Chapter 42 - The Desolate Hospital's Old Director

Liu Peng was furious, almost to death.

He could only get up from the ground alone, like a defeated stray dog.

As soon as he stood up, blood from his nose and mouth began to flow freely, covering him in blood and making him look miserable.

Even Yaya, standing nearby, silently took two steps back.

"Xiao Liu, are you okay? I'll call 120 for you. I'll cover the medical expenses for now, hehe."

"Cover it?" Liu Peng stopped, turned around, and glared viciously at Yaya. "I'll make you lose everything you own, and that idiot will go to jail! Just wait! When you're broke, I'll wait for you to come kneel and beg me!"

Right after he said that—

Rapid footsteps echoed from the hallway.

Hearing such swift footsteps, Liu Peng's heart skipped a beat.

When he looked back—

He saw Lin Han, who had casually washed his hands, now sprinting toward him at full speed!

With long strides, he moved incredibly fast!

And then—he launched a flying kick straight into Liu Peng's face!

Bang!

That kick knocked Liu Peng to the ground again!

And this time, he passed out!

"I could hear this guy cursing me from far away!"

"Mr. Lin, I think this is getting serious now..."

Liu Peng's earlier threats already hinted at a potential lawsuit.

Now that his brain might be injured, couldn't this really cost them everything?

But—

Lin Han replied casually, "Don't worry. I'll handle this myself."

"What do you plan to do? Don't do anything foolish, Lin Han. It's not worth it for something like this!" Yaya became anxious.

Seeing her worried expression, Lin Han smiled slightly.

He said, "Relax. It's totally safe. And he won't be causing any more trouble in the future."

With that—

Lin Han hoisted Liu Peng onto his shoulder and left through the back door of the tavern.

He ran to the roadside and flagged down a taxi.

"Driver, Yancheng Peace Hospital."

The taxi driver looked in the rearview mirror and saw Liu Peng's bloody, dazed face.

He immediately asked, "What happened to you guys?"

"This is my brother. He got beat up in a fight."

"Alright, hold on tight. But I'd recommend going to First Hospital—they're more advanced with trauma cases. I've taken a lot of people there. Peace Hospital mainly treats mental health stuff."

"Let's go to Peace Hospital. It's cheaper. We don't have much money."

"Okay then, hold tight!"

The driver sped off.

He got them to the front of Peace Hospital in record time.

Yancheng Peace Hospital was the oldest private hospital in the city. Due to lack of funding, it had fallen into disrepair. Compared to other hospitals, it looked like an abandoned building.

The outpatient department lights flickered constantly.

Lin Han searched Liu Peng's pockets, found his wallet, and gave the driver a 100 yuan tip.

Then he carried Liu Peng straight into Peace Hospital.

The reason Lin Han knew so much about this place was because the Peace Hospital setting was created by one of his teammates.

The hospital director was an old man in his seventies.

The head doctor, Liu Qingwan, was a workaholic.

These two were extremely important NPCs!

The elderly director acted as an "evil cleansing" NPC in the game.

While Director Liu Qingwan was actually a hidden "bounty hunter" NPC!

Both of them used low-grade, outdated methods to treat patients when paid with regular money.

The fees were cheap, but the treatment... wasn't much better than doing nothing.

However, if they were paid with Authority Points—

They would unlock their true powers!

With enough Authority Points, they could handle over 98% of all matters within the city!

That's the true power of these two NPCs!

Lin Han carried the semi-conscious Liu Peng into Peace Hospital.

The huge hospital lobby didn't even have a single receptionist on duty!

Helplessly,

He shouted into the empty hall: "Director! Chief! Someone come out, it's time to open up!"

Shouting about "opening up" in a hospital—either you're mentally ill or you really know the system!

Soon after,

An elderly man in his seventies, followed by a tall, domineering woman in a white lab coat, came down via elevator.

They were the hospital director and the chief physician.

"Let me see what kind of trouble he got into to end up like this," the old man said slowly, adjusting his glasses.

He showed no concern at all about the patient's condition.

Lin Han couldn't be bothered with small talk.

He said directly, "10 Authority Points. Handle this guy for me."

10 Authority Points!!

The old man leapt in place and landed beside Lin Han with shocking agility.

His physical ability surpassed that of national athletes!

With a gleeful face, the old man looked at Lin Han. "Such generosity from an esteemed guest! So… would you like to sign up for a membership card? Just 30 Authority Points a month—covers 30 big or small incidents! And today's service is free!"

"Damn!"

"So, signing up or not?"

"Do I look like someone who causes trouble every day?... Fine, I'll do it!"

Hearing Lin Han agree, the director excitedly projected a holographic screen. "Come, come! As the first official member of our hospital, you'll also receive three gifts!"

Lin Han didn't rush to ask about the gifts.

He placed his hand on the holographic screen for verification, deducting 30 Authority Points from his account.

The screen shifted and displayed Lin Han's profile.

[Member: Lin Han]

[Membership Level: Lv1]

[Remaining Uses: 30/30]

A small photo of him was also shown beside it.

"That's it?"

"That's it!"

The old director happily closed the hologram and said to Lin Han, "Come, esteemed member Lin Han, here are your three complimentary gifts!"

With a magician-like flourish, the director pulled out three items from behind his back.

One was a cheap, mass-produced rice cooker.

One was a phone.

And one was a voucher.

The rice cooker was clearly junk, so Lin Han took the phone and voucher.

The director explained, "This phone—you can use it to call me directly in the future. I'll send someone over to handle things. As a member, you shouldn't have to do everything yourself, right? Haha!"

Lin Han nodded. That was actually pretty useful.

Then,

He looked at the voucher.

It had a bold line written on it: Yancheng Bath & Massage Center – Limited Time Free Pass!

"What the hell!"

"So excited? Young man, looking forward to it? Technician No. 28 there is fantastic!"

"Uh… is this place even legit?"

"Of course it is! Definitely legit! Look at me—do I seem like the sleazy type?"

"No, you seem like a true gentleman—an immortal aura, righteous energy radiating from you!"

"Sharp eyes, very sharp!"

"And this guy…"

"Don't worry!" the director gave a meaningful glance to Chief Liu Qingwan. "Tomorrow he'll wake up at home safe and sound, with no memory of today at all. Oh—and if you want to spice things up, just let me know anytime!"
