Although the game world was incredibly fun, and Chen Yu wanted to stay there forever, his body in the real world still needed attention.
After coming out of the Serenitea Pot, Chen Yu, who had thrown himself into intense revision, was reminded by the system that his bladder capacity in the real world was approaching its limit; if he didn't go out soon, he wouldn't be able to hold it anymore.
He quickly exited the game, and as soon as he stood up, he found two kind-faced old men in white coats standing beside him.
Chen Yu didn't care who these two old doctors were.
He was about to get out of bed and leave to quickly go to the restroom when he was pressed back down by four burly men in white coats.
Then, he turned around and saw the entire room filled with doctors in white coats.
This was the first time he had encountered such a scene in a hospital.
Although with his current physical condition, he could break free from the four burly men, Chen Yu glanced at the room full of doctors in white coats, felt the urge to urinate, and still gave up on the idea.
There were too many people, and they were all doctors. Without knowing if they had any corruption, bribery, or other dark histories, it was truly difficult to act recklessly.
The main reason was the fear of not being able to hold it if he exerted himself.
And if he wasn't mistaken, the two standing behind the old men, like quails, should be the hospital's director and vice-director, while that familiar-looking doctor, squeezed to the doorway, should be his current attending physician, right?
After all, his experience was enough to pique the curiosity of the director and vice-director.
Chen Yu had also conversed with them, and they were all very cheerful people.
They told Chen Yu to treat the hospital as his home, not to worry about medical expenses, and to stay as long as he wanted.
His unit's leader also called, telling Chen Yu to follow all the hospital's arrangements and not to worry about work for the time being.
Free food and lodging at the hospital, no worries about expenses, no worries about work, and doctors lining up for consultations—where could he find such a good deal?
It just involved a slight sacrifice of personal freedom.
However, after Chen Yu's strong arguments, he still managed to get a private room without surveillance.
Anyway, he didn't plan to go out now; the hot news about him hadn't died down, and he didn't want paparazzi following him every time he stepped out.
Furthermore, Chen Yu wasn't sure if there were any officially backed supernatural organizations like the Special Affairs Bureau, Dragon Group, or All-Tong, or humans with supernatural powers, in the real world.
He currently just wanted to play games peacefully, the kind where he could earn "money" while lying down.
As long as he was strong, he wouldn't fear other petty individuals causing trouble.
Anyway, it seemed very safe for now. After applying a Confundo to his gaming helmet, he no longer worried about thieves stealing his helmet.
Besides, Chen Yu hadn't yet figured out how to deal with various matters in the real world, nor had he considered how to use his superpowers in the real world. This was the main reason why Chen Yu felt his body had recovered but still hadn't left the hospital.
He also wanted to see if any official supernatural organizations in reality would approach him, as being struck by lightning nine times and surviving was enough to pique their curiosity.
However, so far, Chen Yu hadn't seen any evidence of supernatural powers existing in the real world.
What he had seen a lot of in the real world over the past few days were many high-level doctors observing him.
So, what level were the two bigwigs standing in front of the hospital director and vice-director?
Looking at the two old doctors who needed assistance to walk, Chen Yu didn't dare to resist forcefully.
Perhaps these two were important national figures; if he resisted forcefully and they kicked the bucket, how would he continue to live in the real world?
Acting recklessly with magic wasn't true happiness; life wasn't about fighting and killing, but about human relations.
As a person with principles and conscience, Chen Yu felt it was better to act low-key in the real world.
After all, his parents were still in the real world. The phrase 'leaving one's hometown' was easy to say.
But unless absolutely necessary, who would willingly leave their hometown?
Fortunately, these two highly respected doctors were very understanding. They said they would only take ten minutes for the examination and wouldn't delay him much.
However, half an hour passed, and he was really about to burst, yet Chen Yu still hadn't seen any sign of the two bigwigs getting up.
"Two senior elders, are you done with the examination? I really need to pee!"
Chen Yu helplessly tugged at his collar, letting a white-haired old doctor tremblingly use a stethoscope to carefully listen to his heartbeat.
On the other side, another old doctor with a wrinkled face was frowning, taking Chen Yu's pulse.
He was muttering words like, "Strange, strange, strange."
One shouldn't fear a smiling Chinese medicine doctor, but one should fear a Chinese medicine doctor with downcast eyes.
Chen Yu, however, wasn't afraid of this old Chinese medicine doctor's downcast eyes.
Because he was muttering: "This shouldn't be. Yin and Yang are balanced, pulse is regular, five elements are harmonious, qi and blood are flowing smoothly. This shouldn't be. Why is this young man's body so healthy? He doesn't look like someone struck by lightning at all, let alone struck nine times. What great fortune, truly great fortune..."
The director on the other side introduced them, saying that these were two highly respected, retired academicians from China who, after accidentally seeing Chen Yu's video on their phones, flew thousands of miles from Modu and Jingdu to check on the situation.
They also brought a few disciples and grand-disciples to examine Chen Yu's physical condition and give their apprentices some real-world experience.
Chen Yu didn't really care how the room full of doctors viewed him; he knew that if he didn't find a restroom soon, his bladder would explode.
Looking at Chen Yu's troubled expression, the old academician, who was listening to Chen Yu's heartbeat with a stethoscope, earnestly said to Chen Yu: "Young man, don't rush. Your case is truly too rare. We rarely find someone like you who was struck by lightning nine times and is still alive and kicking."
"You should know that the voltage of a lightning bolt is usually between 1 million and 100 million volts, with an instantaneous current of up to 20,000 amps, and a temperature of over 20,000 degrees Celsius. This temperature is extremely high and very short-lived, but it's enough to generate 3 to 5 times the heat of the sun's surface."
"There was a forest ranger in the Star-Flag Nation named Sullivan who was struck by lightning 7 times in his life and still survived. The first time he was struck by lightning, he took shelter in a fire lookout tower to escape a thunderstorm."
"However, he forgot that this lookout tower was newly built and hadn't yet installed a lightning rod, so the tower became a target for lightning. Seven or eight lightning bolts struck, filling the entire tower with electrical flashes, leaving him nowhere to hide."
"Although he survived that disaster, his shoes were burned through, his toes were scorched, and he had a 15-centimeter-long scar on his right leg. This scar stayed with him his entire life, until he committed suicide, still bearing the marks of being struck by lightning."
"There was also a man named Melvin Roberts, who was struck by lightning 11 times in his life."
"Both of these individuals were lucky in some sense."
"The Star-Flag Nation once conducted a survey. Between 2001 and 2010, an average of over 400 people were struck by lightning each year, but the average number of fatalities was only 39. If calculated this way, the mortality rate from lightning strikes is below ten percent."
"Even if these people survive, they often suffer severe injuries. Lightning strikes can cause atrial fibrillation, arrhythmias, and are also prone to leading to cardiac arrest, myocardial damage, or ruptured blood vessels."
"If the brain or central nervous system is injured, it can also lead to side effects such as dementia, memory loss, sleep disorders, and learning disabilities. In severe cases, it can even cause temporary or permanent paralysis, which prevents them from living like normal people."
"But you are different, young man. The two above endured multiple lightning strikes over their lifetimes, while you endured nine lightning strikes at once, and not only survived but also recovered so quickly. This is a miracle in medical history! It could even be written into textbooks with its own dedicated page."
It was as if his ancestors were frantically pulling strings below, chatting with the King of Hell, to save his little life—that's how incredible it was.
But Chen Yu didn't want to listen to these two old men babbling on; he just wanted to go to the restroom now.
Otherwise, if he really let loose, it would be a flood, a deluge, a complete washout... In front of so many people, that would truly be a huge embarrassment.
