NOVPUBChapter 97: Chapter 96 Injection Begins!
Chapter 97 -96 Injection Begins!
“Miss Jenny knows how to do this too?” Chaoyang murmured in surprise from the sidelines.
After all, she looked like a petite girl.
“You shouldn’t underestimate her,” Judy said with a smile, “you can’t be a doctor without some strength. If she hadn’t stayed with Yeni, she would definitely make a fine adventurer.”
Having completed the skin test, Jenny breathed a sigh of relief. She removed her mask and waved to the surrounding forlorn sisters, “Everyone, come over and take a look, this step is quite important. Mr. Zhang… please explain it to everyone.”
“Um…” Zhang Zhiyuan also walked into the center and began to explain the various reactions after the penicillin skin test, as well as how to determine whether the next stage of injection could proceed.
“If all the people here were NPCs, that would be a bit too unbelievable,” Cui Zhen’en exclaimed from a corner of the hall, “I’m starting to believe this is a real world…”
“So you still had your doubts when you came in?” Xue Quan looked with interest at the “public medical teaching” before him, “The state would never joke about such a thing.”
“That’s why I wanted to see it with my own eyes,” she said with a sense of reflection, “Just a few days ago I thought life was bleak, that what I had learned was nothing but a joke. But now I understand… what I learned is not a joke, and neither am I. It’s all because the universe is so vast that it scares people from thinking too deeply, making them blind themselves.”
“An interesting thought.”
“What about you? You seem quite composed ever since you got in touch with this world.”
“That’s not quite true, I was as shocked as you at the beginning, and I understand why they kept silent until we reached the Defense Center, without telling me a word. But unlike you, I don’t think so much. No matter how unbelievable the place is, it doesn’t make much difference to me.”
“Really?” Cui Zhen’en looked at him surprisedly, “What does Paradise World mean to you then?”
“It’s an uncharted land, the New World of a new era,” Xue Quan paused, “But this time, we will be the pioneers.”
…
“The skin test shows no abnormalities!”
“Same here, no swelling or enlargement at the injection site!”
Half an hour later, the nuns reported their observations one after the other.
Afterward, it was the most critical stage of the treatment, and slowly, the atmosphere at the scene became more tense. Whether it was the chosen performers or the learners watching around the great hall, everyone couldn’t help but slow their breathing.
“Then… let’s start the intravenous infusion.”
Jenny looked around the circle and finally spoke.
Although she had not directly asked Mr. Zhao and Judy, she wasn’t a fool. Either renovating the church or coming up with such a pile of things in a short period of time would require a vast sum of money, a sum beyond what an ordinary person could earn in a lifetime. She didn’t know how much effort and financial resources the Divine Envoy had invested in this plea, but she knew it was a debt she would never be able to repay.
But more than the cost, she feared failure—afraid that the hard-won opportunity might fall through, and afraid of the disappointed looks from her sisters after their initial joy.
At that moment, someone handed over a bottle of medicine. “Watch carefully before you act, and don’t be afraid of making mistakes. Even if you do, it’s just a matter of trying again.”
Jenny looked up and saw Mr. Zhang’s affirming gaze.
He did not choose to watch from the sidelines but stood directly in the center of the great hall.
The stiffness in her hands began to fade, and she nodded, picked up a needle with a rubber tube attached, plugged it into the prepared bottle’s cork, and then fitted the other end of the tube onto the needle as well.
Before the actual operation, she had practiced this entire process until it was second nature—tying the arm, disinfecting the skin, inserting the needle, opening the drip tube clamp, and allowing the medicine to enter the patient’s body. The intravenous infusion was theoretically simpler than the skin test injection, but when she actually did it, she found the situation much more complicated than she had imagined.
For instance, the bodies used for practice didn’t move, the purple veins were always swollen and very prominent, but the patient she was in charge of, even with the arm tied up, had veins as thin as threads, making it difficult to insert the needle.
No matter what, with so many sisters watching, she couldn’t show any weakness, otherwise, others would be even more nervous.
Just as Mr. Zhang had said, if it was wrong, she could try again.
Jenny steeled her heart and jabbed the needle into the vein as thin as an earthworm!
The patient’s body shivered, but no blood surged through the tube.
She immediately withdrew the needle, changed the angle, and jabbed again!
“The blood is coming out!”
The assistant shouted excitedly, much happier than when she had cried out about the blood during the skin test.
Jenny also let out a sigh of relief, and after stabilizing the needle, she carefully released the drip clamp; as the medication poured into the tube, the blood was quickly pushed back.
“Did it succeed?” she couldn’t help but look towards Mr. Zhang.
The latter nodded approvingly, “Yes, go help the others.”
“Yes!” Jenny revealed a delighted smile.
After being busy for nearly twenty minutes, all the injection work was finally declared complete. Since it was the first time administering antibiotics, they were given in very cautious doses, and the medication time was extended to two hours—of course, all these plans had been made by Tyler and Qianyuan Mingzi while commissioning experts on Earth.
Jenny took off her cap, the tips of her hair completely soaked with sweat.
“Mr. Zhao, is all we can do now just wait?”
“That’s correct, you should go take a nap if you’re feeling tired,” Chaoyang patted her shoulder. “This kind of medication works very fast, especially for those using it for the first time. If we’re lucky, we should see the effects by tomorrow morning.”
“So, are you saying that waiting one night will be enough?” Jenny clenched her fist, “Then I will wait! Staying up all night is nothing for us sisters, especially on such an important night!”
“Don’t try to persuade her, let her keep watch in the great hall,” Judy interjected. “I wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight either.”
“Alright then, I wish you all good luck and will take my leave,” Chaoyang waved his hand and headed for the basement while issuing a fast-forward notice to all the players.
If there was no need for the task to be carried out through the night, detaching the players’ consciousness from their bodies and “freezing” them was the most economical way to save wishing power, and it also physically reduced the chances of them running around at night.
Especially Anthony Chekhov.
He had been behaving recently only because he could surreptitiously take kickbacks in business negotiations. He is now the wealthiest among all players; given any opportunity, he indulges in pleasure houses, tossing coins into women’s bodices.
Chaoyang didn’t object to players having personal preferences, but such activities should be a reward, not the norm. If gratification became too easy to obtain, the players might also grow weary one day.
“Such composure befits the Divine Envoy,” Dane remarked with admiration. “Perhaps for the Paradise Master, the outcome has already been revealed.”
“If this medicine called penicillin does work, it would certainly be the most sensational news in Magnificent Castle in the last five years,” Judy murmured. “But I have a bad feeling… Would those major corporations really let the Gate of Destiny take what belongs to them?”
“They probably won’t, but even if they can’t stop us, they’re bound to throw a spanner in the works.”
“Yet you speak so lightly of it?” Judy said discontentedly.
“What else can we do, don’t forget who stands behind the Gate of Destiny,” Dane laughed casually. “In fact, I look forward to them doing just that… because then people will realize that this Magnificent Castle is no longer the Magnificent Castle of the past.”
