Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Group Therapy

"Xiao Chen, you've just come back, and you're not planning to return to spend time with your wife and child?"

Zhou Shengtao asked somewhat uncertainly. Sёarch* The nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Yet Chen Yu put on an air of righteousness, "Now that I'm considered an informal member of the staff, with such severe cases of food poisoning, I ought to lend a hand. Besides, I do hold a medical practitioner license."

Zhou Shengtao looked at Chen Yu with obvious admiration.

"Good, then you follow us and go, too!"

Without saying much else, Chen Yu directly joined the relevant personnel and got into the vehicle.

After the system upgrade, the only way to accumulate points was to do good deeds.

He now had to test just how many points he could accumulate from various activities.

Besides, he still wasn't very familiar with the system and needed to understand all of its attributes in the shortest time possible.

There were many rural towns on the outskirts of Suzhou City, and the one they were headed to was an extremely densely populated township.

The economic growth of this township was said to be the fastest in all of Suzhou City.

As they just entered the township, vast fields of cash crops came into view.

Moreover, the air here was extraordinarily fresh, and even Chen Yu greedily inhaled several breaths.

However, just as they were about to reach the residential area, they found many people collapsed by the roadside, clutching their stomachs in agony.

And their bodies were extremely thin, looking malnourished from afar.

Chen Yu couldn't help but frown; he had never seen such symptoms before.

[System notification: all villagers are suffering from parafossarulus gland snail gland poisoning, and the host is advised not to consume any local water or food.]

Chen Yu's eyes widened in surprise; he knew that the parafossarulus carried parasites, which at most entered the human brain and damaged nerve tissue.

As long as one underwent surgery, it could still be cured.

But looking at these people, it seemed like something had completely sucked away the nutrients in their bodies, and even their bones appeared broken.

Chen Yu put on a mask and got out of the car, helping up one of the individuals lying by the roadside.

After a quick examination of the patient's body, he found that the person was filled with a large number of worm eggs, some of which had already penetrated the internal organs.

Chen Yu's breathing became rapid; he had to cure these people in the shortest time, or else the worm eggs of the parafossarulus would eat them alive into skeletons.

"Ling Ling, do you have any treatment methods?"

[The illness is a variant strain of the parafossarulus snail disease, and currently, there is no effective treatment method.]

Chen Yu's frown deepened.

"Then what do we do? Are we just going to watch these villagers die?"

[The only way is to find a method to attract the worm eggs out of the patients' bodies.]

A rough plan then emerged in Chen Yu's mind.

To Chen Yu's relief, this time the system did not charge any points.

"Mr. Chen, how are things looking?" a relevant official hurried over to ask as they got out of the car.

"Tell everyone not to eat anything here, especially water, don't drink it at all! Additionally, contact nearby towns to gather a large amount of pork and medicinal herbs," Chen Yu said and then handed over a prescription he had written.

The worker, not daring to be negligent, took the prescription and drove off.

Basically, everyone in the town had fallen ill with the same disease, suffering unbearably.

The parasites within their bodies were a variant of the golden apple snail, in other words, these snails treated the human body as a kind of parasitic nourishment.

Unless these patients were burned to death together, the variant of the golden apple snail could be completely eradicated.

But such inhumane treatment methods would be agreed upon by no one.

The only choice was to use pork soaked in medicinal water to lure the snail eggs out of the human body.

It wasn't long before a large quantity of pork and medicinal materials had been delivered here.

Chen Yu didn't hesitate, immediately preparing a bowl of medicine soup and then placing a piece of pork into it, bringing it in front of an elderly patient with severe symptoms.

The old man's body was so withered and twisted in constant spasms that he looked as though he wouldn't survive for much longer.

Chen Yu fed the old man some strength-building medicinal pills he had prepared and then made a small incision on his wrist.

He then placed the medicated pork under the wrist.

Before long, fresh blood mingled with pink particles began to flow out of the old man's body, seeping into the pork.

Once all of the pink particles had left the old man's body, his complexion noticeably improved.

After checking the old man's body and confirming that all the eggs were cleared, Chen Yu immediately treated the wound.

He then threw the bowl in his hands into the prepared furnace.

With a series of light popping sounds, those eggs were directly burnt to ashes.

This method of treatment made the onlookers shudder.

Who could have thought that these eggs would burrow into a person's body?

Chen Yu also breathed a sigh of relief, at least proving that this method was effective.

"Everyone, please follow the method I've taught earlier and treat the patients in the town one by one. Remember, do not touch those pink particles!"

Although the people were reluctant, they were the relevant personnel after all.

Moreover, Chen Yu had already provided the method, so they had no excuse not to get to work.

Therefore, the people could not fuss overmuch and hurriedly treated the patients according to the method Chen Yu had taught.

After three full days, they were finally able to relieve all the patients of their ailments.

The township had a population of over five hundred thousand; if not for the large number of supporting personnel who came to help, it would have taken even longer.

In the following days, Chen Yu strolled through the fields, tossing his prepared medicinal materials into the water sources.

These medicines were formulated after meticulous analysis by the system, which could kill the snails and ensure the water sources wouldn't be damaged.

[Congratulations, Host, you have earned one thousand reward points]

Chen Yu felt somewhat frustrated; to think that resolving the ailments of over five hundred thousand people garnered him so little reward.

He sighed in resignation, did not linger any longer, and after a brief farewell to the accompanying personnel, he went straight back to Watermoon No. 1.

By now it was ten o'clock at night, Tong Ya had already returned home and was practicing yoga in front of the TV with Tuan Tuan.

Seeing Chen Yu return, the two beauties, one big and one small, greeted him warmly.

"Daddy, you're finally back. You've been gone for nearly half a month this time!"

Chen Yu rubbed Tuan Tuan's little head somewhat sheepishly, "That's why Daddy rushed back in the shortest time possible."

Tuan Tuan giggled and then took a few steps back.

"Daddy, I've learned a new dance, I'll perform it for you now!"
