"Ahh!!"
Hearing the miserable screams from Seventh Brother in front of him, Lu Yuan pushed up the glasses on his nose bridge and asked in surprise, "Really, does it hurt that much?"
Tears brimmed in Seventh Brother's eyes as he pointed at his completely deformed leg and cried, "Big brother, you're a doctor, can't you see what kind of injury this is?"
"Alright, even if you can't see it, didn't you hear the crisp 'crack' sound just now?"
Lu Yuan's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
It seemed like there was a sound like that?
"Hey, Hey?! What are you going to do?!"
Next, under Seventh Brother's horrified gaze, Lu Yuan grabbed his severely deformed leg and forcefully wrenched it!
Crack!
"Ahhh!"
Amidst the agonized screams, Seventh Brother's face had lost all traces of humanity.
As for Lu Yuan, he had a serious and solemn expression as he looked at Seventh Brother's leg, then looked up at him and said solemnly, "Hmm, it can be confirmed that the bone is broken."
Seventh Brother: "......"
"Ahhh!"
The piercing pain brought another wave of screams from Seventh Brother. At this moment, he was filled with regret in his heart!
He had only wanted to drop by this remote small town clinic to scout around. How did he run into such a ruthless man?
Not only were all of his brothers taken down, he himself had to suffer this torment!
In his agony, Seventh Brother looked at Lu Yuan, who was slowly pinching and prodding his broken leg. Finally, he mustered up some courage and said,
"A warrior can be killed but not humiliated. Doctor, please end my suffering..."
Lu Yuan looked up in astonishment. He did not expect the young man in front of him to be so fragile.
One so young and perfectly healthy, yet he was ready to give up on life so easily?
Lu Yuan felt that he needed to admonish this young man who did not know how to cherish his life.
Immediately, he sternly rebuked Seventh Brother, "Don't talk nonsense! Wait for me! Trust me!"
Lu Yuan's sudden harsh tone frightened Seventh Brother. The bit of courage he had gathered from the pain instantly disappeared.
"D-Doctor, I absolutely trust you!"
"Please, be g-gentle, it h-hurts too much..."
Lu Yuan slowly assessed the joint injuries in Seventh Brother's legs, and nodded. "Alright, my grip is a bit strong, endure it for a while."
Seventh Brother's expression changed. What does that mean?
Next second, crack—
"Ahhh!"
Outside the consultation room.
Hearing the occasional miserable screams coming from inside, Liu Yuan was very calm, while Zhang Baobao was a little confused.
She tugged at Zhang Fenglan's clothes beside her and asked in a tender voice, "Mommy, is Brother Lu slaughtering pigs inside?"
Zhang Fenglan smiled and stroked Zhang Baobao's hair, "That shouldn't be the case..."
Zhang Baobao blinked her large, limpid eyes that resembled a deep pool and tilted her head as she looked thoughtfully at Zhang Fenglan in front of her.
Next to her, Liu Yuan observed the entire scene.
Zhang Fenglan controlled by an A.I. chip could only use generic platitudes to gloss over a lot of the conversations.
Clearly, little Zhang Baobao had noticed something amiss.
Inside the consultation room.
Seventh Brother's whole body felt numb and drenched in sweat, with a look of utter despair on his face.
It was as if he had just been ravaged by several burly men.
After repeated testing, Lu Yuan finally came to a conclusion. He looked at Seventh Brother and said,
"It's just a bone fracture. I can set it back in place but personally I don't recommend it."
Seventh Brother asked weakly, "Then doctor, what do you mean..."
Lu Yuan pushed up his glasses and said lightly, "Let's saw it off. I'll replace it with another leg for you."
Seventh Brother: "......"
Seeing Seventh Brother's silence, Lu Yuan thought he was worried about the medical fees. He quickly added, "I'm truly sorry. Because of my medical negligence, you've suffered inconvenience."
"No matter if you decide to continue mending this broken leg or saw it off to replace it with a new prosthetic leg, I will provide the service for free."
"But if you want a biological prosthetic limb, there will be charges involved because the costs are different. Please understand."
After speaking, Lu Yuan bowed slightly to Seventh Brother.
In any case, medical accidents were still medical accidents. As a doctor who was highly responsible towards his patient, he had to try his best to remedy the situation since his work had been negligent.
Hearing Lu Yuan's words, a flash of inspiration struck Seventh Brother's mind. It was as if he had suddenly grabbed onto something.
Something that could help him successfully escape from this plight and flee to safety.
Seventh Brother looked at Lu Yuan earnestly and said, "Dr. Lu, I've always had high standards and been strict with myself!"
"I feel that since I'm getting a prosthetic limb for myself, I should either not get one, or get the best one!"
Clap!
Lu Yuan gave a loud snap of his fingers and praised Seventh Brother. "Not bad. I have the same opinion on this matter!"
