Chapter 24: Share Half Upon Meeting (Thanks to Wushuang

~11 min read 2,107 words

That night, the gas explosion accident at Mercy Hospital made it to the trending searches on media platforms in Yacheng and even the entire Haizhou, causing heated discussion.

Half of the outpatient building was blown down, and other buildings also suffered varying degrees of damage.

The hidden dangers and negligence regarding public safety sparked collective public reflection.

It finally came to a temporary end with the relevant person in charge of the municipal agency holding a press conference and bowing to apologize.

And what surprised everyone was that such a serious accident occurred at the hospital, yet only one doctor passed away.

It is reported that Mr. Lawrence had been working at Mercy Hospital for seven years, conscientious and with a benevolent heart. It is truly a pity and a sigh that he encountered such a disaster.

Regarding this, Yacheng Tianmen University’s famous grinder, unknown critic, and direct victim of the accident, Mr. Ji Jue, who did not wish to be named, stated:

—Sounds like meow, let’s pop the champagne!

Unfortunately, although it was a good death, there was no champagne to pop.

Having experienced such a major accident, Mercy Hospital also fell into a state of having to rest and maintain.

Fortunately, the City Hall, which usually did nothing but bow, actually acted as a timely rain for once, transporting the hospitalized patients to other hospitals and paying a portion of the medical expenses that were completely insignificant to the masters. Although there weren't many people, it felt like the sun had risen from the west.

When Ji Jue was lying in the clean single room, he felt flattered, and then without hesitation, he ate four luxury nutritional meals in one day!

Two days later, Wen Wen suddenly came to the door and asked: I accidentally collapsed half of the outpatient building with one punch, and it only cost eight million to repair, but I don't know why, all the electric bikes and cars in the two parking lots were scrapped, with losses exceeding two hundred million. I don't know if you have any clues?

Ji Jue stated: I am just a victim, my head was injured, I have amnesia, you ask me, how the hell would I know?

My electric bike, which I bought from Lu Feng last year, second-hand, used by a girl, 99% new, is gone!

Did I say anything!

Anyway, admitting it is absolutely impossible. I have shed blood for the Federation and blocked bullets for Yacheng, how could I endure such slander? It must have been that bastard Lawrence who did it!

Moreover, I also have a heart of justice, didn't I just see Wen Wen facing evil forces alone and weak, so I took action out of righteousness?

If I had known she was so powerful and awesome that she was almost one palm away from unleashing eighteen dragons, then Ji Jue... well, he probably would have done the same.

Fighting, cool!

Keep fighting, keep cool!

It’s just that this matter ended up being so big, Ji Jue couldn't help but worry: "Did you get into any trouble?"

"Trouble? What trouble would I get into?"

Wen Wen sneered, flicking the cigarette ash out the window: "Do you really think I have to pay for this little money? Do you believe that if blowing up half of a hospital outpatient building could kill a pastor of the Dragon Sacrifice Society, the Security Bureau could flatten all the hospitals in Yacheng tomorrow?

Moreover, subverting the conspiracy and attack of a terrorist organization, preventing hundreds of thousands of people in the North Mountain District from being harmed, and blowing up the dog head of a pastor, the loss is only this little bit, the Viceroy would probably laugh in his dreams.

After this wave, the KPI of the entire Yacheng Security Bureau this year won't have to be worried about. If it weren't for the fact that they don't get along with me, those idiots would have to kowtow to me!

Now, those who were watching the fun on the side are probably regretting it so much that their intestines are turning green. If they could have intervened, such a great merit wouldn't have fallen into my pocket alone."

"Merit? What merit? Is there a bonus?"

Ji Jue’s eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but squirm on the bed, leaning closer, his smile as enthusiastic as a bootlicker: "Not to mention sharing half upon meeting, I also had output, team leader!

I have DKP, you can't not take me if you roll the loot!"

"Gone."

Wen Wen shrugged regretfully, digging into her empty pockets: "The things issued to me, you can't use, and you can't get the benefits inside the Security Bureau, but..."

She paused, revealing a smile: "There is a bit of a bounty on Lawrence."

"How much?"

Ji Jue’s eyes became even brighter: "To tell you the truth, I just love these worldly possessions!"

"Let me calculate, the Federal Security Bureau has a bounty of over ten million, not too much, the Empire has over forty million, and those lunatics in the hospital also put up quite a bit, but they want him alive... anyway, adding up all the miscellaneous things, it’s all here."

Saying that, she pulled a list from her chest pocket.

The number of over fifty-three million on it instantly blinded Ji Jue’s dog eyes!

It’s just a pity, it’s not a check.

It’s a donation form.

Donated by the North Mountain District Security Bureau office to the Chongguang Charity Foundation, which has been operating Mercy Hospital, and specified as a special donation for the repair and reconstruction of Mercy Hospital.

Ji Jue was stunned for a long time, and suddenly felt that this was not bad.

Although Lawrence has done many evils over the years, this does not mean that Mercy is a demon cave. For many patients who have no money and no way to survive, this kind of charity hospital may be the last straw. At critical moments, no matter how short the straw is, it can save a life!

Moreover, fifty million looks like a lot, Ji Jue couldn't spend it all even if he lived a life of luxury, but for a place like a hospital, it’s just a drizzle. Building a new building and adding two sets of new equipment and instruments would make it disappear instantly.

