On the Ark.

“Don’t rush,” Kal’tsit said. “Have you forgotten the mobile warships we purchased from Victoria? The handover is in a few days, and we can temporarily leave Ursus using the warships. But where to go next is something we need to discuss. We need to anticipate the world’s reaction when we reveal the ‘Y Reagent’ and ‘L Reagent’. After all, compared to a single nation, we are still far too weak.”

Kal'tsit's words reminded Lin Ye of Ying Li.

If only he were still the third prince of Yan Kingdom, there wouldn't be so many problems if he had Yan Kingdom as his backer.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out; one could only say he was not born to be a prince.

“Furthermore, Rhodes Island needs to expand further,” Kal'tsit said. “Delivering ‘Y Reagent’ and ‘L Reagent’ to the world requires a much larger production line, and even with the production line, we won’t be able to produce that many reagents until we solve your blood problem. So what we should do now is move to the warships and then test the two reagents on the island first, continuing its research and development.”

Lin Ye nodded: "I'll do whatever you say. Just tell me if there's anything I need you to do."

“There really is one.” Kal’tsit looked at Lin Ye and then said, word by word, “I hope that once we get to the warship, you will take over the position of Doctor.”

Lin Ye was stunned.

Chapter 612: The Selection of New Roommates

"Hey, what are you spacing out for?"

Ansel's voice woke Lin Ye from his reverie. He looked up and saw a towel flying towards him and landing on his face.

"Hurry up and pack your things, okay?" Ansel said irritably. "How long are you going to stand there in a daze?"

Lin Ye immediately took the towel off his face and put it into the suitcase next to him.

Today is the day of "moving".

The mobile warships ordered from Victoria have arrived, and their mobile town will be mortgaged to Penguin Logistics, so today is the day to move.

To be honest, Lin Ye felt a little reluctant to leave Rhodes Island, where he had lived for two years. After all, he had experienced a lot here in the past two years. Now that he was leaving, he felt like he was going to high school after graduating from junior high.

As for why we didn't use a university degree as an example?

Because Lin Ye had already passed away before graduating from university.

"Oh, right." Ansel seemed to suddenly remember something, turned to look at Lin Ye and asked, "You should know, right? After we transfer to the warship, we'll start expanding our recruitment."

Lin Ye nodded.

He knew this, of course. Kal'tsit had told him long ago that "Y Reagent" and "L Reagent" were both world-changing entities. In other words, Rhodes Island was about to become a world-changing entity, so it couldn't afford to operate on a small scale like before. Therefore, expanding its scale was the most basic requirement.

“There will be many new people arriving on the island then,” Ansel said. “And in order to help them integrate into the island better and faster, the dormitories will need to be rearranged.”

"Hmm...hmm?" Lin Ye was taken aback; he hadn't heard of such a thing before. "Why?"

“Didn’t I just explain the reason?” Ansel said. “This is Amiya’s idea. Basically, it’s about experienced staff mentoring new staff. Each dormitory will consist of both veteran and new employees.”

Lin Ye's lips twitched slightly: "So that means..."

“As a veteran of the medical department, I’ll also be assigned to mentor new recruits,” Ansel said calmly. “In other words, you’ll be looking for a new roommate.”

Lin Ye: "..."

"What's wrong?" Ansel asked. "Is there a problem?"

"No." Lin Ye shook his head. "I'm just really going to miss you."

Ansel's expression immediately turned strange: "Don't you think that's a little disgusting?"

"Really? I don't think so," Lin Ye said. "This is just my honest opinion."

"Then you should just keep it to yourself." Ansel crossed her arms and gently shook her drooping pink ears. "For me, I'm actually quite happy that I don't have to take care of you anymore, you troublesome guy."

Kal'tsit didn't tell Lin Ye about the dormitory reassignment. But Lin Ye didn't think Kal'tsit was hiding anything; it was probably just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. However, the people on the island were quite concerned. When Lin Ye left the dormitory with his luggage, Ifrit appeared out of nowhere and caught up with him.

