After saying that,
the young nurse scratched her head again and muttered in confusion, "That's not right."
"Even if the cleaners were careless, they wouldn't take the medical records from a VIP Ward..."
Hearing the young nurse's muttering,
Jiang Fu's thoughts stirred.
Could Old Wu have taken my medical records?
At the thought of Old Wu,
Jiang Fu's heart sank.
He used his Spirit Power to control his phone, quietly moving it in front of his chest.
He turned on the camera.
Some posts on the Martial Artist Forum had mentioned this.
Many martial artists could use special cultivation techniques to seal their blood energy and diminish their presence.
They could hide in the shadows and quietly observe their enemies.
Jiang Fu was still a rookie.
Even though his Spirit Power covered a hundred-meter radius,
it was easy to overlook something in a hospital crowded with all sorts of people.
So he could only resort to the most basic method.
Turn on his phone's camera.
Record everyone he encountered along the way.
Then go through the footage slowly once he got back!
...Even if Old Wu had ten times the nerve,
he wouldn't dare attack Jiang Fu in the hospital.
If any martial artist dared to kill someone in public within a city,
the Xia Country Authorities and the Martial Artist Guild
would hunt them to the ends of the earth, never stopping until they were dead!
Cities were among the few places in this world that still had civilized order.
"Oh, right."
Jiang Fu suddenly spoke again. "Nurse, where did Ge Yanxia go?"
The young nurse curled her lips.
"She transferred hospitals," she said irritably. "She should be at Bin City Ninth Martial Artist Hospital now."
At the thought of that family of three,
the young nurse felt both aggrieved and amused.
All three of them, without exception.
Their blood sugar, blood lipids, and blood pressure had all skyrocketed!
Fortunately, they were martial artists.
If they had been ordinary people, they would have died outright.
Of course,
a civilian hospital like District Nine People's Hospital couldn't treat that condition.
So yesterday afternoon, the family of three had transferred to the Martial Artist Hospital in District Nine.
Jiang Fu silently took note.
Then he followed the young nurse out of the ward and had another copy of his medical records printed at the nurses' station.
"Can I get discharged now?"
The young nurse looked Jiang Fu up and down. "Are you sure you're all right?"
Jiang Fu smiled. "If the Vitality Pill works, then I'll be fine."
"If it doesn't... staying in the hospital will just be a waste of money."
The young nurse nodded. "All right."
"The treatment fees are nonrefundable."
"But your head teacher paid for half a month in the VIP Ward."
"A standard VIP Ward costs eight hundred a day. That part can be refunded. Would you like cash, or..."
Jiang Fu's heart gave a slight tremor.
He remembered how, that day, after Teacher Xu had told Ge Yanxia off,
he had hurried away.
"Refund it to the original account, please."
The young nurse nodded. "All right. You can buy the Vitality Pill at the pharmacy on the second floor."
"Go buy your medicine first, then come back to finish the discharge paperwork."
Jiang Fu nodded.
He took his medical records and headed to the second floor.
But just as he reached the entrance to the second-floor pharmacy,
he saw a somewhat familiar figure walking out.
Jiang Fu blurted out instinctively, "Zhang Qilin? What are you doing here?"
The boy was none other than Jiang Fu's deskmate, Zhang Qilin.
It wasn't even noon yet.
Classes shouldn't be over yet, right?
Why had he come to the hospital pharmacy?
Zhang Qilin froze when he saw Jiang Fu.
Panic was plain on his face.
"Oh, I just came to have a look."
He instinctively hid the red box in his hand behind his back.
Jiang Fu swept it with his Spirit Power.
Then he clicked his tongue. "A Vitality Pill, huh? You really do have money!"
Zhang Qilin had always complained about being poor to the body's original owner, whether he had a reason to or not.
Ge Yanxia's family had long since manipulated the original owner into a softhearted pushover.
He simply couldn't resist Zhang Qilin's pitiful looks.
So he would often share his own resources with him.
The original owner had consistently ranked first in his class and in the top ten of his year.
The school's resource rewards, plus the resource subsidies from Ninth High School's Martial Arts Department,
added up to a considerable amount.
And those resources
had been divided into three portions.
He used one small portion himself.
He gave another small portion to Zhang Qilin.
