Chapter 109 Marine Hot Spring Comprehensive Sanatorium (Part 5)
Would you like to join them?
The sudden sound was completely different from the gentle sound during the day; it sounded ethereal and eerie.
A chill ran down Mingzhao's spine.
"How could that be? They walk so hard, they wouldn't even know if they got hurt. Besides, I have to work during the day, I need to get a good night's sleep."
Mao Mao stared into her eyes for a long time.
There seemed to be no indication that they were lying.
"That's good. Just don't violate the employee handbook."
After saying that, he quietly returned to his room.
As soon as she returned, Mingzhao collapsed instantly, his pajamas soaked with cold sweat.
Mingzhao's perception ability had long surpassed the limits of human beings, yet she was completely unaware of Mao Mao's approach.
Mao Mao's strength is unfathomable; Ming Zhao feels that his understanding of her is only the tip of the iceberg.
She could be very patient and friendly at times, but just when you start to trust her a little, she can reveal a terrifying side.
Maomao, the patients, the employee handbook, the daily tasks, and that unknown thing by the sea.
If you figure out who she can trust, that should be enough.
Currently, it seems that since Mao Mao always tells her to abide by the employee code of conduct, it means that these two things should be one and the same.
The employee handbook states that patients should not believe what they say.
This indicates that the patients and they are on the opposite side.
The patients seemed to admire things from the seaside, which should also be on the same side.
As for daily tasks, there doesn't seem to be any clear trend yet.
We'll have to wait for another opportunity to see the true purpose of this instance.
On the morning of the fifth day, Mingzhao saw the notice board.
Daily task: Have lunch with the patients.
Upon seeing this task, Mingzhao's face turned pale.
Having lunch together means she's going to drink [Deep Sea Mother Worm Nutrients] with them.
No, she would never drink that kind of miracle drug that sounds terrible just from its name.
Should the patients come over and eat regular meals with them?
That doesn't seem realistic either.
Given the ocean dwellers' obsession with the nutrients of the deep-sea mother worm, there's absolutely no way they would give her that opportunity.
However, if they give up this mission, they will be unable to go to the hot springs to train.
We don't know if anything else bad will happen.
When Maomao saw that Mingzhao wasn't eating and instead kept looking in the direction of the line to collect [Deep Sea Mother Worm Nutrients], her voice became stern again.
"Don't you want to eat? Do you want to take your medicine instead?"
Mingzhao quickly waved his hand.
"Of course not, it's just..."
Seeing her troubled expression, Mao Mao seemed to understand something.
Is it a daily quest?
Mingzhao was shocked that Maomao would bring up this topic on her own initiative.
Previously, she would only tell her whether her daily tasks were completed at the end of each day.
At other times, when Mingzhao went to the bulletin board to check the daily tasks, she acted as if she didn't care at all.
Therefore, Mingzhao always thought that Maomao was an NPC with a fixed pattern.
Performing daily task settlements every night is part of her routine.
Now it seems that things are not as simple as she imagined.
"Yes, my task today is to have lunch with the patients, and I really can't think of any other way."
After thinking it over, Mingzhao decided to risk revealing the mission.
There is no rule that says she shouldn't tell her daily tasks to the supervising caregiver.
Moreover, there are no secrets to today's mission, and telling you won't reveal anything.
Mao Mao glanced at the patients queuing up.
"Don't think about it anymore, I'll handle this. You should hurry up and finish your work today."
It's still early before lunch, so there's no point in worrying now.
After finishing her meal, Mingzhao continued to complete her nursing duties for the day.
The patients I cared for today were basically the same as yesterday.
Without any mission requirements, Mingzhao tries to ignore patients as much as possible. Even when she has to reply, she only gives them a few perfunctory words.
However, today she carefully observed the patients' bodies.
Comparing the walking postures observed last night, it was discovered that most patients had developed some minor wounds.
They just don't seem to be afraid of pain at all, nor do they seem to care about it.
When Mingzhao cleaned their wounds with alcohol, they didn't even blink.
When it was lunchtime, Mingzhao arrived at the restaurant and found that Maomao had not yet arrived.
The patients had already lined up in twos and threes, waiting at the window to receive their miracle drug.
Mingzhao became increasingly anxious.
She didn't think these patients would still be interested in having lunch with her after receiving the miracle drug.
She didn't know when Mao Mao would arrive, so she had to come up with a plan herself first.
Just as Mingzhao was deep in thought, a commotion suddenly broke out at the restaurant entrance.
The patients waiting in line were all peering out of the door.
Then, Mao Mao came to the window, clutching a skinny sea turtle.
I knocked on the window.
"Number 12 is in possession of contraband; today's quota of the miracle drug is cancelled."
A collective gasp immediately rose from the surrounding area.
Mao Mao said seriously.
"Any future violations will be handled according to today's rules."
The patients looked at each other, none of them daring to speak.
They obediently went to the window to queue, and the originally loose queue immediately became neat and orderly.
"You'll be having dinner with us today."
As she spoke, Mao Mao forcibly dragged the sea turtle, which was several times larger than herself, to Ming Zhao's table.
The harsh accusations against her were perfectly natural and would not lead anyone to believe that she was doing so for Mingzhao's mission.
Even Mingzhao himself had some doubts.
The sea turtle sat down at their table with a gloomy expression.
Mingzhao led him to the window to get water to cook the seafood.
The sea turtle looked at the seafood feast with disdain, picking and choosing several shells.
Mingzhao didn't care about that; the mission was simply to have lunch together, and how much they ate didn't matter.
However, the people eating together looked gloomy and sighed from time to time, which was really disgusting.
But Mao Mao wasn't so accommodating.
She took a huge lobster from her plate and put it on the turtle's plate.
"Eat it quickly, or your evening dose of the miracle drug will be canceled too."
Under duress, the sea turtle had no choice but to start eating the food on the plate.
However, it would occasionally glance at the person in the group who had obtained the divine medicine, revealing a drooling expression.
However, under pressure from Mao Mao's tyrannical power, it did nothing.
As lunch was drawing to a close, Mingzhao noticed that the sea turtle was becoming increasingly restless.
It would occasionally scratch its legs with its forelimbs.
Sea turtles walk upright using their hind limbs at night, so their hind limbs have many small wounds.
It scratched me for ages, and my whole leg was covered in red welts.
Mingzhao suddenly felt that this symptom was very similar to painkiller addiction.
This also explains why their eyes light up when they see the miracle drug.
Having gone through this mission, Mingzhao felt that Maomao's side had gained the upper hand.
It seems that there is no problem with following the employee code of conduct.
However, the stance behind this daily task is worth examining in more detail.
