Chapter 71 Mysterious Boss
More than half a month ago, Chen Wangping bought a plane ticket back to China and packed all his documents to return home.
While the environment abroad was different from that in China, the airport was also located in a sparsely populated suburb. She made the trip twice a year, but this time, for some reason, traffic was incredibly congested. In order to catch her flight, and with the airport not far away, Chen Wangping decided to run there, suitcase in hand.
"Although I was anxious, I was watching the road as I walked. I was sure the road ahead was flat and there were no obstacles, let alone theft of manhole covers. But I fell anyway. For no apparent reason, my feet suddenly felt empty and I fell. I still remember the pain of the sudden weightlessness."
In an inn in the ancient city of Odin, three people sat in a slightly old room. Chen Wangping held the water cup tightly in his fingers and slowly recalled the situation at that time.
Humans are a species that relies on gravity to survive safely. All organs in the body will feel uncomfortable when suddenly losing weight, and the discomfort in the brain and heart is more obvious. Perhaps this is because these two places are closer to human consciousness?
Chen Wangping's mind was in a state of chaos, and she had completely forgotten even her abilities as a surgeon. When she regained consciousness, she found herself in a strange place.
"The language and customs here are different from my old world. At first, I thought this was some remote country and I was kidnapped." Looking back on some of her initial behavior, Chen Wangping finds it amusing. "But there's no sign of kidnapping on me. My phone, clothes, ID, everything is in its proper place. At first, I tried to find a cell phone signal and leave. It wasn't until I left Nightingale Town and witnessed the battle between the extraordinary and the demons that I realized I couldn't go back."
After a brief moment of grief and confusion, Chen Wangping quickly gathered herself and worked hard to survive in this place. "I returned to my old profession as a doctor in Nightingale Town, struggling to communicate with the locals, using gestures and hand gestures. Fortunately, a medical license is not required here; otherwise, I really don't know how I would have survived."
While this world's technological level is far inferior to Earth's, it doesn't necessarily lag behind. The use of supernatural powers and the existence of tangible "gods" imbue this world with a brilliance that rivals even technological civilization.
"But there aren't that many patients in Nightingale Town who need my treatment. My income is too little, just enough to rent a small house and make ends meet. I'm not content with this. I want to buy books and learn more about this world and about extraordinary people. I've observed that the poor here have no means of contraception and can only have children one after another, so I go out and give speeches to tell them the benefits of sterilization."
Seeing the young woman's curious look, Chen Wangping softened her tone. "I used two animals to demonstrate to them, explaining that female sterilization is more expensive, more costly, and more susceptible to infection and disease, while male sterilization is simpler, less expensive, and can be reversed if regrets arise, without affecting the couple's sexual life. By then, I had already treated quite a few people with my method, and many believed me. Furthermore, the contraceptive methods used by the poor here are incredibly cruel. There was once a woman who had given birth to seven children. I heard somewhere that swallowing mercury would prevent them from having more children, and she ended up dying of mercury poisoning... Many women would go back and persuade their husbands to come to me for sterilizations. I gradually became quite famous, sometimes performing several in a single day."
Duoduo asked curiously, "Without a sterile room and modern medicine, how did you do it? Did you already have supernatural powers?"
Chen Wangping nodded. “There are no extraordinary people in Nightingale Town, and no one has taught me. It was just that one day, suddenly, I found that I seemed to be a little different. I could see more clearly, and I had better physical strength. The patients I treated would recover faster.” But it was also because no one taught him that Chen Wangping did not know how to restrain his power, which is why he was seen through by the bandit leader today.
"He can see through me, but I can't see through him. This is the gap between extraordinary people." Chen Wangping sighed, "If you weren't here today, I really don't know what would have happened."
Duoduo took out two candies, gave one to Duoma, who was sitting obediently beside her, and peeled the other one herself, chewing it and finishing it. After hearing this, she looked at Chen Wangping seriously and said, "If it weren't for me, Duoma would have been killed for her fierce resistance, and you would have become the bandit leader's wife. Then one day you would have tricked the bandit leader into returning to Nightingale Town and killed him with the kitchen knife that Duoma once used."
Chen Wangping was stunned when the mysterious girl in front of him uttered a few words, "This is the future I see."
Chen Wangping was stunned for a full minute, then suddenly reached out and hugged Duoma tightly. They had been speaking Mandarin, which Duoma didn't understand. Suddenly being hugged, she was dazed for a moment, then quickly smiled and hugged Chen Wangping's neck, "Auntie Chen, are you going home?"
Chen Wangping was stunned. Duo Ma patted her slightly trembling back, comforting her just as her mother had comforted her sisters. "Everyone in town used to say that Aunt Chen looked different from us, but she was polite and well-mannered. She must be a young lady from a good place and would definitely come home one day."
"Aunt Chen, please go back with this sister! Doma will take good care of herself."
But Duo Ma was only six! She had experienced the pain of her family being torn apart, and had come here on one limp, relying on Chen Wangping... This untimely tragedy had made her mature quickly, but she was still only six years old. Even as she spoke such sensible words, tears welled up in her eyes.
Chen Wangping looked at Duoma for a long time, and suddenly said to Duoduo, "Can you take her back with you?"
Duoduo was still eating calcium candy. When she heard this, she tilted her head slightly and let out a cry.
Chen Wangping pleaded, "I know this is difficult, but she's only six years old and her leg hasn't healed yet. How can she survive if we leave her here alone?"
Duoduo seemed to think her worry was strange, "You can find a family to adopt her!"
Chen Wangping: "But she has already started to remember things, and I'm afraid she will be abused."
Duoduo waved his hands. "What is abuse? Beatings, scoldings, hunger and cold, working from morning till night, isn't this the daily life of poor children in this world?"
But Nightingale Town is gone. She and Doma have depended on each other until now. She saved Doma and Doma also saved her. She can no longer bear to leave Doma alone.
Duoduo glanced at her, then at Duoma, who looked bewildered, and muttered, "Really? It makes me look like the bad guy who broke you up."
"I'm sorry." Chen Wangping looked at her pleadingly, "I swear, as long as you can help me this time, I'm willing to do anything as long as I can."
Duoduo thought for a moment and winked at her. "Okay, but you have to know that the success of a transaction depends on whether the value delivered by both parties meets the universal definition of the principle of equal exchange."
Chen Wangping's lips trembled. "I understand that traveling through time and space isn't easy. As long as I can do it, anything is possible. Even if you take away my extraordinary abilities."
Duoduo shook her head, her eyes very bright as she stared at Chen Wangping's hand, "You're a good doctor, aren't you?"
Chen Wangping nodded nervously. She was already in her thirties, but she felt a sense of fear under the gaze of the teenage girl in front of her.
Duoduo's eyes lit up, "It just so happens that my boss's store is short of a doctor position. As long as you promise to work in my boss's store, do your best, and never leave, I will help you."
Chen Wangping couldn't believe it. "It's that simple. Isn't it about equal exchange..."
Duoduo leaned back in his chair, took a deep sip of juice, and then said, "For our boss, traveling between different worlds is a very simple matter."
Chen Wangping sat there in a daze, her expression clearly shocked. She trembled and asked, "Excuse me, who is your boss..."
Duoduo raised an eyebrow, puffed out her chest, and beamed with pride. Only at this moment did she reveal some of the innocence of a young girl. She said, "I think you should have heard of him. He is the owner of Fantasy Paradise."
It turned out to be a fantasy park... Chen Wangping opened his mouth slightly and his pupils dilated slightly.
