Yun City, eastern suburban Medical College.
After hanging up on Liu Yuan, Lu Yuan fell into contemplation.
Shortly after, he put on his Bluetooth headset and said, "Youyou, go to the back mountain and call Little Grass over, bring it to Operating Room #6."
"Okay."
Half an hour later, in Operating Room #6.
The two red dots in Little Grass's straw eye sockets began flashing rapidly.
In fact, it didn't really have any particular feeling about the operating room itself.
After spending so much time with Lu Yuan, Little Grass knew that he wasn't a bad person.
But when this place and Lu Yuan were combined...
This straw figure that shouldn't have any sensory perception suddenly felt a chill down its back.
In the operating room, Lu Yuan lightly tossed a glittering golden badge in his hand, smiling, "Little Grass, there's a silly nurse who needs your silly grass support."
The two red dots in Little Grass's eyes turned into two short horizontal lines.
It was expressing its displeasure - who was being called silly?
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow, "I'm calling you silly!"
In an instant, those two short horizontal lines in Little Grass's eye sockets turned into upward-curving arcs.
Little Grass: (^-^)V!
Lu Yuan: "Hm, as long as you have no brain, happiness is that simple."
Little Grass: "......"
Afterward, Lu Yuan tossed the golden badge to it.
On the front was a straw figure with arms outstretched, gazing up at the sky. On the reverse edge was a circular willow-leaf blade, with "LY-97" engraved in the middle.
"A little gift for you, on the condition that you make it out of here alive today. But with me around, there shouldn't be much of a problem."
"And I guarantee that once you wear this badge, no one will dare call you a silly grass anymore."
The red dots in Little Grass's eyes flickered.
Lu Yuan: "What are you thinking? Of course I can still call you that! Now lie down obediently!"
Little Grass: "......"
Ten minutes later, the surgery began.
Little Grass's internal structure was very simple, with only a few rudimentary organs partially formed.
Therefore, this surgery didn't take more than two hours to complete.
After the surgery, Little Grass stood on the plaza in front of the clinic building, gazing up at the night sky that was about to dissipate.
Lu Yuan stood under the eaves of the reception hall, looking at Little Grass with some emotion as he muttered to himself, "From today onward, you'll become another golden legend created by Doctor Lu."
Next to him, the little bear cub Zhang Baobao, who had just transformed from a plush toy back to human form, hugged Lu Yuan's leg and said in a baby voice, "Big brother Lu, I want that gold biubiu too~."
Lu Yuan smiled, "You? Let's see when you become big brother Lu's creation, then we'll talk."
Little one: "Can I have it now!"
Lu Yuan: "Not now."
"Can!"
"Can't."
"Can!"
"Hm, can."
Poof!
The next second, the little one was gone.
On the ground was another angry-looking plush toy.
It was now 4am.
After checking the time and glancing at Room 92, Lu Yuan went to his office to grab a brand new game controller, then jogged towards the pond.
Taking advantage of the fact that Linglong hadn't woken up yet, Lu Yuan went to practice the controls himself.
......
At 6:30am, Xiao Chen sleepily drove to Xifu City and dumped Little Grass at the back door of Tianyu Hospital.
By this time, Tianyu Hospital's office building was surrounded by a number of armed mercenaries, scrutinizing every passerby like hawks.
At 7am, a few nurses had already gradually arrived for the early shift.
A tall nurse wearing a white coat and mask carried a straw figure and left it in front of the office building's main entrance before turning to leave.
At 7:30am, just before work hours, many more doctors arrived one after another.
These doctors all had flushed, glowing faces, each wearing expensive accessories on their hands and necks. They walked around chatting and laughing in a lofty manner.
The straw figure left at the office building's entrance drew the attention of many, especially some of the younger nurses.
One pinched its head, another pinched its face, while others idly plucked a few straws from it...
Within half an hour, Little Grass had become Tianyu Hospital's mascot.
However, the caring Little Grass, disguised as a real straw figure, exhibited great professionalism. No matter how these despicable people handled and groped it, it remained completely still.
At 8am, it was official work hours.
Basically all the doctors had arrived by 8:59, and some had already started preparing to see patients in the clinics.
Soon, the first doctor who tried to leave the office building noticed something was off.
He realized that although he had clearly walked through the office building's entrance, when he looked up, he was still in his own office on the second floor!
He tried again, but the same thing happened.
The doctor panicked instantly.
Gradually, a second doctor discovered the same situation...
Meanwhile, those entering the office building from outside were unaffected.
