Chapter 300 (1/2)
Dogskin Patch (3)
“This is the spot. Don’t stick at the wrong position, and don’t touch the plaster if you’re not using it. Open it only when you are going to use it because it will activate the alchemy formation inside and lose its effectiveness after!” Alvin followed Ye Lang’s instructions to stick the patch on the appropriate location.
“Alright!” Chen Pi nodded, watching Alvin. He felt like something was wrong but he couldn’t place a finger on it.
“Okay! Take these. You look like you don’t have much money with you. If you don’t have any place to stay, just go to the shelter. You will be given food inside, but you must listen to their instructions. They will give you a job, and also pay you,” said Alvin after he packed everything.
The shelter wasn’t just a huge building. It was a huge residential area with thousands of houses. There was even an enormous canteen that provided free meals every day.
However, everyone who lived there must contribute to do what they could!
When these people slowly settled down, the shelter would finally arrange for a new place for them to stay. However, they were places with rent and they had to deal with their own affairs.
Many singles still preferred to live in the shelter because they didn’t have to cook for themselves.
And that was why the number of people inside grew and grew- to a point where there was a problem!
In the end, the Miracle District had to take action. They opened a new residential area for these people also with a cafeteria for food- but it was a profit-earning business and they had to pay for their food. They kept the prices low though.
And that was how the people who ran the cafeterias earned their living, while the singles loved this arrangement. It was a win-win. The news of this town-planning model soon spread across the mainland as the people were very happy.
Once again, Ye Lang hadn’t expected this to happen but he’d single-handedly influenced the entire mainland…
“Alright, I understand. I’ll work, but I don’t want the money. We’re alright if you give us a place to stay and food to eat,” Chen Pi shook his head humbly. He felt like it was already enough for them to provide him with food and shelter.
“Just take the money! This is what you deserve, no one here will exploit you!” huffed Alvin. He opened the door to leave, he had things to do.
“Oh, right,” when Chen Pi answered, Alvin had already left. He picked his mother upon his back, then walked outside.
“Go look for the old man in Room 4, he’ll cure you! Hey, Alvin, what’s this? Aren’t you in charge of assigning the patients?” said Ye Lang, frowning after he had to talk to a patient.
“I did tell them that, but they wouldn’t listen. They wanted you! Not only these people, but there are many people queueing up outside… The rest of the doctors could’ve cured them early on but they didn’t trust them,” sighed Alvin.
It was a common phenomenon. Of course the patients would want the best doctor there. Even if their illness wasn’t very serious, perhaps just a small cold, they still wanted to meet the famous doctor.
Unfortunately, this was a waste of resources.
“They’re all doctors! Why must they come see me? Don’t they know by wasting my time, they’re wasting many other patients’ lives?!” lamented Ye Lang, feeling a headache coming on.
“...” The patients fell silent. They knew they were being selfish, but they were still going to do it anyway.
“Brother, your approach is useless! Let me talk to them! All of you, listen to me! If anyone does this again, where you insist to come here even when you can be treated by other doctors, not only will you not get to meet my brother, we will never treat you ever again in the future!” threatened Ye Lanyu cruelly. She didn’t want her brother to exhaust himself over all these trivial matters.
