I Materialized the Cultivation Game

Chapter 171: Chapter 107: First Time Seeing Such Symptoms! What Did You Say? (Part 2)

Compared to the small county with an average salary of 4,000 yuan, this has also raised the average wage. Additionally, that so-called cultivation marketplace is really just a vegetable market. Now, the villagers of Shangyuan Village are already selling fruits and natural vegetables there.

This also provides extra income opportunities.

All of these are counted as accomplishments on the cultural tourism side.

On his end, in communication with Xiaoyu of the Chen Family, over 300 tourists have already booked rooms for future stays. The Chen Family is increasing their accommodations. Once the National Style Event begins, the number of tourists will explode to a terrifying level.

There will definitely be more tourists coming then.

The county is already paying close attention to this matter.

The plan to transform that section of the old city wall into a site commemorating when youths from far and wide were gathered by the Chen Family was also directly approved.

Whether it actually happened or not is not important. As long as they say it did, and the Chen Family says it did, then get a talented writer to pen it and a persuasive guide to narrate it, and a vivid piece of history appears before your eyes.

This poor, even debt-ridden small county has suddenly realized it can also benefit from the tourism boom. How could they let it slip by?

The opportunity must be seized firmly.

At this moment, Chen Kai also said to a section chief, ”Ma Qi, the Chen Family’s National Style Event definitely needs us to coordinate in many areas. You handle getting in touch with them about these matters. This National Style Event also affects our future promotions.”

Hearing this, Ma Qi promptly assured, ”Director Chen, rest assured, I’ve already made preliminary plans. Additionally, I had my wife take my son to experience the Chen Family’s tourism firsthand, so when she recounts their experience, I can address any potential issues and offer suggestions to the Chen Family.”

Chen Kai nodded with a smile, ”Section Chief Ma, you’re thorough as always. I’m relieved to leave this matter to you. Let’s discuss it more after the meeting.”

Ma Qi was quite pleased to hear this. Considering how much attention the county is paying to the Chen Family, if the tourism economy really picks up, and Linhe County benefits, a promotion for him isn’t out of the question.

Therefore, he’s handling this affair with great care.

If anyone dared to challenge him for this job, he would really get agitated with them.

Just as the meeting ended, his phone rang. Seeing it was his wife’s number, he immediately answered, hearing her voice: ”Honey, come pick us up from the Chen Family. Our hemorrhoids... We got sick...”

”How did you suddenly get sick? Don’t worry, I’ll be right over.” Hearing that both his wife and son were sick, Ma Qi immediately got a bit tense and said to Chen Kai, ”Director Chen, there’s a situation with my wife and son at the Chen Family’s place. I need to go pick them up.”

”Hmm, go ahead!” Chen Kai nodded.

Ma Qi hurriedly left the meeting room, flagged down a taxi to head to the Chen Family’s place, since the family car was already taken there by his wife.

On the way, he took out his phone to check and watch videos related to the Chen Family, considering it affects his career and needs constant attention.

The Chen Family was quite trending today, especially since Ming Di posted another video. He’s an out-of-town internet star trying to gain popularity, and it seems Patriarch Chen allowed it, with both sides working to boost each other’s traffic.

Ming Di even mentioned sending someone to deal with Patriarch Chen, and then he saw that Patriarch Chen caught some Demon Path demons.

He thought the two were just collaborating until he saw the appearance of those thieves, which left him astonished. It seemed unrelated, especially when he saw Captain Li from the county appear with a team.

There really were thieves at the Chen Family today, and Patriarch Chen’s junior apprentice sister was quite popular. Her two sword moves were so impressive that he was glad the sword wasn’t sharpened.

Soon, Ma Qi arrived at the Chen Family’s place. Getting out of the car in the parking lot, he called his wife, immediately hearing his son’s cries and his wife’s voice: ”Honey, I’m in the car, at the far corner of the parking lot.”

He hung up and quickly found the spot. His son’s crying was so loud his throat was hoarse.

By the car, he saw his son lying on the back seat crying, and his wife was lying awkwardly on the passenger seat, her butt sticking out, looking terrible.

This posture was quite unsightly. If they weren’t dressed, it seemed like they were waiting to be... well.

”What happened?” Ma Qi immediately asked.

Zhu Fei, pale-faced, said, ”Honey, our hemorrhoids flared up terribly. It feels like being sliced open with a knife every time we move.”

”What?” Ma Qi was dumbfounded. Hemorrhoids can be this dramatic?

But looking at his son’s hoarse cries and his wife’s pale face, it clearly wasn’t an act.

Without hesitating, he got in the driver’s seat, drove back to the county, and rushed his wife and child to the proctology department.

At this time, there was no queue, and the on-duty doctor quickly checked on them.

The doctor asked about their condition and, seeing their state, immediately had a nurse help check them, trying to figure out what kind of hemorrhoids could be so excruciating.

After checking, it left everyone numb.

Are these really hemorrhoids?

Normally, external hemorrhoids form thromboses no larger than 1-3 centimeters. These were more than double that size, and what’s worse, there was bleeding, making it unbearable to see.

Key point is, such severe hemorrhoids might happen to adults, but for a child, it’s overly dramatic. Children rarely get hemorrhoids, let alone to this extent.

The doctor suspected it wasn’t hemorrhoids, lacking the experience to treat it, and could only call the chief for help.

Soon, a chief arrived, equally surprised by the situation. He also doubted it was hemorrhoids and went for immediate testing.

The results were surprising—it was indeed hemorrhoids.

Such severe hemorrhoids were unprecedented for him, comparable to that person from the Star Stripes Country who lost most of their area due to drug-induced toxic hemorrhoids, which is a unique case.

”Apply medication, start IV drips, and observe. If it doesn’t work, we’ll resort to surgery.” The chief immediately made arrangements, starting IV drips for both mother and child.

But even after medication and drips, neither showed improvement, and the son was crying himself hoarse.

Zhu Fei felt her lower body was no longer hers. Just visiting the bathroom felt like being scraped by sharp glass, with even some bleeding.

She’s truly on the verge of insanity.

Ma Qi frowned and said, ”Doctor, why is there no effect after the medication and drips?”

The chief was puzzled too, since the best hemorrhoid medications were used and the drips completed. It was odd that there wasn’t any effect, but he couldn’t admit that, only furrowing his brow: ”These seem to be very stubborn toxic hemorrhoids, and surgery is required.”

”Schedule the surgery!” Ma Qi ultimately agreed, then turned to ask his wife with a frown: ”Honey, what happened at the Chen Family’s place? Why did your hemorrhoids suddenly get this severe? You were fine in the morning.”

Zhu Fei was also confused: ”How would I know? I was just at the Chen Family, got into an argument, and suddenly this happened.” Recalling the anger from the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall made her even more agitated and she urgently said to her husband, ”Honey, the staff at the Chen Family treated us poorly and made our son cry. You can’t let them off the hook.”

”Tourism in the county is under your jurisdiction, right? As a section chief, tell them their service is poor and needs improvement. Make that Patriarch Chen come and apologize to me!”

”What? What did you just say?” Ma Qi’s eyes widened in disbelief at what he heard.

To tell the Chen Family to improve their service and have Patriarch Chen apologize to his wife?

What a joke! If he did that tonight, by tomorrow he’d know why the flowers are so red.

Is his wife trying to impede the Chen Family or him?

This made him look at his wife far more sternly than expected. He never thought his own wife would be the one hindering his progress.

Zhu Fei, seeing his expression, sensed something was wrong and asked with a frown, ”Honey, why are you looking at me like that?”
