Their commission was suspicious.

While you're at it, take another look at each of the 32 identity-related memory packs.

Chen Luo hadn't read all 32 identities before, as they were too many; he had only read a few of them.

Rhodes Island has infected operators from all over the world with various backgrounds, which will definitely be helpful for Chen Luo in accepting his missions.

Moreover, even disregarding this factor, from a preconceived notion perspective, Chen Luo was quite satisfied with the position of acting doctor at Rhodes Island.

Although Chen Luo has a rumored girlfriend who is a female PhD student in the entertainment industry, Chen Luo doesn't care.

After all, he's in charge of flirting with the female operators, while the female PhD is in charge of the work—isn't that a match made in heaven?

"But you can't deny that I now have a deep love for Rhodes Island, and I completely understand Rhodes Island's work for the Infected. I want to understand the Infected more deeply. Can you give me that opportunity?"

"You mean you want to treat more infected people in one day?" Kelsey asked after a pause.

“No, I mean contact, not cure. You should understand the impact it would have on Rhodes Island if word got out that there was a cure for Oripathy. Rhodes Island isn't mature enough yet, not on this land…”

"Speak like a human being," Kal'tsit said coldly.

Kal'tsit has always been the one telling riddles to others; no one has ever been able to tell a riddle to Kal'tsit! No one!

Trying to use riddles in front of Kal'tsit is like showing off your sword skills in front of Guan Yu!

"Do you think it's better for me to leave 1% of the Oripathy untreated when treating everyone and pretend it's not cured, or for you to keep it a secret after you've cured them?" Chen Luo asked Kal'tsit.

"This is a decision you make yourself. But curing the ore is something countless infected people dream of," Kal'tsit cautioned.

"..."

Speaking of his dream, Chen Luo thought that instead of worrying about the impact on Rhodes Island's ability to cure Oripathy, he should worry about whether he could maintain his composure in the face of the request to cure Oripathy.

Chen Luo probably couldn't refuse the commission at all.

“I understand. Since it’s the infected people’s request, I’m willing to fulfill it.” Chen Luo nodded.

"..."

For a moment, Kal'tsit felt that Chen Luo seemed to genuinely care about Rhodes Island. He even considered whether Rhodes Island would be impacted by the cure of Oripathy.

Chen Luo had always adopted a passive attitude towards Rhodes Island and his other identities.

If I had to put it simply, my thoughts are similar to those of that female PhD student: everyone is just a pawn!

The difference is that Chen Luo only likes collecting chess pieces but doesn't play chess; he just seems to be giving up and not wanting to work hard.

Chen Luo's attitude seems to have changed quite a bit now; at least he's willing to work overtime for Rhodes Island.

Perhaps in his eyes, the chess pieces have become something else?

Chapter 1326 Skin Sensitivity at Max - Kal'tsit!

After talking with Chen Luo and seeing his determination and belief in understanding the infected, Kal'tsit's attitude towards Chen Luo has changed a lot. At least this guy isn't just giving up now.

Whether it's true or not remains to be seen; we'll have to wait and see.

However, Chen Luo said he had something to say: In the past, he only completed the commissions without giving out raw stones, so why shouldn't he set up a stall?

Besides that, there's probably also the added bonus of having two-dimensional waifus now, right?

It has to be said that having a fictional wife first, and then encountering a real fictional wife, will greatly enhance your opinion of that person.

However, if you meet your waifu in person before watching anime or playing games, you'll feel a bit embarrassed, and the experience won't be as good as the former.

Just like those people who call themselves "old hags" all the time, who knows what they call their wives behind their backs?

Of course, it's also possible that, according to the established plot, your investigative abilities allow you to see your future self taking on numerous cases, thus creating opportunities for you.

Let's just think of this identity setting as if the present self has traveled to the past. If the present Chen Luo really traveled to the past, then Chen Luo, who has the ability to investigate and the power of the Book of Akasha, would know that the future version of himself would come and frantically take on commissions. Whether it's out of laziness or the desire to maximize profits, slacking off would be the best choice.

If you can't accept some requests now, you can accept them later!

Of course, this is just a setting, but since it is a setting of the world consciousness, the simulation is almost so high as to be realistic, so it can be regarded as Chen Luo's own idea.

