The New Neighbor Text Chapter 002



002

Unless something unexpected happens, Xu Qiao will work five days a week, including four day shifts and one night shift.

The day shift is from eight to five.

At 7:50, Xu Qiao put on her white coat and came out of the locker room. She greeted her colleagues who passed by and went to the third floor of the clinic to check the recovery status of her two patients.

People with superpowers only have better physiques than ordinary people and have increased resistance to some bacteria and viruses, but they will still get sick when they should, and they will need more treatment if they suffer trauma.

Patient No. 1 had early-stage skin cancer. He came to "Dr. Hua Clinic" because he didn't want to queue up at the hospital, and because Xu Qiao's charges were the cheapest, he dubiously chose her, a young doctor who had only been practicing for less than two years.

Wearing a mask, Xu Qiao checked No. 1's injury with calm eyes, and said: "The recovery is good, and you can be discharged."

The treatment of the superpower doctor is divided into three levels:

primary treatment: ordinary treatment in the old era, It does not consume any mental energy, is low cost and has a long course of treatment.

Intermediate treatment: combining mental power with medical equipment and drugs, with medium cost and short treatment course.

Advanced treatment: It consumes a lot of mental energy to instantly restore the injured to the best state for treatment. The cost is high and the treatment course is extremely short.

For severe trauma or internal lesions, most of the superpowers in the base will choose affordable intermediate treatment, using the doctor's mental power to operate instruments to achieve rapid removal of lesions and rapid healing of deep wounds, greatly shortening the time in bed, and then Restore to full health through ordinary healing methods.

Patient No. 2 was a three-year-old naughty boy who accidentally cut off a finger. His grandfather quickly sent him to the nearest clinic, where Xu Qiao performed a follow-up surgery on the little boy.

The little boy's parents are still working as mercenaries outside the base, and their grandfather is accompanying them.

When Xu Qiao bent over to check the little boy's fingers, the old man looked at her clear and clean eyes, which seemed to still retain the innocence of the campus. He smiled and praised: "Doctor Xu is really young and promising. Yesterday, I couldn't believe you. "I didn't expect you to treat our family so well. Your skills are no worse than those of the old doctors in big hospitals."

Xu Qiao just smiled, touched the top of the little boy's head, and said to the old man: "The bones and nerves inside are all gone." It's healed and only the superficial wound is left. Should you treat it again or go home and take care of it?"

The old man looked ashamed and regretful: "My son and my daughter-in-law gave me my grandson because I was careless and let my grandson suffer in vain. If you don’t tell me, I’ll spend 10,000 points.”

Xu Qiao listened silently.

When the old man saw that she didn't answer, a flash of embarrassment flashed across his face, and he asked bravely: "Dr. Xu, my son and daughter-in-law may come back tomorrow. These 10,000 points are spent on my pension money. I admit it myself, but I don’t want them to scold me for being useless. Look, can you take care of me a little more and spend some energy to help Qiangqiang heal it directly? Anyway, there is only a little skin injury left, so it doesn’t take much energy.”

Not wanting Number 1 next door to hear him, the old man kept his voice low, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes piled up, revealing a look of pleading that he couldn't bear to refuse.

Xu Qiao turned his back to No. 1 and refused softly: "I'm sorry, our clinic has regulations."

C-level doctors have limited mental capacity. Xu Qiao can only perform seven bone-setting surgeries like this every day. Any more will affect the performance. state.

If she secretly helps the little boy now, what if she receives a serious patient during the day and loses this little mental strength?

Although she may already have B-level mental power, Xu Qiao must be disguised.

Besides, the old man only needs to pay another hundred points to restore his grandson's fingers to their original state. He himself is reluctant to spend a hundred points for his grandson, so why should he ask her, an outsider, to consume a hundred points worth of mental energy for the little boy?

"You can think about it again. If you have any needs, you can talk to the nurse on duty."

After saying that, Xu Qiao left the ward and went to Clinic 206 on the second floor.

Half an hour later, the nurse on duty came and asked her to issue a discharge note for the little boy.

One hundred points can buy ten bottles of mid-level nutrient solution, which is enough for low-level superpowers to eat for three days. It's normal for the old man to be reluctant to part with it.

There was an hour and a half break at noon, and Xu Qiao followed his colleagues to the canteen.

The staff meals at the clinic are meat and vegetables, which is very good. Some companies only provide nutritional solutions to their employees.

Xu Qiao put the dinner plate on the table and opened the tablet he brought over. While eating, he browsed the posts on the rental section, focusing on the rent prices in nearby communities.

"Why are you reading this?" Zhao Lu sat down next to her, glanced at the tablet and asked in confusion.

Zhao Lu is twenty-seven years old this year. Compared with the other mature and steady doctors in the institute, Zhao Lu prefers to be close to Xu Qiao.

Xu Qiao: "Xiaoyang wants to rent out the house, I will check the market for him."

Zhao Lu: "It must be expensive over there. The monthly rent for a single room is 3,000 points, right?"

The second ring of the base accommodates more than 5 million people. For those with special abilities, the closer to the central area of ​​the inner ring, the higher the housing prices.

The Ping An Community where the Xu family lives is located on the west side of the Second Ring Road, only one kilometer away from the west gate of the central area, and surrounded by supermarkets, hospitals, and schools.

Other communities are all high-rise buildings, with more than a dozen households squeezed into one floor. Ping An Community is all six-story board buildings, with two households on each floor, which is spacious and comfortable.

At this time, Xu Qiao also summed up the market situation. The Lu family had three bedrooms and two living rooms, without a yard. The rent was in the range of 7,000 to 10,000.

