Chapter 111: Back Pain

"Hey, what does it say?" people waiting in line for the volunteers to arrive asked the people in the front.

"I— I think you should read it yourself," the people in the front said.

"What is it?" the people walked forward to read.

-Ning (Volunteer) & Massage Expert-

"What?"

"Massage in the physician's guild?"

"Is this volunteer a little... umm... you know, in his head?"

People started wondering just what the hell was going on in here. They even started wondering if this was a prank.

"Actually, my back has been hurting for a while now, I will go and see what it is all about," one man said in the crowd.

"What? Are you stupid? If you go back to take your volunteer coupons, you will have to go all the way back of the line. Don't you want to get what you came here fixed first?" another person.

"Actually, I came for my back pain. If it's solved then I won't have to get another volunteer coupon at all," the man said.

"Oh, if that's the case then go ahead. Take the risk for all of us," the other person said.

The man with back pain slowly went ahead and opened the door to the volunteer's room.

Ning was waiting for the first person to arrive. He had already set up the bed he bought from the furniture store this morning and was ready for his first patient or customer.

Suddenly, the door opened. Ning quickly turned his head to see a man entering the room. 'Finally, someone is here,' he thought.

"What can I help you with?" Ning asked.

"Um... I saw the massage thing back there, and my back has been hurting for quite a while, so I thought... uhh," the man said.

"Ah, yes. I do massages. Please lie down here on the bed," Ning said as he showed the man the new bed he had bought.

The man nervously walked up to the bed and stopped, turning around one last time before asking, "Do I need to... um, take off my clothes?" he couldn't hide his nervousness at all.

"Your wish," Ning said with a smile.

The man decided to take off his robe and showed the upper half of his body, before laying on the bed on his stomach.

Ning walked up to the man while flexing his fingers and put all of his fingers on the man's back before asking, "Are you ready?"

"Mmm," the man replied in confirmation.

Ning spoke nothing else and started his technique, then 10 Finger Heavenly Massage technique. This was a technique he bought from the system for 450 Million energy, so it was one of the best massage techniques available to him right now.

Five fingers on the right hand and five fingers on the left hand all flew out and hit the man all over his back in specific spots at a specific amount of force.

There were never light enough to do nothing but were also never strong enough to hurt. The finger strength was perfect.

"Awww...." The man moaned in pleasure as all the pain and fatigue he was feeling up to now melted just as snowflakes melted in the heat of the summer.

The man felt so good that he wanted to just fall asleep right now. This kept on going for a few minutes, and after 5 minutes Ning stopped.

"Hmm, doctor, What happened?" the man asked lazily.

"The treatment is over. Please check if you still have that pain in your back," Ning asked.

"Hmm... Oh my god, it's gone. Haha, the pain is gone," the man cried out in happiness.

"It seems you have been healed. May I ask a rating on the volunteer coupons?" Ning asked.

"S-Sure, here. 5 points for sure. You are an amazing doctor," the man said in excitement.

"Haha, thank you for that," Ning said with an amicable smile. On the inside, he was giddy at getting a 5 point so easily.

"I will come tomorrow too, Doctor," the man said and left.

"Sure come aga— Wait tomorrow? But I just healed you?" Ning said but the man had already left.

Outside

The man walked out with a straight posture and a big smile on his face.

"Hey brother, wait wait wait, come here," someone called him.

"Oh, it's you. What's up?" the man asked.

"Where are you going? To get another coupon?" the other man asked.

"What? No, I'm going home. I'm done for the day," the man said.

"What? What about your back pain then?" the other man asked.

"Haha, it's fully healed. You should go to that volunteer too if you have some physical pain. His massages are honestly out of this world," the man said and left.

"Is... he joking or telling the truth?" the man didn't understand. Still, he wasn't going to take a risk and go to an unknown volunteer.

Rosor was one of the most popular volunteers right now and had helped hundreds if not thousands of people. He was the one most people lined up for because they knew that if they went to him, they would definitely be healed.

So, the man was lining up for Rosor as well. He looked ahead at the line and saw what would essentially be the end of the day. Even when he came so early in the morning, his turn would come late at night.

He looked at Ning's open queue and wondered if he should go there as well. His problem was his knees hurting, which wasn't that worse than the previous man, so he deliberated.

"No, I'm already here. I will stay for Doctor Rosor," he thought and stayed in the line. He waited for the entire day for his turn, but in the end, he was missed by a few people.

If he had come early, he could've made it. 'Sigh, tomorrow for sure,' he thought and went home.

Early morning, he came back once more and got in line. This time he was a little late, and he definitely wouldn't make it.
