Chapter 51: Superior Doctors Treat Unmanifested Disease
"City Lord, the newly recruited Dark Guards are acting on the streets with the employees of the Kitchen God Rice Divination. They either pretend to trip, pretend to be blind while passing by, or pretend to choke on food and need someone to pat them on the back. One by one, they are acting crazy and making a spectacle of themselves... Your subordinate believes they are no longer suitable to serve as Dark Guards."
At the City Lord's Mansion, a true Dark Guard dressed in plain clothes reported what he had seen and heard.
While narrating, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Clearly.
The players' conduct had seriously insulted the profession of the Dark Guard.
Xu Longyun remained silent.
"City Lord, this subordinate suggests we dismiss them all from the City Lord's Mansion." Seeing the City Lord did not respond, the Dark Guard gritted his teeth and continued, "Otherwise, if we let them continue to mess around, they will sooner or later bring disaster upon the City Lord's Mansion."
Do I not know that!
Xu Longyun sighed softly: "No need, keep them in the City Lord's Mansion and continue to teach them well."
"City Lord, I know they have excellent aptitude, but..." the Dark Guard argued eagerly.
"There are no 'buts'." Xu Longyun recalled the late-night talk he had with Lin Bai that day and subconsciously borrowed the words he had said, "Even a wooden stick or a bamboo spatula has its use, let alone a group of living people."
"..." The Dark Guard was silent for a moment, then said, "It is this subordinate who was narrow-minded."
"Order surveillance on the movements of all Heavenly Descended. Anyone who commits crimes or disturbs the common people is to be thrown into prison immediately and punished severely." Xu Longyun changed the subject, "Identify those among them with good character and incorporate them into the yamen runners; when necessary, order them to arrest criminals."
"Yes." The Dark Guard responded, his depressed mood finally improving slightly. He hesitated for a moment, "City Lord, should we still keep an eye on the Kitchen God Rice Divination?"
"Keep watching." Xu Longyun said, "Every move Lin Bai makes must be reported to me."
"City Lord, if Lin Bai commits a crime, can we take him?" the Dark Guard asked tentatively.
"Want to avenge Zhou Jiang?" Xu Longyun looked at the Dark Guard he had trained, his expression strange.
"Yes." The Dark Guard said honestly. Since Zhou Jiang woke up, the deeper the favorability Lin Bai had farmed at the time, the deeper the hatred the Dark Guards felt toward him.
Compared to the players, Lin Bai was even less of a human being.
Killing someone is just a matter of a head falling to the ground.
But Lin Bai? He hurt people to swindle money, and even pretended to be a good person to swindle feelings; the things he did were too vile.
The Dark Guards were of one mind.
Almost everyone was holding back, wanting to get even with Lin Bai.
"I advise you best not to do that; you are no match for him." Xu Longyun shook his head and smiled, "If you really want to vent your anger, you can send some Heavenly Descended to him."
Dogs biting dogs?
The Dark Guard knew the special nature of the Heavenly Descended, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "The City Lord is wise."
Leaving the City Lord's Mansion.
The heads of the four major families of Jiamu City gathered together.
The Luo Family Main Hall Master said: "What do you all think of the City Lord's new policy?"
The Song Family Main Hall Master lifted his eyelids and spat out two words: "Absurd."
The Gu Family Main Hall Master shook his head and said: "If this is pushed through, I fear Jiamu City will become a joke!"
The Luo Family Main Hall Master suddenly sighed: "Have you all considered that for these years, the City Lord has been diligent and conscientious, and has almost never made a mistake in her work. As a woman, she has held the position of City Lord of Jiamu City—the head of the twenty-two cities of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches—for over a decade. Don't you find it strange that such a meticulous person would suddenly do such an absurd thing?"
The Main Hall Masters looked at each other, all falling into silence.
"Strange things have occurred frequently in Jiamu City these past few days." The Luo Family Main Hall Master picked up his teacup, gently stirred the tea leaves floating on top with the lid, and said in a low voice, "I fear the world is about to change."
"Does the Luo Main Hall Master mean to follow the City Lord's wishes?" the Zhu Family Main Hall Master said.
"No matter what you all think, the Luo Family intends to take a gamble with the City Lord." The Luo Family Main Hall Master smiled faintly, "It is nothing more than the businesses in Jiamu City being a bit absurd; it doesn't have much impact on the businesses in other towns..."
The winds were rising and clouds were moving in Jiamu City, with strange occurrences emerging one after another, and the common people's entertainment life was greatly enriched.
