Poseidon in Arknights

"You really aren't surprised at all." Seeing that Yuuki didn't seem to have any particular expression, Gavial was a little disappointed. She had thought Yuuki would be more surprised.

"What's so surprising about that?" Xi Yue took out a teapot from her clothes, filled a teacup with tea, and skimmed off the foam.

“I heard from the boss a long time ago that the Xinyi Organization was born on this land because of me.” Xi Yue picked up her teacup and took a sip. “And if we’re talking about Xinyi, you guys can actually be considered one too. I saw the blue feathers in your drawers.”

“Well…” Gavial shrugged. “After all, Miss Yuzuki, your name is really useful. Many villages and mercenaries trust your name. We can’t let this free banner go to waste.”

"Sigh, I suddenly remembered, I came to Rhodes Island to use your flag for medical purposes." Yuuki's expression turned slightly helpless, as if she had suddenly remembered something. "But I haven't even had a chance to use your flag yet, while you seem to have been using mine for quite a while?"

"A great healer for the common people, huh?" Gavial waved his hand. "Just stick on a blue feather, and anyone with medical skills can call themselves a healer. This chess piece is just too easy to manipulate."

“But then again, something interesting is that…” At this point, Gavial suddenly remembered something, “According to our investigation, the Faith Medical Organization is quite interesting. It’s clearly a rather loose organization, but so far, there haven’t been any scandals involving the entire Faith Medical Organization.”

Xi Yue raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean by that?"

“It means exactly what it says~” Gavial shrugged. “There is no negative news or rumors. Any doctor who chooses to wear a blue feather on their head is a legitimate doctor.”

“That sounds even stranger,” Yuuki said, looking at Gavial with an even stranger expression.

“It’s not like there weren’t these kinds of self-organized medical groups before,” Gavial explained to Yuuki. “Because everyone knows how tough it is to be a doctor.”

"So in the past, there were many medical organizations that were spontaneously formed by practitioners, who helped each other and increased each other's influence, but that's where the problem lies."

"Because most of the medical practitioners live in the wilderness, they have very little contact with each other. Most of them hear about each other's deeds and then forget about them, which leads to many people impersonating them."

"The same goes for mercenaries and villagers. They can't tell which one is a real doctor and which one is an imposter. Those who are taken for granted usually scam a medical fee and then run away to a faraway place. They don't care how much they scam or how little they scam. They just do it one by one."

“…” Upon hearing this, Xi Yue understood and said, “Then a problem arose: the doctor’s reputation declined, and the mercenaries began to distrust the doctor again.”

"The imposters are lucky if they get caught on the spot, but those who don't get caught just take the medical fees and go off to enjoy themselves, while the real doctors are caught in another cycle of proving themselves only to be destroyed by others."

"More or less." Gavial nodded. "Then for a long time, no medical organizations appeared, or if they did, they were only in a small area."

"I haven't heard of any national or transnational psychological organizations like those before, except for Miss Yuzuki's medical organization now."

“There wasn’t a single scandal. Everyone was working to build up the reputation of Xinyi, and I never heard of any problems arising anywhere.”

"To be honest, these are not rare problems, but almost impossible."

"Is that so?" Yuzuki nodded. "That's wonderful."

Looking at the smile on Xiyue's face, Jiaweier couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Yes, that's great! The healers of this land finally have a better environment to practice medicine."

"Hello, is this the medical department's rest room?" A weak, listless voice suddenly rang out, sounding as if the person was about to pass out.

"Yes." Yuuki turned to look at the door of the lounge. "May I ask what's the matter?"

——————Rhodes Island Medical Center, Medical Examination Room——————

Warfarin looked at the report in his hand with a strange expression. "Your physiological tolerance and defects are even a bit stronger than yours."

Looking at the report in front of her, Warfarin knew from her experience that someone with such poor physical condition could develop a severe high fever from a simple cold, which could even be fatal.

So Warfarin was very puzzled as to how someone with such physical abilities could cross the wilderness without a scratch and unharmed. When did the wilderness of Terra become so friendly to people?

“Miss Xuyu, I’m sorry, I was just curious. I really wanted to know how you managed to cross the wilderness.”

“I have my own methods,” Xu Yu replied to Warfarin in a somewhat weak voice. “After I revealed my identity as a doctor, everyone’s attitude was quite friendly.”

“And once someone gave me this blue feather.” Xu Yu touched the blue feather stuck to her hair clip. “And after I started wearing this feather, even the fiercest mercenaries treated me very well.”

"Oh." Warfarin glanced at the blue feather hair clip.