Finally, another person willing to get a biological prosthetic limb. Lu Yuan was extremely excited!
Whether it brought in money or not was secondary.
The key thing was he could once again experience the thrill and joy in living autopsies, interspecies organ and limb transplants!
Immediately, Lu Yuan quickly said, "Wait for me! I'll get the nurse to bring in the catalogue. You can select the biological prosthetic limbs we currently have for installation."
At this point, it seemed Seventh Brother could no longer feel the pain in his leg. He looked at Lu Yuan gratefully and said, "Thank you for the trouble! You're a good doctor!"
Lu Yuan felt a little embarrassed since it was him who had smashed Seventh Brother's leg with a hammer in the first place.
He could only awkwardly reply, "It's my duty!"
Soon after, Liu Yuan brought the electronic catalogue over for Seventh Brother.
It showed all the biological limb prosthetics Lu Yuan's clinic could currently provide.
Man-eating Beast, single/double leg(s), 450,000 apiece;
Blood Demon Ape, single/double leg(s), 800,000 apiece;
Heterologous Centaur, single/double/quadruple legs, 980,000 apiece;
Howling Moon Wolf, single/double/quadruple legs, 1.2 million apiece;
Heterogeneous Night Owl, pair of legs (with claws), 3.8 million per pair...
There were over a hundred types of biological prosthetic limbs in the catalogue. Just paging through it from front to back would take quite a while.
But Seventh Brother only carefully browsed the first page before cursorily flipping through the rest.
Looking at the entries in the catalogue, even the best ability user hospitals in the X Region would not be able to provide such things!
Yet this small, inconspicuous clinic in a remote city was able to offer prosthetics from these creatures?
As Seventh Brother flipped through, he became even more certain that the doctor before him must be a fantasy syndrome patient!
However, that was just Seventh Brother's inner thoughts. On the surface, he revealed obvious disappointment.
Soon, he grumbled, "Dr. Lu, I...why don't we just forget it..."
Lu Yuan was slightly surprised.
Could it be that his wide variety of biological prosthetics still could not meet this patient's needs?
That was impossible!
Lu Yuan reassured Seventh Brother, "It's alright. Take your time to choose, there's no hurry. Since yours is a special case, we will definitely have a discount on the pricing."
Seventh Brother's face revealed exaggerated helplessness as he said, "Even with your discount Dr. Lu, I still can't afford these!"
"Why don't we just forget it... I won't continue treatment for my condition anymore..."
As Seventh Brother spoke, he tried dragging his broken leg to walk out.
But before Seventh Brother could get up from his chair, Lu Yuan pressed him back down.
When he felt Lu Yuan's hand slap down on his shoulder, Seventh Brother's body clearly shuddered a little.
Lu Yuan smiled at Seventh Brother and said slowly, "It's fine even if you don't have money. I have ways to help you settle it. Just choose whichever prosthetic limb you want."
Instantly, Seventh Brother felt extremely bitter inside.
He had wanted to use not having money as an excuse to leave this place where he didn't want to stay a second longer. But now it seemed...
He was destined to accompany this fantasy syndrome patient in playing out this whole act.
In anger, Seventh Brother started flipping forcefully through the electronic catalogue. Since they were playing make-believe, he decided to choose the most expensive option!
But—
Right after flipping just three to four pages, Seventh Brother was suddenly stunned still, as if struck by lightning. His body started trembling slightly.
When he first browsed through the catalogue just now, Seventh Brother did not notice it.
Now that he was scrutinizing the prices, he was naturally reading in greater detail.
On the fourth page of the catalogue, Seventh Brother saw something very interesting.
Blood Swamp Crocodile King, single/double/quadruped, 2.3 million/unit;
Steel Sabertooth Tiger, single/double/quadruped (with claws), 2.4 million/unit;
Blade-Arm Spider Queen, single/double/quadruped/hexapod/octopod (with blade-like claws), 2.8 million/unit;
Human Ability User, biped (containing ability user genes), ability coefficient 1.9, 600,000/pair...
Looking at other prosthetics, Seventh Brother would only think they were props fabricated by this delusional patient for his theatrics.
But when he saw this "Human Ability User legs"...
Seventh Brother suddenly felt that in some place of this strange clinic, there might really be preserved a pair of ability user's legs...
As soon as this idea came about, looking again at those other prosthetics, he sucked in a breath of cold air.
What if, all of these, were real...
In that moment, Seventh Brother felt a chill wind blowing, making his scalp tingle.
And it was just then that Lu Yuan spoke up, "How about this, why don't you come with me to the warehouse to take a look."
"After all, seeing things on a screen doesn't impart the same sense as seeing the actual objects."
With that, Lu Yuan got up and walked outside, while Seventh Brother sat motionless in his chair.
Soon after, Liu Yuan pushed a wheelchair over.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
