Learn one small skill every day

"Madam, I feel that your statement is biased. As a professional in this field, let me explain from a legal perspective."

"First, there's the existence of the door. The door doesn't belong to any known organization or individual, so we can consider it a natural disaster. Once inside the door, the life of the person knocking is threatened in the instance, meeting the conditions for emergency avoidance. But everything must still prioritize the life and property safety of the person knocking in reality."

"Does studying law make you lose all humanity? Does that mean the people in the dungeon aren't human anymore?"

Seeing this online argument, Bai Miao decisively chose to shut down the internet.

Out of sight, out of mind. Don't let me catch you in the dungeon.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: I Am a Security Guard

Zhao Ling was easier to find than expected. Bai Miao simply asked an official and obtained information about Zhao Ling's identity.

He used to work as a sales clerk in a shopping mall in Hecheng, but after becoming a door knocker, he quit his job and joined the local official organization in Hecheng.

That means she's now considered an official, but the authorities always separate personal opinions from the organization's ideas.

Zhao Ling's words only represent her own thoughts and do not represent the official opinion of Hecheng.

Bai Miao didn't find this strange at all. It was the early stage of the emergence of the gate, and the authorities definitely needed a lot of manpower. They would not refuse anyone who was willing to join, let alone someone like Zhao Ling whose background was relatively clean.

As long as no crime is committed, the authorities have no reason not to hire people.

"You'd better be wary of Zhao Ling. If she continues with this mindset, she might betray our own people for the sake of those in the instance."

Bai Miao had no way to deal with Zhao Ling for the time being, so he could only issue a warning.

"We can just talk about this amongst ourselves in Jiangcheng... People in Hecheng will probably think we're meddling. I asked around, and Zhao Ling is quite lucky. He's already a veteran who's gone through five dungeons, has He-level items, and is somewhat well-known among the knockers in Hecheng."

As the team leader, Shan Chengtian immediately established information sharing with the official knockers of Hecheng after the two sides communicated, and learned a lot about Hecheng.

Bai Miao is also asking him for advice.

"Shouldn't we tone down her momentum?"

“We’re already putting pressure on them, but you know there aren’t any big shots like you in River City, so there’s not much of a gap between us…”

"All right……"

He had said enough, and he couldn't possibly rush to the river city area overnight to kill the man.

After all, she was still considered a member of the organization.

Judging from future letters, I will most likely encounter a situation where I am in the same copy as her.

Let's deal with it then.

After the 100-day countdown, apart from the official team absorbing and digesting the information provided by Bai Miao and actively responding to possible future changes, the daily lives of the rest of the people did not change much.

Bai Miao will soon be the subject of the next instance.

"I'll try my best to be of some use this time. Just let me know if you need me!"

Just before the countdown ended, the little witch sent a message.

"Ah."

The scenery suddenly changed, and Bai Miao found himself in front of an abandoned building, with a door resembling an operating room standing in the ruins.

A red light was flashing on the door frame.

[Time has stopped outside. Please enter the gate within 10 seconds.]

The same prompt appeared in his mind, and Bai Miao gently pushed open the door and entered.

[Loading copy: Aoyama Hospital]

[Number of players in the instance: 5/5]

[Instance Objective: Achieve hospital revenue targets or work in the hospital for thirty days]

[Introduction to the case: Qingshan Hospital is a private hospital known for its advanced medical technology and services. During its operation, it was always crowded with patients seeking treatment.]

As a hospital employee, your income and bonuses are directly related to the hospital's revenue.

[In this instance, the Knocker's online communication function is temporarily disabled. Knockers cannot communicate through the Knocker's network, but they can still use functions such as the inventory.]

[Instance Start]

No... it's starting already?!

Where's the hint?

Before Bai Miao could figure it out, his vision blurred and he found himself in front of an enamel cup filled with yellowish tea leaves, steam rising from the rim.

[Skill selection required?]

smoke!