Very quickly, the entire first floor of the office building was packed with doctors trying to get to the clinics, along with the building's mercenaries - there were over a hundred people, all of them frantic because this involved money!
They couldn't make phone calls either, because there was no signal.
Those standing at the entrance and shouting outwards found that the mercenaries positioned right outside the door seemed to have gone deaf!
Even if someone occasionally glanced towards the office building from outside, it was as if they saw nothing at all!
The entire office building had become an independent area completely cut off from the outside world.
The people outside didn't notice anything unusual, just wondering why all of Tianyu Hospital's doctors were staying in the office building instead of seeing patients today.
Time ticked by, the office building was eerily silent.
At least, that's how it appeared from the outside.
But in reality, chaos had erupted inside.
Throughout the morning, more and more doctors and nurses entered the office building unable to leave.
People kept trying to walk towards the main entrance, only to emerge from one of the back offices instead.
By noon, Liu Yuan had arrived.
She carried Tianyu Hospital's personnel performance records.
The white coat and mask-wearing Liu Yuan was greeted by a cacophony of noise as soon as she entered - the shouting of mercenaries, arguing voices of men, wailing cries of women...
Along with the suspicious muttering of those who repeatedly charged towards the entrance, only to run back out from the rear offices.
These people looked at the newly arrived Liu Yuan with pitying gazes.
Liu Yuan ignored them, her current task being to find certain individuals based on the record book in her hands.
For each one she found, she would pat that person's shoulder.
Liu Yuan patted those who had "negative performance records" at this hospital.
In such a large hospital, there were bound to be some innocents.
As Liu Yuan went through the list patting people based on their negative performance, she muttered, "Those who should leave will be sent away, those who should stay will remain. The boss said we're medical professionals, we absolutely cannot commit wanton killing..."
"Hm, I suppose this counts as the boss showing a bit of kindness towards Xifu City's medical industry..."
The result -
There were over three hundred doctors and nurses packed into the office building, comprising over 90% of Tianyu Hospital's staff in Xifu City.
Yet Liu Yuan successfully patted... zero people.
After wandering around the office building for two hours without finding a single person with a negative performance record based on the list, Liu Yuan located the hospital's HR director according to the listed positions.
Using a few underhanded methods, Liu Yuan obtained the information she wanted.
The wealthy don't keep idlers, the hospital doesn't feed lazybones.
With negative performance records, why keep you around leeching salaries?
The lucky ones just get kicked out with their bedrolls, the unlucky ones use their organs to pay back the hospital's wages.
As Liu Yuan heard this news, she silently left the office building.
As soon as she came out, the mercenaries guarding outside asked her, "Why hasn't anyone come out all day? You're the first one to come out after half a day."
Liu Yuan rolled her eyes, "Why don't you go in and take a look if you want to know?"
The two mercenaries dubiously approached the entrance and peeked inside, when suddenly—
Liu Yuan stepped forward and kicked them both inside with a foot each.
Turning around, Liu Yuan walked towards the almost bald patch of Little Grass and said, "Little Grass, unleash your power!"
Two red dots lit up in Little Grass's eye sockets, and its grassy mouth curled into a slight smile.
Then, Little Grass stiffly put on a golden badge.
Seeing this, Liu Yuan couldn't help but roll her eyes again, "I haven't even gotten one yet..."
Subsequently, Little Grass stretched out its arms towards the office building.
"Ahhh—"
A shrill scream came from Little Grass's mouth, and in an instant, a raging wind swept through the entire office building!
The whole office building started to age visibly at an alarming speed, with countless strands of straw bursting from the ground and shooting straight up towards the roof!
Everyone inside the office building found their surroundings rapidly deteriorating!
A female doctor who was applying makeup looked into the mirror, first in shock, then in horror, before letting out an agonizing scream!
She saw her reflection in the mirror rapidly aging!
At this moment, everything in the office building, including all life forms, objects, and elements, was rapidly growing old!
Outside the office building, Little Grass's scream grew increasingly shrill!
Whoosh—
Hundreds of crimson waves gushed out from the office building, rushing towards Little Grass's body!
Little Grass was frantically devouring the life force of all living beings, objects, and elements inside the office building!
In the blink of an eye, the brand-new Tianyu Hospital office building, just a minute ago, had become a dilapidated ruin!
And everyone inside had turned into withered corpses that would crumble into ashes at the slightest touch!
Watching this scene unfold, Liu Yuan muttered to herself, "The Domain Spirit ability, Time Control, Life Absorption..."
"Another perfect masterpiece by Lu Yuan."
