A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

"A loan? Why? I can afford these medical expenses." Zhao Tiansheng looked at Zhou An with a puzzled expression.

Zhou An did not answer immediately, but instead activated the power of the horse talisman.

Take a day off

My dad had surgery today, and I need to take care of him for the whole day, so I'm taking the day off.

Regular updates will resume tomorrow.

Chapter 143 Aiming for First Place

A flash of white light appeared on Zhao Tiansheng's body, and then he looked much more energetic.

Zhao Tiansheng's face instantly turned into one of utter disbelief.

He looked at Zhou An: "This... I... I feel it, the curse in my body has disappeared."

"You...you're called Zhou An, right? How did you do that?"

Zhao Tiansheng was very excited at this moment; this curse had tormented him for far too long.

He tried many methods, but none could remove it. He could only temporarily suppress it with the help of Director Wang at the First People's Hospital.

That's why Director Wang's monthly performance is almost always no less than three million.

"This is my ability. My ability is incredibly effective against curses and all kinds of injuries."

"Senior, I hope you can grant me a loan. I need to achieve the top performance in the entire hospital," Zhou An said.

"No rush, let's check the bill first. If it's too expensive or the interest is too high, I don't want it either." Zhao Tiansheng calmed down at this moment.

If Zhou An had told him before the treatment, he would definitely have taken out a loan and been willing to pay the interest.

However, Zhao Tiansheng's curse has now been removed, given how difficult it was for him to get rid of his own curse.

His medical expenses are definitely not low.

In this situation, he is unwilling to pay an additional 30% for medical expenses.

Zhou An frowned, but quickly relaxed.

The bill was printed out quickly.

Zhou An glanced at the bill; it was seven figures, a hefty seven figures.

Upon seeing the bill, Zhao Tiansheng's face immediately darkened: "It's actually eight and a half million? Oh well, I'll just spend five hundred thousand a month at the hospital anyway."

He doesn't feel the pain of earning 500,000 a month, because it's a way to suppress his curse.

The total cost of treatment is now 8.5 million, which is a bit painful.

"Dr. Zhou, thank you for your treatment. There's no need to talk about the loan." After saying this, Zhao Tiansheng prepared to leave.

Zhou An originally wanted to offer to pay the interest himself, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

He had already saved people, and now he was still paying interest out of his own pocket. He felt a little foolish.

Even if you have money, you can't waste it like this.

At worst, I can just treat more patients myself.

Even... is it permissible to steal someone else's patient?

Soon, Director Wang came in.

"Zhou An, how did you do that? Did you really remove President Zhao's curse?" Director Wang asked, his face filled with shock.

"Yes, my ability is quite special. I can easily heal any kind of injury, whether it's a curse or something else." Zhou An nodded slightly.

"Not bad, not bad, very good."

"Haha, now you can even compete for the title of outstanding employee of the whole hospital." Director Wang smiled.

It's important to understand that as the head of the emergency department, Director Wang benefits more from the higher the performance of his staff.

He receives an extra 5% of the bonuses awarded.

“I have two more clients; you should also try to remove all their curses.”

"By the way, from now on, I will treat all the patients in the hospital."

"How's it going? Can you handle it?" Director Wang asked excitedly.

"Director Wang, if you give them all to me, won't you and the other doctors have any objections?" Zhou An asked hesitantly, looking at Director Wang.

"With me keeping them in check, would they dare?"

"As for me, the higher your performance is right now, the better. Don't worry about anything else," Director Wang waved his hand.

Clearly, it seems that Director Wang is also plotting something.

Zhou An didn't care; all he wanted was to achieve good results.

"By the way, Director Wang, do you think I could go to another department to treat other patients?" Zhou An suddenly asked.

"Hmm? In principle, it's not allowed because you're not a doctor in their department and don't have the authority to treat patients."

"Unless they transfer you there, or... you get treatment outside the building."

