Doctor will never die in a hellish situation.

Has another one gone crazy?

"Gumi, what happened?" Qin Duanyu asked curiously.

"Doctor, look at this applicant. He even sticks his tongue out during combat. Is that some kind of special fighting style?" Gummy said with a grin, taking out a file.

It was a photo of an applicant during a test at the local office. The person in the photo was wearing a blue hoodie, and her long legs were encased in dark blue stockings. She must have been a cute girl.

However, from the side and back of the blue hood, a long, pink object can be vaguely seen, resembling a sticking-out tongue, making it impossible to imagine what it looks like from the front.

"Let me see it!" Qin Duanyu felt that the back view was somewhat familiar, and she even thought she had seen that "tongue" somewhere before.

This is… Looking at the front-facing photo and the operator's code name on the first page of the file, his hands trembled with excitement.

"Zero combat experience? I don't want such a weakling. If it's just to get by, there's no need for that." Winter leaned over to look at the file, raised her eyebrows, and said with dissatisfaction, "But her codename is quite interesting, Blue Poison."

"Are you sure you don't need her? Anyway, I've decided to recruit this operator. Your group isn't the only one lacking sniper operators, so don't regret it later."

"Then... let's go take a look together. Gummy, don't laugh. I... I'm just worried that the doctor might be scammed, so I'm keeping an eye on things for him."

Sorry, I have some urgent matters to attend to in the real world today, so I can only update once for now. However, I will update three times a day for the next three days as an apology to everyone, and also to celebrate reaching 500 views.

Thank you for your support.

Can we do Section 20, Chapter 20, again?

Inside Rhodes Island's training grounds, the operators were practicing in small groups. No one noticed that a petite girl had appeared on a bench in the corner, looking at them with envy.

"What kind of person is that doctor?" The girl asked, while checking her crossbow and listening to the operators' conversation.

The one who appears most frequently is the doctor, the head of the operations department.

He likes sweets, speaks incoherently, and can't see his face clearly... He's a complete weirdo, but even he would probably find it hard to accept someone as toxic as me.

The girl had experienced too many similar things. After witnessing her unique fighting style, her so-called comrades, though they didn't say it, distanced themselves from her openly and secretly, and there were even rumors that she would be poisoned if touched.

Sigh, it's best not to have any expectations. The girl sighed and continued with her work.

"Hello, Miss Blue Poison."

Not long after, a gentle voice made her raise her head.

It was a tall, thin man wearing a black coat. He bent down and offered her a hand. Although her face was obscured by a mask, his soft voice suggested he was smiling at her.

Qin Duanyu was indeed smiling at this moment, but it was the kind of lewd smile that would make someone call the police if they saw it.

Beneath the deep blue hood was a timid little face, with captivatingly blue eyes like the ocean, a pale pink tongue, and long hair tied into two braids that hung down beside her face.

She's even prettier and cuter than in the photos!

"You must be the Doctor? Um... do you really want to shake my hand?" Blue Poison looked at the outstretched hand and asked incredulously.

"Are you worried about those rumors? It's okay. Although the people in the HR department don't do personnel work, they're quite reliable when it comes to gathering intelligence on operators. I have a general understanding of your situation," Qin Duanyu said with a smile.

In fact, Blue Poison's so-called "poisonous" abilities are more reflected in her skillful production techniques for toxic agents and her extensive knowledge of toxicology.

She's not some kind of "cursed poison body," and she's not as mysterious as the rumors suggest. There's no risk of poisoning from everyday contact; it's just the ignorant people exaggerating.

This was the first time Blue Poison had encountered such a situation. Although he raised his right hand, he hesitated and dared not extend it, as if he were about to grasp a piece of red-hot charcoal.

Even a straight man made of vibranium knew what to do at this moment, and Qin Duanyu stepped forward and took her small hand.

Hmm, it feels nice, soft.

"You...you met me? Do it again, do it again, could you please do it one more time?" Blue Poison's eyes widened, her azure pupils filled with anticipation.

The cute girl took the initiative to ask to hold hands, which Qin Duanyu was naturally more than happy to accept, but some people couldn't stand it.

"I said, have you guys had enough? Can we start the test?" Winter said impatiently after being ignored for a long time.

