He didn’t expect Wang Yao should just say that without any consideration. Some people were just like Dr. Long. They considered themselves the smartest person in the world, while everyone else was stupid.

It was not good to treat other people as idiots. At the end of the day, he would find that the stupid one was himself.

Because of what Wang Yao said, it suddenly became quiet at the dining table, even though the dishes were still warm. Dr. Long looked at him sternly.

It had been a long time since someone spoke to him like this. Even in the province, the senior officers from the medical department treated him with respect. After all, he was a medical expert. No one dared be rude to him.

“Do you believe that one word from me will send you back to that village or quarantine?” Dr. Long asked.

“Wow, I’m so scared,” Wang Mingbao said dramatically.

“Dr. Long, as a medical expert in the provincial hospital and a senior, don’t you feel ashamed of what you have done?” Wang Yao asked.

“Enough!” Dr. Long banged the wine glass on the table. “I tried to be nice to you, but you are such an ungrateful bastard.”

“Try to be nice to me? I heard you made a lot of money recently. Is it from selling a formula? The formula given my me,” Wang Yao said calmly.

“What? From you? Do you have any evidence?” Dr. Long asked.

“So, I’m right about you. I was too naive. I didn’t expect you were still young at heart and vicious,” Wang Yao said.

“I don’t have time to talk nonsense with you,” Dr. Long said.

He then turned around to speak briefly to the officers. He apologized to them and promised to invite them for dinner again. The officers were not stupid. They knew immediately what was going on. They just smiled.

“You wait,” Dr. Long said.

This was a classic line. When Dr. Long reached the exit, he suddenly fell forward. Someone held him up immediately.

“Thank you…” He didn’t expect the person holding him would be Wang Yao.

“When you get old, your mobility declines. Be careful when you go downstairs. It won’t be pretty if you have a fall,” Wang Yao said.

“Hmmm,” Dr. Long said coldly. He then turned around and walked away.

“Don’t forget to pay for the dinner!” Wang Mingbao shouted.

Plump! Bang! Ouch! What’s going on?!

The officers who had just gone downstairs heard sounds behind them. They turned around and saw Dr. Long lying on the ground, like a white swallow landing on the beach. His head came down first. Dr. Long was moaning in pain. He had fallen off the steps with his face landing on the ground first.

“What happened to him?” an officer asked.

“I didn’t see him drink too much,” another officer said.

The officers was dazed. They looked up subconsciously but didn’t anyone upstairs.

He was not kicked by the two young fellows, the officers thought. Then it suddenly occurred to them that they should help Dr. Long stand up.

“Look, what a nasty fall,” an officer said.

Dr. Long’s face had turned blue and purple. The corner of his mouth was bleeding.

“Dr. Long, are you okay?” an officer asked.

“I’m fine,” Dr. Long said.

“Did anyone push you from behind?” another officer asked.

“No, I’m fine.” Dr. Long shook his hand.

It was a strange situation. As Dr. Long was about to go downstairs, he tripped over and fell off the stairs without realizing what had happened.

“Take it easy,” the officer said.

Plump! Bang! Ouch!

The officers were shocked! What is going on?

They just helped Dr. Long stand up. Now, Dr. Long fell when he reached another set of stairs. It was as if he couldn’t control his legs.

Is this habitual falling?

“Did you do it?” Wang Mingbao asked with a cigarette in his mouth as he was looking at poor Dr. Long, whose face was swelling after two falls. He was thrilled.

“You should teach me how to do it,” Wang Mingbao said.

“You won’t be able to grasp it,” Wang Yao said with a smile.

“Dr. Long, shall we take you to the hospital?” an officer asked.

Dr. Long felt giddy and light-headed. Sparks flew before his eyes. His face still landed on the ground first, but the way he felt was different. He was like a dog gnawing its shit. One of his teeth dropped. His mouth was full of blood.

“Please take me to the hospital,” Dr. Long said.

“Okay, be careful,” an officer said while holding Dr. Long’s arm.

Plump!

Dr. Long almost had another fall. Fortunately, someone was holding his arm, so he didn’t kiss the floor again.

“What’s wrong with you?” the officer asked.

The officers weren’t the only ones shocked. Dr. Long himself was shocked. He had this weird condition in which his legs were out of control. It was as if his legs didn’t belong to him.

“Let’s get out of here,” Wang Yao said.

“Excuse me, could you please pay the pill before leaving?” Dr. Long was stopped at the entrance by a waitress.

