CHAPTER 447: CHAPTER 447: KINDRED SPIRITS IN SORROW

Dr. Luo raised his hand and thumped Ji You on the head, scolding, "Do you think this is some unscrupulous clinic? I only save lives here, not harm them. 50,000 points, do you want the treatment or not? Hurry up. If not, I’ll have the robots bring a stretcher and carry you out."

Ji You: "..."

Ji You paced back and forth, meticulously counting the points in her account, not missing a single one, and found that there really were only 50,250 points left. Taking away 50,000 points at once, wouldn’t that leave only 250?

What about future life?

Can I even get through the days?

Will I still be able to eat braised pork ribs with rice?

...

While Ji You was struggling to decide, Dr. Luo asked, "Have you made up your mind?"

Ji You, with a pained expression, said, "Dr. Luo, can you give me a discount? Look, I’m a regular customer here, shouldn’t there be some kind of discount?"

Dr. Luo glanced at her elegantly and smiled, "You think it’s an honor to be a regular in the medical room?"

Ji You: "..."

Ji You took a deep breath and tried to plead her case, "How about a small discount? Otherwise, can I work for you in place of payment?"

Dr. Luo pointed to various precise instruments and the well-organized, orderly medical robots and said, "Sorry, there’s no job here suitable for you."

"And—"

"The equipment, medicine, materials needed to treat your body... I’ll give you a detailed list, and once you’ve seen it, you’ll know whether I’ve given you a discount."

Saying this, Dr. Luo directly handed a stack of materials to Ji You.

Ji You only glanced at them for a few seconds, and her eyes twitched.

This—

Every item on this list, the price would shock anyone out there.

Ji You didn’t dare to continue making flippant remarks and resignedly said, "Thank you, Dr. Luo, I accept the treatment..."

Dr. Luo said, "Transfer the funds."

Ji You, wincing at the pain, transferred the points over.

Dr. Luo saw the transfer amount: 49,999 points and couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth, scolding with a laugh, "Can’t you just honestly transfer 50,000 points?"

By now, Ji You wasn’t trying to hide anything, and showed the balance in her account, with a pained face she said, "Teacher... if I transfer 50,000 points to you, the remaining balance in my account won’t sound very nice, you know."

"Oh—" Dr. Luo dragged the word out with an eerie tone, "Even not taking advantage of my 1 point, you seem quite the ’250’." After all, if not for being a ’250’, who else would use their spiritual power for experiments?

Not only that, she also crippled herself.

This is a ’250’ within the ’250s’.

Listening to Dr. Luo’s teasing, Ji You’s heart was filled with bitterness, and her face turned utterly ashen as she accepted Dr. Luo’s treatment...

****

Over here.

Cheng Yu, who had just streamed live last night, got a slap in the face from the audience and was thoroughly disgusted by Cheng Kun once again, slept terribly all night. The next morning, when he had no classes, Cheng Yu got up, glanced at the time, skipped breakfast, and was about to go back to sleep when he suddenly received a message alert from the Light Computer system:[You have an unread message, would you like to check it?]

Cheng Yu said irritably, "No."

System:[Received, you have already rejected the other party twice, do you want to add them to the blacklist? And move this message to the trash?]

Cheng Yu blurted out, "Confirmed."

As soon as he said it, for some reason, a sense of unease flickered in Cheng Yu’s heart, and he quickly said, "Wait."

System:[Deleted. If you need to restore it, please do so manually.]

The Light Computer system operated very quickly, but fortunately, any emails or messages that were deleted within a short time could be restored. As for blacklisted users? Just drag them back.

Cheng Kun’s trashy message was really not worth reading again.

But——

Cheng Yu was still frowning, flipping through his blacklist, his mood very foul, his actions hence somewhat careless, and his eyes wandering without focusing on the blacklist.

Suddenly——

When the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of two characters, Cheng Yu jumped up in shock, "Huh???"

This plump figure, yet surprisingly agile, nearly hit the ceiling with that leap. He didn’t care about the pain in his head and quickly got up to carefully inspect his blacklist.

Within it, the unremarkable words ’Green Glaze’ nearly scared him so much his teeth could have fallen out.

Hiss——

"What have I done?"

"I actually blacklisted Master Green Glaze?"

"When did this happen?"

"Am I brain-dead?"

After this startling realization, Cheng Yu quickly checked the time he had blacklisted them, and his eyeballs almost popped out: "Just now? I blacklisted Master Green Glaze just now?"

"Damn it!"

Thinking of a possibility, Cheng Yu felt like beating himself up: "Was that message from Master Green Glaze?"

Hiss——

After gasping, Cheng Yu no longer cared about appearances and hurriedly retrieved the deleted message from the garbage planet. After seeing it, he was so regretful that he cried tears of sorrow!

"It was last night!"

"Last night Master Green Glaze sent me a message, asking for a favor."

"I..."

"I actually refused her?" Cheng Yu stared with disbelief, not knowing what to do, all the while his heart was in utter chaos. As everyone knows, the temperament of Soul Artifact Masters is usually quite serious, and it’s rare to find one who is amiable and approachable. Therefore, Soul Artifact Masters are one of the most difficult species to approach, and Cheng Yu had previously exhausted a lot of effort just to meet Master Mickey Dodge, to no avail.

This——

Master Green Glaze took the initiative to send me a message, and I just ignored it and threw it into the recycling bin?

If Master Green Glaze knew about this——

Cheng Yu shivered all over, quickly dismissing this terrifying guess!

Without daring to delay for half a second, Cheng Yu immediately sent a message to Master Green Glaze, with a tone that was so ingratiating and cautious, it was simply beyond words...

[Ma... Master, what is it that you wanted to ask of me?]

[Whatever it is you command, Master, just call me directly, there’s no need to worry about disturbing me, any time I have can be shifted to your service, truly.]

[Uh... let me explain quietly, I went to bed rather early last night, so I missed receiving your message, please don’t hold it against me, Master. Not just one favor, even a thousand, ten thousand, I’ll see them done immediately.]

...

Cheng Yu, like a chatterbox, tirelessly sent countless messages to Master Green Glaze, but as for his sent messages——they seemed to sink into the sea without a single response.

"Could it be? Has the Master already found someone else?"

"Yingyingying..."

"Don’t let it be so!"

"Please, let it not be so!"

The mere thought that this potential tragedy had already happened made Cheng Yu’s heart clench in pain so intense he could barely breathe: "Why is my life so miserable?"

However——

What Cheng Yu didn’t know was that, within the same campus and not too far from him, Ji You was lying inside the treatment cabin receiving medical treatment. Thinking about the substantial amount of points she had lost, as well as the potential irreversible spiritual harm, Ji You too felt her heart so pained she couldn’t breathe: "Why is my life so miserable?"