As the old saying goes, share half upon meeting.

Rounding it up, wouldn't I also be considered to have donated over twenty million to do good deeds?

Although I am still in extreme poverty, at least I am a legitimate Heaven-Chosen, am I afraid I won't be able to earn it? I don't even have to worry about student loans, okay? At worst, if I’m really forced into a dead end, I’ll cover my face and touch a couple of ATMs, wouldn't I have everything?

Watching Ji Jue holding the donation form and being happy in poverty, Wen Wen, who didn't see the expected scene, felt bored instead, couldn't help but shake her head, and took out a bag from the side and handed it over.

"Forget it, I won't tease you."

She said, "This is for you."

"Oh my, how embarrassing, oh↑ oh↓ oh→ oh..."

Watching this grandson pretend to decline for a long time, but his hand was holding the bag tightly, Wen Wen couldn't help but want to give him a big slap. At this time, you should show some high-mindedness!

"You spent too much, you spent too much. Actually, I don't value these things. Sister Wen, you understand me. The way I live, what I pay attention to is selflessness, what I abide by is dedication..."

Although he was chattering, Ji Jue’s hand didn't stop. As soon as he opened the bag, he saw the box inside. Opening it, "It’s a necklace, the style is quite unique!"

After habitually praising it, he suddenly reacted, looking up in shock at Wen Wen.

Something is wrong.

There is 120,000% something wrong!

We’ve only known each other for less than a week, and she’s giving me watches and jewelry... what is this for?

Are there too many routines for women in society!

He was so afraid of what to do if she took out car keys next... mainly because he felt his moral bottom line couldn't withstand the test!

I’m so afraid that after I degenerate, I’ll live a life of waking up in a seaside villa every day, eating, drinking, and driving luxury cars.

"What are you thinking?!"

Wen Wen rolled her eyes, could no longer endure it, and gave him a slap on the back of the head, then another: "This is something left by that guy from the Dragon Sacrifice Society. I can't use it, so I gave it to you. If you want it, take it; if you don't, I’ll take it away!"

"Don't, don't, don't, aren't I moved?"

Ji Jue hurriedly covered the bag, apologizing with a smiling face: "The warmth I’ve felt in Yacheng in my life is not as much as the two days I’ve known Sister Wen. My little pearls are almost falling out."

Saying that, he looked at the pendant in his hand happily.

It’s gold coins exploded from Lawrence again!

As the saying goes, when a whale falls, all things live. Ji Jue originally only felt that Lawrence died well, but he didn't expect that he was dying better and better! I hope more such people die in the future, preferably one every workday, and two on holidays.

The small necklace is only as big as a little finger joint. Embedded on the base is something that looks like a fragment from a statue, golden, carved with half a face. The only complete thing is the lips above, carrying a certain meaningful smile, like sadness and joy, mysterious and solemn, as if a god.

In the Security Bureau’s appraisal file, it is called the Mouth of the Ancient One.

Originally, it was an ancient alchemical product dug out from the Middle Earth by the Empire.

According to expert research, its record may date back to before the Cataclysm Era, and it may have been a holy object specially enshrined in temples, manufactured in imitation of the Emperor’s majesty during the heyday of the Central Empire.

Simply put, it’s a figure.

Of course, it can be kowtowed to and worshipped by so many people, it must not be an ordinary figure. It should be the kind that can be auctioned for hundreds of millions after being taken out, right?

It looks awesome!

Unfortunately, this thing was originally complete, but it was destroyed in the competition later, and the fragments were scattered everywhere.

Even as a fragment, it possesses special abilities.

And what it represents is self-healing.

It can accelerate wound repair, eliminate toxins, and eliminate abnormal states.

This type of equipment is always the most sought-after. After all, no one can guarantee that they won't have any bumps and bruises when they go out. You can never have too many life-saving things.

In the hands of a Heaven-Chosen like Lawrence, if the matrix is compatible and used properly, regrowing a severed arm is not a problem. Although Ji Jue doesn't have the [Vortex] matrix, it’s enough to exert two or three tenths of the effect.

"After injecting ectoplasm, it can accelerate wound repair or stabilize injuries, but its ability acts on promoting cell division. Using it too much will shorten your life, so I suggest you don't use it indiscriminately. Anyway, wearing it also has an effect."

Wen Wen reminded: "The side effect is that you will get hungry very quickly after being injured, and your appetite will increase several times. Pay attention."

"It’s okay, I get hungry quickly anyway, eating more is just an extra meal."

Ji Jue put it on happily, not caring at all. Anyway, the nutritional meals here are free and self-service, and it’s not like I’m paying for them. Before being discharged, I must eat through the cafeteria here!

"Be serious, this thing is for you to save your life."

Wen Wen’s expression became serious: "I just received the results of the Security Bureau’s survey on the scene today. The dragon blood pollution has been cleared to zero. There isn't much left at all, and it can be completely ignored."

"Ah, isn't this a good thing?" Ji Jue was confused.

After all, according to Wen Wen, that dragon blood thing, ordinary people might fall into madness and become messy ghosts after smelling it.

Now that it can be cleaned up, isn't it safe and secure? ===== CHAPTER 25 =====