Congratulations on acquiring the skill: Bone Setting Technique

[Bone Setting Skill LV1: You have a thorough understanding of the human skeletal structure and can reposition misaligned bones]

It really is related to the hospital.

Bai Miao looked around and found himself in a very small room with only one small window, through which he could just see the corridor outside with its incandescent light bulbs.

The walls of the corridor were white, and the air smelled of disinfectant.

Where are my teammates?

Bai Miao didn't see anyone in the corridor. His room only contained a table, a bed, a wardrobe, and other furniture.

The wardrobe was locked, and there was a landline phone on the table. Next to it, a note was carefully protected on the table with transparent tape.

"Nurses' station phone number...Dean's office phone number...Emergency room phone number...Cafe phone number...Security office phone number..."

There are five phone numbers listed above.

Does that correspond to exactly five people?

This time, there are 5 players in the instance, and here are 5 phone numbers...

The communication function of the Knockers network has been shut down again.

So, in this instance, the way the knockers communicate is through this phone call?

Looking down at his own clothes, Bai Miao confirmed his identity.

security guard.

This saves us from taking sixty years of detours.

The crisp black security uniform and the baton hanging at his waist spoke volumes about the glorious profession Bai Miao was currently engaged in.

The other four people should be a nurse, the hospital director, a doctor, and a cook.

Bai Miao felt around in his pocket and found a set of keys with a small device that looked like an access card attached to them.

Bai Miao looked at the grooves on the key and found the wardrobe key.

Upon opening the wardrobe, there was a brand-new blue security guard uniform and a long riot fork.

There was also a note thoughtfully pasted on the inside of the wardrobe door.

【巡逻时间：凌晨1:00-5:00；下午15:00-19:00

Patrol checkpoints: 4th floor nurses' station and inpatient department of Qingshan Hospital, 5th floor director's office, canteen warehouse.

Remarks:

1. Patients in the inpatient ward prefer quiet. Please do not make loud noises when passing by. If you find that a patient has been awakened, please go to the nurses' station for help.

2. Please check if the daily food inventory in the canteen warehouse matches the purchase order. If there is a discrepancy, please notify the chef.

3. If you encounter someone seeking help during your patrol, please take them to the morgue next to the security room for the night. During this time, please do not respond to any of their words.

4. Sometimes emergency room doctors will call you for help. Some patients are not very cooperative, so please help to subdue them. Please change into a black uniform before going to the subdue area.

5. Please clock in on time. Except during patrol hours, do not leave the basement level unless you receive a call from the doctor.

6. Meals will be delivered from the kitchen to the entrance of the basement level three times a day. Please make sure the other person has left before picking up your food, and do not appear in their sight.

Bai Miao felt a chill run down his spine after reading the contents of the note.

I'm a security guard, but why is my security booth right next to the morgue?

What the fuck...

Bai Miao read the note several times to make sure he had memorized it all. Then he picked up the phone on the table and prepared to call each person to confirm the information.

Bai Miao was certain that others would also have a note like his, with instructions on what they needed to do.

This is why no warnings are given before entering the instance.

You have to find it yourself!

This might be a dungeon that really tests teamwork skills...

It's even possible that if there are casualties in the early stages, it will be difficult to complete the mission.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Clocking In for Work

When Bai Miao picked up the phone, he discovered a fatal problem.

There is no telephone line.

But Bai Miao still stubbornly dialed the nurses' station, and unsurprisingly, there was no response.

"On my first day as a security guard, I have to figure out how to fix this phone?"

Oh right, what time is it now?

A rough time immediately came to Bai Miao's mind.

10:20 am.

That means there are still several hours before the patrol starts.

Bai Miao knew there wasn't much he could do for the time being, so he either wandered around the basement to see what was outside, or he carefully analyzed the contents of the note to see how many traps it contained.

Bai Miao first searched the room thoroughly to make sure he hadn't missed anything before tearing the note off the wardrobe and sticking it together with the note with the phone number for easy reference.

Bai Miao felt that the first requirement—not to make too much noise—could be completely ignored.
