Chapter 155: Lein's generous gift
"I'm very pleased to hear that, Mr. Darso. Please don't hesitate to ask for help from the government if you need it," Lein said sincerely, showing his support.
Hearing Lein's words, a wide smile spread across Mr. Darso's face. For him, explaining all this to Lein was to gain the approval and support he hoped for. Although only spoken verbally, Lein's words carried far more weight than an official letter signed by the president.
"Hahaha… I'm so glad to hear that, Mr. Lein," Mr. Darso said with overwhelming enthusiasm. "We will certainly need government support for further development," he continued, smiling happily.
After spending considerable time in the treatment area, Lein and Mr. Darso decided to continue their tour of other parts of the hospital. Lein felt very satisfied with what he had seen. The advanced technology, efficient treatment methods, and the care provided to each patient further convinced him that this hospital was among the best in the heavenly realms.
Lein's next exploration was to see the hospital's various supporting facilities, such as advanced surgical machines, drugs still in the research stage, and future development plans. As a specialist doctor and deputy director, Mr. Darso explained everything in great detail, ensuring that Lein understood every aspect clearly.
Until late afternoon, Lein finally finished his tour at Pertiwi Hospital. He bid farewell to Mr. Darso. He felt very pleased that the resources he provided were used to build a hospital with excellent service.
However, before leaving, Lein asked about Dr. Anisa, who had fainted earlier. Mr. Darso contacted his subordinates and informed Lein that Dr. Anisa was on the first floor.
Upon reaching the first floor, Lein saw Dr. Anisa sitting quietly, as if waiting for someone.
Dr. Anisa, who was daydreaming, felt someone watching her from afar. Sure enough, she saw someone she really didn't want to meet at this moment.
"Come on... you can do it, Anisa," she whispered to herself, trying to strengthen her resolve.
She then stood up. With a face that began to flush, she slowly walked towards Lein, who was approaching her.
"What's wrong with you? Just relax," Lein spoke first. He didn't want the girl in front of him to faint again.
"So... sorry, sir... I fainted earlier," Anisa said with a trembling voice, trying her best to articulate each word.
"I wasted your time, Mr. Lein," she continued, rushing to finish her sentence.
Lein observed the girl's entire body language—the way she kept her head down, her trembling voice—making him feel sorry for her. He didn't respond and stood still, giving the girl some silent time.
Anisa also felt that something was wrong. She raised her head slightly and saw Lein's calm gaze. He wasn't angry nor smiling, just like an ordinary young man on the street.
"Um... sorry, sir..."
This time, Anisa was a bit better; she looked into Lein's eyes and bowed properly.
"Haha... why are you so nervous? There's nothing to be afraid of," Lein said casually.
Anisa felt nervous again, but she quickly adapted and said, "Um... it's nothing, sir, I don't know either."
Lein could only shake his head hearing the girl's answer. He didn't press further; he then pulled out a black pouch from his spatial storage ring.
(Black Pouch)
-Silver Badge: 1
- Exp Bottle Tier-5: 100
- Energy Crystals: 100,000
- Gold Chest: 1
"Take this. By using all these items, I hope you won't be nervous when we meet again," Lein said with a small smile, handing the black pouch to Anisa.
Anisa thought it was just an ordinary black pouch. She took it without hesitation and didn't check its contents. She just wanted Lein to leave and let her be alone.
Lein deliberately gave her 100 exp tier-5 bottles and a silver badge. He hoped the girl would level up to level 20 and promote to Tier-2. He hoped she would gain a bit of self-pride and not be so nervous when meeting someone stronger than her.
Not wanting to trouble the girl further, Lein bid her farewell and headed towards the hospital exit, continuing his journey to the Origin laboratory.
"See you, Mr. Lein..."
Behind him, Anisa spoke in a relieved tone as she watched Lein's back as he walked away. She then looked at the black pouch in her hand. Curious, she tried to sense the contents of the pouch.
"What!?" Anisa shouted loudly.
Several people nearby noticed her. A mother nursing her baby not far away on the waiting bench looked at Anisa with a hostile expression.
"Sorry... sorry..."
Anisa realized her foolish act, then shrank in embarrassment. She went to the doctors' lounge to check the contents of the pouch again.
...
With his sharp hearing, Lein actually heard Anisa's surprised scream; he just ignored it. He had expected it, given the girl's shy nature.
A floating island, 200 meters in length, moved at a speed of 10 m/s, traversing the void without obstacles. The island was barren, with only a few defense towers, sturdy wooden fences, and several people standing guard, watching their surroundings attentively.
They looked like a team on a mission. A middle-aged man with a large sword led the team; behind him were two men and two women, helping him monitor the island's surroundings.
"Damn, why is Light Bird Island so hard to find," said a man in gray-black armor. His face was slightly contorted in annoyance at not finding what they were looking for.
"Yeah, someone mentioned in the racial chat that the Light Bird Island would appear in this area every now and then," said a woman with a magic staff, wearing a similar expression.
