Yu-Gi-Oh!: This card wants to go to you.

"Absolutely real, even a real red-eyed black dragon wouldn't be this real!" Luo Bai shouted from afar.

"come on!"

"Oh--"

...

On the way to the infirmary, similar incidents occurred frequently, with challengers constantly appearing.

Most of them were students in red, a very few in yellow, and the students in blue were only giving advice.

However, Luo Bai rejected them all.

Firstly, the Duel Disk hasn't been customized yet.

Secondly, the practical assessment ends at 7 p.m., a full seven hours. With 48 points of dueling chips, he only needs to play big and win a couple of rounds to pass, so there's no rush.

A short while later, Luo Bai arrived at the college's infirmary as instructed.

The atmosphere is quiet and comfortable, the walls are probably in soft light colors, and medical equipment and devices such as blood pressure monitors and thermometers are neatly placed and easily accessible throughout the corridors.

A medical consultation process chart is posted on the wall, which uses an AI program.

The doorplate will indicate whether it is "Available" or "Busy".

After registering his information on the AI ​​screen, Luo Bai arrived at vacant room 105 and was about to knock on the door.

A figure pushed open the door and bumped into him.

"Yes, I'm sorry." Bai Yun nodded and apologized with her eyes closed, leaning on her guide cane.

"It's nothing, it's nothing," Luo Bai quickly waved his hand, looking at the girl in front of him with some surprise.

Standing nearly 1.7 meters tall, unlike the other students in red, yellow, and blue uniforms, she wore a white school uniform with a badge pinned to her shoulder. She kept her eyes closed, suggesting she was blind.

"I hope you are alright." She smiled and nodded, her tone calm.

Wishing you good health.

She tapped the ground very softly with her cane, walked forward alone, and disappeared at the end of the dimly lit corridor.

Chapter 161 A Lifelong Knot

"Dong dong!"

Luo Bai knocked twice on the door of the infirmary.

"Enter."

A calm and peaceful voice came from inside the door.

After receiving a response, he pushed open the door and entered, the smell of disinfectant mingling with the hum of various mechanical instruments.

"Luo Bai, right?" Dr. Fu glanced at the computer screen, then looked up at Luo Bai and asked.

"Okay." Luo Bai nodded and, following the medical procedure, placed the supercomputing ring on the detector to confirm his identity.

【drop】

[Confirmation successful]

The detector flashed a green light.

"What's the problem?" Dr. Fu asked softly.

He held a tablet and a photolithography pen, ready to record medical records.

“I…” Luo Bai stammered, “I can’t feel pain.”

"Can this... be cured?"

His illness is incurable on Earth, but he is clearly more technologically advanced than Antana, so there is hope that he can be cured.

"Can't feel pain?" Dr. Fu was taken aback and asked seriously, "When did this start? Was your pain level adjusted to level seven or higher during the duel?"

“No…” Luo Bai shook his head and said gloomily, “It’s congenital. I was born unable to feel pain.”

"What?!" Dr. Fu's eyes widened in astonishment.

Having practiced medicine for over a decade, this is the first time I've heard of a disease that causes congenital inability to feel pain.

"Come on, let's do a brain scan first."

He beckoned Luo Bai to lie down on a medical equipment bed.

Various red and blue lights swept across his body.

A few minutes later, Dr. Fu stared at the CT scan, his eyes wide open as if he had seen a ghost.

"It's unbelievable."

He cast a glance at Luo Bai as if he were looking at a monster.

"How have you managed to survive until now...?"

He had never seen such a bizarre brain structure. The area of ​​the cerebral cortex that processes pain signals was not damaged, but the nerve conduction process was abnormal, as if some neurotransmitters were missing.

How did they survive?

"Hmm...it's not easy."

Luo Bai gave a bitter laugh and mocked himself.

His thoughts drifted back to scenes from his childhood.

Because spiciness is a form of pain, he often ate chili peppers as a dish but found them tasteless, resulting in redness and swelling in his mouth and throat.

He fainted and was taken to the hospital.

Because they don't get headaches, they are unaware of any illnesses or fevers.

He fainted and was taken to the hospital.

Sometimes you step on a nail without realizing it, and only after you get back to the card shop and take off your shoes do you discover a bloody footprint on the ground behind you.

Excessive blood loss.

He fainted and was taken to the hospital.

Fortunately, there's a caring old man.

Otherwise... I don't know how many times I would have died.

The old man had toiled for years, using all the meager profits from the card shop to pay for his medical treatment, leaving him with no money for his own...

Luo Bai's only relative went bankrupt trying to help him with his illness and died from years of overwork; this was a lifelong regret for him.

...

"Doctor, can this be cured?" Luo Bai asked anxiously, his eyes gleaming with longing. "I have money, plenty of money!"

He'd be willing to spend a hundred million yuan if it could cure the disease.

"This might not be a matter of money." Dr. Fu frowned, his face gloomy, and said frankly, "With the current medical level of a Level 4 fortress, it is very likely that this disease cannot be cured."

It offered no comfort, coldly stating a fact.

Luo Bai's heart sank suddenly.

"A level four fortress won't do..."

Suddenly remembering something, his hope rekindled, as if grasping at a last straw, and he eagerly asked, "Can the medical care in that high-level fortress cure my illness?"

After the fortress is upgraded, the technology for people's livelihood and various facilities will also be upgraded.

"Phew..." Dr. Fu shook his head and sighed, truthfully saying, "I'm not sure."

But there is still hope!

He had never felt so powerless, yet he desperately wanted to cheer on the boy in front of him.

But when he thought about his own fortress team's 7-3 record, he didn't know where to begin to console himself.

"I'll prescribe some medicine for you to regulate your body."

Dr. Fu said helplessly, a sense of guilt rising in his heart.

As a doctor, I am powerless to save lives, but I can only offer encouragement and support.

Don't be too discouraged.

"If the team wins their next two matches and advances to the playoffs, we can avoid relegation; there's still hope..."

I didn't dare say the part about "if we win the championship..." because it was too exaggerated, like a dream.

"Thank you." Luo Bai nodded and smiled, knowing the doctor was trying to comfort him.

"I understand the situation, thank you."

He nodded to the doctor again, walked out of the medical room, the sun was shining brightly, but his mood was somewhat complicated.

The bad news is that a level 4 fortress can't handle it.

The good news is that there is hope for the fortress upgrade.

"Boom boom boom!"

Various explosions and shockwaves rang out one after another.

The academy's practical assessments have reached a fever pitch, with duels happening everywhere. Most of the summoned monsters are familiar faces: the Three-Eyed Monster, the Black Forest Witch, and the Killer Tomato...

"Cheer up! Cheer up!"

Luo Bai patted his cheeks twice to perk himself up.

"When you're feeling down, play cards!"

Unfortunately, I haven't bought the Duel Disk yet.

"Newcomer, let's duel!"

A clear, childlike shout came from behind.

Luo Bai turned around and met the gazes of Xia Sheng and Xia Yu, the two siblings.

"I'm sorry!" Xia Yu was stunned when she saw the person in front of her, and immediately bowed at a ninety-degree angle.
