《Physician’s Odyssey》Chapter 280 - I’m buying this mountain
Advertisement
The moment Su Tao and company entered Miao Yugen’s villa, they heard struggles coming from the kitchen. Hence, Liu Jianwei immediately charged forth to take a look. His anger immediately blew up when he saw Fan Lihua’s husband having his pants down and being in a tangle with Liu Ye. Hence, he made a move and threw Miao Yurong out.
When Xiao Jingjing and Shui Junzhuo saw this scene, they immediately turned around, since they were still unwed. Therefore, they did not dare to look at Miao Yurong.
As Liu Ye wore her clothes, she sobbed. Is this the so-called ‘kicking someone when they’re down’?
Miao Zhongtian had also witnessed this scene and felt compassion in his heart. Glancing at Miao Yurong, he cussed, “Fucking scum!”
Even Fan Lihua’s face was pale. Although she no longer has any feelings for Miao Yurong, he was still the father of her daughter. Not to mention that the two of them were still considered husband and wife before the law.
Shaking his head, Miao Zhongtian turned to Fan Lihua, “Lihua, I support you in your decision to divorce Yurong that you told me yesterday!”
Raising her head, Fan Lihua’s eyes flickered with tears. But no one knew if she was touched or was she feeling regret.
When Miao Yurong regained his consciousness, he was startled when he saw so many people in the courtyard. Thus, he immediately dragged his trousers and wanted to escape. However, Liu Ye chased after him and threw a rock over. Being struck by the rock, Miao Yurong shirked and briefly fell on the ground before holding onto his head, which was covered in blood, and continued to run.
Returning to the courtyard, Liu Ye looked at Miao Zhongtian with guilt. “Second Uncle, I’m sorry!”
Waving his hand, Miao Zhongtian sighed, “Physician Su insisted on coming to take a look at Yugen.”
Her tears were filled with regret as Liu Ye explained, “Yugen was forced to do all those bad things. I’ll apologise on his behalf.” As she spoke, she gave a deep bow.
Watching this scene, Su Tao sighed. Liu Ye might seem to be a flirtatious woman, but she was loyal to her husband. Hence, he said, “Although I have been sold out by Miao Yugen, I’ve still decided to save him. It’s against my principle to do things half-heartedly.”
When Liu Ye heard about Su Tao’s superb medical skills, she immediately kneeled. “Physician Su, I’m willing to do anything for you as long as you can treat Yugen.”
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Su Tao replied, “I don’t need you to do anything for me. Do more charity and stop doing any more evil in the future.”

When they entered the house, Miao Yugen had already regained consciousness. When he saw Su Tao, he was first startled before he felt regretful. Su Tao had saved him, but he bit the hand that fed him. Humans are emotional beings. Miao Yugen might be a bad person, but he wasn’t entirely hopeless.
Su Tao sighed when he looked at Miao Yugen’s expression. “I’m treating you out of my responsibility as a physician. I hope that you can be a proper person after you recover.”
After speaking his words, he waved his hand and got everyone to leave the room.
Miao Yugen’s condition was severe, and his treatment yesterday only stabilised Miao Yugen’s condition for the time being. But he still needed acupuncture and medicine to recover completely.
Standing behind Su Tao, Xiao Jingjing’s gaze flickered. She could sense the holiness of a physician from him. Without any lectures, Su Tao gave her a lesson through his actions, the meaning of healing hands, and the compassion of a doctor.
When Su Tao started his acupuncture, it was like the past. His acupuncture was akin to a dazzling performance, and every single movement was precise, as if they were taken out from textbooks. Every single time Xiao Jingjing witnessed Su Tao’s performance, she would gain a new comprehension.
Without her knowing, Su Tao had risen to a saint in her heart. Even the revered Hua Tuo and Bian Que weren’t comparable to Su Tao’s position in her heart.
The fractures on Miao Yugen were secondary, his internal bleeding was more serious. Especially when there was internal bleeding in his head that could put his life in jeopardy if it wasn’t given immediate attention.
