"Eek! Damn it! I’m leveling up again! I’m leveling up again!"
Looking at his [Basic Medicine] climbing to LV4, [Gynecology Guru Zero Zero Hair] cheered excitedly, directly leaving the patient behind and began sprinting around the tent. He even tripped along the way, and anyone who saw him might have thought he was the one who needed medical attention.
The bodyguard [Swordfish] watched the scene, clenching his fist. "Damn newbie! What did you level up in now?"
This is unfair, this is unfair, damn it, he spent the whole afternoon listening to this group of idiots boasting about leveling up. The experience points they racked up were quicker and easier than him bravely venturing into the Scavenger’s lair.
Moreover, they can determine the accuracy of their diagnosis based on whether their experience increases.
Although healing someone certainly offers less experience than killing someone, medical department players can see dozens, even hundreds of patients in a day, whereas combat players aren’t able to kill dozens in a day without getting caught by the Anti-Terrorism Squad.
And they can’t kill ordinary citizens; the stronger the enemy, the higher the experience. Slaying normal citizens will only result in a loss.
"Ah ha ha ha ha, you’re too kind, too kind." Zero Zero Hair laughed hysterically, not even hearing what Swordfish was saying, thinking he was being congratulated.
However, the joy on his face transformed into regret as he looked at the sun about to descend into the sea.
As a newbie, Zero Zero Hair’s game time is limited to only ten and a half hours daily; the dormitory comfort isn’t sufficient to reach the sixteen-hour limit. Plus, given the time, he also needs to wake up for his morning classes.
Then, Zero Zero Hair walked with a face full of regret and sorrow up to the patient sitting on a bench, watching him being nutty. He tightly grasped the patient’s hands and sincerely said:
"I really want to keep sitting here treating you all, if I could I’d heal every one of you, but... sigh..."
"My work hours are ending, and I genuinely can’t bear to leave you all."
This isn’t about the patients; it’s a treasure trove of mobile experience points! In reality, where can you find so many patients? It’s the medical player’s holy ground for grinding experience points.
The Haitian resident, who initially thought the corporate stooge was going to mock him, slightly opened his mouth, and at a loss for words, watched the doctor express his heartfelt emotions.
"You must come tomorrow; I’ll be waiting for you all. I want to cure each and every one of you."
There were nearly a thousand Haitians here; even if he was bustling, he could only see around a hundred patients a day. Treating a thousand people, several skills are bound to reach Basic 6, and the already sufficiently experienced resident might even reach mastery, passing the cybernetic doctor assessment effortlessly.
But actually, even if he couldn’t, it didn’t matter. With his skill level evident, no player would avoid seeking him for surgery.
The surrounding Haitian patients looked at Zero Zero Hair incredulously.
Haitians are huddled in Taiping Continent without management, barely surviving, only able to band together for sustenance, with Night City Government pretending they don’t exist. When have outsiders ever cared about them ?
These doctors have been tirelessly busy for a full eight hours, from dawn till dusk, without even taking a proper meal, only sipping some water, just to treat a few more patients, and they’ve hardly charged any consultation fees, only asking for a meager amount for medicine. What kind of selfless spirit is this?
The little resentment they had when they heard the doctors were about to leave dissipated instantly, even feeling guilty for having such thoughts in the first place.
"I will...definitely come tomorrow!"
Saying this, the patient trembled while holding Zero Zero Hair’s hand, turned away and sobbed, making Zero Zero Hair think he’d hurt him, quickly letting go.
As medical players got into their vehicles to leave, the Haitians worried about these doctors being attacked, sent several armored vehicles to escort them out of Taiping Continent.
"What do you do outside?"
Inside the ambulance Swordfish asked Zero Zero Hair curiously, this guy previously said he wasn’t a med school student or a hospital physician, so how did he end up on the medical path?
"Are you a gynecologist?"
"Me? Ha ha ha!" Zero Zero Hair laughed heartily three times and said:
"I’m a veterinarian."
Seeing Swordfish’s jaw nearly drop to the floor, he wasn’t embarrassed at all and cheekily said:
"There aren’t vet jobs in the game, I figured vets and human doctors should be similar in the game. Besides, I have a diploma, a proper graduate from Jilin Agricultural University’s Animal Medicine program. People are animals too, so it’s all good."
"Placid, where did you find these ERO doctors?"
Through the skyscraper’s floor-to-ceiling window, Brigitte watched the departing ambulance, along with the dispersing Haitian crowd beneath, feeling a bit displeased.
Her Voodoo Gang had done so much for the Haitians, yet they never received this kind of treatment.
Placid, standing behind her, said, "Nothing but a transaction, my people were watching the whole time, it’s no big deal."
"A transaction... Companies aren’t to be trusted, they must have ulterior motives."
Brigitte didn’t believe this at all. Thɪs chapter is updated by NoveI-Fire.ɴet
"I heard you took a loss at that bar the other day..."
ERO and that bar’s owner are the same person; this wasn’t a secret.
