Chapter 54 How about I show you a little magic?

"Holy crap! What the hell, what the hell!"

Hu Ping's face was distorted in sheer terror, turning him into a living meme.

As a professional doctor, the sight of a geyser of blood erupting from Wu Bin's neck made his legs turn to jelly!

Dude!

Your platelet count is only 1!

How can you possibly afford to get hurt?!

"Quick! Stop the bleeding!"
"Call an ambulance!"

Two nurses rushed forward in a panic, trying to help Wu Bin stem the flow of blood.

Seeing his son get hit, Cao Jie flew into a blind rage. He grabbed a glass bottle from the table and smashed it directly over Wu Bin's head.

Wu Bin pulled the two nurses behind him and took the blow squarely with his head.

Crash!

The bottle shattered. Wu Bin's skull remained completely intact, but his scalp split wide open.

Fresh blood poured down like a waterfall, streaming all over his face.

The sheer absurdity of the scene left everyone dumbfounded. Even Cao Jie was too terrified to make another move.

Wait a minute, bro.

Isn't your bleeding rate a bit too exaggerated?

It literally looked like someone was dumping a giant two-liter bottle of soda over the top of his head—how could there possibly be so much blood?!

Hu Ping's voice cracked in a panicked shriek as he waved a roll of gauze helplessly, "Stop the bleeding! Someone stop the bleeding!"

The nurses scrambled frantically, trying every method they knew to staunch the flow.

Yet neither the hemostatic bandages nor anything else had the slightest effect!

Wu Bin's blood gushed out in a non-stop torrent, as if it cost him nothing.

Ding.

[Special effect activated — Massive Hemorrhage]
[Under the Massive Hemorrhage status, wound healing difficulty is increased by tenfold, and blood loss volume is increased by tenfold.]

As the massive hemorrhage effect kicked in, Wu Bin's legs went limp, his vision darkened, and he nearly passed out on the spot.

Seeing this, the couple turned pale with fright.

Are you kidding me? I literally just tapped you with a beer bottle, do you have to bleed out like a fountain?!

Cao Jie subconsciously picked up another bottle and smashed it hard against his own head.

It just scraped the skin; it didn't even bleed.

This proved beyond a doubt that there was nothing wrong with his bottle!

"Let's go, hurry."

Realizing that someone might actually die if this kept up, Cao Jie gestured secretly to Liao Sha, signaling her to take their son and run.

However, the moment they tried to move, the production crew's staff surrounded all three of them.

"You think you can just beat someone up and run away? Stand right there and wait for the police!"

Earlier, they had decided not to make a big deal out of it, figuring the kid didn't know any better and adults shouldn't stoop to a child's level.

Who would have thought that while everyone wasn't paying attention, this little brat would actually use a toothpick to stab Wu Bin in the neck?!

What an absolute little monster!

The most fatal part was that single stab had triggered a total hemorrhagic meltdown in Wu Bin!

Look at him now, lying on the floor and spraying blood like a living fountain—it was glaringly obvious he wouldn't last much longer.

The viewers in the livestream chat were equally gripped with anxiety.

"With this much blood loss, is our Brother Wu going to kick the bucket?"
"No way, sure the bleeding looks exaggerated, but with a professional medical team right there, he shouldn't die, right?"
"Wait a minute, this medical team is completely useless. Look at that doctor—he looks like he's about to cry."
"By the way, what does a platelet count of 1 actually mean? Can any knowledgeable folks explain?"
"Let me put it to you this way: a normal person has between 100 and 300, even a dead corpse has a platelet count of 3, and yet our Brother Wu is sitting at a solid 1."
"Holy crap, does that mean Brother Wu is literally a walking corpse?"
"So the dark patches on his body aren't bruises, they're lividity spots?"
"And he actually climbed the Five Great Mountains in five days with a body like this? Damn, what a legend!"
"King of Hell: 6!"

At this moment, Wu Bin, slumped on the ground, was reaching his absolute limit.

His entire body felt freezing cold, as if he had plunged into an icy cave.

What was worse, he had zero strength left. His hands and limbs were completely rubbery, his vision was blurring, and both his sight and hearing were fading fast.

This was not looking good at all!

If he lost consciousness from excessive blood loss, how was he supposed to use his active skills?

Still, he had thirty-five days of invincibility left; surely he could tough it out, right?

Just as Wu Bin thought this, the system prompt rang out in his mind once more.

[You have entered a near-death state.]
[Warning: Bleeding is a special status. While the host is in a deceased state, continuous bleeding will continuously drain prestige points.]

Huh?
Wait, I'm already in a near-death state this fast?
Where's the medical team? Someone do something!

Before Wu Bin could even react, the system had already begun deducting his prestige points.

[Bleeding status: Prestige points -1,000]
[Bleeding status: Prestige points -1,000]

Hiss!

Hold on, System bro.
You're draining a thousand prestige points every single second?
Is there any justice left?
Is there any law!

Wu Bin quickly did the math in his head and felt a sudden pang of chest pain.

At a rate of one thousand prestige points per second...
His [Contempt for Death] skill would only last for fifty minutes!

Gathering his last remaining strength, Wu Bin grabbed Hu Ping's wrist tightly.

"Quick... take me to the hospital..."

Seeing the fierce desire to survive burning in Wu Bin's eyes, Hu Ping nodded heavily.

"Don't worry, student Wu Bin, the ambulance is almost here."

Just as Hu Ping finished speaking, the nurse Fang Jing ran over with her phone and shouted, "Dr. Hu! The hospital just called to say the ambulance is blocked by a traffic accident ahead and can't get through!"

Hu Ping checked the map app and gasped sharply.

The main route connecting them to the hospital was completely jammed solid!

It was a sea of red!

Sweat poured down Hu Ping's face like rain.

What now? What should they do now? There's no time left!

Wu Bin raised a trembling hand.

Hu Ping hurriedly leaned in, his voice choked with emotion, "What is it, student Wu Bin? What do you want to say?"

"Duck... duck blood, I want to eat some duck blood."

Hu Ping: "..."

What kind of time is this, and you're still thinking about traditional restorative remedies like "like cures like"?!

"Don't worry, student Wu Bin! Once you recover, we'll all treat you to a big meal of duck blood hotpot!"

Wu Bin wore a face full of question marks.

What good is eating it after I recover?
I want to eat it right now!
I need to replenish my blood!

Wu Bin wanted to explain.
However, massive blood loss made speaking exceptionally difficult.

The only reason he was still conscious right now was entirely due to his iron-willed determination.

Seeing that a full fifth of his prestige points had already been drained, Wu Bin grew frantic with anxiety.

If you want something done right, do it yourself!

Clenching his teeth, Wu Bin activated a skill.

[Nano-Rescue has been initiated.]
[Hang in there, young man! We will arrive in ten minutes! No matter what, hold on and wait for us.]

It's going to take ten more minutes?!
Terrible review!

Wu Bin cursed inwardly; as expected, you get what you pay for.
Anything redeemed for a mere 100 life coins is completely unreliable!

No, I have to find a way to earn more prestige points and extend my invincibility time.

Wu Bin looked toward the camera lens not far away and used every ounce of his remaining strength to speak.

"Is the online viewer count high right now?"
"Send a rocket, and I'll put on a show for everyone. How about that?"

Everyone: "???"

Are you kidding me, bro? We're at a time like this, and you're still in the mood to pull stunts?!
