Chapter 55
The next morning, the entire family arrived at Fengshui Medical Center.
It was a famous private hospital, and it was indeed different from other hospitals. There was actually a small parking lot at the entrance, and there were plenty of luxurious cars parked there. Bai Jiacao’s eyes were fixed on them.
“Big Brother, isn’t that an antique car from Earth? It’s called Wuling Hongguang, right? It looks so stylish!”
The girl swung her brother’s arm vigorously. She was so excited that she almost went mad.
But the future Dark Witch was not to be blamed for not having any knowledge of the world.
Many of the tiny vehicles on Earth were beginner-level cars great for buying groceries.
But as all of Dragon City transmigrated, the city no longer had a production line.
Besides, there was no fuel or gas in the Other World. They used spirit energy as a resource, and crystal stone engines were used to move the car.
Now, all the old cars running in the market were modified carefully by elites to use crystal stone engines. The best quality old cars were all manually modified.
When something was valuable, it was also expensive. The value of the cars could no longer be measured by the prices of the brands in the past. Regardless of whether the car was a Rolls-royce or Wuling Hongguang, all of them were unique pieces of art.
Besides, Dragon City was very strict when it came to space control to fit tens of millions of people into a narrow space. If the price of a car was one million, then the parking fees for that car per year were at least two million. When the vehicle and vessel tax, road tax, special resource tax, and everything else was added together, the person had to pay five million for it.
Private cars were the symbol of nobility. Not a single private car could be found in Blessed Heavenly Garden. It was no wonder then why Bai Jiacao was making a fuss.
A thought appear in Meng Chao’s mind. “When I become a superhuman, I’ll get a car for us too. Dad, do you like Wuling Hongguang?”
There was no man who did not like cars, and Meng Yishan’s breathing quickened. He made an insincere comment. “Why would I want to drive a car? 3D mobile gears are pretty good, and it’s easier to climb buildings with them. You can’t waste your money like that just because you have cash.”
“You can’t say that. Even if you don’t need one, the company will need it. I don’t intend to keep the company small. I want to make it big and strong so that we can dominate the middle-tier and low-tier market in the city.
“At that time, we’ll be able to harvest all sorts of monsters. If you go out and make business deals, how are you supposed to keep up appearances if you don’t have a car?” Meng Chao asked with a smile.
Meng Yishan was tempted, but he waved his hand. “We’ll talk about it later. This matter isn’t even settled yet. Even if we really want to buy one, we can’t buy such a lavish antique car. Look at our family, how could we possibly drive a Wuling Hongguang?”
Meng Chao thought that his father made sense.
Even if he managed to break through the limits with his identity as a reborn human and become a superhuman, driving a Wuling Hongguang would still be too flashy for him.
“Then let’s drive a Mighty Dragon.” Meng Chao had a new goal to fight for.
Mighty Dragon was a local car producing factory. It was also the only private car production company after they transmigrated.
Bai Jiacao heard him, and she behaved like a child on Earth hearing that her family wanted to buy a private jet.
“We’re going to buy a car! Am I dreaming?” She grabbed her brother’s arm and bit the back of his hand.
Meng Chao yelped and smacked the back of his sister’s head. “Let go! Are you mad?!”
“Ack! It hurts! I’m not dreaming…” The future Dark Witch covered her head and giggled like an idiot. “Hehe, we’re going to buy a car. We’re going to buy our very own car!”
The family chatted while they entered the hospital.
The private hospital was decorated in a very elegant manner. There were more medical staff compared to patients, and there was a faint fragrance that seeped into everyone’s hearts. It was a completely different world compared to the government hospitals, which were as busy as a market.
Ning Shewo had already made calls for Meng Chao, so the medical staff who came to receive them did so with huge smiles. They were very attentive, which made Meng Yishan and Bai Suxin feel flattered.
“Don’t worry. Elder Ning helped me contact Doctor Su Yuan, who is the most famous doctor here. He’s a five-star superhuman who specializes in healing. His skills have reached the pinnacle of perfection. You’ll definitely have no problem if you’re treated by him,” Meng Chao comforted his mother.
Doctor Su Yuan was the type the young nurses would talk about in private while they let their fantasies run wild.
He was so handsome that he looked like he was an actor in a drama about the medical world. He did not look like a real doctor.
But his tall nose and thin lips showed that he was not a person with a good temper.
When he saw Meng Chao and his family, he showed no expression on his face. He just went straight to the point and said, “You’re Meng Chao. I heard from Uncle Ning that you’re very skilled with the Seven Dissection Methods Performed in Reverse.”
Ning Shewo had mentioned this, so Meng Chao was not curious about it. “I only have shallow knowledge. I don’t know whether I’m really skilled or not.”
“Could you show me?”
Doctor Su Yuan opened a leather pouch designed in a classical style. There were all sorts of instruments in it. Some of them looked like tools for harvesters, but they were smaller and more exquisite.
Meng Chao did not hold back. His fingers flew over the silver instruments before he tapped them gently. Then, a few steel needles and blades started dancing lightly on his fingertips.
