Poseidon in Tomorrow's Ark

"Do you believe what I said?" The emperor sat on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine that he had opened at some unknown time, and subconsciously complained, "24 years old? I'm afraid you forgot to mention the last part... I won't say anything more, don't do it."

Xiyue silently put down her raised hand: "I'm just celebrating my birthday, and I'm really 24 years old."

"If you say so, then so be it." The emperor coughed. He had just subconsciously caused trouble.

And while the noise was going on, Gumi had quickly used candles to make a new number 24. Although the hole left by the candle made the cake look a little less beautiful, it was still better than the previous one.

"It's not worry-free at all." Xiyue sighed helplessly, clapped her hands, and put a gentle smile back on her face, "Okay, let's continue."

--------------

"Gumi's cooking skills are pretty good." Xiyue sat on the sofa, eating various desserts in small bites, "Thanks for your hard work."

"Try what I made." Nengtian used a fork to stick a small piece of apple pie into Xiyue's mouth. "I also put a lot of effort into it."

"Okay, okay." Xiyue ate the apple pie that the Angel of Exorcism had put in front of her mouth with a bit of helplessness on her face. "It tastes pretty good, but maybe it's been a little too long, so it's not very delicious."

"Then I'll make you something new tomorrow at noon." The Angel of Exorcism was very happy and sat back to eat the apple pie in her hand. "It's just an apple pie. I can make it for you anytime."

Xiyue smiled and said, "Thank you, but you should wait two days after eating this meal."

"It doesn't matter when we eat it, right?" The Archangel ate the apple pie in his hand bite by bite, "Don't worry about it~"

"I feel that if it weren't for the halos on your head." Kong looked at the halo of the Angel of Exorcism and glanced at the wings of the Angel of Exorcism, "As an additional energy consumption, your weight would have exceeded 200 by now, right?"

"How is that possible?" Exia rolled her eyes at Sora, "Even if it's really my halo and wings that helped me consume more energy, that's still my ability~"

"Okay, stop making noise." Xiyue looked at the noisy people with a smile, "Eat, eat."

--------------

"Okay, are you full?" The emperor put down the plate he had just finished eating. "Now, it's time to give out gifts, another highlight of today's birthday party."

The emperor took out a small jar with exquisite packaging from behind him and handed it to Xiyue: "Come here, Lao Wei gave you this, the best tea, which is an extremely rare treasure even in Shangjing."

"Isn't it too expensive?" Xiyue looked at the teapot handed over by the emperor, "I can't accept it."

"Hey, although Lao Wei looked distressed, he still gave it to you without hesitation." The emperor put the teapot back into Xiyue's arms, "According to him, if you don't want to accept it, he can say that this is both a gift for you and a reward for helping him kill the snake last time."

"In that case." Xiyue nodded. Since that's what she said, she couldn't refuse anymore. She put away the teapot and planned to find time to make some tea and taste it.

As for now, I have eaten a lot today, so it is not good to drink tea, and I can't taste the flavor. Tomorrow, I can eat something light and slowly savor the flavor of this pot of tea.

"Then it will be mine." The emperor walked aside and pulled open the black cloth covering it, and an exquisite phonograph appeared in front of Xiyue.

"What is this?" Xiyue looked at the phonograph and then at Dadi, "Boss, the LP you gave me is not yours, right?"

"Of course." The emperor nodded and pointed to the cabinet on the table under the phonograph. "Your boss's complete set of collectible vinyl records, as well as some of the other vinyl records I have collected."

“Life is all about experiencing music. To enjoy music is to enjoy life.”

"Are you enjoying the music?" Xiyue nodded to the emperor with a smile on her face, "I understand."

I was thinking to myself that I would have to find some time to talk to the engineering department and ask them to help improve the sound insulation in the room. Otherwise, it would be bad if I disturbed others when I played the vinyl records.

"Then it's mine~" Kong also came over at this time and handed over a large gift box, "This is a complete set of care and maintenance kits for this year's students."

