Chapter 4: This young master possesses extraordinary talent and holds dual positions

An Qian, however, insisted on not giving up, sending several ingots of gold and silver, forcibly stuffing them into Yi Yun's hands

Iyun smiled faintly: "Alright, let's save the person first. I cannot just stand by and watch a beautiful young girl in danger; that is simply not the demeanor of a 24-hour home security guard."

No matter how fast one travels on foot, it is still not enough, unless there is a high-level Taoist priest who possesses the ability to fly and traverse the earth. Otherwise, how could one possibly make a round trip to Chongqing city in such a short time? The poison acts quickly, and there is no time to endure until then

"This is a first-degree venomous insect. Without a first-degree 'pharmacist,' we cannot detoxify. " An Qian said calmly, "Now, I need to cut off one of your legs while the venomous blood has only reached your thigh. If we wait any longer and the venomous blood reaches your abdomen, it will be too late to cut off your leg, and you will only be able to watch yourself die. Do you want to keep your life or your leg?"

Speaking of which, this world really resembles a game, with professions, skills, and even casting times appearing, how peculiar. Yi Yun turned her mind around, could it be that I have entered a game? Oh well, it doesn't matter, since I am here, I will make the best of it. Whether this place is a game or reality, another world or Mars, it is all irrelevant; if I take it too seriously, I will lose.

The concept of "casting time" is a fundamental theory understood by any gamer. Almost all game settings are the same in this regard: during the casting time, the character cannot move; any movement will result in a failure of the cast.

Indeed, after holding the pose for ten seconds, the green bar above her head disappeared. A green light flickered at the tip of Yiyun's finger, and then Xiaoyun's body also began to glow with green light. Enveloped in the green light, the wound on Xiaoyun's leg started to change from black to red, and the black lines crawling up her leg began to slowly fade away. Clearly, the deadly poison within her body was dissipating.

An Qian nodded at her, then with a serious expression said: "You thoughtless little girl, how can the first thing you do upon getting up be to daze off? Hurry and thank Young Master Yi."

Yiyun felt great joy in her heart, ha, being thanked in such soft and sweet words by a lovely little girl felt quite nice. No wonder the protagonists in television, movies, animations, and comics enjoy the trope of a hero saving a damsel in distress; it turns out there is such a feeling, wah.

When the sand and dust settled, Yiyun focused his gaze and saw a deep pit, three meters in depth, on the ground. At the bottom of the pit lay some black shell fragments and congealed blood, indicating that the poisonous scorpion had been torn apart by the sword energy

After a while, the blood flowing from the wound had returned to its normal red color. She was finally able to speak, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she burst into tears: "Wah... I was so scared... Wah... I'm finally saved... Wah... I thought I was going to lose my leg... Wah..."

Whoever has quick feet, hurry to the city of Chongqing to find the 'Pharmacist'

Spare the sword! Just as Yi Yun had finished listening to the job transfer introduction, he saw An Qian brandishing a sword, ready to strike at Xiao Yun'er’s thigh. How could the righteous spirit of a homebody allow such a thing to happen? He immediately shouted with righteous indignation, "Let go of that thigh."

"Alright, let's clean it up now." An Qian's expression turned cold as she waved her hand and said, "Everyone, step aside..."

Cough... well! This young master is exceptionally talented and actually holds two positions. " Yi Yun said nonsensically without a hint of embarrassment, and as he shook his body, a green light rose from him, with two large characters suddenly appearing above his head: "Pharmacist"

Ding, you have acquired a permanent passive skill

Xiaoyun pointed to a sand hole in the corner of the tent and said, "After it stung me, it burrowed into this sand hole"

Although no one taught him, he suddenly realized how to cast skills, which might also be an effect included in the package of his transmigration. He pointed at the little cloud on the ground and shouted loudly: "Beginner's Detoxification Spell!"

At this moment, Miss An Qian came forward to apologize, saying that she was sorry for being a bit harsh with him earlier. Yi Yun did not take it to heart; with a smile, he brushed it off. After all, a homebody can endure a lot, and such trivial matters do not warrant any resentment.

The second young lady has arrived

This young gentleman is a "pharmacist"; how wonderful, Xiao Yun'er is saved

Yiyun was curious about how this girl would deal with the poisonous scorpions underground. He stepped back a few paces with Xiaoyu and Xiaoyun.

The young girls surrounding her gasped in surprise upon seeing that Yi Yun's profession was "Pharmacist." They all breathed a sigh of relief, and their mood improved significantly. The atmosphere in the camp, which had been lifeless, suddenly became lively as everyone perked up. The unique gossiping spirit of women was instantly revived, and dozens of girls began chattering excitedly.

