Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 1307: Chapter 1306: Why Can’t You All Just Follow the Plot?

”Hey... Li Xiaoyao, please arrange Granny Li first, I’ll come over later. Let me treat this person first.”

Faced with this mess, Fang Zheng was speechless. He knew exactly why Li Xiaoyao was rushing over, it was definitely because Granny Li’s condition was severe. But Fang Zheng wasn’t too worried. After all, Li Xiaoyao went to the Island of Immortals and spent the night there, married Zhao Ling’er and came back, so what’s the rush?

”Alright, please put this... Madam here, okay... wait a moment.”

ALS is considered one of the harder conditions Fang Zheng has seen, but luckily in the Mass Effect World, most diseases have been eradicated, even cancer and Alzheimer’s have been conquered, so an ALS was naturally no trouble. Fortunately, Fang Zheng had gathered almost all the highest-level medical modules in the Mass Effect World into his terminal as a precaution.

Soon, Lin Tiannan and Lin Yueru saw Fang Zheng extend his hand, swipe lightly, and then several strangely shaped ”magic artifacts” emitting orange radiance appeared out of nowhere, engulfing the woman. Then, a peculiar energy was emitted from the center of those artifacts, shining on the woman’s limbs. Accompanied by the injection treatment, the woman’s pale complexion gradually turned rosy, and seeing this, Lin Tiannan and his daughter also breathed a sigh of relief. Anyway, it seemed that the woman’s condition was gradually improving.

”This is incredibly miraculous.”

Lin Tiannan looked at the magic artifacts in awe and couldn’t help but praise.

”I’ve traveled far and wide, seen much of the world, and met many capable people, but I’ve never seen such miraculous magic artifacts like yours, Doctor Fang. It doesn’t follow the Five Elements, nor the Eight Trigrams, but carries such profound spiritual energy. Are those letters celestial script? May I ask, Doctor Fang, does this magic artifact have a name?”

”...........”

Upon hearing Lin Tiannan’s curious inquiry, Fang Zheng twitched the corner of his mouth.

”...Citadel Nano-Medical Tech Module Enhanced.”

”.......???”

Hearing this unexpected answer, Lin Tiannan was at a loss for words. In fact, upon seeing Fang Zheng activate the ”magic artifact”, he made up his mind to recruit this exotic hero, or at least to make nice with him. After all, Lin Tiannan, as the Leader of the Southern Martial World, was well-traveled. His network spanned the world, and even the Sect Leader of the Shushan Immortal Sword Sect had ties with him.

Therefore, Lin Tiannan was well aware of the importance of building good relationships with such figures. He originally thought he could praise Fang Zheng no matter how he responded.

But... how does one even praise this?

What’s a Citadel Nano-Medical Tech Module Enhanced?

Though every word is recognizable to him, why doesn’t he understand them when they’re put together?

”Hmm...”

However, fortunately, right as Lin Tiannan was racking his brain on how to praise awkwardly, the woman who looked unconscious now opened her eyes with a soft exhale. Seeing this, Lin Yueru excitedly pounced over.

”Mom! You’re finally awake!”

”Good child...”

Seeing Lin Yueru beside her, the woman feebly reached out and gently touched Lin Yueru’s hair. Then, she looked toward Lin Tiannan.

”Husband, am I...”

”You’re awake, Shizuka!!”

Seeing his wife awake, Lin Tiannan was extremely excited, rushing over and gripping his wife’s hand. Knowing she had been unconscious for half a month, during which she hadn’t eaten a morsel, he had been in despair, but now...

”Alright, done.”

Seeing the treatment completed, Fang Zheng snapped his fingers and retrieved the module.

”This Madam Lin is clearly no longer in danger. Of course, because she’s been bedridden for so long, her muscles are a bit lax. Initially, she’ll find it difficult to move and will need some rehabilitation...”

”Thank you so much, gracious benefactor!”

