Inside the clinic.
Du Heng watched the Old Lady drink the Minor Bupleurum Granules.
Then, in just about ten seconds, the system’s statistical data finally changed to 1,000.
Renowned in the Countryside: Effective treatnt for 1,000/1,000 cases (completed), monthly subsidy of 50,000 yuan, reward of Gynecology and Pediatrics Expertise (to be claid).
Great Fa (activated): Effective treatnt for 0/3,000 cases (in progress), monthly subsidy of 100,000 yuan, reward of Surgical Expertise (not completed).
It’s done. Finally done.
Looking at the pale blue screen before him, Du Heng almost jumped up with excitent.
However, considering the Old Lady in front of him and Sir Tian sitting on the stool with needles in him, Du Heng restrained himself.
It had been a whole month, an entire month.
The prescriptions he had issued and the diagnostic reports he had written, if stacked up, would be taller than him.
A rough estimate would definitely put the number over two thousand.
But many people simply ca for a consultation and didn’t really follow Du Heng’s advice to get their dicine compounded and take it on ti, or to go to a Big Hospital for inpatient treatnt.
Surprisingly, this accounted for nearly half of them.
This clearly showed that the dical environnt in rural areas and the health of the farrs were, at this stage, definitely major problems.
Du Heng pushed aside those headache-inducing issues. He wanted to fully savor the feeling of being wealthy.
Poor people who suddenly beco rich feel an irresistible urge to show off; otherwise, they feel terrible.
However, the current environnt and timing simply didn’t allow Du Heng to flaunt his new wealth.
There was nothing he could do; Du Heng could only try hard to suppress his excitent, controlling his slightly trembling hands as he removed the needles from Sir Tian’s body.
"Sir Tian, co early tomorrow morning. Before the check-up starts, I’ll give you another acupuncture treatnt. Take the dicine ho, decoct it yourself, and drink it twice a day."
"Alright, whatever my grandson says, Grandpa will listen."
These words were very uncomfortable to hear. However, Sir Tian was indeed an elder figure, and Du Heng was, in comparison, like a grandson. So, Sir Tian wasn’t technically wrong.
But Du Heng still felt displeased.
The task was completed, and a huge sum of 50,000 yuan was about to be credited to his account, yet even that couldn’t suppress this displeasure.
This Sir Tian was a real pain.
Du Heng didn’t want to talk anymore. He packed up the needle utensils and walked out.
Returning to his desk, Du Heng took a deep breath.
"Alright, next! Let’s continue."
"Senior Brother, are those two alright?" Wu Buwei asked softly.
Du Heng’s anxiety today had puzzled Wu Buwei. After all, for the past month, whenever Du Heng conducted an examination, every on-the-spot treatnt Wu Buwei had witnessed was for severe and difficult-to-treat cases.
Du Heng was in a good mood and willing to reassure him during the examinations, "They’re fine, don’t worry."
DING DONG.
DING DONG.
Two consecutive mobile phone notifications made Du Heng, who was struggling to suppress his excitent, feel a thrill surge through him once more.
No need to guess; it must be the salary paynt notification.
Because, as soon as his phone chid, Wu Buwei’s phone rang as well.
He hadn’t even been this nervous when he first discovered the system. Besides, he’d already received ten thousand yuan once, and this was only 50,000 yuan. Thinking about the 100,000 yuan task still to co, there was no real reason to be so excited.
Calm down. I must calm down.
He tried to think that way, but his body was out of control. His brain frantically secreted dopamine as if it were free, and Du Heng’s fingers trembled as he perford the pulse diagnosis.
"Kid, are you alright?" the old man opposite him asked, noticing Du Heng’s trembling.
"I’m fine."
Du Heng said he was fine, but his body couldn’t stop stiffening.
I can’t take it anymore! I have to look at my phone, see if the 50,000 yuan has arrived. I need to find soone to show off to, to vent a little!
Forcing himself to appear calm, Du Heng reluctantly finished the pulse diagnosis for the old man opposite him and paused his morning tasks.
"Buwei, pack up. We’ll go to my place for the noon break."
"Okay, Senior Brother."
Du Heng’s behavior this morning was very abnormal, completely at odds with his usual composed deanor.
Although Wu Buwei was puzzled, he obediently packed up his things.
Walking ho, Du Heng couldn’t resist glancing at his phone.
When he saw the notification confirming the 50,000 yuan deposit, he almost leaped into the air.
However, his excited and apprehensive heart finally cald down sowhat.
Arriving at his doorstep, Du Heng told Wu Buwei to go to his older brother’s house, while he himself turned and entered his own yard. He still had an important task to complete: claiming the reward.
His first experience hadn’t been great. Thinking about the aftereffects, Du Heng still felt it was better to find a secluded spot.
He claid it with practiced ease; the process was identical, and the experience was exactly the sa.
However, the symptoms were mild enough to be negligible.
The Gynecology and Pediatrics Expertise didn’t actually cover much new content. He had already mastered most of it during his Internal dicine Expertise; this was just more detailed. The additions were mainly knowledge related to the Obstetrics Departnt and Neonatology Departnt.
As he ntally reviewed the knowledge again and again, Du Heng felt he probably wouldn’t use it.
Obstetrics Departnt... In this day and age, probably no pregnant woman would go to the Health Clinic to give birth. Therefore, this knowledge in his mind likely wouldn’t be needed.
As for the Neonatology Departnt... sigh... if there are no won in childbirth, where would newborns co from?
Forget it, forget it. This reward is a bit of a letdown. Better to look forward to the next Surgical Expertise reward.
Fortunately, there was also the 50,000 yuan salary this ti; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been worth this busy month.
But why did the system’s 100,000 yuan seem more appealing than this 50,000 yuan?
Three thousand cases? That doesn’t seem like too many.
With his mood calming down, Du Heng picked up his phone.
He sent a ssage to Wang Shuqiu: "Are you in class?"
Wang Shuqiu replied instantly: "No, I’m done with classes and correcting howork now."
Du Heng: "Do you have ti tonight?"
Wang Shuqiu: "What do you want to do?"
Du Heng: "I want to."
Wang Shuqiu: "Get lost, you pervert."
Du Heng: "Let treat you to dinner after work, can I?"
Wang Shuqiu: "You can, but I choose the place."
Du Heng: "Alright. Choose a big one; I’m bringing two people."
Wang Shuqiu: "You’re not inviting just ? Then I’m not going."
Du Heng: "Fine, don’t go then. I was planning to treat you to a good al."
Wang Shuqiu: "Dream on! Wait for my call. I’ll find a place and eat you poor. No more chatting, I’m going to eat."
Since Wang Shuqiu had treated Du Heng to a al last ti, their perception of each other had improved considerably, and they began to communicate much more frequently.
As for their current relationship, Du Heng couldn’t quite define it.
If you could call it dating, they lacked that constant, yearning impulse for each other. When they thought of it, they might chat. When they didn’t, they could go two or three days without exchanging a single ssage.
If you called them ordinary friends, they would still occasionally exchange a few ambiguous or, one might say, flirtatious words, and neither of them found it offensive.
Overall, it was simple and tranquil, like a glass of lukewarm water—bland, yet comfortable.
Du Heng chuckled, picked up his phone, and sent a text ssage to the new recruit who had been helping them with data entry, before getting up to walk to his older brother’s house.
Now that I have money, I can help Big Brother’s animal husbandry business develop faster.
