At the back of the crowd, a red Ferrari slowly pulled up to the roadside. Mo Cinian watched the dramatic scene with an amused look.
Lin Qingqiu, sitting in the passenger seat, followed his gaze.
“That man… is the one who treated my grandfather… that charlatan?” Lin Qingqiu had originally wanted to say ‘miracle doctor,’ but immediately changed her wording.
“Oh? You know him?” Mo Cinian pretended to know nothing.
“Mm! I met him once. He volunteered to save my grandfather back then, but in the end, he couldn’t save him…” Her tone dimmed as she spoke of her grandfather.
“Oh~ no wonder! What’s his name?”
Lin Qingqiu frowned slightly and shook her head. “I don’t know. I didn’t have a deep impression of him.”
Hearing her answer, Mo Cinian almost burst out laughing. Just a passerby?
“Come on, let’s go have a look, shall we?”
Lin Qingqiu tilted her head and gave Mo Cinian a confused glance but nodded anyway.
He opened the system panel.
[Protagonist: Ye Chen]
[Protagonist Level: 5 (Divine Doctor Descending the Mountain genre)]
[Personality: Bad-tempered, arrogant, stubborn, lustful~]
Only Level 5 for a Divine Doctor Descending the Mountain type?
“System, a Divine Doctor Descending the Mountain protagonist is only Level 5… Are you sure we won’t have some immortal emperor reincarnating into the city later? How am I supposed to survive that?”
Mo Cinian complained.
He was indeed powerful—not bragging—but even if he faced a protagonist with Captain America’s combat strength, he wouldn’t flinch. But if it was an immortal cultivator who could move mountains and fill seas?
Sorry, system, but you’re asking for death; he’d immediately defect to the cultivator’s side and maybe even be his lackey.
[Ding, impossible meow~]
[Based on the current Blue Star level, it’s impossible for that kind of protagonist to appear. Besides, there’s no cultivation system here~ Please rest assured, meow~]
“Good~ Otherwise, I really would’ve run for it!”
…
Ye Chen was getting anxious.
The moment he saw the blond punks, he almost collapsed mentally.
Why was it them again???
Normally, Ye Chen could have beaten them to the ground in minutes.
But the problem was… they were holding smartphones and live-streaming? Even though he was a bumpkin who had just come down from the mountains, he still knew what live-streaming was. If he beat someone up on live stream, it would blow up. He had just used his connections with the Fang family in the Magic City to get out of prison—he didn’t want to go back in.
Of course, these blond punks had been sent by Chen Jiu. They held their phones high, streaming live~~~ Even though the audience wasn’t massive, there were still about twenty thousand people watching.
“Damn, is this guy the reincarnation of a jinx? Isn’t this the fourth one? Who meets four people with sudden illnesses in a single morning?”
“No way, this must be staged. How could someone really be that unlucky in real life?”
“No, this is real. I work in the A City emergency department. I’ve been on six emergency runs this morning, and this guy was at three of them.”
“Terrifying. If you see him, stay away. A living jinx… and he still wants to treat people? Who would dare let him?”
…
Even though the protagonist was being ridiculed by the crowd, he still refused to give up his dream of showing off and saving lives.
“Think carefully. You have at most three minutes. If you don’t get proper treatment, you’ll be collecting your father’s body.”
Ye Chen’s words instantly ignited the middle-aged man, who had been wavering.
“I believe you~ Please save my father. I choose to trust you!”
Clearly, this middle-aged man was different from the others—decisive and firm.
Hearing this, Ye Chen’s lips curled up.
Finally, someone sensible!
He glanced at the man. Well-dressed, commanding presence—definitely someone important.
“Alright! Then I’ll reluctantly make a move!”
The blond punks panicked when they saw Ye Chen actually about to save someone.
This mission had been assigned by the boss’s boss’s boss. They absolutely couldn’t let Ye Chen succeed.
“Are you really sure you want him to treat your father? He has a record of killing people during treatment.”
“He’s just a charlatan, a scammer without a medical license~”
But the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and waved his hand firmly!
“Young man, feel free to treat him. I, Xu Tian, have never misjudged anyone in my life, and today won’t be the first time!”
His words caused a stir around them.
“Hiss… this guy is Xu Tian?”
“A City’s richest man? This is the first time I’ve seen him in person.”
“I’m a medical student too. If I had known, I would have come to see.”
Exclamations filled the air. Ye Chen sneered disdainfully.
This richest man’s favor… was as good as his!
“Good. First, get those noisy guys to shut up.”
Ye Chen also began to put on airs.
Xu Tian hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
With just a glance at the blond punks, they immediately shut their mouths, though they kept streaming silently.
…
Ye Chen didn’t think much about it. He pulled out a small cloth pouch filled with silver needles from his pocket.
The little miracle doctor was ready to show his ancestral needlework~
For a moment, he felt someone’s gaze and instinctively looked over.
The next second, his eyes widened.
“Miss… Miss Lin?”
Even from across the crowd, he recognized the girl he had been longing for.
Although she hadn’t visited him once while he was imprisoned, he had convinced himself she must have been too busy or mourning her grandfather’s death.
Lin Qingqiu also noticed Ye Chen’s gaze.
That naked, undisguised look made her feel repulsed.
Instinctively, she leaned closer to Mo Cinian and held onto his arm.
Only then did Ye Chen notice the man beside Lin Qingqiu—Mo Cinian!
The moment he saw Mo Cinian’s face, a wave of intense loathing surged in Ye Chen’s heart.
It was like… encountering a predestined arch-nemesis.
That feeling made him extremely uncomfortable.
What annoyed him even more was… this man was actually more handsome than he was??
He hated people who were more handsome than him the most.
