“Let me know if you need me,” said Tong Wei . She wanted to stay, but she didn’t think she would be much of a help anyway . She decided to go home since her parents might be worried about her .

“Okay . I’ll drive you home . ” Wang Yao drove Tong Wei home, then left after staying at her place for a short while .
“How come you stayed at his place for so many days?” asked Tong Wei’s parents after Wang Yao had gone .
“Nothing big . There were some issues with his house, so I stayed for a few extra days,” said Tong Wei .
“What issues?” asked her parents .
“He built a house in the village, and it caught fire, so he needs it to be fixed,” said Tong Wei .
“He built a house in the village? He’s not gonna buy a place in the town center?” asked her mother .
“He didn’t say that, but I think it’s pretty nice to live in the village,” said Tong Wei .
After what had happened the other night, Tong Wei thought it was quite nice to live in the village . People knew one another, helped one another . In the town center, people just say hello to their neighbors living in the same building . They probably didn’t visit one another for a whole year .
“Silly girl, what are you talking about?” Tong Wei’s mother immediately tried to correct her daughter’s point of view .
“I was just saying,” said Tong Wei .
Wang Yao didn’t rush home after he had left Tong Wei’s place . Instead, he drove to Wang Mingbao’s store . When he arrived at Wang Mingbao’s store, he happened to see Shen Qingqing running out of the store with tears in her eyes .
When he entered Wang Mingbao’s office, Wang Mingbao was smoking . He didn’t look happy, either .
“You’ve spoken to her?” asked Wang Yao .
“Yes, I’ve told her that I know her history . She tried to explain . I didn’t want to listen,” said Wang Mingbao .
Wang Yao didn’t say anything .
“What brings you here anyway?” asked Wang Mingbao .
“Can you ask about the status of the three guys who had been causing trouble for us? I want to know when they will be out of the jail,” said Wang Yao .
“No problem,” said Wang Mingbao .
He made the phone call right away .
It was late afternoon by the time Wang Yao had arrived home . He found Chen Boyuan in his house .
“Hey, you are back . He’s been waiting for you for over an hour,” said Zhang Xiuying .

“Hi, what brings you here?” asked Wang Yao .
“Here you are . My wife asked me to give this to you . ” Chen Boyuan handed Wang Yao an envelope .
Wang Yao opened it .
It was his medical certificate .
He was thrilled .
This is fantastic!
“What’s going on, Dr . Wang?” asked Chen Boyuan softly as Wang Yao’s looked a bit weird .
“Nothing, nothing . Thank you very much,” said Wang Yao .
“That’s alright . My job is just to deliver this to you . You should thank Ms . Song . She arranged it,” said Chen Boyuan .
“I see . I will thank her in person,” said Wang Yao .
“If there is nothing else you want me to you, I need to go now,” said Chen Boyuan .
“Okay, see you later . ” Wang Yao walked Chen Boyuan out of the house . He didn’t expect his medical certificate would arrive so soon .
Mission (Doing things with a good reason): Obtaining the medical certificate in ten months .
Reward: A medical book .
Punishment of failure: Taking back the ancient spring water . Reduce any two attributes by half .

He received the prompts from the system .
So I’ve completed the mission?
He had never completed any missions so unexpectedly . It was like what happened in the movies or novels, just not serious enough .
Complete!
The system did tell him he had completed the mission .

According to the missions he had completed previously, the mission of obtaining the medical certificate shouldn’t be an easy job . The system allowed him ten months to complete it . He didn’t expect he could complete it so quickly .
Wang Yao was rewarded of a medical book .
Which medical book?
Wang Yao went inside his room . He took a book out of the system . The name of the book was written in ancient Chinese: Treatise on Miscellaneous Diseases .
Wang Yao had never heard of this book . He knew Zhang Zhongjing, a famous Chinese Traditional Medical Practitioner in ancient China wrote a book called Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases . The book had always been highly regarded by all the Chinese Traditional Medical Practitioners . However, only a part of the book passed from generations to generations . The original book had long vanished, once Zhang Zhongjing had passed away .
Wang Yao couldn’t wait to read the book . He found that apart from the medical theory, there were also quite a few weird cases documented in the book . It seemed to be a notebook from an ancient practitioner . There were a lot of contents in the book, most of which Wang Yao had never read before .
Great!
The book was like a treasure trove .
Wang Yao kept reading the book . He was so into it that he forgot about the time .
The cases in the book were in great detail . Most cases were about rare diseases . For example, in one case, the female patient had severe stomach pain . She was vomiting and had diarrhea for months . She was given Mafei powder to take and a tumor was taken out of her stomach . The tumor was as big as a duck egg . Inside it there was stinky black water . After the incision was stitched up, the patient gradually recovered a few months later .
The treatment process was documented in details, including the herbal formula involved . Wang Yao even found the formula of Mafei powder .
The further Wang Yao read, the more he was interested in the book . He only realized it was late when his mother asked him to have dinner .
“What are you doing inside? I called you three times,” said Zhang Xiuying .
“Oh, I was reading a book and forgot about the time,” said Wang Yao .
“Come and have dinner,” said Zhang Xiuying .
The police had found the arsonists, so Wang Yao’s parents felt a bit better .
“Why did he set the fire?” asked Zhang Xiuying .
“Because of me,” said Wang Yao . “It was a medical incident . ”
“Something went wrong when you treated him?” asked Zhang Xiuying .
“No, I didn’t treat him,” said Wang Yao with a smile .
“Why not?” asked Zhang Xiuying .