And as the mastermind behind the scenes, Lin Bai was, at this moment, doing something more meaningful—treating illnesses and saving people.
The Kitchen God Rice Divination was being taken over by a few partners;
The future apprentice was working hard to learn how to be a good person;
The good big brother had taken less than two hours to carve out a territory for himself, so there was no need to worry about him for the time being;
Several systems had entered a good state of automatic operation, and Lin Bai only needed to sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor.
The only thing that required his operation was the newly emerged Peerless Divine Doctor System.
The world is too dangerous; learning good medical skills can save one's life.
Compared to the useless Kitchen God System, Lin Bai had higher enthusiasm for medical skills.
However, medical skills are different from culinary arts.
For a chef's task, even if he doesn't know how to cook, opening a restaurant and importing some goods from outside, he can still feed people.
But a doctor?
If one doesn't know how to treat an illness, one truly doesn't know; it's not like buying some medicine and giving it to someone to eat—that is being irresponsible toward life.
Although this is a strange world, and it is very likely that it is truly a game world where the people inside are data.
But Lin Bai walked around outside the medical clinic and, in the end, still couldn't bear to lay a hand on those patients who looked so pitiful.
After thinking it over, Lin Bai decided to find suitable patients himself.
And so.
He walked around outside the casinos and Goulan a few times, and soon found a few bad characters who needed his help.
If he couldn't bear to treat good people, then he would treat bad people.
A doctor has a benevolent heart; in a doctor's eyes, there are only patients, with no distinction between good and bad.
At the time.
They didn't seem to have any illnesses.
But the superior doctor treats the illness before it manifests.
After Lin Bai saved an old man who had been waylaid and robbed by them through the method of acting chivalrously and upholding justice.
The patients were naturally born.
"You are sick, do you know that?" Lin Bai leaned down, looking at the several pieces of social scum on the ground, some clutching their arms, some clutching their legs, begging for mercy loudly, his gaze gentle.
"Great Hero, I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again." The patient was clearly very familiar with the treatment process, enduring the pain, kneeling before Lin Bai, begging with tears and snot, "I have an eighty-year-old mother above and a three-year-old child waiting to be fed below; I was forced by circumstances to come out and rob. I swear this is the first time. I beg the Great Hero to let us go; we will definitely turn over a new leaf and be honest people from now on."
"No, you are not wrong. You are just sick. Look, your leg is broken." Lin Bai pointed at his twisted leg with concern and said.
"I broke it myself; it has nothing to do with the Great Hero." The patient froze for a moment, struggling to squeeze out a smile.
"Yes, yes, we all broke them ourselves. We beg the Great Hero to let us go; we will go find a doctor ourselves." The patients nearby chimed in one after another.
"What doctor are you going to find? I am a doctor." Lin Bai smiled, took out the injury medicine that Zhou Jiang had discarded from his bosom, and poured out a few pills, "Come, open your mouth. This is top-quality injury medicine; you will stop hurting soon after taking it."
"Great Hero, spare my life." The patient looked at the pill in Lin Bai's hand, his face changing color abruptly, "We only robbed a little money; the crime is not punishable by death... Mmph... cough cough..."
Taking advantage of the moment he was speaking, Lin Bai flicked his finger, and a pill had already flown into his mouth.
The patient tried to gag himself and coughed, but could not get anything out.
Seeing his companion being fed poison, the patient next to him revealed a ferocious expression, shouting crazily: "I know you, you are the black-hearted boss of Kitchen God Rice Divination. My cousin is a member of the Kuangfeng Gang. You had better let me go, otherwise, my cousin... Mmph..."
Taking advantage of the time he was speaking, Lin Bai flicked his finger and seized the time to feed him another pill, then looked at the last patient and asked: "Do you also have relatives in the Kuangfeng Gang?"
"Scared... Mmph..."
【Actively treated three patients (Completed); Reward: Physique +1 (Already issued)】
【Identifying the condition is the foundation of medical skill; accurately diagnose the conditions of ten patients; Reward: Physique +3】
MMP!
Are you really not going to reward medical skills?
Seeing the newly appeared task, Lin Bai's face turned black immediately. If it continued like this, what Peerless Divine Doctor—sooner or later he would end up with the nickname of a murderous Famous Doctor...
But complaining is complaining!
Lin Bai still looked at the patient in front of him and asked gently: "Your leg is broken, is my diagnosis correct?"