"Excuse me, this is Winter, the leader of Operation C2. You will be assigned to her group in the future," Qin Duanyu explained, secretly deciding to move Truth to Gummy's dorm room in a couple of days.

Hmph, you're interrupting my flirting with girls, so I'll make sure you can't get close to the truth.

"I haven't said I'd take her in yet. The C2 action team doesn't want any useless people. If she can't pass the assessment, she'll go back to where she came from." Winter felt a chill for no reason, but she didn't take it to heart.

"Understood. I will demonstrate the abilities of the poison to you both!"

……

Spin, jump, shoot.

Blue Poison completed the basic shooting training with ease, as if dancing.

"Shooting fifty targets while moving at high speed, taking 4 minutes and 3 seconds, with a hit rate of 96%, that's quite terrifying." Qin Duanyu looked at the results and asked Lin Dong jokingly, "What do you think, little boss?"

Although it was expected that Blue Poison would be both good and bad, this result far surpasses most sniper operators, especially those who also use crossbows. Perhaps only Kroos with her eyes open can rival her.

"Tch, what kind of skill is shooting targets? What if you become a coward on the battlefield?" Winter had already acknowledged Blue Poison's strength, but upon hearing Qin Duanyu's teasing, she couldn't help but stubbornly retort, "In the name of Winter, the leader of Operation C2 and a senior operator, I request that the newly recruited operator Blue Poison undergo a formal operator assessment—no, a senior operator assessment!"

"As you wish." Qin Duanyu shrugged. He also wanted to see where Blue Poison's limits were. "Miss Blue Poison, please move to the first training ground. The following tests can use live ammunition."

[Loading data for the veteran operator assessment scenario. Battlefield environment simulation is in progress. Control of training equipment has been acquired. Scenario codename: PR-B-1. Target confirmed as sniper operator. Number of participants confirmed: 1.]

Soon, the training ground was set up, and Blue Poison entered the test scenario.

Unlike the tests for promotion to the official operations team, which focus on teamwork and the captain's command ability, the tests for promotion to senior operators require more individual strength, and the enemy force configuration is also slightly different.

For example, when Winter participated in the testing, the enemies were mostly high-speed moving Originium Hounds and lightly armored thugs, in order to test her ability to perform the role of a vanguard operator. And the job of a sniper operator, naturally, is—

Masturbation.

With a hum of propellers, five integrated attack drones took off.

Blue Poison deftly dodged the shots and returned fire with a few crossbow bolts. The crossbow, of unknown construction, would slowly charge up during firing, allowing her to fire two bolts at once after several rounds of attacks.

Moments later, all the drones were shot down, and sparks could be seen flying from the damaged areas, along with a strangely colored liquid flowing out.

"Do robots bleed?" Winter frowned as she looked at the few blobs of something on the ground that looked like mosaics.

"That's the corrosive toxin attached to her crossbow bolts. Even if the enemy is wearing heavy armor, it will slowly come into contact with their skin through the gaps in the armor and cause damage," Qin Duanyu explained, while sending out several Reunion Movement thugs carrying shields and armor.

Just as he predicted, these unlucky fellows hadn't gone far before they collapsed to the ground in agony, clutching their throats.

Next, it's about continuing to stack up the number of enemies, but for Blue Poison, whose basic attack has a built-in combo effect, this is undoubtedly just a waste of time.

A dozen minutes later, the pre-selected enemies were all slaughtered.

"*Ursus profanity*, you passed the senior operator test without taking any damage, and you still say you don't know how to fight... ptooey, your combat experience is 0?" Looking at Blue Poison's effortless performance, Winter was filled with disbelief.

"I'm sorry, but before, the crossbow bolts hit the targets and they just fell to the ground and died. That really doesn't count as a fight," the girl said casually, smoothing her hair.

"Do I meet your criteria?"

Section 21, Chapter Twenty-One: What are the Ursus people capable of doing for a drink?

"What? Such a good sniper and you're still picking and choosing? Winter, if you don't want this girl, our B1 team will take her!"

"Give me a break. Does a bunch of weaklings in Group B1 deserve such a good sniper? Our entire C1 team of tough guys will protect you and let you output damage safely from the rear."

