14 Deception (1/2)

Dark clouds loomed on the horizon before night fell.

”The acid rain is coming. Let's hurry back home,” Ren Xiaosu said with an impassive expression. The woman was still crying and shouting, but no one cared about them.

The man did not look like he had suffered the injury due to an accident. Ren Xiaosu could easily tell that it was a knife wound, so he was sure that the man did not accidentally get injured at the factory but was killed in a fight.

When they got back to their shack, the acid rain came and went just as quickly.

Yan Liuyuan suddenly said as he sat on the bedroll, ”Bro, you want the sincere gratitudes of other people, right? Being a doctor seems like it's an easy way to gain more gratitude. In the past when the old doctor was still around, everyone was always very grateful to him. But I don't suggest you become a doctor. First off, it's very easy for a doctor to get stuck in a dilemma. Second, you don't have any medical skills.”

Ren Xiaosu turned around and looked at Yan Liuyuan with an expressionless face. ”Then what the hell are you blathering about!”

Wait a moment!

Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt that he had missed something. Although he did not have any medical skills, he could learn them!

The two Skill Duplication Scrolls awarded by his mind palace were still available. By using one of these scrolls, he should be able to learn another person's medical skill, right?

At that time, he could start seeing patients, or at least be able to treat Yan Liuyuan or himself if they fell sick or got into accidents.

When the old doctor was still around, he would often go out to gather medicinal herbs. Back then, the old doctor had smilingly mentioned to people that even though the beasts were more powerful in the current day, the medicinal herbs had also become more effective.

Thus, the old doctor successfully treated many people with his skill in identifying the different types of medicinal herbs and having excellent medical skills. Furthermore, he even sold the medicinal herbs that he gathered at a dirt-cheap price.

But of course, Ren Xiaosu was not as kind as the old doctor. He only felt that if he should possess such good medical skills, he could better deal with future emergencies, as well as making money on top of that!

Usually, Yan Liuyuan would suffer a cold, headache, or fever as a consequence of making a wish. Even though he did not want Yan Liuyuan to face these side effects, what if they were forced by circumstance?

”I'm going to be a doctor!” Ren Xiaosu said as his eyes shone with an unwavering determination.

”Bro, are you alright?” Yan Liuyuan was stunned. ”It's not like you have any medical skills, so please don't cause deaths. Although we don't know how to save people, we shouldn't harm them either.”

Ren Xiaosu feigned a slap upside Yan Liuyuan's head. ”You always have so much to say. When have I ever initiated harm upon others?”

Ren Xiaosu was making some calculations. If he became a doctor, he would definitely profit and earn a stable income.

As the people in town often got injured, going to the doctor for their injuries had become a necessity.

He proceeded with his plan immediately. The next day, Ren Xiaosu did not go to school when he awoke. After scarfing down two bites of black bread, he went and crouched at the clinic's door and waited for it to open.

In the end, the clinic opened late. Ren Xiaosu waited until the afternoon, but the clinic still remained closed

In the afternoon, when the stronghold's clock rang to signal that it was 2 PM, the young doctor leisurely opened the door from the inside and stretched himself under the sun. But before he could stretch his entire body, he was startled by the presence of Ren Xiaosu, who was crouching at the entrance.

”Are you here to see the doctor? And did you bring any money?” the doctor asked.

The doctor did not even bother asking what illness Ren Xiaosu was suffering from. All he recognized was money.

Ren Xiaosu said with a grin, ”I'm not here to see the doctor. Please carry on with whatever you were doing.”

The doctor was dumbfounded. 'If you're not here to see the doctor, what are you doing squatting at my front door?'

Ren Xiaosu silently used one of the Skill Duplication Scrolls in his palace.

He saw the Skill Duplication Scroll made from leather parchment spontaneously combust and instantly burn to nothing.

”One of the target's skills will be randomly copied.

”Randomly copied target's bragging skill. Do you want to learn it?”

Ren Xiaosu was dumbfounded on the spot. Why would I learn bragging?