And he spent the largest portion fawning over Han Ruobing.
In the end, all that fawning had left him with nothing.
But now,
Jiang Fu certainly didn't believe Zhang Qilin was here to visit him.
Meeting Jiang Fu's slightly probing gaze,
Zhang Qilin gave an awkward laugh. "I've got something to do, so I'll be going!"
As he spoke,
he left the pharmacy without looking back.
Jiang Fu paid Zhang Qilin no further attention.
He strode into the pharmacy and handed his medical records over at the counter.
"Hello. I'd like to fill this prescription."
The middle-aged physician at the counter took the medical records and examined them carefully.
"Another Vitality Pill?"
When he saw the name on the medical records, his brow furrowed slightly.
Jiang Fu paused. "What's wrong?"
The physician shook his head and explained, "Each set of medical records allows you to buy up to three Vitality Pills at forty percent off."
Jiang Fu nodded. "I know. One will be enough."
One Vitality Pill
was equivalent to ten for Jiang Fu.
His blood energy had been scattered, robbing it of its ability to recover on its own.
According to the doctor's instructions in his medical records,
one Vitality Pill would be enough.
The physician worked quickly.
Payment, then collection.
It was all done in one smooth process.
"So it really was a Vitality Pill."
Jiang Fu looked at the small red box in his hand.
It immediately reminded him of Zhang Qilin.
"So all his scrimping and saving, mooching food and drinks... was to save up for a Vitality Pill?"
"He really went all out to become a martial artist."
A Vitality Pill was fundamentally a medicine.
It could heal injuries and also increase blood energy.
It helped quasi-martial artists reach the level of a martial artist.
With the Vitality Pill in hand,
Jiang Fu didn't hesitate.
He went straight back to complete his discharge paperwork.
The hospitalization fees Teacher Xu had paid in advance were also refunded to his original account.
Once everything was done,
Jiang Fu immediately left Ninth People's Hospital.
He headed straight for a large nearby supermarket.
"My backer wants Sweet and Sour Ribs, Crystal Shrimp, and a Cream Mini Cake..."
"Oh, crap. I can't cook!"
In his previous life,
Jiang Fu had developed ALS just after starting high school.
ALS was particularly aggressive at that age.
Before long, he had been bedridden.
But in this life...
"Huh? I actually have memories of cooking."
"And my cooking skills seem pretty good..."
"With Cooking Skill Multiply by Ten, wouldn't that make me a god of cooking?"
With that thought,
Jiang Fu pushed a Shopping Cart
and began shopping in the supermarket.
After buying ingredients, cake, and seasonings,
Jiang Fu kept feeling as though something was missing.
Then, suddenly,
he remembered the suitcase full of snacks in Shi Jiu's Storage Badge.
So he headed to the snack aisle and went on another shopping spree.
Only after filling his Shopping Cart did he head contentedly toward the checkout.
But just then,
a commotion suddenly broke out in the seafood section.
Terrified screams rang out.
"Oh no, it's alienation!"
"That crab has undergone alienation and turned into a mutated beast!"
"Run!"
In an instant,
the entire supermarket descended into chaos.
It was almost noon, and the supermarket was crowded.
For a moment.
Screams and wails rose one after another.
Everyone scrambled to flee the Seafood Area.
They surged chaotically toward the Safe Exit.
Jiang Fu frowned slightly.
Pushing his Shopping Cart, he deftly slipped through the chaotic crowd.
Then he swept the Seafood Area with his Spirit Power.
At that moment.
The Seafood Area was a complete mess.
A gigantic creature, light blue all over and more than five meters in diameter,
was baring its claws and swaggering arrogantly.
Fortunately,
the counters in the Seafood Area were covered with densely packed tanks.
This Mutated Beast had only just undergone Alienation.
Other than one unlucky person who tripped over a tank while fleeing and fell face-first, bloodying his face,
it had caused no other casualties.
A second System Panel floated before Jiang Fu's eyes.
[Species: Blue Abyss Emperor Crab] [Level: 1] [Weakness: Mouth] [Most Valuable Part: Crab Legs]
Jiang Fu licked his lips. "A King Crab this big should be delicious!"
With that thought,
his figure turned into a blur and shot straight toward the King Crab.
