A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

Of course, Lao Gui still needs treatment.

He simply said that he needed to make more money so he could take cash directly to Zhou An for treatment.

In this way, he wouldn't end up like Jie Chen, a dignified ninth-order Ghost Emperor who couldn't afford medical expenses and had to use shares to cover them.

Zhou An watched the two people leave, then looked at the empty office.

He immediately sat down on the sofa with an air of authority and began to review the rules and contract clause by clause.

The rules and regulations contract has many clauses, about ten pages long.

Zhou An first checked each clause, and then took out a high-level tool for examining contracts to check it again.

In Zhou An's view, one-third of the issues with the contract were somewhat unreasonable.

After inspecting the props, it was discovered that half of the terms were unreasonable.

It's not that it's unreasonable, but rather that the interests are tilted towards the hospitals.

One of the rules is that Zhou An needs to dedicate one day to treating patients every time he enters a new instance.

Because Zhou An cannot leave the instance, the hospital will notify patients to directly enter Zhou An's instance for treatment.

When Zhou An looked at it, there was absolutely no problem.

However, after inspecting the props, problems were identified.

For each instance, one day is allocated. Some instances may be completed in less than a day, making it impossible to meet the one-day standard.

Alternatively, there might be instances like forbidden zones, isolated from the world, inaccessible even to the Ghost Emperor, making them impossible to complete.

If the contract is breached, the hospital has the right to deprive Zhou An of his right to receive treatment in any way.

This was naturally the clause that Zhou An found most unacceptable.

Then, with the help of the props, all these terms were modified, and finally, a discussion was held with the hospital's main will.

This conversation lasted for two hours.

Finally, the two parties finalized the contract terms, and Zhou An signed his name without much hesitation.

Basically, Zhou An would dedicate one day per instance to healing.

However, if a special instance is encountered and the patient is unable to proceed to that instance, the process will be postponed to the next instance.

There's also the issue of profit sharing. Zhou An receives 70% of the cost of treating each person.

It should be noted that previously it was 50%.

After so many negotiations, the other party has stuck to their guns for 70%, and Zhou An has no way to resolve the situation.

After all, hospitals can find big clients, even the Ghost Emperor.

However, one good thing is that Zhou An has three treatment slots every month.

Zhou An can receive full payment for these three treatments.

Meanwhile, all medical expenses below ten million yuan will go to Zhou An, and the hospital will not receive a commission.

The hospital only accepts a commission for medical expenses exceeding ten million.

This is very advantageous to Zhou An.

This also means that he can freely heal others in other instances in the future.

Not depositing money into the accounts is quite casual.

In fact, this contract is most beneficial to the hospital.

After all, with Zhou An, the ultimate doctor, anything can be cured.

Of course, Zhou An added a clause: he was powerless to treat parasitic diseases.

Anyway, Zhou An won't suffer any losses.

After all, he became the honorary dean of the First Strange People's Hospital, and with the influence of the primordial aura, he rose nine levels in a row.

He also reviewed the shareholding agreement.

As long as the shareholding exceeds 1%, the shareholder will receive a cleansing of the original energy when the dividends are distributed at the end of each year.

However, it's definitely not as good as the first time.

Zhou An put away the signed contract and took out the jade box given to him by the Ghost Emperor of Ten Thousand Souls.

"That Ghost Emperor of the Realm Dust is really no good. He cured me, but he didn't even offer a gift."

"That supposedly huge favor, I bet he's ready to kill me right now." Zhou An shook his head.

However, Zhou An was too lazy to care, since he wouldn't have any further dealings with the Ghost Emperor of Realm Dust anyway.

We'll talk about the future later.

Zhou An opened the jade box directly, revealing a fruit that emitted a hazy glow.

[Ability Enhancement Fruit]: Allows one of your abilities to evolve once.

Zhou An was greatly surprised. There was actually such a good thing?

Moreover, this thing isn't for eating. You just place it in your palm and silently recite which ability you want to enhance.

Zhou An immediately began to consider which ability he needed to improve.

"Can talismans enhance my abilities?" The first thing Zhou An thought of was his twelve talismans.

Zhou An thought for a moment and tried to use the power-enhancing fruit to increase the power of the dragon talisman.

However, the power-enhancing fruit remained quietly in his palm, clearly unable to exert any effect on the power of the twelve talismans.

Zhou An now possesses six rule skills and four awakened skills.

He's now at level five and can awaken a skill.

Thinking of this, Zhou An immediately began to awaken.

"Awaken skill." Zhou An directly initiated the awakening process.

Please select the category of your awakened skill: Attack, Control, Defense, Healing, Elemental, Spirit.

Looking at the selected category, Zhou An pondered for a moment before making a choice.

Aside from healing and control, all the others have already been selected once.

As for Arima's charm, what use is it for healing?

Even the best cure can't compare to the Horse Talisman.

[Gain skill: The length of a song]

【The time it takes to sing a song】: A powerful control skill based on rules.

Effect: Allows you to control the other party by specifying the duration of a song. The song duration cannot exceed four minutes.

Zhou An raised an eyebrow; this control skill was quite good.

The Ghost Emperor can actually control the duration of a song?

The song cannot exceed four minutes. As long as you find a song that is less than four minutes long, the other party will be controlled.

It can be described as an extremely powerful control skill.

Zhou An then began to think about what abilities he needed to improve.

After much deliberation, Zhou An chose to kill with a single blow.

One-Slash Slash is a skill he awakened when he was at level one.

【One-Slash Slash】: Concentrate all your ghostly power onto the blade and unleash a single slash, causing immense damage.

It's a regular skill, not a rule-based ability.

He ultimately chose this one because he felt that the upgraded One-Slash would definitely become very powerful.

[Successfully used the Ability Enhancement Fruit, gained the skill: True One-Hit Kill]

【True One-Hit Kill】: A powerful upgraded skill.

Effect: A rule-based skill that concentrates all of one's power onto the blade, unleashing a devastating slash.

"Hmm? It seems like nothing has changed." Zhou An frowned.

However, Zhou An soon realized that he could gather all his power.

Previously, he could only gather all of his own ghostly power.

In this way, one's own three-dimensional attributes can be directly condensed, and the power will definitely increase dramatically.

"Wait, can the power of the Dragon Talisman also be gathered together and released?" Zhou An suddenly thought of this.

With a thought, a ball of crimson light appeared in Zhou An's palm.

That's the power of the dragon talisman.

Zhou An's strength reached the fifth rank, and the power of the Dragon Talisman was enhanced.

Previously, the upper limit was level 5, but now it is level 7.

Although he didn't directly reach the ninth rank, even though his attack crossed two major realms to reach the seventh rank, it still greatly increased Zhou An's strength.

As the power of the dragon talisman dissipated, Zhou An took out a long sword.

In an instant, all the power within Zhou An's body was immediately attached to the blade.

That wasn't all; the power of the dragon talisman also extended out and condensed on it.

At this moment, the longsword shone with golden light, as if some terrifying power was being nurtured within it.

Zhou An roughly sensed it and found that the power had increased dramatically.

It is even more powerful than a simple dragon talisman.

It's barely enough to reach the eighth level.

It might not be able to kill an eighth-tier being, but it can definitely injure them.

Even so, Zhou An was already very satisfied.

"Eighth rank? I'm only fifth rank, yet I can unleash an eighth-rank attack. Tsk tsk tsk." Zhou An shook his head with a smile, then sheathed his longsword.
