C7 Treatment

"Uh..."

The next morning, Chen Xing woke up from the pain. Although he had been disinfected, the wound caused by the acid still became inflamed. It was burning and extremely painful.

It seemed that he could only look for a doctor. Otherwise, the situation might continue to worsen until his skin rotted and fell off. However, this also meant that he would have to spend a few gold coins and three to four days of rest.

He had just found the clue to the Asylum No. 65. He had to make a small fortune before anyone else. Otherwise, if everyone knew about it, he might not even get a scrap of leftovers. After all, he was currently just an ant that anyone could easily pinch to death.

He could not predict the exact time, so the faster he acted, the better.

It would be great if he had a teammate who knew "Recovery Technique."

Chen Xing could not help but think. In this world, besides doctors, there was also a profession called "Quick Healer". The biggest difference between them and doctors was that "quick" meant that they could treat the injured in an effective and timely manner.

With the support of special talents, the Quick Healer could turn the spiritual energy in their body into life energy and output it to the injured. They could quickly recover the injured body tissue. They were the world’s most excellent first aid personnel. Usually, when doctors had no idea what to do with internal bleeding, they could simply use a Recovery Technique to stop the bleeding and instantly recover.

However, the number of Quick Healers was extremely rare. Only those who had awakened the "self-energy conversion talent" could use the Recovery Technique. Among all the Awakened ones, there was only a three in a thousand chance of such an ability appearing. Due to its rarity, it was also known as the "divine art", and the lowest level of society called it "green talent."

There were not many Awakened ones in the first place, and the probability of the two was even lower to one in ten thousand. Therefore, there were not many Quick Healers in the entire Red Soil Continent, and even in the entire world.

They had an extraordinary status. Under normal circumstances, only large mercenary groups with more than ten thousand people, or the troops of the nobility, would have one or two of them. Ordinary people had no chance to come into contact with them.

However, the heavens were fair. One door opened, and another closed. As an Awakened one, the Quick Healer could not use any spells other than the Recovery Technique.

As he thought about it, he thought of a person. To be exact, it was a woman called "Yeyang Bailiu."

In his previous life, Chen Xing had met her once. She was a woman who would have the thought of "good big, good white" the first time she saw her.

She was over 1.8 meters tall, had a voluptuous figure, fair skin, beautiful appearance, and a calm temperament. The reason why he thought of this woman was not because of her figure and appearance, but because ten years later, Yeyang Bailiu would become the strongest Quick Healer in Dragon Stone Town, and she would have the "great Recovery Technique" that could allow her to advance twice. As long as she still had a breath left in her, she could be saved.

However, these were not the most important things. The most important thing was that the rumored Yeyang Bailiu had a very low starting point. Compared to her future glorious status, she was currently living a very miserable life.

Yeyang was an ancient surname, and it was also one of the seven great families in the Northern Wilderness, Graypoint.

It was said that when Yeyang Bailiu was born, her mother died due to a difficult delivery. Her father loved her mother very much, so he hated her. From a young age, he ignored her. When she was about ten years old, he sent her to the King's City, the boarding school of the women and aristocrats in the Goanna City.

After that, her father remarried and married a young lady from a large family, giving birth to a daughter.

When Yeyang Bailiu was studying in the graduate school, her father suddenly died of illness. Her stepmother immediately cut off her tuition fees, and the people of the Yeyang family treated her as a jinx and did not like to talk to her.

Helpless, Yeyang Bailiu had no choice but to stop her studies and come out to work as a mercenary to earn money. At that time, her talent as a healer had not been awakened, and she did not have any combat experience. The only thing she knew was the ancient martial arts of the Yeyang family, a type of ancient fighting technique called "Gossip Palm."

To the mercenary group, Yeyang Bailiu's ability was like chicken ribs. Those who coveted her beauty and were afraid of the power of the Yeyang family, so no one cared about her in the Mercenary Association. Perhaps because she could not stay in Graypoint City anymore, Yeyang Bailiu followed the merchant group and landed in Dragon Stone Town. She met the old witch Hua Beidou, who was later known as the "Dragon Shepherd."

Hua Beidou's subordinate, Yeyang Bailiu, was originally just a logistics officer responsible for the daily supplies of the mercenary group. However, as her talent awakened, she slowly rose up and became one of the most dazzling stars in Dragon Stone Town.

Chen Xing looked at his watch. Today's date was 2612-5-16, which was two and a half months away from the time that Yeyang Bailiu had fallen to Dragon Stone Town. It seemed that it was not impossible to intercept Hua Beidou's plan.

However, he quickly gave up on this unrealistic idea. With his current strength, even the poor Yeyang Bailiu was not someone he could subdue. No matter how bad the other party was, she was still the young lady of the Yeyang family. She had been well fed since she was young, and she had been trained well. The evolution agent was like water to her, so her attributes were definitely higher than his.

Chen Xing took out the gold necklace and put the stainless steel pendant into his inner pocket. This thing was not worth much, but it contained important information that could not be seen by others. Then, he used the Black Watch to scan the gold necklace.

"Du du …"

Following the light notification, a set of data appeared on the screen.

Gold necklace, crafted before the Great Calamity, weighing 83 grams, unknown purity.

Market price: 20 ~ 26 gold coins (Orchid Town) 21 ~ 27 gold coins (Dragon Stone Town)

Seeing the Black Watch's valuation, Chen Xing could not help but frown and clench his fists. This price had already exceeded his expectations. He originally thought that there would only be a dozen or so.

