Chapter 566: Saving People
When he used to be a butcher, Seth knew that a clear price would scare away a lot of customers. Everyone wants to get rich, and although a pound of pork is the market price, Seth always wants to sell a pound of pork for the price of ten copper plates. The opening of a clinic in Konoha Town is also based on the same reason. This time, you can give less or nothing. Then next time, in the future, you should never think about still having a chance to live.
Seth had watched many people die in front of his eyes. Even though he was a veterinarian, he could barely perform surgery on ordinary injuries. At the very least, the patients will not die because of this, and they have a better chance of surviving. The reason why they were rejected at that time was that the consultation fee was too small.
Five gold coins for one operation, this is the basic psychological price of Seth.
If the injury is too severe, the price will increase exponentially. Seth never tells the other party if the money is enough, but just does as much as the other party takes out.
Hengrui and the others knew a little bit about Seth's secret secrets, so they took out all the money very simply. As long as Mo Xingkui is alive, a qiē is not a problem.
This time, however, Seth decided to break his own rules.
He looked at Mo Xingkui, who was dying, raised his head, stared at the other members of the fifty-seventh squad with cunning little eyes, and smashed his fat lips: "Listen! I can't operate on him. ”
Lille was younger and more impulsive, and immediately stepped forward, glaring at his reddened eyes and roaring, "Why? ”
"You don't have enough money."
Seth replied quickly, and he walked quietly and quickly to the door, opened the hidden door, and raised his voice so that people outside could hear: "His injuries are serious, and he may be in danger at any time. It's all your fault, and you shouldn't have given him first aid in such a shoddy way. See what you've sewed him into? Even the roughest woman is better than you. Look here, the intestines are sewn on the outside, this guy's blood is almost dry, even if he can really come back to life, his body is almost useless, and he can no longer eat the bowl of mercenary rice. ”
Seth knows how to deal with the situation. He knew very well that with his own skills, it was impossible to save Mo Xingkui. In fact, it was the first time Seth had seen such a serious injury. Mo Xingkui has no rescue value at all, even if he is a licensed doctor who graduated from Imperial Medical University, he just shakes his head and binds his hands at this time. Perhaps, only in the well-equipped Imperial Hospital, Mo Xingkui still has a glimmer of hope. But this is Konoha Town, and there are no even the most basic ventilators and blood pressure monitors.
Bella is the only woman in the Fifty-Seven Squad. She stopped the thunderous Lille, stared at Seth with extremely cold eyes, and asked, "Make a price!" How much do you really want? ”
"I can't guarantee that I'll be able to save him."
Seth is very cunning in setting up his own security premise. Immediately afterward, he stretched out a finger and nervously and excitedly put forward the condition: "I want a thousand gold coins." If you don't, you'd better carry him away! ”
He knew that these mercenaries would not be able to come up with a thousand gold coins anyway. This is equivalent to talking to death in the first place. Seth had been in Konoha Town for a long time, and he was well aware of the temper of mercenaries. These fools and idiots value righteousness more than anything else. What brothers, what love, all of them are empty and false anesthetics. Except for the fact that it can be used to fill the scene when drinking, it is actually impossible to buy even a piece of bread. All right! It is said that it is for brothers and friends to stick knives in both sides, and Lao Tzu has never seen this kind of fool who picks up a knife and stabs himself indiscriminately. But one thing is certain: the people of Squad 57 will not watch their captain die like this. They will borrow money everywhere, although they will certainly not be able to borrow a thousand gold coins, and a few hundred should be fine. Mo Xingkui will die sooner or later, and he just needs to pretend to make a scene of surgery.
Anyway, the ugly words have been said ahead, and whether the operation is successful or not has nothing to do with me. Of course, the consultation fee must not be less. And it's a great opportunity to make a fortune.
That's what the so-called asking for money is not life. Seth is not a fool who does anything for money. He knew that he was the only doctor in Konoha Town. The mercenaries simply had no choice. Even if things get to the worst, someone will stand up and defend themselves. After all, he is the security of all the mercenaries here, as well as the inhabitants. Even if the guys of Fifty-Seven want to vent their anger, they must first get past the others.
"A thousand...... A thousand gold coins? ”
Hengrei's face turned pale suddenly. He turned around and looked at the other team members standing next to him, and saw that everyone's faces were full of anger and pain that could not be concealed.
What is the concept of a thousand gold coins?
That is equivalent to buying a mansion in the hot spot of the first-tier cities of the empire, which is equivalent to no longer having to be a mercenary and living a happy and happy life from now on. You must know that the "indulgence" issued by the Imperial Police is no more than 500 gold coins at most. Of course, unforgivable criminals who committed specific crimes of sabotage, assassination of special people, and severe influence on the security of the empire are not included, and there is no way to clear the criminal record by purchasing indulgences. However, one only needs to look at Redstone City to understand the true value of five hundred gold coins. There are many people there who may not have seen gold coins in their entire lives, and dozens of silver coins are their life's savings.