"Miss, please come to Group E0. Although our group leader, SCOUT, is still in the hospital, we'll apply to make you the group leader as soon as you come!"

Since Qin Duanyu arrived at Rhodes Island, the first training ground has been used as a dedicated testing venue. Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of the other operators who were still training.

Although these teams are fairly well-staffed, who would complain about not having enough capable operators under their command? There's no reason to let go of talent like someone who passes the senior operator test right after joining the company.

"Get out, get out, are you all tired of living? Trying to poach our C2 team?" Winter was getting anxious and swung her axe to chase them away. After all, she hadn't been too nice to Blue Poison before, and if they were really tricked by other action teams, where would she go to complain?

Looking at the chaotic scene, Blue Poison's anxious heart suddenly calmed down.

These operators, having witnessed her fighting style, did not show the fear and rejection that the others had shown before. Instead, they desperately wanted to recruit her.

It seems that joining Rhodes Island is a good choice.

On the other side, Winter had already chased away her troublemaking colleagues and affectionately put her arm around Blue Poison's neck: "From now on, you're under my protection. You don't need to call me team leader or anything. Just call me Big Sister like Truth and the others do."

"Sister Frost Winter, be careful!" Blue Poison was startled and tried to break free from Frost Winter's bear hug.

As mentioned before, routine contact with Blue Poison will not cause poisoning, but the act of putting her arm around her neck clearly goes beyond that; the large patch of colorful skin on the back of her neck is no mere decoration.

"Blue Poison, how come you have two? And Doctor, don't wander around like that." Unfortunately, Winter was still affected by the toxin, and an unusual flush appeared on her face.

"Please don't move, I have an antidote here!" Blue Poison pulled out a jar of ointment from her pocket and hurriedly tried to apply it to Winter. She didn't want to knock out the team leader so soon after arriving.

"No, no, no, what detoxification? This feeling is absolutely amazing!" Winter burped again, sitting on the ground with a blissful expression. "Doctor, let me tell you, I haven't felt this good in ages, burp!"

Is he... drunk?

Qin Duanyu opened the operator training module and carefully checked Winter's condition.

[Physical condition: Healthy (slightly tipsy)]

Even more outrageous, the system showed that her physiological endurance, physical strength, and battlefield mobility attributes had actually increased slightly, making her comparable to an ACE, while her tactical planning and combat skills attributes were reduced to zero.

As expected of Bear Girl, she's incredibly tough. She can withstand the deadly toxins of Blue Poison and even finds it quite enjoyable.

"It's decided! We're having a party in my dorm room today to celebrate the new member joining!" After a while, Winter seemed to have come to her senses, but she looked at Blue Poison with an even more fervent enthusiasm than before.

……

Strictly speaking, the Ursus trio are still high school students, and the oldest, Winter, will not officially become an adult until a month later. However, Rhodes Island, a legitimate company that employs child laborers, is excessively strict in some aspects.

For example, minors are not allowed to drink alcohol.

In the extremely cold Ursus, drinking strong liquor to keep warm is perfectly normal. For Winter and others, having a drink occasionally is no big deal, and the school turns a blind eye to it.

As the saying goes, extremes meet. Winter, who was driven crazy by being cooped up, not only bought up all the chocolates with liqueur fillings in the store, but also made Gummy steal some cooking wine and other things from the kitchen more than once.

However, with the addition of Blue Poison, the problem was temporarily resolved.

"Doctor, would you like a sip?" Accompanied by deafening Slavic pop music, Winter picked up a cup and held it out to Qin Duanyu.

It's not wine inside, of course, but a crystal-clear green liquid. When you get close, you can smell a sweet and intoxicating aroma that's a bit overpowering.

It is made by mixing 3ml of Blue Poison's surface venom with 600ml of distilled water. As for its power, just look at Gummy doing a handstand next to him and Truth doing a Cossack kicking dance.

"Thank you, but no need. I'm happy as long as you're happy." Although in a sense this could be considered a kind of "girly charm," Qin Duanyu shook her head repeatedly and refused without even thinking about it.

Before transmigrating, Qin Duanyu had heard that when the Russians in the neighboring country ran out of alcohol, they would even use medical alcohol and airplane antifreeze. But drinking their neurotoxins... Qin Duanyu could only admit defeat.
