……

Along the way, Bai Ye witnessed many bizarre operators and behaviors, which the Sarkaz girl beside her stopped one by one. Her tone remained calm, without impatience or reprimand.

"Are you a member of the disciplinary committee?" Bai Ye found the receptionist quite interesting and couldn't help but strike up a conversation with her.

Yes, aside from stopping the operators' outrageous behavior on the road, the receptionist next to Bai Ye showed no intention of actively communicating with him.

"Disciplinary Committee members?" The girl tilted her head, her short white hair falling down from her ears. "That's a good idea, it might lighten the workload of the logistics staff. However, the power of the disciplinary committee members needs to be supervised, and it would be best to recruit some righteous idiots to serve in that role."

Bai Ye blinked: "You seem quite suitable."

"No, you're joking. I'm not suited for this position; it's too much trouble."

Through conversation, Bai Ye learned that the reason the child wasn't angry was because he found it troublesome to get angry... No wonder he's an operator from Rhodes Island, he's so unique.

However, Bai Ye soon realized that having her by his side was actually a good thing, because the reason why no operator had come to chat with him along the way was thanks to the girl.

The whispers of the wind told Bai Ye that some operators, attracted by her appearance, wanted to approach her and strike up a conversation, but were turned away by this young receptionist.

They all seemed somewhat afraid of the angel lady beside Bai Ye.

“You’re really different from the average Lateran,” Bai Ye couldn’t help but retort.

“Yes, I just think my kinsmen are too noisy,” the girl complained.

Bai Ye couldn't help but chuckle. It was truly a rare and amusing story that a Lateran would complain about the noise of other members of his race.

Because "explosions" are considered a part of "culture" in the hearts of Laterano people, used to express joy and celebration. In the past, players preferred to settle in Laterano cities, and as long as they obtained honorary citizenship, they could enjoy rights similar to those of Laterano people to a certain extent.

For example, as long as there is a permit and approval, one can play with explosives and art in the city, with considerable freedom.

Some players who tend to be confused particularly like this.

“The meaningless chaos and explosions are not conducive to the development of our race. In fact, I think our people have been too comfortable for too long, too deeply entangled in pleasure and enjoyment, and have forgotten the nature of suffering on this land.”

"Besides, they're a lot of trouble..."

The girl's expression turned serious for the first time. She looked at Bai Ye and said in a solemn tone.

Then, she stepped forward and got closer to Bai Ye, raised her head, and stared at him with her azure eyes.

Bai Ye saw his own reflection in her clear eyes.

"If you officially join Rhodes Island, you will definitely follow the operator manual and not cause unnecessary trouble for the logistics department, right?"

"You wouldn't want me to get into trouble, would you?"

“Miss Lateran, please tell me your name.” Bai Ye was not intimidated by the girl’s imposing manner; in fact, he quite wanted to tease the child.

"We rarely reveal our real names at Rhodes Island. My codename is 'Typewriter.' If you're interested in joining Rhodes Island, please choose a codename for yourself."

Chapter Three: Physical Examination

Bai Ye didn't really want to use a codename.

He suffers from naming difficulties, and he always feels that his name is actually very similar to a code name.

It's rare for respectable parents to give their children such an unusual name.

His name comes from the orphanage director's astronomical book, which describes a common natural phenomenon in high-latitude regions.

Compared to his fellow orphanage children, his name was quite normal.

Those things like "Liu-Betelgeuse", "Eridanus-Smith", and "Osiris" are more like code names than names—they were chosen too casually.

"What's wrong? Do you need to rest?"

Seeing that Bai Ye was distracted, Typing Girl spoke up to remind him.

Bai Ye was jolted awake from his reverie, somewhat surprised, as he rarely lost focus in formal settings—it was unsafe. Perhaps this time was different because of the special nature of the girl beside him?

In short, Bai Ye did indeed develop an interest in Miss Angel.

However, the most urgent thing seems to be to get a physical examination.

At first, Bai Ye didn't take it seriously, but when he actually entered the medical department and saw the equipment used for physical examinations, he realized that things were starting to go wrong.

The so-called physical examination was not the physical test that Bai Ye originally thought it was. The medical department was not a combat department; the main test was for Oripathy.

Bai Ye didn't believe he was infected—but what if he was?

It's not like he's never dealt with Originium artifacts before...

