Chapter 1 Emergency Operation
“Zachary, why are you still asleep? Get up now!”
An urgent voice was heard, and Zachary Ching felt someone kick the bench that he was lying on. He opened his eyes in a daze and sat up from the bench in the lobby of the Rutherford Hospital in Lanesville.
Looking at the white lights and the walls around him, and hearing the hustle of footsteps walking past him hurriedly, Zachary’s head felt dizzy. His usual bright eyes were clouded as he murmured, “What’s going on here? What’s this place? This…”
A nurse in a white uniform looked at Zachary with disdain as he was trying to figure out the situation. She shouted at him angrily, “There’s a seriously injured patient. Get up now!”
Then, the nurse muttered to herself, “He’s just a poor intern. He wouldn’t have been called up in the wee hours if he hadn’t offended Dr. Tse, and we wouldn’t have to be on the night shift with him.”
Zachary stood up and staggered as he followed behind her. He ignored the mocking tone of the nurse. His mind was boggled with two conflicting thoughts, which made him feel even dizzier. Although Zachary’s brain was still in a mush, he finally figured out what was going on.

After consuming the herb, he found that his body and mind had been greatly enhanced, and his life expectancy had increased as well.
