Chapter 38: Blood poisoning? Am I hopeless?

It was almost mealtime when another zombie entered the A101 Clinic.

Si Yan decided to see this patient before going to eat.

“Where does it hurt?”

Si Yan looked at the zombie.

“Dr. Si, recently I’ve been in pain all over, but I can’t find the exact location. Can you tell me what the problem is?”

The zombie placed his hand on the table.

Si Yan diagnosed him carefully, then frowned: “You have blood poisoning!”

Blood poisoning?

Hearing this, the zombie’s face immediately turned green!

Blood poisoning, for a zombie, is a terminal illness!

It’s like cancer for humans!

A zombie’s blood is generally black.

However, after contracting blood poisoning, a zombie’s blood will turn red, just like a human’s!

“Ah? Another doctor said the same thing before, but I didn’t believe it and decided to get a second opinion.”

The zombie scratched his rotting chest in frustration: “What should I do? Dr. Si, give me some advice!”

Even the zombie was terrified at this moment!

“Blood poisoning?”

Ella, who had been silent, frowned when she heard of this illness.

This was a genuine terminal illness!

“Dr. Si, this kind of illness requires immediate hospitalization; that way, he might still live for a while.”

Ella suggested.

Si Yan, however, was unfazed. After glancing at the zombie, he waved his hand at him.

“Alright, give me your hand.”

The zombie was a bit confused but still put his hand down on the table with a “thud.”

“Oops, sorry, my hand is too heavy!”

The zombie quickly apologized.

Si Yan held the zombie’s hand, pondered for a moment, and then shook his head.

The zombie noticed Si Yan’s action and couldn’t help but be startled!

“Dr. Si. Am I beyond saving???”

The zombie’s voice was trembling at this point!

He was a zombie after all, and yet he was this scared!

Ella also tacitly accepted the zombie’s death sentence; after all, there was indeed no cure for blood poisoning.

Si Yan shook his head, pondered for a moment, and then directly took out an acupuncture needle and plunged it completely into the zombie’s right hand.

This minor pain was nothing to a zombie.

Subsequently, Si Yan successively inserted nearly twenty more needles into the zombie’s right hand and chest.

“Don’t move!”

The zombie had wanted to move his body, as so many needles made him feel a bit itchy.

However, Si Yan stopped him in time.

“Huh?”

The zombie only uttered this one word.

Then, the zombie felt a small warm current at the needle points, gradually spreading throughout his body along his blood vessels.

The zombie had never experienced this feeling before!

“It feels so comfortable, my whole body is warm!”

After ten minutes, the zombie couldn’t help but say.

“Go sit over there for a while. Come back to me in an hour.”

Si Yan said indifferently.

“Okay, okay, okay!”

The zombie finished speaking, pushed the door open, and left.

Meanwhile, Si Yan continued to see other patients.

An hour later.

“Boom!!!”

With a loud bang, the door of the A101 Clinic was suddenly pushed open!

The zombie walked in, looking excited.

“Dr. Si! Dr. Si! My blood is actually starting to turn black!”

The zombie excitedly pointed to the blood on the rotting flesh of his arm.

“Hmm, I’ll prescribe you some medicine, and then you can continue acupuncture tomorrow.”

Si Yan said.

“Okay, okay, okay! How much?”

The zombie asked.

“Hmm, acupuncture is 3000 ghost coins, the prescription is 5000 ghost coins, for a total of 10000 ghost coins!”

Si Yan calculated and said seriously.

“Huh? Why is it 2000 ghost coins more?”

The zombie counted on his fingers; it seemed incorrect.

“You idiot! You broke my clinic door!”

Si Yan roared.

“Oh, oh, oh!!! Sorry! I’ll give you an extra 1000 ghost coins! My bad!”

The zombie was startled by Si Yan’s roar. He turned his head and saw that the clinic door had indeed been broken by him!

The doorknob was gone, and the entire door was hanging to one side.

“Thank you, Dr. Si! Thank you, Dr. Si! Sorry, sorry!”

The zombie apologized while propping up the door and then scurried away.

Behind Si Yan, Ella was stunned!

Ella had never expected that Si Yan would be able to cure blood poisoning!

This was a terminal illness!

“Ding! You have completed a terminal illness cure! You have gained 50 Career Charm Points, 15% Medical Skill, and 10% Authority!”

“Current equipped profession: Ghost Doctor”

“Professional standard: Proficient”

“Doctor’s Authority: 60%”

“Medical Skill: 65%”

“Ding! Additional rewards: Ghost Doctor comes with professions: Psychiatrist, Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine! Ghost Doctor professional skill: Return of Spring!”

After the system’s voice sounded, a pile of rewards appeared!

Not bad!

Now, completing a high-difficulty treatment yielded less Medical Skill and Career Charm Points than before.

Therefore, Si Yan’s next step was to check out the inpatient department.

Performing high-difficulty surgeries was still very difficult in the current clinic setting.

From yesterday until now, there had only been one blood poisoning patient during his clinic hours.

However, the inpatient department was different.

The Gui Creatures who met the inpatient criteria suffered from illnesses that couldn’t be resolved quickly.

If Si Yan wanted to transfer there, it probably wouldn’t be difficult.

Blood Moon Hospital would likely be very willing.

“Hmm? Why aren’t you continuing?”

Si Yan noticed Ella had stopped her actions and was a bit puzzled.

“Uh… sorry, I got distracted ~”

Ella said with a smile.

This expression was the same as when she killed the Ghoul Chef in the Yin Spring Inn!

However, Ella didn’t mean it that way.

At this moment, Ella was still immersed in the blood poisoning incident.

She never expected that Si Yan, a human, could achieve such great results with just simple acupuncture for this terminal illness.

If he performed acupuncture a few more times, wouldn’t he be completely cured?

Seeing Ella’s distracted look, Si Yan said, “No need for the massage anymore. You go eat first; I’ll rest for a bit.”

“Dr. Si, are you cooking for yourself now?”

Ella looked at Si Yan with a smile.

“No, I’m going to eat at the cafeteria.”

Si Yan replied.

“Oh? Next time you cook, can I join you and try that Tremella soup?”

Ella’s tone was somewhat pleading; she was definitely a complete foodie.

Si Yan nodded.

Looking at the departing Ella, Si Yan couldn’t help but frown.

He hadn’t expected to encounter Ella again in an instance of the same difficulty level.

It seemed that these Gui Creatures could theoretically travel between different horror instances.

Then, Virginia and Oliver from the Vampire Castle could theoretically also come here.

Humans needed an invitation letter from each horror instance to travel between them.

As for Gui Creatures, it seemed to be related to their strength.

While Si Yan was pondering these questions, the clinic door opened.

Ella walked in, carrying two bento boxes.
