Learn one small skill every day

"I'm actually open to anything, do you have any recommendations?"

The Kersner Clinic occupies a large area and has four floors; it is more of a specialist hospital than a clinic, and he has every reason to be proud of it.

Bai Miao now wants to find a place to stay; he can't keep wandering around Yar City every day.

This hunter outfit is also quite eye-catching.

Before figuring out how Yar City operates, Bai Miao doesn't intend to become the target of everyone's criticism.

“There are talented people in every field in Yar City. If you don’t even know what you are good at, then I suggest you find a clinic to be an intern doctor first.”

"Can I take this as an invitation?"

Kersner stroked his mustache and shook his head, saying, "I'm sorry to have caused you such a misunderstanding, but my clinic never accepts people who don't have a medical doctorate, let alone a hunter of unknown origin."

During the conversation, Kesner had already completed his diagnosis of Margaret.

He diagnosed it as a gastrointestinal disease caused by bacterial infection or parasites.

Hospitalization is required.

After the diagnosis was given, the next doctor would naturally take care of the follow-up work, and Ksenia's work was completed.

"Well then, Mr. Hunter, I heard that you also examined Miss Margaret. Could you tell me your diagnosis?"

A faint smile played on Ksenia's lips.

Bai Miao chuckled softly, walked over to Kesner, and whispered, "She's pregnant."

"Um?!"

Kexner was taken aback at first, then threw his head back and burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha!! Hahaha...! This is really... really..."

After laughing for a while, Kexner wiped away his tears: "I'm sorry, I lost my composure. Perhaps you should go back to being a hunter. A hunter's job is to hunt down patients with incurable diseases. It's definitely ten times harder for a hunter to become a doctor than for a doctor to become a hunter."

Ksenia’s words revealed his disdain for the hunter.

At the same time, Bai Miao also learned just how noble a profession doctors were in the city of Yar.

Everyone else avoided the hunter like the plague.

This kid actually dared to mock me to my face.

Are you really not afraid of getting stabbed?

Chapter 169 A Million Echoes

Before figuring out what kind of doctor was in Yar City, Bai Miao decided not to bother with this Dr. Kesner for the time being.

This guy is quite capable; otherwise, people with related illnesses from all over the city wouldn't be sending them to him.

Margaret was clearly from a wealthy family.

"Mr. Hunter, what are you still doing standing here? Do you plan to learn a little from me and then go start your own business?"

Kersner was essentially telling him to leave. It seemed he had initially been somewhat interested in this hunter who claimed to want to be a doctor, but after Bai Miao diagnosed Margaret as pregnant, he suddenly found it rather boring.

That's utter nonsense.

Bai Miao didn't want to make a fool of himself any further; his immediate priority was to find a place to stay.

Back with the driver, Bai Miao asked, "Do you know where I can find apartments for rent?"

"Um... what price range of apartment are you looking for?"

The coachman looked Bai Miao up and down: "Excuse me for speaking frankly, but the cheapest single apartment in Yar City costs ten Echoes a month. If you can tolerate sharing with other people, you can spend only one Bloodstone."

"And... many apartment landlords won't rent to hunters, so you'll need at least a new set of clothes."

Is this city of Yar really discriminating against hunters?

Although people fear hunters, that doesn't stop them from looking down on them.

Bai Miao was very curious as to why hunters held such a status.

They are clearly a group of people with extremely strong physical abilities, yet they can't stand the light of day at all?

Yar's Shadow is a follow-up dungeon to Abyss Street, but whether it starts after leaving Abyss Street is unknown to Bai Miao.

Echoes are a new currency, and they sound more advanced than Bloodstones.

I don't know how many echoes my bloodstone can be converted into.

"Since that's the case... I'm indeed a bit short on cash, could you lend me some?"

"?!"

The driver was inwardly cursing.

You're robbing people in broad daylight, aren't you?

Damn hunter.

"I...I only have one Echo..."

"Okay, give it to me."

The driver shakily pulled a round, red and white coin from his coat pocket.

