Chapter 90: Director, We Wronged You
Good news, good news!
The Konoha Hospital has successfully developed the "Cure-All" potion—one bottle per course, instant results from a single bottle!
Whether you have a cold, a fever, or feel weak all over, just drink one bottle and you'll see immediate effects, reborn on the spot!
Next, let's turn to the report brought to us by the front-line reporters at the Cure-All potion launch event:
In front of the cameras, three snow-white hospital beds were boldly placed right outside the hospital entrance. The bald director walked among them with a radiant smile, while Li Jiexuan lay obediently on the last bed.
"Director Yamada, we've heard that you've developed a miraculous potion that can cure all illnesses. Is this information true?"
Facing the reporters, the bald director wore a righteous expression and nodded slightly. "That information is correct. Today's event is precisely the Cure-All launch conference!"
Hearing this, another reporter hurriedly asked, "Is this Cure-All potion really real? It sounds a bit exaggerated!"
Despite the skepticism, the bald director remained calm and smiled as he nodded. "As the saying goes, truth comes from experimentation. Next, we will demonstrate the effects of Cure-All to all the villagers of Konoha!"
"Please watch closely!"
With that, the bald director maintained his smile and turned to leave.
Moments later, he arrived beside Li Jiexuan's bed and bent down as if checking on the patient. "Brother Li, everything is proceeding according to plan…"
"Begin."
Li Jiexuan nodded lightly…
"Fellow villagers, the reason we've all gathered here today is to witness the effects of Cure-All!"
Smiling, the bald director took three bottles of different-colored potions from an apple-cheeked, adorable nurse—light green, green, and pale red!
"These three potions are the standard edition, deluxe edition, and supreme edition of Cure-All." The bald director gestured with a smile. "Next, let us see their effects!"
The camera closely followed the bald director as he moved to the first hospital bed…
"This patient has a severe fever and a constantly runny nose!"
The camera very considerately gave a close-up of the runny nose. The bald director nodded repeatedly—clearly, that earlier red envelope hadn't been wasted. "Now, administer our standard edition Cure-All!"
"Gulp, gulp…"
The first patient quickly drank down the potion…
Then, something miraculous happened. The patient immediately got off the bed—his head no longer hurt, his back no longer ached, and his nose stopped running!
This was simply incredible!
"How much does this medicine cost?"
The patient was astonished and hurriedly asked…
The bald director smiled faintly and shook his head. "Curing illnesses and saving lives is our duty. Talking about money would be too distant…"
"What a great doctor!" "He's practically an angel!" "This is the future of Konoha's medical care!"
In an instant, praise flew toward the bald director like snowflakes.
"It's nothing—this is what I should be doing!"
As he spoke, the bald director clasped his hands behind his back and walked toward the second bed.
"This patient suffers from extreme fatigue, leading to widespread muscle weakness. He's been bedridden for several days already. If nothing unexpected happens, he'd need at least another month of recuperation!"
Smiling, the bald director took out the green potion and poured it into the patient's mouth. "But if he drinks our deluxe edition of Cure-All…"
"Gulp, gulp…"
After the green potion went down, the once-sick man stood up, healthy and robust!
"Bring on the dumbbells!"
The patient who had just been weak moments ago grabbed the dumbbells and began lifting them up and down, moving with astonishing speed.
"A miracle!" "Unbelievable!"
"I can keep writing again!"
The excited patient tossed aside the dumbbells and eagerly grabbed a keyboard. "How much does this bottle cost? No matter how expensive it is, I'll write to pay you back!"
Hearing this, the bald director gave a profound grin. "Money isn't important. What matters is the heart to cure illnesses and save lives!"
"Do you think we developed Cure-All to make money?!"
The bald director raised three fingers in anguish. "Just to develop Cure-All, we spent thirty million ryō!"
"On top of that, even the cheapest bottle of Cure-All costs ten thousand ryō just in production costs!"
The bald director turned around in grief. His once-plump figure seemed to shrink by several degrees, and a faint sorrowful heaviness filled the air, making noses sting…
At that moment, all the resentment Konoha's people had harbored for years toward the high cost of medical care completely dissipated, replaced by boundless guilt.
"So doctors are this great!" "They're not in it for money—just to cure people and save lives!"
"Director, we wronged you!"
