SRGA Chapter 57: Building the Persona of a "Gu" King
Lin Tian shook his head. "Grandpa Luo, being a divine physician isn't easy. Besides not having a medical license, even if I did, how would I charge for treating others?"
"If the fees are high, many people who can't afford treatment will curse at me. If the fees are low, I'll end up exhausted and in trouble."
"Patients may die for various reasons, but the chances of being extorted are not low as long as they have been treated by me."
Luo Yongqian sighed lightly.
Instances of the farmer and the snake were indeed not few in this day and age.
Even helping someone on the street could lead to trouble, even with evidence of innocence.
"I could live off my wife; there's no need for me to earn this money. Right, Bingning?" Lin Tian grinned at Luo Bingning.
Luo Bingning rolled her eyes at Lin Tian. "Lin Tian, the way you say it, it's like living off your wife is something to be proud of."
"It depends on what kind of 'living off' it is. If I were dating a sixty-year-old, then it wouldn't be very dignified."
"Living off you, others would only envy me," Lin Tian said confidently.
Luo Bingning: "..."
Luo Yongqian chuckled as he watched them.
With Lin Tian's thick-skinned nature, Luo Bingning was definitely not going to escape.
Being shameless was one thing, but Lin Tian actually had skills.
Having skills along with thick skin made him unbeatable.
"I won't talk to you anymore; I'm going to work."
"You say your job is flexible, so why don't you accompany Grandpa? If you cure him, Grandpa will give you a bonus."
Luo Bingning turned and left the room hurriedly.
Lin Tian followed her out of the room.
A bronze treasure chest appeared above Luo Bingning's head!
"Bingning, you mentioned earlier that I should check you, but we haven't done that yet. How about I check you now?" Lin Tian asked in a low voice, leaning closer to Luo Bingning.
His head bumped into the bronze treasure chest above Luo Bingning's head.
"Grandpa is still here."
"Wait until Grandpa leaves, then I'll let you check."
Blushing, Luo Bingning hurriedly left.
Lin Tian, now possessing grandmaster-level ancient medical skills, might be able to diagnose by pulse, but why bother with pulse diagnosis when he could take advantage of his wife?
If there was a chance to take advantage of his wife's kindness, he would take it.
"Ding, bronze treasure chest opened."
"Congratulations, host, for obtaining grandmaster-level foreign language skills, including English, Russian, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Portuguese, and Spanish."
The system's voice sounded in Lin Tian's mind.
A massive amount of information flooded into his head. Even though Lin Tian was a martial arts grandmaster, it wasn't easy for him to process it all.
"Phew!"
After five minutes, Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wow, I gained proficiency in nine foreign languages in one go."
Lin Tian's eyes lit up with joy. This was very practical; with these nine foreign languages, he could confidently translate in real-time.
"It seems like I need to find a way to get more treasure chests from Bingning."
"Occasionally teasing her might increase the drop rate of treasure chests!"
Lin Tian muttered to himself.
"Xiao Lin, I'm going downstairs to move around. Is that okay? I feel like I haven't been this comfortable in ten years."
Luo Yongqian came out of the room and asked.
Lin Tian smiled. "Of course, Grandpa Luo. How about I take you around S City? With your current condition, you probably haven't had a good tour in years."
"That sounds great," Luo Yongqian said with a smile.
Throughout the day, Lin Tian took Luo Yongqian to many places. He met a lot of people, but he still hadn't found any treasure chests.
Lin Tian basically gave up hope in this situation.
The chances of finding treasure chests from others were slim.
"Lisha, it's up to you next."
As Lin Tian drove home, a man in the car behind him spoke in Japanese, then signaled to turn.
"Imaki, Luo Yongqian is just an old man; he's unlikely to be a member of the Dragon Group. Are they overthinking it?"
"Lisha, never doubt the organization. Luo Yongqian rarely comes out, so record everything you see and hear. Understand?"
"Understood."
Another car started and followed Lin Tian's car.
Lin Tian's eyes flickered with a gleam of light. The others thought they were very cautious and probably wouldn't be discovered, but he was a grandmaster-level expert.
Even though they were speaking with closed windows, Lin Tian could hear them clearly.
If it had been before today, Lin Tian wouldn't have understood even if he had heard them, but this morning, he happened to gain grandmaster-level foreign language skills.
Japanese was one of them.
"Luo Yongqian is a member of the Dragon Group?"
Lin Tian wondered.
Luo Yongqian was just an ordinary person. If he really was a member of the Dragon Group, it wouldn't be the kind of martial organization in novels.
It might be something similar to the Skull and Bones Society in the United States.
If Luo Yongqian was a member, what kind of power did the Dragon Group have, and what was its purpose? Given Xiao Benzi's blood feud with Huaxia, they would definitely be very vigilant and worried.
"Xiao Lin, it's been a long time since I've had such a good tour. Thank you for today."
Driving into the underground parking lot of the community, Luo Yongqian smiled happily.
"Grandpa Luo, we're family; there's nothing to thank for."
Lin Tian smiled.
"Haha, that's true."
"I think the chances of you and Bingning continuing together are quite high."
Luo Yongqian laughed heartily.
The two went upstairs, and Luo Bingning was already back, cooking. After putting down his phone, Lin Tian and Luo Yongqian went into the room.
"Grandpa Luo, do you know about the Dragon Group?" Lin Tian asked.
Luo Yongqian's pupils slightly contracted, and his heartbeat quickened slightly. His expression remained unchanged, but Lin Tian had basically determined that he knew.
Or rather, Luo Yongqian was a member of the Dragon Group.
"Xiao Lin, how do you know about the Dragon Group?" Luo Yongqian stared at Lin Tian intently and said in a deep voice.
Lin Tian said, "Grandpa Luo, today someone tracked us, and someone spoke in Japanese about the Dragon Group. They suspect you're a member of the Dragon Group."
"Perhaps they want to use you to confirm the other members of the Dragon Group."
Luo Yongqian fell silent for a moment before saying, "Xiao Lin, the Dragon Group is a patriotic organization with considerable power."
"There are some things the country is not convenient to handle directly, so the Dragon Group has done some things secretly, naturally offending some countries and forces."
"Don't ask any more, don't get involved."
Lin Tian smiled, "Grandpa Luo, I'm just reminding you. When you're out in the future, you should be careful."
"I'm not interested in getting involved in this kind of thing."
Luo Yongqian nodded slightly. "Now that I know we're being watched, I'll definitely be more careful when I'm out. Xiao Lin, do you know Japanese?"
Lin Tian chuckled, "I know a little bit of every major language."
Luo Yongqian looked at Lin Tian in amazement.
"Which ones do you know?"
"English, German, French, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Portuguese, and Spanish. I know these nine."
Luo Yongqian: "..."
Lin Tian used the word "only" well.
"Can you hold a normal conversation in all of them?"
"More or less."
Luo Yongqian exclaimed in amazement. Lin Tian actually knew nine foreign languages, and with his medical skills and guqin proficiency, he was a genius.
"Did you hide any other abilities?"
Luo Yongqian asked curiously.
Lin Tian smiled awkwardly. "I did hide a little bit more."
He hadn't told Luo Yongqian about firearms, martial arts, erhu, or his master-level medical skills and car skills.
"Grandpa, don't ask anymore. I've already had a lot of exposure lately."
