Chapter 31

Lu Tai took a deep breath and slowly carried Liu Yifei into his arms, then stuffed the wooden box containing the black spider into his pocket. He walked towards the brightly lit main street. Given the current situation, he could only temporarily put aside the idea of going to the scrap yard to find Ah Xing and instead look for a smaller clinic to treat Liu Yifei.

As he walked, Lu Tai muttered to himself, "Sigh, coming to the *Shaolin Soccer* world, I haven't done anything yet, and I've already drawn two prizes. And the contents of these two prizes... one is in my arms, and the other is in my pocket..."

The task isn't difficult, but it can't withstand such waste. Lu Tai no longer blamed the old immortal but rather his own bad luck. As the saying goes: bad luck can't be blamed on society, and a hard life can't be blamed on the government.

After walking for a short distance, Lu Tai saw a residential area. At the entrance of the residential area was a community clinic. Just as he was about to go in, he stopped. How could he afford to see a doctor with only four yuan?

At this moment, Liu Yifei made a soft sound and slowly opened her eyes. This time, she didn't jump out of Lu Tai's arms but instead leaned her head on his shoulder and said weakly, "My head hurts so much, and my body is freezing. Am I sick?"

Lu Tai tightened his arms and said, "Yes, you have a fever. All the shocks have been too much for you."

"What can we do? I've caused you trouble," Liu Yifei murmured.

"Don't say that. In this world, you and I are partners. Partners should take care of each other. Cheer up, we still need to work together to leave here and return to reality," Lu Tai comforted her.

Liu Yifei still looked very uncomfortable. She frowned and nodded with effort.

"There's always a way out. I don't believe a doctor would let someone die," Lu Tai said as he carried Liu Yifei into the community clinic.

The clinic was small. Inside, there were two desks pushed together. Behind the left desk sat a doctor in a white coat, around fifty years old, reading a newspaper. There were a few beds in a partitioned area, with several patients receiving intravenous drips. Next to the room was a small pharmacy, where a nurse stood.

"Doctor?" Lu Tai called out to the doctor in the white coat as he entered.

The doctor looked up, quickly stood up, and said, "What happened?"

Lu Tai helped Liu Yifei to a long wooden bench next to the desk and said, "My friend is sick. Can you help her?"

The doctor took a stethoscope and a tongue depressor and came to the bench. He gestured for Liu Yifei to stay still, then felt her forehead and examined her throat with the tongue depressor.

"She has a fever, and her throat is a bit inflamed. Let's take her temperature to see how high it is," the doctor said, not even using the stethoscope. He turned to the nurse and waved his hand, then continued to Lu Tai, "Don't worry, it shouldn't be a big problem. The nurse will take her temperature, and then, depending on the situation, she'll take medicine or get an injection."

Lu Tai gently patted Liu Yifei to reassure her, then walked to the doctor's side, scratched his head, and asked, "How much will it cost?"

"How much will what cost?" the doctor asked.

"How much will it cost to treat her?" Lu Tai replied.

"Ah, how much could it cost? Once the fever goes down, she'll rest for a couple of days and be fine. It won't cost much," the doctor said, sitting back down without much concern.

"Four yuan isn't enough, is it?" Lu Tai muttered.

"What?" the doctor was taken aback and asked.

"Oh, nothing, nothing," Lu Tai shook his head and said.

At this moment, the doctor carefully examined Lu Tai and Liu Yifei. He noticed that both of them had outstanding appearances and auras, and their clothing certainly didn't suggest they were homeless.

"39.1 degrees," the nurse said, handing the thermometer to the doctor.

The doctor frowned and thought for a moment, then said to Lu Tai, "Let's give her an injection to bring down the fever, and then prescribe some medicine."

Lu Tai felt his pocket, turned to look at Liu Yifei, and said through gritted teeth, "Uh... Doctor... can you let us owe you the money?"

The doctor and the nurse were taken aback...

"Here's the thing, we're from out of town. We just got here and accidentally lost our wallet... and she's sick... you see..." Lu Tai stammered.

The doctor was somewhat amused and said, "Young man, this clinic isn't mine. I work for the health bureau. We don't offer credit here."