The money bag that was thrown just now was the savings of everyone in the 57th squad. Heng Gray is the person in the team who has stayed in Konoha Town for the longest time except for Mo Xingkui. He lived here for fourteen years. The shortest was Kukmok, nine years and six months. Many people think that mercenaries are well-paid and belong to the high-income class. In fact, this is not the case, weapons and equipment and so on need to be purchased with funds, and there will not be much left. A thousand gold coins was an astronomical amount they couldn't imagine, and the voice that came out of Seth's mouth was not loud, but it shook through his heart like thunder.
Hengrui has always felt that he has a good temper and belongs to the kind of man who can treat everything calmly no matter what comes his way. But this time, he felt that it was too much to bear, and for some reason the idea of smashing Seth's rotten face into meat sauce came to his mind. Without turning, Hengri also heard the heavy breathing of the other companions standing around. They should think about the same as themselves, wanting to tear this obscene and despicable fat man in front of them to shreds.
Struggling to resist the urge to kill, Hengrui gritted his teeth hard, and quickly let go, his voice becoming hoarse and heavy: "Doctor Seth, please save our captain. You don't have to worry about the money, we'll borrow it now. Now, please hurry up and save him! ”
Seth's slick face shuddered. This is the table of extreme surprise.
He knew he was right, these stupid mercenaries didn't have to think about it at all. They only thought about saving people, but they never thought about the series of problems that followed. Then again, what does it have to do with me whether it's loan sharking or going out hunting dark creatures? Lao Tzu is a doctor, the consultation fee is so high, love to cure it, and get out if it is not cured!
Seth moved his fat body, pretended to pick up the stethoscope, and placed it on Mo Xingkui's chest, which was almost cold. Seeing his action, the nervous and angry hearts of the four members of the 57th squad were also relieved. Just as Hengri was about to turn away, thinking about who to borrow money from, Seth's vile and dirty voice was heard in his ears again.
"It's not going to go on like this, he's in a bad situation. Blood transfusions are necessary, and I have two bags of universal plasma here. It's expensive, and I paid a lot of money to get it. The little money you've taken out isn't even enough for the cost. What if you leave and don't come back? What if you throw him at me and disappear en masse? No, no, no, you'll have to leave something as collateral before I'll give him a blood transfusion. ”
Seth's concerns are not unfounded, and they are entirely logical.
At least, that's what he thinks himself.
Mercenaries are always stupid creatures somewhere between the rich and the poor. Only the devil knows if Hengri can borrow money? What if everyone rejects him? What if he had worked hard and ended up with a handful of gold coins? All issues must be taken into account, and commitment is the least valuable thing in this world. Lao Tzu's fart can also be regarded as a promise, but the question is, who wants to pay for this kind of verbal words?
Cookmock was a strong, black man. He was also covered in dried and blackened blood, and there were several visible scratches on his face. Cookmock was very unaccustomed to Seth's way of speaking, so he took off his assault rifle directly from his shoulder, pulled the bolt hard, raised his gun at Seth, who was a little panicked, and threatened from between his neat white teeth.
"You shameless fat bastard, what mortgage do you want? Lao Tzu can shoot you into a honeycomb right now, and use your head as collateral. I will pay for the operation right away, and I will pay for the rescue of the person, and there will be no less copper plate. If people die, I will make you regret why you are living in this world! ”
Seth shuddered suddenly, immediately threw down the stethoscope, threw away the disinfectant cotton swab he had just held in his hand, like a frightened fat sow, screamed, trotted on tiptoe on the floor, rushed to the door, stood in the middle of the threshold, chubby hands in the air and danced back and forth, making a terrible cry as if he was about to be ****.
"You threaten me? How dare you threaten me? ”
"Carry people away! I, I, I'm gone, I'm gone! ”
"Take your money, take your things, get out of my house, go as far as you want, and I won't see you again!"
Seth is also an evolutionary person, and he also has second-order evolution abilities. If you go head-to-head, although you will be beaten badly by Cookmok, it is not without a chance to fight back. But he is not a mercenary after all, and he is no longer the age of courage and ruthlessness. In contrast, Seth is more willing and prefers to pretend to be crazy and stupid. He knew that the people of Konoha Town needed him. Even if you anger the mercenaries of Squad 57, someone will come forward to help end the game.
Moreover, it is simply impossible for them to make a substantial threat to themselves. Mo Xingkui was lying on the operating table, and with every second of delay, this guy was closer to death.
"Enough!"
Hengrui is a man with a steady personality and a clear mind at all times. But even so, he also felt unbearable for the despicable face of the fat Seth. This tall man, whose physiognomy and features are quite similar to those of the White Russian blood on the earth, rushed to the thousands, dragged away Kukmok, who was aiming at Seth with an assault rifle, and forcibly suppressed the urge to punch Seth's ugly and rotten face into meat sauce, stretched out his hand, grabbed Seth's clothes hard, and pressed Seth's screaming mouth into the corner with his tall body, staring at each other with cold eyes.
