Weird Rules Rumor: At The Beginning, He Insisted That He Was Not Dead
Chapter 127: Healing Town (4)

“I need to clarify,” Fan Zhi Yi said, looking very serious. “The guide you’re talking about, is it a legitimate, serious guide?”

Bai Lian nodded. “If it’s not a serious one, that’s fine too.”

“Then why don’t you do it yourself?” Fan Zhi Yi looked closely at Bai Lian’s face and continued with sound reasoning, “In your position as a patient, especially with such a handsome face, it would be easy for you to win their attention.”

Bai Lian smiled slightly and replied, “If I have a guard, why should I act myself? If I can do everything myself, why would I need a guard? It’s logical, isn’t it?”

“And now that you’re representing me, if you ‘win them over,’ it’s the same as me ‘winning them over.’ The process doesn't matter, only the result.”

A look of understanding appeared in Fan Zhi Yi’s eyes.

“So, you’re saying if it’s not a serious approach, and I win them over, and then you, as my employer, win me over… then you’ve indirectly won them over too?”

“I didn't say that; you came up with it yourself,” Bai Lian nearly choked on his saliva. This guard was truly unusual; she’d thought of something he hadn’t even considered.

However, it seemed like it could actually work. If he followed her suggestion, would it mean he had truly “won over” the doctor and the nurse?

Seeing his thoughtful expression, Fan Zhi Yi crossed her arms.

“Judging by your look, are you actually considering the possibility of this approach?”

“I’m not… not thinking about it,” Bai Lian hastily denied the thought and quickly changed the subject. “When are you going to make your move?”

Fan Zhi Yi waved her hand.

“What?” Bai Lian looked at her, puzzled, not understanding what she meant.

“Money,” Fan Zhi Yi said. “In the hospital, to use the doctors’ and nurses’ time, you have to pay a certain amount, and that money must be paid by you.”

Great, this hospital completely followed the principles of capitalism; they even charged for a conversation.

Bai Lian took out his black card and, looking at Fan Zhi Yi, asked, “What’s the payment method?”

Hearing this, Fan Zhi Yi held out her hand and pointed to a black, watch-like object on her wrist, saying, “Just touch it to this and state the amount in your mind.”

“It really works like that?” Bai Lian looked at the object in surprise.

He had noticed Fan Zhi Yi had something on her wrist long ago, thinking it was just a watch, but hadn't paid it much attention. He didn't expect the device to be used as a payment terminal.

Bai Lian touched his black card to the object and, after mentally stating the sum of one million, a “beep” sound was heard a second later, indicating a successful transfer.

“Thank you for your generosity,” Fan Zhi Yi said, raising her arm to look at the screen on her “watch-POS.” “I will gauge the progress based on the amount you provide. When the money runs out, I will inform you in advance and stop the process… stop…”

She suddenly fell silent, her voice trailing off.

“A… a million?!” Fan Zhi Yi’s eyes widened as she stared at the long string of numbers. She couldn’t believe her eyes!

It was worth noting that Healing Town had a fully developed financial system, and money was an essential condition for everyone's survival. Everything from food and housing to transportation required money. Without it, survival in this town was simply impossible.

She worked as a bodyguard, providing protection to many people, and her monthly salary barely reached ten thousand, which was considered a rather high income in this town.

But what was she seeing now?

A million! A million, enough to last a lifetime!

And there would be no “stopping”—the job wouldn't end until it was done!

“What did you just say?” Bai Lian looked at her, confused, not understanding why she had stopped mid-sentence.

Hearing his words, Fan Zhi Yi tried to compose herself. She looked unusually serious and said, “Dear client, from this moment on, I will be your most loyal guard. Whatever happens, please do not hesitate to give me your instructions!”

The famous philosopher Vodzki Shod once said: “For ten thousand coins, I’m your man today. For twenty thousand, don’t treat me as a man today. For thirty thousand, it doesn’t matter how many you bring. For forty thousand, it doesn’t matter if they’re even human!”

So what did this one million mean to Bai Lian?

Only one phrase echoed in Fan Zhi Yi’s mind: “I, Zhi Yi, have wandered for half my life, my only regret being that I never met a worthy master. If you will not cast me aside, I am willing to acknowledge you as my teacher!”

Seeing her like this, Bai Lian realized his billion was on the level of absolute power!

He immediately said, “Alright, first, move me to the best ward and have the most beautiful nurse in this hospital take care of me!”

“Yes!”

Fan Zhi Yi nodded and, pushing aside the curtain, walked out.

While Bai Lian and Fan Zhi Yi were talking, the roommate, Zhou Hong, who was not associated with Zhi Yi, was also communicating with his own bodyguard.

He had also realized the importance of money in this dungeon, and that whoever had money could command everything, while those without would struggle just to survive in this hospital.

After finishing his conversation, he saw Fan Zhi Yi walk out.

Looking at Bai Lian, Zhou Hong thought for a moment and decided to build a good relationship with him. He smiled and said, “Buddy, I’ve noticed something.”

“What’s the problem?”

Bai Lian turned to look at him. He didn’t see Zhou Hong as a threat, considering him an ordinary player he could interact with, but it was wise to be cautious.

“I’ve noticed that money is very important in this dungeon, and our starting amount is only 1,000 coins, which means, considering the guard’s fee and medical expenses, we only have enough for three days.”

Zhou Hong’s reasoning was logical and nearly matched Bai Lian’s own analysis.

“If we assume the first day is free, that gives us a total of four days, and we need to find a way to earn money within that time.”

Bai Lian nodded upon hearing this. “Have you figured out how to earn money yet?”

“No,” Zhou Hong shook his head, “have you?”

“Me neither,” Bai Lian also shook his head.

Zhou Hong forced a smile. “It’s alright, it’s only the first day. No need to rush.”

A short while later, Fan Zhi Yi returned.

Following her were a beautiful female doctor and four nurses, each a true beauty in both figure and appearance.

Seeing this, Zhou Hong’s eyes widened, and he hurried to say to Bai Lian, “Bro, holy crap, the doctors and nurses in this hospital are top-notch! Looks like they’re all from our department. We’re in for a treat now!”

Bai Lian agreed and nodded. “They really are top-notch.”

“Right?” Zhou Hong chuckled and added with a hint of regret, “Before I ended up in this Mysterious World, I’d never even held a girl’s hand. And now, seeing such beauties, I can’t even go up and say hello.”

“I never thought that after ending up in the Mysterious World, I’d get to enjoy being cared for by beautiful women. Life is truly unpredictable.”
