In an extremely coincidental situation, Zhang Lisheng, who had inexplicably broken through to Rank-5 Wizard with the help of Crocodragon's transformation, was only one step away from transforming to Rank-6 Wizard. However, due to the reason that his body had begun to 'turn from life to death', his vital signs had become lower than a normal person's. For this reason, he was trapped in the hospital by his emergency doctor.
In the ward of Bellucci Hospital 50 kilometers away from Mutteslow, the only wizard gu that the young man was confident to summon without alerting anyone was the Island Dragon. However, the wizard gu that he would use for his first crucial transformation would never choose the Island Dragon that possessed the omniscient power of 'materialization' no matter what.
For this reason, Zhang Lisheng could only stay in the hospital and wait in vain, constantly telling the doctor that he had completely recovered and that his physical condition was unprecedentedly good, so he could be discharged at any time.
"Dr. Springs, I'm completely fine now, really! Look at how strong my arm is! Let me leave the hospital! Don't waste the public medical resources of the US government anymore! Otherwise, I'll ask my lawyer to sue you for overtreating the patient and abusing drugs!"
Zhang Lisheng, who had been transferred to the general ward, said half-truthfully when the doctor made his routine ward rounds in the morning.
"I saw the lawyer who came to you with the documents a few days ago. I can tell that he's not simple at first glance." The middle-aged doctor stood by Zhang Lisheng's bed and looked at the case file. Glancing at the monitor that had an obviously low value, he said casually, "But the monitor won't lie, young man.
With such a value recorded in the case file, as a minor, you won't be able to win against me no matter which state's court you go to.
If you want to leave the hospital now, unless your mother signs it, you can only stay here. "
"Sh * t! Then how long do I have to stay in the hospital? I can't just stay in the ward for the rest of my life because my vital signs are low, right?"
"According to the usual practice, you'll have to undergo two to three months of medical observation. If there's no problem during this period, it'll prove that your vital signs are low and you'll be discharged.
Let me tell you, the decision on whether it's two or three months of observation is in my hands. You've only been hospitalized for less than three weeks so it's best for you to maintain a respectful attitude towards me and not threaten to sue me.
Nurse Christine, the patient in the second bed of room A21 still doesn't need any infusion treatment today. Give him two multivitamin tablets for lunch and dinner. I'll see you tomorrow, Mr. Lisheng. "The doctor smiled at Zhang Lisheng who had a bitter expression and left the ward.
After the doctor left, a fat old white man who was staying in the same ward as the young man began to persuade the young man kindly, "Doctors are being responsible for your own good, child. I used to be in a hospital in Kunsang City, Maryland, and I had a bad cold …"
He had been living such a depressing life for 20 consecutive days and had obtained the transformation power. The path to becoming a Rank-6 Wizard was already right under his feet, but because of the ridiculous reason of being trapped in the hospital, it had been delayed indefinitely. Finally, Zhang Lisheng, who had experienced several near-death situations, could no longer maintain a calm state of mind.
Dressed in a hospital gown, the skinny young man hid in the washroom and called Maddy. "I'm going crazy. Really, Maddy, I'm going crazy.
Listen, you're my servant so you should listen to any of my orders. Right now, I'm ordering you to bring a few men's clothes to the ward and help me escape from the hospital. Do you hear me? Now! "
"Mr. Lisheng, calm down and listen to me. Whether a patient can be discharged from the hospital depends on the doctor's diagnosis. I've seen many cases of sudden death on the Internet because they didn't care about their low vital signs …"
"I'm different from them! Y-You should know that I'm different from them!" Zhang Lisheng, who was very cautious when using public communication tools, growled in annoyance.
"But Madam Lili will definitely go to see you at noon. If she doesn't let you leave the hospital, it'll be futile even if you escape. Sooner or later, you'll still …"
"I don't care anymore this time. I need a few hours to go back to the factory. You must help me!"
Maddy hesitated for a while on the phone. "Then, you must promise me to go back to the hospital after you've finished your business at the factory."
"Alright, I promise."
"Really!"
"Really, Maddy! Please come quickly! I need you!"
On the other end of the phone, Maddy, who had never heard Zhang Lisheng say such words to her before, was stunned. "Okay! I-I'll go to the hospital right away! Right away …"
After hanging up the phone, the young man's words of 'please come quickly! I need you' still lingered in her ears. The girl, who was planning to buy breakfast on the streets of New York, began to search for the shops selling men's clothing on both sides of the street in a panic.
Not long after, she had already prepared the clothes for Zhang Lisheng and rushed to Bellucci Hospital.
Twenty minutes later, Zhang Lisheng, who was sitting on the hospital bed and waiting impatiently, finally saw the door of the ward being pushed open. Maddy walked in with a brand new paper bag.
The young man breathed a long sigh of relief. "You're finally here! Let's talk in the corridor!" Running down the bed, he pushed the girl out of the ward.
