My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 1105: Chapter 436: Dubious Origins, Begging to Be a Medical Assistant

“You should go see Mu Qin off!” Old Qin sighed. “To help you achieve the best publicity effect, she repeatedly optimized the press release, reviewed every detail of the video, every picture, and even fought to schedule the program at the best time slot for viewership. Normally, she’s never been so kind to anyone…”

Zhou Can just listened silently.

The most difficult thing to bear is a beauty’s kindness.

Even if Old Qin hadn’t mentioned it, Zhou Can could have guessed part of what Mu Qin had done for him.

This time, the publicity effect was so strong that it exceeded expectations, even Director Lou said it was a miracle.

Other doctors had also appeared on TV shows, but their publicity effects were far inferior to Zhou Can’s. You should know, those people were famous figures in certain medical fields, while Zhou Can was just an unknown Resident Doctor.

It was precisely due to Mu Qin’s numerous efforts and dedication that made such great publicity results possible.

She was a professional journalist, very aware of how a sentence should be formulated and which words should be used to achieve the most emotional, promotional effect.

“When she was boarding the plane, she kept looking back. I know that she actually hoped you would go see her off. I’m just telling you this to get it off my chest; I have no other intentions, nor do I want to change anything. Goodbye.”

Old Qin hung up the phone.

Zhou Can remained silent, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and exhaled heavily.

Men are not made of stone or wood; who can be devoid of feelings?

He wasn’t heartless; he just couldn’t think of a perfect solution to such a deep emotional issue. Mu Qin was hurt deeply, and he was equally distressed.

“If she encounters any difficulties in the future, I will think of a way to make it up to her! If I can’t give her a future, then I must be ruthless in extinguishing all her hopes.”

The weakest individuals often commit the gravest wrongs.

The most cruel thing is to give someone hope, only to snuff it out with your own hands.

He instinctively checked his phone.

He unexpectedly found a message from that border pharmaceutical dealer.

“Boss Zhou, I’ll be at the same restaurant as last time around 7 PM. I’ll hand over the goods to you then, please prepare the remaining 200,000 balance.”

“OK!”

For Zhou Can, money was not an issue.

The dealer sent him a message in advance, probably worried that the bank would be closed by evening, making it difficult to withdraw money. It also allowed him to prepare ahead.

After all, this wasn’t a small sum.

After paying a deposit of 100,000, Zhou Can hadn’t urged the other party.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for so many days, there was finally some news. And they directly brought it to him.

This pharmaceutical dealer was quite trustworthy.

After work, he drove straight to the restaurant from last time.

On entering, he saw the same border pharmaceutical dealer eating. However, the other gatherer wasn’t present; it seemed the dealer had come alone.

“Hi, sorry for keeping you waiting.”

Zhou Can sat down opposite him.

“I just got here! Have you eaten? Feel free to order from the menu, my treat.”

The dealer appeared quite happy to see him arriving as promised.

“Thank you, thank you! I have other things to do later, so I won’t eat. Did you bring the goods?”

“Here you go!”

The other party was straightforward and pulled out a very vintage-looking animal hide pouch, tossing it directly to Zhou Can.

After receiving it, he untied the lockstring of the pouch, which contained a box.

Slightly transparent, it looked like it was crafted from thick crystal.

Zhou Can immediately recognized it as crystal.

Inside, he could vaguely see a dried frog corpse about the size of a child’s palm, in shades of brown and black.

“Does buying this get you a crystal box as a bonus?” Zhou Can asked with a smile.

“It’s the original box, comes with it. If you want to inspect the goods, I can accompany you to the restroom or your car.”

The dealer seemed quite secretive.

“Alright, then let’s wait for you to finish eating and go to my car.”

After the other finished eating, Zhou Can took him to the car, having already paid for the meal.

Zhou Can sat in the driver’s seat while the dealer sat in the passenger seat.

“You can open the box and inspect the goods now. The origin of this item is best kept in the dark; be careful when handing it to the next buyer. It’s best to change this box.”

“Alright, thanks for the reminder.”

That the dealer took so long to obtain this item suggested it was extremely difficult to procure.

No matter where it came from, Zhou Can didn’t ask.

He was willing to buy it, even if it was stolen or robbed, for the sake of saving his girlfriend.

In case of future exposure, he could claim ignorance of the purchase’s background, thus avoiding legal risks.

Taking out the crystal box, he noticed it was engraved with indecipherable runes. It looked like a small coffin.

Carefully, he opened the lid, releasing a fragrant scent that filled the car.

It was somewhat like musk, yet distinct.

The dried frog corpse inside was completely devoid of moisture. Its belly had been cut open, with the organs still intact.

Upon closer inspection, the shriveled brown skin displayed patterns, dotted with wart-like granules. Its limbs were noticeably thinner and longer than a common frog’s.

“Everything seems fine. I’ll transfer the remaining balance to you.”

Zhou Can immediately transferred the remaining 200,000.

“Thank you, Boss Zhou. Remember what I said, don’t tell the next buyer where this came from, and make sure to change the box. I’ll be on my way now.”

The dealer, having received the balance, didn’t linger and left swiftly.

Zhou Can took the item home,

Feeling extremely excited to have successfully purchased a key ingredient. He was filled with joy. There was only one last ingredient left, the Purple Back Eight-pointed Lotus was indeed hard to find, but ultimately, there was a chance to buy it.
