Lin Chen carried his simple luggage and walked through the drizzle toward the system's designated location — an abandoned Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) clinic in West Town. The building was weathered, the signboard covered in dust, windows broken — clearly untouched for years.
Approaching the door, his heart pounded with nervous doubt as he pushed open the creaking wooden door.
Dust rose inside, and the air smelled of musty, aged herbs. Just as he stepped in, a voice echoed in his mind:
[Check-in successful. Reward added to system inventory.]
[Received max-level digital copy of the Compendium of Hua Tuo.]
[System unlocked: Medical Learning Module.]
Lin Chen chuckled wryly. "Feels more thrilling than grinding levels in a game."
He took out his phone; the system interface automatically displayed the Compendium of Hua Tuo's contents — comprehensive chapters from internal medicine, surgery, acupuncture, to herbal remedies.
He randomly opened a chapter and began practicing a simple acupressure technique. Suddenly, an animated tutorial appeared in his mind like a personal teacher explaining every step.
"Okay, this design's actually pretty advanced."
Just as he finished, his phone vibrated, flashing an urgent mission:
[System Mission: Save an emergency patient.]
[Location: West Town street.]
[Reward: Medical experience + special herbal formula.]
[Time limit: Complete within 30 minutes.]
Lin Chen frowned. "They really want me to test my skills right now?"
He hurried to the location, where a middle-aged woman was kneeling by the roadside, surrounded by worried onlookers.
"Someone fainted!" people shouted anxiously.
Lin Chen rushed over, quickly assessed the situation, and applied emergency techniques from the Compendium of Hua Tuo to stabilize her breathing and heartbeat.
The crowd burst into praise; even a passing doctor glanced over in surprise.
"This young man's medical skills are impressive."
Lin Chen felt a bit proud but knew this was just the beginning...

In the distance, the mysterious girl appeared again, quietly watching Lin Chen's every move with a faint smile.
林尘提着简单的行李,在阴雨中走向系统指定的地点——城西一处废弃的中医诊所.建筑早已斑驳,门口的牌匾蒙着灰尘,门窗破损,似乎多年未有人踏足.
他走近门口,心里七上八下,半信半疑地伸手推开了吱呀作响的木门.
门内灰尘飞扬,空气中弥漫着陈年草药发霉的味道,但就在他踏入的一刻,脑海里响起了系统的声音:
[签到成功.奖励已添加至系统背包.]
[获得满级"华佗全书"电子版.]
[系统解锁:医术学习模块.]
林尘忍不住苦笑,心想:"这感觉比网游打怪升级还刺激."
他掏出手机,系统界面自动浮现,显示华佗全书目录,内容详尽,从内科外科到针灸草药无所不包.
他随意翻开一个章节,开始尝试书中介绍的一种简单穴位按摩手法,没想到脑海中出现一段细致的动画教学,仿佛有个老师在身边讲解.
"好吧,这设计挺高级."
刚练习完,他的手机忽然震动,弹出一个紧急任务提示:
[系统任务:拯救突发病人.]
[地点:城西街道.]
[奖励:提升医术经验+特殊草药配方.]
[时间限制:30分钟内完成.]
林尘皱了皱眉头:"这速度,是真要我马上试手气?"
他急忙赶往提示地点,路上看到一个中年妇女跪在路边,旁边围着几个人.
"有人晕倒了!"围观的人焦急喊着.
林尘赶紧过去,简单询问病情,运用华佗全书里的急救知识,帮妇女稳定了呼吸和心跳.
围观的人纷纷称赞,甚至有医生从旁边走过,投来惊讶的目光.
"这小伙医术不错啊."
林尘有点飘飘然,但他知道,这只是开始...

远处,那位神秘女孩再次出现,悄悄观察着林尘的一举一动,嘴角微微上扬.