After observing for a long time and roughly confirming that Chen Luo really intended to take charge of Rhodes Island, get involved in higher-level matters of Rhodes Island, and share Amiya's burdens, Kal'tsit began to think about what kind of work to give Chen Luo.

While obtaining a status through an application is convenient, it doesn't come with genuine goodwill.

Fortunately, Chen Luo has always been quite succubus-like. As long as Chen Luo sincerely helps others, he can easily gain goodwill. Therefore, by virtue of his helpful attitude, Chen Luo can also use the "familiarity" relationship to win back favor.

So, you're saying you'll use every means to win your ex-wife back?! Seriously though, have you ever counted how many ex-wives you have on Terra?

"It's just Kal'tsit, right? Pshaw! What ex-wife?"

How can someone who tries to gain favor with another woman be considered an ex-wife?

"Since you want to get involved in matters related to Rhodes Island and the Infected, then go find Amiya, or do you want to go to the medical department?" Kal'tsit asked Chen Luo.

Kal'tsit could tell that Chen Luo genuinely wanted to have more contact with the infected, but she didn't know why he wanted to.

But Kal'tsit won't ask, because Kal'tsit knows everything.

Contact with infected individuals has never been a problem on Rhodes Island, because infected individuals are everywhere on Rhodes Island, especially since Chen Luo is a doctor.

However, if you want to have a lot of contact with infected people and get to know them, the medical department is a very suitable place.

"The medical department? Are we going to have to perform surgery again?"

Chen Luo is now almost developing PTSD from the word "surgery".

Chen Luoke is still just a child. Why did she need to have surgery at Rhodes Island after having surgery in the previous civilization?

Although Chen Luo is indeed highly skilled in surgical fusion surgery, and even Originium removal surgery on Oripathy patients, he cannot be regarded as a doctor.

Chen Luo was still just a student.

So, can students gain preferential treatment by building up their popularity?

"You may have some misunderstanding about the medical department. The doctors in the medical department do not perform surgery every day. They also use Originium Arts to treat and bandage injured operators, etc."

"And if you really have no interest in surgery or treatment, you can sit in your office and handle official business. I'll send an operator to act as your assistant every day," Kal'tsit offered another suggestion.

"Let me think about it. By the way, how about this? Right now, there are several operators on Rhodes Island whose Oripathy is so severe that I need to treat them specially. I imagine they have a lot of experiences. Could they tell me their stories about Oripathy before I treat them?"

Because in this relatively ample timeframe, the Oripathy cases of the operators that Kal'tsit requested Chen Luo to treat must have reached a point where they were almost unable to cope, and these individuals generally have very complex pasts.

Perhaps it will be a simple tragedy like the Nightingale's Tale, but it will still allow Chen Luo to deeply understand the tragedies that have happened and are happening on this land.

Are you reopening their wounds?

"It was entirely voluntary, entirely voluntary."

"...If it's purely voluntary, then yes."

Although Chen Luo is a doctor at Rhodes Island, he doesn't handle medical matters, so it's reasonable for him to make some extra requests when he's on a house call.

Great doctors often have quirks, which is quite normal, right?

"May I request that these people's memories related to the Oripathy tragedy be extracted?"

"Chen Luo, what are you planning to do now?"

"Don't panic, don't panic. I just want to better understand the tragedy happening on this land and contribute more to the cause of the infected."

"The cause of the Infected... Your tone sounds more like that of the Infected emerging organization, the Integration Movement, than like that of Dr. Rhodes Island."

Rhodes Island simply wanted to fight for the rights that the infected deserved, but Chen Luo's words went a bit too far.

"Just assume it's like this, okay?"

"Don't ask me that. Go ask the patients if they're willing to share their memories related to Oripathy. And what method do you plan to use to extract those memories? Is it some strange Originium Arts?" Kal'tsit was almost used to this kind of thing.

Chen Luo always likes to attribute any special things he brings out to Originium Arts.

If Originium Arts were so versatile, Kal'tsit would have been in heaven long ago, right?

You'd be better off saying that those are some mysterious Eastern powers than blaming everything on Originium Arts!