"What's wrong, Lisheng?" Maddy cleverly seized the opportunity of helping Zhang Lisheng escape from the hospital to change the way she addressed him back to 'Lisheng' and asked curiously.
"It's not like you don't know how nosy Mr. Durard, who's staying in the same ward with me, is. When he sees me changing, he'll definitely report to the nurse right away.
I'll go to the bathroom in the corridor to change, wait for me. " Zhang Lisheng reached out to take the paper bag from the girl's hand and hurriedly rushed to the hospital's public bathroom along the corridor.
A few minutes later, he walked out wearing a blue denim suit that fitted him perfectly. "Maddy, I didn't expect the clothes you bought to fit me so well. Let's go now."
Upon hearing this, the girl hesitated for a moment and nodded all of a sudden. "Let's pretend to be a couple who's visiting a friend. No one will find out that you're a patient who hasn't been discharged yet." Mustering her courage, she took the initiative to hold the young man's arm and walked to the hospital entrance.
Zhang Lisheng's body obviously froze but he did not say anything. With a slightly flushed face, he was pulled by Maddy and walked out of the hospital.
The two of them got into the girl's old Ford car. The young man sat in the passenger seat and casually said, "Maddy, this car of yours has been here for too long.
You can buy a good new car with just 10,000 dollars. Didn't I give you an advance on your salary? "
"Even though this car doesn't look new, it's well maintained and it's easy to drive. I don't think there's a need to change cars.
I've saved the salary that you've given me. New York University is a private school and it's expensive. I must earn enough first … "
"Oh, I've neglected that. Don't worry, I'll pay for your tuition in the future …"
"Why are you so nice to me? Is it just because I'm your servant?" The girl asked all of a sudden.
Zhang Lisheng thought about it with his mouth agape. He had no idea how to answer, so he turned his head to look out of the car and pretended like he heard nothing.
Maddy smiled maturely when she saw the young man's behavior. "Do you know, Lisheng? Sometimes you're just like a child when you do things," She did not say anything until they drove out of New York City and into the new LS Slaughterhouse.
Zhang Lisheng had not been to Mutteslow for close to three weeks. A large part of the empty saline-alkali land that belonged to him had become a busy construction site again.
It seemed like the second expansion of the slaughterhouse that the young man authorized Edward to carry out in the hospital ward had already been carried out in full swing.
Due to the perfect financial situation and profitability shown in the recent half a year, as well as the huge development potential that could be predicted in the future, none of the banks on Wall Street would reject a quality customer like Zhang Lisheng.
In an incredibly short period of time, the newly established LS Group easily obtained a commercial loan of hundreds of millions of USD with preferential interest, so much so that the scale of the second expansion of the slaughterhouse was at least four times larger than the first one.
If it was not for the reasonable planning that was made during the design stage, the construction would have seriously affected the normal operation of the factory at this stage.
However, to Zhang Lisheng, the expansion and operation of the slaughterhouse were not worth his attention at all. When Maddy's car stopped outside his independent two-story office building, he said, "Wait for me on the first floor, Maddy." Then, he pushed the car door open and rushed into the office building as if he was in a 100-meter race.
Half a minute later, the young man had already pushed the door and walked into the office that he had not returned to for 20 days.
Looking around, he saw that the office that was destroyed by the storm had been completely restored to its original state. He took a deep breath and took off his shirt. After casting a wizard's incantation to draw the word 'simplify' on his chest, he commanded Mountoad to turn invisible with his mind and hopped to him from the trench under the factory.
Later on, the young man cast the 'transform' spell on Mountoad and refined the wizard gu for the last time. He muttered to himself, "Transform, transform …" and closed his eyes.
However, when he was about to cast the transformation method slowly to absorb all of Mountoad's omniscient power, his heart jolted all of a sudden and he opened his eyes again.
"Crocodragon, Crocodragon …" Zhang Lisheng frowned and muttered the other wizard gu's name while pondering. However, he chuckled and closed his eyes again.
This time, the young man no longer hesitated and began to exhale the breath in his body slowly. After exhaling for close to 20 minutes, he seemed to have exhaled all of the air in his lungs completely, causing his chest to sink deeply.
After exhaling, Zhang Lisheng opened his eyes and looked directly at Mountoad that was squatting by his feet. When he was about to inhale, he suddenly noticed that the spikes on the wizard gu's body had already bloomed on its skin after being immersed in the blood sea for three weeks and refined for the fifth time. It had turned into an image that looked like its entire body was covered with strange flowers.
A thought flashed across the young man's mind. To his surprise, he stopped what he was doing again. After a series of expressions flashed across his face, he muttered, "Since the first transformation can be perfect, why should I rush it? I'll just have to wait for another one to two months."
As he was speaking, he took a deep breath and puffed up his chest again. He commanded Mountoad to turn invisible with the 'connect' spell and jumped into the trench under the factory that was filled with blood and organs before walking out of the office quickly.