Such things are not common. Even Rhodes Island still has a lot of such decorations, after all, Yuuki's chess pieces are really useful.

If Yuuki herself didn't always go to the slums of the mobile city for medical treatment, she would actually be in the same boat, or even enjoy better treatment.

All I can say is that the evening moon's banner is extremely useful in the wilderness, but what about practicing medicine to treat the infected in a mobile city? So what?

A renowned medical professional? If you're willing to join my mobile city, we're happy to open every door of convenience for you; otherwise, there's nothing more to discuss.

What? You want to come here for free medical consultations? Sure, but you need to pay a deposit to ensure that the infected people you treat won't cause trouble. What? Why is it so expensive? Mind your own business. If you don't pay, then you can expect to be harassed.

"By the way," Warfarin stamped the report on his hand, "may I ask you, Miss Xuyu, what are your reasons for wanting to join Rhodes Island?"

"Because I heard..."

——————Rhodes Island Medical Department·Corridor——————

"Hello." Xu Yu pushed open the door and looked into the lounge. "Excuse me, is this the medical department's lounge?"

"Yes, may I ask what's the matter?" A gentle voice sounded in Xuyu's ear. Xuyu looked over in the direction of the voice and turned to see Xiyue with a gentle smile on her face.

"Hello." Xu Yu bowed slightly to Xi Yue. "I am a new doctor, code name Xu Yu. From today onwards, I will be working with you all."

"Oh, look, Xiyue, here we are!" Gavial nudged Xiyue with his elbow. "Hello, Miss Xuyu, I didn't expect you to report for duty so soon."

"Yes." Xu Yu nodded, then asked, "May I ask your names?"

“My name is Gavial.” Gavial raised his hand and waved it at Xuyu, then pointed to Xiyue and Hong beside him, “And his name is Xiyue, and her name is Hong.”

"Hello, Dr. Gavial." Xuyu greeted Gavial as well, then looked at Xiyue beside her, "And Miss Xiu and Miss Hong, good morning."

After a moment's hesitation, Suyu asked, "Miss Yuzuki, are you also a member of the Shin-Yi Organization?"

“Miss Yuuki is indeed a member of the Shin-I organization.” Before Yuuki could say anything, Gavial patted Yuuki’s shoulder with a hint of amusement. “Or rather, Miss Yuuki is Shin-I herself.”

"Really?" Xu Yu's face was full of surprise as she looked at Xi Yue, or rather, at the feathers on Xi Yue's head, and then glanced at Hong, who was eating snacks next to her.

Although she had only heard from others that Miss Xinyi was on Rhodes Island, which is why she agreed to come to Rhodes Island with her after meeting the Rhodes Island operators, she did not expect to meet her so soon.

"Hello, Miss Xuyu."

——————Rhodes Island Doctor's Office——————

"There have been so many people coming lately," the doctor said, looking at the recent report submitted by the HR department. "It seems my talent recruitment plan is indeed working perfectly."

"Doctor, I don't think this is appropriate," Amiya said, placing the coffee beside the Doctor. "Shouldn't we get Miss Yuzuki's permission to do this?"

The Doctor's so-called talent recruitment plan is actually to have Rhodes Island's field agents, when they encounter members of the Faith Doctor organization, to openly or covertly say that Yuuki is Faith Doctor on their Rhodes Island.

If they believe it, then everyone's happy; if they don't, then we can try another method—it's just a matter of a few words.

Of course, it can't all be based on empty words, right? No, we still need to have a lot of people print out brochures about Rhodes Island's medical facilities and resources, and have the operators on field missions take them with them.

"It's alright, it's alright, we didn't use Miss Yuuki's image~" The Doctor waved his hand, "Besides, it's just a small matter, I'll talk to Yuuki about it later~"

"Anyway, I think Miss Yuzuki will agree~"

“I feel,” Amiya said, looking at the Doctor, “that you’re taking advantage of Miss Yuuki’s kind and easygoing nature.”

"Anyway, this is a good thing." The doctor waved the report in his hand at Amiya. "Look how many people have been attracted here."

"And there are so many doctors, isn't that a good thing?" The doctor smiled. "We can increase the effort and let me think of someone else who would be suitable for publicity."

“Sigh, let’s take a look at this first.” Amiya picked up a document from the top of the report. “This is a report requesting cooperation.”

"A request for cooperation?" The doctor took the document. "Chongming Medical Association? Hmm, is that a medical organization from somewhere? The name sounds strange."

Chapter 162: The Current Situation in Iberia

“Never heard of it.” Amiya shook her head. “It seems to be a medical organization from Iberia, but I’ve never heard of it before.”

