Chapter 15: The power of rules

So Lin Tianxiong thought I was here to ask him for a favor, to get a junior into the hospital, is that it?

"I'm not here to ask you for a favor, I'm not that desperate!" Long Qifeng explained briefly, and Lin Tianxiong's brows relaxed slightly.

At this moment, he looked at Lu Chenxing with a bit more seriousness. "Yesterday, I saw the situation of Xiao Qian's family. I didn't expect Jiaojiao to be talking about you. If I offended you just now, please forgive me."

Even when speaking politely, Lin Tianxiong's tone remained calm and emotionless.

However, seeing Long Qifeng's way of interacting with him, Lu Chenxing roughly understood that this person had such a personality, so he quickly waved his hand to indicate that it was fine.

At this moment, Lin Jiaojiao also ran out of the hospital, her eyebrows filled with anxiety. Seeing Lin Tianxiong, she said in surprise, "Dad, why are you here? ...Perfect! You guys, come with me quickly, a patient is dying!"

...

Inside the hospital, unlike in his previous life, it was not filled with the smell of disinfectant, but rather with the scent of various array patterns and herbal medicines. This smell was somewhat similar to some traditional Chinese medicine hospitals Lu Chenxing had visited in his previous life.

Similarly, the hospital also used spatial technology, making it much larger than it appeared from the outside. However, the lobby, corridors, pantry, and other areas were now completely full, with patients lying everywhere.

Each patient had a green life energy released by a slow-release array placed on their chest, which was keeping them alive, but it could not solve their pain.

All the medical staff were professionals with healing or detection talents. During this time, they also saw some people who stubbornly kept using purification and detoxification spells, but they had no effect.

Lin Jiaojiao hurried with the three of them, arriving at the stairs, and ascended to the second floor in a few steps. The situation on the second floor was similar to the first, also leaving no room to step.

During this time, Lu Chenxing also learned that Dean Lin Tianxiong was Lin Jiaojiao's father.

"Before, when some patients were dying, my father would step in and help. He would supplement their life energy and remove viruses without harming the patient, but his strength alone is limited. Loshen City has tens of millions of people; it's impossible for them all to rely on him."

"So we must find a solution that can be mass-produced and is less difficult, which means your cards, Boss Lu." Lin Jiaojiao said, her footsteps never stopping.

A moment later, she led everyone to the door of an ordinary ward and said, "We're here."

She pushed open the ward door, revealing the situation inside. There were several beds in the ward, but everyone was now looking at the bed in the middle. On that bed was a person convulsing, on the verge of death.

A nurse continuously released the common medical spell "Tranquility," hoping to alleviate some of the patient's pain, but even though her forehead was already wet with sweat, the patient showed no sign of stopping.

The surrounding patients looked at this scene, their eyes also growing dim, as if they had already seen their own fate.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, everyone subconsciously looked over. After seeing the white coats, they silently shifted their gaze away, because they had seen this scene countless times, but no matter how many doctors came, the final result was only to keep the patient alive.

Lin Jiaojiao turned to Lu Chenxing and said, "Boss Lu, it's up to you!"

Lu Chenxing nodded, stepped forward, and took out two cards under the dim gazes of the surrounding patients. As the first card shattered, a wave of mental and magical energy swept through. Immediately after, the second card shattered, and a spherical magic filled with light and water elements submerged into the patient's body.

Immediately after, light and water elements surged out from the patient's back. The patient's condition visibly improved, and he fell into a deep sleep.

The patients watching from the side were first stunned, then their eyes gradually brightened. One of them said with trembling lips, "Is he... better?"

"Yes!" Lu Chenxing smiled and nodded.

The patients immediately cheered, "We're saved!" and tears of excitement fell from their eyes.

No one wanted to lie here waiting to die, but there was no choice. This flu had no specific cure, and they could only wait for the final outcome.

But now there was a turning point. This disease could be cured, how could they not be excited?

Seeing the patient improve, Lin Jiaojiao also breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the young man's handsome face and slender back with a charming smile, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

At the same time, seeing the patient's condition seemingly improve, Lin Tianxiong, with a stern face, personally stepped forward to check. After a moment, he nodded and said, "The virus and symptoms of cold and fever have completely disappeared. He is only a bit weak, but it's no longer a problem."

Saying that, Lin Tianxiong gently pointed a finger, and the life energy scattered in the surrounding air gathered, forming a faint green light that submerged into the patient's body, replenishing the patient's previous consumption of life energy.

Seeing this, Lu Chenxing was slightly stunned. This familiar magical energy and life element, so Dean Lin was a Life Mage?

After doing all this, Lin Tianxiong said sternly, "I need to report this to the Mayor immediately! You all wait here first!"

Hearing this, Long Qifeng immediately said, "I'll go with you!"

With that, the two simultaneously disappeared from the ward, leaving only Lu Chenxing and Lin Jiaojiao looking at each other.

A moment later, Lin Jiaojiao lightly coughed and said, "Anyway, let's treat the patients first."

...

Meanwhile, in the Mayor's office, Mayor Zhan Wushuang, after listening to Lin Tianxiong and Long Qifeng's words, suddenly stood up, his eyes clearly showing surprise!

"Elder Lin, Elder Long, are you telling the truth? This is no laughing matter!"

Lin Tianxiong still nodded seriously and earnestly, "I saw it with my own eyes. It only takes two cards, and the medicine is effective! Besides being a bit weak, the patient is completely normal!"

"Hmm, good!" Long Qifeng also smiled and nodded, "And I seem to know why this virus is so rampant and why ordinary methods are completely ineffective."

"Oh?" Zhan Wushuang's eyes brightened even more, and he quickly said, "Please enlighten me, Elder Long!"

"When Lu Chenxing was making the cards, I observed him for a while and detected a faint hint of rules from these two spell formulas, although it was very weak, almost nonexistent. But after careful observation, I still saw some clues," Long Qifeng said, stroking his beard.

"And just now, I personally witnessed the casting process of these two spell formulas, and I indeed saw a trace of rules in them. Although it only appeared when the two cards were linked, it was certainly there, like two halves of a complete rule, linked together."

"And if any one of these two cards were taken out separately, I would not have been able to see that it involved the power of rules."

Hearing this, Zhan Wushuang's brows immediately furrowed: "So, Elder Long means..."

"According to my guess, this virus most likely also involves a trace of the power of rules, but it's incomplete and the amount is too small, so none of us noticed."

"Speaking of viruses and rules, I wonder if you all, like me, are reminded of some things." Long Qifeng's eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous glint flickering within them.