"Kal'tsit, you really understand me." Chen Luo placed his hand on Kal'tsit's shoulder, then subconsciously touched the few Originium stones on her shoulder.

In fact, from a generally rational perspective, Chen Luo's furniture expertise could also be used to deal with Originium, provided that Chen Luo could categorize Originium as furniture, or even Kal'tsit as...

Forget it, I won't bother the furniture experts with problems that can be solved with peeling capabilities.

“If you can truly guarantee that others won’t find out, you’re welcome to try. But if you can’t guarantee that others won’t find out, you’d better ask for their opinion first,” Kal’tsit said.

"Even if it's for Rhodes Island's sake, you should be mindful of the potential impact your identity might have on Rhodes Island."

Because Chen Luo is the acting doctor, now that the doctor is not around, Chen Luo is the doctor. If Chen Luo does something outrageous, it will affect other people's prejudice against Chen Luo and the entire Rhodes Island.

"I can guarantee that no one else will find out, but let's ask first."

If the other party agrees, Chen Luo will take it openly and honestly; if the other party does not agree, Chen Luo will take it secretly.

Chen Luo treats others without charging them money; all he wants is some memories related to Oripathy.

Although it was somewhat unethical, Chen Luo only collected some memories to try to observe the suffering of Oripathy patients, and did not use them for any other strange things.

Or offer a price that the memory owner cannot refuse?

I think if you go to the Train World, you might embark on a path of reminiscence. Although I think you should create your own destiny and become a star god yourself.

The Star God is indeed powerful, and Chen Luo is no match for him, but the Star God is also no match for Chen Luo.

As long as Chen Luo surrounds the illusory image of the River of Time with himself, he can establish an absolute defense. Whether it is a curse attack or a physical attack, Chen Luo can return three times (at least) the attack to the opponent.

However, doing this would be very inconvenient for Chen Luo.

However, Chen Luo first needs a philosophical concept that aligns with the level of a Star God before he can become a Star God.

The River God isn't suitable, nor are the three starter families. Perhaps we can look forward to a third SSS-level talent.

It could be domination, or it could be something else.

But if it's about domination, then there's fun in it.

"You decide to ask the patient beforehand if they agree, and take it directly if they don't. Is that your final decision?"

"Ah."

“I’m glad you told me about this idea beforehand, but I don’t really like it when you do something so dangerous. Anyway, whatever makes you happy.”

Kal'tsit felt she couldn't stop Chen Luo, after all, Chen Luo did have methods that she couldn't resist.

Various methods!

Including but not limited to cat toys!

"Oh, then Kal'tsit, do you mind?"

"I already said, I don't mind. Whatever makes you happy," Kal'tsit said somewhat impatiently.

"When will the surgery begin? Oh, no, I mean the treatment?"

"There's still half an hour left," Kal'tsit said after glancing at her watch.

“I’m not talking about Ifrit, I’m talking about you,” Chen Luo said, poking Kal’tsit’s shoulder.

"Don't tell me you're not planning to treat Oripathy?"

"Wait, were you asking me something?" Kal'tsit finally realized what was happening.

"What else? You've already agreed to let me extract your memories related to Oripathy, so you can't go back on your word."

"No!" Kal'tsit, abandoning her previous composure, firmly refused Chen Luo's request to extract her memories related to Oripathy.

"Okay, I understand. I respect your opinion." Chen Luo nodded obediently.

"Phew..." Kal'tsit breathed a sigh of relief.

"No, you can't just agree on the surface not to bring up my memories, and then extract them during my treatment!"

But Kal'tsit suddenly remembered what Chen Luo had just said.

Those who agree to have their memories extracted will have them extracted openly and honestly, while those who disagree will have them extracted secretly... Chen Luo agreed so readily just now, there must be something fishy going on!

"How could that be? Don't worry, I definitely won't secretly take it," Chen Luo said, blinking.

"I do not believe!"

Kal'tsit knew that Chen Luo possessed many amazing Originium Arts, but she had never witnessed Chen Luo using the Originium Arts technique for extracting memories, so she had no idea how to defend against it.

"Chen Luo, you should understand that on this land..."

"Snap!" Chen Luo snapped his fingers lightly.

Kal'tsit trembled and then collapsed to the ground, but fortunately Chen Luo caught her.
