Chapter 12: Flu in Rosen City

The surrounding onlookers immediately burst into an uproar, as no one had ever seen such a technique, and they didn't know what Lu Chenxing was doing.

"Is this young man a Mage? Why haven't I seen the magic technique he just used?"

"I'm a Mage too, and I haven't seen it either..."

"So what exactly is he doing?"

At this moment, some keen-eyed people noticed the change in the little girl's complexion.

"Hey, look, this little girl seems to be much better!"

"Wow, really!"

The little girl on the ground was lying face up, her complexion visibly much better than before, her originally rapid heartbeat gradually returned to normal, and her body temperature also dropped.

Seeing this, Lu Chenxing let out a long sigh of relief, his idea was indeed correct, the Weaving effect truly offered more freedom!

"Effect Two: Weaving. You can weave or reconstruct spells using logic you understand. The more complete the logic, the less mana is consumed. If the logic is flawed, your magic will fail to activate."

The key to this effect, as expected, was the phrase "logic you understand"!

Lu Chenxing had done exactly that just now. If it were according to a normal person's understanding, they would definitely use wood or water-based healing spells, or life-side spells, to directly treat the little girl!

However, given the situation just now, even using conventional healing techniques would only keep her alive, and she was already convulsing from fever, which could very likely cause irreversible damage to her body!

Therefore, Lu Chenxing first used Probing Technique to roughly "categorize" her physical condition into three types: buff, debuff, and normal. It was precisely because the categorization was rough enough that this spell could be generated so smoothly.

Immediately after, he used Dispelling Technique to directly and roughly dispel all states except the normal state!

So, the question arises, how could Dispelling Technique dispel so-called buff and debuff states?

Clever companions have already thought of it: it's because Lu Chenxing had already "categorized" the states using Probing Technique earlier, which made the dispelling possible!

It can be said that without Probing Technique, Dispelling Technique would not be able to recognize the so-called buff and debuff states. If Dispelling Technique were activated alone, there would only be one result: the technique would be ineffective!

These two techniques were interconnected; otherwise, neither would be useful on its own!

Seeing the little girl's condition improve, Lu Chenxing once again cast Probing Technique and got the conclusion: Sleep (Normal).

All states, including the Near Death state, had disappeared, and she had clearly become a healthy child again.

But with the thought of seeing something through to the end, Lu Chenxing still extended his finger and pointed it between the little girl's eyebrows, gathering some life elements to help replenish a bit of her vitality.

This was a simple application of life magic, not considered a skill.

The people around only saw a faint, crystalline green light flash briefly beneath his finger, but it was too weak and disappeared before they could even sense it.

Then Lu Chenxing stood up and said, "Alright, she's fine now. She's just sleeping. A little rest will do her good."

Seeing this, the people around applauded and cheered. Soon, the ambulance arrived, and everyone watched as the little girl was taken away by the ambulance, then breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Lu Chenxing had quietly left. For him, it was just a small interlude.

In the Mayor's Office in Loshen City, the Mayor's secretary, dressed in OL attire, with a shapely figure and beautiful appearance, was reporting on work with a solemn expression.

"Mayor, the influenza virus in the city is getting more and more severe. In just one day, the virus has almost spread throughout the entire city. Almost all professionals below Tier 3 have been infected. This is definitely not ordinary influenza; it can now be almost confirmed that it was artificially created!"

Behind the spacious desk, a middle-aged man in battle armor, somewhat out of place in a modern office, frowned deeply. When he spoke, his low voice carried a sense of authority: "What does the Research Institute say?"

Hearing this, the secretary shook her head slightly, "The Research Institute hasn't given a solution yet, saying they still need time..."

"Not yet?" The man raised his furrowed brows and said coldly, "In these past few days, how many people have been hospitalized with high fever and unconsciousness due to this virus? They still need time? I can wait, but can the public wait?!"

The man was clearly a bit angry, and a mountain-like pressure emanated from his words, making the secretary miserable.

But the secretary couldn't do anything; those old scholars at the Research Institute all had 'rigor' on their lips, and even if she urged them, it usually had little effect.

Moreover, since the person who created the virus dared to release it, it proved that this virus was not so easy to solve, otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of effort here?

Clearly, the man could also think of this point, but that was a different matter from his dissatisfaction with the speed at which those old scholars worked!

"Pass on my order: tell the Research Institute to give me an explanation within a week. If they can't, I'll make them explain it here! They've consumed so much research funding; now it's time for them to get to work!"

"Additionally, send my order to all levels of medical departments: spare no effort in treatment! Even if they can't cure them, they must find a way to keep them alive!"

"Finally, thoroughly search for suspicious individuals! Especially those scoundrels from the Church of the Myriad Gods; cut them all down!" At this point, the man's eyes were incomparably cold, his words as icy as a blade, full of killing intent!

"Yes!"

After returning to his Card Shop, Lu Chenxing opened the door of the Card Shop and hung up the "Open for Business" sign. More than a month had passed, and the Card Shop could finally officially open for business.

He put the Tier 1 crystal cores he bought into his personal space. This was a small trick that all people who used space magic knew: opening up a space of their own to store things.

Now Lu Chenxing's strength was about to reach the late stage of Tier 1, and his personal space was roughly twice the size of his clothes pocket, enough to hold a few crystal cores.

He found the sign his father had placed at the door earlier in the shop and wrote on it: "Customizable Tier 1 Terrain Cards, Function Cards, and other cards available."

After placing the sign at the door, Lu Chenxing sat by the window and began to draw Bombardment Art cards. He had used one for testing, leaving two, and now only one was left in stock. He planned to increase his stock, as if he could really connect with the army, no amount would be too much.

So, at this point, he was not worried about the shop being seized by others. After all, the dignified president of the Loshen City Card Maker Association would not deceive a small fry like him. With an order from the army, no one should bother him anymore.

As the midday sun slowly set, night was approaching.

Lu Chenxing stretched his somewhat stiff neck, looked at the deserted shop door, and finally sighed, preparing to pack up and go eat.
