Gao Zhixiang's new offer made many people gasp in hushed astonishment.

Although housing prices in Moon City were much lower than in bustling metropolises like Rongcheng City or Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, a single apartment would still cost seven or eight hundred thousand. Now, they had the chance to buy a home in the city center for half that price, or even less. How could that not be incredibly enticing?!

At that moment, countless people were roaring at Zhao Yuan in their minds, 'Say yes! Hurry up and say yes! An opportunity this good won't come around a second time!'

However, Zhao Yuan's face showed no surprise, only a wry smile.

"Teacher Gao..."

The doctors and nurses present were all much older than him, so he had decided to address them all uniformly as "teacher" out of respect.

However, the words had barely left his mouth before he was cut off, unable to even state his opinion.

"Zhao Yuan, don't be so quick to agree! Is it just staff housing? We have that too! If you're willing to come to our City Second Hospital, anything Old Gao and Old Hu can give you, we can give you too! And we guarantee our offer will be better than theirs!"

Well now. Likely not wanting Hu Bin and Gao Zhixiang to steal the spotlight, people from Moon City's Second Hospital also stood up and extended an invitation to Zhao Yuan.

Following that, several other hospitals joined the bidding war. At this moment, the authoritative experts, deans, and directors from these hospitals completely lost their usual composure. They were glaring, slamming tables, and cursing—they were just short of rolling up their sleeves for an all-out brawl!

Their desire to recruit Zhao Yuan wasn't a whim; it was a calculated decision.

First, from Zhao Yuan's performance today and his past 'battle records', everyone clearly recognized that despite his youth, he possessed extremely superb medical skills! Seriously, someone who could run circles around Kobayashi Haruo and take down the Jinling Zhao Family had to be a medical prodigy!

To recruit such a talent into their hospitals, no price was too high!

Second, they were eyeing Zhao Yuan's ability to publish articles! Just listen to what everyone was saying earlier. Zhao Yuan could even get an exam paper published in the *Chinese Medicine* journal. If he were to seriously write a few papers or produce some academic reports, wouldn't he soar to the heavens? If, by some chance, those papers and reports went international and made a global impact, their hospital would become famous right along with him!

Moreover, according to the 'rumors' they had gathered from various channels, Zhao Yuan had an intricate connection with the Great God of Witch Doctor who had recently caused a huge stir in the medical world. It was highly likely he was the Great God of Witch Doctor's apprentice!

If that were true, then after recruiting Zhao Yuan, if they could get in touch with the Great God of Witch Doctor through him... they wouldn't dream of hiring the Great God of Witch Doctor to work full-time. But if they could just get him to hold a clinic for a few days or give a lecture to the staff, they would have hit the jackpot!

It was precisely because of these thoughts that Hu Bin, Gao Zhixiang, and the others were disregarding their status and competing so fiercely!

Zhao Yuan called out several times, but the emotional, arguing crowd paid him no mind. Left with no choice, he sank his Qi into his Dantian and roared, "Everyone, be quiet!"

The roar was as deafening as a clap of thunder, instantly stunning Hu Bin, Gao Zhixiang, and the others into silence.

The room instantly went from cacophony to silence. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

"Stop arguing. Please listen to me first."

Zhao Yuan glanced at Hu Bin, Gao Zhixiang, and the others, then said, "First, I must thank all of you esteemed teachers for your generous offers. I never expected my meager skills to be valued so highly by you all; I'm truly flattered. But I must remind you, I am only a university freshman. I haven't graduated, let alone qualified for a Physician's license. Even if I wanted to work at your hospitals, I'm not qualified."

Hearing this, the crowd vying for Zhao Yuan was stunned. Then, one by one, their expressions grew stranger than the last. Although they held their tongues, they were all grumbling inwardly.

'Fuck, how did we forget about that?'

'All I could think about was how this kid's clinical skills are amazing and his theoretical knowledge is incredible, but I completely forgot he's still just a freshman... A blunder, a total blunder!'

'Who would have thought someone this incredible was still a freshman? All you can say is, Zhao Yuan is just monstrously talented!'

Hu Bin was also disappointed, but his eyes darted for a moment, and he quickly came up with another idea. "No problem. We can sign a contract first. While you're in university, our hospital will cover all your tuition, fees, and living expenses. The moment you graduate, you come work for us. What do you think of my proposal?"

When Gao Zhixiang and the others heard this, they all thought it was a great idea. Zhao Yuan's skills were undeniable; sponsoring his education was completely worth it. They all chimed in, "We can do that too!" "We won't just cover tuition, fees, and living expenses, we'll give you an extra monthly salary!" "Come to our hospital! We guarantee our offer will be better than theirs!"

Seeing that the group was about to start arguing again, Zhao Yuan quickly said, "Stop! Everyone, stop! Listen to me!"

Hu Bin, Gao Zhixiang, and the others were respectful enough to immediately fall silent. They stared at Zhao Yuan with a hint of nervousness, awaiting his decision.

"Thank you for your generous offers, esteemed teachers, but I haven't considered working in a hospital yet. So, I'm very sorry, but I must apologize and decline!"

Zhao Yuan's refusal left everyone stunned and in disbelief.

'He could refuse an offer this good? What the hell is he thinking?'

How could they know that Zhao Yuan was a True Dragon? Why would he let himself be trapped in the shallow waters of some hospital?

Hu Bin, Gao Zhixiang, and the others wanted to persuade him further, but they soon discovered that although Zhao Yuan was polite, his stance was absolutely firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

Helpless, they could only sigh and give up on recruiting Zhao Yuan. Perhaps years later, when they recall this experience, they would think of themselves as having been foolish and bold. But for now, all they felt was regret.

"I'm leaving now. I'll leave the rest to you, esteemed teachers!" Zhao Yuan bid farewell to the group and walked out of the courtyard. Just as he was about to get on his motorcycle and leave, the doctors and nurses who had been sent to notify the villagers of Xiaqiao Village ran back, panting for breath.

Before they even entered the courtyard, they started shouting, "This is bad! Something's happened!"

Hu Bin and the others rushed out and asked, "What happened?"

Zhao Yuan, who had already started his motorcycle, paused before twisting the throttle, wanting to see what was going on.

The doctors and nurses gasped out, "We went to notify the sick villagers of Xiaqiao Village, only to find they've hired a Mage! He's performing a ritual on the village's sunning ground. The villagers don't believe our diagnosis at all! They refuse to accept our treatment anymore and will only let that Mage perform an exorcism for them..."
