Chapter 942: The task doesn’t even matter anymore

By the water.

Lin Fan had his eyes closed as if he was meditating. Once there was any movement from his fishing line, he would immediately lift up the rod and retrieve the item before placing it in his bag.

Several days and nights had passed and he had stayed in the same position. After unlocking the Wuxia major class of knowledge, he had already surpassed the limits of an average person. Not drinking or eating didn’t pose much of an obstacle to him.

To him, there was already not much time left.

When he had just started, he had had sufficient confidence in himself. He had felt that he would easily obtain what he wanted. But after so long, he just couldn’t fish up the remaining few herbs.

*Ding ding*

Lin Fan took out his phone and was about to reject the call but when he saw the caller, he answered it.

“Elder Zheng, what is it?” asked Lin Fan.

“Someone asked me to ask for your help in seeing a patient. His illness is quite severe and he might not last much longer, so I wanted to ask for your help,” said Elder Zheng.

To make Elder Zheng speak on his behalf, that person must not have been average. He might even be a person that was out of Lin Fan’s reach.

“I don’t have the time. I’m very busy now,” said Lin Fan.

Elder Zheng became anxious. “No, Elder Lin, this is serious.”

“Elder Zheng, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. I am very serious now too. This matter that I’m handling right now is very important to me and I don’t want to be disturbed by anyone,” said Lin Fan.

“Elder, Lin, you really have to help. This person is really very important,” Elder Zheng requested for the third time, hoping Lin Fan would come over to help.

“To me, the time I have now is very important. In fact, there’s nothing more important right now than what I’m currently doing. You have to understand, Elder Zheng. If he can endure until I’m done settling my problem, then get him to wait,” said Lin Fan.

Zheng Zhong Shan was about to say something but then the call had been hung up.

“Elder Zheng, how is it?” beside Elder Zheng, a middle-aged man asked anxiously.

Elder Zheng shook his head. “He has things to do, so he can’t come for now.”

The middle-aged man was frantic. “What? He can’t come? No, he has to come. I’ll get someone to go to Shanghai and drag him over.”

Zheng Zhong Shan frowned. “What are you thinking of doing?”

When the middle-aged man heard that, he instantly became more docile. “Elder Zheng, I can’t wait. This matter cannot be dragged on.”

“Even if it can’t, it has to.”

He had no idea what had happened with Elder Lin. Just what could it be that would be so important to him?

At that moment, Lin Fan’s brows twitched. The fishing line had moved. He quickly lifted the fishing rod.

“The task of fishing up a legendary item has been completed.”

“Unlocking the twenty-first page of knowledge. For it is the twenty-first page of knowledge, an automatic draw will be carried out.”

Lin Fan didn’t listen to the task completion notification but looked at the object in his hands instead. He was a little disappointed.

A storage ring with unlimited space. If it was before, he would have been extremely excited but now, he wasn’t in the mood at all.

He calmly wore the ring on his finger. He kept the other things that he had fished up and continued fishing.

The next day!

The hospital.

Zhao Li Xing said, “Doctor, what’s my Dad’s current condition?”

The doctor pushed up his glasses and said, “Mister Zhao, your father’s situation isn’t looking good. According to our check, his body’s organs are showing signs of failing. And it’s very serious. In layman’s terms, he’s dying of old age.”

“That can’t be. My dad is only over seventy. He’s not even eighty yet. How could he be dying of old age?” the daughter, Zhao Qun Fang said anxiously.

The doctor said, “We can’t do anything either. Your father has had toxins accumulating in his body for a long period of time because of his profession. His body can’t be compared to an average person’s.”

Zhao Li Xing grabbed the doctor. “Doctor, tell me honestly, how long more does he have?”

“That can’t be confirmed. It depends on your father’s situation but it won’t be more than three days. His body has already exceeded its working capacity. Once his bodily processes stop, that means…” The doctor didn’t say anymore. Everyone already understood.

“How could it be? He was fine just a while ago. Why did he suddenly become like this?” Zhao Li Xing couldn’t understand it.

The doctor said, “This can be likened to a motor vehicle. When a car gas fuel, regardless of the amount, it will be able to run. But once the fuel is depleted, the car will stop.”

Then, the doctor left.

Zhao Li Xing looked at his siblings. “Don’t tell Mom about this yet.”

“Mmm, we know. Oh right, where’s Master Lin? If it’s him, he’d definitely have a solution,” said Zhao Qun Fang.

Zhao Li Xing shook his head. “It’s useless. Master Lin came over a while ago to treat Dad’s flu but he didn’t say anything else after that. He probably knows what’s happening. This isn’t an illness. This is something that everyone will have to experience eventually. Even if his medical ability was even greater, it would be useless.”

When the rest heard this, they couldn’t help but let out miserable expressions.

At that moment, a group of reporters appeared.

If this was before, Zhao Ming Wing would definitely not have drawn any attention but his status was not the same anymore. He was a big shot in the Chinese medicine world now. He was Master Lin’s student who had contributed to the development of the leukemia prescription. Now that he had suddenly been admitted to the hospital, they were afraid that something bad had happened.

And when they thought about his age, the reporters had a rough idea of what was going on.

It must have been a big issue.

Zhao Li Xing hadn’t expected reporters to come. He didn’t want to answer any of their questions and the reporters didn’t ask any questions either. But they were unyielding.

With their capabilities, they could definitely find out many things.

In the morning.

The news came out.

‘Zhao Ming Qing, Director Zhao, has been admitted to the hospital. His health is in a dangerous situation. Perhaps…’

‘Contributor to the development of the leukemia prescription, Zhao Ming Qing, has been admitted to the hospital in an emergency. Things aren’t looking good.’

‘Master Lin’s student has been admitted to the hospital. Something that even Master Lin can’t resolve, what could that be?’

‘According to the latest updates. Master Lin has disappeared from Cloud Street and hasn’t appeared in days.’

“D*mn, Zhao Ming Qing is in the hospital? What’s going on?”

“I feel that something major must have happened. Zhao Ming Qing is Master Lin’s student. If he’s sick, why would he need to go to the hospital? It seems to me that there’s only one possibility…”

“Master Lin has disappeared for days. What do you guys think he’s doing?”

“Don’t know. I’ll keep watching the news.”

Cloud Street.

When Fraud Tian saw the news, he cried out in shock.

“Zhao Ming Qing has been admitted to the hospital? How can that be?”

Zhao Zhong Yang was taken aback as well. “Do you think that Brother Lin has suddenly disappeared because he’s finding a solution to this?”

Wu You Lan said worriedly, “For something to leave Brother Lin at a loss, it must be very serious.”

“Who knows?”

Beijing.

Zheng Zhong Shan had seen the news as well. When he saw it, he had been stunned. Elder Lin’s student was in the hospital.

Then, he recalled his interaction with Elder Lin on the phone and he instantly understood. Elder Lin must have been trying to save his student first. That was why he had rejected him.

If that was the case, he could understand.
