Chapter 9 - 9: Therapeutic Skills? Does causing diarrhea count?
Following the road signs, Zheng Cheng quickly arrived at Zone A.
At first glance, all you could see were temporary treatment rooms of various sizes spread out everywhere.
The walls were all made of white glass, offering a hazy view of the silhouettes inside.
On the electronic banner at the entrance, there were rows of electronic script.
“Senior Priest available. Skilled in two healing techniques. Specializes in treating external injuries and muscular swelling. Each treatment costs 2 silver coins.”
“A level 30 priest stationed here! Specialist in wound healing and detoxification, hurry in if interested!”
“Level 15 sister with great healing skills specializes in massage and detoxification. Each treatment costs 1 silver coin~~~”
Upon seeing this, Zheng Cheng’s mouth twitched slightly.
Are these… the Professionists?
This was somewhat different than what he’d heard from the outside world.
As he walked around, he noticed a few things.
Most of the priests that could rent temporary treatment rooms here were below level 30.
As for the priests above level 30, they were all recruited by large corporations, strong forces, or nations.
They were all tasked with developing new areas, running instances, or resisting the Different Races at the boundary.
They mostly specialized in healing wounds, detoxification, and clearing obstacles.
Most of the patients coming and going were Professionists.
These Professionists had all gotten injured in the wild or in instances and couldn’t bear to use their medication.
After returning to Chang’an City, they rushed to the Priest Guild for treatment immediately.
Aside from that, there were a small number of ordinary people.
Of course, all ordinary people who could come here were influential and powerful.
Aside from seeking treatment, they also had plans to curry favor and ingratiate themselves.
After all,
Even the most common Professionist was far more highly regarded in society than a rich person!
Soon, Zheng Cheng arrived at Temporary Treatment Room A58.
When he opened the door, the room was pristine and white.
The room was furnished with a table, chairs, and a computer, as well as two stools and a simple bed.
A typical treatment room.
Looking back, he saw a sign by the treatment room A57 next door that read “Lu Mengmeng’s Medical Clinic”.
On its electronic screen was a row of red text.
“Level 12 Senior Priest, proficient in micro-light therapy, each treatment costs 10 coppers or the equivalent in paper money…”
“A Level 12 is considered a senior Priest?”
Zheng Cheng found this a bit strange. He put down his bag on the table, pulled out a stool and sat down.
He then turned on the computer and began to set up his own electronic banner.
Just then, a small silhouette appeared at the door, peeking cautiously inside.
Zheng Cheng didn’t pay it any mind and quickly finished setting up his screen.
“Former traditional Chinese medicine expert now a Priest, proficient in curing constipation caused by all sorts of reasons, ensure you to be relieved…”
With his banner set, he stood up and casually opened the door.
“Ouch…”
The small silhouette that was peeking in from outside nearly stumbled into Zheng Cheng’s arms.
“Are you okay…”
Lowering his gaze, he realised it was a beautiful girl in a white Priest robe with gold rimming around her clothes.
She had light blond curly hair, and her skin was as tender as a calf’s.
Her facial features had the soft curvature of an oriental person, but her pupils were light blue, like the ocean, possessing a deadly allure.
What attracted Zheng Cheng the most was her ample bosom.
He almost couldn’t even see his own toes, let alone hers.
The mixed-race little beauty hastily stood upright, took a couple of steps back and eyed Zheng Cheng warily.
“You… you’re a Priest too?”
Her voice sounded crisp and carried a unique melody.
“Yes, I just awakened as a Priest Professionist. Is there something you need?”
The mixed-race little beauty was surprised. “Just awakened Professionist? How come you ended up here? Did you awaken a genuine healing technique?”
Zheng Cheng found it amusing and said, “What do you mean by ‘genuine healing technique’? Is there such a thing as fake healing techniques?”