"Quack doctor! Quack doctor!" Ifrit called out to Lin Ye.

Lin Ye glared at Ifrit: "If you call me a quack again, I'll tell Himer."

"Oh, Uncle Lin Ye."

"Wait here, I'll go tell Himer right away."

"That's what Hamer told me to call him."

“…Okay, never mind.” Lin Ye felt that if that unlucky girl Ifrit had come to him, it couldn't be anything good, and he immediately became wary. “What is it?”

Ifrit asked, "Are you aware that dormitories are being reassigned?"

“I know,” Lin Ye said, “but this has nothing to do with you, does it? Can you leave Himer and Saria?”

“It’s just a change of dorms, and my illness has been under control for a long time. I don’t need to stay with Himer anymore,” Ifrit said.

"Then go tell Himer," Lin Ye said, somewhat puzzled. "Why would you tell me?"

Ifrit poked Lin Ye's waist: "Quack doctor, how about I sleep with you?"

Lin Ye nearly bit his tongue. He turned and glared at Ifrit: "Are you fucking kidding me?"

“I’m not kidding you, I’m serious,” Ifrit said earnestly. “If I were living with someone else, Himer would definitely be worried, but if it’s you, Dr. Quack, then there’s definitely no problem. Although I don’t know why, Himer seems to trust you a lot.”

Lin Ye's lips twitched slightly: "No matter how much she trusts me, she would never agree to let you share a room with me."

"Why?" Ifrit said, "How will you know if you don't ask?"

"Why would I ask? I don't want to get killed by Saria, okay?"

Ifrit tilted her head: "Why did Saria hit you?"

"Of course it's because... never mind, it's nothing." Lin Ye took a deep breath and then said, "Anyway, living with me is absolutely impossible. I know what you're thinking, you probably think that if you live with me, no one will care if you stay up all night playing games, right?"

A hint of unease flashed in Ifrit's eyes: "H-How could that be? Would I, Lady Ifrit, be afraid of such a thing? Who would dare to interfere with me?"

“Go tell that to Himer,” Lin Ye said. “Anyway, I’m not going to agree, so you might as well give up.”

Ifrit pouted and poked Lin Ye's waist with obvious dissatisfaction: "You're so stingy, no wonder you still don't have a girlfriend."

Lin Ye glanced sideways at Ifrit, thinking, "Are all precocious demons this difficult to deal with?" He said irritably, "Whether I have a girlfriend or not is none of your business. If you keep bothering me here, I'm really going to tell Himer. From now on, you can't play games all night, or even during normal hours."

This was a deadly threat to Ifrit, so she immediately took two steps back, made a face at Lin Ye, and left.

But Ansel and Ifrit's words reminded Lin Ye that it was time to consider the issue of a new roommate.

Ansel was arranged by Shining. Although his personality was a bit eccentric and he would grind his teeth at night, Lin Ye was generally quite satisfied. After all, if his roommate were a Ranger or a Horned Spear, he probably wouldn't be so satisfied.

Hmm, but why does it have to be a male roommate?

Aren't female roommates pretty good too?

Lin Ye suddenly thought of Skadi.

There was no chance before, I wonder if I'll have one this time...

Just then, someone patted him on the shoulder from behind: "Dr. Lin, Amiya wants to see you."

……

……

Author's note: I've had enough rest and will resume daily updates.

Chapter 613 The First Thing About Becoming a Doctor

When Lin Ye saw those familiar yet unfamiliar black rabbit ears swaying in front of him, he still felt a little unreal.

After all, as the only female protagonist in the game and one of the administrators of Rhodes Island, Amiya's presence was pitifully weak. Two and a half years after arriving on the island, this was only the second time Lin Ye had seen Amiya. If he remembered correctly, the last time they met was two years ago when Amiya asked Lin Ye to contact Skadi on the fourth floor of the office building.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye. Lin Ye is no longer the intern doctor he once was, and the office building he used to work in is now being mortgaged to someone else.

