The System Is One Year Ahead Of Schedule, But It’S Not The End Of The World Yet!

Chapter 60: Reverting to Original Form?! (Part 2, 25)

Seeing Chen Mo closing his eyes to rest, Du Zixi and Du Zihang didn't dare to disturb him. Du Zixi followed Chen Mo's instructions and removed all the silver needles from Du Renyuan's body. After detoxifying him, she put the needles back into Chen Mo's acupuncture bag.

"Will Dr. Chen be alright?" Du Zixi asked with some concern.

"He exhausted a lot of energy yesterday while treating Liu Yuanzong's illness. He rested for quite some time," Du Zihang recalled. "I was waiting at the Liu family's house yesterday and saw Dr. Chen finally come out after a while. He still looked weak, which shows that treating a seriously ill patient must have depleted a significant amount of his energy."

"Zixi, go get a blanket and cover Dr. Chen. His body is weak from the energy depletion, and he might catch a cold if he continues to rest like this," Du Renyuan, who understood how to take care of people, said.

Yesterday, Liu Yuanzong also found a blanket to cover Chen Mo, fearing that he might catch a cold.

Du Zixi understood and immediately went to get a blanket, but her small hand was suddenly grabbed by someone.

She turned her head and saw Chen Mo opening his eyes.

"No need, I just need to rest for a minute, and I'll recover," he said.

Seeing this, the three of them didn't say anything further.

They could only silently wait by his side.

After seeing that Chen Mo was fine, Du Zixi and Du Zihang immediately turned their attention to Du Renyuan.

Seemingly asking about his condition, Du Renyuan smiled and stood up from the sickbed, showing them his recovery.

Seeing Du Renyuan's transformation from seriously ill to energetic in such a short time, Du Zihang and Du Zixi were both shocked by Chen Mo's medical skills.

They had only heard about it before, but now they witnessed it with their own eyes. Was his medical skill truly this astonishing?

To treat a terminally ill patient so simply and efficiently?

And even have the effect of strengthening the body's foundation and cultivating vitality? Allowing a seriously ill patient to become lively and energetic?

This truly made them feel incredulous.

But since their father was able to recover from his illness, they naturally felt happy.

While the Du family was celebrating Du Renyuan's recovery, Chen Mo, who was resting, was listening to the system's announcement.

[System Prompt: Detected that the host dared to risk his life to cure the Rank Nine Corpse King. Your courage is astonishing. As a reward, you will receive 1000 survival points.]

[System Prompt: Detected that the Rank Nine Corpse King was suffering from a terminal illness. This illness could have increased the Rank Nine Corpse King's combat power by 50%. However, after you cured it, the Rank Nine Corpse King's combat power returned to normal. Your method of weakening the enhanced version of the Rank Nine Corpse King without shedding blood is transcendent and awe-inspiring. As a special exception, a special reward is hereby given to the host.]

Congratulations to the host for receiving an "SSS Level Gift Package"!]

"Haha!?"

Chen Mo had anticipated that curing the Rank Nine Corpse King would bring him certain rewards, but he never expected to receive such a special reward in this way.

It turns out that the terminal illness of emotions on Du Renyuan's body, as long as he holds on until the end of the world and becomes a Corpse Monster, will actually become his assistance, the main reason for his increase in combat power, allowing him to ultimately evolve into an enhanced version of the Rank Nine Corpse King.

But now, after being cured by himself, the strengthening effect has been completely wiped out, and he has returned to being an ordinary Corpse King.

This is something that Chen Mo never expected.

However, being able to receive an SSS Level gift package reward for free naturally made Chen Mo happy.

After all, according to the conversion of survival points rewards, if he were to buy so many SSS Level gift packages, he wouldn't know how many billions of survival points he would have to spend.

And now he has received so many for free.

In addition to triggering the special reward, Chen Mo also gained an increase in goodwill from Du Renyuan, Du Zihang, and Du Zixi.

Of course, Du Renyuan is a Corpse King, so his goodwill is of no use.

Du Zihang is a low-level Metahuman, so his goodwill is not of much use either.

The main one is Du Zixi's goodwill, which is more useful.

She is a Rank Five Anomalous Being, and Anomalous Beings are those who have human intelligence. It is only after deep transformation that they may lose their sanity, so their goodwill is still useful.