This was the first time Bai Suxin and Bai Jiacao saw Meng Chao display his harvesting skills.
Even though he was only putting on a demonstration, his movements were smooth, and the skills he used were exquisite and peerless. The faint confidence Meng Chao radiated left them stunned. They felt like they had gotten to know a brand new Meng Chao.
Doctor Su Yuan’s sparkling eyes were fixed on him.
Meng Chao executed all seven of the Seven Dissection Methods Performed in Reverse from his memories. Around twenty different surgical instruments danced gracefully between his fingers and created a flowing light. Even though he was obviously a little stiff and clumsy, a surge of emotions appeared in Doctor Su Yuan’s eyes.
Once Meng Chao put down the surgical instruments, Doctor Su Yuan was silent for a long time while thinking about what he saw.
Suddenly, a notification popped up in Meng Chao’s field of vision.
[After receiving your guidance, elite citizen Su Yuan obtained a brand new understanding towards surgery. Increased contribution points by 49.]
Meng Chao could not help but smile and say, “Doctor Su, these are harvesting skills. Will they be useful for surgery?”
Su Yuan released a long sigh. There was amusement in his eyes. “Harvesters and doctors both rely on their hands to earn a living. Many of the techniques can be applied in both fields.
“If the Seven Dissection Methods Performed in Reverse can be used to extract poison sacs from monsters, then it’s only natural that they can be used to extract tumors from patients. Meng Chao, your skills have just provided me with great help!”
Meng Chao quickly said, “Doctor Su, I learned this technique online. I’m not familiar with it, and I can’t be said to have executed it accurately, but this concerns human lives, so you must be careful.”
Su Yuan smiled. “But of course. I can tell that you aren’t skilled yet, but the more unskilled you are, the more I can tell just how valuable the skill itself is. I wonder which senior is so great that he could push the Seven Dissection Methods Performed in Reverse to such great heights.”
Meng Chao thought about it. “The senior asked me to not mention his name, but he frequently appears in life science forums in the deep web. I’ll give you a few links later. Perhaps you’ll find a chance to personally talk to the senior.”
“That would be great. Uncle Ning didn’t make a misjudgment. Meng Chao, you’re truly a good person.”
Su Yuan could no longer hide his smile. “Come, Madam Meng, please sit here. I’ve already read your treatment records from the government hospital. The main problem is that your legs have been trapped under rubble for too long, and your joints suffered a necrosis. Your nerves have also atrophied.
“Over the past decade, Dragon City’s medical skills have developed very quickly. Many of the difficult diseases that were difficult to treat in the past can be treated now. The problem you face shouldn’t be a big deal.”
He helped Bai Suxin to the examination bed.
Then, he focused, and his expression became stern.
Faint green marks rose on his temples. Like the tender shoots of a willow tree, they spun around his eyes before trailing down his cheeks until they went past his collarbones, arms, and finally reached his fingertips.
It looked as if a set of beautiful and exquisite tattoos had appeared on him. Faint spirit energy spread out from him, and it gave off a fragrance as refreshing as that of bamboo.
When he touched Bai Suxin with his fingertips, she cried out in surprise. “There’s a wave of qi running through my legs. It feels so good!”
Su Yuan blinked. His pupils suddenly split into two, turning into the legendary polycoria. They shone with a brilliant light.
“You’re very determined. You always go through physiotherapy, right? The atrophication of your blood vessels and nerves isn’t as bad as I thought it would be,” he said after he examined her situation carefully.
Bai Jiacao was extremely stunned. She tugged at the hem of Meng Chao’s shirt. “Big Brother, Doctor Su Yuan looks really weird right now!”
“Hush! There’s nothing strange about it!” Meng Chao said. “When spirit energy gathers in a human body, it flows through the blood vessels and nerves. In fact, it can even show up on our skin to turn into profound, complicated, and beautiful marks. This is the Spirit Tattoo, the mark of a one-star superhuman.
“When you become a two-star superhuman, you will reach Spirit Transformation. Your organs will be stimulated, and you’ll go through all sorts of amazing changes. Forget about polycoria, it’s normal for you to even sprout wings. Doctor Su is really giving his all right now.”
“Ah! Then why isn’t he sending Mom to take a scan or to those MRI scanners? There are loads of machines in the government hospitals.”
“Three-star superhumans reach a state called Spirit Gathering. They’re able to see into their own organs and gain a thorough understanding of their own bodies.
“When they become four-star superhumans, they reach a state called Spirit Wielding. They can use their minds to control spirit energy. They can produce stable and precise vibrations which they control. It allows them to widen the magnetic field of their lives. In fact, they can even reject the magnetic field of the planet, which lets them float in the air.
“And five-star superhumans reach a state called Spirit Gaze. They can use their magnetic fields to sense other people’s organs, blood vessels, nerves, and bones. Doctor Su is a five-star superhuman. He doesn’t need X-ray machines or MRI scanners.
Bai Jiacao gasped in amazement. The world of superhumans was truly exciting and amazing.
