Chapter 89: Clinic on Fire

  In the spiritual garden of the clinic, Wu Rui stared blankly at the sapling in front of him, which was already taller than him, his mouth still agape. In less than five minutes, a seed had grown into a sapling over two meters tall, and it was still growing rapidly, a speed that was nothing short of frightening.

  "Is it the seed's problem or the spiritual garden?" Wu Rui's mind moved, and he took out another devil tree seed from the Minah ring and planted it on the other side. As a result, he found that the growth speed was equally fast, but in the blink of an eye, it grew very high, with a shocking growth trend.

  But these seeds all come from the Tree People's side, so it can't be determined whether it's the effect of the Spirit Garden or the reason for the seeds. Therefore, Wu Rui took out a strain of medicinal herbs from Mina's ring, which was picked on the planet of Osen. Since it was stored in Mina's ring, it did not wither and die. Moreover, being a vine plant, it can be planted by simply inserting it into the soil, meeting the experimental requirements.

  As a result, the medicinal vine had just been planted, and the vines immediately became spirited and grew faster than the Devil Tree and the Mysterious Seed. However, in the blink of an eye, a large number of tender buds grew out, and they all grew rapidly, quickly covering the ground. Wu Rui was so anxious that he hurriedly pulled it up by the roots.

  At this speed, I believe it won't take a day to fill the entire 1,000 square meter spiritual garden. Wu Rui didn't want these low-value crops to occupy the land of the spiritual garden. One thousand square meters sounds like a lot, but in fact, it's just over an acre of land.

  "One day is equivalent to a hundred years!" Wu Rui's eyes were ablaze with excitement. Based on the speed at which the medicinal vines had grown just now, Wu Rui roughly calculated that the crops in the Spiritual Garden grew at a rate of three to four million times faster than before, truly making one day equivalent to a hundred years, and increasing the growth rate by more than ten thousand times compared to the original two-fold increase.

  This result left Wu Rui speechless.

  Adding the mysterious soil to the spiritual garden caused a strange change, making Wu Rui so excited that he couldn't find his way north. He didn't even bother to do other things and instead became a farmer, planting all the ginseng, zhu fruit, and tongling grass from the Osen star into the spiritual garden. Even the thousand-year-old lingzhi mushroom, which he had carefully nurtured, was transplanted to an independent location at this time.

  Working hard until dawn, looking at the spiritual garden in front of him that was already full of life, Wu Rui couldn't close his mouth for the entire night.

  The first magical seed that was planted has now grown into a towering tree, with a trunk that one person cannot wrap their arms around and a height of twenty to thirty meters. The leaves are a deep green color. Although it is still unknown what this strange tree is used for or what its purpose is, Wu Rui feels that it is worth it just from the rich spiritual energy it emits.

  Moreover, this strange tree's branches contain a large amount of wood-element spiritual energy. Whether used for cultivation or as a weapon, it is an extremely valuable material.

  On the other side, the Devil Tree was also growing very terrifyingly. The trunk wasn't big, but the vines that grew out of it were terrifying - they could actually move around like animals and absorb nutrients from other plants, destroying several ginseng roots in the process. Wu Rui was so angry that he almost pulled it up by the roots at the time.

  It seems that this devil tree is not just a scary name, but indeed lives up to its name - devil.

  Fortunately, the Shennong Scripture has a method to tame plants. Wu Rui barely managed to tame the Devil Tree. It didn't have spiritual intelligence and couldn't listen to commands, but stopping it from harming other crops in the Spiritual Garden wasn't difficult.

  "Should I use the mysterious soil to expand the spiritual garden a bit?" Wu Rui couldn't help but think, but in the end he shook his head and rejected the idea. Although he still didn't know what this soil was, it was definitely not simple, and keeping it for future use wasn't necessarily a good idea either. Moreover, he didn't have that many crops to plant right now, so expanding the spiritual garden would be pointless.

  There's another thing, although he is now the owner of a face diagnosis clinic, he can't truly control it. There are too many uncertain factors here, Wu Rui doesn't want to waste such a magical treasure.

  At the same time, thinking of the mysterious mud the size of a basketball on the planet Osen, Wu Rui's eyes were ablaze with excitement, and he secretly decided that once he had accumulated 100 points, he would find an opportunity to return to the planet Osen. If he missed such treasures, Wu Rui would vomit blood even if his mood was good.

  ……

  After witnessing Wu Rui's strength, Liu Cheng didn't dare to disobey and honestly carried out Wu Rui's requests. He even had someone deliver a check for 200 million yuan to the clinic early on, hoping to appease Wu Rui's anger and also started to rectify the name of Shen Nong Clinic.

  At 9:00 am, E City held a press conference to announce the investigation results of the Shen Nong Clinic incident. The Director of the Public Security Bureau, Wei Yuan, the Director of the Administration for Industry and Commerce, Li Hong, and the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Du Zhe, were found to have abused their power and framed Shen Nong Clinic for personal gain. They were all expelled from the party and removed from their current positions.

  In addition, the official of E City sincerely apologized to Shen Nong Clinic and announced that all procedures of Shen Nong Clinic were legal. Finally, they also praised Wu Rui's medical skills, saying that he was a true divine doctor with a noble character and selfless dedication to saving lives. They also highly praised Wu Rui's 10-yuan charging system.