[System Prompt: Due to your treatment of Du Renyuan, you have gained a 20-point increase in goodwill from Rank Three Metahuman Du Zihang, and your current goodwill is 80 points - reaching respect. You have gained a 20-point increase in goodwill from Rank Five Anomalous Being Du Zixi... reaching respect. You have gained a 20-point increase in favorability from Rank Five Anomalous Being Du Zixi, and her favorability towards you has increased to fondness... You have gained a 20-point increase in goodwill from Rank Nine Corpse King Du Renyuan... reaching respect. However, since Rank Nine Corpse King has completely lost his humanity and does not have emotional receptors, his goodwill towards you is considered invalid.]

This is the current increase, and when the news of Du Renyuan's recovery spreads, Chen Mo will also gain goodwill from Du Renyuan's other three children, as well as from those who have a good relationship with Du Renyuan.

Just like when Wei Changfeng was treated.

However, similarly, this kind of goodwill gained through saving others is only a kind of goodwill given out of gratitude, and it cannot reach the depth of life and death friendship.

Chen Mo doesn't care about the goodwill of others, he only cares about Du Zixi's goodwill increase.

Since the goodwill has only reached the level of fondness and has not yet reached admiration, the system did not immediately release a reward for Chen Mo.

"It seems that it's difficult to obtain rewards without a goodwill of over 90 points."

Chen Mo is not very concerned, as the fondness level has already reached 80 points.

Just a little more improvement will do.

After checking the benefits, Chen Mo had enough time to use Ultra Speed Recovery to recover his mental state.

After confirming that his mental state has recovered, Chen Mo stood up and made a gesture of closing his cultivation, saying, "After practicing, I have recovered quite a bit."

After saying that, he looked at Du Renyuan and asked, "How about it? Mr. Du, how is your recovery?"

Du Renyuan excitedly held Chen Mo's hand and said, "Dr. Chen, you truly live up to your reputation. You can truly be called the number one divine doctor of this era. After being treated by you, not only has my serious illness been cured, but even some old injuries from the past have also been healed.

Now I feel energetic and full of vitality, simply couldn't be better."

"That's good," Chen Mo nodded with a smile.

At this moment, Du Renyuan immediately glanced at Du Zihang, who quickly understood and handed a check to Chen Mo.

"Dr. Chen, this is a one billion yuan check. Please accept it as a token of our gratitude."

"One billion!? Isn't that too much?" Chen Mo knew that Qing Society was doing well in the Magic City, but he didn't know they were so wealthy.

This was a whole billion, given directly.

Chen Mo originally thought that a few million would be considered a lot.

"Not at all, it's not too much at all. Compared to my father's life, this one billion yuan reward is nothing," Du Zihang said. "You saved his life, and this reward is just a gesture."

"In the future, in the Magic City, as long as you have any orders, Qing Society will spare no effort to fulfill them."

"And all of our industries in Qing Society are open to you for free. This is our Supreme Gold Card. Please keep it. With this card, entering any of our industries in Qing Society is equivalent to my father's personal arrival. They will provide you with the best service."

After speaking, Du Zihang handed Chen Mo a gold card that was obviously made of pure gold, shining brightly and looking beautiful.

"Well then, I will accept them all without hesitation," Chen Mo said as he took the check and the gold card.

Don't let go of money, even if it's given for free. Don't waste free money.

"We were actually afraid that you would be too polite. By accepting them, you are giving us the greatest face," Du Renyuan laughed on the side.

But to be honest, let alone one billion, Chen Mo didn't even know what the concept of one million was.

Anyway, money now was simply represented by a string of numbers for him. The apocalypse would come in half a year, and no matter how much money he saved, it would be useless. Accumulating wealth now was just a capital for climbing up.

At the same time, Chen Mo had also considered the matter of building a survival fortress before the apocalypse. This also required the accumulation of money.

Building a survival fortress that was not afraid of nuclear bombs couldn't be done with just one or two billion.

But before doing this, what he wanted most now was to obtain information about the mysterious biotech company that caused the global bio-crisis.

After accepting the money, Du Renyuan immediately said, "It's noon and you rushed here in such a hurry, since you haven't had lunch yet, it's perfect. I have a restaurant called Du Yuan Restaurant under my name, and it used to have a chef who served at state banquets. The cooking is decent. Why don't you have lunch there for now?"

"In the future, I will hold a thank-you banquet for you and properly express our gratitude."

