Chapter 79: Emergency treatment at a booming clinic
Chapter 79: Emergency treatment at a booming clinic
Although he was in command at the scene with confidence, displayed a noble humanitarian spirit, and had the magnanimity to save lives and heal the wounded, Wen Rui was actually very panicked.
He was somewhat unsure whether he had committed a great sin in his pursuit of profit maximization, and whether Heaven would hold him responsible for the sin of killing so many Chan sect monks today.
Wen Rui regretted his decision for a moment, and sighed to himself that greed is really the original sin of capitalists. He should not be like this in his nature. It must be the debuff that comes with the Iron Man template that caused him to be blinded by greed.
Wen Rui could swear in front of Master Tongtian that his original intention of modifying the secret realm defense formation was definitely not to kill people. Killing the Jindan Yuanying cultivators, the main consumer group of the Jinling Sect, even if they were disciples of the Chenjiao with whom he had old grudges, would not benefit him in any way.
Wen Rui's ideal goal is just to greatly increase the resource consumption and injury probability of the monks, extend the exploration time of the secret realm, and thus increase the turnover of various shops in the market, just like when he made similar operations before, to make a fortune.
Sustainability is like exhausting the resources to catch all the fish. The key point lies in the word "sustainability". Losing customers is a loss for Wenrui.
If one commits sin because of it and deducts the merits of Heaven, then one will suffer even more losses.
But the tragedy has already happened, and regret is of no use. All we can do is to rescue as many people as possible and try to recover some of the losses.
Worriedly, Wen Rui led the equally worried Cheng Ziwei into the emergency operating room. While debugging the multifunctional intelligent automatic surgical platform, he kept reviewing the causes and consequences of the secret realm tragedy in his mind, analyzing whether he was the culprit.
Putting aside the facts, although Wen Rui was wrong to modify the formation, were those elders of the sect who rashly modified the rules for exploring the secret realm not at all wrong?
The rule changes were kept secret and had to be announced at the last minute, leaving Wen Rui no chance to remedy the situation. The obligation to remind was fulfilled, but the elders of the major sects did not take it seriously. It was obvious that they were more responsible, right?
Moreover, the root cause of this disaster is that several major sects are deeply infected with the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance from top to bottom, plundering resources and dividing the spoils unevenly, and condoning infighting among their disciples.
If the major sects discovered top-grade spiritual treasures in the secret realms, they would auction them publicly, and donate all the proceeds from the auction to charity, so as to benefit all people in the three realms. This would definitely not bring disaster.
Thinking about it this way, Wen Rui felt that his problem was not that big. The major sects had clearly brought disaster upon themselves. If the law of nature was fair, it should not be his turn to bear the blame.
From another perspective, this is also to help fellow disciples of the Chan Sect to enhance their immersion in actual combat training, improve their training level, and lay a solid foundation for the future cause of eliminating demons and defending the Dao. With such a good starting point, how could Wen Rui be a bad guy?
He did these things secretly without seeking fame. He is simply a good person who "does good things without worrying about the future."
In short, no matter whether he committed this sin or not, he should first seek clarity of mind and peace of mind. If the truth is revealed in the future, he will not have to make up excuses to justify himself.
After completing the adjustment of his flexible moral bottom line and doing self-psychological counseling, Wen Rui put his worries aside and focused on rescuing the injured monks.
Old Hu had already negotiated with several major sects about all matters concerning the Chamber of Commerce's clinic taking in the wounded, and the stretcher teams began to carry the wounded to the door of the clinic one after another.
It's not that the major sects are incapable of treating the wounded, but there was a sudden large number of casualties in a short period of time, and the medical pills and medical spell specialists prepared in advance were insufficient.
High-level elixirs and spells can bring seriously injured and dying people back from the brink of death, but elixirs are scarce and expensive, and spells consume an astonishing amount of spiritual energy.
Each of the elixirs that could cure the dead and whiten the bones was worth hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones. A Yuanying cultivator could barely afford it, but it was not easy for a Jindan cultivator to gather so many spiritual stones. Moreover, the raw materials for refining high-level elixirs were very scarce and could not be mass-produced.
In this world of extraordinary powers, magical healing spells are a black box technology. Their basic scientific principles are unknown, but there are clear rules for their use. The more magical the effect, the greater the price to pay.
Therefore, even for a monk who specializes in healing, treating three or five critically ill patients in a row will use up all his spiritual energy, and he will have to rest and regulate his breathing for a whole day.
Monks with higher levels of cultivation may be able to treat more people, but there is a limit to the number of people that can be treated each day. If there are too many, no one can handle it.
Immortals may be able to break the restrictions, but there are no immortals in the camp.
The four major sects of the orthodox teaching do not seem to be as close and harmonious as they appear. The Mahayana elder of the Jade Ding Sect is the most skilled person in Chinese medicine in the camp, but he is only willing to treat the disciples of the Jade Ding Sect. He will not start treating disciples of other sects until all the disciples of the Jade Ding Sect are rescued.
But after the disciples of Yuding Immortal Sect were cured by the Mahayana elder, they immediately re-equipped themselves and entered the secret realm again. After a while, they were injured again and escaped. This cycle went on endlessly. It is estimated that the injured from other sects will never be able to get a chance to wait.
The Jade Ding Immortal Sect opened a spiritual medicine shop in the camp, which made a fortune from the disaster. It directly tripled the price of life-saving pills, making the already poor Jindan realm wounded even worse off.
Old Hu went to negotiate with several worried elders of the sects, and proposed that the Chamber of Commerce take the initiative to provide relatively low-priced medical services that could be reimbursed. Even though those elders knew that the quality of the Chamber of Commerce's spiritual medicines was completely inferior to that of the Jade Ding Immortal Sect, they knew that something was better than nothing, and the situation was too urgent, so they agreed immediately with the idea of trying everything possible.
In addition, the elders also arranged for disciples from their respective sects to join the stretcher team to transport the wounded to the first aid station set up in the city clinic.
The first injured person was soon sent into the emergency room. Wen Rui directed Cheng Ziwei to carry the man to the operating table and began treatment by operating the complex equipment.
This wounded man was attacked by some kind of magical beast in the secret realm. There was a deep wound on his chest that could be seen to tear the bone. The wound was bloody and the broken ribs could be seen directly. There were also two bloody holes on his shoulder bitten by sharp fangs.
What's more serious is that this person kept vomiting blood, which shows that his internal organs were damaged. The internal injuries might be more serious than the horrific external injuries that appeared on the surface. He was now in critical condition and it was obvious that he would not survive.
With such serious injuries, the elders of the Jade Ding Immortal Sect might be able to save the patient by using their great magical powers, but the ordinary rejuvenation spells and Wood Spirit Techniques will have little effect.
Healing spells such as the Rejuvenation Spell and the Wood Spirit Spell are more effective in healing simple injuries with neat incisions.
However, serious injuries such as bloody wounds and displacement of bones, flesh and fascia will be aggravated by the spell's stimulation of cell division and accelerated metabolism, leading to disordered tissue proliferation and disordered connections between nerves and blood vessels, which will accelerate the death of the injured person. Even if the life is saved, serious sequelae will be left behind.
Wen Rui activated the auxiliary function of the intelligent operating table. Several slender robotic arms with surgical tools connected at one end hung down from above. The breathing mask was automatically put on the injured person's face by the robotic arms, and anesthetics were injected into the injured person's blood vessels.
Wen Rui performed the operation, and with the assistance of countless robotic arms, he carried out the debridement process, searched for damaged internal organs and performed suture operations.