After work in the evening, Xu Qiao rode his bicycle home and had a simple dinner. Xu Qiao clicked on the communication bracelet and sent a message to Lu Yang: [Can I go to your place to take some photos? Used for posting rental posts. ]

Lu Yang just came out of the school cafeteria and had two classes in the evening. When he received this message, he replied: [Convenient, my room may be a bit messy. 】

Xu Qiao: 【Well, I’ll send it to you after the filming. ]

She and Lu Yang both had spare keys to both houses. After getting Lu Yang's permission, Xu Qiao went directly there.

It was dusk outside the window, and the bright sunset poured in from the balcony, illuminating half of the living room.

There is also a wedding photo of Uncle Lu and his wife hanging on one wall.

Xu Qiao collected all the photos before starting to take pictures, and then put them back after taking them.

The Lu family, with only one middle school student left, was empty and quiet, except for Lu Yang's bedroom, which had some atmosphere of life.

Xu Qiao took a total of eight photos of the three-bedroom, two-living room, kitchen, bathroom, and courtyard outside the window. After Lu Yang confirmed that they were correct, Xu Qiao began editing the rental post.

Although the decoration of Lu's house is not that new, Xu Qiao still set a price of 10,000 points because the view of the courtyard outside the window of Lu's house can provide positive emotional value.

After Xu Qiao woke up the next day, he turned on his communication bracelet in silent mode and found several new messages from strangers. They were all asking about the Lu family's house. Some people thought it was too expensive and wanted to bargain. After being rejected, they spoke out. She was insulted, some asked about the landlord's house, and some made appointments with her to view the property.

It actually took a lot of time to process the trivial news.

When breakfast was ready, Xu Qiao called Lu Yang over to eat together.

Xu Qiao: "Have you packed everything?"

Lu Yang: "Yeah."

Xu Qiao: "Then you go to school. I'll be back early in the evening. I'll move all your things over here first, so that I can arrange to see the house tomorrow. "

Lu Yang: "Move now, it's not much, I'm stronger than you anyway."

Of course he knew that Xu Qiao was a C-level superpower, and his physique was stronger than that of an ordinary three-ring armed policeman, but Xu Qiao was in his eyes. Qiao had fair skin and a slender figure, resembling the fragile beauty in the movie who needed the protection of a high-level superpower. Lu Yang didn't want Xu Qiao to do the hard work of moving around.

Xu Qiao put down his chopsticks, put his right elbow on the table, and invited: "Come, let's see who is stronger."

Lu Yang's eyes fell on Xu Qiao's raised right hand, with long slender fingers, as white as jade.

Arm wrestling?

Lu Yang couldn't imagine how to hold her tightly, let alone be pressed down by her. If he really wanted to compete, he would have to wait until he awakened his spiritual body.

He speeded up his eating, put down the bowl, stood up and said: "I'm going to move things."

Xu Qiao: "..."

Most of the people who like to rent houses in high-end communities in the Second Ring Road are professional mercenaries, and professional mercenaries often go to the base. Doing tasks outside has high risks and high returns. Some people like to buy a house, while others want to enjoy themselves immediately. Instead of spending millions of points to buy a house that you may not live in for a long time, it is better to rent a good house and spend the points on On pleasure.

People came to Lu's house one after another to look at the house. There were couples who were both professional mercenaries, there were mercenary teams of two or three people, and there were also fierce-looking single mercenaries. They were basically C-level superpowers, and higher. Mercenaries of this level can rent a house in the central area and enjoy a better living environment.

Xu Qiao and Lu Yang patiently selected.

Xu Qiao hopes that her new neighbor will be good-tempered and easy to get along with. Out of concern for Xu Qiao's safety, Lu Yang only wants to find female tenants with a relatively low sense of threat.

The base severely punishes crimes, but it cannot stand that some people with special abilities will commit crimes of passion. After killing people and setting fires, they will ruthlessly leave the base and never come back.

"What's wrong with this couple?"

he smiled as he sent the mercenary couple away. Turning around, Xu Qiao glared at Lu Yang angrily.

Lu Yang pursed his lips, looked at the back of the male mercenary and said, "The man has been peeking at you."

Xu Qiao: "...Okay, I will listen to you this time, but next time I meet someone I think is appropriate, even if Even if you object, I will settle it, unless you don't need me to control it."

Lu Yang agreed, recalling the busy scene of her replying to other people's messages even while eating.

In the afternoon, Xu Qiao was seeing a patient, and the screen of her communication bracelet suddenly flickered. It lit up.

After the patient left, Xu Qiao clicked on the bracelet.

Another message from an unknown number: [Excuse me, is the house posted by ID Xiaochi still there? 】

Little Pond is the ID nickname Xu Qiao filled in when he registered for the forum.

Xu Qiao: [Yes. ]

Unknown number: [I rented it. ]

Xu Qiao was silent for a few seconds and asked: [Don't you need to see the house? ]

Unknown number: [If you need it, you can. 】

Xu Qiao was silent again. After being picked on and haggled for so many times, this tenant was too happy.

However, she still wanted to get to know the other person while viewing the house, so as not to accidentally find a difficult neighbor.

Xu Qiao: [When is it convenient for you? 】

Unfamiliar number: 【Anything is OK, it depends on your convenience. 】

Xu Qiao thought for a while and replied: 【One o'clock tomorrow afternoon? ]

Unknown number: [Okay, see you tomorrow. 】

The conversation ended and a new patient came in. Xu Qiao suppressed the slight surprise caused by this cheerful tenant and concentrated on his work.
