Chapter 17 Level 5

Not only Ovi was satisfied with Wen Le's words, but everyone else was also extremely excited after hearing them. Having guesses in one's mind and hearing Wen Le say it in person are two different things.

"So, we don't have to fight ourselves if we get injured in the future?" One of the bearded men said excitedly. Now he finally understood why everyone wanted to know a therapist. There were so many benefits.

Although they knew there were therapists before, they felt so distant and unreal. Now that they have a therapist around them and they are the beneficiaries, they are suddenly excited. It's like the balance in an account; having it in someone else's account and having it in your own account are two completely different feelings.

Wen Le's scalp felt tingling under the stares of everyone, and Jin Cancan also curled up into a ball in his arms. She always felt that these people's gazes were too eager and scared her.

Wen Le patted the little thing's furry head comfortingly and gave these people a heads-up in advance: "But I can't make medicine yet, and I don't know if I can learn it..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted: "Young Master, please don't say such discouraging words. If others can learn it, we can definitely learn it too. It's just a matter of time."

Hearing this, Wen Le touched his nose. What else could he say now that things had come to this? He could only sit there silently holding the little thing and listen to everyone talking about the future.

But there was no need for Wen Le to speak. Although he was now a healer, his foundation was too shallow to have any say. He was at best a mascot, pampered and fed, but forget about anything else.

Wen Le did not comment on this. As long as it did not touch his bottom line, he would let these people do whatever they wanted.

Anyway, his mental strength is limited. If he is unhappy, the worst that can happen is that he just quits. Who can do anything to him?

Wen Le remained silent, and the others showed no interest in letting him participate. They discussed the matter until midnight, but ultimately, no conclusion was reached. Wen Le, sleepy and yawning, sat by the side. As for the little one, he had long since fallen asleep in Wen Le's arms, belly up, snoring blissfully.

Seeing that no one could come up with a useful solution for the time being, and that they had to go out hunting tomorrow, Ovi asked everyone to go back and rest.

After everyone had left, Aowei suddenly asked Wen Le, "Where did you get this little thing?" Although the little thing had hidden the "king" character on its forehead, and Wen Le had claimed it was just a pet cat, this could only fool those who had never left the safe zone. Aowei couldn't keep it a secret.

When Ovi asked this, Wen Le was startled and all his sleepiness disappeared. He hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "I don't know. I found it in the sand when I was digging for sandworms the other day."

The safe zone is so small that you can’t deceive people by telling lies.

Ovi frowned and said, "Go get it a pet license next week, otherwise it will be a problem sooner or later if you keep it around."

Originally, he didn't want Wen Le to keep a pet because he hated the hassle. But then he thought, after all, he had to give the child some face, and having a pet was a kind of deterrent. So he told Wen Le about getting a pet license.

Besides, it was not something he could stop, so he might as well do a favor.

Besides, Wen Le felt a pang in his heart when Aowei asked him this. He knew that the little thing was still too eye-catching. He thought to himself that he must be more low-key next time he went out.

Seeing that Wen Le understood everything, Ovi was satisfied and said, "I'm leaving." Then he put on his rat skin robe and left.

…

A week later, Ovi and Wen Le went to Area B again, along with several other team leaders. This time, they used the credits they earned from selling the squirrel skins to buy an E-grade energy stone the size of an adult's fist, and Wen Le used the rest to buy healing potions.

Because of his status as a healer, Wen Le spent a fortune on two bottles of E-level hemostatic potion at the Healer Association, spending a total of 3,000 credits. This was after the staff gave him a discount.

Wen Le held the two soft capsules filled with medicine, feeling heartbroken. Just these two capsules cost him three months' living expenses. It was really a steal.

It was a shame that such an expensive item was still in short supply. As soon as it was put on the shelves, it was snapped up like it was free. Wen Le was only able to snag two pills thanks to his status as a therapist.

As expected, therapist is a very promising profession. Wen Le sighed in his heart.

"How's it going?" As soon as they saw Wen Le come out, several people who had been waiting anxiously rushed over and surrounded him, asking impatiently, "Did you buy it?"

Ovi was relatively calm, unlike his fellow men who were impatient. He walked over and pulled Wen Le out of the encirclement, whispering, "This is not the place to talk. Let's find a quiet place to talk."

As he spoke, he glanced around, and in a moment someone noticed them. There were so many people here, it was really not a place to talk.

The other people understood and secretly blamed themselves for being so stupid as to forget to be so cautious.

