MTL - After Helping the Protagonist Escape From the Lunatic, I Was Targeted - Chapter 52

On just another normal Monday, the world changed. The universe had reached a threshold humanity didn’t even know existed, and it was time to finally be integrated into the vast multiverse. A world where power is the only thing that one can truly rely on.

Jake, a seemingly average office worker, finds himself thrust into this new world. Into a tutorial filled with dangers and opportunities. In a world that should breed fear and concern, an environment that makes his fellow coworkers falter, Jake instead finds himself thriving.

Perhaps… Jake was born for this kind of world, to begin with.

Hikaru crossed to Misty World with billions of other players. This world is full of monsters and fog.

Hikaru thought he wouldn't be able to survive in this horrible world when he suddenly possessed an SSS-class skill.

[Ding! Maximum Evolution.]

[Ding! Do you want to evolve Succubus into Fallen Angel?]

[Ding! Do you want to evolve Komodo into the Darkness Dragon King?]

[Ding! Do you want to evolve the Wooden Sword into a God Sword?]

…

Hikaru: “In this world, I am the lord.”

【Ding! You have received malicious complaints from patients, and you will be rewarded with system compensation! 】

If you had a bad review compensation system, what kind of person would you choose to be? !

Chen Nan chose to be a good person.

A man who dares to tell the truth.

An upright person.

A man who is not afraid of power.

A man who never compromises.

A person who will never admit to being intimidated in the face of this group of demons and dances!

Those who hold salaries for everyone, can’t let them freeze to death in the wind and snow!

Those who control the water for the common people should not let them indulge in lakes and seas!

For the current struggler, don’t let it drown in the dust!

For the founders of the future, don’t let it go from wide to narrow!

Sad and sighing, if the good cannot end well, can the evil be even worse?

In a turbulent country, I, Chen Nan, would like to observe medical ethics, be clear about right and wrong, and be honest, so that the tragedy will never end!

If I were a doctor, I would be that upright, uncompromising, and upright doctor!
