Chapter 110: First day

The results took an entire day to publish. During the day, Ning had to go and work as an attendant which waiting for the results. 

Once more, Ning was put together with a female Physician that was too good for her own sake. Every patient she encountered, she treated as if they were nothing but a question for her to answer regardless of their feelings. 

She would find the cause and lay it to them bluntly. 

'Damn, does this physician not know about bedside manner?' Ning wondered. 

She also treated him quite badly. He struggled through the day, trying not to get angry at her, and managed to pass the entire day without causing any incidents. 

'Ah, finally. I get to see my results,' he thought and went back to the Learning Hall. He along with all the different people who took their exam was once more brought back to the exam room.

"We have finished checking your answers and the results are out," the elder who took their exam was back. 

"There are 10 people who passed the test amongst your whole group," the elder said. 

'Only 10? There were over 200 people who took the tests though. That's quite a filter,' Ning thought. 

"I will now announce the names of the new volunteer," the elder said and started speaking out the different names of the new volunteers. 

Ning waited for his own name to arrive, and it didn't take long. As expected he easily passed the test. The elders didn't bother telling them how many points they got or anything, however. 

The ones who didn't pass left dejectedly and vowed to do better, while Ning and the others were made to stay back to give some more information. 

The elder then told them how volunteering really worked, aside from the medical aspects of it. They would be making no money on their own but would be earning points based on how many patients they are able to treat and to what level.

Once enough points are accumulated, they could take one of the 3 exams required to become a physician. If they failed, the next exam would cost half the price.

In total, one could get a maximum point of 5 from each patient and required 2000 points to take the physical exam. 

'Hmm… I need 400 patients to give me 5 points, or 2000 patients to give me 1 point just to get a chance to take a single exam? Sh*t,' Ning thought. 

The group of 10 was given a few more information before letting go for the day. Ning returned back to his cottage and decided to sleep for the first time in a while. 

Tomorrow was a big day.

Early in the morning, Ning woke up and went to the physician's guild. The volunteer section had its own entrance to the side, so Ning went there. He had been here before while roaming from the inside, but never from the outside. 

'Woah,' he said in shock when he saw a line of people waiting to get treated. None of the people looked like they were badly injured or had any diseases, and were only here for minor problems. 

Ning walked in and soon found a room with his name on it. 'Sigh, we don't get our attendant huh?' he thought as he remembered what was told yesterday. 

His job was to go in and wait. He wasn't given patients like the different physicians got and could only wait for them to come on their own. 

Ning waited and waited and waited but nobody arrived. Finally, his door opened at late noon as a man walked in and saw him. He then turned around to check the name on the board and said, "Sorry, wrong place," and walked out. 

Ning was left speechless. The rest of the day he got zero people. 

'Damn, this is hard,' he thought. 'How do I get people?' he wondered. He went back to his cottage to think of different ideas. 

'I probably need to be popular if I want to get more, but how?' he wondered. 'I already work for free, so I can't reduce the price. I can't flaunt my knowledge without getting a chance in the first place.' 

'Should I promise 1 silver per person who visits me? No, if the guild finds out they may think I'm being unfaithful to the rules. I can't do that.'

'Hmm… so the only option left for me is to do something that… doesn't exist in the guild yet,' Ning thought. 'What doesn't exist yet?' 

Ning thought for a while and tried to come up with new ideas. Finally, brilliance struck him. 

'That's it. System, show me…' he asked what he wanted and bought it from the system.

New information appeared on his mind as he smiled at the new plan. 'Haha, this will work for sure,' he thought. Then, he started cultivating once more. 

By now, his body had almost adapted to the Qi on the planet and also was one step closer to the 7th Qi Condensation realm. He wasn't far off before he would be able to break through. His body cultivation was also at a similar level and would follow his Qi cultivation soon after.

As for his mental strength, it was increasing at a decent rate. Not amazing, but not bad either.

Early morning, Ning woke up and left his cottage. However, he didn't go to the guild and instead went to the furniture shop to get what he needed. Once he got it, he returned to the volunteer hall.

Under the gaze of the different people, Ning walked up to his room. However, instead of entering, he took off the sign with his name on it and started writing something else on top of it. 

Once he was done writing, he put the sign back in place and walked in. The people were stunned at the random act of one of the volunteers and went in to read what was written.

When they did read it, however, they couldn't help but give out a single response.

What?
