Only I Have the Law: A Realistic Cultivation Game

Chapter 112 I Can Afford It Now (Please Subscribe)

It was already 4 PM when we left Nanzen-ji Temple.

Xu Zhiyi rushed to the sanatorium without stopping.

The weather has been bad lately, and the air is quite humid.

The elderly people in the nursing home mostly stay in their rooms and don't go out much.

Xu Zhiyi arrived at Jingxin Garden with familiarity with the place.

As soon as he reached the third-floor corridor, he saw that familiar figure.

Aunt Liu was pushing Grandma slowly down the corridor.

"Aunt Liu."

Xu Zhiyi walked over quickly.

Aunt Liu turned around, a smile spreading across her face: "Little Xu's here?"

"Hmm." Xu Zhiyi nodded, her gaze falling on her grandmother. "How is Grandma today?"

Aunt Liu's smile faded a bit, and she lowered her voice, saying, "It's probably because the weather has been bad these past two days, and your grandma's emotions have been unstable. She hasn't been sleeping well at night, and she made a fuss for most of last night, insisting on going home, saying that there's still soup simmering on the stove."

I tried explaining to her for ages, but it was no use. Finally, the on-duty doctor came and prescribed some sedatives, and she slowly drifted off to sleep.

Xu Zhiyi nodded, squatted down, and held her grandmother's withered hand.

"grandmother."

The old woman looked up, her cloudy eyes brightening. "Zhiyi, Zhiyi's here—good child, have you eaten yet? Grandma will go get you a small piece of bread."

"Okay, I'll push you back to your room to get the small bread."

Xu Zhiyi felt a tightness in her chest.

He pushed his grandmother back to her room and sat with her for more than ten minutes, saying a few words. At first, his grandmother could recognize him, but after a while, she forgot who he was.

Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Xu Zhiyi asked Aunt Liu to take care of things while she went to the doctor's office to find Dr. Zhang.

Dr. Zhang was still sitting behind her desk, holding a thermos. Seeing him enter, she greeted him with some surprise, "Xiao Xu, what brings you here today? Don't you have classes?"

I took a day off.

Xu Zhiyi sat down in the chair and said seriously, "Dr. Zhang, I heard that my grandmother hasn't been sleeping well lately, and her emotions are also quite unstable. What could be the reason for this?"

"It's caused by the worsening of my condition, which I told you about last time."

Dr. Zhang's expression became more serious as he found the grandmother's medical record: "We just conducted a new assessment of your grandmother yesterday. Her memory has severely declined, and she has basically lost her spatial and temporal orientation. She also occasionally exhibits emotional agitation and abnormal behavior."

Since he had discussed this matter with Dr. Zhang before, Xu Zhiyi was not surprised. He nodded and directly stated his purpose: "Dr. Zhang, I would like to transfer my grandmother to a VIP single suite."

Dr. Zhang paused for a moment, looking at him with some surprise.

"Xiao Xu, the cost of a single suite is not low. It costs at least 20,000 yuan a month there, and the medical insurance reimbursement rate is very low. Most of it has to be paid out of pocket."

"I know," Xu Zhiyi said earnestly, "I can afford it now."

Dr. Zhang seemed to have thought of something and suddenly laughed.

"That's right, you're not just a student now, you're also a big internet celebrity with millions of followers. I've seen a lot of your videos lately."

Xu Zhiyi smiled and said, "It hasn't reached a million yet."

"It's only a matter of time."

Dr. Zhang looked at him with admiration, "If your grandma knew how successful you are, she would be overjoyed. It's rare that you've just started earning money and you're already thinking about improving your grandma's life; you're truly filial."

Okay, since you've made up your mind, I'll get the paperwork done for you.

She turned on her computer and started typing away on the keyboard.

"The VIP single suite is in Yanbo Tower. The environment there is quiet, the room is spacious, and there is a separate reception area, bathroom, and small balcony with a lake view."

However, these VIP suites are in high demand right now.

As you know, our sanatorium has a good environment, and many political and business figures from the surrounding cities—ahem, anyway, there aren't many rooms available right now. Let me have someone take you to see if there are any suitable ones.

"OK."

Xu Zhiyi nodded.

Soon two nurses took him to Yanbo Tower.

This place is completely different from Jingxinyuan.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious and bright lobby with staff on duty 24 hours a day. Access to the elevators requires a card swipe, completely preventing outsiders from entering.

After taking the elevator to the 8th floor, Xu Zhiyi found that the corridor here was much wider than that of Jingxinyuan. The floor was covered with non-slip mats, and the walls were decorated with landscape paintings. It was very elegant, and even the air was filled with a faint fragrance.

