It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 348 [104] Equivalent Exchange is Equivalent to No Exchange
The age at which wisdom teeth erupt is generally 16-22 years old, so it is not surprising that Xiao Xia is growing wisdom teeth now.

Qin Jiandan activated the Xuanbing Qi, condensed a little ice on his fingertips, and fed it into Xiaoxia's mouth, letting her apply a cold compress to relieve the pain.

"It still hurts! The more I think about it, the more it hurts! Go find Doctor Li right away and help me think of a solution!"

Xiao Xia pulled Qin Jiandan's clothes and begged hard, tears already appearing on both sides of her eyes.

Doctor Li was a fugitive who had once worked for a company. Xiao Xia had probably heard this rumor before and thought that Doctor Li might have some secret recipe for curing toothache.

Qin Jiandan also had wisdom teeth and knew how uncomfortable it felt. Seeing that Xiao Xia was about to roll on the ground, he offered to help.

"Wait a moment, I'll call and ask if Doctor Li has returned to the clinic."

Ouyang Suixing "realized" in the dungeon and realized "time overwrite" and many new conjectures about Ring Stone City. Qin Jiandan also needs to talk to Doctor Li alone about these things.

Doctor Li's clinic is located in the northeast corner of the Night Dragon Club headquarters. It is open to the public and also opens to the public every other day and on a regular basis. Many people come to District 3 to see Doctor Li.

Today's weather forecast predicts acid rain, so not many people come to the clinic. Doctor Li is relatively free, and in addition to instructing a few apprentices, he also has time to drink tea in the tea room.

Qin Jiandan brought Xiao Xia to see a dentist, but she started whimpering in pain halfway through the journey. Qin Jiandan thought she walked too slowly, so he had to carry her over in his arms like a princess. It felt like a father was taking care of his child.

Doctor Li examined Xiao Xia and determined that the problem was not serious and did not require special treatment. However, Xiao Xia refused and insisted that Doctor Li prescribe two oral anesthetics for her.

The oral anesthetic was quite strong. Xiao Xia couldn't close her mouth after taking one. Her head tilted and saliva was dripping. Fortunately, the pain was temporarily relieved.

Qin Jiandan left Fengjian to help take care of (sarcastically) Xiao Xia, and took Doctor Li to the morgue at the other end of the clinic to prevent anyone from eavesdropping on their conversation.

Under the metal pipe air conditioner that covers the ceiling, a huge freezer for corpses occupies an entire wall. Each corpse compartment that can be opened from the side of the freezer has a clear serial number and freshness indicator.

Qin Jiandan suddenly remembered that when he accepted the brothers Zhang Daju and Zhang Xima, he also pulled a cart of patients with advanced phlogiston disease who were locked up and waiting to die in Zhu Shengzhi's territory, and asked Doctor Li to give them a try.

"Doctor Li, how are the treatments for those patients with phlogiston disease going?"

Doctor Li was still able to drink tea beside the body freezer, his glasses reflecting white light:

"Jian Dan, you have to understand that what's important is not the result, but the process of hard work."

"So all the patients died, right?"

Doctor Li wrapped his white coat tightly around himself because it was very cold here:
"There were 17 patients with phlogiston disease sent here at that time, all of them were in the advanced stage, and some died right after they were sent here. My goal was just to develop a vaccine for phlogiston disease, which is difficult to bring back to life."

"There are only three people left alive. One of them is in a very bad condition and may not survive today. The other two have some hope of improvement. Especially the old man surnamed Jiang, he can still stand and help take care of his fellow patients."

Qin Jiandan thought for a moment and said, "Is it that old man Jiang from the 'Ox and Horse Club'? He really likes to work like a slave for his children and grandchildren. He has three children of his own so he thinks it's enough to have phlogiston disease... He has a pretty strong vitality."

After chatting for a while and making sure that no one was coming over, Qin Jiandan told Ouyang Suixing about the "time overwrite" he learned from him, as well as Ouyang Suixing's new theory that "everything is an illusion".

"... Senior Brother thinks we should not tell Master yet, lest Master go astray. Doctor Li, what do you think?"

While Qin Jiandan was narrating, Doctor Li noticed a small wound on his right arm, which was left when Ouyang Suixing demonstrated "time overwrite".

"Don't get infected. Take care of it first."

Qin Jiandan took the handheld first aid device from Doctor Li and used this device, which was similar to a forehead thermometer and had a multi-function button, to spray hydrogen peroxide and other sterilizing liquids close to the surface of the wound.

"The president is indeed very stubborn in martial arts, so it's better not to tell him for now." After a pause, Doctor Li continued:

"Ouyang Suixing must have seen something we haven't seen in the endless desert outside Huanshi City. Black holes will differentiate into time devourers. After being defeated, time devourers may fragment and turn into low-energy black mist. Black mist likes to eat people, and will go through a long process to return to a high-energy state and revive as time devourers..."

"This coincides with some of my research. Some scholars believe that the black fog may be ultra-micro black holes, which not only have high-dimensional connections with each other, but also connect different times and spaces. The earth-shaking supernatural powers of Ringstone City are precisely due to the existence of these ultra-micro black holes."

