So, Seventh Brother almost grabbed the stack of documents in front of him to stamp his handprint.
But when it came time to pay the medical insurance premium, Seventh Brother's face turned red.
Wang Dong said nothing, immediately transferring 5,000 RMB in advance wages to Seventh Brother.
The Yun City medical insurance premium was 1,500 RMB per month. Once paid, it took effect. In the event of accidental injury requiring medical treatment, compensation of up to one thousand times could be paid.
It had to be said, insurance premiums in this world were indeed very expensive, more than just a little higher than the world where Lu Yuan came from before.
Because the world Lu Yuan came from before was a peaceful society, where injury and accidental death were low probability events.
But at this time, the world where Lu Yuan was located, human life was as cheap as a dog’s.
Insurance companies were not charities either. Although the terms stated that only accidental injuries would be compensated, there were always various ways for people to disguise intentional injuries as accidental.
Therefore, insurance premiums were exceptionally expensive, and most insurance items even had certain entry thresholds.
This was also why Seventh Brother was so surprised when he saw that Lu Yuan had arranged medical insurance for him.
With all contracts signed and 1,500 RMB paid, Seventh Brother was now a standard resident of Yun City.
Originally Seventh Brother's insurance would have had a one month waiting period before taking effect, but seeing the injury on Seventh Brother's leg, Wang Dong directly notified Yun City's medical insurance department.
From now on, all expenses incurred by Seventh Brother at medical institutions in the X-27 region could be reimbursed through Yun City's cloud insurance.
The moment he received the phone message that the insurance had taken effect, Seventh Brother could hardly believe his eyes.
He could not believe that someone like himself, who had always survived by stealing and robbing, someone who was seen as a street rat wherever he went, had now become a legal resident of a city.
When he looked at Lu Yuan again, Seventh Brother's expression had become much more complex.
"Now that you're a resident of Yun City, live well here."
"Don't go back to the precarious life you had before. Life is precious and not worth wasting."
"The world is already unstable enough. Those who have died should be grieved for, those who are alive should cherish their own lives even more. Don't you agree?"
Seventh Brother covered his face with his hands and slowly nodded, two streams of hot tears spilling out between his fingers.
Finally, Lu Yuan once again pushed the catalogue of bionic limbs in front of Seventh Brother.
Calculating his insurance coverage, Seventh Brother chose the blood demon ape’s leg prosthetics.
Original price was 1.6 million, but Lu Yuan gave him a discount at 1.5 million.
As for the insurance department’s assessment of the injury, this was generally based on a diagnosis certificate from the medical institution.
But as everyone knew, there was only one medical institution in Yun City, Lu Yuan’s clinic.
So the broken leg that Lu Yuan had hammered became accidental injury through fair and proper procedures.
Going through the whole process, the day was almost over again.
Wang Dong accompanied the entire time, personally running around on behalf of Lu Yuan and Seventh Brother.
In the evening, a fine rain began to fall from the sky.
Seventh Brother's surgery was scheduled for tomorrow. Wang Dong, who had been busy all day, also had to leave with his people.
Before leaving, in Lu Yuan's office, Lu Yuan chatted with Wang Dong for a while.
During this time Wang Dong subtly mentioned, what if Seventh Brother went back to his thieving ways after starting work at the Xia Group?
To this, Lu Yuan just smiled and softly said, "You have your own way of doing things, you don't need to change anything for my sake."
Wang Dong smiled back at Lu Yuan and toasted him with a cup of tea.
When Wang Dong got in the car to leave, Da Lei immediately said to him with a serious face, "Boss, something happened in Xifu City!"
At the same time, all the guards of the Xia Group in the other two cars also exploded.
Xiao Chen looked at his phone in shock, which showed the latest news from the X-27 region.
"The boss of Black Fire, he, he's dead..."
...
Xifu City.
The boss of the Black Fire mercenary group, Yang Long, was sprawled in a pool of blood. His eyes were wide open with fury, as if he could hardly believe this fact.
Half an hour ago, Yang Long, who had just returned from business in the western capital, came to his favorite noodle shop to eat with several bodyguards.
