Let's Squander A Billion First!-Chapter 373 - Heavenly Fortune (15)

Chapter 373: Chapter 373 Heavenly Fortune (15)

Chuzheng had to accomplish the task the Bastard gave her.

But Chuzheng didn’t even know which way the front door of Xinnan Hospital faced.

Wasn’t this making life difficult for the poor girl!!

Even locating the hospital had taken her quite some time.

Xinnan Hospital was a private hospital that initially operated fairly well.

However, a medical accident that occurred a couple of years ago had plunged Xinnan Hospital into turmoil, and following the subsequent crackdown, the hospital never recovered.

Now it faced the embarrassing predicament of shutting down entirely.

Chuzheng: “…”

This was her coming to clean up a mess!

For the hospital, Chuzheng’s arrival was undoubtedly like the God of Wealth descending from heaven.

The last struggling shareholder, like someone tossing away a hot potato, eventually left Chuzheng as the sole shareholder.

Chuzheng thought she’d have nothing to worry about after closing the deal.

Little did she know the Bastard wasn’t planning to let her off so easily.

[Main Quest: Please, miss, equip Xinnan Hospital with the latest medical devices.]

Chuzheng sat in the conference room, looking at these unsatisfactory doctors, feeling such a headache she wanted to bang the table.

The quality of the doctors at Xinnan Hospital used to be quite good.

But since the incident, those who could leave did, and those who could disperse did, leaving only these few behind.

The sudden change in ownership at Xinnan Hospital, especially to a young lady who seemed to know nothing, made the staff worry if this really was the end for Xinnan Hospital, and they were concerned about their own futures.

Chuzheng knocked on the table: “Who is in charge of hospital equipment purchases?”

“…Me.” The man sitting in the corner raised his hand: “It was me, but we haven’t updated our equipment in a long time.”

The main reason was a lack of funds.

Making payroll for their staff was already difficult enough.

Chuzheng said, “You are to replace all the hospital equipment with the most expensive ones.”

Not the best or newest, just the most expensive!

The man stayed rooted to his spot.

“Did you understand?”

The man stammered, “Our funds…”

“I will prepare the funds for you. You just need to tell me, can you complete the task?”

The girl casually leaned back in her chair, her gaze cold and detached as she looked at them, like a queen sitting on her throne, her aura commanding.

“With… with funds, there won’t be a problem.”

Chuzheng nodded her head.

The man sat back down, his back breaking out in a cold sweat.

This young lady exerted far too much pressure.

Chuzheng estimated that this issue wouldn’t be resolved quickly and made herself more comfortable.

“Who is in charge of hiring?”

“I am.” Someone stood up, looking a bit nervous.

Chuzheng gave him a quick glance and coolly ordered, “Recruit specialists for all departments, nurses. Pay the nurses twice the industry standard, doctors’ wages will depend on their capabilities, allow poaching for high salaries, and offer the best benefits for all staff.”

“Close the hospital for renovation. Wherever needs refurbishing or anything is missing, take care of it.”

Chuzheng’s tone was cold, her speech unhurried, spelling out each point with exceptional clarity.

She laid out everyone’s responsibilities in clear detail.

She ended firmly, indicating that money was not an issue, the issue was them getting the job done properly.

“Did you all understand?”

For some reason, everyone present couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.

“Understood!”

“Boss… with the hospital closing for renovation, what about the current patients?” someone asked.

What could be done?

Get rid of them, of course.

Chuzheng restrained the urge: “Pay them, have them transferred to other hospitals.”

“Okay.”

The previously lifeless Xinnan Hospital was suddenly filled with smiles on the faces of doctors and nurses.

–

Chuu Wu’s assistant parked the car outside of Xinnan Hospital and frowned slightly upon seeing the “Temporarily Closed” sign on the front gate.

“Why isn’t it open?” the assistant wondered. “President Chuu, should I go and ask?”

The man in the backseat grunted in affirmation.

The assistant got out of the car and entered the hospital.

Renovation workers were moving in and out, carrying various items.

“Here to see a doctor? We’re not seeing patients at the moment, you should go to another hospital.”

Someone saw the assistant standing at the entrance and said something.

“What are you doing here?” the assistant asked curiously.

This is a magical Beastmaster World called “Blue Star.”

Over two thousand years ago, when Blue Star developed two moons, the world saw the birth of Guardian Beastmasters and Star Martial Artists.

Becoming a Guardian Beastmaster, obtaining the qualifications of Beastmaster’s Space, one could contract with and fight alongside awakened Demon Beasts.

Those who couldn’t become Guardian Beastmasters had the chance to awaken as Star Martial Artists, absorbing Star Power and practicing Martial Arts.

However, Star Martial Artists are far inferior to Guardian Beastmasters.

Here, it is the world of Guardian Beasts!

This is the era of Guardian Beasts!

Every year on this day, two hundred thousand young men and women are transported to this world by the “Mist.”

Two hundred thousand people are randomly selected and scattered across the world.

This is the Guidance Plaza outside East Sea City in Tang Country.

Currently, there are twenty thousand people at the Guidance Plaza.

Next, these twenty thousand people will undergo “Awakening Guidance” in batches.

Through the Awakening Guidance, they may awaken their talents and become Guardian Beastmasters or Star Martial Artists.

After the Awakening Guidance is completed, whether awakened or not, everyone must collect cold weapons such as swords and participate in a trial; the trial is…

To stay in the wilderness jungle outside the square for three days and three nights!

Those who survive three days later have passed the trial!

Teams are allowed, but each team must not exceed four members.

Those who pass the trial, whether as Guardian Beastmasters or Star Martial Artists, can directly enter one of the three major academies in East Sea City to train in Beast Mastery and Martial Arts.

Those who did not awaken talents but passed the trial can get a second chance for Awakening.

