If you don't want treatment, get out! This doctor has a terrible temper.

Chapter 169 Michelin in the Sewers

It was noon when we returned to Renxin Pharmacy.

The store is doing business a little too well.

It wasn't because of the flu, but because of the rumors about that "eccentric doctor".

Nowadays, wealthy people tend to flock to the strangest and most unusual things.

Pierre was so busy in the kitchen that he barely had time to breathe.

In that large copper pot, the first batch of "improved" mushrooms sent by Professor Yan were being simmered.

The old man added something, and the whole pharmacy was filled with a peculiar aroma, like a combination of toasted bread and a forest after the rain.

"Boss, you're back!" Su Qing peeked out from behind the counter, holding a calculator in her hand. "The health bureau people came by earlier. They said someone reported us for practicing medicine illegally, and that we have biological weapons here."

"Let them investigate." Wang Minyu took off his mud-covered coat. "If they find out it's a biological weapon, I'll admit defeat. If they find out it's high-grade food, they'll have to give me an award."

He had just sat down when a familiar figure slipped in.

It is Tu Jinshan.

Since being terrified last time, the coal mine owner has lost a lot of weight, but he looks much more energetic. However, his eyes are a bit neurotic, and he keeps looking back while walking.

"Dr. Wang... Dr. Wang!" Tu Jinshan said, carrying a fruit basket full of imported cherries. "I'm here for a follow-up appointment! And... by the way, how's that mine doing lately? Nothing's happened, has it?"

He had obviously heard about the haunting incident involving the demolition team that morning, and his initial reluctance to leave the mine completely turned into relief.

"Great." Wang Minyu picked up a cherry and popped it into his mouth. "We just held a music festival downstairs, and the audience responded enthusiastically."

Tu Jinshan shuddered and didn't dare to respond.

"Mr. Tu, since you're here, why don't you try one of our new dishes?" Wang Minyu called out to the kitchen, "Pierre, bring the soup!"

Pierre came out carrying a delicate white porcelain bowl.

The bowl contained half a bowl of crystal-clear soup, with a transparent, jelly-like substance at the bottom, containing a wisp of purple flocculent material.

"What is this?" Tu Jinshan looked at the thing and instinctively felt danger.

"This is called 'Abyss Gaze'," Pierre explained in an aria-like tone. "It's made from special mushrooms grown 3000 meters underground, slow-cooked at a low temperature for 48 hours to extract pure collagen. It can calm the nerves, nourish the brain, and most importantly—nourish the kidneys."

Upon hearing that it was good for the kidneys, Tu Jinshan's eyes lit up.

Although his kidneys no longer hurt, he always feels weak and unsteady when he walks.

"Can it really replenish nutrients?"

"One bite, and you'll be eighteen again." Wang Minyu's lies are made without any hesitation.

Tu Jinshan picked up the bowl, gritted his teeth, and gulped it down in one go.

It didn't taste as strange as I had imagined. The stuff melted in my mouth, turning into a cool sensation that slid down my throat.

Immediately afterwards, the coolness exploded in my stomach, turning into a warm current that quickly spread to my limbs and bones.

But before he could even offer his praise, a sudden change occurred.

The store's newly upgraded public address system suddenly went off without warning.

No one was operating it.

"Sizzle... sizzle..."

After a loud crackling sound, the familiar, mechanical knocking sounded again.

"Thump. Thump. Thump."

This time, the sound was so clear it was as if it were right next to my ear.

Moreover, with each tap, Tu Jinshan felt the warm current in his stomach throb.

"What's going on?!" Su Qing stared at the computer screen. "Zero, where's the firewall?"

"We can't stop it! This is a physical intrusion!" Zero's voice came from the speaker. "The signal source isn't on the network, it's... inside Boss Tu's stomach!"

Wang Minyu suddenly looked at Tu Jinshan.

Tu Jinshan's belly was visibly heaving, as if a subwoofer was hidden inside.

The "mushroom jelly" that he drank was actually a resonating cavity!

"The one underground wants to speak through your mouth." Wang Minyu understood instantly. These mushrooms were part of that huge biological network; eating them was like swallowing a signal receiver.

Tu Jinshan's face turned a deep purplish-red, and his mouth opened uncontrollably, uttering a sound that wasn't his own: "Give...it...back...to...me..."

His voice was deep and hoarse, carrying an ancient majesty that made the glass in the shop vibrate.

Several patients nearby screamed in fright and tried to run away, but found their legs were too weak to move.

"Give it back to your grandpa!"

Wang Minyu moved. He didn't use needles or medicine.

He rushed straight to the expensive amplifier that had been dismantled into pieces and grabbed the microphone.

"Zero, change the song! Give me maximum volume!"

"Received! Playing track: The square dance anthem 'The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style' - Bass Enhanced Version!"

"The vast horizon is my love!!!"

A tremendous sound erupted from the speakers in the four corners.

This multi-million dollar equipment unleashed its full power at that moment.

The high-frequency suona sound was like a series of sharp swords, instantly piercing through the deep sense of oppression.

Just as the voice inside Tu Jinshan's stomach was about to continue speaking, it was silenced by the overwhelming chorus of "Stay!"

Two frequencies collide violently in the air.

Tu Jinshan felt like a balloon caught between two large speakers, his whole body vibrating.

"Wow--"

He finally couldn't hold back any longer and opened his mouth to spit it out.

A cloud of purple mist spewed from his mouth, twisting and struggling in the air, seemingly trying to coalesce into a human shape.

"Pierre! Fire!" Wang Minyu shouted.

Pierre, who was already prepared, rushed up with a kitchen flamethrower and sprayed the cloud of mist with it.

"Sizzle—"

Under the combined assault of the high temperature and the song "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Trend," the fog let out a defiant scream and completely dissipated.

The music stopped.

The shop was deathly silent, except for the sound of Tu Jinshan retching on the floor.

"This is... the treatment?" a stunned older woman asked timidly.

"Yes." Wang Minyu put down the microphone, straightened his slightly disheveled collar, and said calmly, "This is called 'Sonic Wave Vibration Detoxification Method.' You saw that black mist just now, right? That's the dampness and bad luck in your body. Once it's expelled, everything will be fine."

Tu Jinshan raised his head. Although he had vomited violently, he was surprised to find that his previously heavy kidneys suddenly felt incredibly light. The ever-present fear had actually been expelled with the black smoke.

"Amazing...amazing..." Tu Jinshan gave a thumbs up. "Dr. Wang, this song...is awesome!"

Wang Minyu looked at the puddle of water on the ground with a slightly cold gaze.

That last move wasn't just a detox, it was a confrontation.

The thing underground was no longer content with just sending cassette tapes; it began to infiltrate through the food chain.

It seems that simply growing mushrooms is no longer enough.

"Su Qing, calculate today's sales figures." Wang Minyu turned around, looking at the Changxiang City map on the wall. "We need to buy some new equipment. Since it wants to go big, let's prepare a real 'feast' for it."

On the map, the seven red valve markers are faintly glowing hot.
