Chapter 9 Talismans

Seeing the payment notification on his phone that was 10 times more than the amount he had paid, Luo Chen fell silent.

He's seen cases where people are given extra money before.

After all, his fees are significantly lower than those of hospitals, and his results are much better.

Therefore, many people offered him more money, but he returned most of it on the spot.

This was the first time Luo Chen had ever encountered someone who would pay extra and then skip out on the order.

Forget it, they can run away but they can't hide. We'll just retreat when we run into them.

Luo Chen shook his head and then put away his phone.

At the same time, Mo Fan walked in through the door.

"Isn't today your consultation time? Why is the clinic door open?"

Mo Fan, holding an unopened bag of clothes, looked at Luo Chen and asked.

"A wounded member from the city's monster-hunting team came to me for help, so I opened the door while I was at it."

Luo Chen answered casually.

"Those people who ran past just now, I thought they were some lunatics using magic to run through the street."

Mo Fan pursed his lips speechlessly.

"By the way, the clothes you wanted, Xinxia bought them when she went shopping before. They've been sitting at home, and she's taken good care of them, but it seems like she's never worn them."

"It hasn't even been sealed yet, so I just handed it to you directly."

Thanks.

Luo Chen took the unopened bag of clothes and casually thanked him.

"You're welcome."

Mo Fan casually closed the door of the clinic, then took a pot of tea and poured himself a cup.

"By the way, what kind of injury did that guy from the city's monster-hunting team you just saved have? Why were they so anxious to find you?"

"His leg was accidentally bitten off by the demon while he was restraining it."

I guess they wanted me to reattach their leg before it became completely necrotic, which is why they were in such a hurry.

"I see,"

Mo Fan nodded, then sighed.

"It seems that being a member of the city's monster-hunting team isn't easy either; their lives are in danger all the time."

I have no idea what demons actually look like. I've always heard about how powerful demons are from textbooks, but I've never actually seen one.

"You will see him/her, probably next semester. There will be an outdoor training trip for second-year high school students, and you will be able to see him/her then."

Luo Chen recalled the plot of the original work and then offered a reminder.

Mo Fan nodded, then saw a note on the counter. He picked it up and opened it.

puff! ! !

Mo Fan immediately spat out the tea in his mouth.

Luo Chen frowned, but before he could speak, Mo Fan pointed to the numbers on the paper with a serious expression.

"Damn, Mr. Luo, when did your prices become so outrageous?"

Luo Chen didn't even turn his head, but just rolled his eyes at Mo Fan.

"I don't see patients during these hours. If you disturb me during my rest time, your consultation fee will naturally be higher."

"This isn't just a little bit; it's increased dozens of times! This is the first time I've discovered you have the potential to be a ruthless businessman."

Mo Fan looked at the numbers on the paper and seriously complained.

"Where did you get dozens of times more? It's only a few times more expensive than usual!"

Luo Chen asked, puzzled.

"Well, you wrote this yourself, you can't possibly deny it!"

Mo Fan then placed the note in front of Luo Chen.

Luo Chen looked at the numbers in front of him, and then focused his attention on the last zero.

"..."

Luo Chen was speechless for a moment.

"They added that last zero themselves. That's why I had to pay 10 times more."

Mo Fan heard Luo Chen's explanation, then turned the note over and looked at the last piece of handwriting, which was completely different from the previous ones.

Mo Fan also pondered for a while.

"It does seem a bit different, but giving 10 times the fee directly, the city monster hunting team is really rich and powerful."

This wasn't the first time Mo Fan had encountered patients giving him extra money while helping out.

After all, when he was helping out, he was responsible for collecting the fees.

However, this was the first time Mo Fan had encountered someone offering 10 times the money.

"Is the city's monster-hunting team really that arrogant?"

Mo Fan asked to himself.

"They're risking their lives; they never know when they might lose their lives."

Don't be foolish enough to think you can join the city's monster-hunting team.

If you need money, just borrow it from me; I won't charge you interest.

Luo Chen kindly reminded him.

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. I will never try something without being prepared."

Mo Fan spoke casually.

Mo Fan also understood that Luo Chen's words were not just polite formalities.

After all, Luo Chen had promised to pay him a salary when he came to help, but Mo Fan refused.

After all, Luo Chen had previously treated his father's illness for free, and later treated his sister's illness for free and even went to great lengths to provide follow-up consultations.

