Chapter 44 - 044 Novice Village Protection
Lin Bai, supporting Zhou Jiang, entered the City Lord’s Mansion in a flamboyant manner. No matter who offered to help, he would smile, gently shake his head, and maintain an air of not being tired at all.
This was firstly to cultivate a good image, and secondly, to have a hostage in hand.
His ’Divine Dragon Shakes its Feathers’ move had already tested the capabilities of the City Lord’s Mansion guards. But even a fierce tiger cannot withstand a pack of wolves. What if the City Lord still wanted to find someone to kill him, to test if he was a Player?
Therefore, until he was certain of the City Lord’s attitude, he would not let go of Zhou Jiang. Besides, Zhou Jiang, in his current state, was a walking generator of positive Emotion Value.
Lin Bai had finally understood: the System, despite its overwhelming nature, wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. Although he might be driven to the brink of a mental breakdown by a mountain of quests, everything he did came with rewards!
「In the hallway.」
A hurried old man approached, intending to take Zhou Jiang.
Lin Bai, clutching his ’treasure,’ dodged backward and habitually refused, "No need, I can handle it..."
The old man looked at Lin Bai and shook his head helplessly. "Let me. I’m the doctor of the City Lord’s Mansion."
"So you’re the doctor! My apologies." Lin Bai hastily put Zhou Jiang on the ground, apologizing profusely. "Doctor, please check Mr. Zhou quickly. He was unconscious the whole way and vomited a lot of blood."
The old man nodded slightly, his hand already on Zhou Jiang’s pulse.
