Chapter 145: Cannot Live Much Longer
Gu Yu usually dealt severely with those who tried to deceive him.
Therefore, seeing that the person speaking was being half truthful and half false, Gu Yu started to deceive them in return.
Although long-term use of painkillers did cause some damage to a person’s body, it wasn’t as bizarre as Gu Yu had said.
The worst-case scenario was that a person’s reaction time would slow down.
However, for people like assassins, it was fatal!
Speed was life.
If one was a step slower than others, the roles of attacker and victim would be reversed…
Of course, it had not yet been confirmed that the person sitting opposite him was an assassin, so Gu Yu did not make a final judgment directly.
He simply continued to deceive, hoping to trick some information out of the other party later to determine the origin of this guy and why he was looking for him here.
Gu Yu had previously thought that the other party was sent by another medical hall to cause trouble, but looking at the hidden injuries on this person’s body, unless they wanted to send someone to kill him…
Otherwise, other medical halls would never be willing to spend a fortune to hire such an expert to cause trouble.
After Qiu Ju heard Gu Yu’s words, he immediately panicked, wondering what he should do next!
He had only come to see how capable Gu Yu was, to be able to thwart his master’s multiple plans.
However, after being diagnosed by Gu Yu, Qiu Ju was completely convinced, knowing that Gu Yu was not overrated.
His medical skills were truly profound…
He had only given him a cursory examination and immediately pinpointed all the problems with his body!
If his martial arts had any problems, let alone the arrangements made for him by the organization, his old enemies from his younger days, upon hearing this news, would have hastened their horses to take his life.
No, he couldn’t die!
He couldn’t die at this time before he saw his master unify all the countries!
“This… What should I do! Doctor Gu, I have plenty of silver. As long as you can cure my body, money is not a problem.”
Hearing Qiu Ju’s words, Gu Yu couldn’t help but smile slightly, thinking that this caught fish was incredibly stupid.
He believed so easily…
Did he think that Gu Yu had any medical ethics and wouldn’t joke about treating illnesses?
If that’s what he thought, then he was sorry.
Gu Yu did as he pleased, and his actions did not require anyone to point fingers.
If he wanted to do something, he did it. If he wanted to scam someone, he scammed them.
In short, he would scam you without any negotiation.
“Your current symptoms can be treated, but to be completely cured, it’s a bit difficult…”
“Doctor Gu, you mean… I can be completely cured?”
“That’s right, not only the problem with the painkillers, but also the hidden injuries in your body can be resolved.”
“If it’s really possible, I’m willing to pay with all my assets!”
Hearing Gu Yu say that he could treat his body’s hidden injuries, Qiu Ju’s face immediately showed an anxious expression, thinking that after searching fruitlessly, he hadn’t expected to have new progress with Gu Yu.
Gu Yu could actually treat his hidden injuries!
This was truly a godsend!
If he could be cured by Gu Yu, he could serve his master for a few more years.
“Doctor Gu, I sincerely want to cure my body. No matter the cost, I will definitely do it!”
“In that case, let me show you a way! Your body is too severely damaged. If you want to recover completely, you will need 30 Thousand-year Ice Silkworms as a nourishing medicinal guide to cure your body.”
“30 Thousand-year Ice Silkworms…”
“This is also why I was unwilling to say it at first, because it requires a very high price, but your body is getting worse and worse…”
At this moment, Gu Yu showed a look of regret on his face. As he shook his head at Qiu Ju, he made Qiu Ju feel like he had just been sentenced to death.
He wouldn’t live much longer.
Compared to his life, what were a few Thousand-year Ice Silkworms!
“Doctor Gu, I will definitely bring back the Thousand-year Ice Silkworms! When the time comes, I hope you will be forgiving if I trouble you at Gu Residence.”
“That’s nothing. After all, a doctor’s heart is like a parent’s. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be sitting in residency here today and not charging any fees… However, I am not staying in the capital for long. In ten days at most, I will be leaving the capital. It will be very difficult for you to find me afterwards.”
Showing a worried look on his face, Gu Yu was truly impressed by his own acting skills.
A man with such perfect acting skills as him was truly hard to find even with a lantern!
Look at the guy sitting opposite him, he actually believed him.
He was too stupid!
His reason for sitting in residency at Yu Ning Medical Hall this time was simply to expand his reputation.
This would make it easier for more people to exchange Longevity Pills and bring him various treasures continuously.
Of course, Gu Yu hoped for more people like Qiu Ju who were easily deceived, so that he would have plenty of manpower to search for Thousand-year Ice Silkworms everywhere.
Later, making more Longevity Pills would also allow him to exchange for more treasures.
Tsk tsk, he was truly too smart!
As for letting people of unknown origin search for Thousand-year Ice Silkworms, wasn’t that too risky? He would wait until the other party’s identity was confirmed before deciding, which would be safer…
Gu Yu did not think that such a safe idea was a good way.
After all, even if the other party’s identity was confirmed, would he still not want the Thousand-year Ice Silkworms?
Compared to the other party’s purpose, Gu Yu preferred to see the chubby bodies of the Thousand-year Ice Silkworms crawling in front of him, eventually being made into cute little pills.
“I heard that Doctor Gu lives in Lian Town. If I can’t find you in the capital, then Lian Town…”
“You don’t know this, but my wife is a military general, and she might go to the battlefield at any time. As a family member, I naturally have to go with her… If it really happens to be so unfortunate, are you going to look for me on the battlefield?”
“This…”
Upon hearing Gu Yu talk about going to the battlefield, Qiu Ju’s face also showed a look of difficulty. He didn’t think Gu Yu was exaggerating or lying.
This made Gu Yu raise his eyebrows curiously, thinking that the other party had collected a lot of information about him!
If ordinary people heard Gu Yu eagerly rushing to the battlefield, they would definitely think he was talking nonsense. After all, Gu Yu was just a doctor. What use could he, who had no power to even restrain a chicken, be on the battlefield?
At most, he could help people with their illnesses.
However, there were many professional wound-healing doctors on the battlefield. Sending Gu Yu there would be a complete waste of talent, making people sigh that it was too wasteful.
If Gu Yu had time, he might as well help those seriously ill people by prescribing and treating them.
“Okay, then in ten days, I will definitely find 30 Thousand-year Ice Silkworms.”
Afterward, seeing Qiu Ju nod solemnly, Gu Yu suppressed the urge to laugh out loud, thinking to himself, “Free labor +1.”