In western medicine, surgery would be required. But he naturally did not have the proper environment to operate. Thus, he used his Qi and acupuncture to mediate the flow of blood in Miao Yugen’s head. This wasn’t a simple task, and it took two hours before Miao Yugen was out of danger.
After Su Tao wrote down a prescription, he handed it over to Xiao Jingjing. However, he noticed that she was dazed and jabbed her in her forehead. “What are you thinking?”
Recovering from her daze, Xiao Jingjing stuck her tongue out and smiled. “Master, why did you save him?”
“I didn’t do it for him. I did it for everyone in the village.” Su Tao smiled as he walked out of the room. “If they see my act of kindness, they will have more trust in us. Furthermore, it is also a good deed if I can get Miao Yugen to change.”
Nodding her head, Xiao Jingjing couldn’t fully understand Su Tao’s actions. However, she felt that there must be a reason for that.

“Miao Yugen is temporarily fine, for now. Give the prescription to Liu Ye and have her brew the medicine for him every night. He will recover after half a year of resting!” Su Tao said.
Once again, Liu Ye knelt on the floor and kowtowed her head on the floor as she sobbed, “Physician Su, you’re a living Bodhisattva!”
Supporting Liu Ye up, Su Tao replied, “Remember, you guys must live a different life from the past.”
When he finished his words, he immediately left Miao Yugen’s villa.
Covering her face, tears dripped down Liu Ye’s fingers from being too emotional.
Although Shui Junzhuo was only a spectator, she could sense a peculiar charm from Su Tao. She could feel her heart racing as a gentle smile spread on the corner of her lips.
The story of the farmer and the snake was to warn others to be cautious of who you’re giving charity to, and not everyone would be grateful to you. On the contrary, they might even bite you.
However, Su Tao has issued a statement through his actions. Even if he knew that his patient was a snake, and he would be bitten, he would still give out charity. As for the reason? He’s a physician, not a farmer. Saving lives was the duty of every healer.
“Missy, Physician Su is a foolish good man!” Ah Jun was a soldier, and only enemies and comrades existed in his world. Thus, he couldn't understand Su Tao’s values.
“Only living differently, are we ourselves.” Shui Junzhuo’s eyes flickered as she continued, “Tell grandfather about this matter in full detail.”
Ah Jun sighed, “The old man will surely say that Physician Su is soft-hearted.”
“No, he won’t. Being cruel to the weak is no hero. On the other hand, my grandfather will be touched by his actions.” Shui Junzhuo smiled.
When they returned to Miao Zhongtian’s home, there was a somewhat tattered car parked outside and Miao Zhongtian’s wife came out immediately. “Old Miao, quick! Mr. Leng has been waiting for a long time.”
Upon hearing the words of his wife, Miao Zhongtian, was stunned. Why would a famous official from the town suddenly pay a visit? Thus, he immediately ran into his house. A brief moment later, Leng Yuan walked out and came over to Su Tao and shook hands. “Physician Su, nice to meet you.”
His reason was explicit, he was here for Su Tao. However, Su Tao had never seen this person before, so he was a little awkward. Seeing this, Miao Zhongtian immediately introduced, “This is an official from the town, Leng Yuan.”
After a brief introduction, he was an official just like Xuan Wangjun. However, he would be taking over the matters so that there wouldn’t be any complications. The news of Xuan Wangjun being arrested was just released, and Leng Xuan had already come looking for him in high spirits. Evidently, that meant that he wasn’t in the same camp as Xuan Wangjun, and they’re considered competitors.
Putting it in a nutshell, Su Tao had done him a great favor, which was the reason why Leng Yuan was so polite to him.
Sitting in the living room, Leng Yuan sighed, “I’ve heard about the incident. I represent the organisation to apologise for the troubles you encountered because of Xuan Wangjun.”
Waving his hand, Su Tao smiled. “There are black sheep everywhere. I believe that the number of good people prevails over evildoers in the world. Don’t worry. I won’t hold a grudge because of this matter. Furthermore, I would like to invest in Miao Village.”
“Invest?” Leng Yuan was surprised.