Yang Long had always maintained a low profile. Aside from a few core executives, almost no one in the Black Fire Group knew what Yang Long looked like.
Even so, at this noodle shop that Yang Long came to eat at almost every week, he was still ambushed.
The four guards with Yang Long were all ability users, two of whom already had ability coefficients over 1.0!
However, in the face of the two sudden attackers, Yang Long's guards who had ability coefficients less than 1.0 were almost instantly killed!
The remaining two fought desperately with one being killed and the other escaping outright.
The outcome of Yang Long's four guards dying and escaping was that one attacker was heavily wounded and the other lightly wounded.
At this time, Yang Long, sprawled in the pool of blood, was exerting all his strength to lift his neck. He just wanted to see who had killed him.
A slender figure stood in front of him and pulled down the black mask over his face.
It was Xiao Wu.
It was also the lightly wounded attacker.
Although Xiao Wu had once been a member of Black Fire, Yang Long of course would not recognize this underling of his.
He just felt the person in front of him looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
Xiao Wu stroked the wound on his body and slowly walked up to Yang Long, squatting down and softly saying, "Feel like I'm familiar but don't know who I am, right?"
"Normal, after all Boss Yang you are so busy..."
As he spoke, Xiao Wu took out a name badge, his work pass at Black Fire.
Instantly, the look of shock in Yang Long's eyes became even more intense!
"Im...impossible..."
"There's no way I wouldn't know if Black Fire had someone with your number..."
Xiao Wu's right arm slowly transformed into a sharp sickle-like blade. He used that blade arm to gently caress Yang Long's neck, and slowly said, "Boss Yang, I only became strong recently."
Yang Long suddenly thought of something. Abruptly, a mouthful of bloody foam sprayed from Yang Long's mouth. He blurted out indistinctly, "It's, it's, it's that! Yun, Yun City! Yun City!!"
A trace of a fierce smile appeared on Xiao Wu's face. He shouted sharply, "That's right, Boss Yang. Iron Hand went to cause trouble for Doctor Lu, so I killed the group executive who sent Iron Hand, who was your nephew."
"I thought the matter was over, but then you sent someone else to cause trouble for Doctor Lu again. So sorry..."
"To avoid causing any trouble for Doctor Lu, I can only, send you on your way!"
After speaking, Xiao Wu's blade arm slashed fiercely at Yang Long's neck!
Puchi!
A spray of blood shot high up, wetting half of Xiao Wu's body. Yang Long's head also rolled off his neck in an instant.
Wiping the blood from his face, Xiao Wu walked into the endless curtain of rain behind him.
Ahead, a man in a black cloak was leaning against the wall.
Seeing that person, a smile appeared on Xiao Wu's face. His voice pierced through the night rain curtain, reaching that person's ears, "Is he dead?!"
The man slowly shook his head.
"Hahaha!"
Xiao Wu let out a hearty laugh. Striding forward, he put his arm around the man and boldly said, "Youngest Brother! The boss of Black Fire was done in by our combined efforts!"
"There will be great turmoil in Xifu City in the future. Our opportunity is here!"
"We will establish a mercenary group, assassination group, intelligence group. We will expand and strengthen!"
...
Yun City, Eastern Suburbs Medical College.
The medical college in the rain curtain was pitch black again, but in the basement under Lu Yuan's clinic, Operating Room No. 2 was brightly lit.
That night, Lu Yuan still couldn't help it. He came to study the claws of the two dragon eagle kings.
Because he still had to operate on Seventh Brother tomorrow, Lu Yuan set an alarm for himself.
But after Lu Yuan extracted an even more concentrated primordial liquid from a dragon eagle king claw than his previous extraction, any alarm or surgery was completely thrown out of his mind.
That night, Lu Yuan was busy in the operating room again until the next day's sunrise.
The rain outside never stopped, and neither did Lu Yuan.
When dawn broke, Lu Yuan was excitedly looking at the two syringes filled with black liquid in his hands, muttering to himself: "I really didn't expect that even though they're the same species, the potency of the Dragon Eagle King's claws is so much stronger than that of ordinary dragon claws!"
Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuan took a deep breath and injected the two doses into his arms one after the other!

At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
