Chapter 6

The police officers were the first to reach Chen Yang's side. Seeing that Chen Yang was covered in wounds, they quickly called for the ambulance and carried him inside.

"Kid, are you okay?" An older-looking police officer hurriedly asked.

"I'm fine, just a bit tired!" Chen Yang took a deep breath and smiled bitterly. "Uncle, can I have some water? I'm so thirsty."

The middle-aged police officer smiled and had someone bring a bottle of water. He then helped Chen Yang drink it.

"I can do it myself!" Chen Yang laughed awkwardly, feeling a bit uncomfortable. He took the mineral water and gulped it all down. The middle-aged police officer took the water bottle and smiled. "You're really something, to save someone in such a big fire!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"It just looked big from the outside, actually it wasn't that big inside!" Chen Yang said, but accidentally pulled at his wounds, causing him to wince in pain. The middle-aged police officer quickly had Chen Yang lie down and said, "I'll have someone treat your wounds first."

Chen Yang nodded. Hearing the commotion outside and the sound of police cars, he quickly said, "Uncle, just take me to the hospital, don't let any reporters interview me!"

Actually, Chen Yang was just feeling guilty. In such a big fire, not only did he save someone, but he only got a few minor injuries. Who knows what those imaginative reporters would write.

The middle-aged police officer nodded and smiled, thinking Chen Yang just didn't want to be in the spotlight. "Alright, I promise. I'll have someone treat your wounds first."

Chen Yang nodded, and the middle-aged police officer got out of the ambulance, closed the door, and soon a nurse came in. The ambulance then started moving.

"Wait a moment, I'll treat your wounds right away."

Chen Yang was slightly surprised and nodded. He hadn't expected the nurse's voice to be so pleasant. He glanced at her and saw that she was a beautiful woman, probably around 24 or 25 years old, wearing a nurse's uniform that exuded a subtle sexiness.

To Chen Yang, she was a mature woman, yes, a very mature woman, a mature woman like a big white rabbit!

"Didn't expect such a bonus, looks like my luck isn't that bad after all..."

But thinking about the explosion just now, Chen Yang was still a bit shaken. Fortunately, he had reacted quickly, turning his back to protect the baby. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Although he was injured, Chen Yang felt quite comfortable inside.

While Chen Yang was lost in thought, the mature woman started treating his wounds. The stinging pain made Chen Yang involuntarily gasp.

"Endure it, it won't hurt much longer."

The mature woman said gently. Chen Yang nodded and closed his eyes.

"What's your name?"

The mature woman asked gently again.

"Chen Yang... hiss..."

Just as he was speaking, he couldn't help but gasp again, which made the mature woman chuckle. "You can run into a fire to save someone, but you can't handle a little pain?"

"It's different!" Chen Yang smiled bitterly. "I've been afraid of pain since I was little!"

The mature woman giggled. "Alright, I'll be gentler." She paused and added, "But I really admire your courage."

"Thank you!"

Chen Yang said softly, but his mind was on the WeChat group. He couldn't take out his phone now, but he was worried that the Water Virtue Star Lord might talk about his situation or ask other deities if there was a deity named Shaoyang...

The phone in his bag remained silent, making Chen Yang increasingly anxious.

"Please, heaven, don't let them kick me out because I saved someone!"

Chen Yang kept praying in his heart.

If Chen Yang were a smooth talker, he would definitely have chatted with the mature woman, exchanged phone numbers, and so on. But now, his mind was entirely on the WeChat group, and he barely exchanged a few words with the mature woman, not even asking her name.

Before he knew it, they arrived at the hospital. The examination results showed only minor external injuries, nothing serious.

This surprised many people, but it was within Chen Yang's expectations. If he were really injured, it would be a waste of the Water Virtue Star Lord's talisman.

Fortunately, the medical expenses would be covered by the government, so Chen Yang felt at ease staying in the hospital. For the rest of the afternoon, only nurses and doctors entered his room, and no reporters appeared, as the middle-aged police officer had kept his promise.

This relieved Chen Yang. As the saying goes, people fear fame, and pigs fear getting fat. Chen Yang had no intention of becoming famous.

What made Chen Yang particularly happy was that the WeChat group of deities didn't mention him, as usual. Checking the Water Virtue Star Lord's WeChat, the last message was: "Shaoyang, you're too kind. If you need any help in the future, feel free to contact me."

Chen Yang was delighted. He hadn't realized the value of merit before, but now it seemed to be very useful. If he needed something, he could just privately chat with a deity and send a red envelope to buy it.

But thinking about it, it wasn't practical. The Water Virtue Star Lord was a潜水党 (diving party), rarely active in the group, and not very suspicious, which allowed him to escape this time. If it were a more suspicious or active deity, he might have been exposed, which would be counterproductive.

Still, as the saying goes, caution is the best policy. To avoid any mishaps, it's better to be careful.

Looking through the chat history, he saw that the previous activity was triggered by Chang'e's photo, which caused a lot of excitement. After the excitement died down, the group became quiet again. Bored, Chen Yang opened his wallet to check if there was any information about merit.

"Huh!? That's strange!"

Seeing that his merit points had increased by 100, Chen Yang was quite surprised.

He clearly remembered having only 22 merit points, which he had all sent to the Water Virtue Star Lord. How did he suddenly have 100 more merit points?

Checking the records, he found no deity had sent him any merit. Chen Yang frowned, could it be because of the rescue?

"Right! Isn't doing good deeds considered merit? Maybe I got 100 merit points for saving someone?"

Thinking this, Chen Yang clicked on the merit points again, and a detailed record appeared. It showed that he had sent 22 merit points to the Water Virtue Star Lord, and the next entry was for saving someone in the fire, earning 100 merit points.

Chen Yang immediately understood the source of the merit points and felt a surge of joy. If he did more good deeds, his merit points might increase, and he could become a merit tycoon. Then, many deities might come to him to sell things.

Just as Chen Yang was lost in thought, his phone rang. It was Mao Shi calling. Chen Yang remembered his friends and quickly answered, assuring them he was safe.

"You scared the hell out of us! Which hospital are you in? We'll come see you right away!"

"No need, scram!"

Chen Yang was exasperated. These guys were always taking advantage of him!

"Don't be mad!" Mao Shi laughed carelessly. "After a big disaster, good fortune follows. Is there a beautiful nurse with you now...?"

"You got it right, not just beautiful, but a real beauty!" Chen Yang smirked. "She's giving me a massage, it feels so good."

"You're really full of yourself, alright, as long as you're fine, we're relieved."

"I'm fine, just a few minor injuries. I'll be back soon. You don't need to come see me, it's too much trouble!" Chen Yang thought for a moment and added, "Remember to feed Sweetie, just one or two pieces at a time, don't overfeed her!"

"Got it, I know!"

Hanging up, Chen Yang felt relieved. He put his phone aside and yawned. He was really tired and needed to sleep to recover.

But just as he closed his eyes, the door suddenly opened.

"Chen Yang?"

Hearing the sweet voice, Chen Yang instinctively opened his eyes and turned his head. He saw the mature woman peeking in with a smile.

Chen Yang couldn't help but blink. Could it be that he had a bonus aura?