Miao Zhongtian drank tea from the side. He hadn’t reported this matter to the town yet. But since Leng Yuan was here, then they could deal with the issue here. With Leng Yuan’s support, it would be easier in the procedures.
“Yeah, I intend to purchase Miao Village’s mountain.” Su Tao smiled.
“May I ask why you are buying the mountain?” Leng Yuan found it hard to believe, since Miao Village was the most remote village in Baitan Town, and it wasn’t accessible with vehicles. If it was raining, the road would be covered in mud, and they could only walk on foot.
“I’m a Physician, and I have my own pharmacy in Hanzhou City. So I intend to set up a wild medicine garden here.” Su Tao frankly answered.
“That’s a good thing!” Leng Yuan rubbed his hands in excitement. Although the investment from Hans went down the drain, they now had another investment. Regardless of the sum, it would be a decent profit for the organisation.
“As for Miao Village’s roads…” Just when Su Tao was about to ask, he was interrupted by Leng Yuan halfway.
“The funds for the roads have already been allocated a few years ago, but someone had obstructed them from the shadows. Please be reassured. I will handle this matter starting tomorrow and have the road built in three… no, two months!” Leng Yuan smiled.
Even Miao Zhongtian grinned with his yellow teeth revealed. The past two days were really exciting ones with twists and turns. A divine physician came to their village. Not only did he treat everyone in the village suffering from Big-Foot Disease, but he even resolved the road issues that troubled them for years.

The Humble Life of a Skill Trainer
For Joshua Still, Skills were the lifeblood of his business. He wanted to understand them, collect many of them, and teach a few of them. Which was a problem because while his profession of a Skill Trainer was perfectly legal, it was frowned upon by most of the kingdom. After all, it wouldn't do for a non-tailor to teach Tailoring. Or, so says the Tailors Guild. The same could be said by the Blacksmiths, the Bakers, the Butchers, the Candlestick Makers, the Mages, and every other Guild with enough money and clout to complain. But still, Skill Trainers provide a valuable service, and so he has managed to start his business and keep it under the table. To a degree. With many a bribe.

Dominion Expansion (a 4X LitRPG)
Clay is one of the world's top players of 4X games, a genre where the goal is to eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. He's also one of the only players in the world to so stubbornly stick to the one city strategy, a favorite tactic of his that involves only ever using a single city or planet depending on the game's setting. All that matters to him is winning with his favorite strategy, but earning the respect of his fellow players for taking a sub-optimal strategy to its highest level has always been a nice bonus. And now it is because of his skill and entertaining determination that he has been chosen to represent a higher realm in a strategy game where the fate of Earth and dozens of other worlds are at stake. To the victor goes the spoils, and the spoils include entire worlds and billions of lives. That's how he ends up representing the ascended realm of Hell in a grand "game" between an entire pantheon of godly beings and other higher powers. But while it may just be a game to those overseeing it, it is a genuine war for survival to those participating in it where billions of real lives will go to the victor of whoever wins, and many will die before the game is over. Quick Author's Notes: System inspired by Civilization, Endless Legend, Stellaris, and Crusader Kings 2. Combat mechanics inspired by the Total War series. Slow-paced with many long-term plans. Protagonist has a personality heavily inspired by Ron Swanson. Know who that is and love him? You should like Clay. Know who Ron Swanson is and hate him? You'll probably hate Clay. Planning on writing every single day (turn). Days with important things happening will have the system/game mechanics be the priority of the chapter. Days where there isn't really anything important happening will be more slice-of-life and focused on character interactions. Designed a dice-based randomized map generator to create the world as the story goes on, so I don't even know myself exactly what's going to happen as a lot is dependent on world generation. Tech tree with hundreds of technologies already designed. There is a "harem," but it's not the main focus, the girls won't be cardboard cutouts, and I'm not going to completely forget about any previous women in the relationship whenever a new one comes along. One last thing. The "game" starts off with primitive technology level. The current plan is for the "endgame" tech level to be equivilent to WW2-era technology. After that and war just gets boring until you end up in space. Cover is temporary and made from royalty-free stock images while waiting for the real cover's commission to finish.
