Riding in Song Lin's car, Hyacine and Hong Guoguo arrived together at a district within the Chaos Capital.
"Miss Hyacine, this is the shop we've prepared for you."
Stepping out of the vehicle, Song Lin led them to a storefront that looked well-renovated from the outside. It was roughly the size of a standard restaurant, though the previous nameplate had already been removed.
Inside, the place was spotless and thoroughly cleaned. It was furnished with sofas, tables, partition curtains, and several hospital beds behind those curtains along with some basic medical instruments. It looked exactly like the layout of a standard medical clinic.
However, seeing these things made Hyacine feel a bit awkward. She turned to Song Lin and said, "Leader Song, I treat people using my own abilities, so these medical instruments aren't actually of much use to me."
"Eh, it's fine." Song Lin waved his hand dismissively, looking unconcerned. "You have to look the part, after all. Otherwise, if people see there's nothing in here but you, they'll definitely have doubts about this so-called medical clinic."
"True..." Hearing Song Lin's explanation, Hyacine nodded thoughtfully. "Then thank you, Leader Song."
"Don't mention it." Song Lin waved his hand quickly. "By the way, should we help you spread the word? This might attract people from Genesis Tech."
"Go ahead and publicize it. Genesis Tech... I'm not afraid of them."
"Spoken with spirit! Hahaha! Then I'll take my leave. I'll arrange for the boys to start spreading the news right away."
After a few loud laughs, Song Lin walked out of the clinic doors.
Seeing him leave, Hyacine spoke to the Little Ica beside her. "Little Ica, are you ready? Many patients will be coming here for treatment soon."
"Doo-doo!"
Little Ica cried out twice and then flew a circle around Hyacine, looking quite excited.
"So... what am I supposed to do?" This came from the girl who had been forgotten on the side—Hong Guoguo pointed at herself, looking a bit lost.
"You'll be responsible for bringing in the patients who are too heavily injured to walk." As she spoke, Hyacine pointed to a wheeled stretcher standing off to the side.
"Oh, okay..."
"Damn you, Genesis Tech!"
A man was holding a woman in his arms, tears streaming down his cheeks as he incessantly cursed Genesis Tech.
The woman in his arms had a shocking gunshot wound on her abdomen. Her breathing was faint and her eyes were tightly shut; it looked like she wouldn't hold on much longer.
He was a small-time leader in a gang, and the injured woman was his best partner—and the person he loved. During a clash with another gang, someone had defected and shot him in the back. He hadn't been able to react, but the woman he loved had detected the anomaly first thanks to her Superpower. She had immediately moved behind him and blocked that fatal shot.
Later, they won the clash and the traitor was eliminated, but... the woman he loved was dying because they couldn't afford Genesis Tech's exorbitant medical fees. Her injuries had been dragged out for too long.
Until now... she was at her limit. In the past, even if medical fees were high, they weren't unreachable... she could have lived.
The man watched helplessly as the woman's life force faded, yet he could do nothing...
"Wang Xiao! Good news!"
At that moment, a man came running over, shouting in pleasant surprise. Wang Xiao, however, didn't give any reaction. Seeing this, the man gave Wang Xiao a hard slap across the face.
"Stop staring! A medical clinic just opened on Eternal Joy Street not far from here, and the fees are very low! I saw people who went in injured coming out fully healed just a short while later. Su Rui can be saved! Get over there with me now!"
"What? I'm coming!"
Wang Xiao's eyes widened. Hearing that "Su Rui can be saved," he didn't even care about being slapped. He picked up the woman and immediately rushed outside.
"Hey... wait for me!" Seeing Wang Xiao run so fast, the man hurriedly chased after him.
"I heard a clinic opened over on Eternal Joy Street with very low fees. Why don't you go check it out?"
...
"Xiao Xue! Hang in there! There's a clinic on Eternal Joy Street, you can be saved! I'll take you there right now!"
...
"A clinic? I'll go take a look. If their treatment isn't bad, I'm never going back to that 'Genesis Tech' place again. It's expensive as hell."
Through various channels and Song Lin's deliberate promotion, the news that a clinic with low prices and excellent results had opened on Eternal Joy Street quickly spread throughout the district and its surroundings. Many injured people and their relatives, who had been turned away by Genesis Tech's high fees, flocked to this clinic.

Inside the clinic, Hong Guoguo was busy maintaining order outside, while the Rainbow Light in Hyacine's hands hadn't stopped since the patients arrived.
I didn't expect the Stellar Jade per patient to be determined by the severity of their injuries. I thought it was a flat 10 Jade per person.
Hyacine sighed, but her hands didn't stop. After all, even if the rewards were random, it was much faster than having Little Ica flatten people.
A short while later, Hyacine opened her eyes and said to the patient in front of her, "Alright, your wounds have healed. You don't need to worry about infection or any remaining debris."
"I'm actually healed! Thank you, Doctor Hyacine!"
"Thank you!"
"I... I actually survived. Thank you, Doctor Hyacine!"
Waves of gratitude rose up. Hyacine smiled and told them they were welcome. Then, the crowd left the clinic while praising her abilities.
Outside, Hong Guoguo saw the group leave and began letting the next batch in. For those with heavy injuries, she had to direct the lackeys sent by Song Lin to help push them in.
As another batch was being treated, a fierce-looking brawny man among them suddenly shouted at Hyacine:
"Doctor Hyacine, since your ability is so powerful, why not join our gang! I guarantee the Boss will give you the highest pay!"
Hearing this, Hyacine frowned slightly and shook her head. "I'm sorry, I don't like joining other factions. Please leave."
The brawny man slammed the table in anger, pointing at Hyacine as he yelled, "Little girl, don't refuse a favor when it's offered! If you keep this up, you'll definitely offend Genesis Tech! Do you think you'll last long without a faction backing you? Calling you 'Doctor' is a sign of respect for your ability—don't think you're actually someone special!"
Hyacine's frown deepened. Facing this kind of lunatic, she was about to call for Little Ica.
But before she could speak, a slender, long leg delivered a heavy kick straight to the man's face.
The brawny man was sent flying by the impact. He spun mid-air before smashing violently against the wall, a testament to just how much power was behind that kick.
