Chapter 108 Marine Hot Spring Comprehensive Sanatorium (Part 4)
A look of shock immediately appeared on the dolphin's face.
"You don't know? There's a miracle drug here. Once you drink it, you'll never be hungry again, and you'll never feel pain again."
"Aren't you a caregiver here? Don't you drink?"
Mingzhao suddenly felt a little embarrassed, as if he had asked a very stupid question.
"Of course I don't need to drink it, I'm not injured."
The dolphin shook its head.
"The miracle drug isn't just for relieving pain. After drinking it, you feel refreshed, sleep soundly, and don't even need to eat. It's said to cure all diseases and enhance the potential of living beings."
"Don't you caregivers have a fixed quota every month? I've heard that quite a few people become caregivers specifically for this reason."
"You really should try it, or you'll have lived in vain."
The dolphin patient talks a lot, and Mingzhao doesn't know which parts are true.
That [Deep Sea Mother Worm Nutrient] looks so strange, she wouldn't try it.
However, the fact that it said caregivers had a fixed monthly allowance piqued Mingzhao's interest.
This is something any caregiver should know; the dolphin wouldn't lie to her about this.
If this is true, why does Maomao never queue up? She doesn't even know the answer.
The mysteries surrounding Mao Mao have only grown.
The other patients didn't talk much, just politely chatted about the weather, daily life, and so on.
The eighth patient was a seagull, but it was so small that it was almost impossible to tell it was a bird anymore.
The pair of wings had turned into a large mass of tentacles.
However, it didn't seem to care much about it, and seemed to have gotten used to the large mass of wriggling tentacles.
It would also preen its tentacles with its beak from time to time, just like a bird preening its feathers.
However, the mouth is too short to clean the tentacles completely.
Its care mainly involves cleaning its tentacles.
Mingzhao imagined the mass of tentacles as a large clump of octopus tentacles about to be grilled on a teppanyaki grill, which is why she managed to hold back from spitting it out.
After she had cleaned all the tentacles, the seagull suddenly called out to her.
Perhaps Mingzhao was unusually easy to talk to today; this not-so-outgoing creature finally spoke.
"Caregiver, I feel some discomfort in my leg. Could you please take a look and see what's wrong?"
As it spoke, it stretched out its two legs from the tentacles on its abdomen.
In Mingzhao's memory, this seagull always used its tentacles to support itself with a cane, and there was also a wheelchair in its room.
After its feathers were replaced by tentacles, it became very heavy, and its two thin legs could hardly support its body.
Upon closer inspection, Mingzhao noticed that its leg was already red and swollen.
The joints, in particular, are very swollen and look very painful.
Her toes were also worn down, exposing the bright red flesh. Mingzhao felt a phantom pain in her.
"Have you been walking on your feet lately? Didn't I tell you to try not to put your feet on the ground?"
The seagull immediately raised a bunch of tentacles from its wings.
"No, my legs hurt so much, how can I walk?"
This is strange, as the wounds on its toes are still oozing tissue fluid, and it looks like they only appeared yesterday at the earliest.
At this moment, Mingzhao suddenly remembered the procession he had seen in the middle of the night on the first day.
The first one in line, and the shortest one, seems to be this seagull.
Back then, it didn't use crutches or sit in a wheelchair; it walked on its own two feet.
They make such a loud noise when they walk, no wonder its leg was so badly injured.
Mingzhao took out iodine and alcohol and treated the wounds on its legs and feet.
He asked the question as if it were unintentional.
Have you been sleeping well at night lately?
The seagull shook its tentacles.
"It's great. Ever since I drank the magic medicine, I sleep soundly until dawn every day, and when I wake up, I feel like the whole bird is better."
"This medicine is really good, nurse, you should try it too."
Mingzhao: "Are you sure nothing strange will happen tonight?"
Seagull thought for a moment, "Oh right, there really is something. Lately, a lot of dust appears in my room every morning, and it seems like many other patients are experiencing the same thing. They say it's from the wind, but it never appears during the day."
Mingzhao finally understood.
The procession we saw on the first day, moving forward under the moonlight, was indeed made up of these patients.
But for some reason, they themselves have no memory of this period.
According to Haiou, all of this seems to be related to drinking that miracle drug.
Having finished her tasks for the day, Maomao once again brought news that she had completed her daily mission.
Mingzhao was able to enter the hot springs for training once again.
This time, the water element particles finally broke free from the constraints of the membrane and diffused outwards.
Mingzhao sketched out the planar pattern of the ice cone from the intermediate water magic she had long memorized in her mind.
Unlike beginner-level water magic, intermediate-level water magic does not have a learning order based on difficulty.
The patterns of intermediate water magic are very complex and vary greatly from one another.
Learning each new subject requires starting afresh.
The reason Mingzhao chose Ice Spike first was because it is the most offensive of all intermediate water spells.
Currently, she lacks a close-range attack method that is easier to control.
Secondly, she received the blessing of the ice and snow elves, and with her mastery of temperature control through alchemy, learning this spell was far easier for her than others.
Two hours later, the shape of the icicle had begun to take shape.
Mingzhao discovered that the hot spring around him had frozen over, but the ice was still very thin. After he stopped the spell, it immediately melted in the hot spring.
In another two days, I estimate I'll be able to master this spell, which will give me a better chance of winning against the company's enemies.
That night, Mingzhao fought off sleepiness and stayed up until midnight when he heard the sound of orderly footsteps.
Stepping out of the room, the moon, just like last time, hung high and full, illuminating the entire earth.
Here, it seems completely unaffected by rhythms, with moonlight shining equally on every moment.
This time, Mingzhao was already familiar with the physical characteristics of each patient and could basically recognize everyone in the team.
The seagull was the first in line, its tentacles particularly active under the moonlight, waving rapidly and eagerly towards the moonlight.
Its slender legs supported its enormous body as it plunged heavily into the earth.
It looks painful.
Dolphins, who usually don't walk, were now standing upright, supporting themselves on the ground with their lower abdomen and tail.
Each step was taken with all one's might, producing a tremendous sound.
Mingzhao recalled the numerous tiny wounds on its abdomen and tail when she cared for it.
What force could possibly make them endure the discomfort and still line up to move forward?
What was it about those rocks on the beach that attracted them to their destination?
Just then, a leisurely voice suddenly sounded behind Mingzhao.
She didn't even notice that someone was behind her!