A few people quickly shook off the people following them and entered the station, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Without waiting for anyone to ask him, Wen Le quickly opened his clenched palms and revealed the capsule hidden in his palms.

Everyone's breathing suddenly stopped, and then they became excited. Fortunately, they remembered that they were outside and couldn't be too ostentatious, so they controlled their emotions and didn't cheer out loud.

Although Ovi was not as excited as his men, his eyes were surprisingly bright, with a hint of ambition flashing in his eyes.

Wen Le placed the capsule in Ao Wei's hand, then opened his computer and pulled out the electronic bill for him to see: "These two pills cost a total of 3,000 credit points. Here's the bill."

Ovi knew the prices of medicines on the market. The price reported by Wen Le was obviously 10% lower than the market price. He glanced at the three words "discounted price" clearly written on the electronic bill, and couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion in his heart, thinking: I have really picked up a treasure this time.

After returning, Wen Le clearly felt that his treatment in the safe zone had improved. He had just been getting by before, but now he seemed to be taken seriously. The most obvious difference was that he had enough food and water every day, and Wen Le no longer had to worry about it.

This kind of treatment is unprecedented in the safe zone.

…

I don’t know how Ovi and the others promoted it, but almost half a month later, people began to come here at the risk of their lives from other safe zones.

Most of the people who came here were looking for medicine for their injuries. When they found that they couldn't buy any, they stayed overnight and left the next day. More people came here for medical treatment, so Wen Le started to get busy.

The patients who came to him were mostly seriously injured. Because his current level was too low, he had to dig out the dead flesh from the patient's wound and then cast healing spells twice before the wound could heal. For injuries that were rotten to the bone, it would take several days to heal. As a result, these patients had no choice but to stay here, and their accompanying family members had to stay with them.

These family members are also strong people. They will go out hunting with the people in the safe zone and pay for medical treatment with gray squirrel skins.

There are also some generous patients among these patients. For example, the family of a patient who lives near a garbage dump directly gave him a modified dune motorcycle, which makes hunting much easier.

If you encounter a swarm of rats again, just ride your motorcycle to get rid of them. You don’t have to escape on foot like Wen Le and the others did last time.

Everyone in the safe zone, including Wen Le, was captivated by this motorcycle. Every man loves cars. Wen Le even tried to ride it for a spin, but his legs were too short to climb on.

After trying for a long time and finding that he couldn't ride it, he didn't want to lose the man and simply gave the motorcycle to Ovi.

Anyway, the car would just be a decoration if he kept it, so he might as well do it a favor and give it to Ao Wei to put it to good use, even if it could just bring back one more gray squirrel. But the others were envious.

Aowei did not accept it in vain. The next day he went to Area B to buy Wen Letao a set of protective clothing. Although this suit was not as expensive as a dune scooter, it was practical.

…

As the number of patients increased, Wen Leye's proficiency gradually increased. In order to level up as quickly as possible, he would sit down or lie down to meditate whenever he exhausted his mental energy. This was the method he found that best suited his mental energy recovery.

Once his mental strength recovered, he would immediately perform healing magic on the patients. Every day, except for eating and resting, he would treat the patients.

Ovi was afraid that he would get tired, so he specially appointed two young men with nimble hands and feet to be his assistants.

With these two people, Wen Le handed over all the miscellaneous work to them, such as scraping the dead flesh from the patient's wound. He no longer had to do it himself. He just needed to focus on performing healing techniques on the patient. This greatly improved his efficiency and gave him some time to breathe.

That day, Wen Le finished performing his final healing spell. Just as his mental energy was depleted again, the long-lost electronic voice of the system rang in his ears: "Host's proficiency has reached 500 points and can be upgraded."

Wen Le suddenly became excited. He used the excuse of needing a rest to send his two assistants away, and quickly opened the system interface and clicked on the upgrade.

After the upgrade, there is an additional medicine cauldron icon on the system panel. Below the medicine cauldron is a progress bar, and the actual proficiency is zero.

This progress bar is separate from the healing skill. The system tells Wen Le that if he wants to upgrade in the future, he must reach the maximum level of proficiency in both healing skills and medicine making, and his mental power must be upgraded.

The system was afraid of discouraging the host's enthusiasm, so it specifically told Wen Le that the system mall had been opened and rewarded him with 500 proficiency points and 1,000 credit points.

Only then did Wen Le notice that a shop had suddenly appeared on the system panel.