"Listen, I don't want to be in trouble. You haven't been in Konoha Town for a short time, you should have heard my name, and you should understand that I'm actually a good talker. ”
Hengri pulled out his pistol, turned it around a few times in the palm of his hand, pointed the thick black muzzle at the sweaty Seth, and said gloomily, "Here, you have two names. Some people call you "Doctor Seth", and some call you "Fat Bastard Seth". You should know better than I do what these two names mean. I really want to blow you in the head with a single shot right now, like the corpse man I shot yesterday at noon. But as you can see, our captain is seriously injured, so I'm going to give up any previous ideas and honestly call you "Doctor Seth". ”
After a moment's pause, Hengrey spun the gun in his hand again. This time, he grabbed the barrel of the gun and handed the handle to Seth, whose face was full of nervousness, and his tone became heavier and heavier, full of eerie and terrifying ingredients: "I do things fairly. So did my partner. But never think that we are blind and deaf, especially Kukmok, who has a very short temper. He never thought there was any Doctor Seth in this world, only that there was a bastard here called Fat Bastard Seth. I won't always speak for you. The person standing here now is me, and in the next second it could become Kukmok. You can see that he doesn't have a crush on you. As long as you do what you have to do, I guarantee that you will be safe and that you will be able to get enough money. ”
Hengrei's voice was not fast, his tone was flat, but everyone could hear that there was a great anger in it.
Seth leaned against the wall, an indescribable chill creeping up his back. He felt that his tongue was a little inflexible, and he struggled to say yes. After all, these mercenaries were terrifying, unlike any patient they had ever received before. It's no wonder that the captain is the soul of the mercenary squad. As for the guy named Mo Xingkui lying on the operating table, Seth had heard more or less about it. It's nothing more than how to be fair to people, how brave to fight, how to have a bottom line in life, and so on...... These damn qualities aren't worth a dime at all in Seth's opinion. He instinctively doesn't like this idiot-like guy. However, only these simple-minded mercenaries are easy to talk and easy to be deceived.
Thinking of this, the kindness that had just begun to sprout in Seth's mind disappeared in an instant. He swallowed hard and spit, and a fierce and tyrannical cold light was released from his small eyes, which were squeezed by the fat meat.
"All in all, you don't have enough collateral."
Seth shouted again, "Do you know the price of universal plasma? This is a standard first aid item for Imperial soldiers. I only have these two bags of stock, and the little money you take out is not even enough for the cost. What will you do when the time comes? What can I do if I pat my ass and leave? No, if this matter is not resolved, I will not save him. When the time comes, this person will die, and if you want to kill me, you can do whatever you want. And you, a who is blacker than coal, come and kill Lao Tzu! Come on! Kill me, and your captain will die faster! ”
In the face of money and danger, Seth still chooses the former. He made up his mind that he would rather be hated by these mercenaries forever, and he would take the last child out of the other party's pocket with a black heart. The reason is very good, the reality is cruel, get out if you don't give money.
Seth's provocation immediately provoked the fury of Cookmock. He picked up his assault rifle again, a thunderous roar coming out of his mouth. This action attracted Hengrei's attention, and he immediately reached out and grabbed the barrel of the gun, and suddenly raised the muzzle of the gun, only to hear a few bursts of "da-da", and several bullet holes suddenly appeared in the thick roof, and a faint smoke came out.
The quarrel was so loud that the surrounding residents gathered around. On this occasion, Cookmock's gunshot was more piercing than ever, and Rille, who was standing next to him, changed his face, and at the same time as Hangrey snatched the gun, Lille also hurriedly hugged Cookmock's shoulders, bound him firmly, and dragged the angry Cookmock out of the house.
"Don't prevaricate me with this nonsense. Seth, we are all well aware of the price of universal plasma. That item sold for no more than two silver coins on the official Imperial Market. ”
Hengrei's jaw tightened, and his eyes filled with pain as he said these words. Heng Gerui no longer had any extra thoughts to be angry, and Mo Xingkui's aura was getting weaker and weaker, and he could die at any time. Now, no matter what conditions Seth this bastard offers, he will accept them unconditionally.
As he spoke, Heng Rui threw down the assault rifle in his hand, pointed to the weapons and equipment on the ground, and looked extremely tired: "We will hand over these things to you." Don't try to test my patience again, you'd better start the surgery now. ”
"As I said, you don't have enough money."
Seeing that the room was full of onlookers, Seth became more and more confident. As he picked up the stethoscope from the ground, he said in a very fast voice, "You'd better get the money now." That's right, universal plasma isn't really worth that much. But don't forget, this is Konoha Town. And I'm the only doctor here. ”
