctor, this is all I have on me. It's something I found while exploring the foot of a volcano. It's not worth much, but it looks pretty good. I hope you'll accept it."

  The voice in the wood was somewhat weak and anxious.

  "Alright, I'll send you back!" Wu Rui casually took the pearl and found that he could pay the medical expenses directly at the clinic without signing any agreement. He immediately sent Mu Li back.

  Mori was bewildered, wondering how to leave the clinic without a door. As Wu Rui's voice fell, he found himself back in his humble home in an instant, feeling perplexed and confused. In the Tianchao Continent, there were no legends or beliefs about immortals or gods, and the Emperor of Tianchao was the supreme existence. Therefore, Mori did not know how to explain what had just happened, and ultimately treated it as a dream, an unforgettable dream.

  He is not stupid or brainless, but because he can only think this way. If the rumors were to reach the imperial court, it would be a serious crime and his head would roll.

  "Alas, the vast universe is full of class divisions. Where there's wealth, there must be poverty!" Wu Rui shook his head in dismay and looked down at the red bead in his hand, but couldn't help exclaiming in surprise: "Huh? This bead is a bit strange!"