The material looks no different from bloodstone, but unlike bloodstone, its surface is not covered with sharp spikes that could easily injure you.

The echo felt exceptionally smooth to the touch, with a rounded surface, and when held up to the sunlight, it seemed as if you could see the blood slowly flowing inside.

Using his valuation skill, Bai Miao determined that a large piece of bloodstone he possessed could be exchanged for 200 million echoes.

Bai Miao had more than a dozen of these large bloodstones on his body.

The other bloodstones, while not as large, are still worth around 100 million.

Then there were some scattered small bloodstones.

Okay, so I'm rich after all.

Echoes are actually products made from bloodstone, making them easier to circulate and use. The leftover scraps from processing are called bloodstone fragments. Echoes can be used to pay for items priced in bloodstone fragments, but bloodstone fragments cannot be used to pay for items priced in echoes.

Of course, you should still be able to buy it if you offer several times the value of the Blood Shard.

Replacing Bloodstone with Echo is also a rather troublesome matter.

However, Bai Miao was too lazy to think about that now. With money on him, how could he be stumped by something like exchanging money?

"By the way, you don't seem surprised that I pulled a knife out of my backside?"

"Don't you hunters all have a space on your bodies to store various hunting tools...?"

"If I pulled out a bloodstone block that was about 10 meters in size from inside, would you be scared?"

Bai Miao kept probing the common sense within the city of Yar.

If you don't master these common sense tips, you may find yourself in a passive position.

"This... how many people would have to have been killed to get this big..."

The driver was trembling with fear. In his eyes, the hunter in front of him was talking nonsense and seemed to be in a very strange mental state.

It's possible that he might suddenly stab himself.

"Oh, it's nothing, you can continue with your work."

The fact that the coachman didn't question the fact that he could pull out a 10m bloodstone block suggests that, in their view, the hunter had that much space on him.

With this kind of space, why be a hunter? You could just deliver packages and make a fortune!

Before the streets became too crowded, Bai Miao found a clothing store and explained his purpose.

"You mean you want to buy a new outfit?"

The clothing store clerk, suppressing his discomfort, politely inquired, "What's your budget? The cheapest item we have here costs two Echo Steps."

"I need a top hat, a suit, a shirt, a tie, a coat, trousers, and a cane."

This is the most typical style of the Victorian era.

After hearing Bai Miao's request, the shopkeeper frowned: "The cheapest set would cost close to 15 Echoes. Do you have enough money to pay for it?"

"15 pieces? Isn't it a bit expensive for these to be worth 15 pieces?"

"I still need to clean the store now. Our store does not serve customers who do not have a high level of appreciation."

The waiter was quite decisive and decided to kick them out immediately, without any intention of bargaining.

"Boom!"

Bai Miao walked into the street, took out the smallest piece of bloodstone, and casually placed it on the ground.

Although it is the smallest, its diameter still reaches 5 meters, occupying half of the street.

The guy's eyes widened in disbelief.

If this piece of bloodstone were processed, it would be worth at least tens of thousands of resonances!

Bai Miao only showed the bloodstone to the man once before taking it back.

"You are truly the most discerning customer I have ever met. Whatever price you say it is, that's what it is!"

"Then give me two sets of your most expensive clothes, free of charge, no problem, right?"

Would you rather get something for free?

The fellow didn't utter a single word of objection and enthusiastically began measuring Bai Miao's dimensions.

"Our best outfits here cost around 600 echoes for two sets, but I can give them to you for free! However, you'll need to leave your name and address. Our boss would love to get to know a generous hunter like you!"

Do you have a particular favorite pattern or fabric for clothing?

Bai Miao shook his head.

The waiter quickly ran into the inner room and brought out several coats for Bai Miao to choose from.

It took Bai Miao about ten minutes to select both outfits and then walk into the dressing room.

When Bai Miao emerged from the changing room again, he had transformed from a down-on-his-luck hunter into a wealthy young man with a melancholic air.

His sunken eye sockets became a sign that he had seen through the world's splendor, while his pale face was a testament to his indulgence after becoming wealthy and carefree.