"I haven't even finished the ones you gave me last time." Xiyue took the gift box which was a bit too big for the maintenance supplies, "I don't know when I will be able to use this one."

"Take your time~" Kong sat down next to Xiyue and took her arm, "Girls should take good care of themselves."

The Angel of Exorcism at the side touched her head. Why did she feel as if Kong's words were a stab to her?

——————Yan State, Gouwu City, Huiqi Mountain——————

"Xi! Xi!" Nian walked among the mountains and forests, holding a big loudspeaker. His voice was constantly heard from the loudspeaker, shouting, "Your sister is here to see you. Don't hide anymore. Your sister is here to play with you."

But after a long time, there were only the sounds of birds and animals chirping around, and no one responded.

"Oh, what a hassle." Nian turned off the loudspeaker and put it into her body. This thing was just something she had just forged.

"Xi, don't hide anymore." Nian shouted calmly, "Your sister is here to play with you. Don't worry, this is a good thing, absolutely a good thing."

"I'm definitely not inviting you to eat spicy hotpot, nor am I inviting you to make a movie, really!"

But the surroundings were still extremely quiet, and even the birds and beasts that had been there before were all driven away by Nian's shout.

"Really?" Nian shook his head helplessly. "Your sister came all the way here and you won't come to see her?"

"Really, nothing comes out at all." Nian shook his head helplessly. After thinking about it, he took out a firecracker from his pocket and lit it.

——————Studio in the painting——————

In the slightly dark studio, Xi was painting the landscape with a brush, paying no attention to Nian who was making trouble outside.

Bang bang bang! The sound of firecrackers came from the motorcycle, making Xi's hands tremble suddenly, but fortunately she was prepared in the shower, so the painting was not ruined.

The corners of Xi's mouth twitched as she watched Nian lighting firecrackers everywhere outside the scroll. Fortunately, Nian still had some sense and did not let the forest catch fire.

Xi frowned: "What is this guy trying to do again?"

Outside the painting, as if he felt that his act of lighting firecrackers had attracted attention, Nian started to shout again: "Xi, Xi! Your sister is here to play with you, are you really so rude? Give her some face."

"I guarantee with my reputation that it is definitely not a bad thing."

Xi curled her lips as she listened to Nian's words in the painting. Guarantee with Nian's reputation? Even if she was extremely sleepy and about to pass out, she would not believe it.

Xi simply waved her hand to block out any sound outside the scroll, and then continued to paint her own picture peacefully. There was absolutely no way she would move today.

——————Beyond the painting——————

"He won't come out." Nian scratched her head in embarrassment. If Xisi was hiding in her painting, she seemed to have no particularly good solution.

It’s not that she couldn’t use an extra-large special firecracker to blow up the scroll directly, but she came here to find her sister today, not to cause trouble, and who knows how many layers of scrolls Xi had set up here.

"Forget it." Nian shook his head as he looked at the silent forest around him. He was afraid that he no longer had any credibility in front of his sister. It seemed that he had to find some external help, otherwise his sister might not come out at all.

With that in mind, Nian will not stay here. Xi will not come out if he stays here anyway, so he might as well leave first and go to Rhodes Island to find a trustworthy foreign aid, or...

Chapter 161: Medical Practice Organization

"Hmm~" Xiyue opened her eyes in the sunlight coming through the window. Feeling the pressure on her chest, Hong, who looked like she was sleeping soundly, lowered her head and lay on her chest.

Ever since Hong started living with her, she would often sneak up from above her in the middle of the night and sleep with her. Sometimes she would sleep obediently beside her, and sometimes she would sleep on her chest like this.

Xiyue reached out and touched Hong's head: "Don't pretend, I noticed that you moved, you can't sleep in~"

"Um..." Hong immediately opened her eyes when she heard Xiyue's words, looked up at Xiyue, and obediently rolled over to the edge of the bed.

"Good boy." Xiyue stretched out her hands, sat up from the bed, and touched Hong's head again.

