Chapter 494: Chapter 494: This Is True Medical Benevolence

Park Hao was too cunning. He had clearly planted two moles, yet he only gave Cheng Yuan the chance to swap one. Even if Cheng Yuan had a stroke of luck and swapped out one mole, it wouldn’t be a major setback.

Cheng Yuan said calmly, "One isn’t enough. Let’s swap two."

Park Hao’s pupils contracted slightly. ’Did this kid see through something?’

Park Hao was very nervous, but he couldn’t refuse Cheng Yuan’s proposal. If he did, he would surely be exposed. He could only put on an indifferent facade and say, "Two it is, then. As you wish."

Cheng Yuan nodded. "Then let’s remove the two VIP patients," he said calmly. "We’ll proceed with regular patients 1 through 10."

Park Hao breathed a slight sigh of relief. ’Good, only one of the moles was removed. This isn’t a huge problem.’

Divine Doctor Jiang asked, slightly puzzled, "Divine Doctor Cheng, was there a problem with those two VIP patients?"

The other Divine Doctors instantly realized something and cast wary glances at Park Hao. ’Could he have secretly tampered with the patients?’

’How shameless!’

Cheng Yuan said calmly, "Whether there’s a problem with the two VIP patients isn’t important. They simply don’t need this opportunity for free treatment. It’s better to give it to regular patients who do."

Upon hearing this, all the Divine Doctors were filled with deep respect for Cheng Yuan!

’Now that’s the heart of a true healer!’

’He isn’t thinking about plots and schemes, but about the patients’ genuine needs!’

Park Hao, however, rolled his eyes in annoyance. ’This kid sure knows how to put on a show. He nearly scared me to death a moment ago!’

The Country H embassy was very close to Huichun Hall.

In less than twenty minutes, Military Officer Jin arrived with the Eagle-shaped Pottery Cauldron.

"Dr. Cheng, I’ve brought the Eagle-shaped Pottery Cauldron. Please take a look."

Cheng Yuan felt a dense fluctuation of Spiritual Power coming from the Eagle-shaped Pottery Cauldron, and his eyes couldn’t help but light up!

However, Cheng Yuan didn’t trust the sportsmanship of the people from Country H, so he decisively activated his Double Pupil. His gaze instantly pierced through the thick pottery walls, revealing the Eagle-shaped Pottery Cauldron’s internal structure.

Cheng Yuan couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.

’It really is a Magical Artifact!’

’Inscribed within were the Array Patterns for a Spirit Gathering Array, a Separation Fire Array, and a Hurricane Array!’

’The only shame was that the Array Patterns for the Spirit Gathering Array and the Hurricane Array were broken in several places, greatly diminishing their effects.’

’However, to Cheng Yuan, this was nothing. He knew how to inscribe and repair Array Patterns himself. As long as he could find the right materials, he could restore the Eagle-shaped Pottery Cauldron to its peak condition.’

"The prize is fine. We can start the competition now. Let’s have the patients come in!"

To everyone’s surprise, this time it was Park Hao who raised an objection.

"Wait a moment!"

Everyone was stunned and turned to look at Park Hao. "Mr. Pu, is there another problem?"

Park Hao said in a serious tone, "This is the most crucial battle between Korean Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine! It’s unacceptable to not have witnesses! I propose we select a few media outlets and a couple of influencers to livestream the entire competition!"

Park Hao was so full of confidence that the Traditional Chinese Medicine side was momentarily undecided. They all turned to Jiang Daoyue with questioning gazes.

Jiang Daoyue frowned deeply.

’If this were livestreamed, with the influence of the media and influencers outside, today’s competition would instantly shoot to the top of the trending charts!’

’If they won, that would be one thing.’

’But if they lost...’

’Cheng Yuan would become a pariah in the world of Traditional Chinese Medicine, cursed and condemned by countless keyboard warriors!’

