Chapter 237 The Treatment (3)
“…”
The bellboy stared at Ye Lang, as if wanting to say something but stopping himself . If his colleagues saw him, they’d definitely be very pleased with themselves .
Looks like this ‘generous’ master had forgotten something . And it wasn’t something he could ask for blatantly either- it was up to the customer’s discretion .
However, if he didn’t say something, then he wouldn’t be able to get any tips . And it wasn’t going to be a small amount- probably equivalent to a year’s salary . He couldn’t let this chance slip away!!
After staring at Ye Lang for a long time, he finally made a decision . He was going to beat around the bush for it…
“Uh, sir, anything else?” he asked sheepishly, trying to communicate with Ye Lang through his eyes . However, Ye Lang didn’t look up, focused on Little Xin .
“Nothing, thank you! I’ll call for you if I need anything!” answered Ye Lang, turning around . He then turned back towards Little Xin .
“Sir, are you forgetting something?” reminded the bellboy carefully, frowning .
“What?” Ye Lang looked up in confusion, then shook his head, “Nope!”
“…Think harder!” The bellboy rubbed his hands together, looking at the food on the table, then at Ye Lang .
Ye Lang turned to the food on the table, then as if suddenly understanding everything, “Oh, I know! You don’t have to bring my breakfast up tomorrow . I’ll eat downstairs!”
What do you know? You know nothing!!
The bellboy was about to cry . All that effort for nothing! He felt like he’d probably gotten a lot more if he had served Edward!
He wasn’t about to give up though . He couldn’t let his efforts go down the drain . He must work harder . It didn’t matter if it was shameless, or against the rules . He had to get the money .

He believed this opportunity would be unforgettable . If he missed it, he would’ve regretted it for the rest of his life!
Based on Ye Lang’s spending habits confirmed this!
Hence, the bellboy started to speak again, “Sir, you’re forgetting about this!” He pointed at the coin pouch tied to his waist .
This was almost blatantly asking for money! Anyone must understand what he was hinting at!
Of course, that’s a regular person . Others might not…
“…” Ye Lang regarded where he was pointing at, “Oh…”
His wiggled a finger as if saying ‘I know, I know!’
The bellboy was moved to tears . A moment later, he almost wanted to kill himself…
“You have a problem with your hip? I can take a look…”
“…”
Brother, are you pretending to be stupid, or are you truly stupid?
The bellboy was about to directly ask Ye Lang about the tip but soon changed his mind . Perhaps he could later say he’d ‘just remembered something’ .
Ye Lang declared solemnly, “There’s a problem with your kidneys, that’s why it’s affecting your hips . If you don’t do something about it soon, you’ll have kidney failure . It’s fatal!”
“Also, even if that didn’t happen, it would affect your reproductive abilities . You might not be able to have children…”
Was it THAT severe? If someone asked, Ye Lang would’ve said, ‘No, it’s just a small matter . He just needs a little adjustment in his lifestyle . ”
He was still giving diagnosis by the book though . It was true . If small matters were not fixed, they could end up becoming something very serious .
“Sir, can you save me then?” asked the bellboy, panicking . He did feel like there was a problem with his body recently . After hearing what Ye Lang said, he was scared to death .