——————Rhode Island·Medical Department·Lounge——————

Xiyue held Hong's hand and pushed open the door of the lounge. "Good morning, everyone."

Javier turned his chair and looked towards the door: "Hey, Doctor Xiyue, why are you working overtime again today? Didn't you celebrate your birthday yesterday? Shouldn't you take a day off?"

Javier came over and patted Xiyue on the shoulder, "Congratulations, you're another year older, but Doctor Xiyue, you didn't even invite us to join you."

"I'm sorry~" Xiyue bent down slightly, making it easier for Javier to put his hand on her shoulder. "But Dr. Javier, why are you alone?"

"Hey, it's just a small matter." Javier patted Xiyue's shoulder vigorously.

"Neither of us have shifts scheduled tonight, why don't we go have a drink?"

"Drinking, are you sure?" Xiyue looked at Javier strangely. It was not like Javier had never drunk with her before. On the first night she arrived, Javier had dragged her to the welcome party.

Of course, Xiyue was not talking about the problem of drinking capacity. Even at that welcome reception, Xiyue did not deliberately get everyone drunk to show off her drinking capacity.

He just showed an average drinking capacity of a Liberian, maybe even a little less than that. Xiyue was worried about something else.

Because if Xiyue remembered correctly, Gavial did not have an evening shift today, but Gavial was supposed to work the day shift tomorrow.

"Drink less~" Javier released his hand from Xiyue's shoulders and patted her lower back. "With your alcohol tolerance, I can knock out three of you. That's enough. Just treat it as a make-up birthday party."

"It's better to drink less." Xiyue smiled, "After all, we both have work to do tomorrow. Drinking too much is not good for our health, nor for tomorrow's patients."

"Okay, okay, you're right." Javier looked at Xiyue helplessly. She was not one of those races that couldn't drink, so it would be okay if she drank less.

However, after Xiyue said this, Javier gave up the idea, considering the possibility that he might get drunk while drinking.

"What a bummer." Javier muttered softly twice, then pulled out his chair and sat down to eat his unfinished breakfast.

"Well." Xiyue laughed twice and walked to her workstation and pulled out a chair. Hong also slipped over and pulled out her own chair. She opened the drawer under Xiyue's desk with ease and took out snacks from it.

"Oh, by the way." It seemed that because he had finished his meal, Javier was in the mood to chat again. He turned his chair and looked at Xiyue, "Xiyue, do you know? A letter doctor came last night~"

"Hmm?" Xiyue turned her head and looked at Jiaweier with a strange look on her face. "Faith Doctor? Oh, you're from the Faith Doctor Association, what's wrong?"

"You really are not surprised at all." Seeing that Xiyue didn't seem to have any special expression, Javier was a little disappointed. She had thought Xiyue would be more surprised.

"What's so surprising about this?" Xiyue took out a teapot from her clothes, poured a full cup of tea into it, and skimmed off the foam.

"I heard from my boss a long time ago that the Xinyi Organization was born on this land because of me." Xiyue picked up the teacup and took a sip. "And if you're talking about Xinyi, you can actually be counted as one of them. I saw the blue feather in your drawer."

"Well~" Javier shrugged, "After all, Miss Xiyue, your name is really useful. Many villages and mercenaries believe in your name. You have to pull up this free flag."

"Oh, I suddenly remembered that I came to Rhodes Island to pull down your flag for medical treatment." Xiyue seemed to suddenly remember something, and her face became a little helpless. "In the end, I didn't have the chance to pull down your flag, but you seemed to have been pulling down my flag for a long time?"

"The Great Doctor of the People~" Gavial waved his hand, "If you put on a blue feather and have medical skills, you can call yourself a Christian doctor. This chess piece is really too convenient to talk about."

"But then again, it's a little interesting." At this point, Gavial suddenly remembered something, "According to our investigation, the Xinyi Organization is quite interesting. It's obviously a relatively loose organization, but up to now, there haven't been any scandals in the entire Xinyi Organization."

