Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 408 - 363 "Memory"_2

They could handle some minor ailments like headaches and fevers with their meager abilities, without much issue.

As for an as-sterile-as-possible operating room, although it might not be immediately needed, Bai E had already instructed to have it built, and it should be finished by now.

Gilder immediately accepted, "Of course."

This territory was entirely dedicated to serving the master, and all tasks could wait, except for the master’s commands which had to be executed at once.

"Lead the way."

"Yes!"

Stepping forward, Bai E’s gaze briefly swept over the Black Street Guard stationed a bit farther away—those veteran soldiers who had been taken in.

Even if those veterans were artificial humans, no one knew what their ingrained prohibitions would morph into after being tainted by society.

In fact, even though they had been taken in, Bai E still didn’t fully trust them; their feedback about Tiger hadn’t been particularly good.

He hadn’t been to Black Street these past few days, and he still needed to inquire about Tiger’s situation later...

Therefore, in dealing with these veterans, Bai E was somewhat cautious and naturally didn’t want them to know too much about Nova.

So, he said softly, "If there’s nothing else, continue with your patrol. Every night requires vigilance."

At this moment, Xu Ruoguang was exchanging glances and making faces with his close friends, whispering among themselves.

Upon hearing Bai E’s voice, his body jerked as if by reflex, snapping to attention and responding loudly, "Yes! Master!"

Turning around to face the veterans who were also preparing to follow, he ordered sternly, "All units, continue the patrol!"

"Yes! Commander!" the veterans responded in unison, their voices full of vigor.

After the battle with the eternal decayed corpses, while Xu Ruoguang might not yet be fully trusted by them, as a temporary commander he was still considered reliable.

Black Street wasn’t large, and the medical room that had been established was even right in the center of several streets, so they arrived in an instant.

"This is it, master." Gilder gestured with his hand, leading the way.

The white walls emitted a soft glow, which seemed quite out of place in the overall style of Black Street.

In the midst of pervasive darkness, that unblemished whiteness appeared even more glaring.

"Inside, we have the medical equipment we purchased, which should be able to help the master to some extent."

An old piece of equipment, bought secondhand or perhaps more, had cost nearly all of Black Street’s savings. Gilder still remembered the seven beds that came with the package deal... For an unremarkable metal bed, they had charged them a thousand Blackwater coins each; utter beasts!

However, at this moment, his tone was as light as a feather; a competent butler would never let the master feel distressed.

Money can be earned again, but the master’s commands must be completely implemented.

"Good," Bai E said with a smile, nodding his head. His knowledge certainly contained elements that were beyond rational due to Spiritual Energy, and besides the "necessary components" for different situations, he could also adjust the surgical process according to different existing conditions. Having specialized equipment always made things a little easier.

Medical equipment wasn’t essential, but it was better to have it.

"I’ll perform the surgery on her first; you may move about freely now."

Bai E didn’t understand why the players were still following him—the rewards for their tasks had long been settled—so he used this opportunity to send the players on their way.

If they really had something to address, they should have spoken up by now.

"Master..." Gong Yan stepped forward, her eyes fixed on Bai E, asking softly.

"Hmm?"

"I was wondering if there’s any way we could help?"

They had been following all this time for two reasons: curiosity and utilitarianism.

Curiosity was, of course, the desire to "watch the story unfold".

The time players spent in the game could sometimes be very precious, but also very wasteful.

They raced against time when leveling up, but when idle, they could spend entire days just taking in the sights.

The white-haired NPC by the lord’s side is a new face in the organization, and not only is she powerful, but she’s also attractive, seeming to harbor some special affection for the lord.

They instinctively wanted to see the excitement, catching the scent of gossip.

As for the utilitarian aspect…

The game offers a high degree of freedom, and triggering many quests may require initiative from the players.

Following an obviously special NPC with a camera to watch a scene, they might just trigger a related quest.

Compared to the stable rewards of a quest chain, fresh and exciting unfamiliar quests always elicit more excitement among players.

Looking at Gong Yan’s eyes as she made the request, Bai E guessed from the perspective of a player what they were all thinking.

"Not at the moment, I need to perform a minor surgery on her, and I’ll notify you all if there’s a need later," Bai E said.

"Surgery?" Gong Yan’s eyes lit up, "Can I learn it, my lord?"

The lord’s abilities far exceeded her own, and she hadn’t noticed any visible injuries on the young lady, so whatever was happening now surely wasn’t covered by the ’first aid’ she had learned before.

Gong Yan was interested in these medical abilities.

"You learn?" Bai E was taken aback, then smiled warmly, "Of course, you can."

While speaking, he manually added the newly enlightened knowledge into the Faction Shop.

Faction Shop (Level 2) new addition: [Human Transformation Project 1.0 Teaching, Pricing — Basic Instruction: 25 points of faction contribution; Professional Instruction: 40 points of faction contribution; Expert Instruction: 60 points of faction contribution.]

While adding, Bai E explained, trying to convince the players that this was a logical, self-consistent game world, and he definitely hadn’t done any backdoor manipulations, "Considering the different stages of development, the former you were not quite suitable for being exposed to these deeper aspects. I feared you would waste too much energy on things that aren’t currently useful, so I only let you access them now."

"Hmm hmm~" Gong Yanchunchun nodded fervently.

Reasonable!

In past games, there were always players who wanted to start over because they bought or learned the wrong things, and this game could even intelligently help them manage their experience.

Smart! Appropriate!

"I’ll learn!" Experience new tales on novelbuddy

If the lord thought it was the right time to open it up to them, then it meant he approved of their current level and they could take on more new information.

As for the requirement of 60 points of faction contribution... It was a piece of cake for her, currently holding a stock of 330 points of faction contribution.

Bai E nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, then you come in too."

After going through several decontamination procedures, they entered a specially constructed sterile surgery room. Bai E first looked around the room at all the structures, his knowledge-based abilities giving him an unconscious clarity on the practical functions of the related equipment.

Through the observation of the environment and the organization of knowledge, Bai E already had a complete plan in mind.

"First, I’ll do a basic physical examination for you." He pointed toward the direction of the medical examination equipment while he himself went to a corner of the room to change clothes and prepare with more meticulous disinfection.

"Oh~"

Looking at the familiar yet strange arrangements inside the room, Nova’s expression was clearly timid.

The white surgery room triggered some distant, blurry memories.

Especially when Bai E sorted out the instruments and produced a "ting-ling clang-clang" sound, those "remote" memories surged like waves.

The specific images were hazy, but she could vaguely see a tall figure with greying hair pulling off his leather gloves and raising a silver surgical instrument towards her point of view.

What was clearer were the emotions awakening with those memories—

Fear, helplessness, confusion, dread…

Was her body being manipulated and even cut open against the cold touch?

A glimmer of misty light rose from the depths of Nova’s eyes, and those overwhelming emotions engulfed all her mind in an instant.

"What’s wrong?"

A kind smile broke through those images, and a gentle voice rose from not far away, calmly soothing her.
