"Hah! Damn it! It really is cancer! You're so red you're turning purple! You've really endured!"
Ren Zhong had a full-body scan, and when Sun Miao looked at the three-dimensional human model on the wall, red like blooming roses, he marveled with such admiration.
Confirming that this person was indeed a "heaven-sent omen"—a terminal cancer patient, he felt a profound satisfaction.
Ren Zhong, lying obediently in the chair, nodded honestly, "Yeah, isn't it?"
"At this level of spreading, calling it terminal is not exactly modest."
"Ah. Dr. Sun, is the treatment expensive? I'm afraid I can't afford it."
The kind-hearted Dr. Sun swiftly switched to a compassionate expression, patting Ren Zhong's shoulder, "Don't worry, who in Starfire Town doesn't know that I'm the warm-hearted, uh, selfless Sun at Miracle Clinic? No need to fret about the treatment costs, I offer installment plans here!"
Ren Zhong: "But I only have 0.72 Contribution Points, and I'm just a helpless vagrant."
Sun Miao: "Zero down payment on installment! Ten years mortgage!"
Ren Zhong clasped Sun Miao's hand tightly, "Dr. Sun, you're a good person! I really appreciate it!"
...
Watching Sun Miao busily preparing the potion with his back turned to him, Ren Zhong felt a bit conflicted.
He knew the steps that followed like the back of his hand.
When to run, how to run away, how to negotiate, he had it all planned clearly.
But he couldn't help feeling a bit guilty, regardless of what happened, Sun Miao's life-saving grace was evident.
Ren Zhong certainly had a sense of shame, but in the face of emergency, he had to take action.
I shall repay this enormous kindness at a later date!
...
Injecting the Neuro-blocker, waiting five minutes, self-check.
Injecting the Abnormal Cell Eater Injection Liquid.
Sun Miao took out a brown bottle, ready to give instructions.
Seizing the opportunity, Ren Zhong grabbed it, "This is Nutritional Ointment, isn't it? Three times a day, finished in two days, I know."
Sun Miao was stunned, "Alright then, a total of 102 Contribution Points, just write me a note."
Ren Zhong suddenly sat upright, jumped off the lounge chair, and pulled out a pre-prepared note from his pocket.
On the note, he had already written in a strong and bold hand, "Today, I, Ren Zhong, have received treatment from Dr. Sun Miao at the Miracle Clinic in Starfire Town, owing a total diagnosis fee of (blank space) Contribution Points."
Ren Zhong snatched the pen from Sun Miao's hand and swiftly wrote the number 102 in the blank space.
Sun Miao froze, vaguely feeling something off.
How does a dying patient prepare a note for a debt in advance, just missing the digits?
You came prepared!
Then Ren Zhong cupped his hands, "Dr. Sun, I won't say more to thank you for your great kindness. The diagnosis fee I owe you today, I'll definitely pay back double another day! Farewell!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ren Zhong took a large step across to the entrance of the clinic.
With just a turn, the outside was a vast world.
About to draw half a tube of saline to complete the final sampling step, Sun Miao was caught off guard.
"No! Wait a minute! Stand there for the labor boss!" Sun Miao shouted anxiously from behind.
Ren Zhong chuckled inwardly.
He's anxious! He's anxious!
But on the surface, he pretended to be confused, "Dr. Sun, what else do you have to instruct?"
While talking, he didn't stop his steps, already stepping back one step, half of his body outside the clinic door.
"How can you, as a patient, not act like one? The doctor hasn't even let you go, can you leave? Get back here and lie down! There's one last dose of Immune Correction Potion, to boost your immunity, I'm giving it to you for free! No charge!"
Ren Zhong feigned embarrassment, waving his hand repeatedly, "How can I accept that? I've already owe you so much, Dr. Sun, I can't accept more of your kindness."
"Stand still! You stand still for me!"
Sun Miao stomped in frustration this time.
He genuinely feared that Ren Zhong would run away.
Although given his status in town, it wouldn't be difficult to find the person later.
But the issue was that the Abnormal Cell Eater was already injected, and the drug was working.
The cancer cells in Ren Zhong's body were being annihilated as they queued up. If the delay time exceeded five minutes, some Devourers would enter those key lymph nodes, making it very challenging to obtain the ideal samples.
However, Ren Zhong was merely putting on an act and didn't genuinely run away.
Sun Miao, on the other hand, had time to quickly grab a new syringe, pierce the large bottle beside him, and draw half a syringe of saline.
Then he quickly walked over, swiftly approaching Ren Zhong.
At the entrance, seeing the atmosphere had brewed enough, Ren Zhong was ready to reveal all.