Xiyue raised her eyebrows: "What do you mean?"

"That's exactly what it means~" Gavial shrugged. "There is no negative news, no negative rumors. Any letter doctor who chooses to wear a blue feather on his head is a serious doctor."

"This sounds even weirder." Xiyue looked at Javier with an even stranger look in her eyes.

"It's not like there haven't been such spontaneous organizations formed by medical practitioners in the past." Gavial looked at Xiyue and explained, "Because everyone knows the hardships of practicing medicine."

"So before, there were many medical organizations formed spontaneously by medical practitioners to help each other and increase each other's influence, but this is where the problem lies."

"Because most of the religious doctors are walking in the wilderness, there are few contacts between them. Most of them only hear about their deeds and then forget about them, which leads to many people impersonating others."

"The same is true for the mercenaries and villagers. They can't tell which one is the real doctor and which one is the fake one. Those who accept it usually cheat the doctor out of medical expenses and then find a place to go far away. They don't care whether they cheat a lot or a little. They are all fake."

"…" Xiyue understood after hearing this and said, "Then a problem arose. The reputation of the medical practice declined, and the mercenaries began to distrust the practice of medicine."

"It's OK for those who are caught in the act, but those who are not caught will just take the medical fees and go on living happily. And the doctors are caught in another cycle of proving themselves and then being destroyed by others."

"That's about right." Gavial nodded. "Then for a long time there were no medical organizations. If there were any, they were only in a small area."

"I have never heard of any national or transnational psychological organizations like before, except for Miss Xiyue's Xinyi Organization now."

"There hasn't been a single scandal. Everyone is working hard to build up the reputation of Xinyi, and I've never heard of any problems."

"To be honest, this is not a rare problem, but it is almost impossible."

"Is that so?" Xiyue nodded, "That's great."

Gavial looked at the smile on Xiyue's face and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Yes, that's great. The medical practitioners in this land finally have a better medical practice environment."

"Hello, is this the medical department's lounge?" A weak voice, which sounded as if it was about to turn away, suddenly sounded.

"Yes." Xiyue turned to look at the door of the lounge, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

——————Rhode Island·Medical Department·Physical Examination Room——————

Huafarin looked at the report in his hand with a strange look, "Your physiological tolerance and defects are better than you."

Huafarin looked at the report in front of her. Based on her experience, with this kind of physical condition, a fever caused by a cold could develop into a severe high fever, and even take the person's life.

So Warfarin was very puzzled as to how a person with such physical fitness could pass through the wilderness unscathed. When did the wilderness of Terra become so friendly to humans?

"Miss Xuyu, I'm sorry, I'm just curious. I just really want to know how you managed to get through the wilderness."

"I have my own method." Xuyu responded to Warfarin in a weak voice, "After I told them I was a doctor, everyone was quite friendly."

"One time, someone gave me this blue feather." Xuyu touched the blue feather stuck on her hairpin. "After I put on this feather, even the vicious mercenaries treated me well."

"Oh." Warfarin glanced at the blue feather hairpin.

This kind of thing is rare. Even in Rhodes Island, they still have a lot of such decorations. After all, Xiyue's chess pieces are really useful.

As for Xiyue herself, if Xiyue didn't always go to the slums of the mobile city for medical treatment, it would be the same, and she might even enjoy better treatment.

I can only say that Xiyue's flag is very useful in the wilderness, but in the mobile city, it is used to treat the infected? So what.

A famous doctor? If you are willing to join my mobile city, we will open all convenient doors for you. If not, then there is nothing to talk about.

What? You want to come to my free clinic, fine, but pay a deposit to ensure that the infected people you treat won't cause trouble. What? Why is it so expensive? You're in charge of me. If you don't pay, then you'll be blamed.

"By the way." Warfarin stamped the report in his hand. "Can I ask, Miss Xuyu, why do you want to join Rhodes Island?"

"Because I heard that..."
