Civilization Paradise

Chapter 3 Review
Upon hearing Xiao Ning's words, the aged face of the City Lord of Qianluo twitched slightly.

At this moment, Qianying, who was standing to the side, also frowned slightly and spoke up.

"I didn't expect that the two cities would not choose the elite route, but instead adopt a strategy of opening up to all citizens. The advantages and disadvantages of doing so are also very obvious. The advantage is that there is a lot of people and great power, which produces abundant resources and will also continuously produce experts. However, the disadvantages are not to be underestimated. It is very difficult to manage if everyone is allowed to enter."

"As expected of the Fourth Young Master, his analysis makes a lot of sense."

Xiao Ning praised Qian Ying generously.

"Thank you for the compliment, Uncle Xiao. I was just expressing my personal opinion."

Qianying was very humble and did not become complacent because of the praise.

At this moment, Xiao Ning looked at City Lord Qianluo and respectfully asked for instructions.

"Lord City Lord, what should we do next?"

The Lord of Qianluo City was silent for a few seconds before asking in a hoarse voice.

"Qianying, if you were in her shoes, what would you do?"

“Father, since they’ve fully opened up, we can follow suit. Although full opening is difficult to control, the advantages are obvious. We can collect a 20% transaction tax, and we can use our money to collect all the output. As for the money, how much we want is entirely up to you!”

"Wonderful, wonderful! Fourth Young Master is indeed exceptionally talented!"

Xiao Ning strongly agreed with Qian Ying's suggestion.

After listening, the Lord of Qianluo City nodded slightly and said wearily.

"Qianying, since your Uncle Xiao has praised it, then let's do it this way. I'm a little tired, you may all leave!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Ning and Qian Ying respectfully withdrew and then closed the door again.

In the dimly lit room, only Lord Qianluo sat quietly.

Department of Genetics, First Central Hospital of Shancheng Mountain.

"Whoo~"

Long Ming arrived at the waiting hall slightly out of breath and saw a long line of patients waiting outside Clinic Room 1.

As for the other consultation rooms, there were only a handful of patients waiting.

Long Ming was also a little helpless. The reputation of Dr. Cheng, whom he had been referring to, was growing, and the number of people seeking his treatment was increasing day by day.

With so many people in line, I don't know how long I'll have to wait. Plus, there's the check-up; I might not even get to see someone before closing time, and then I'll have to wait until the next day.

However, he applied for a limited time, and it would be troublesome if he couldn't finish reading it within the limited time.

However, Long Ming had no choice but to go to the reporting machine to get a number.

The result was shocking; there were over 120 people in the front row. My heart sank.

He then reluctantly walked to the back of the line and waited patiently.

At this moment, a girl dressed in a white doctor's coat, with delicate features, arched eyebrows, bright eyes, long black hair tied up with a white hairpin, and a few strands of hair hanging down her cheeks, pushed open the door of clinic number 1 and walked out.

She walked along the long queue, seemingly searching for something.

The girl quickly reached the end of the line and saw Long Ming queuing up in front of her. She asked him with some uncertainty.

"Hello, are you Mr. Long Ming?"

"Yes, is there something you need?"

Long Ming looked at the girl wearing a name tag that read "Luanna, Intern Physician" and asked her with a puzzled expression.

"Mr. Long, please come with me."

Luanna said to Long Ming.

"Ok."

Long Ming was also surprised to hear what Dr. Luanna said, but he still quickly responded.

Luanna then led Long Ming through the long queue to the door of clinic number 1.

However, just as she was about to lead Long Ming inside, a man at the front of the line raised an eyebrow and reached out to stop Long Ming and Luanna.

Long Ming turned his head and saw that the person blocking their way was a man wearing a dark gray shirt, with light brown curly hair, a retro mechanical watch on his wrist, and an arrogant expression.

The man in front of her tossed his hair and spoke in an annoyed tone.

"Hey, what are you doing? Cutting in line? Don't tell me he has a reservation or something. I have a reservation too, and I'm the highest VIP level. I'm being nice by not cutting in line for others, and someone actually cuts in line for me. That's going too far!"

Upon hearing this, Luna quickly offered an apologetic explanation.

"I'm sorry, sir. I'm just a new intern and I don't know what's going on. I was just bringing this gentleman in as instructed by Dr. Cheng. Please understand."

Upon hearing Luanna's explanation, Han Wen looked Long Ming up and down in disbelief. Just who was this kid to have Dr. Cheng give him special treatment? Dr. Cheng was, after all, the most outstanding expert in genetics in the mountain city.

His eyes darted around. He knew he still had to see a doctor later, and if he offended Dr. Cheng and made him unhappy, it would be a loss. So he changed his attitude completely and said...

"I see, then you go in."

"Thank you."

Luanna breathed a slight sigh of relief and led Long Ming inside.

At this moment, the people queuing behind Han Wen watched this scene and whispered among themselves.

"Who is that young man?"

"I don't know!"

"That's really amazing! This is the first time I've ever seen someone get in through connections with Dr. Cheng."

"But I'm a little puzzled. The clothes that guy was wearing were very cheap. He looked like a commoner."

"I noticed that too, but I don't quite understand it."

Inside consultation room number 1.

An octogenarian female doctor, wearing a white coat, with gray hair, reading glasses, and a kind face, sat at her desk reviewing medical records.

"Dr. Cheng."

Long Ming greeted him politely.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yue looked up, adjusted her reading glasses, glanced at Long Ming, and said kindly.

"Mr. Long Ming, you've come for a follow-up appointment?"

"Yes, you've finished the medicine you were prescribed last time, and I need to get some more."

"Okay, have a follow-up check-up first, and I'll prescribe your medication again based on the results."

"it is good."

Long Ming nodded slightly.

"Mr. Long Ming, over here!"

Luanna then led Long Ming to the examination room next door.

After a long while, Long Ming returned from the examination room to the consultation room to wait.

A short while later, Luanna came in with the report and handed it to Dr. Cheng.

Long Ming looked at Dr. Cheng, who was carefully examining the report. Seeing her tense face, he couldn't help but feel uneasy. Could it be that the situation had worsened again?

However, just when Long Ming was extremely uneasy, Cheng Yue smiled and said something.

"Good, it's well controlled. You just need to continue taking the medication to maintain it."

Upon hearing Dr. Cheng's words, Long Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

He spent most of the money from selling his house on major medical treatments, and if his condition worsens again, he really won't be able to afford that much money.

However, Long Ming did not let his joy cloud his judgment, but instead asked with some doubt.

"Dr. Cheng, now that my condition is under control, why do I keep coughing? And why do I get a fever if I'm exposed to even a little wind?"

"That's because your condition is only under control, not completely cured. Genetic defects are difficult to cure completely. Your immunity is still very weak, and you can easily get sick. But it's okay, you just need to keep taking your medication to control it."

"Doctor, if the situation is controlled, how long can I live?"

Long Ming looked at Doctor Cheng with a calm expression.

Upon hearing Long Ming's question, Cheng Yue responded with a gentle smile.

“Mr. Longming, as long as you persist with your treatment and maintain an optimistic attitude, I believe you can definitely be just like a normal person.”

"Thank you, then please prescribe me a three-month supply of the medication."

Long Ming nodded slightly.

"it is good!"

Cheng Yue then prescribed medication for Long Ming.

Goodbye, Dr. Cheng.

Long Ming then got up and left the consultation room.

At this moment, Cheng Yue's smile gradually faded, and she handed Long Ming's examination report to Luanna for her to file.