Mo Fan and his family owed Luo Chen a lot of money, so how could Mo Fan possibly ask for wages?

However, seeing how extravagant the city's monster-hunting team was, Mo Fan was indeed tempted.

Although Luo Chen's offer wasn't high, after it increased tenfold, it became a completely different matter.

Mo Fan knew all too well that what he lacked most, given his innate dual-elemental nature, was the means to acquire resources.

If he hadn't yet seen a demon in person, he would have wanted to go and try it right now.

However, he also knew that if he went there now, he would most likely be a burden.

According to his calculations, he should be able to master the fire element stars before the end-of-year assessment in his first year of high school.

After participating in the second-year high school trials, he might be able to join the city's monster-hunting team.

Seeing Mo Fan's interested expression, Luo Chen knew that his persuasion would be useless.

Luo Chen shook his head, but after thinking for a moment, he still took out a few talismans from his pocket.

"Take it. It can save your life if necessary. I don't want you to be unable to even make it to my place."

"What is this? A Taoist talisman? You've got the wrong movie; there are such things in the magical world."

Mo Fan looked at the several Chinese-style talismans in Luo Chen's hand and muttered to himself in exasperation.

Luo Chen immediately rolled his eyes.

"Qin Shi Huang used magic, so isn't it normal for Taoist talismans to appear?"

This thing is called a magic scroll outside; it can be used directly without any restrictions, and it's for survival.

"That's great?!"

After hearing about the effects of the previous talismans, Mo Fan sat up in surprise.

"Could you give me a few more? These few aren't enough."

Mo Fan looked at Luo Chen with a pleading expression and asked.

"What are you thinking? Haven't you ever learned anything about magic? This stuff is extremely rare, I don't even have many on me..."

No wonder!

Luo Chen rolled his eyes inwardly.

These magic scrolls are actually talismans. If Luo Chen wanted to mass-produce them, he could simply write them with his eyes closed.

His master spent a lot of time and effort to create one sheet, but he could write dozens of sheets in a second.

The only difference is whether Luo Chen wants to do it or not.

The reason why Luo Chen had so many but didn't want to give them to Mo Fan was simply because he was afraid that Mo Fan would develop a bad habit of relying on external things to win.

After all, Mo Fan is destined to become a God of Magic. If he develops a habit of relying on external things because of himself, Luo Chen would be speechless.

"Wow, these are so rare! What kind of effects do these images have?"

"This is a sealing talisman, which can restrict magic to a certain extent. This is a trapping talisman, which can immobilize demons for a certain period of time."

This is a Swiftness Talisman, which will make you run faster; this is a Golden Light Talisman, which will allow you to withstand a few more attacks.

Mo Fan's eyes lit up as he looked at the numerous talismans before him.

"However, why are they all defensive, escape, and restraint-type attacks? There aren't any offensive ones."

"Yes, but this thing is for saving your life, forcing you to flee from demons. Offensive talismans aren't as effective."

Instead of having time to fight back, it's better to just run, or hold out until I arrive.

Luo Chen spoke calmly.

Mo Fan nodded in understanding, and then began to count the talismans in his hands.

Luo Chen then took the unopened bag of clothes and went into the back room.

As soon as Luo Chen entered the room behind the clinic, he saw Xin Xia, who had already changed her clothes, coming out.

However, upon seeing this, Luo Chen unconsciously shifted his gaze away.

Xin Xia was wearing Luo Chen's white shirt. The men's clothing, which was originally a bit thin, looked particularly slim on Xin Xia, and her graceful figure was especially eye-catching.

She was so well-endowed that she was almost revealing.

Xin Xia clearly didn't expect to see Luo Chen as soon as she stepped out. Her face instantly turned red, and she quickly turned her back.

After all, she was currently going commando, and she hadn't expected the shirt to be so tight that...

In an instant, steam seemed to rise from the top of Xinxia's red head.

Seeing Xin Xia turn away, Luo Chen also turned his gaze back.

Putting everything else aside, at least Luo Chen now knows that his future child won't go hungry.

Luo Chen walked to Xin Xia's side and handed her the bag of clothes.

Xin Xia took the bag of clothes from Luo Chen's hand, then ran straight into the bathroom as if fleeing, and closed the bathroom door.

Luo Chen couldn't help but smile as he watched Xin Xia's series of actions.
