Poseidon in Arknights

"Eh?"

Even with her eyes closed, Yuuki opened them and turned around: "Exusiai, your aura is simply not suited for stealth."

As Yuuki spoke, she flicked the head of Exusiai, causing a dazzling halo to appear above her head.

"Stay put." Texas was about to get out of the car when Yuuki stopped her.

"Go check the back of the train. I kept one for you, in case they didn't take any extra."

Texas turned to look at Yuuki, who was simply holding Fashang and smiling at her, without offering any explanation. It seemed she wanted Yuuki to see for herself.

Texas closed the car door, went to the back of the car, climbed through the window, and found a bag hanging on the wall.

"Is this it? I didn't notice it before."

Although they would come to the trunk to get boxes before, it was always the police officers who would unload the boxes and crawl inside themselves, and then the women would carry them.

As for Hong, she genuinely didn't notice the bag hanging there that time.

Texas removed the bag from the hook, and the hook turned into water and disappeared.

'Did Yuuki leave this here specifically?'

Texas opened the bag and took out three test tubes containing green liquid and a piece of paper.

This is a very effective healing potion. Don't be surprised by the color. I have prepared three bottles for everyone. Of course, don't expect too much from its effects. Its healing effect is limited to flesh and blood. So if you have a broken bone, please drink it as appropriate.

P.S.: Of course, there's no need to save it. The potion's effectiveness only lasts until 9 PM at most, so there's no need to conserve it. Also, please be sure to pay attention to safety.

This is why potions have their advantages. Although spells are simpler, Xiyue still has to watch them before using them, while potions can be given to others directly.

"A doctor? Indeed, not a single rumor can be wrong."

Texas put the potion into her pouch, recalling that when Red Diamond entered the box, Yuuki seemed to have slipped something into her hand.

Texas looked up, ready to leave, but noticed words written in water on the wall.

"That's why I'm a doctor. Since I participated in the mission, isn't it my duty to ensure everyone's safe return?"

Texas smiled. "Yes, it's your duty as a doctor to ensure people return safely."

After grabbing his weapon, Texas went into the building next door. Although it was a bit old-fashioned, it was indeed the best way to break in.

———Inside the train carriage—

"So we're just going to have to wait here?" Exusiai kept fiddling with the gun in her hand, which of course had its magazine removed.

"Otherwise what? Are you expecting me to sneak around like a human flashlight? This time the objective isn't a raid."

Xi Yue opened her eyes, rubbed her eyes, and turned to the two of them, saying, "Don't worry, everything is going very smoothly, both ways."

"Oh, wait a minute. How did you know?" Croissant picked up where Yuzuki left off, but suddenly realized something and stared at Yuzuki, who looked inexplicably tired.

"It's going smoothly on both sides. In the end, it's probably just a bunch of thugs." Yu Yue pinched the bridge of her nose, while waving her other hand indifferently.

"Oh, I see." Croissant nodded, and looking at the exhausted Xiyue, she turned around and took out a small tin box from her bag.

"Tiger Balm, to wake me up?"

"It's not that I want to sleep, nor that I'm tired, it's just that I'm not used to it."

Croissant heard Xiyue's words, raised her hand and glanced at her watch: "Not used to it? It's not that late, it's not time to stay up all night yet, and we probably ate hot pot even later last time."

“It’s not a matter of staying up late.” Xi Yue shook her head and then closed her eyes again. “Anyway, we don’t need to worry about those sides. They’re all progressing smoothly.”

The ten visions that Xiyue had severed the moment he opened his eyes were instantly reconnected.

I'm really tired of watching, but I can't just ignore it. It should be ending soon, right?

As a doctor, how could I possibly ignore everyone? The medicine is reliable, but it has its limits, and it's a bomb after all. If it were discovered and detonated, it would be a huge problem.

It's still more reassuring to see it like this, even though it's tiring.

"Hmm, has the Guard Bureau taken care of things? That makes things much easier." Yuuki dismissed the six water clones that had been sent out to follow, but left one clone behind for each of them to keep watch.

"Hong, things are progressing smoothly here too."

-------

"Old Li, be more careful next time."

"Come on, Liu, you wouldn't even notice if you saw it," a police officer sitting by the wall, clutching his back, replied irritably.

"Too bad I didn't encounter that. What would I have been hurt by if I'd been hiding in the closet?"

"If you act like a jerk again, I'll beat you up. What about the others? Have they been dealt with?"

"It's resolved. You're probably the only one who got hurt. I hope you've already settled this major life event." Officer Liu looked at Officer Li, who was sitting by the wall, with a mocking expression.

"roll!"

"Okay, okay, my mistake. By the way, that Penguin Logistics guy, uh, Xiyue, didn't he leave us some medicine?" Liu saw Lao Li preparing to throw his dagger at him, so he quickly raised his hands in front of him, backed away, and apologized.

"You mean that? It's useless." Old Li put down the dagger when he heard Liu's words and took out a test tube containing green liquid from his waist bag.

If they were injured in battle, they might just drink it without a care in the world, but now that the battle is over, they're just waiting for the other groups to come in and clean up the mess.

To be honest, they were a little hesitant to drink the potion in their hands, which had a strange color and could even glitter in the dark.

"Forget it, if we keep dragging this out, it might really delay our chances of finding a wife." Old Li looked at the medicine, gritted his teeth, and figured that Penguin Logistics wouldn't harm them. He opened the stopper and drank the medicine.

Immediately afterwards, an itchy sensation came from the wound. Old Li looked down and saw that the area around the bloody hole pierced by the dagger was slowly wriggling and healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

???