“You’ve met me, therefore you’ll definitely be saved . I’ll prescribe a little medicine for you . Take them punctually for a month . Then remember to eat more vegetables, lesser meat . Jog at least 30 minutes every morning, then take a 10-minute walk . Regulate your breathing…” said Ye Lang as he took a pen out and started to write on the hotel’s complimentary notepad .
Anyone could do all of this and benefit from it!
“As long as I do this, I’ll get better?” asked the bellboy, tearfully grabbing Ye Lang’s hand . He got the answer he wanted .
“Yep! I promise you’ll get better!” nodded Ye Lang . He only had to eat the medicine and the boy would get better . The rest was just him keeping his body healthy so he would get stronger .
“Thank you, sir! If you don’t mind, this is just a small payment for your troubles!!” The bellboy gave all the money he had on him to Ye Lang, emotional .
Seeing the doctor was expensive, and would definitely cost him a lot more than what he had right now .
“No, I don’t accept money . It was a small matter, no worries!” answered Ye Lang as he refused the payment .
“Sir, you must accept it! You’re basically my second parent . Without you, there’s no me!” The bellboy was now so emotional he was bawling .
Really? Was this necessary? Ye Lang didn’t understand . What did he say that scared this boy that much? It seemed like he’d just saved a dying patient’s life .
“If you insist, I’ll accept it,” he accepted the payment . Although he was a prodigal, it didn’t mean he couldn’t ever accept cash .
If he didn’t, then his assets wouldn’t have grown as much as it did!
He was merely against taking advantage of another person, only accepting money he deserved .
Although it wasn’t a severe illness, it still took effort on his side . A doctor would usually cost a lot more than this- and might not even be as good as himself . Therefore, Ye Lang felt good about accepting this payment .
Things took a peculiar turn very soon…
“Hmm? Why did I…” It was only after this incident that the bellboy realised he didn’t earn a single tip but rather paid for a diagnosis .
Then again, it wasn’t a complete loss for him . It hurt his pride though…
The only thing the bellboy could confirm was that this very generous rich man was a doctor . Although he didn’t know how good of a doctor Ye Lang was, he should be decent- decent enough to cure his illness!

Viridescent Core
Some mortals see dungeons as a plague to destroy. Some mortals see dungeons as a resource to manage and harvest. Some mortals see dungeons as a place to train and advance. However, all of them agree on something. Dungeons are unnatural and deadly. Places where death stalks every corner and monsters thrive. What mortals forget, in their hubris of tools and civilizations, is that Mother Nature is often the deadliest of all. Feel free to write any comment, suggestion, or criticism. I read and appreciate every single one! Releases are on Mondays and Thursdays. With occasional bonus chapters on Saturdays. Have a nice day ^^

Besotted
Jericho never thought about gaining superpowers. Like everyone else in society, he simply expected his abilities to manifest on their own, but they never did. With the help of his doctor, it looks like Jericho finally hit a breakthrough, and after a few years of being powerless, things might start looking up for him. Join Jericho and others as they interact in this world where everyone has extraordinary abilities. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ HIATUS NOTE (Please read): Starting June, I will be going on a summer hiatus (around 3 months) to focus on my future career and set myself up to succeed in school. I will still be writing in the meantime and creating a backlog, but I won't be posting chapters. I apologize for this. I wish there was another way. Note: This story has multiple POVs, but the main one is Jericho. The MC grows and develops throughout the story and isn't instantly OP. I try to write ~1500 words per chapter but I write according to what I feel is suitable. (Could be more. Could be less). The content warning tags are mostly for flexible writing, but do expect it or something of the sort. This is a story suitable for older teens and adults. Schedule: New chapter every other Sunday (sometimes Monday if I'm a bit behind).

The Faction Contributor [Sci-Fi LitRPG]
While casually studying for his upcoming university exam, Aven suddenly felt the world around him start warping. It started with flashes of light appearing from nowhere, quickly escalating into his whole world becoming an absolute mess of flickering pixels and chaotic color flows, as if reality had become a malfunctioning glitched screen. What he could recognize as numbers, letters, and strange symbols flew everywhere around him, obviously trying to form a coherent whole to be displayed before his eyes, but such attempts kept failing, again and again. Before he could even start thinking about how both mesmerizing and absurd this spectacle was, however, it all stopped, as suddenly as it had begun. Accompanying the end of this unique show, 2 things happened. First, knowledge had spontaneously appeared in his mind and he could perfectly understand it, as if it had always been there, just inaccessible. Second, a weird simultaneously hot and cold energy had made its apparition inside his body completely unannounced. Aven had just simply and purely awakened his innate ability and the energy potential of his cells, joining the world of the supers, a minority that had always controlled and protected the world since ancient times, by becoming one of them. *** Do you have a sci-fi itch to scratch? Maybe that story can help~ It’s not a comic story that doesn’t take itself seriously. It’s also not a grimdark story, going to the depth of making sure the environment is the worst one ever. It’s just a serious story, a rational one, one you can comfortably dive into, written by a guy who already got some writing experience by having seriously written more than 2 000 pages of another serious story prior to starting this one. Enjoy *** Update: 3 chapters every week (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) Chapters: Around 3 000 words each.
