This was a world that emphasized looks. If someone ugly was poor, he would not have the right to reproduce.
Moreover, if someone was exceptionally ugly, even if he was rich, he would not be able to find a wife.
Shen Lang was an extremely ugly man just like that!
…
Of course, Shen Lang was not born that ugly!
He was extremely handsome in the past and studied in the top medical university in his country. Since primary school, he had secret admirers, and the girls chased him wildly.
However, in his first year of university, a terrifying accident happened.
When he was conducting an experiment, an explosion happened, and a rather concentrated acid splashed all over his face and half of his chest.
His handsome face was ruined, and he turned from an angel to a devil. He was so ugly that nobody dared to look at him. He was even uglier than Quasimodo of the Notre Dame Cathedral. His face could give others a nightmare.
Shen Lang turned from a man who was loved by everyone to a person who was feared by everyone. No girls dared to look at him for more than two seconds.
…
Since Shen Lang had lost his handsome appearance, he decided to be a noble spirit.
When he graduated with a postgraduate degree, he did not continue pursuing a doctorate degree or continue staying in the affiliated hospital of the university. Instead, he went to the borders which had extremely harsh conditions.
For ten years, he assisted at the borders, saved countless lives, and made myriad achievements. However, there were still no girls who liked him.
He thought that he had not done enough to shine.
Therefore, he decided to become nobler, such that everyone would forget about his ugly appearance. He chose to head to Africa, which was more dangerous and had worse conditions. It was a country that was riddled in constant war, and he stayed in a tented hospital which did not even have an operating theatre.
In that war-ridden African country, he stayed for ten years.
He received many more prizes that were awarded by the United Nations. Every day, he was diagnosing patients, saving lives, and operating people.
He became well-known globally. He was the representative of perseverance, sacrifice, and contribution.
His ugly face was seen in many newspapers and magazines. Many women admired him, but nobody loved him. He was still single at the age of 40.
He became even lonelier when his parents passed away.
He still worked for more than ten hours every day, and saving lives became his routine.
…
At this moment, Shen Lang had been operating for 27 hours, and he moved like a robot.
It had been more than 20 years.
Every day, he was saving lives and contributing. He had barely ever rested, and his body was seemingly made of steel.
The number of operations he had done and the lives he had saved in this more than 20 years of experience was uncountable.
However, the reality was that even though one was noble, it was not a perfect guarantee that one could swoon the heart of women. The female main character in The Hunchback of Notre Dame also looked down on Quasimodo, and Quasimodo could only look at her from afar.
Shen Lang was helping a migrant with amputation surgery. He did not slack off or act carelessly even though he was exasperated.
"Swoosh…"
A swoosh was heard from afar, and the air became chilly.
Shen Lang knew very well that it was the sound of a bomb, and it was flying towards him. However, he was not afraid and did not hide. Instead, he felt relieved.
That was because he had been too tired and lonely for his entire life.
"I am so tired, but I don't want to die with regrets since I have yet to have sex with any woman!"
"If I could live again, I swear, I will live an extremely relaxed life. A life that does not require me to work and one that gives me anything I want."
"If God can give me back my good looks, I swear I will use it to flirt with the most beautiful woman on earth!"
Shen Lang made a vow.
Boom!
The bomb landed on the temporary hospital and exploded beside Shen Lang.
Instantly, his body exploded into pieces. The x-ray machine and his laptop beside him shattered into pieces too.
Then, a whirlpool of light appeared in midair and absorbed everything into it.
