I'll start the next story here.
The hospital where Xu Zhifan worked burned down.
Luckily, he also died along with it, but a space-time turbulence hit just as he died, sending him to an altered world along with the burned-down hospital.
[Welcome to the Portable Hospital]
[Current hospital damage: 99%]
[Use spirit stones to restore the hospital, and you can return to your original world. Keep it up, Doctor Xu!]
Xu Zhifan: ...I don't mind fixing the hospital, but can you tell me why I'm carrying so much weight?
[You brought the hospital with you. What did you expect?]
Crushed under the weight, Xu Zhifan spat out a mouthful of blood. Thanks a lot. This is the first time I've seen a golden finger this heavy.
[Crackle... crackle... Contaminated Zone beginner mode activated. Assigning your guide... Your guide is... crackle! crackle... Beginner mode error. Temporary matching mode activated. Your temporary matched sentinel is Bai Mufeng...]
As an advanced sentinel abandoned by the Central Tower, Bai Mufeng could take on a hundred enemies at once and was astonishingly strong.
But without a guide to soothe him, he suffered from long-term insomnia, his mind on the verge of collapse, and he could die at any moment.
Until one day, he was inexplicably matched with a guide...
Although this guide loved spitting up blood, he miraculously cured Bai Mufeng's insomnia.
Feeling his mind clearer than ever before, Bai Mufeng decided to make good use of this mysterious person.
At first:
Bai Mufeng: With a body like his, he'll be dead soon.
After some time:
Bai Mufeng: ?
Bai Mufeng: Why is he still alive?
Bai Mufeng: Forget it. If he won't die, I'll do my best to treat him.
Later:
Bai Mufeng: ?? Why is he still spitting up blood when I give him so many spirit stones every day?
Xu Zhifan: Why do you come home with such a long face?
Bai Mufeng: Honey, why are you spitting up blood again? It's all my fault. I should've collected more spirit stones. (wailing)
Xu Zhifan: ...It's been this long and you still aren't used to it?? I just spit up blood when I'm under pressure... bleh...
Everyone thought Bai Mufeng had gone mad, taking a guide who spat up blood on missions every day.
Only those he'd healed knew how wonderful Xu Zhifan was.
Later, Xu Zhifan stopped spitting up blood. He said his mission had been successfully completed, then vanished without a trace one day.
Bai Mufeng searched for him day and night. He didn't care if his mind, which had finally been healed, collapsed again.
Not quite right in the head [Sentinel] gong X Literally burdened [Guide] shou
1. A sentinel-and-guide story with a mountain of personal worldbuilding. This time, there are no spirit companions.
2. The shou comes with a blood-spitting debuff, but can save people left and right.
3. The author isn't a doctor, so don't take the medical details too seriously.
4. Main plot plus dungeon arcs.
Theme: Healing the sick and saving the dying, selfless dedication, boundless love.