Whether transported here or born on Blue Star, everyone only has two chances to awaken in their lifetime.

If, after undergoing the life-and-death trial, the second Awakening Guidance still does not awaken any talents…

Then these people must work as Miners in the mines outside East Sea City for three years before they can enter East Sea City to live.

This rule applies to the main cities of all countries on Blue Star.

“What? Even if I awaken talent, I still have to participate in this life and death trial!”

“The wilderness jungle outside has trees towering over three hundred feet, who knows what kind of monsters are inside? Providing us only with cold weapons like swords, how can we possibly defeat them?”

“Even if you had guns, what good would they be? You see that giant ant, do you think ordinary guns can kill it? And that King Kong… the King Kong from King Kong’s Skull Island, it has destroyed several fighter jets!”

“Damn, they even restrict the team size to four people! If we encounter these four horrifying Demon Beasts at once, even if all four of us were carrying rocket launchers, we might still not stand a chance!”

In the square, noise and panic arose once more.

People were alarmed and at a loss.

But the giant Black Ape whispered a quiet roar, and all the noise vanished instantly.

In this Different World, rules are made by the strong!

Surviving well in this world is not easy.

Without bargaining chips, without value, without strength, you are merely dust.

Many people calmed down after the Black Ape’s roar.

“Alright!”

The woman on the shoulder of the twenty-meter-tall Black Ape gently waved her hand and said, “I believe you all roughly understand your situation now and know where this place is… This is Tang Country, East Sea City!”

“After the Awakening Guidance is completed, we will give each of you a Smart wristwatch to wear on your wrist. It is a combination of a mobile phone and a computer, and you can connect to the network using that device to access a lot of information you may want to know.”

At this moment, a young man mustered the courage to ask, “After the Awakening Guidance, can we choose not to participate in the trial?”

“If we still cannot awaken as Guardian Beastmasters or Star Martial Artists after trying the trial, can we choose not to work as Miners?”

The woman on the Black Ape’s shoulder started laughing, “You cannot choose not to participate. Those unwilling to participate will be killed on the spot!”

“Killed on the spot…” The previously speaking young man was greatly startled.

The woman continued, “Of course, after partaking in the trial, you can choose not to work as a Miner.”

“If you don’t work as a Miner, you can’t live in East Sea City; you’ll have to live in the wilderness… outside the main city, which we generally refer to as the wilderness.”

“The world is vast, and if you possess strength, you can go anywhere.”

“But let me remind you…”

“Outside the main city, the wilderness is fraught with peril, teeming with countless extraordinary monsters and alien races. Even the powerful Guardian Beastmasters and Star Martial Artists tread carefully as if on thin ice.”

“So think it through whether you want to be a Miner or not.”

“Alright, let’s start lining up now.”

“Prepare for the Awakening guidance!”

“Fifty people in a group, forming three circles around a lighthouse.”

“Each group has only five minutes for Awakening.”

“Begin!”

The woman standing on the Black Ape’s shoulder did not give people another chance to ask questions.

Teams of fully armed soldiers came and started guiding the people to line up.

On the east side of the square, a group of soldiers brought out several objects resembling lighthouses.

Ten “lighthouses” in total, each over three meters tall and emitting a faint blue light.

The crowd surged forward, with many people beginning to push towards the front.

Nearby, a burly young man tugged at Chen Fan’s sleeve: “Little brother, since everyone has a chance to awaken, there’s no need to rush. Let’s hang back a bit and watch first?”

Chen Fan nodded and extended his right hand: “Chen Fan.”

The young man grinned and shook his hand: “Wang Teng.”

Chen Fan: “…”

My son Wang Teng has the makings of an Emperor!

That name…

Chen Fan looked peculiar: “Brother Wang, do you usually read novels?”

Wang Teng was taken aback: “Why would I read those things?”

Chen Fan: “…”

Alright, this guy probably doesn’t read novels normally, and because he is physically strong and big, people don’t dare to joke with him about it, so he’s always been unaware.

“Little brother, after the Awakening guidance is over, let’s form a team together?”

Wang Teng looked at Chen Fan and whispered, “Then we’ll find two more people and take a crack at the jungle!”

“If we can awaken and become Guardian Beastmasters or Star Martial Artists, we can help each other and grow together!”

Chen Fan nodded slightly: “Okay.”

Suddenly!

Chen Fan felt as if an electric current had passed through his entire body.

“Beastmaster System activating, 10%, 40%, 70%…”

“Beastmaster System successfully activated!”

“Beastmaster’s Space successfully established!”

The next moment…

“Boom!”

In Chen Fan’s mind, a strange square space was opened.

This square space, roughly thirty square meters in size, had a sky dotted with white clouds, green grass on the ground, and even a body of water… oh, it was actually just a small water pit.

She never appeared to fret about costs. Whenever a problem arose, she’d throw money at it, and if money didn’t solve the problem—she’d just throw more.

“A change in ownership?”

Chuu Wu had obtained information that Xinnan Hospital was barely maintaining itself, but there was no mention of a change in ownership.

“Yes,” Li Minhang, who was quite shrewd, immediately added upon seeing Chuu Wu’s expression change, “If Mr. Chuu would like to meet our owner, I can contact her for you. What do you think?”

Chuu Wu pondered for a moment before responding indifferently to Li Minhang, “You help me make the contact.”

Li Minhang figured that Chuu Wu wanted him to make the call in his presence.

In truth, he was somewhat afraid of that young girl.

Every time she appeared, her face was expressionless, devoid of emotion, which made it hard to decipher her actual thoughts.

People who are openly expressive are easier to deal with. As for the likes of her… Li Minhang didn’t enjoy interacting with such people.

They were too hard to read.

But she was the boss, and he had no choice.