“You haven’t paid? How shameless you are! You wanna leave without paying?” Wang Mingbao said from behind. He still had the cigarette in his mouth. “Do you guys know who this is? He’s Dr. Long, a medical specialist from the provincial hospital. Hey, Dr. Long, do you think the dishes were delicious?”

“You, you…” Dr. Long felt his heart was thumping rapidly and blood pressure was going up. He wanted to lash out.

“Dr. Long?” An officer standing next to him spoke.

“Fine.” In the end, Dr. Long came to his senses and suppressed his anger. He left the restaurant after making payment.

“Let’s go. We should get out of here, too,” Wang Yao said.

He was not afraid of Dr. Long, but there was no point for him to stay any longer. The true punishment for Dr. Long hadn’t arrived yet.

As Wang Yao was about to drive out of the county, the local policemen stopped him. As for the reason, a policeman explained that he suspected Wang Yao’s vehicle had the virus. Wang Yao’s vehicle was required to be taken into quarantine.

“That old bastard!” Wang Mingbao was furious.

“Well, I’m not surprised,” Wang Yao said.

“What can we do?” Wang Mingbao asked.

“Just follow their rules,” Wang Yao said. His vehicle was taken. He and Wang Mingbao were taken to a room for observation.

There were not many people in the room. All those in the room were infected by the virus.

“Shit, I will get him to pay when I’m out of here,” Wang Mingbao said.

“Don’t worry, he will come to us,” Wang Yao said calmly.

Meanwhile, Dr. Long was taken to a hospital in Jia county.

“Dr. Long, you should be fine now,” a doctor from the hospital said.

The medical staff cleaned the blood and put bandages on the wounds. They couldn’t fix his teeth in the short period of time. Plus, Dr. Long didn’t plan to get his teeth fixed in Jia county.

He still felt dizzy after he got up. He didn’t know why his legs were out of control, but he wouldn’t let Wang Yao and Wang Mingbao off the hook since they were so rude to him in the restaurant. He made a phone call. Given the position he held in the provincial hospital, no one would doubt his words. He told the local policemen that Wang Yao and Wang Mingbao were likely infected with the virus and needed to be taken into quarantine.

He was about to go back to rest. As soon as he walked out of the clinical room, he fell again. Bang! He felt his body was out of control again. Fortunately, he responded soon enough to support his body with his arms.

“What’s wrong with me?” Dr. Long started to panic.

The hospital was quite busy. People passed him in the corridor. Some of them pointed at him. He felt his face was burning hot. No one wanted to make a scene in public.

Dr. Long couldn’t sprawl to the ground forever. He slowly stood up. He then moved forward one step at a time with his hand touching the wall, like a weak elderly patient. Something weird or horrible happened again.

He tripped over once again. Fortunately, he responded fast enough to hold onto the back of a chair.

“This is not right!” His face turned white from red. He was a medical specialist. He thought about a lot of possible causes of frequent falls. Every possibility was horrible.

Why? He had just had a thorough check in the hospital. Until now, he hadn’t linked what happened to him to Wang Yao.

“Hmmm, it’s done!

At the moment, Wang Yao, who was isolated in a room, received unexpected good news. He had completed a mission given by the system.

Mission: Make self known to patients in 1,000 miles in a month.

Status: Complete.

What a coincidence! Wang Yao thought.

“Thank you,” Wang Yao said to Wang Mingbao, who was sitting next to him.

“Hmmm, what for?” Wang Mingbao didn’t expect Wang Yao to thank him out of blue. “Thank me for what? For bringing you in quarantine?”

“No, I want to thank you for taking me to the village. I have obtained a lot during this trip,” Wang Yao said.

“Oh, I see,” Wang Mingbao said with a smile. “It’s nothing.”

Name of the mission: Become a prominent doctor.

Mission details: Become a prominent doctor in an area covering at least 100 miles in circumference.

Reward: A bag of herb seeds.

Punishment of failure: Reduce one attribute to 10 percent.

After Wang Yao had completed one mission, he got a new mission. The new mission would take longer to complete. And, the description was a bit vague.

“What do you mean by a prominent doctor?” Wang Yao asked.

“A doctor recognized by both his patients and medical authority,” the system replied.

“By both patients and medical authority?” Wang Yao was dazed for a moment.

He understood the recognition from patients, which was so-called reputation. However, he was confused about the recognition from medical authority. He didn’t think any health department issued a best practice certificate to a doctor.