Director Wang suddenly thought of something and a smile appeared on his face: "You don't need to work in the emergency department outpatient clinic anymore."

"Go to the emergency room and treat all the patients first, then you can stay in the outpatient hall."

"There are the most patients there. Even if the sky falls, the hospital rules will prevent them from doing anything to you."

After saying that, Director Wang patted Zhou An on the shoulder.

Upon hearing this, Zhou An's eyes lit up.

What Director Wang said was essentially saying that patients shouldn't be treated in other departments.

However, they can directly snatch patients in the outpatient hall.

Moreover, there's no need to worry about getting into trouble, because it's reasonable, compliant, and in accordance with hospital rules.

Since treatment is available anywhere, as long as the hospital can process the payment, that's fine.

Zhou An immediately followed Director Wang to the emergency room.

At this moment, inside the emergency room, four or five doctors are busy treating patients.

At a glance, there were at least a dozen strange figures lying on the emergency room beds.

"All doctors, stop treatment and come over here!" Director Wang shouted as he entered the room, clapping his hands.

"Director Wang, I'm stitching up my stomach right now, wait a moment," a doctor said without looking up.

"I don't want to say it a second time." Director Wang's cold gaze swept over the crowd.

In an instant, a terrifying aura spread out, a strange aura belonging to the seventh rank.

Even Zhou An felt a powerful sense of oppression.

The doctors immediately dared not delay any longer and quickly assembled.

Some people were even holding a kidney in their hands, their hands covered in blood.

The patients immediately fell silent, suppressing their anger.

A seventh-tier being is already a powerful figure in their own right.

Once outside the hospital, crushing them would be as easy as crushing an ant.

The most skilled emergency patient was only at level six.

Standing behind the doctor, nurse Liu Jing also secretly glanced at Zhou An, feeling that Zhou An must be a factor in the situation.

"Zhou An, get to work. All the patients are yours now," Director Wang instructed Zhou An.

"Yes, Director Wang." Zhou An nodded and walked towards the first patient.

The patient's abdomen had a large hole torn open, and the surrounding wounds were still bleeding and were completely unable to heal.

There was also an opening in the stomach, and you could still see the needle and thread on it, which meant that the doctor had been treating this patient before.

"Director Wang, what's going on? Why are all the patients being handed over to this human?" the doctor asked, forcing himself to speak.

"Yes, Director Wang, this is not in accordance with regulations. How can all patients be treated by one doctor?"

"Even if we give it to him, can he treat all the patients at once? If a patient dies in the hospital, the hospital will have to pay compensation."

These are all matters concerning their own interests, and they absolutely cannot back down, even when facing a seventh-level director.

Besides, this is a hospital, and hospitals have their own rules.

"Solve it first!"

Director Wang didn't speak, but Zhou An's voice came through.

Everyone looked over and discovered that the patient whose wounds had been imbued with a special ability that prevented them from healing due to fighting the enemy had now fully recovered.

The hole in her stomach disappeared without a trace, revealing a smooth belly to them.

"Liu Jing, print out the bill and give it to this gentleman so he can pay the bill," Zhou An said to Liu Jing.

"Yes... Dr. Zhou." Liu Jing reacted immediately, quickly grabbed a printer, and went to the patient.

Then the printer started printing the bill automatically.

"Seventy thousand yuan? That's not bad."

"Your doctors' treatment skills have improved so much, that's really great." The patient nodded in satisfaction, took the bill, and prepared to leave.

"Sir, do you need a loan? In my capacity as director, I can offer you a 50% discount on the 30% interest rate, bringing it down to 15%," Director Wang said with a smile.

"15%? That's great! I'll take out a loan." The patient's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

"Liu Jing, the loan agreement," Director Wang said to Liu Jing.

Liu Jing nodded and quickly took the loan contract.

The contract was signed shortly afterward.

Meanwhile, Zhou An had already finished treating the second patient.