“Dr. Lin.” Amiya looked at Lin Ye and blinked. “Or should I call you Doctor?”

Lin Ye's lips twitched slightly: "Kal'tsit already told you?"

“Yes,” Amiya nodded and said, “The teacher also said that you haven’t agreed yet.”

"How can I agree to that?" Lin Ye scratched his head and said, "I've only been here for two years. Although I can be considered a senior employee, I can't possibly be senior enough to become a PhD. That's too absurd."

"But Professor Kal'tsit has already told you about the Doctor, hasn't she?" Amiya asked.

Lin Ye nodded.

Two years later, Kal'tsit finally told him about the most mysterious doctor on Rhodes Island yesterday.

The story is actually quite simple. The doctor at Rhodes Island is named Ian, a former college classmate of Kal'tsit, and comes from a respectable family. Having contracted Oripathy, he and Kal'tsit founded Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals with the goal of curing the disease. They then used their connections to rapidly develop Rhodes Island.

Unfortunately, his good fortune was short-lived. Due to the severity of his illness, the doctor did not survive for long and passed away.

However, for the sake of Rhodes Island's development and to maintain investor confidence, Kal'tsit concealed the news of the Doctor's death. She publicly claimed the Doctor was recuperating, and internally that he was on a business trip, creating the illusion that he was still alive. At the same time, she promoted Amiya to a management position to share the burden.

When a lie is repeated a hundred times, it becomes the truth.

Apart from a very few people who knew the truth, most employees still believed that the Doctor was alive. This left Kal'tsit, who had already overcome the difficulties of the early stages of the business, unsure of how to maintain the lie, so she chose to keep the Doctor "alive" to this day.

To be honest, Lin Ye was quite surprised after learning the truth. Although he had wondered if the Doctor might not exist, he hadn't expected that the Doctor had already died. However, as a transmigrator, he certainly had a broader perspective on things than the people of this world.

If he remembers correctly, the doctor is a "player" in the game.

But in the real world, there are no "players," so it's perfectly normal that the Doctor doesn't exist.

Lin Ye felt a sense of familiarity with the name Ian.

He vaguely remembered that his account ID during the game's closed beta was this name. Kal'tsit had also told him that he and the deceased Doctor did indeed share some similarities. Therefore, in the early days of his arrival on the island, Kal'tsit gave him a lot of "care" (though he himself didn't realize it).

However, since there is no clear evidence, these things can only be defined as speculation.

Who knows what the truth really is? After all, being transported to a game world can't be judged by ordinary standards. So Lin Ye wasn't too concerned about the truth; he just needed to believe what Kal'tsit told him, which would save him a lot of trouble.

Let's return to the fact that Kal'tsit made Lin Ye the Doctor.

Kal'tsit's idea was simple: making Lin Ye a Doctor would both cover up the lie they told and greatly benefit Rhodes Island's future development. After all, even in this world, men still have a much greater advantage than women. Having a male as the top leader would definitely make partners feel more at ease than having a female one.

Within the island, the most qualified person to succeed the doctor is naturally Mr. Lin, who has already brought hope to the future of the infected (although he only donated blood).

“I also hope you can consider it.” For this reason, Amiya addressed Lin Ye with respect. She said earnestly, “This is for Rhodes Island, and for the Infected. My teacher and I both hope you can become the Doctor. No one is more suitable for that position than you.”

Since Amiya had already put it that way, Lin Ye seemed to have a hard time refusing, so he could only vaguely say, "I'll think about it some more."

"Still need to think about it?" Amiya pursed her lips and said with a smile, "I'll take that as your agreement, Doctor."

"I just don't know what else I can do," Lin Ye said involuntarily.

“If you’re willing, you can naturally participate in all the decisions made on the island,” Amiya said. “If you’re not willing, you can naturally live as before and leave all the work to me and the teacher.”

"Isn't this just a mascot?"
