The Last Sentinel

The atmosphere in the hospital cafeteria was serious.

Dozens of security guards stood in neat rows, guarding the canteen perfectly.

The leader, a burly man with a square face, looked Ye Feng up and down as he ate not far away.

"Captain," a security guard whispered, "what did this guy do wrong? Why are you assigning so many men?"

The burly security captain said, "I don't know. Dean Zhang called me personally and told me to keep a close watch on them."

The security guard whispered, "Vice Dean Zhang? My goodness, Vice Dean Zhang has a terrible temper. I heard he doesn't even give the dean any face."

The security captain said, "Isn't that obvious? The hospital director is just a figurehead. When it comes to real skills, it's Vice Director Zhang. Aren't so many people coming to our hospital specifically for Vice Director Zhang?"

The security guard said, "Captain, do you think this person might be a wanted fugitive?"

The security captain said, "Don't overthink it. We'll just keep an eye on things and not cause any unnecessary trouble."

Soon, hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

"Hello, Dean!"

"Has the dean had lunch?"

The cafeteria door opened, and a bald, middle-aged doctor rushed in. His eyes swept across the cafeteria, and when he noticed Ye Feng, the anxiety in the vice president's eyes subsided.

Upon seeing the vice president arrive, the security captain hurriedly went to greet him, "Sir, he's here."

"Alright!" The vice-dean waved his hand. "You can all leave now!"

The security team hurriedly left.

The vice dean ordered lunch and sat down opposite Ye Feng.

"Young man, what a coincidence!" the vice dean greeted Ye Feng warmly. "We just met in the elevator!"

Ye Feng glanced hesitantly at the vice dean, while inwardly, the chat group was filled with sighs.

Hongmeng's First Affection: What did I tell you? In less than an hour, this old man would come looking for you! How about that? Only half an hour has passed!

The Medical Sage: It has to be my paper that's the best, otherwise he wouldn't have come.

Immortal God of Magic: Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and settle the medical bills for the father of the Limitless Demon Lord, and quickly take on the next job!

Fifteenth-realm martial artist: That's right, hurry up and settle the matter with the Limitless Demon, then take my job!

Faced with the vice president's initiative in greeting him, Ye Feng feigned surprise and said, "I remember, I heard them call you vice president. You're the vice president of this top-tier hospital?"

The vice dean, a smug smile on his face, handed over a business card. "This is my business card!"

Ye Feng accepted it and hurriedly stood up. "Greetings, Dean Zhang! I was blind to your greatness; I didn't know you were a master of orthopedics, a top expert in the field!"

"Sit down, sit down!" Dean Zhang said with great appreciation. "No need to be so polite. My friend and I hit it off immediately. There's no need for such formality."

Ye Feng sat down and, while eating, said, "Dean Zhang must be very busy!"

Dean Zhang said, "Yes! They're incredibly busy, barely having time to eat! Judging from your attire, are you a food delivery driver?"

Ye Feng replied, "Yes."

Dean Zhang asked, "What did you study?"

Ye Feng said, "I studied civil engineering, specifically engineering materials!"

Dean Zhang hesitated before asking, "Is your family a hereditary family of doctors?"

Ye Feng shook his head. "I'm an orphan."

Dean Zhang looked at the young man shoveling rice into his mouth with some confusion.

How could an orphan, a civil engineering major, be so skilled in medicine?

That doesn't make sense!

But Dean Zhang quickly convinced himself again.

The other person actually corrected my paper in front of me, and what they proposed was a completely new medical framework, a great project comparable to Mendeleev's creation of the periodic table.

Geniuses are called geniuses precisely because they take unconventional approaches.

A genius's greatest strength may not be their profession.

Just like how Newton's profession was theology, but that didn't stop him from proposing Newton's three laws of motion!

If he were really an ordinary medical student, his medical talent would have been exposed long ago, so how could it have been his turn?

It was precisely because he was a civil engineer and had never been exposed to medicine that he was able to become his student!

Thinking of this, Dean Zhang chuckled and said, "Civil engineering is a very good major, but unfortunately, the civil engineering job market isn't doing too well right now."

Ye Feng nodded, "Yes, a lot of my classmates have gone to deliver packages!"

Dean Zhang tentatively asked, "Have you ever thought about changing careers?"

Ye Feng shook his head, "I haven't thought about it yet. Changing careers requires too much capital, and I don't have that much money."

Dean Zhang said, "Actually, changing careers isn't as complicated as you think! I have a good job opportunity here, I wonder if you'd be interested?"

Ye Feng said, "What job? I don't know anything about medicine."

Dean Zhang was speechless. What do you mean you don't understand medicine? My husband was so shocked that he wanted to take a taxi over to take you as his apprentice. And you're telling me you don't understand medicine?