  Such a press conference, full of loopholes and deliberately concealed facts, would normally raise suspicions. It has to be said that the Liu and Wang families' power is not weak, with strong authority and financial resources, the journalists and major news media who attended the press conference were all bought off, colluding in ignoring the main issue, instead wildly promoting Wu Rui's superb medical skills and lofty sentiments, successfully diverting the audience's attention.

  With such a big fanfare by the Goose City government, Shennong Clinic has truly entered the public eye. Although there are still many doubts, more people have chosen to believe in it after all, no hole is not coming wind. Anyway, a large number of patients who were tortured by illness came inexplicably.

  The Shen Nong Clinic is booming, although this way makes Wu Rui cry and laugh, it's also inexplicable, but seeing the endless stream of patients coming to the door, even queuing for a long time, still makes him feel very pleased, so he puts away the anger in his heart and focuses on diagnosing the patients.

  Wu Rui's medical skills were quite high, but he had little practice. Although the cases he encountered were mostly minor illnesses and trivial symptoms, various types of conditions still enriched his medical knowledge. This kind of life was dull, but he felt very solid.

  In the blink of an eye, two days have passed, and everything is calm. During the day, Wu Rui was busy treating patients, and at night, he would treat patients in the clinic, often strolling around the spiritual garden or practicing in the practice room, with everything going smoothly.

  However, as Wu Rui's reputation grew bigger and bigger, the number of patients coming in also increased. Even though Wu Rui saw patients at an extremely fast speed, there were still large numbers of patients queuing up every day, often exceeding the capacity of the Shennong Clinic. Sometimes, it wasn't until 8 or 9 pm that all the patients had been seen, far exceeding the expected end time. It was fine for Wu Rui as a cultivator, but the three nurses were pitied, running back and forth every day until they were exhausted and their legs turned soft.

  At 9 pm, after finally sending away the last patient, several staff members of Shen Nong Clinic were sitting together eating midnight snacks cooked by Mei Yi. Bai Qing finally made a suggestion: "Dr. Wu, this can't go on like this. We need to improve our registration system, otherwise not only will our clinic be overwhelmed, but also patients who have been waiting in line for several hours will be exhausted."

  "Yes, people are exhausted, now they can't even eat midnight snacks." Chunzhu also protested in a low voice, with an appearance as if she had been exploited by the evil capitalist, don't mention how pitiful it was.

  Although Bing Xuan is more capable of enduring hardship, her face also has a bitter expression at this time. However, she won't complain about anything. Although it's hard work, being able to work for Wu Rui and Shen Nong Clinic makes her willing to do so. Besides, now that she can earn 10,000 yuan per month in salary, it's worth the exhaustion.

  "What's the registration system?" Wu Rui also knew that this couldn't go on, but at this time he didn't have a better idea either. Hearing Bai Qing's suggestion, he asked: "Bai Qing, you tell me."

  "First, we should buy a registration machine, like the one used in banks, which can also accept phone registrations. Every day, it can only receive a fixed number of people, and those who cannot be received will be postponed to the next day or the day after tomorrow. In this way, patients do not need to wait in line, and it can also alleviate the reception capacity of the clinic." Bai Qing simply explained her own views.

  But then she hastily added: "Of course, if we encounter seriously ill patients, we can choose to prioritize and see them first."

  "Oh? Good idea, I'll think of a way to deal with the registration machine problem." Wu Rui agreed with Bai Qing's suggestion and thought for a moment before deciding to say: "From now on, we will see one hundred patients every day, fifty in the morning and fifty in the afternoon. This way, you can all go home on time, and besides, we'll have two days off each week."

  "It's good, but there are so many holidays, it's not suitable like this!" Chunzhu raised an objection. Seeing Wu Rui looking over, she explained: "According to your calculation, our daily income is 1,000 yuan, and we open for business 22 days a month, which is only around 200,000-300,000 yuan in total, not even enough to cover salaries. Moreover, without Miss Xu bringing in VIP clients, Dr. Wu, you wouldn't want to do a losing business, would you? Or are you planning to cut our salaries?"

  In the end, Chun Zhu looked at Wu Rui with a vigilant expression, like a money slave, and couldn't help but feel adorable.

  "Hmm..." Wu Rui was slightly stunned, he hadn't considered this issue before. Now that Chunzhu mentioned it, he also felt it wasn't right. He didn't want to exploit the people's money, but that didn't mean he wanted to practice medicine at a loss.

  "Wu Rui, actually, each patient only charges ten yuan, which is a bit too little. We can slightly increase the consultation fee based on the patient's condition, even if it's just a few dozen yuan more, and we'll easily solve our current difficulties." The silent Bingxuan suddenly proposed, and added: "Nowadays, people's lives are not rich, but a few dozen yuan is just a few meals, if they can cure their illnesses, I believe everyone won't mind."

  Bing Xuan's words immediately got unanimous agreement from the rest of the people.

  "This seems right too." Wu Rui did not refute it, and at the same time deeply thought about everyone's suggestions.
