In the operating room, blood was splattering everywhere.

Some even reached the ceiling, and the faint sound of agonizing screams seeped through the poorly soundproofed door. Outside, the family members and other specters waiting for surgery shivered inexplicably.

"Um... Nurse Zhang, my husband..."

Despite the screams, the woman who had been a victim of domestic violence felt a strange sense of comfort, but her kind nature compelled her to ask.

The 600-kilogram Nurse Zhang dutifully stood guard at the door, patiently reassuring her:

"Don't worry, dear... As a woman, I completely understand how you feel right now."

"But this is just a minor surgery..."

"Just an appendectomy!"

"There's no way your husband will be chopped into pieces..."

As soon as Nurse Zhang finished speaking, a large splash of blood hit the soundproof glass behind her.

The family member talking to Nurse Zhang was startled!

"Isn't this... Nurse, isn't the bleeding a bit excessive?"

Nurse Zhang glanced back and calmly replied:

"Oh... it's normal to bleed a little during surgery!"

"Rest assured, our hospital employs the most professional psychologist."

The family member felt slightly relieved.

But soon, the female ghost realized something and suddenly perked up:

"Psychologist?"

"But... but this is surgery!"

Nurse Zhang looked puzzled:

"Is there a difference?"

Family member: "..."

Creak—

The door opened, and Zhao Yi emerged, covered in blood.

It had taken less than ten minutes.

"Dr. Zhao... is the surgery done?"

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

Zhao Yi wiped the blood off his face, revealing the gentlest smile in the world.

"Yes, the surgery was very successful."

The female ghost anxiously asked:

"Where's my husband?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yi seemed to remember something and reached into his pocket:

"Your husband is right here."

All the specters focused their gaze.

In Zhao Yi's hand lay a quietly bleeding appendix.

"How about it? Did I do a good job?"

Zhao Yi showed a kind smile.

Seeing the intact appendix, the female ghost's heart sank.

She glanced at the operating room, where blood and flesh were everywhere, and asked shakily:

"And the rest... what about that part?"

Zhao Yi suddenly realized.

"Ah!"

"I thought the rest was useless, so I disposed of it."

Female ghost: "..."

I asked you to remove the appendix, not the person!

Who performs an appendectomy by cutting up the person!

She accepted the appendix from Zhao Yi, feeling a mix of emotions.

Truth be told, she wished her husband dead.

If it were just domestic violence, she could endure it.

But she couldn't stand this beast hitting even their son and using the money for his education to buy alcohol!

She couldn't tolerate anyone harming her child!

But now, Zhao Yi had acted first, doing what she needed to do.

For a moment, she didn't know whether to thank Zhao Yi or thank Zhao Yi.

Then, she suddenly thought of something and quickly took out her phone to dial a number.

"Hello... is this the Die Bi Pei Insurance Company?"

"Ah yes, I wanted to ask, my husband hasn't been dead for long, is it still possible to buy accidental insurance for him now?"

"Oh, I see... well, that's a pity."

Hanging up, she turned to Zhao Yi and said:

"Anyway, thank you, Dr. Zhao."

Zhao Yi shook her hand and replied:

"Taking money to solve problems for others... ah no, healing is the duty of every doctor, it's what I should do!"

The woman left happily with her husband's appendix.

Zhao Yi looked at the specters waiting for surgery outside, trembling with fear, and asked with a smile:

"Who's the next little cutie?"

Whoosh!

The specters scattered in all directions!

The once lively corridor suddenly became empty.

"Congratulations, Dr. Zhao, you've passed the hospital's assessment. Here's your work ID badge. With this badge, you're considered employed in Hanging Valley Town, and the specters in town will see you as one of their own."

"Additionally, according to the Director, your salary will be about 5000 ghost coins a month, paid mid-month."

Nurse Zhang kindly handed Zhao Yi a work badge.

Zhao Yi hung it on his chest.

...

[Congratulations, Player Zhao Yi, on completing the world quest: Find a Job]

[Quest Reward: 5000 ghost coins per month // A respectable identity (within Hanging Valley Town)]

...

Zhao Yi glanced at the challenging world quest and decided to put it on hold for now.

He went to his office, played on his phone until evening, and ordered takeout.

When he opened the door, the delivery guy turned out to be Fang Bai!

The two exchanged glances, and Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow:

"You found a job too?"

Fang Bai chuckled.

"Yeah."

"This job is easy, I don't even get ten orders a day, and I get to chat and joke with a bunch of specters."

He took out the food and handed it to Zhao Yi.

"The Tide of Demon Spirits is coming soon, did you sign up?"

Fang Bai casually asked, and Zhao Yi replied:

"I did, but I don't know how many from the guild will go this time."

Fang Bai packed up his delivery box and complained:

"Forget it, the registration fee is 50,000 points, where would a newbie get that much?"

Zhao Yi was curious:

"Doesn't the guild reimburse it?"

Fang Bai shrugged.

"You can borrow, but they don't reimburse."

"Anyway... it's a blue loan!"

He said and turned to continue delivering, while Zhao Yi thought of Liu Ruoqing, that charming and seductive woman, lost in thought.

This woman must want something from him.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have given him 50,000 points for free.

Is it related to the Red Demon?

Intuition told Zhao Yi that Liu Ruoqing wasn't looking for him to deal with the Red Demon inside her.

The Red Demon had a high fusion rate with her, it wouldn't be out of control.

She was testing him.

50,000 points might not be much to them, but to a newbie, it's an astronomical figure.

Like Zhao Yi extorting fellow players in dungeons, he only managed to squeeze out over 10,000.

By the way, game transactions are enforced.

For example, if Zhao Yi told other players that if they gave him 5000 points, he would help them clear the dungeon.

Then, as long as those players gave Zhao Yi 5000 points, he must help them clear the dungeon.

Even if one player didn't clear it and died halfway, Zhao Yi would face severe penalties!

Such as transaction bans, or a significant deduction in his dungeon score after completion.

...

After dinner, it was soon time to get off work. Zhao Yi declined the Director's offer to work overtime and prepared to return to the guild's base.

Just as he left the hospital, the Warehouse Ghost sent a message.

"Mr. Zhao, I've found some traces of Sun Baibai..."

"I've also found the buyer for the General Store's facade, but the owner wants to meet with you in person..."