But geniuses, they all like to pretend! I can understand!

If you're willing to be my apprentice, I can even act in a disguise with you!

Dean Zhang said, "It's like this! I need an assistant here. Don't misunderstand, it's not a medical assistant, just a regular office clerk assistant, who will help me receive leaders, colleagues and friends, and organize documents."

Ye Feng said, "Dean Zhang, you should find someone else. I really can't be a clerk, and I'm short of money right now."

Dean Zhang hesitated and asked, "Short of money? Are you in debt?"

Ye Feng said, "My cousin is hospitalized, and the medical expenses are over 130,000 yuan."

Dean Zhang laughed heartily, "It's no big deal! I don't care how much you think it is! As long as you agree to be my assistant, I'll reimburse you for the 130,000! What do you say?"

Ye Feng asked, "Then, how much will I get paid as a clerical worker?"

Dean Zhang raised his hand. "As for your salary, we'll calculate it according to the hospital's standard rate of eight thousand yuan. We can't break the rules! We'll give you the maximum subsidies and benefits, full medical reimbursement, a company car, a house, and security! By the way, after you join the company, your medical insurance can reimburse your uncle's medical expenses of over 130,000 yuan, as well as any subsequent medical costs!"

Ye Feng said, "That sounds good, but Dean Zhang, let me be clear from the start: I'm usually very busy and may have to take leave frequently."

Dean Zhang generously said, "Young people, dating and having fun are understandable! Just come in one day a week and work diligently. I'm very easy to talk to! If you encounter any difficulties in your life or work, just say so. I'll do my best to help you, and I definitely won't refuse!"

Ye Feng said, "Well, thank you, Teacher Zhang."

Dean Zhang beamed with delight upon hearing the word "teacher," picked up his teacup, and said, "Alright, since you call me teacher, then from now on we're master and apprentice. Come on, let's drink tea instead of wine!"

Ye Feng said, "This student toasts you, sir!"

Dean Zhang then said, "My dear student, tell me the truth, did you tamper with my thesis in the elevator?"

Ye Feng awkwardly smiled and said, "The student doesn't know any better, it was just scribbling."

Dean Zhang nodded. "Alright, I'll send you a few more papers. Take a look at them, revise them for me, and I'll publish them with your name on them!"

Ye Feng said, "This isn't quite right! After all, it's your paper, Professor. It wouldn't be fair to put my name on it!"

Dean Zhang magnanimously replied, "What's good or bad about it! I'm already so old, why would I care about those empty titles?"

Ye Feng said, "Then please send me the paper now, and I'll revise it for you."

Dean Zhang's eyes lit up. "So efficient? Don't we need to go back and reflect on this?"

Ye Feng shook his head, "No need. I can get started right now, immediately!"

"Alright, you're efficient, kid. I admire a sharp young man like you who gets things done directly and without any hesitation!"

"Come on, to my office!"

"good!"

In the chat group, one academic paper after another appeared.

Hongmeng's First Deepest Affection: Healing Sage, let's get this going!

Wuji Demon Lord: Brother Healer, give it your all! I'll give you two universe energy as your reward!

The Sage of Medicine: Such a great favor, and you only give me two universes? Wuji, you're so stingy!

Wuji Demon Lord: Damn it, you're trying to bargain with me! It was Ye Feng who helped, not you! If you don't do this job, plenty of others will. The Eight-Winged Holy Light Archangel has been queuing up for ages.

Eight-winged Archangel: The person upstairs is talking nonsense. I just happened to have some free time recently, so I'm being more active in the group. But speaking of which, if the paper is too difficult to write, I can do it for you. A paper on converting Holy Light Priest spells into technology isn't that hard.

The Sage of Medicine: Shut up! This is a trivial matter. My disciples and grand-disciples can handle it. My skills are extraordinary. I'm going to create a legendary medical genius persona for Ye Feng, a super persona! I'm going to push the medical technology of my hometown to a new level. At the very least, I'll break through to the level of Peng Zu's eight hundred years!

The Demon Lord Wuji sighed: "As the saying goes, within three steps, there will surely be an antidote; the path to redemption lies within. Ahahaha—now that this matter is settled, I will focus on avenging the Sentinels. They allowed us to see our home, yet we cannot return; then let them lose their home too! Forgot the beginning, forgot the middle, forgot the end. In short, let the stars fall, let the star sea boil, let the boundary sea burn! Let us all feel the pain!"

Group notification: [Wuji Demon Lord]'s activity status has been changed to AFK status, and his emotional state has been updated to level 10 Frenzy. Message: Do not contact this Demon Lord unless it is an important announcement, I am afraid of hurting you.