“I warn you, I’ve been here a long time, you can’t steal my business, understand?” The mixed-race little beauty glared at Zheng Cheng, her seriousness apparent. “Alright… so, for every customer, I treat two people, and then you can treat one, understand?”
“If… if not, I…I’ll…”
With that, the mixed-race little beauty even raised her tiny fist, glaring menacingly at Zheng Cheng.
Zheng Cheng chuckled, “Or else what will you do?”
“I-I’m going to hit you~!”
The mixed-race beauty displayed her small canine teeth, “I-I awakened a year before you, so technically you should respect me as your senior, be careful~”
“Hmph!”
With that, the beautiful mixed-race girl strutted her nose and turned to return to her own treatment room.
“Interesting…”
Zheng Cheng pinched his nose, “A temperamental little priest who is supposedly my senior?”
“Though her face might seem young, her other parts should be mature~”
Dismissing this matter aside, Zheng Cheng first took a photo of the entrance to his shop.
He then went back to his seat and opened his phone.
Chang’an City First Hospital Colo-Rectal Consultation Group!
This is the chat group where he just joined yesterday, along with more than twenty other groups of different sizes.
All of them are groups related to anorectal, constipation, and bowel habits.
The people here could all be Zheng Cheng’s prospective clients.
He quickly typed, “My family, I have finally found an old Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner who specializes in treating constipation and he’s a professional!”
As soon as the message was sent out, responses came quickly.
“A professional? Really?”
“Can a professional treat constipation?”
“Is it real or fake? Which professionist can treat this kind of thing?”
“It’s real!”
Zheng Cheng immediately sent a photo.
“Look, is this photo I just took at the Priest Guild in Chang’An City false?”
“Damn! A traditional Chinese medicine practitioner turned priest, specializing in treating all kinds of constipation, making you feel relieved…”
“Guys, I’m going to try first. I haven’t been able to go for almost half a month. Medication is completely ineffective…”
Then he exited the first hospital group happily and entered another group.
Cast a wide net, and there’s an abundance of fish.
As long as he could get one, the news would spread from one to ten and a hundred, soon covering the whole Chang’an City.
At that time, the good news for constipation patients could definitely reach each patient suffering from constipation.
And he, on the other hand, would be able to obtain a tremendous amount of skill experience!
Thinking of this, Zheng Cheng couldn’t help but smirk a little.
He turned around to open his bag and took out a white coat.
Complete with hat and mask.
If he’s going to pretend, he’ll make it look more convincing.
While Zheng Cheng was preparing, over at the medical center next door, Lu Mengmeng also opened a group chat.
Yet her group chat was an internal one held by the entire Priest’s Guild temporary treatment department.
Little Tangerine: “@Mengmeng, do you know what the new handsome guy does?”
Little Deer Mengmeng: “He’s a newly transferred priest, and he does look quite handsome.”
Little Angel: A newly transferred male priest? My god, he’s our first male healer! I wonder if his healing volume is sufficient…”
Little Tangerine: “You’re going to kill me, who cares about a male priest’s healing volume, as long as his physique is good!”
Goddess of Light: “A new male priest who dares to open a clinic here must have a high star rating, perhaps seven or eight. His beginner awakening skills and healing abilities could be very strong!”
Goddess of Light: “@Mengmeng, go and see what’s written on his door, find out which skills he’s good at?”
“Oh.”
The Goddess of Light is a big shot in their Priest’s Guild who is reported to be at Level LV50!
And her professional grade is a seven-star Holy Light priest.
She’s very prestigious in the whole Priest’s Guild.
And she’s the one whom Mengmeng admires the most.
Lu Mengmeng obediently opened the door and ran next door.
She looked up, her delicate little face first stiffened, then was filled with doubt, shock and incredulity.
She took a trembling photo and posted it into the group chat.
“Let me see, how big is the healing output of this new handsome guy!”
“I… I’m going!”
“Traditional Chinese medicine? Treats constipation?”
“What about the healing skills… ”
“What the hell?!”