"No need, I'm not good at socializing, and I dislike crowded occasions. I'll just go to a nearby restaurant for a meal," Chen Mo declined the future thank-you banquet.

Although attending such banquets could increase his social circle, Chen Mo didn't want to cheapen himself too much.

The reason he agreed to help these three times was because Liu Yuanzong was Liu Qinlan's grandfather, and they could be considered friends. When a friend's grandfather was critically ill, it was only natural for Chen Mo to lend a hand.

As for the second time, Wei Lao was a hero who had shed blood and suffered injuries for the country. Now that the country was stable, it was thanks to the sacrifices of those martyrs. Chen Mo would naturally not forget their kindness. So when Wei Lao's matter was brought to him, he naturally couldn't refuse.

The third time was Du Renyuan. Du Renyuan's identity was special, and Chen Mo had the intention of establishing a relationship with him. In addition, Du Zihang had previously sought his help, and now, because of this intervention, Zhao Yue could gain Du Renyuan's closeness. It could be considered directly merging the two major forces in the Magic City.

The impact of this is significant, as it lays the foundation for Chen Mo's future advancement.

Therefore, for these three individuals, he didn't discuss any conditions and immediately took action to save them.

But it won't be easy for those high-ranking officials and influential people to ask him for help in the future.

If he doesn't raise his price, everyone will think he's just a medical package that can be called upon at any time.

People need to understand his value in order to appreciate him more.

That's why Chen Mo doesn't want to attend this kind of banquet. He doesn't want to expose himself to these people too early and engage in casual socializing.

If someone wants to establish a relationship with him, they'll have to rely on connections.

Seeing that Chen Mo refused the banquet but agreed to have dinner at a nearby restaurant, Du Renyuan immediately smiled and took out his phone, dialing the general manager of Du Yuan Restaurant to prepare a sumptuous meal to entertain the distinguished guest.

Du Renyuan has long been absent from the public eye, and many people say he's seriously ill and won't last long.

The general manager of Du Yuan Restaurant was a bit stunned when he suddenly received a call from Du Renyuan asking him to prepare a sumptuous meal to entertain a distinguished guest.

"Previously, there were rumors that Mr. Du was pretending to be sick to settle some disobedient people within the company. Has he already targeted someone and decided not to pretend anymore, but to come out of hiding?"

Thinking of this possibility, the general manager couldn't afford to be negligent. He was also very curious about who the distinguished guest mentioned by Du Renyuan could be.

Usually, even if Du Renyuan wants to entertain someone, it's usually his children who call and ask him to prepare a private room and dishes.

It's rare for Du Renyuan to call himself, let alone use the respectful tone of "distinguished guest."

The general manager couldn't imagine who could be so highly regarded by Du Renyuan. Could it be someone from the capital?

If that's the case, they definitely can't be careless.

He immediately agreed and quickly rushed to the VIP kitchen, saying, "A distinguished guest is coming soon. Everyone, mobilize and prepare the banquet dishes according to the highest standards of our restaurant!"

The VIP kitchen is rarely used because it's only used when Du Renyuan and his children need to entertain guests, and it's where all the dishes are prepared.

This kitchen usually prepares some special dishes in advance and serves them when needed.

If they're not used on the same day, all the ingredients will be transferred to the Low Grade kitchen, which maintains the highest standards and supplies the freshest ingredients.

In Du Renyuan's bedroom, after making the call, Du Renyuan immediately smiled and said, "Dr. Chen, the restaurant has been instructed. When we drive over, we should be able to eat right away."

"That's fast. I'm hungry."

"I'm really sorry for making you come on an empty stomach."

"But I called you myself, and it's not like you asked me to come at this time. It's not your fault." Chen Mo shook his head and smiled.

After exchanging pleasantries, Du Renyuan's expression turned serious as he said to Chen Mo, "Dr. Chen, I've heard that there have been some significant changes in the Tang Group recently. The Hong family has sent a number of people to monitor our Qing Society and Yellow Robe Society, ensuring that we don't make any moves. It seems they have some plans regarding Yang Liuxin.

They have also brought in a group of people from outside, and they have been in close contact with the capital. The forces from the capital have already started to interfere in Shanghai. These families and groups are deeply intertwined with many local families and groups in Shanghai. If they join forces, it could cause quite a bit of trouble."