"Divine Doctor Cheng, I cannot make this decision for you. You must consider it yourself! You have every right to refuse Mr. Pu’s proposal. After all, this was not part of the terms we agreed to beforehand."

The assembled Divine Doctors all looked at Cheng Yuan with worried expressions. If this was livestreamed, the event would no longer be a simple competition; he would be shouldering an immense responsibility!

But Cheng Yuan wasn’t the least bit nervous. He smiled faintly. "Perfect. I was worried Mr. Pu might try to back out of it if he loses. If this is livestreamed, my prize can’t run away, can it?"

Cheng Yuan’s calm and composed demeanor completely put the other Divine Doctors at ease and placed immense pressure on Park Hao!

Park Hao stared at Cheng Yuan, unable to fathom why the young man was so confident.

’Could he have made preparations in advance, too?’

’That’s impossible!’

’I only issued the challenge suddenly after my own preparations were complete!’

’Cheng Yuan couldn’t possibly have had the time or opportunity to prepare!’

"Since Mr. Cheng is so confident, allow me to wish you a bountiful return! However, I’m afraid that in the end, Mr. Cheng will only return in disappointment, becoming a pariah to the Dragon Country’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Community! Cursed and reviled for the rest of your life!"

"Mr. Pu, are you talking about yourself?"

Park Hao laughed in anger. "Mr. Jiang, since Mr. Cheng is so confident, please bring in the media and influencers. We’ll have each side invite one media outlet and one influencer."

"Very well."

Jiang Daoyue nodded slightly and turned to Divine Doctor Liang. "Divine Doctor Liang, you were the one at the door receiving the invitations. You’re more familiar with the media and influencers outside. Please go and invite two media outlets and two influencers."

"Yes!"

Soon, two media outlets and two influencers were invited inside.

The four lucky individuals were thrilled, immediately starting to film and photograph everyone.

"Hello my dear viewers! It’s your good friend, OldBones! I’ve got some great news—I’ve hit the jackpot! I’ve been given the chance to livestream the competition up close and personal! Take a look, everyone here is a pillar of the Dragon Country’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Community!"

The bullet comments flew by in a frenzy.

[It’s gotta be our OldBones! I can’t believe we’re getting a live broadcast! When the Patrol Officer stopped him earlier, I thought it was all over for us today!]

[TCM for the win! Divine Doctor Jiang for the win!]

...

After the media and influencers arrived, Jiang Daoyue briefly explained the competition rules, introduced the contestants from both sides, and then announced in a deep voice, "Please bring in patients number 1 through 10!"

Soon, patients 1 through 10 were brought forward. Hearing that they would receive free treatment, all ten of them were very excited.

However, it was the first time they had ever been in such a grand setting. They were a bit stunned and didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly, looking pleadingly toward Jiang Daoyue.

Jiang Daoyue personally took on the role of host and announced in a serious tone, "Now that the patients have all arrived, the first round—the diagnostic challenge—officially begins! Divine Doctor Cheng will diagnose the patients in ascending order, while Dr. Park will diagnose them in descending order! Once finished, you will write your diagnoses on a piece of paper. A panel of judges composed of doctors from both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Korean Medicine will score the results. Do either of you have any questions?"

Cheng Yuan and Park Hao both shook their heads, indicating they had no objections.

The Dragon Country netizens, however, suddenly grew worried.

[Can someone tell me what’s going on? Why is some unfamiliar young man competing against Park Hao? Isn’t Divine Doctor Jiang competing?]

[This has to be a joke! The guy is handsome, sure, but he’s so young! How skilled can he possibly be? Has our Dragon Country run out of people? Why are they sending up a kid like him?]

The netizens from Country H, on the other hand, were howling with laughter.

[Hahaha, has the Dragon Country run out of people? They’re actually sending up such a young piece of cannon fodder?]

[Aish! Those Dragon Country people are so shameless! Sending up a kid this young! Even when Teacher Pu wins, there’ll be no sense of accomplishment!]