I didn't pay much attention to defense in Lungmen before, which is a habit I developed as a player in my previous life.

Players will absolutely not contract Oripathy.

As mentioned before, the player's body is not a physical entity, but a highly advanced simulation projection. Any part that leaves the player's body will quickly turn into light particles and dissipate into the air.

Therefore, the external environment actually only has limited interaction with the player, and only simulates some special effects to realize game functions, such as "suffocation", "poisoning", "internal organ failure" and "biological information residue for tracking".

Being cut open by Originium, being exposed to a high concentration of Originium energy field, or inhaling concentrated Originium gas will not cause the player to become infected.

At most, it's because the system triggered a judgment, and applied a debuff that caused continuous health loss.

Now, Bai Ye is no longer the player he was in his previous life; he possesses a real body. He tested it: his blood doesn't turn into particles of light and disappear; instead, it coagulates normally and darkens in color…

"Don't be nervous. There are a lot of infected people on the Rhodes Island itself. Here, infected people will not be discriminated against and will receive effective suppressive treatment," the angel girl, who mistakenly thought Bai Ye was scared, comforted her.

Although the direction of her comfort seemed a bit strange, as if Bai Ye was already infected.

"I'll probably... be fine?" Bai Ye instinctively felt like he was setting a flag.

The physical examination consists of imaging tests, blood tests, and fusion rate tests.

The basic principle of Oripathy is the erosion of the body by Originium energy. Originium crystals will appear in the body of the infected person, and tiny Originium particles will enter the human circulatory system and spread throughout the body.

Originium erodes the body's cells, replacing biological flesh, blood, organs, and tissues, and slowly erodes the body's vitality in the form of crystals.

Most infected individuals who die naturally eventually succumb to organ failure.

Of course, natural death seems to be a luxury for those infected; unnatural death is the norm for them on this land.

Bai Ye was first taken to a machine similar to an X-ray by medical personnel, where she took a contrast agent and then underwent imaging tests.

This gave Bai Ye a sigh of relief.

"The imaging results show that the individual's internal organs have clear outlines, no abnormal shadows are seen, and no abnormalities are found in the detection of Originium particles in the circulatory system. There are no signs of Oripathy infection. At this stage, the individual can be confirmed as a non-Originium-infected person."

After a period of waiting, the medical staff delivered the results to Bai Ye.

The subsequent test for the "fusion rate of somatic cells and Originium" was also normal, with a healthy value of 0%.

However, during the last test, the [Blood Origin Stone Crystal Density] test, Bai Ye encountered a special situation.

The medical officer in charge of drawing blood from Bai Ye looked at the report in his hand, hesitant to speak, as if he had seen something strange.

After a moment of silence, the operator walked up to Bai Ye and apologized, "I'm sorry, there was something unusual in the last test. I suspect there was a problem with the equipment. Could you please test it again?"

Bai Ye wasn't angry. He nodded with a smile: "No problem. Abnormalities are inevitable, I understand—but could you tell me the specifics of the last test?"

Perhaps it was because of Bai Ye's unexpectedly kind attitude, coupled with the high level of approachability brought by Bai Ye's own charm, that the medical operator, who kept apologizing, secretly gave Bai Ye the test results.

Bai Ye glanced at the data: [Blood Origin Stone Crystal Density] 0u/L

Ta-da! (Traditional Arts)

No wonder the medical officer thought there was something wrong with the equipment.

The air in Terra contains trace amounts of Originium, which is unavoidable because Originium has long been integrated with this land and incorporated into the circulatory system, making it inseparable from it.

Therefore, even healthy individuals will inhale trace amounts of Originium over time.

Even the Agor people, who come from the deep sea isolated from Originium, will produce trace amounts of Originium in their blood after a period of time on land. However, because the contact time is too short, the concentration is frighteningly low.

But no matter how outrageous it is, it's not as outrageous as "Day and Night".

He lived in Terra for more than a week, frequently came into contact with spellcasting units, and even ventured into the underground industrial layer, yet his body contained not a trace amount of Originium.

Based on the medical staff's understanding, the only possibility is that the equipment is malfunctioning.

Bai Ye wouldn't naively agree with this viewpoint.

He is an anomaly, and any unusual phenomena that occur in him are not simply coincidences or accidents.

Just then, the terminals in the pockets of the medical operator and the Lateran operator who was in charge of receiving White Night in the room suddenly beeped.