"Really?" The doctor nodded, then flipped through the document requesting cooperation. After seeing some of the terms, he raised an eyebrow. "Isn't that a bit too generous?"

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Amiya also leaned forward curiously, looking at the terms the Doctor was looking at. "Doctor, is there a problem with this?"

The doctor looked at the contract in his hand with a strange expression. "It's more like a contract of servitude than a contract. Hmm, that doesn't seem right. I don't know how to put it. Anyway, it doesn't look like a normal contract."

"Could it be that they're also in a difficult situation?" Amiya asked after thinking for a moment, "That's why they..."

“I don’t think so.” The doctor shook his head before Amiya could finish speaking, flipping the contract to the front. “Look here, what this provides doesn’t seem like something a struggling medical organization would offer.”

"Hmm..." Amiya looked closely at the listed items, "I can't seem to see anything?"

"What do you think a struggling medical organization would ask us for?" The doctor looked at Amiya and shook his head helplessly. "First, medical supplies; second, manpower; third, medical guidance or medical technology; at the very least, some money, right?"

“But look at these entries. They’re the ones providing us with the raw materials, and look at these exchange rates.” The doctor pointed to the cooperation plans in those entries. “Compared to other places, it’s practically a rip-off. They’re probably only charging the cost price, and it’s not even certain if they’ve broken even.”

“It does seem a bit unreasonable.” Amiya looked at the cooperation agreements and realized something was wrong. It wasn’t like no other company had cooperated with Rhodes Island before.

However, even Amiya could tell from their regulations that they basically treated Rhodes Island as a cheap contract manufacturer.

"So you still need to practice." The doctor continued flipping through the documents, and when he reached the last paragraph, which seemed to have been written by one of their own people, he raised an eyebrow.

To demonstrate our sincerity, we have also sent a messenger with gifts along with this document, as a token of our goodwill.

"Items..." The Doctor put down the file and looked at Amiya beside him, "Besides this, has the reception department received anything else?"

"Wait a moment..." Amiya walked to the file shelf next to her. Generally speaking, Amiya habitually asked the operators to put the files next to the Doctor first, while other accessories would be placed below.

Because these items sent along with the documents would take up a lot of space on the desk, which would significantly reduce the doctor's work efficiency.

Moreover, most of them are not actually important items; they are usually gifts from operators to show their appreciation, which can be opened slowly after the work is completed.

"Got it." Without searching for long, Amiya quickly found the specially marked item under the file rack and pushed the box to the table with some difficulty.

"It looks a bit heavy." Amiya stood up and looked at the box. "I wonder what's inside."

"Why don't we just open it and see?" The doctor handed over a pair of scissors from the table. "I'm curious what kind of gifts such a generous medical organization would send as a token of their appreciation?"

Amiya quickly unpacked the box and carefully lifted the lid, instantly illuminating everyone's faces with a golden light.

The box was filled with pure gold, and the two iron boxes in the corner, judging from the glass tops, seemed to contain...

"Pure Originium?!" The Doctor immediately abandoned his astonishment and excitedly picked up the metal box. "They're really generous."

"Isn't that a bit too generous?" Amiya looked at the metal box with a worried expression. Of course, she wasn't worried about the Doctor getting infected. The metal box had a very high level of security and was clearly a special product designed to store Originium artifacts.

Moreover, the Doctor himself is not afraid of being infected by Originium. What Amiya is worried about is that since the other party is so generous, what kind of past do they expect in return?

"Let me see." The Doctor reluctantly put down the Pure Originium in his hand, walked back to the table, picked up the document, and said, "Hmm, it seems to only mention inviting a few people to come here for exchange and learning?"

"It's too good to be true." The doctor put down the file and looked at the box next to him. "Let's seal it up first. The benefits are too great to be true."

"Mmm." Amiya nodded, then obediently closed the box. "Perhaps we can ask Dr. Kal'tsit?"

"Why?" The Doctor looked at Amiya. "Kal'tsit probably doesn't understand this kind of thing either, and this is really, unbelievably good."

Amiya looked at the Doctor: "I remember Dr. Kal'tsit has been paying attention to things in Iberia recently, so perhaps she knows about this medical organization."

"Is that so?" The Doctor looked at Amiya with some doubt. "How come I didn't know? Well, never mind, in that case, let's go ask."

"If this medical association is indeed acting in good faith, then we do need a generous friend right now."

"Yo, is Miss Yuzuki here~" Just as Yuzuki, Suyu, and Gavial were chatting happily, Nian's energetic voice suddenly rang out.