However, before Fang Zheng finished his words, Lin Tiannan tightly grabbed his hand.

”We at Lin Family Castle will remember your great kindness and virtue forever!”

”No, it was just a small effort. After all, look, the treatment’s done and it didn’t even take ten minutes...”

”You can’t say that, gracious benefactor! It might be a small effort for you, but for our whole family, it saved our lives! Please come to Lin Family Castle, let us show our gratitude properly!”

”Well, let’s talk about it later...”

Fang Zheng was seeing such enthusiastic patients for the first time and felt a bit unaccustomed. He reluctantly extracted his hand from Lin Tiannan and pointed at the anxious Li Xiaoyao standing by.

”There’s someone waiting for me to save their life.”

”Oh, sorry, sorry...”

Realizing his oversight, Lin Tiannan apologized. Fang Zheng said nothing further and hurriedly escaped... Lin Tiannan’s demeanor was just too off, which was a bit hard for him to get used to.

Treating Granny Li was much simpler, as it was just exhaustion leading to sickness, easily resolved with a shot of medical gel.

However, after a long day, by the time Fang Zheng finished and wrapped up, it was already afternoon. Lin Tiannan’s family originally wanted to invite Fang Zheng to Hangzhou, but Fang Zheng was waiting for the plot to unfold here, so he politely declined Lin Tiannan’s invitation, and Lin Tiannan could only leave first with his wife and daughter.

Once everything was tidied up, it was about dusk.

”Hoo...”

Fang Zheng stretched lazily, then staggered out of the inn. In this era, villages didn’t have street lights, except for the oil lamps in households and the lanterns outside inns, which were the only light sources. Fang Zheng pinched his aching neck, then looked left and right...

Where are those Black Miao Tribe people?

Fang Zheng remembered in the game plot, Granny Li became ill after receiving those Black Miao Tribe folks, but now?

”Li Xiaoyao.”

Just then, Fang Zheng saw Li Xiaoyao rushing out of the inn and called out to him. Hearing Fang Zheng’s call, Li Xiaoyao hurriedly turned around and approached him.

”Brother Fang, what’s up?”

”Have you seen any Miao people in the village today?”

”Miao people?”

Upon Fang Zheng’s inquiry, Li Xiaoyao furrowed his brow, recalled for a moment, then shook his head.

”Doesn’t seem like I did.”

Hmm? That’s unusual, whether Black or White Miao, shouldn’t they have arrived by now?

”Go ask around, see if anyone in the village has spotted any Miao people.”

Fang Zheng felt something was amiss; was the plot going off course again?

”Alright, I’ll go right now!”

At this point, Li Xiaoyao was naturally obedient to Fang Zheng, nodded directly, and ran off. Watching Li Xiaoyao’s back, Fang Zheng also shook his head.

Li Xiaoyao, dreaming of being a hero, naturally wouldn’t miss the chance to engage with Fang Zheng. Actually, days ago, he cried and pleaded to be Fang Zheng’s disciple.

Fang Zheng’s approach to dealing with him was simple.

He handed Li Xiaoyao over to Aika, letting Aika teach him programming.

In just ten minutes, Li Xiaoyao chose to give up immediately.

People need to have self-awareness.

”Brother Fang! Brother Fang!”

At this time, amid the loud calls, Li Xiaoyao returned.

”I found out, indeed a group of Miao people came, wearing dark clothes...”

”Oh? Where are they?”

Upon hearing this, Fang Zheng’s eyes brightened.

Laozi’s forty-meter long sword is eager and waiting!

”They left!”

”...What?”

”They left, in the afternoon they hired a boat and sailed away, saying they went to the Island of Immortals! Moreover... Little Tiger went with them, saying he was a guide... Brother Fang, could these Miao people be bad guys!”

”...........”

Upon hearing this, Fang Zheng was thoroughly speechless.

Why don’t you all just follow the plot properly?
