Chapter 502: Chapter 502 - Mental Hospital
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Under normal circ.u.mstances, renovating an island would require a lot of resources. Just the freight fee alone was already more than ten times what it would be with dry land transport.
After calculating, Wei Xiao Bei noticed that everything in total he had to with the island would cost him more than twenty million USD.
He looked at his wallet and shook his head.
Although he had borrowed one million euros from Huang Kun"s mother, Zhou Rong, for the future profit of Chinese Miracle Medicine, only five hundred euros was left after various expenses.
As for the profits of Chinese Miracle Medicine, it would take at least two months before he would be able to return the loan.
In short, Wei Xiao Bei now had no money.
Naturally, the auction should begin soon. Wei Xiao Bei entrusted the auction company to undertake the task of selling his ancient armors and other items. He should be able to gain around twenty million from them, but that was in yuan, converting it to USD it was only four million.
He needed to go earn more money!
After temporarily creating a goal, Wei Xiao Bei put away his thoughts and placed his attention back to carving. His right-hand gently moved, removing wood shavings from the sculpture he was making.
From morning to evening and till the next day, it took Wei Xiao Bei twenty hours to reach the point of almost finis.h.i.+ng his sculpture.
He viewed the sculpture as a way to temper his heart.
During the last time that he had consumed the Soul Pearl of the Skeleton Birds, he had eliminated the undead aura, but he felt a bit out of it when his soul had stabilized.
Wei Xiao Bei also knew that this was very normal.
The soul and the physical body were inseparably close from the very beginning.
If the physical body was excessively strong, then it was easy for the soul to enter a situation where it could not control the physical body. This kind of situation was similar to how having high strength and low agility would cause problems with controlling your power.
As for when the soul becomes stronger than the physical body, it would also cause various problems. For example, if the soul was too vigorous, the body might feel highly sensitive and become numb, to the point that it would be possible to feel discomfort from a mung bean hiding under the mattress.
Just like that, the soul and the physical body needed to be repolished again.
For Wei Xiao Bei, this kind of natural repolis.h.i.+ng had affected his power output.
After Wei Xiao Bei touched the sculpture again, he was happily surprised to find out that the concentration that he placed in sculpting was able to quickly speed up this repolis.h.i.+ng process.
Originally, it would take two months to finish the process. If he continued using his time for sculpting, then the repolis.h.i.+ng process should be able to decrease to half a month or even less.
This was why Wei Xiao Bei neglected sleeping or eating as he placed all his time in sculpting.
Naturally, compared to handicrafts like sugar painting, the effects of sculpting was a lot better.
After putting away the almost finished sculpture, Wei Xiao Bei took a bath and trained after that.
Although the problems of not training these past three days would not physically appear on his body, this was still the fundamentals of increasing his martial realm. In normal situations, Wei Xiao Bei would take some time to train in a stance and slowly increase his realm of understanding.
Afterward, Wei Xiao Bei ate breakfast and dialed Xu Fei Yang. Soon, a normal black car appeared at the opening of the alley where the dojo was located.
When Wei Xiao Bei arrived at the destination, he was speechless as to where the hidden base of the SIC was located in Cui Hu City.
In web novels, secret mechanisms of the country would have their bases installed in the deserted countryside. They would hide it by excavating a large hole in a mountain and blocking the outside with military restriction signs. Moreover, the inside would be like an underground city. Some were located in the downtown area, pretending to be a company.
However, the secret base in front of Wei Xiao Bei was a mental hospital.
Isn"t this a bit too embarra.s.sing?
Seeing his strange expression, Xu Fei Yang who came out to welcome him awkwardly spoke, "This could not be helped. This was the best cover as I am the vice-president of the hospital. Regardless, the director of the hospital is the real deal and renowned internationally. If you have any need for his services, I can help you get an eighty percent discount."
F***!
Do you think I need to go to therapy?
Wei Xiao Bei almost cursed.
Going back to the issue, the strange feeling he had of the mental hospital had disappeared when Xu Fei Yang spoke.
Naturally, normal people would not come to this place. Thus, his feelings were understandable.
Xu Fei Yang guided the way while giving a presentation.
"This is the clinical department building. Inside, there are emergency rooms, consultation rooms, health care rooms….. This is the medical skill department building where the pharmacy is located. Oh, that building holds the patients. The place where we will be going is behind there.
When Xu Fei Yang had just finished speaking, a doctor wearing a doctor"s coat came running in their direction. A man wearing a patient"s clothing was in pursuit behind him. There were also two more doctors and two male nurses following behind.
