Chapter 90 Self-service Queuing Machine and New Rules

  After the clinic's popularity soared, a series of troubles also made Wu Rui very worried. After listening to the suggestions of Bai Qing and other nurses, he decided to make some changes. The first thing to do was to install an automated queuing machine. As the owner of the dimensional clinic, Wu Rui naturally wouldn't go to the store to buy it, so he waited until the clinic closed before entering the dimensional space.

  "Xiao Xuan, are there any self-service queuing machines in your department?" Wu Rui didn't hurry to call the patient, but instead asked Zhi Nao Xiao Xuan first.

  "On our planet of Mechanus, services won't be as inefficient as on Earth. Even if there are queues or registrations, they're basically all done directly with brain-computer reservations. Self-service queuing machines have been obsolete for thousands of years." Xiaohuan poured a basin of cold water on Wu Rui, her voice filled with a hint of complacency.

  How despicable!

  "Hmm..." Wu Rui was slightly stunned, then reluctantly began to search for other technological planes in the scientific plane. The machine plane is a high-tech civilization, and what Wu Rui is looking for now is a mid-level tech plane, or even a low-level tech plane.

  "Anlunbu, initial wisdom surface wooden horse star, human! Initial wisdom surface has just entered the intermediate level of technological civilization, and was named after the initial wisdom due to the involvement in brain technology. Anlunbu is the military minister of the Wooden Horse Star Alliance, who lost mobility due to being hit by an interstellar enemy on his leg, second-level injury, can be cured for 5 points."

  "It's up to you!" Wu Rui didn't hesitate any longer and directly chose to summon.

  Perhaps taking into account Anlunbu's injuries, the dimensional clinic did not transmit him outside this time, but instead appeared directly on a chair in the clinic's hall.

  Arnold Brul is a tall, middle-aged man with a European face, blond hair, blue eyes and a high nose. He wears a strange-colored military uniform and carries weapons. Perhaps due to the relevant information from the clinic, Arnold's eyes are somewhat dull at this time, and it takes him a long time to come back to his senses.

  "Hello, Dr. Wu!" Anlun said with a strange gesture after receiving the clinic's information, he already knew Wu Rui's identity and that this place was called Weidian Clinic, a magical place where one could gain health by paying something, which made Anlun's heart involuntarily excited.

  "Hello, An Lun. Your injury doesn't seem minor. I can heal your wound quickly, but I need a self-service queuing machine. Do you have one in your world?" Wu Rui got straight to the point without beating around the bush.

  "Oh…… the self-service queuing machine is just a small thing, I can provide it for Dr. Wu." An Lun let out a sigh of relief, originally he was worried that Wu Rui wanted something valuable, in which case even if Wood Horse Star had it, An Lun wouldn't have enough money to buy it!

  Anlun's injury is not simple, and even the wooden horse star can treat it, but the treatment time will not be fast. The bullet shot through a blood hole in his thigh, more importantly, it injured the bone inside. Under normal circumstances, even on the wooden horse star, it would take several months to recover.

  But for Wu Rui, it wasn't a problem. With just a simple Rejuvenation Technique and a Bone Revival, two simple spells were enough to directly restore his leg wound to its original state.

  Less than half an hour later, Anlunbu's self-service queuing machine was paid for and delivered. It was over a meter high, with exquisite workmanship, and had a screen on top, but no wires or cables were seen. Wu Rui felt a bit frustrated as he didn't know how to use it at all.

  Apart from this, Anlunbu also prepared a ticket validator and toilet paper, with the latter having a whole large box, inside which there were hundreds of rolls, which should be enough to use for many years.

  "Master, need any help?" The small Xuan in the wrist suddenly asked, it turned out that Wu Rui had not closed it just now, and seeing Wu Rui's puzzled expression, it automatically asked.

  "Right! How could I forget about Xiao Xuan!" Wu Rui slapped his forehead heavily and then humbly asked for advice.

  Xiao Xuan just scanned it, and directly invaded the self-service queuing machine's system, bringing all the information inside over. While analyzing, he said: "This self-service queuing machine has adopted advanced solar energy and wireless technology, which can wirelessly access electricity and network. However, the text and some software inside are not suitable for use on Earth at present, but as long as I modify them a bit, they will be fine."

  "Then go ahead!" Wu Rui approved without hesitation.

  I don't know how Xiaoxuan did it, but two minutes later, the self-service queuing machine automatically started up, and the screen lit up with a "ding" sound. Two large options appeared on the screen: the first was "Queue Registration", and the second was "VIP Service".

  At this time, Xiao Xuan said proudly: "Master, it's all set. I deleted most of the useless functions and replaced the original IC card scanning function with a mobile phone signal source scanning function. In other words, now as long as you bring your mobile phone close to the queue machine, the system will send the serial number to your mobile phone, and you can also query the queue situation, estimated waiting time, cancellation of registration and other services through SMS. If the clinic needs to be closed, the system can also send notifications to everyone and automatically delay the queue time."

