I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 718: Chapter 717: You’re So Dirty

Someone like Beisitian being in such an environment made Jiang Mingzhong feel she was tainted. He was about to ask about getting off at the next stop to rent a car, when he suddenly felt a refreshing scent wafting towards him.

Seeing this, Beisitian smiled and handed over a small bottle of liquid resembling perfume, saying, ”This is my homemade refreshing spray. Just spray it in front of you, and it lasts for two hours.”

Jiang Mingzhong stared blankly at Beisitian’s pretty smile, and he suddenly felt a moment of clarity. He seemed to understand, to understand why Beisitian never seemed out of place in any environment.

”Thank you, Doctor Bei.” Jiang Mingzhong took it and sprayed it into the air. Sure enough, the unpleasant odor was replaced by the fresh scent, making him feel like he was in a summer forest, surrounded by refreshing breezes.

Returning the refreshing spray to Beisitian, Jiang Mingzhong’s expression became increasingly serene. Beisitian was fundamentally proud, but not arrogant. Her pride came from her abilities, and she was very aware of her profession and boundaries, so her pride was never directed at ordinary people.

Because of this, she was more genuine and easily blended into ordinary people, distinctly different from Mystical Doctors who always had an air of ”I am different from you” on their faces.

Understanding this, Jiang Mingzhong not only felt grateful to Beisitian but also admired her even more. Even he could not compare to such a state of mind!

The four and a half-hour journey would have been quite unpleasant without Beisitian’s refreshing spray, especially since some people were getting carsick and vomiting into plastic bags halfway, making the smell even more unbearable.

Since Beisitian often had to go out, she deliberately made this refreshing spray. Although Tian Zhi and Wei Zhongxun could drive, Beisitian only ever took one person at a time, as taking two would easily draw attention. Her illness and Bei Jiale’s must never be known.

After getting off the vehicle, the spirits of the four were not affected by the unpleasant smell; they even managed to get some sleep on the trip.

Jinbei City is also an inland city, with two large ecological parks, thus its main industry is tourism, and the air quality is relatively good, much better than the heavily industrialized Beijing.

However, there are recent rumors that the country plans to relocate heavy industry out of the Beijing region, though it’s unclear if it’s true.

”Doctor Bei, you can visit the nearby ecological park in your free time. I booked a room at a business hotel; you can see the big river in the ecological park right through the window.” Jiang Mingzhong said with a smile.

Having regained his status as a Mystic Doctor, Jiang Mingzhong’s humor returned, and influenced by Beisitian, he no longer loathed the world nor planned to high-handedly reclaim everything that was his.

He now felt very calm.

Tian Zhi hailed a taxi and the four of them headed to the business hotel together.

Since Jinbei City is also the headquarters of the Mystic Doctor Association, many major business families are vaguely aware of the existence of these people. Although not entirely informed, they know that these people are very special.

The country is sure to provide special treatment to such unique groups, especially the Mystic Doctor Association. Everyone knows the Mystic Doctor Association has the state standing behind it.

Compared to many major families and factions, those with a Mystic Doctor Association certificate can travel smoothly across the country, which reminds Beisitian of the Mystic Doctor Order, although it might not be as effective as the Mystic Doctor Order.

In fact, there are conflicting feelings towards the Mystic Doctor Association. On one hand, people want the convenience it brings, but on the other, they don’t want too much political intrusion.

However, the Mystic Doctor Association has thrived in its 150-year history without any scandals, prompting many observing families to agree to join.

Joining does not mean being entirely subject to the Mystic Doctor Association. Any families or factions that join can maintain their independence and freedom. To enjoy the benefits from the Association, they simply need points—different levels of points grant different levels of benefits.

Points can be acquired by completing tasks issued by the Association, or through notable contributions.

The most common way to earn points is the first method; the Association’s top echelon are called Permanent Directors, while other families or factions that join become Permanent Members.

Permanent Members can take on tasks, and these tasks can be completed collectively by family members, meaning the Association only cares about the results, not the process.

Permanent Members of different point levels hold different numbers of privilege certificates, and the right to use these certificates is in the hands of these Permanent Members.

In this way, the country can leverage the power of these Mystic Doctors to some extent, while the Mystic Doctors can enjoy favorable policies in relatively free conditions, achieving mutual benefit.

It’s said Jiang Mingzhong was a mid-level Permanent Member before, with over twenty thousand points. His expenses for food, clothing, lodging, and traveling were at least 30% off, and he enjoyed significant discounts on herbal medicines.

These benefits include material ones as well as spiritual. As a mid-level Permanent Member, he was respected wherever he went, especially by small families and factions who almost regarded him as a deity.

Jiang Mingzhong used to be quite conceited, partly due to these reasons besides his own attributes.

Permanent Members do not need to report to headquarters daily, as the Association has branches in major cities, but they must take on at least two C-level tasks per month and one B-level task per year.

Jiang Mingzhong joined as a Permanent Member independently, and such individuals aren’t typically valued by the Association. However, Jiang Mingzhong himself was exceptional, which justified his status.

The business hotel was splendidly decorated, with valet parking at the entrance, though Beisitian and the others didn’t require it.

Entering the lobby, despite three staff members at the service desk, there was still a long queue.

Seeing this, Jiang Mingzhong was startled. He had been here before, but why was it so crowded now?

Jiang Xin had never been to such a luxurious place. In this era, ordinary people generally wouldn’t come to such business hotels since a night’s stay would cost hundreds, which not many could afford.

Jiang Xin stayed close behind Jiang Mingzhong, looking anxious and uncomfortable.

”Where did this fool come from? Move aside, you’re in the way!”

A voice came from behind Jiang Xin. He hurriedly sidestepped but accidentally bumped into someone, and then there was a sharp scream.

”Oh, get away, you’re filthy!” a high-pitched female voice exclaimed, and everyone saw a pretty girl looking at Jiang Xin with disdain, stepping back several paces.

The crowd looked at Jiang Xin. He was wearing old jeans and an ordinary vest, which was a bit plain, but not dirty.