Bai Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, the weapon in his inventory almost falling into his palm. In his previous life, he had heard rumors about Rhodes Island's ruthless nature, and players had described it in great detail.

Therefore, Bai Ye instinctively became wary.

The two operators were unaware of Bai Ye's well-hidden killing intent. They opened their terminals to check the messages, and then the typist looked up at Bai Ye and said, "Don't worry, the messages here have been blocked. The results of the last test have been uploaded to the database by PRTS and encrypted."

"PRTS has informed me that I will take you to Dr. Kal'tsit's office."

Please rest assured, there's no need to worry; your situation is not unique.

Chapter Four: The Giant Beast Was Actually Myself (4k)

"It doesn't seem to be a machine malfunction."

Bai Ye smiled at the two people in the room, simultaneously suppressing any dangerous intentions from his mind. He had almost rushed out just now—he had already imagined himself being dissected as an experimental subject.

However, it seems that the outcome wasn't as bad as he had imagined?

Rhodes Island's efficiency exceeded his expectations. Players from his previous life knew too little about Rhodes Island; the company was hiding much more interesting things.

This oversight served as a wake-up call for him. He had thought that with six years of gaming experience, he was a veteran gamer and confident that he could control everything.

Unfortunately, he had selectively ignored the fact he discovered on the very first day of his transmigration—Terra was not as simple as a game; it was a complete real world, and the explorations of the previous generation of players were perhaps only the tip of the iceberg.

He should have paid attention to these things long ago, but he ignored them because of the player's inexplicable confidence in the "high-dimensional perspective," and acted recklessly from the first day of his transmigration.

"First and foremost, it was Bai Ye who committed the sin of arrogance."

Bai Ye kept this sentence in mind, and then asked, "Who is Dr. Kal'tsit? Is she your superior?"

“Of course, Dr. Kal'tsit is not only the head of our medical department, but also one of Rhodes Island’s top administrators.” The medical operator in charge of drawing blood looked at her with great respect.

"Even Rhodes Island's noisiest and most mischievous operators become well-behaved when they're around Dr. Kal'tsit; if there were a Dr. Kal'tsit in every corridor of Rhodes Island, the logistics department's work might be a bit easier," the typist couldn't help but complain.

Bai Ye blinked; this idea seemed quite interesting.

The medic imagined the scenario the typist had described and couldn't help but shudder: "Let's forget about it. One Kal'tsit doctor is scary enough, imagine a group of them..."

"Take me there first." Bai Ye took his medical report from the medical operator. The words "[Blood Originium Crystal Density] 0u/L" on it seemed a bit glaring to him.

"I'll take you there."

Typing Girl opened the door to the medical room for Bai Ye.

"Thank you... May I touch your halo and wings?" Bai Ye looked at the glowing parts on the girl's body and couldn't help but ask.

He had always been curious about what angels were like. Angels weren't an option in the player's race list.

Typing Girl didn't refuse, but calmly explained, "Perhaps the result will disappoint you, as Sarkaz's halo and wings of light have no physical form."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to sleep lying flat on our backs."

Bai Ye reached out and touched it, and sure enough, he passed through the wings of light.

"Hmm... I have a slightly strange feeling..." The Lateran girl's expression began to change, and her usually calm tone also underwent an inexplicable change.

Under the meaningful gaze of the medical operator, Bai Ye withdrew her hand.

Typing Girl breathed a sigh of relief and didn't say much. Instead, she led Bai Ye toward Dr. Kal'tsit's office.

"Make way!"

On the way, Bai Ye brushed past a red-eyed girl with long white hair. The girl's eyes glowed red as she rampaged through the medical department's corridor.

"Blood Demon?"

Even in his normal state, Bai Ye's ability to receive information far surpasses that of ordinary people; with just a glance, he had already memorized the girl's features.

Sharp little tiger teeth, pointed ears, red eyes, and excessively pale skin perfectly match the characteristics of the Blood Demon.

The Blood Demon, still in a state of excitement, had her eyes glowing.

Blood Demons in this state are extremely difficult to deal with because their physical functions and strength are greatly enhanced, especially their speed, which is so great that ordinary people can hardly track their movements.

Bai Ye was somewhat dazed, wondering if he had seen things: "You actually let Blood Demon stay in Rhodes Island's medical department?"

Aren't you afraid she'll drain the blood bank dry? It's a buffet, you know...
