Chapter 22-22- Medical Commission
"Civilization will continue..."
Yvette muttered the name, thought for a moment, and decided to immediately begin hacking. On the one hand, she wanted to see if the Society for the Continuation of Civilization was genuine or a scam. On the other hand, she also figured the website's servers probably held a wealth of information, perhaps offering something for free.
But unexpectedly, the hack was prevented shortly afterwards.
Unlike the outdated static rule set firewall of the Blackwater Police Department, this website is a dynamic defense and has very few vulnerabilities that can be continuously exploited. Sometimes, after finally breaking in, the abnormal access path will appear for less than a second and the credentials will be revoked.
This gave Yvette the feeling of being in a fast attack and defense, and the opponent was extremely powerful and had a "breathing" feeling. He was less like an AI and more like a top rune hacker.
After a brief moment of thought, Yvette decisively abandoned the attempt. Normal system hacking was like playing chess with a dead person, but this time, it felt like there was a living person sitting across the chessboard. It was completely different. Although she had used a springboard, fake addresses, and traffic obfuscation as a disguise, there was no guarantee that the enemy wouldn't catch on.
She didn't want to be called through the Internet.
…
Putting aside for the moment the "Society for the Preservation of Civilization", a mysterious organization with unknown origins but top-notch anti-hacking capabilities, in order not to alert the enemy, Yvette lived a relatively quiet and peaceful life for more than a month.
On the welding gun side, the sales of Arcane Wind Blade were in line with expectations. Except for one package for personal use, the remaining four packages had all been sold out and were all bought by the same local gang leader.
Selling the remaining four copies would mean receiving 200,000 yuan, which would bring Yvette much closer to the 500,000 yuan "Elemental Decay Complementation Technology".
However, since there was nothing to do and in order to prepare for certain areas in the future, that morning, Yvette added the work number of her neighbor Reg Hoffmann according to the contact information left on the business card.
"Good morning, Mr. Hoffman."
"Good morning, Miss Sheen, is there anything I can help you with?" Regel said in surprise when he saw Yvette on the holographic screen.
Having moved in a month ago, Reger, his wife Susan, their eldest son Hans, and their youngest daughter Mary have become quite familiar with their "cousin" neighbors, Yvette and Rosalyn. Occasionally, when they pass by them in the corridor or meet them on the street downstairs, they will greet them warmly.
Because of their similar ages and interests, Rosalyn, Hans and Mary are already very familiar with each other and can be considered good friends.
Although cousin Yvette doesn't look very old, her style of doing things is surprisingly mature and she doesn't seem like a child at all. So when they chat with her occasionally, Regel and Susan will subconsciously treat this silver-haired girl as their peer.
"Well, Mr. Hoffman, I've had some free time lately, so I've read some books on 'potions' and have developed a strong interest in medicine. I'd like to ask if you could give me some guidance, or allow me to observe some treatments," Yvette said. "Of course, I'll pay a reasonable tuition fee."
In addition to rune compilation, professional knowledge in the field of rune medicine is the second largest reserve here at Yvette. After all, the most common books in the Abyss Base are professional books in the field of rune medicine, and many of them are even internal secrets of the Black Tower.
But she didn't need it when she escaped from the predicament, so she read it but didn't learn it seriously.
Although magical machinery and energy storage are still her primary research directions, it doesn't hurt to digest the rune medicine knowledge that she read hastily in the past when she has free time. She will need it sooner or later anyway.
"This..." Reger obviously didn't expect this to happen. He hesitated, "I'm sorry, Miss Sheen. It's not that I don't want to teach you, but I don't have a teaching qualification certificate. And even if I did, this must be conducted in a professional educational institution..."
"Just let me watch. 20,000 credits a month. What do you think?"
"Twenty thousand..."
Regel swallowed his saliva. He was actually practicing medicine without a license. The residents of the Wright Apartments and the old customers near Acid Street were all well aware of this. Therefore, his charging standards were particularly low. Among doctors of the same level, others had a monthly income of around 70,000, which was a completely middle-class level, but he only earned less than 20,000.
Just by letting this little girl follow along and observe the process, you can more than double your monthly income!
Even if there is a risk of illegally disseminating knowledge, this risk is totally worth taking!
Besides, he didn't even have a medical license, so he didn't have to worry about the debts. Furthermore, his patients would keep his secrets...
He made a self-deprecating remark and then said, "Okay, Miss Xien, from now on, I will send you a message every time I make a visit or every time a patient comes to see me. Is that okay?"
"Yes, thank you very much, Mr. Hoffman." Yvette nodded.
…
In the afternoon, a customer came to Hoffman's clinic. He seemed to be suffering from tinnitus and came to see a doctor and seek medicine.
Yvette immediately walked to the Hoffman family's small clinic nearby. While watching, she was also warmly received by Mrs. Susan. Although she was here to study, the small table next to her was filled with snacks, and it looked like she was here to enjoy herself.
However, Yvette understood Mrs. Susan's mentality. She probably treated her as a big money sponsor.
She remembered that their children, Hans and Mary, were both attending Black Tower Middle School, a top-tier elite school. Tuition there was 300,000 credits per year. Even if Reger worked tirelessly and Mrs. Susan worked part-time, they would still be burdened with exorbitant student loans and even more dreadful interest. Their quality of life was worse than that of the lower-income residents of Blackwater District who earned only 4,000 to 5,000 yuan a month.
Therefore, it is undeniable that this understanding is one of the reasons why Regel was suddenly asked to do such a study.
After observing the treatment for a while, Yvette saw Rosalyn walk in directly from the door. After politely greeting her, she did not interrupt Reger's work and asked, "Teacher, Aunt Susan, are Hans and Mary here?"
"They both went out this morning. Do you want to play with them?" Susan said kindly.
"Yes." Rosalyn smiled sweetly.
Counting from the day she traveled through time, until today, she had just made friends who could be playmates for the first time. Their personalities were very compatible. In addition, she had nothing to do during this period, so she treated it as if it was summer vacation. She would go out for a stroll with Hans and Mary whenever she had time, and she had a very happy life every day.
"Wait, let me take a look..." Susan turned on the magic terminal and started a subscription-based family security service, which allows parents to know the real-time location of their children and quickly call the police when they encounter danger.
After watching for a while, she said in surprise, "They seem to be on Scrap Metal Avenue... about five kilometers from here. What are they doing there?" She paused, a little annoyed, "They called and didn't answer! These two kids!"
Scrap Avenue is an old neighborhood with a decent safety factor. It's lined with shops, so the chances of an accident are low. Furthermore, the alarm hadn't sounded, and unilaterally hanging up the phone is a standard rebellious child's behavior. But as a mother, Mrs. Susan's face quickly shifted to one side, showing concern.
She said to herself, "Is he in danger?"
"Don't worry, Aunt Susan, everything will be fine. I'll go and help you now." Rosalyn said. After confirming her gaze with Yvette, she immediately went downstairs and called a taxi to Scrap Avenue.