  "Not bad, not bad." Wu Rui genuinely liked it and immediately left the clinic to return to Shen Nong Clinic. He put the self-service queuing machine in front of the gate and tried again with his mobile phone that he hadn't used for a long time.

  "Drip!"

  "You have new messages."

  While the self-service queuing machine printed out a receipt, Wu Rui's mobile phone also quickly received an SMS. When she opened it and took a look, she was delighted.

  "Your queue number is 001, with no one in front of you. As it's currently after office hours, we estimate that your turn will be tomorrow morning at 9:00 AM. Please arrive on time. Thank you for trusting Shennong Clinic and wishing you a speedy recovery. To inquire about the queue status, please reply 1. For ticket cancellation, please reply 2. For other services, please directly reply to Shennong Clinic."

  Wu Rui smiled and then replied 2.

  "Refund successful, thank you for your cooperation. If you need to make an appointment, please reply 'appointment@phone number'. This machine can directly reply 'appointment', other services please reply 'Shennong Clinic'."

  "Not bad, not bad, Xiao Xuan, you're really awesome." Wu Rui couldn't help but praise Xiao Xuan, he was quite satisfied with the self-service registration machine's function, should say extremely satisfied, completely beyond his expectations, especially the mobile phone SMS query function, not only convenient, but also let patients in line save a lot of trouble.

  "That's natural!" Xiao Xuan didn't know what humility was, and with a smile, she accepted the master's praise.

  ……

  The next day, the three nurses who got up to go to work saw the self-service queuing machine and were surprised. After listening to Wu Rui's description, they couldn't help but exclaim and test it with their own mobile phones one after another.

  "Wu Dafu, where did you buy this self-service queuing machine? It's so advanced!" Bai Qing couldn't help but ask in surprise. The self-service queuing machines at the bank were nothing compared to this one.

  "Haha, I'm not sure either. A friend brought it over last night." Wu Rui just laughed and naturally wouldn't tell the truth.

  "Wait a minute!" However, Chunzhu suddenly made an unusual sound and found that everyone was looking over, so she asked her question: "As far as I know, mobile phone signal reception requires software support, but our mobile phones clearly don't have any installed software. Mei's aunt's isn't even a smartphone, just a regular functional phone, it's impossible to have this function."

  In the end, Chun Zhu turned her questioning gaze towards Wu Rui.

  The other two women thought about it and felt that it was reasonable. Mobile payment functions are already very common, and subways, buses, Alipay, and even banks can all be used, but these all require some software support. However, this self-service queuing machine in front of us is obviously forcibly intercepting mobile phone signals, a tactic that shocks people.

  "Huh?" The three women's skeptical gazes left Wu Rui stunned, realizing that the technology of this self-service queuing machine was a bit too advanced. He couldn't explain it clearly either and could only continue to gloss over with his previous excuse: "I don't know what's going on either, my friend just sent this thing over... as long as it works, let's not delve deeper into it. Next, I'll talk about the clinic's new regulations."

  With Wu Rui's interruption, the three women did not delve deeper into the matter of the self-service queue machine, but instead focused all their attention on the new rules that Wu Rui had mentioned.

  "I thought carefully for a whole night and felt that your suggestions yesterday were very reasonable. In addition to adding self-service queuing machines, I have added some other regulations." Wu Rui said seriously: "Firstly, the plan I mentioned yesterday to only accept 100 patients per day is still in effect. Secondly, for ordinary minor illnesses that can be easily treated by ordinary clinics or hospitals, we will try not to treat them as much as possible, so as to reduce patient traffic. Please inform the patients of this regulation. Of course, when there are fewer patients, we can accept more."

  The three nurses nodded in understanding, and Wu Rui continued: "In addition, we'll slightly increase the consultation fee. For ordinary cases, rural residents, migrant workers, and grassroots people will still be charged 10 yuan, while the wealthy will be charged 50 or even 100 yuan. Bai Qing, you can adjust the price according to the specific situation. As for serious illnesses, poor patients will be charged a few dozen yuan, but rich patients... just go ahead and charge them as much as you want!"

  "Additionally, there's also a VIP service where you can skip the queue, but the consultation fee is over 100,000."

  "...Three nurses were somewhat stunned, clearly not expecting Wu Rui's new rule to change so much.

  Especially Bai Qing, who was already stunned at this time, asked dryly after a long while: "Doctor Wu, isn't this good? Especially that level of classification, if the patient finds out, they might get emotional."

  "The classification is normal, as far as I know, the benefits enjoyed by urban and rural people are different now, including social security, medical care, insurance, education and other aspects!" Wu Rui, however, had a different opinion. Having lived in the city for quite some time, he even learned to surf the internet and often communicated with patients, so in some ways, he was no longer the little white he used to be.

  Pausing for a moment, Wu Rui continued: "Besides, the consultation fees we charge are not excessive, patients should be able to understand."

  The three nurses thought carefully and also felt it was reasonable, so they no longer opposed it.