After that, he packed up his things and left. When he passed by the front desk, he was met with a disdainful gaze, but he was in a good mood and ignored it.

After leaving the small hotel, he went to the bank in the town. This was the only building in the Orchid Town that was made of reinforced concrete and steel plates. It was also installed with a high-frequency particle transition communication device that could directly connect to the World Bank's central server.

An old gentleman dressed in a black tuxedo, with a bow tie and gold-rimmed glasses, received Chen Xing. After examining him with a magnifying glass for a while, the old gentleman reported the price, 17 gold coins, which was so black that it made one's hair stand on end.

Chen Xing politely expressed his gratitude and then turned around to leave. After selling the things to the bank, he would at least have to peel off two layers of skin.

After that, he checked the pistol and the dagger, then turned into a small alley in the corner.

The alley was dimly lit, and the walls were made of bricks and iron. The old wooden door opened, and the room was pitch black.

"Hey handsome, do you want a woman?"

A fat streetwalker wearing a red dress with colorful beads on her face and thick makeup on her face, with a purple eye shadow on her face, was smoking as she threw coquettish glances at Chen Xing.

The latter raised his hand, indicating that he was not free right now.

As he walked further in, he saw stalls on one side of the alley. They were covered in black oilcloth, and there were all kinds of things on them. There were firearms, dried meat, rice cakes, mechanical parts, and all kinds of small items, small crafts, such as iron kettles, copper lighter boxes, animal bone necklaces, and beautiful stone bracelets.

"Hmm..." An old man muttered to himself. His expression was extremely solemn as he looked at the gold necklace in Chen Xing's hand. He frowned and said with some regret, "It's made of gold..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Chen Xing turned around and left.

"Wait... Hey... Young man... Wait..." The old man opened his mouth wide and anxiously shouted, "My eyes are playing tricks on me!"

"How much?" Chen Xing stopped in his tracks and turned his head to ask expressionlessly.

The old man slowly stretched out five fingers.

"Wait... Eight... No... Nine..."

Chen Xing walked forward without turning his head back, regardless of how the old man shouted from behind.

"The quality is okay, twenty."

After a while, someone finally reported a reasonable price, but Chen Xing was still unsatisfied. The value of the Black Watch was still relatively accurate, at least it had to be sold for twenty-three.

The Black Watch could not scan the purity of the metal, so he went to the bank first to confirm the material before going to the back alley to look for a buyer. However, after walking around, the highest price was only twenty.

After walking for a while, his clothes rubbed against his skin, and he started to sweat. The small wounds all over his body were faintly painful.

Forget it, I'll go see a doctor first.

With this thought in mind, Chen Xing left the back alley and went to the main street.

The pedestrians on the street were a little sparse. A gust of wind blew past, sweeping up the withered leaves and dust. The rusty iron signboard swayed, appearing desolate and lonely.

According to his memory, he found a small clinic with a red cross on the glass window.

He walked in. The floor inside was still bright, and the walls were filled with all kinds of instruments that had fallen off. There were also a few iron beds with patients lying on them. In the middle was a operating table, and beside it stood a middle-aged male doctor wearing a white coat and a mask.

“One gold, seven silver.” After checking Chen Xing’s injuries, the doctor reported the price.

Chen Xing paid the bill straightforwardly. The doctor took out a box of medical equipment from the cabinet and treated his wounds. He applied some ointment. Then, he applied two bottles of anti-inflammatory medicine.

“Are you not going to deal with the corpse poison?” The doctor asked before he left.

“Let’s wait a little longer.” Chen Xing said, then left. It was not that he did not want to deal with it, but he did not have enough money. After selling the gold necklace, he still had to buy a motorcycle and ammo. He would see how much money he had left.

As long as the corpse poison level was below 15%, it would slowly decrease over time.

After leaving the clinic, Chen Xing quickly realized that he had been followed!

It seemed that he had been targeted when he was asking for the price in the back alley. Although no one dared to make a move on the main street, the feeling of being watched made him very uncomfortable. He could not help but quicken his footsteps, wanting to get rid of the other party.

He turned left and right in the streets and alleys. After a few minutes, he finally got rid of the stalker. However, just as he was relieved, a clear voice came from a shop on the side, making his heart jump.

"Handsome, you're here again~"

The voice was as pleasant as a silver bell, but it made Chen Xing extremely depressed. Unknowingly, he had passed by Aaliyah's gun shop. He had just left the wolf's nest and entered the tiger's den.

He had to avoid this evil girl who was vicious and cruel. However, it was not good to offend her, so he pretended not to hear her. He could only stop and greeted her with a smile, "Hello, we meet again."

"I heard that someone took out a gold necklace in the back alley just now. Could it be you?" Aaliyah walked out with her small waist and asked with a smile.

"This..." Chen Xing hesitated for a moment before replying, "Yes." Since she had asked, she must have received the exact news. There was no point in lying. Moreover, Orchid Town was so big, so it was hard to see each other. Forcefully denying it would only worsen their relationship. He did not want to be remembered by the future "King Level".

"Why didn't you take care of me when you had business?" Aaliyah pouted and put her hands on her hips, looking angry. "I thought we were familiar with each other."

"I was just about to come and find you..." Chen Xing said against his will.

"Okay, okay, quickly take it out and take a look ~" Aaliyah immediately revealed a look of surprise as she stretched out her small white hand and shouted excitedly.

There were some things that were better left unsaid...
