On the Ark.

Lin Ye nodded in satisfaction: "Sure, no problem at all."

"Tsk, I feel really uncomfortable with your attitude." Ifrit also noticed Lin Ye's sword. "Hey, aren't you a psychiatrist? How come you can use a sword?"

Lin Ye now desperately wants everyone to see his sword.

"It's always good to have more skills," Lin Ye said casually.

"Chicken what..."

Before Lin Ye could answer, Nightingale emerged from behind him again. She seemed somewhat afraid of Ifrit, but she wasn't afraid when she stood behind Lin Ye.

“Pineapple Bun is amazing,” Nightingale said to Ifrit. “He also knows swordsmanship.”

"Really?" Ifrit looked at Lin Ye with some surprise. "Oh ho, I didn't know you knew any swordsmanship."

Nightingale then took over the conversation.

"Enemy, enemy." She held up a finger, trying hard to recall the slogan Lin Ye had just shouted.

Lin Ye immediately sensed something was wrong and tried to cover her mouth, but it was too late.

“Take off the enemy’s clothes and practice swordsmanship,” Nightingale said.

Ifrit's expression immediately became quite interesting.

I'm so happy the updates are back! But then I think about the missed updates and I suddenly feel unhappy.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Necessary Conditions for Becoming a Psychotherapist

After Nightingale told Ifrit about Lin Ye's "sword technique name," Ifrit no longer wanted to stay with Lin Ye and insisted on going to another room. This was exactly what Nightingale wanted, so after Ifrit left, Lin Ye looked at Nightingale with suspicion, wondering if it was all a trap set by Nightingale, a conspiracy.

However, he had no evidence and was unwilling to consider that possibility.

The seemingly innocent and adorable devil girl was suddenly discovered to be black inside, a reality Lin Ye found far too cruel.

Lin Ye soon tragically discovered that Nightingale seemed to be shifting towards a more cunning and ruthless nature.

After Ifrit left, Nightingale slowly walked to the bedside, then pulled out a drawer from the bedside table, took out sandwiches and desserts, and began to nibble on them.

Seeing all this, Lin Ye couldn't help but ask, "Did you leave because you didn't want to share the bread with Ifrit?"

“No.” Nightingale shook her head.

"You clearly have it!"

"...There aren't many pineapple buns left."

Lin Ye felt that he should teach a certain devil a lesson: "One shouldn't be so stingy."

"I'm not stingy."

"Then why don't you share the bread with Ifrit?" Lin Ye retorted.

Nightingale paused for a moment, then said, "She has a computer, headphones, and drinks."

Lin Ye was a little confused: "So?"

"But all I have left are pineapple buns."

Lin Ye: "..."

He didn't know why, but Nightingale made such a pitiful sound about what was clearly a very ordinary topic, making Lin Ye feel that his advice to Nightingale to be more magnanimous seemed a bit immoral.

"Alright, alright, if we're not going to break up, then we're not going to." Lin Ye sighed. "You can keep it for yourself. I'm going back now."

After saying that, Lin Ye prepared to leave, but Nightingale stopped him.

"Are you angry?" Nightingale asked.

"No, why would I be angry?"

"I'm just angry." Nightingale hesitated for a moment, then handed the sandwich to Lin Ye. "I'll give you the pineapple bun, so don't be angry."

Lin Ye looked at the sandwich in Nightingale's hand and suddenly didn't know what to say.

You're despicable! Please stop doing this! Don't make me feel any more guilty! Are you a demon?!

Oh, you really do seem to be a demon.

"Okay, okay, I'll stay with you a little longer." Lin Ye sat back down. "I really don't want to eat. You can eat by yourself."

Nightingale nodded and began to eat again. She seemed to really like desserts and value them highly, so she ate them slowly and carefully, as if she were cherishing them.

However, Lin Ye found this way of eating very agonizing, so instead of looking at Nightingale, he decided to check out the new package Kal'tsit had given him.

Unzip the package, and a white light shone through the gap.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the light was being reflected from the nameplate.

Lin Ye took out the nameplate, and saw that it read:

Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals

Name: Lin Ye

Position: Psychological Counselor

Permissions: One-star (Special Permissions)

It was similar to the nameplate Lin Ye had received the first time, except that the word "Intern" after the position was removed, and "Internship Permission" after "Permission" was changed to "Special Permission." Lin Ye didn't quite understand this "Special Permission." He only knew that his one-star permission during his internship only allowed him to open the dormitory door and use it as a meal card in the cafeteria. He couldn't even enter the office building's restrooms, which required a card swipe, and had to borrow Nightingale's six-star card to use the restroom each time.

So why put access control devices in front of the restrooms?! Are they afraid outsiders will use Rhodes Island's restrooms?!

