Chapter 1 Fang Yue's Poverty

Fang Yue had only one tael of silver to his name, and hadn't even received his vice-captain benefits yet.

If he were to let this old money-grubber take his pulse, with his forceful buying and selling, he'd probably end up losing even his underwear.

Fang Yue quickly hid behind Lord Han, and as Doctor An chased after him, Lord Han seized his hand.

"Doctor An, stop fooling around. I'll cover Little Ye's expenses. Let's go into the village first to discuss the details."

Doctor An's face lit up with joy. "Great! I like Lord Han – such a generous sucker… uh, I mean, such a great philanthropist!"

The way he put it…

Lord Han remained unfazed, seemingly not caring at all.

But the others couldn't help but feel uneasy, and their impression of Doctor An worsened.

Lin Ling didn't particularly like this money-hungry Doctor An either, but thinking of Hua Wuye, he reluctantly approached him.

"Doctor An, Little Ye is in perfect health, just a minor ailment that your medical skills can easily cure. But there's a captain in the village who urgently needs your help! Otherwise, I'm afraid she won't make it through the night!"

Lin Ling exaggerated Hua Wuye's injuries, which made Doctor An raise an eyebrow.

"What nonsense! Ye Ye's consultation fee is so high… cough! I mean, Ye Ye's qi deviation is so severe, why would I treat a dying person before him? No way! Unless you offer a higher price!"

Damn it!

Lin Ling suddenly understood the homicidal urge that Fang Yue had felt earlier.

He glared at Doctor An, but restrained himself and said, "His qi deviation is already healed! You should treat Hua Wuye first, she's in the most danger!"

Healed?!

Doctor An was shocked.

My consultation fee is gone?!

He quickly tried to take Fang Yue's pulse, scaring Fang Yue so much that he wanted to chop his hand off.

One tael of silver per touch, who can afford that! This guy scams more than I do!

"Doctor An, seriously, stop messing around! Little Ye's qi deviation is indeed healed, but he has other problems now. Let's go into the village first."

"Then my consultation fee…"

"You'll get it."

Doctor An was immediately relieved. As long as he got the money, who cared whether Fang Yue lived or died.

Giving Lord Han a thumbs up, he said, "Awesome! Generous! I like people like Lord Han! Let's go into the village."

Lin Ling said anxiously, "What about Hua Wuye…"

"Are you paying?"

"I… I can't afford the high price."

"No treatment!"

Lord Han said helplessly, "I'll make up the difference. You've seen Hua Wuye before, she's one of the three captains of our village. It's important for the village that she lives."

Important? Then I can charge a higher price!

Doctor An's eyes darted around, and he nodded. "Then we'll save Hua Wuye first!"

Lin Ling looked gratefully at Lord Han, who simply nodded, seemingly not caring about the small loss, as if he were extremely wealthy.

However, as the group began to head back towards the village entrance, Doctor An suddenly said, "Little Ye, help me carry that girl I brought with me into the village."

Doctor An was pointing at Fang Yue, whose expression immediately changed.

Could this old guy be both perverted and greedy?

"What… what do you want to do with her in the village?"

"Study her, maybe even dissect her to see how their structure differs from ours."

Okay, that reason seems plausible.

But Fang Yue didn't think there was much to study. Before the players arrived, this thing was just a corpse.

Carrying the girl, Fang Yue found that this body was actually quite pretty, with pigtails and delicate features, just a little short.

But she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, so she could still grow taller.

The group headed back, and when they reached the village entrance, Doctor An excitedly examined the constantly arriving refugees, finally having Lin Ling and others carry several refugees of different ages into the village.

Theoretically, this was against the rules, but with Lord Han's tacit approval, no one dared to say anything.

This was the advantage of having a skill.

Good medical skills meant you could do whatever you wanted.

The players surrounding the village entrance, like Niu Niu, were filled with envy at this scene.

Who could tell that that Doctor An was bringing several player corpses into the village?

I wonder which players would benefit from these corpses.

You had to know that these first batch of village players had spent a lot of effort to get into the village, while these player corpses didn't have to do anything to enjoy this benefit.

Comparing people is infuriating!

If they hadn't already been angered to death by Fang Yue, they would definitely break down now.

"Maybe only players with lucky gift packages can descend onto those corpses entering the village."

"I bet someone has connections, made a call to the higher-ups, and secretly arranged for their own people to be assigned to those corpses."

"So sour! Rich people can enter the village easily, poor people can only watch!"

"Strongly protesting this unfair mechanism! Resolutely protesting this unfair mechanism!"

"Unfair? Then go talk to Lord Han!"

That person immediately fell silent.

Talk to Lord Han? That wouldn't be enough lives to waste.

Shouting slogans was one thing, but actually arguing with an NPC would probably get you killed. At most, you'd go offline and post on the official forum as a hater.

When Fang Yue and the others entered the village, the guards had already lit the Soulfire Bonfire outside to prevent the refugees from dying from the [Nightchill Invasion], and left people to watch over them, reporting any abnormalities to Lord Han or the captains at any time.

"Brother Ye! Brother Ye! Brother Ye, save me! Don't forget me when you get rich!"

Fang Yue had just entered the village when Niu Niu's loud voice already rang out.

However, he was blocked by the guards and couldn't get in until Fang Yue gave an order, and then he came running over, holding his severed hand and heart.

As soon as he rushed in, he collapsed to the ground with a thud, crying loudly, grabbing Doctor An's leg with tears and snot, lamenting his misery, trying to gain sympathy.

After the operation of bringing refugees into the village at the entrance, Niu Niu wouldn't mistake the person.

But…

"Get lost!! Where did this beggar come from!"

Doctor An kicked Niu Niu away.

No money? You want Doctor An to help without money? He wouldn't even waste his spit on you!

"Doctor An, Doctor An, you have to save me! I'm so miserable, I'm especially miserable, no one in the village is more miserable than me! You have the heart of a healer, please save me!"

Fang Yue remembered that he had thought Niu Niu was sending messages too frantically, so he hadn't replied and forgot to tell him what kind of person Doctor An was.

If you don't have money, Doctor An has a heart of stone.

But if you have money, Doctor An has the heart of a healer.

"No saving, no saving! You look like a poor ghost. Captain Lin, aren't you going to take care of your people?"

Lin Ling wanted to take care of it, because every second that passed, Hua Wuye's condition became more dangerous.

But this person was let in by Fang Yue and obviously knew Fang Yue, so he couldn't drive him away.

Lin Ling looked at Fang Yue, and Lord Han was also waiting for Fang Yue's meaning. Doctor An curiously looked at Fang Yue.

Why did it seem that the people of Gu Yue Village were all subtly seeking Little Ye's opinion? He was just a vice-captain and a patient, at most he was particularly valued by Lord Han.

Could there be some hidden secret?

Several people were staring at Fang Yue, making Fang Yue feel uneasy.

Why are you looking at me? Niu Niu is seeking medical treatment, save him or don't save him, do you want me to pay for the medical expenses?

Just as Fang Yue was thinking, he saw Niu Niu's eyes roll.

"Doctor An, as long as you save me, Brother Ye will help me settle the money problem!"

Fang Yue: !!!
