Chapter 1306: New Power – SLOW

Chapter 1306: New Power – SLOW

Next day.

Morning, after 8 am.

Its a bright and windy day.

Dong Xuebing got out of bed in his old apartment. He yawned and took out a cigarette. He sat on his bed and smoked. He was alone as Sister Xu had left last night. Although Xu Yan said they had forty minutes, their session lasted more than one and a half hours. He hoped he did not delay her matters. He was exhausted and fell asleep while hugging her. He does not know what time she left.

Eh?L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.

Theres something on the table.

Dong Xuebing saw a note under the ashtray while flicking the cigarette ash. He read it.

I am leaving. Have a good rest.

Xu Yan.

Dong Xuebing smiled and kept the note.

Suddenly, Dong Xuebings phone rang.

Dong Xuebing snubbed his cigarette and picked up his phone. It was from Yao Cui.

Hello. Dong Xuebing answered.

Xuebing, its me. Yao Cui.

Haha I know.

I am at our workplace. The leaders asked me to check with you on your recovery. How are you?

The doctor says I will be fine after some rest. What is it? Did something happen at work?

Not really. Its about the funds from the Central government. The higher-ups felt keeping the money in our Finance Department was not a good idea. Many department heads and townships are eyeing the money. There will be someone coming to ask for funds every day. The fund is insufficient for every department, and the County had several meetings to discuss how to distribute the funds. Secretary Meng cannot decide. The Party Committee wanted to decide during the next meeting next month. You are in charge of the Finance Department and have received money from the Central Government. Mayor Jiang called me yesterday, and I think she hopes you can attend next months Party Committee meeting. But your body

Dong Xuebing blinked. Mayor Jiang wants me to return?

I dont know. But I heard it from Mayor Jiangs secretary.

All right. I know. The meeting is more than ten days away. I will attend the meeting.

Your injuries need at least three to four months to recover. Dont force yourself. What if you worsen your injuries?

Its fine. I shall see about it. This is about the fund, and I must attend the meeting.

Ok. Take care of yourself.

Dont worry about me. I recover fast.

Dong Xuebing noted it on his phone. He got the money and wants to know how the County will use it. Mayor Jiang should have had some plans but did not call him because of what happened. Thats why she got her secretary to contact Yao Cui to pass the message. She needs Dong Xuebings support at the meeting as they were from the same camp.

There are still over ten days to the meeting.

Dong Xuebing was in no hurry to return.

Dong Xuebing knew he could not learn Chinese medicine and started reading Western medicine books after memorizing the acupuncture points.

3 am.

Dong Xuebing looked at the time. He was tired but not sleepy. After the session with Sister Xu yesterday, he was satisfied, had a good sleep, and recovered from his injuries.

Lets read a while more and sleep at 4 a.m.

Dong Xuebing started reading the fourth book. It is a translated book. Although the book was translated into Mandarin, many terms and words were in English. He lit a cigarette and started reading the book on the sofa.

The usage of hemostatic forceps are

Dong Xuebing read softly and read out the English words. When he saw the word SLOW, he suddenly thought about his power. He blinked and read it. SLOW!

The next moment, Dong Xuebing felt something in his mind.

Dong Xuebing paused for a second. This was how he felt when he used his powers. What happened? Did I give a command?

Dong Xuebing called out his MENU to check.

Remaining time.

Two minutes thirty-five seconds

Two minutes thirty-four seconds

Two minutes thirty-three seconds

His time was decreasing.

Dong Xuebing dropped his cigarette. What command did I say?

SLOW?

Its SLOW!

Dong Xuebing felt he dropped his cigarette, and his natural reflex was to catch it. To his surprise, his cigarette was floating in the air. It was dropping very slowly. It looked like a feather falling to the ground and landed a few seconds later.

SLOW? What is SLOW?

Does it mean slowing down?

Dong Xuebing knew he found a new command. He looked at the curtains moving by the breeze. It was moving very slowly, as if it was in slow motion. He was overjoyed.

SLOW!

This means time has slowed down!

Dong Xuebing was glad he read these medical books.