“He was not worth my time to treat him . Anyway, I don’t want to talk about it . Let’s eat,” said Wang Yao .
His parents didn’t ask anymore questions .
Wang Yao gave each of his parents a massage to help them relax after dinner . Then he went back to Nanshan Hill .
After he had gone back to Nanshan Hill, he walked around the hill before going back to his cottage . As soon as he had gone back to his cottage . He read Treatise on Miscellaneous Diseases until late night . He noticed it was already midnight, so he turned off the light and went to sleep .
“Shit!”
The person who arranged to set Wang Yao’s clinic on fire was cursing in a boutique apartment in Haiqu .
Pa! He threw a glass on the floor .
“What else can you do?!”
He was shouting like a mad dog .
It was not over yet .
He wouldn’t let Wang Yao off the hook .
The next day, Wang Yao went to the town center to ask about opening a clinic in the village . Li Maoshuang knew someone who could help Wang Yao .
“Clinic? Medical clinic?” asked Li Maoshuang’s friend .
“Yes,” said Wang Yao .
Li Maoshuang’s friend told Wang Yao that he needed to complete a number of forms, then submit relevant paperwork to the Health Department in the city . It took Wang Yao a whole day to complete all the forms and paperwork with assistance .
“This is already quick enough,” said Li Maoshuang with a smile after Wang Yao had submitted all the paperwork .
“Normally it will take at least two to three days,” added Li Maoshuang .
“I see . Thank you . Shall we have dinner together?” asked Wang Yao .
“No, thanks . I’ve got other plans tonight,” said Li Maoshuang .
“Okay, I’ll catch up with you later,” said Wang Yao .
“Sounds good,” said Li Maoshuang .
Now that Wang Yao had had the medical certificate and permit to run a medical clinic, his clinic could officially open . He decided to call it Nanshan Clinic .
It was 5 pm when Wang Yao arrived at home .
He found his mother looked upset .
“What’s wrong, Mom? You are not well?” asked Wang Yao .
“Your uncle’s wife has passed away,” said Zhang Xiuying sadly .
“Passed away? Wenbao’s mom?” asked Wang Yao .
“Yes, she died this afternoon,” said Zhang Xiuying .
Wang Yao didn’t speak .
“The disease won, in the end,” said Zhang Xiuying . “Can you come with me to your uncle’s place tomorrow?”
“Okay,” said Wang Yao .
Wenbao’s wedding was only a few days ago . Now they were having a funeral . Wang Yao didn’t know what Wenbao’s wife would think .
Wang Yao found a case of cancer in Treatise on Miscellaneous Diseases that evening .
The patient had a malignant tumor . He was treated with herbs and acupuncture for over three months . He fully recovered eventually .
Fully recovered!
According to the author’s description, the condition was very similar to cancer . It was really significant that the author of the book was able to cure cancer through herbal formula and acupuncture . It caught Wang Yao’s attention . He decided to work on how to treat cancer in the next few months .
The medical records was documented in the book, including the herbal formula .
What herbs were used?
Sculellaria barbata, Chinese brake herb, ebony…
Everything in the list were just common herbs .
Only these herbs can’t cure cancer, thought Wang Yao .
The system had filled Wang Yao’s head with rich knowledge of medicine and herbs . Wang Yao knew very well of the effect of herbs listed . They were effective in treating tumor, but had limited effect on cancer .