Lin Ye expressed that he did not understand this at all.

After interning at Rhodes Island for over a week, Lin Ye had a general understanding of the star-rating system. The level of authority wasn't directly related to the star rating; star ratings were determined by a combination of factors, including time spent at Rhodes Island, position, and abilities. Lin Ye didn't fully understand the specific criteria, but according to Zilan, aside from interns and high-level management or operators in special departments, all other operators had the same authority, which wasn't significantly affected by star ratings.

So, what does this one-star operator represent?

Were they relegated to one-star operators because they had no combat capabilities?

However, when Lin Ye was at Rhodes Island, he had seen almost all the operators from two-star to six-star, but he had never seen a one-star operator. The most common civilian operators all started at two stars.

One-star operators do exist, Lin Ye had asked Fu Rong before if one-star was a star rating unique to trainee operators, and Fu Rong said no, adding that Rhodes Island has other one-star operators, and they are very important to Rhodes Island!

Thinking about this, Lin Ye understood.

It seems that Kal'tsit also considers him to be a very important figure to Rhodes Island, and has already recognized his abilities and status.

Tsk tsk, I really want to meet the other one-star operators.

He put the nameplate away and continued rummaging through the package. Then he found several forms under the uniform.

"List of Rhode Island Psychological Counseling Center Members" and "Recruitment Announcement".

Lin Ye then remembered the task Kal'tsit had given him.

It seems he'll have to write the recruitment announcement himself.

At this moment, Nightingale leaned over, glanced at the document, and asked, "What are you recruiting for?"

“Recruiting team members,” Lin Ye said with a touch of pride. “I’m already a junior manager.”

"Is that so?" Nightingale thought for a moment. "I want to come."

What are you doing here?

"I am a doctor."

"It's rare that you still remember you're a doctor," Lin Ye said. "But no, even if I need a doctor, I need a psychologist, a professional one."

Nightingale didn't quite understand Lin Ye's meaning, but that didn't stop her from wanting to join in the fun.

“I think I’m very professional,” Nightingale said.

Lin Ye glanced at Nightingale.

While it's true that experience makes one a better doctor, isn't it irresponsible to have someone like Nightingale, a patient with mental illness, become a psychologist? Especially for someone in the psychology field, since patients with mental illnesses are often emotionally vulnerable.

Imagine you finally make up your mind and muster up the courage to see a psychologist, only to find that the doctor is more seriously ill than you. How would you feel?

With that in mind, Lin Ye wrote down the first requirement for team members in the recruitment notice.

First: He is mentally sound.

what's next?

Lin Ye pondered again.

When the patient mustered the courage to enter the consultation room, he suddenly discovered...

The attending physician was actually a veterinarian!

This doesn't seem like a good idea either.

So Lin Ye added a second condition.

You must have relevant experience or resume.

To summarize the two points.

He's not mentally ill, and he's also good at treating illnesses.

Lin Ye put down his pen, filled with anticipation.

Chapter Seventy: Encountering an Acquaintance

The following day, Rhodes Island operators stationed in Lungmen received an invitation to a charity cocktail party from Lungmen.

This was what Kal'tsit and Lin Ye had mentioned earlier, so Lin Ye brought Nightingale and joined Kal'tsit and the others to participate. They had originally wanted to invite Ifrit, but Ifrit absolutely refused to go out with Lin Ye, so Kal'tsit had to leave several medical operators at the hotel to take care of her.

"I thought you and Ifrit were getting along quite well," Kal'tsit said to Lin Ye casually. "She's stopped listening to you so quickly?"

Lin Ye felt somewhat embarrassed, but didn't know how to answer Kal'tsit, so he could only glare fiercely at the oblivious demon.

The party was held in a villa, and Longmen had sent a private car to pick them up. In Lin Ye's opinion, this was already quite prestigious. However, once they arrived, they realized it wasn't so prestigious after all, as the parking lot was full of luxury cars, meaning that most of the attendees were wealthy people. But thinking about it, it seemed normal; after all, it was a charity party. While one can do charity without money, one definitely couldn't attend such a party without it.

Upon entering the party venue, Lin Ye noticed that the men were all dressed in suits and ties, and the women in high heels and evening gowns. Only his group was somewhat different. Kal'tsit had simply removed her lab coat and was wearing casual clothes, while Lin Ye was wearing the uniform issued by Rhodes Island—his best attire. As for Nightingale, she was wearing her usual white coat and sweater, but…

Lin Ye glanced at the shoes under Nightingale's thighs, and his lips twitched slightly.

"Liz!" Lin Ye whispered in Nightingale's ear, "You're wearing your socks inside out."