"The black fog is formed by the aggregation of phlogiston ashes. Let's assume that the phlogiston crystals that have not turned into ashes are a 'hibernation stable state' between the 'low energy state' and the 'high energy state'... Because long-term contact with phlogiston crystals will not cause phlogiston disease."

"The black fog has a characteristic similar to that of humans, which I call 'fantasy absorption'. According to my research, people who are afraid of phlogiston disease are more likely to suffer from phlogiston disease under the same circumstances. Because we all live in a black hole, it is easy for 'fantasy to come true'."

"As for the humans eaten by the black fog, they will turn into Yin beasts and attack humans crazily. This is probably because of the strong fear and hatred that the victims burst out before they died. Overall, I quite agree with Ouyang Suixing's inference."

Doctor Li used a lot of academic language, which made Qin Jiandan's head hurt.

"Doctor Li, Ouyang Suixing said that everything in the black hole is fake. It's all the fantasy of the passengers on that spaceship a hundred years ago. Do you agree with this?"

Qin Jiandan felt melancholy. He felt that he and Linlin were both passengers on the spaceship. Doesn't that mean that everyone, including Mu Yue, was just imagining things? It was too sad that his wife was just an imaginary thing!
Doctor Li took a big sip of tea to moisten his throat, but because the temperature in the morgue was too low, the tea was almost cold:
"Hmm... Jiandan, you're worrying too much. We already know that black holes break the boundary between fantasy and reality. Since there is no boundary, then the fantasy from a hundred years ago is the law of physics inside the black hole, and it is an unbreakable reality! As long as you don't leave the black hole, the fantasy creation is as real as other creations in the Earth era!"

Qin Jiandan was relieved, and he discussed the possible application of "time rewriting" with Doctor Li. Doctor Li told Qin Jiandan to be careful in his attempts, so as not to trigger uncontrolled space-time turbulence and involve the president.

After saying goodbye to Doctor Li, Qin Jiandan found Old Man Jiang pushing a stretcher in the corridor of the clinic. The person on the stretcher had a white cloth covering his face and must have died.

Old Man Jiang sighed as he walked: "Old Xu, Old Xu, why didn't you wait until your sons came to see you? I have used the equipment given by Doctor Li to place you in a virtual cemetery. If they are willing in the future, they can still use light and shadow to recall you..."

Qin Jiandan was amazed at the tenacious vitality of old man Jiang. Old man Jiang pushed Old Xu into the morgue and told something to Doctor Li who was drinking tea, but Qin Jiandan did not listen carefully.

As he walked towards the tea room where Xiao Xia was, it was hard not to think of Xiao Xia's silly drooling face. Qin Jiandan suddenly found that in a ward, the maid Wangyou was helping to take care of the patient.

Linlin was worried that Wangyou was too bored staying in the monitoring room, so she allowed her to come out and relax freely. However, she was caught by Doctor Li, who asked her to help take care of the old ladies suffering from neurological tremor syndrome.

This disease is not a terminal illness, but it is also very troublesome. It manifests as uncontrolled tremors of the body's muscles, especially when the mind is highly concentrated or emotionally excited. When an attack occurs, if there is someone nearby who can talk patiently or help massage the muscles, it can help alleviate the problem.

The automatic door of the ward was not closed. Wangyou had already settled several patients and was cleaning the cobwebs around the door lintel with a small handheld vacuum brush.

Arms raised high, waist arched, if it was just cleaning, it seemed unnecessary to pose in such an aesthetically pleasing posture. In Qin Jiandan's impression, Wangyou and her sisters' black and white maid outfits had large and heavy skirts, and were not designed to show curves. But at this moment, Wangyou seemed to have turned the material of the maid outfit into silk gauze, into white cream on dark chocolate, emphasizing the plump flesh in it.

Was it an illusion? After Wangyou glanced in my direction, his posture seemed to become more artificial?

Looking at the maid's pretty back, Qin Jiandan felt something was "coming".

Qin Jiandan was very ashamed. He had clearly promised that he would not bully Wangyou again, but he was so easily tempted by her. He felt really sorry for the "No Masturbation Card" given by Grandma Qianxing, which was still lying in the chest pocket of his vest.

On a whim, Qin Jiandan used "time overwrite" on Wangyou's back!
Eh? I failed! ?

This time, the time overwrite should be to overwrite the fact that I "felt something", and then overwrite Wangyou's "no feeling"! Why do I still "feel something" when I clearly have the confirmation that the overwrite was successful? What went wrong?
Wangyou finally stopped ignoring Qin Jiandan who was not far behind her. After cleaning up the few spider webs, she walked up to Qin Jiandan and passed by him like a proud pony:

"Young Master, are you following me? Or are you so hungry that you won't even let go of the old lady here?"

Wangyou had a sharp tongue, but Qin Jiandan caught a glimpse of a deliberately hidden heat in the maid's eyes.

Ah! Could it be that Wangyou did this on purpose for me to see? My time rewrite did not fail at all, it's just that she also felt it, so there is no difference after the two of us swapped!
Oh my, you are not a good kid if you say one thing and mean another... You keep saying that you sacrificed for your sisters, but you got greedy and pestered me? Why should I be the bad guy who satisfies your needs? I want to see how long you can keep pretending!