It smells completely different from the disinfectant smell at Jingxinyuan.

The empty room was at the end of the corridor.

The nurse swiped her room card to open the door, then stepped aside, gesturing for him to go first.

Xu Zhiyi walked in without hesitation.

The room was much larger than he had imagined, at least fifty or sixty square meters.

The entrance area is a small reception area with a sofa, coffee table, and wall-mounted TV, looking almost exactly like being at home. The sofa is even foldable, able to be unfolded into a small bed, perfect for someone providing companionship.

Further inside is the ward area, with large nursing beds placed by the window. Each bed has a call button, oxygen interface, ECG monitoring interface, and more. Opposite the beds is a full-length window offering a view of Taihu Lake.

The waters are vast and misty, and the distant mountains are like dark eyebrows.

Further inside is a separate bathroom with a wet and dry separation, featuring both a bathtub and a shower. The bathroom also has handrails installed throughout, as well as a special bath chair for showering.

Xu Zhiyi walked around the room and asked about the appliances. She found that the whole room was equipped with underfloor heating, central air conditioning, and a fresh air system. The mattress and bedding were also high-end products.

He was quite satisfied with all of this.

Even when I was at home, I had never lived this well.

Most importantly, he now has ample space to set up a spirit-gathering array.

Back at Jingxinyuan, he found Dr. Zhang, signed a contract, and paid 5 yuan, of which 3 yuan was a deposit. He also had to pay the next month's fees before the 15th of each month.

After today's expenses, Xu Zhiyi only has a little over 4 yuan left in her account.

But he wasn't flustered.

Jiang Shangge still owes him 210 million.

Jiang Shangge has been contacting him almost every day these past few days, apologetically saying that her father will be back from out of town soon and will be able to give him the money then.

Xu Zhiyi wasn't worried that she would renege on her debt.

It wasn't because he trusted her that he was so confident, but because he wasn't afraid she would renege on her promise.

After paying, the staff from the sanatorium came to help me transfer to a ward.

Grandma then came to her senses and scolded him for wasting money, telling him to save it for his college education, getting married, having children, buying a house, and buying a car.

Strangely enough, her thoughts became much clearer when she started worrying about her grandson.

Xu Zhiyi could only tell her that she was able to earn money now, and that she didn't need to worry, just focus on recuperating, and that she would take her home once she recovered.

Grandma still refused, insisting that he solve his own problem first.

In the end, it was only after Dr. Zhang and Aunt Liu persuaded her that Grandma agreed to move to Yanbo Building, but she still urged Xu Zhiyi to settle herself down first, so that she could not always live under someone else's roof.

Xu Zhiyi herself didn't feel there was anything wrong with living in an attic now.

The landlord was quite nice to him.

However, in order to put his grandmother at ease during her recovery, he agreed to settle himself down as soon as possible.

Grandma was a little unaccustomed to the new room.

However, with Aunt Liu around, there's nothing to worry about.

He had dinner with his grandmother and then watched TV with her for a while.

Around 8 o'clock, Grandma got sleepy and went to sleep.

Aunt Liu also said she needed to go back to Jingxinyuan to get some things.

The door closed.

Only Xu Zhiyi and her sleeping grandmother remained in the room.

Xu Zhiyi's mind stirred slightly, and she summoned the array panel.

Materials for a Basic Spirit Gathering Array

Bronze Bagua Plate (1/1)

Top grade jade (1/1)

Top-grade peach wood (1/1)

Obsidian (5/5)

[All materials are complete. Shall we begin setting up the basic spirit-gathering array?]

【Yes】

Please select a location to deploy your formation.

With a thought, Xu Zhiyi locked the array's range across the entire room.

In an instant, the bronze Bagua plate, the top-grade jade, the top-grade peach wood, and the five pieces of obsidian in the storage bag all disappeared.

Instead, a pale golden light, visible to the naked eye, emerged from the void and quickly outlined a complex and mysterious array.

The array was initially only one meter square, floating in mid-air and slowly rotating.

With each rotation, more golden patterns appeared at the edges, layer upon layer, extremely complex, and the array expanded considerably, eventually covering the entire room!

Then the array began to slowly descend, gradually merging into the floor, walls, and ceiling.

The whole process lasted about a minute.

The golden light dissipated.

The room returned to calm.

Xu Zhiyi looked around, and on the surface, nothing seemed to have changed.

But he could sense that something had changed.

Hopefully, it will be effective.

And there's also a Rejuvenating Pill!

It must be refined.
