He was kept busy till late into the night.

In the morning of the subsequent day, while he was at his cottage wondering how to complete the system's assigned mission, Wang Yao received an unexpected call from Zhou Xiong. Wang Yao was worried that something had happened to Kang and quickly picked up the phone. To his happy surprise, Zhou Xiong called him to inform him that Kang had slept particularly well during the past few days. In fact, he slept through the entire night. To this, Zhou Xiong called to express his gratitude. Hearing his excited voice, it was easy to imagine Zhou Xiong's beaming face.

"Glad that the medicine was effective." At the other end of the phone, Wang Yao was also smiling.

The phone call ended and Wang Yao decided to make a trip down to Lianshan County to take a look at Kang. He took Zhou Wukang's pulse. The improved pulse condition showed that the medication he prescribed was the right one. At this rate, with a little more time for recovery, he was on track to treat Kang's arm.

"Pretty good; he's recovering nicely. In no time at all, I can start treatment of his arm," Wang Yao told Zhou Xiong upon completing his examination.

"That's great!"

At noon, Wang Yao intended to return home, however he received an unexpected invitation from Manager Li. Since he diagnosed Manager Li last time and alerted him of his health issue, this allowed for his timely treatment at the hospital and prevented a potentially painful operation. Manager Li had called him more than once to invite Wang Yao for a meal but Wang Yao had always declined. This time, he called again upon hearing that Wang Yao was in Lianshan County; he insisted on treating him to lunch. Wang Yao had no choice but to accept his invitation.

The full name of Manager Li was Li Maoshuang. He chose a nondescript looking hotel, but when they entered it, it was, altogether, a different world. The interior was decorated in the style of Jiangnan elegance.

"Today, it's just the two of us. I'm so grateful to you," Li Maoshuang said as soon as he saw him.

"You are too formal. How're you feeling?"

"Much better," Li Maoshuang replied. "Today, we shall not drink alcohol. Let's have tea."

"Okay, let's have tea then," Wang Yao said and smiled.

"This trip to the hospital was a wake-up call for me—if I didn't do a check-up, I wouldn't have known. Once I knew, I was shocked. My whole body had all sorts of problems. When I received the health check report, I was thinking the money I've earned so far was more than enough to cover it. Now that my body has become like this, even if I had all the money in the world, what good would it be if I'm not around to spend it? From then on, I decided to change myself and hence took the first step to quit smoking and drinking," said Li Maoshuang.

"I'm glad you have thought about all this," Wang Yao said after hearing him.

Numerous people knew they had problems with their health and that they needed to change their habits and lifestyle, but many were unable to do so. The ones who did change themselves had higher likelihoods of improving their health towards a positive direction.

The dishes were served shortly; they were mainly light on taste. Both of them chatted while eating.

"I never knew you had medical skills, did you study medicine?"

"No, this is self-learned," Wang Yao replied, smiling.

"Impressive! I admire you!" Li Maoshuang gave a thumbs-up.

The two of them used tea as a replacement for liquor as a social lubricant, and happily chatted away. It helped that Li Maoshuang was also a good conversationalist. Finally, Wang Yao took his pulse and the conclusion was that there was a marked improvement.