Lu Tai was a bit helpless. Money isn't everything, but without money, nothing is possible. Seeing the helpless look on Lu Tai's face, the doctor shook his head and said to the nurse, "Go ahead and give her the injection and medicine. I'll cover the cost for now."

The nurse nodded and went into the pharmacy.

Lu Tai looked at the doctor with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Doctor. You're a good person. I promise we'll pay you back."

The doctor waved his hand and said, "It's not easy for you to be away from home. Who wants to lose their wallet? Don't worry, it won't cost much."

Lu Tai sat in the chair in front of the doctor and said, "Doctor, you must tell me your name. I'm Lu Tai, and I won't forget this kindness."

The doctor, seeing Lu Tai's sincerity, smiled and said, "Sure, I'm Lu Yan, and I live in this residential area."

"Doctor Lu, I can't thank you enough," Lu Tai said slowly.

"You're too kind, young man," Lu Yan said, then continued reading the newspaper.

As they spoke, Liu Yifei finished her injection and came out of the partition. The nurse gave her two packets of medicine. "How much in total?" Lu Tai asked the nurse.

The nurse looked at Doctor Lu, then turned to them and said, "Forty-five yuan in total."

Lu Tai nodded and said to Lu Yan, "Doctor Lu, I'll pay you back in a few days."

Lu Yan smiled and said, "No problem. By the way, when you get back, make sure she rests early. Her body is a bit weak, probably due to stress."

"Sure, sure," Lu Tai said, then led Liu Yifei out of the clinic.

Liu Yifei's condition had improved significantly. As they left the clinic, she murmured, "This doctor is really a good person. I feel like I'm in a dream. Are we really in a movie? There's no such doctor in the movie, right?"

Lu Tai said, "We are in a movie world, but we're not watching a movie. You must see this as a complete space and time, understand?"

"Does that mean there are countries all over the world here?" Liu Yifei asked.

"Probably. How about we try to sneak into the United States and see if we can get there?" Lu Tai said.

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Lu Tai but quickly smiled and said softly, "You've been taking care of me all day. If it weren't for you, I would have died long ago."

"Ha ha," Lu Tai shook his head and said, "Forget it. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be here at all."

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "Do you think this is fate? This kind of fate is given by the gods."

Lu Tai's expression became serious as he nodded and said slowly, "This is definitely a fate ordained by heaven."

His eyes were fixed on Liu Yifei, but his mind was thinking about the scenes from the matchmaking. Why could he chat so openly with Chun Li and Liu Yifei but not during the matchmaking...

Liu Yifei, of course, didn't know what Lu Tai was thinking. She just felt his gaze was so intense that her face turned red. She said, "Let's discuss the issue of fate later. Right now, we need to think about where to sleep tonight. The doctor said I need to rest well. Can you rest well on the street?"

Liu Yifei's words brought Lu Tai back to reality. He looked at the sky, then raised his watch and said to Liu Yifei, "It's time. I'll draw a prize first."

As soon as Liu Yifei saw Lu Tai drawing a prize, she quickly took three steps back and said, "Don't draw another spider."

"It shouldn't happen again. Pfft!" He spat on his hand and started drawing.

This time, the prizes had changed. The Powerful Golden Leg was back at level 8, the football skills were gone, cooking skills were now at level 6, the money was still 150,000, the venomous spider was replaced by a Ferrari sports car and level 3 (8 months) driving skills, and there was a level 8 Tai Chi Push Hands (Note: equivalent to Mei's level in the movie). The last item was a lame leg for 8 months.

Damn, the first few items made Lu Tai's heart bloom, but the last item poured cold water on him. A lame leg for 8 months? That's too harsh...

Lu Tai thought, drawing prizes is about probability, but it can't be that I draw bad ones twice in a row. The spider was already the worst in the last batch. This time... it can't be so bad.

After thinking, he clicked to draw...

"Ding~"

"Congratulations, you have drawn 150,000 units of the world's currency... The system has deducted 150 points of virtue, leaving you with 36 points of virtue..." As this message appeared, a bank card appeared in Lu Tai's pocket, and he knew the password.

"I still prefer to stay in a high-end hotel. Not only are the conditions better, but it feels like a luxury trip," Liu Yifei said as she and Lu Tai walked to the ATM.

She looked nothing like someone who had just received an injection, and Lu Tai's posture was straight, giving him a sudden "tycoon" vibe.