"The patient behind me has gone crazy! Please help me hold him down. Thanks!"
The doctor that had been running at the front was already pale in the face and gasping for breath. Seeing Wei Xiao Bei and Xu Fei Yang, he became happy and quickly asked for help.
Wei Xiao Bei did not think much of it and extended his hand toward the crazed patient behind the doctor.
The mental patient was still a normal person. He couldn"t dodge Wei Xiao Bei"s hand.
With a light press on the patient"s neck, the patient immediately stopped moving and gone limp.
"Doctor Zhang! It"s a mistake! It"s a mistake!"
Seeing the mental patient collapse, the two doctors chasing at the back quickly shouted.
Wei Xiao Bei became dizzy at the situation, but his actions were not muddleheaded. He quickly extended his hand and caught the doctor.
The reason was simple. With the mental patient on the ground, the doctor still wanted to keep running. This was clearly a problem.
The doctor continued to struggle and even tried to bite Wei Xiao Bei.
How could Wei Xiao Bei let himself be bitten so easily? Seeing how strongly the other party was struggling, he also pressed on the doctor"s neck and made him faint.
"Pressure point techniques?"
At this time, Xu Fei Yang who had entered a dazed state from the succession of unforeseen events let out a low shout.
Wei Xiao Bei did not reply to it and placed his attention on the two doctors coming over.
This was not some kind of pressure point technique. Wei Xiao Bei might be someone at the level of cosmic jing but he had never learned the rumored pressure point technique.
The reason why the two people fainted was that Wei Xiao Bei pressed on the arteries of the two people. Because of this, the blood entering the brain would decrease, causing them to faint.
"Doctor Zhang, please wake up."
The two doctors busied themselves while Xu Fei Yang watched. He then hesitantly presented him to Wei Xiao Bei, "This is a doctor from the patient department. Why is Doctor Zhang in a patient"s uniform?"
In truth, when the two doctors shouted, Wei Xiao Bei had understood that he had made a mistake.
The mental patient should be the actual doctor, while the doctor that he caught was the actual patient.
Thinking about this, Wei Xiao Bei blushed a bit. He took two steps forward and pressed on the "human center" acupuncture point of Doctor Zhang. He sent in negative jing that caused Doctor Zhang to shake a bit and slowly woke up.
The doctors and nurses that originally looked at Wei Xiao Bei with anger had already pressed on the same "human center" acupuncture point, but Doctor Zhang did not wake up. Now that they saw Wei Xiao Bei doing the same and woke the person up, they came to an understanding that this person appeared young, but was not a simple person.
When the doctors and nurses greeted the vice-president, Xu Fei Yang, Doctor Zhang had also woken up.
After Xu Fei Yang inquired about the happenings, he could not help but bitterly smile.
The doctor that ran at the front was a mental patient named Pan Zheng En.
Doctor Zhang was originally going to do the rounds, examining people. As a result, he had been careless and was ambushed by a mental patient, which caused him to faint. And then, the patient had exchanged their clothes.
However, because the patient was not truly proficient in fighting, Doctor Zhang was able to wake up the moment the clothes were exchanged, and then he began his pursuit.
In the end, Wei Xiao Bei and Xu Fei Yang understood the situation.
After sending the patient back into the ward, Wei Xiao Bei curiously inquired.
He found out that this mental patient was different from other mental patients.
In appearance, there was no problem with this patient"s mind at all.
This patient could even answer questions normally most of the time. However, if some specialized questions were asked, then problems would happen.
When the patient woke up, Wei Xiao Bei decided to ask some questions through the small window of the door.
"What is your name?"
"My name is w.a.n.g De Long."
"Why are you here?"
"They say that I have a mental disorder."
"Then do you have a mental disorder?"
Hearing Wei Xiao Bei ask this question, Pan Zheng En grasped his hair and thought for a moment, "None. Is there a mental patient that"s as normal as me? In truth, they caught the wrong person. Sigh, this could not be helped. My luck is just so bad that no one would believe me."
Hearing Pan Zheng En"s reply, Wei Xiao Bei could not help but be stunned.
Indeed this person was quite normal. If only his name was answered right, then he would have been let go and no one would know that he was a mental patient.
Wei Xiao Bei had his suspicions that this person might be a normal person that was playing him.
Seeing Wei Xiao Bei"s suspicion, Doctor Zhang could not help but smile and immediately asked the patient, "Who do you think you are?"
