A Cursed Mask, A Medical Legend

Chapter 11 Be Humble

　　Declan began to meditate according to the method taught in the "Mercy Manual", to feel the spiritual energy of both heaven and earth in the air around him. Through the circulation in his body, he converted it into energy that could be used by him.

　　Declan tried very hard to feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but now that the earth was seriously damaged by technology and advanced industrialization, the natural environment was extremely polluted. Not to mention the extremely precious existence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it would be extravagant to even take a breath of fresh and pure air.

　　Therefore, after trying for a few hours, he could only feel the very faint spiritual energy. He absorbed it into his own body, and then, according to the operation method in the "Mercy Manual", let the spiritual energy stay in his body for a day to convert it into his own energy.

　　Declan was delighted to find that the energy after the transformation was exactly the same as the strange energy in his body. In this way, he no longer had to worry that the golden finger could run out of energy.

　　However, it was a pity that the spiritual energy was too little, and the speed of meditation was very slow.

　　Declan entered the golden space once again and found that the Mercy Manual not only recorded the meditation method, but also many other things, such as medical skills, alchemy skills, talisman skills, and other strange things. It seemed to be a record of a generation of legends. Declan was addicted to it and started to understand this meditation even more.

　　"I didn't expect to get such a manual. With the manual and the golden finger, it's hard not to make a name for myself!" Declan had been meditating on it for the whole night. According to the Mercy Manual, his current level was only at Level One, it was a beginner's level as he just started meditating on it.

　　The next morning, when the sun was rising, Declan finished circulating the spiritual energy in his body for a full day and slowly opened his eyes. He did not sleep the whole night, but he did not feel tired at all. Instead, he was more energetic than usual, and his whole body was feeling good.

　　Declan took a shower and changed into a clean set of clothes. When he opened the door, he saw a bowl of porridge and steamed buns on the cabinet at the door. Declan knew that they were made by Ivanna. He finished the breakfast in a few bites and rushed to the hospital. Today, the leader of the city was coming for a visit, and also to meet him on purpose, so he could not be late.

　　By the time he arrived at the hospital, the entire Chiao's Hospital had been fully parked. There were so many people and the reporters and staff were busy pacing up and down in the hospital.

　　"Dr. Lin!"

　　"Good morning, Dr. Lin!"

　　As soon as Declan entered the hospital, many doctors and nurses greeted him enthusiastically. Declan was a little shocked for a moment. He did not expect to be so famous now, and everyone's eyes were on him, especially those young and beautiful nurses. Their eyes were sparkling when they looked at Declan, which made him feel uneasy.

　　He was too used to being a loser. And now that he had suddenly became an idol, he was really not used to it.

　　"Declan, the Director is looking for you." At this time, Hudson came over and said to Declan coldly. It was obvious that he was not very happy with him.

　　When people around them saw Hudson creating trouble for Declan, they all started to worry for Declan.

　　"Oh no, Declan's first day at work had already brought so much commotion. He must have caused Director Guo's dissatisfaction." A female nurse said worriedly for Declan.

　　A doctor next to her said nervously, "Director Guo is an old fox. Dr. Lin will definitely be at a disadvantage if he is to challenge Director Guo."

　　"All right. Director Guo, the color of your tie looks good today." Declan was now at the first level of practicing his spiritual energy, so his hearing was very sharp and he heard those people's comments. He looked at Hudson's tie in his white coat with a smile and said.

　　"Oh? Really? Looks like you have a pretty good taste." Hudson immediately said proudly, thinking that Declan praised him as a sign that he was giving in to him.

　　Declan nodded seriously and said, "Yes Director Guo, both of us have good taste. I have a pair of socks in the same color as your tie. I like it very much. I'll wear it one day for you to see it."

　　After saying that, Declan walked away with a smile, leaving the angry Hudson standing there. He was so angry that he wanted to destroy the entire hospital. This bumpkin actually compared his tie with his socks. He was too much!

　　The doctors and nurses around them tried to hold back their laughter. They did not expect that Hudson, who had great authority in the hospital, would be humiliated like that in front of Declan. A few of them could not help but burst out laughing.

　　Declan went to the ward. At this time, the leaders of the city were visiting the injured patients at the ward.

　　"Dr. Lin is here. Thank you, Dr. Lin, for saving me from the brink of death!"

　　"Dr. Lin, thank you for your hard work. I heard that you fainted from exhaustion yesterday. You are really a great doctor!"

　　When the patients in the ward saw Declan, they all thanked him with gratitude.

　　Declan said with a modest face, "My pleasure. I'm a doctor. It's my duty to cure patients and save lives."

　　The city mayor in the ward looked at Declan. Old Master Chiao and Susan quickly introduced, "Mr. Wong, this is Dr. Declan from our hospital."

　　After that, Susan introduced to Declan and said, "Declan, this is the mayor of our Seashore City. He is here to visit the patients."

　　Declan was a little surprised. He did not expect the leader to be a mayor of Seashore City. He held his hand out politely and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Wong. I'm Declan Lin."

　　Coleman Wong was very satisfied with Declan. He shook Declan's hand and constantly praised, "Dr. Lin is really a young and talented man. Dr. Lin is really the greatest hero in this emergency. On behalf of the city, I'm very grateful to you and I'd like to say thank you."

　　Declan did not expect that the mayor in the city would be so polite to him. Declan smiled and said modestly, "It's what I should do. You are too kind, Mr. Wong."

　　At this time, the reporters also gathered outside of the ward. Mr. Wong said very thoughtfully, "Let's not disturb the rest of the patients. Let's go outside to do the interviews."

　　Declan did not know how to deal with these reporters, but he was a celebrity now. The reporters' cameras were all aiming at him.

　　"Dr. Lin, what was on your mind when you decided to accept all the patients yesterday? Did you think about what would happen if you didn't succeed?" A doctor asked sharply.

　　Declan said with a heroic look, "I didn't think that much. I am a doctor, I am not supposed to worry about responsibility and consequences. I only think about my patients. At that time, those patients were the closest to our hospital. I don't want their time to receive treatment to be wasted and delayed on the road."

　　"Dr. Lin, do you know that you have become a celebrity now? You are the hero of the Seashore City. Can we take a photo of you?" Another reporter asked. Declan fainted yesterday so the reporters did not manage to take photos of him and the public was very curious about how Declan looked like.

　　Declan replied even more humbly, "I'm not a hero. Yesterday's success was the hard work of all the medical staff in Chiao's Hospital. I'm just one of them. Don't be so obsessed with me. I'm not a legend."

　　After saying that, Declan flashed a self-proclaimed charming smile and waved his hand to leave. He did not like this kind of interview, which made him look like an animal in the zoo performing tricks for the audience. It was too uncomfortable.

　　"Dr. Lin really has a big heart. He has done such a magnificent feat but he is not arrogant at all. He is so humble, it is really admirable!" The crowd could not help but feel emotional as they looked at Declan's back walking away.

　　However, Declan walked so fast because he wanted to use the toilet. He had eaten too much porridge in the morning and was in urgent need of the toilet.
