Live Broadcast: My Blunt TCM Practice and My Patients Are Dying Online - Chapter 83

“Doctor, I didn’t realize it was this serious. Is there still hope for me now?”

Nana was extremely anxious. Without thinking, she reached out and grabbed Dr. Qin Jiang’s hand.

Qin Jiang calmly withdrew his hand and pointed to the QR code on the table.

“Your condition is troublesome, but it can be treated. First, scan to pay. 100,000.”

Nana didn’t hesitate at all, pulling out her phone to complete the payment.

“Doctor, the payment went through.”

Qin Jiang was momentarily stunned.

Why wasn’t there a system notification?

Oh no, did I hit the reward limit already?

A flicker of panic went through Qin Jiang.

System, how can I live without you, System!

“Doctor?”

Seeing Qin Jiang’s expression darken, Nana’s heart instantly leapt into her throat again.

Could her illness really be that difficult to treat?

Nana’s call snapped Qin Jiang out of his thoughts.

Qin Jiang gave an “Oh.”

“Wait here. I’ll go to the pharmacy to prepare your medicine.”

Qin Jiang went into the pharmacy to prepare the herbs, but the more he thought about it, the more something felt off.

Why wasn’t the system giving rewards anymore?

Ten minutes later, Qin Jiang came out with the prepared medicine and handed it to Nana.

“One packet a day. It’s best taken in the morning to help with efficacy.”

“Take it for ten days first. Come back to see me for a follow-up after you finish it.”

Nana thanked him profusely as she took the medicine from Qin Jiang’s hands.

Luan An, who was standing nearby, spoke up, “Dr. Qin, check me out too. I feel like I’m not long for this world.”

Luan An’s condition wasn’t as severe as Nana’s, but it wasn’t far off either.

After a moment’s thought, Qin Jiang said, “I have two treatment plans for you. You’ll need to choose.”

“Go ahead, Dr. Qin.”

“The first option: a complete cure. Like her, I’ll prescribe Chinese herbs for you, and you’ll come for regular check-ups. However, the treatment process requires abstaining from sexual activity.”

Hearing the requirement to abstain, Luan An’s face immediately fell.

“What level of abstinence are we talking about?”

“Would once a day work?”

Qin Jiang gave a cold laugh.

“What do you think?”

The live stream viewers were cracking up.

“This guy is a real character. Once a day counts as abstinence?”

“Compared to his previous frequency, I think once a day actually would be abstinence for him.”

“Can’t be helped. This is the suffering the wealthy must endure. If you have money, tons of beautiful women throw themselves at you. You can’t even push them away!”

“Hey, the person above, don’t talk like you have experience. We’re all broke here, no need to pretend.”

Luan An felt that once a day was already a huge concession.

With a girlfriend like Nana around, managing just once a day was practically health maintenance for him!

Luan An asked, utterly perplexed, “Dr. Qin, shouldn’t the treatment and my… abstinence be mostly unrelated? Treatment shouldn’t interfere with my normal life, right?”

Qin Jiang found this amusing.

“Alright, I won’t interfere with your ‘normal life’. In that case, go home and write your will. Judging by your state, you probably still have some time left for indulgence.”

“Don’t worry. Believe in yourself. Seize the day and enjoy life.”

Luan An: “…”

Qin Jiang’s words sent a chill down his spine.

So he was just giving up on him like that?

Couldn’t he at least try to persuade him a bit? What if he actually listened?

Luan An glanced at his girlfriend standing beside him.

“Nana, you heard the doctor. If you want me to live a long life, we can’t be that… frequent anymore.”

Nana rolled her eyes at him.

“You’re the one who acts like a pervert every time.”

“Think about it yourself. When is it not you pouncing on me first?”

“Last night, you were on me as soon as we got home. You wouldn’t even wait for me to wash my feet, you just had to… Anyway, you owe me a new pair of stockings.”

“And this morning? I was sleeping soundly, what were you disturbing me for?”

“And you have the nerve to call it ‘boyfriend’s special wake-up service’? I’m so done with you.”

Nana’s rant left Luan An blushing bright red.

Was this stuff okay to say out loud?

This Nana… all figure, no brain!

The live stream viewers grew more envious with each word.

“Damn, I’m so jealous. My eyes are turning green with envy.”

“This is the life of the rich? Waking up with your girlfriend right there? Not like us, who can only boot up [the game ‘Timy’] when we get up.”

“This Nana’s voice sounds so familiar… South Korean Succubus?”

“Finally, someone recognizes her! I thought so earlier, but with the face mosaic, I couldn’t place it right away.”

“Oh, it’s her? Then once a day really would count as abstinence.”

Luan An hurriedly covered Nana’s mouth.

He was terrified she might blurt out something even more outrageous next.

After a moment of hesitation, Luan An said to Qin Jiang, “Dr. Qin, you see my situation. Asking me to abstain just isn’t realistic. Just tell me the second option.”

Qin Jiang sighed. He wasn’t surprised by Luan An’s choice.

While Luan An lacked self-control, he at least had self-awareness.

Knowing his own limitations, he decisively abandoned the first option. That was actually a lesson worth learning.

Qin Jiang said calmly, “The second option is to take medicine first, for gentle reinforcement.”

“It doesn’t require abstinence, but it does require you to reduce the frequency and practice some moderation.”

“This plan can give you over a dozen more years, preventing an early demise.”

Only a dozen or so more years?

Luan An hesitated.

But when he turned his head and caught sight of Nana’s alluring, fiery figure, his resolve instantly solidified.

Life is about being happy!

Why live so long anyway?

“Dr. Qin, I choose the second option.”

Qin Jiang pointed to the QR code on the table again.

“Fine. Payment. 20,000.”

Luan An took out his phone, scanned, and paid.

The moment the payment succeeded, the system notification tone Qin Jiang had been longing for finally rang out.

Ding.

[Detected that the host spoke frankly to the patient, disclosing the patient’s hidden ailment and providing significant assistance. Task complete.]

[Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: God-tier Micro-control Technique.]

Looking at the new reward from the system, Qin Jiang was baffled.

He was a doctor. What was he supposed to do with this God-tier Micro-control Technique?

Did the system expect him to use it to climb the ranks in a game?

As knowledge about micro-control flooded his mind, Qin Jiang suddenly understood.

It turned out this micro-control technique awarded by the system was actually more like a state akin to ‘flow’.

When a person is extremely focused, they can unlock potential and perform operations beyond ordinary reach.

Research suggests that in a state of extreme focus, a person’s five senses can be supernaturally enhanced.

Using this state for gaming and ranking up would be child’s play.

If he could use it while performing surgery… that would be invincible!

“Dr. Qin, I’ve paid. About the medicine…”

Luan An offered Qin Jiang a smile.

100,000 for over a decade of life? Not a bad deal. In fact, a pretty cost-effective one!

Qin Jiang took out the system-provided Liuwei Dihuang Pills and handed them to Luan An.

“One pill a day. Take for three months. Don’t take more.”

The moment the medicine was in his hand, Luan An immediately popped one into his mouth.

He smacked his lips, remarking with feeling,

“The 20,000 medicine sure tastes good… Wait, this flavor tastes like Hou Wang Dan (Monkey King Pills).”