When I type a question mark, it doesn't necessarily mean I have a problem; it could also mean I think you have a problem.

Old Li held up the empty test tube to his eyes: "Holy crap, this thing is amazing?"

Officer Liu, who was watching what was happening, also stepped forward and touched the spot where the blood hole had been.

"Do you feel it?"

Officer Liu had seen this kind of magic that could quickly regenerate flesh and blood, but these magic spells usually only regenerated the flesh, without the nerves. Although it could save lives in critical moments, it was not good in the long run.

"You're making it really itchy. Okay, stop touching it. This isn't the kind of emergency treatment you've seen before. It's very itchy and a little painful right after regeneration. As for the internal organs, you need to get them checked out."

"If even internal organs could regenerate perfectly..."

Old Li didn't continue speaking. That was enough. If this medicine could really regenerate flesh and blood while also ensuring the regeneration of nerves and organs.

For them, this medicine is a life-saving miracle drug, and that assessment is by no means an exaggeration.

"This matter needs to be discussed with the superintendents."

———Guards Bureau·Plaza———

Standing on the high platform in the square, Chen shouted to the police officers gathered below: "We have once again thwarted the enemy's plot and safeguarded the safety of Lungmen. No one was injured in this operation. We have won a great victory!"

"Oh!!!"

Exusiai, who was standing at the edge of the plaza, yawned: "Today is so boring. I thought there would be a big fight."

"Then, if the other side sets off a bomb and blows the whole building up, even if we survive, the Great Emperor will make a sharp, loud explosion, and the repair costs could wipe out at least 50 years of our future salaries."

After Exusiai and her group cleared out that stronghold in Texas, they naturally took a look and saw the bombs that had been placed in the sewers and piled up.

If that pile of stuff were to explode, it would at least shatter the surrounding piping system and cause the buildings above to collapse.

The repair costs would probably be so high that it would be better to sign a contract of servitude to the emperor.

Exusiai, after Croissant's comment, also showed a look of lingering fear: "Uh, you're right."

Yuuki, who was petting the red-haired girl, smiled without saying a word as she watched the two looking worried. Actually, even if Exusiai couldn't stand the loneliness and rushed over, it wouldn't matter. The bomb could explode. Yuuki wrote her name backwards.

You should know that she specifically set up ten different viewpoints to follow all the personnel involved in the operation, which exhausted him immensely.

If it weren't for the concern that the water clone's low intelligence might lead to inaccurate on-site judgment and an inability to react directly, she would never have done such a thing.

After all, those ten views were really dizzying to look at.

"Xi Yue, I have something I want to discuss with you." At that moment, Swire walked over with a document in her hand.

"whats the matter?"

"Take a look at this first." Swire handed over the document in her hand.

Xi Yue took the document and examined it carefully: "A medical examination report. Hmm, from my perspective, they are quite healthy. Giving them this document is definitely not because I'm judging their health. Let me guess, someone has been taking medicine, right?"

Swire nodded: "That's right. He was stabbed by a thug hiding in the closet, the kind that leaves a bloody hole. After drinking your potion, he regenerated perfectly, even his internal organs."

"That's great, no one was hurt in this operation."

Swire nodded: "Perhaps not in the future. Do you have any plans to sell medicine? Price is negotiable."

"Of course, but as for the price, there's no rush." ​​Xi Yue thought for a moment, but couldn't think of a price to set for something that she could produce almost entirely on her own without any loss.

"Ahem, first of all, let me tell you about its drawbacks. If you already have a fracture or bone injury, do not use it, as the regenerating flesh may cause further damage."

"No medicine is perfect, and those that can achieve this level of perfection are extremely rare."

"Another problem is storage. This medicine will decompose on its own until it becomes ineffective, a process that takes about eight hours. It also takes half an hour to make."

Swire thought for a moment: "If we can't store it, we'll just make it on the spot. Anyway, it usually takes more than half an hour to prepare to leave. I'll just give you a call and have someone come up and pick it up."

Seeing that Xi Yue was about to say something, Shi Huaiya raised her hand to interrupt: "One potion costs 50,000 Lungmen coins."

Chapter 32: Leisure Time

Upon hearing Swire's offer, before Yuuki could even say anything, Exusiai, the spendthrift, and Croissant, the money-grubbing, already had their eyes light up.

Xi Yue reached out and pressed the two restless people down, smiling at Swire: "There's no need to give so much. This potion is very cheap for me, or rather, it's free."

She could easily make the water herself to create the potion; a jar of water was just a matter of a thought. As for the magic array used for refining, although it was a one-time use item, it could be mass-produced with a little time.

It's worth mentioning that although it's called a magic circle, which sounds very sophisticated, how should I put it? As long as you know how to draw it and your hand is a little steady, even a three-year-old could draw it.

Moreover, no special materials are needed; you can draw on the ground with a stick without any problem.

According to the system's data, the adventurer's association over there seems to have printed this magic circle on paper in bulk and sold it at a very low price.

Perhaps in that world, this skill is popular among adventure teams because it only requires a little time to learn and has extremely low cost, yet produces relatively good results.

Oh, right, this skill seems to be quite difficult to learn over there. It's not only the domain of mages and alchemists, but it also requires a high level of skill from the user. However, for Xiyue, who possesses the system, it's not a big problem.

However, Yuuki was also quite curious. With such an excellent skill, although the skill description said it couldn't compare to a proper potion, Yuuki's experience with it was really good.

I wonder just how terrifyingly effective the legitimate medicines over there are, that they haven't been completely replaced by this skill.
