The old man's son's expression changed when he heard that. "Dad, you can't say that!"
"What does it matter? I know my own body. I don't have much time left," the old man said, tears slowly filling his eyes.
The old man's son didn't know what to say. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and said eagerly, "Dad, just now a miracle doctor saved you from the gates of death."
Speaking of this, the old man also looked puzzled. Yes, he knew his own body. When his illness struck, he felt like he was going to die.
It was truly astonishing to him that he had awakened.
"Who saved me?" the old man asked.
"I don't know, but it was a girl. You were startled by that black dog, and the dog was agitated too. The girl pricked the dog with a few needles, and it calmed down."
Then, the old man's son explained everything that had happened to the old man.
The old man fell silent for a moment, his heart filled with excitement.
No matter how many large hospitals he had been to, they couldn't cure his illness. But now, his son told him that a young girl had saved him.
"We must find her! We need to express our gratitude! And you know what? After receiving first aid, I feel like my body has improved a lot."
"If we can find that miracle doctor, apart from expressing our gratitude, we should also see if she can treat my illness. If she can, it would be fantastic. If not, there's no need to be too upset."
His illness was already in an advanced stage, with one foot in the grave. If he could be treated, it would be a joyous occasion. If not, he had no complaints.
"Just now, when I brought you into the car, I heard people around saying that the girl runs a free clinic stall in the town. We can start looking for her there. In the next few days, I'll have my wife go to the market in town and gather information."
"Alright, alright." The old man went home with his son, feeling satisfied.
After saving the old man, Bai Jiang's mind suddenly began a countdown.
[Mission progress: 99%. One more patient remains. Time remaining: 1 minute. Space is about to collapse.]
One minute left. Where could she find another patient?
Bai Jiang was taken aback. What should she do with only one minute left?
In her panic, she even shouted, asking if there were any patients.
People gathered around, but they were all patients with no ailments. Bai Jiang felt desperate.
[10 seconds countdown]
[9]
[8]
[7]
...
Until the last two seconds, Bai Jiang didn't know what to do, her mind went blank.
What would happen to the baby's illness if there was no Spirit Spring Water?
Although Bai Zhen's genetic defect could not be said to have been completely cured, her body had become stronger and healthier with the help of the Spirit Spring Water.
Without the Spirit Spring Water, Bai Zhen's condition could become uncertain.
As the countdown reached the final second, Bai Jiang was on the verge of collapse, her mind filled with thoughts about Bai Zhen's future.

[Congratulations, host, the mission of rescuing 150 patients has been completed. Please claim your reward.]
What?
Bai Jiang was stunned for a moment, then a wave of immense joy swept over her. She had completed the mission!
But wait, weren't there only 149 people?
"System, did I treat 150 patients?" Bai Jiang asked.
The system remained silent for a moment and then proactively explained to Bai Jiang, "The mission was to treat 150 patients, and patients don't necessarily have to be human."
As soon as it said that, Bai Jiang immediately understood. She had saved patients, and patients didn't have to be just humans, the black dog was one of them. Bai Jiang let out a sigh of relief.
The space was saved, and so was the Spirit Spring Water.
"System, can't you stop using the collapse of the space as a threat? Can't you just give a normal mission with a normal reward or punishment? If the space collapses, you're done too, right?"
Bai Jiang said this with a hint of annoyance. If it weren't for the black dog, she probably wouldn't have been able to save the space, and then Bai Zhen's health wouldn't have improved either.
The system didn't respond, but Bai Jiang could sense that if the system had a human form, it would roll its eyes at her right then and there.
After a while, the mechanical voice of the system resounded in Bai Jiang's mind again.
[The host's reward has been distributed to the space. Please claim it promptly.]
[Additionally, a main mission has been triggered. The host is required to treat 1,000 patients within 150 days. Upon completion of the mission, generous rewards will be granted. If the mission fails, the space will collapse.]
