The person who arrived was the blond young man from the fountain square before, named Jack.

He had personally witnessed Zheng Lin concoct a green potion in the tent, which saved Bob, who was foaming at the mouth and almost died.

"Hey Jack, what's up? Who the hell's been poisoned again?"

Mike was furious, but upon hearing that someone had been poisoned, he still asked anxiously.

"It's Kusen. He saw you making antidotes from snake venom sacs at the camp before, and he was thinking of catching some snakes to sell to you to earn some money for cigarettes and alcohol."

Jack ran up to the two of them, panting heavily, and put his hands on his knees.

Already weak and thin, he now looked like a willow in the wind, ready to be blown to the ground by a stronger gust of wind.

"So he really went to catch poisonous snakes?"

Lynn patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to speak slowly.

"Yes, that guy went to Jefferson Park to catch snakes, but instead got bitten by some kind of venomous snake. Now his face is swollen like a basketball and he's lying on the ground, unconscious. So they all told me to come and get you right away!"

"Ugh, what kind of mess is this? They're really risking their lives for money!"

Lynn complained angrily, saying that she had thought about going to Chinatown to see if there were any snakes for sale there to increase her snake stock after she settled down in her rented apartment.

Who would have thought that someone would be so eager to catch a snake and end up getting poisoned by it.

[Troll Kusen has been addicted to tobacco for years, but he's been destitute for almost a week without it, so he's taken a desperate gamble.]

You will receive a reward for removing the toxins from his body.

At this moment, the system text reappeared in Lynn's eyes. Well, since there is a system reward, I have to do this whether I want to or not.

You mustered your strength, shook your head to clear your mind of the danger Carlos Bon had just threatened, and followed Jack, who had caught his breath, toward the fountain square.

As expected of something produced by the system, less than 10 seconds after taking a bottle of antidote, the swelling in Cousin's face, which was swollen like a basketball, quickly subsided. Even his tightly closed eyes slowly opened and were full of energy.

"Wow, cool! Lynn, you're practically a miracle doctor, like Heisenberg... you know what I mean, the opposite of him, a miracle doctor!"

Jack was Coulson's good friend, and the two shared a tent. When Coulson woke up, he was lying helplessly on the ground, almost dying, which made Jack feel extremely desperate.

One dose of the medicine pulled the man back from the brink of death in just 10 seconds. How could he not exclaim that it was a miracle?

"No way, is this young man really that amazing? He managed to save someone bitten by a viper like that?"

A series of exclamations came from the surrounding area, and everyone looked at Lynn with shock, even a little bit of awe and admiration.

"Hey buddy, you saved my life, please accept this $300!"

Not long after, Kusen fully regained consciousness. The chubby guy, who looked just like Sam from Game of Thrones, quickly pulled out a bunch of loose green bills from his pocket and handed them to Lynn.

At Western University, there's no such thing as humility being a virtue, especially since Lynn had indeed saved his life. Therefore, the latter naturally accepted the gratitude, while the system's text appeared before his eyes:

[You saved a forest troll from poisoning; First Aid bonus +10%, Experience bonus +10.]

You just checked your current personal attributes: First Aid Lv1, 20%, Character Level Lv1, Experience 62/100. You are 38 points away from leveling up. I wonder if you will be able to gain new job skills after leveling up?

Lynn's eyes suddenly lit up!

Since you can earn character experience points no matter what system-defined tasks you do, can you take the initiative to do them yourself?

Quickly grind enough experience points to level up and see if you can truly acquire the warlock's class skills.

He glanced at his personal panel.

Class: Warlock, Level 1, Talents: Not Selected

Stamina: 3/3

Intelligence: 3/4

Spirit: 3/5

Agility: 1/2

Strength: 1/2

HP: 30/30

Magic: 20/40

Experience points: 62/100

Skills: Excellent Eloquence (Level 1, 20%), Weakness Curse (Level 1, 10%), First Aid (Level 1, 20%), Unrestricted Combat (Level 1, 80%), Tight End Tactical Awareness (Level 1, 70%)

Craftable item: Antidote (1 bottles remaining)

Status: Weakly revived, moderately hungry

"Guys, guys!"

Lynn clapped her hands, attracting the attention of everyone around her.

"If you know I can make antidotes, please help me spread the word to everyone I know in the neighborhood. Anyone who's been poisoned can come to me, Lynn. Each antidote costs $300, and I'll give him a $50 refund as a thank you!"

"We also buy venom glands from snakes, toads, and large spiders, $100 each."

After all, although he has so many skills, the only one that can be used to make money is the antidote potion. On the contrary, as a warlock, his main profession is only a weakening curse skill, which makes him unable to fight at all. It's really frustrating.

That's why he wanted to quickly gain experience and level up, hoping to get the real warlock skills.

"Hey, I can introduce you to two clients!"

Just as the Fountain Gang members went up, Lily, the middle-aged woman in her fifties with graying hair, came up to Lynn and whispered something in her ear.

"I have two friends."

As she spoke, she glanced at Mike, who stood beside Lynn like a loyal bodyguard, to make sure no one else was listening.

"Okay, go ahead, I'm listening."

Lynn nodded, unconsciously moving a little further away from her. This woman hadn't showered for at least a month, and the smell of her body combined with her cheap perfume was truly overwhelming.

"It's in the basement of an apartment building on James Street to the east. They work as trial participants for pharmaceutical companies year-round. Although they earn a decent amount, they've developed a host of illnesses from taking all sorts of new drugs."

Lily scratched her messy head, and Lynn saw dandruff flying down her scalp like snowflakes. She quietly took a half step back.

"I don't know if it's poisoning or what, but they seem to be in really bad spirits lately, and they're also feeling unwell in various ways. I think you could go and have them checked out; it's not far anyway."

"A clinical trial participant for a pharmaceutical company's new drug?"

In her previous life, Lynn had read online that the reason why the new drug research and development at Xida University was far ahead of Dongda University was because they had conducted a sufficient number of clinical trials, which were detailed enough, and had enough volunteers willing to participate in the evaluation of drug safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics.

With the liability waiver, they can receive varying amounts of US dollars as subsidies based on the severity of the new drug's side effects.

It's likely that the two friends Lily mentioned were among the large group of people participating in the drug trials.

"That's good. This way I can gain another 20 experience points, which will help me level up faster. But I only have one antidote left. What should I do?"