Although Xiao Yun'er was unable to speak due to the pain from the poison, she began to cry softly. At just sixteen years of age, the thought of losing a leg was unbearable. What would her future hold if she lost it? However, if she wished to keep her leg, it might cost her life. She looked at An Qian with tear-filled eyes, her tragic gaze revealing her inner thoughts: she wanted to live, but she also wanted to keep her leg.

Basic Healing Technique, casting time 5 seconds, heals simple wounds for a designated target

A mechanical electronic synthesized voice suddenly echoed in Yiyun's mind: "Job change completed, you are now an alchemist. You have acquired two active casting skills."

Thus, Yiyun held a pose pointing at Xiaoyun for a full ten seconds

Then, a beam of blue light shot up into the sky from her body, and two large blue characters soared: "Swordsman"

Basic Detoxification, Casting Time 10 seconds, removes basic poisoning status from a specified target

The tent immediately became very crowded, as the young girls and the *illustrated* books formed a circle around the girl who had been bitten by the scorpion, all speaking at once: "What should we do? The death scorpion is a first-tier poisonous creature, not an ordinary snake or toxin. A regular doctor cannot treat it; at least a first-tier 'pharmacist' is needed for a cure"

At the entrance of the tent, the masked girl An Qian hurriedly rushed in, and the girls surrounding her immediately parted to create a path, allowing her to reach the side of the poisoned girl

An Qian drew the sword hanging at her waist once more, forming a sword gesture with her hand. Although her face was covered and her expression could not be seen, a sharp light shot from her eyes.

I can save her!" Yiyun said earnestly, "Please everyone, step aside, I will detoxify her.

Xiaoyun was startled and quickly walked in front of Yiyun, sincerely bowing and softly saying: "My name is Ling Yun'er, everyone calls me Xiaoyun... If it weren't for Young Master Yi being here today, my legs would have... Xiaoyun will forever remember Young Master Yi's great kindness and virtue"

However, our expedition team does not have any "pharmacists"; we do have a large number of "traveling merchants" and "guards," as well as a few "scouts." The second young lady is also of the combat type...

I am utterly dizzy. Is it really necessary to cry so dramatically? Yi Yun pouted and said: Hmph, women just can't keep their composure. Look at me, even if I've crossed over to another world, even if there's a bizarre job transfer system speaking in my head, even if I encounter strange loading times... I can still remain calm and collected. This is what it means to have the demeanor of a true otaku

Wow? Blue? Although I don't quite understand, it looks really impressive. What rank is the second young lady?" Yi Yun asked the nearby Xiao Yu and Xiao Yun'er.

Only hearing An Qian let out a soft exclamation: "Sword Qi!" She raised her sword and pointed...

A piercing sword energy flashed by, so intense that Yiyun could not open her eyes. Following that was a loud "boom," as the small sand pit on the ground was directly pierced by the sword energy, which then caused a muffled sound from deep underground, resembling an underground explosion. Dust and sand surged into the sky, filling the small tent with a thick haze

Hmm? The girls in the tent turned their heads together to look at Yiyun, their faces filled with confusion

Oh my goodness! What a terrifying sword energy. If it were to strike me, I would turn to ashes just like this poisonous scorpion. No wonder I felt that this woman was incredibly impressive when I first saw her; indeed... she is truly remarkable.

After finishing all of this, Yiyun was just about to return to her tent to relax when she heard An Qian asking Xiao Yun'er, "Where did that scorpion go? In which direction? It's time to settle the score with it."

Wow, it's the 'Pharmacist'!

A long green light bar suddenly appeared above Yiyun's head. This light bar was continuously shortening from right to left. Yiyun felt a stir in her heart... The skill description mentioned that the casting time for the Basic Detoxification skill is 10 seconds. Observing the trajectory of this green light bar, it would also disappear from right to left in approximately ten seconds. In other words... this is a skill casting bar... In online games, this is referred to as a "casting bar".

The girl known as Poisoned Maiden was originally named Xiaoyun'er. She gritted her teeth and nodded, but due to the overwhelming pain, she could not utter a single word.

At this moment, Xiaoyun had already gotten up from the ground. Yiyun noticed that her stature was not tall, and could even be described as petite. She was wearing a pink dress, and there were traces of tears on her face, with two adorable streams of mucus flowing from her nose, indicating that she had just been crying, which was quite unappealing.

Is it really possible for someone to hold two positions at once

Miss An Qian was clearly taken aback, as she had not expected that there would be a person in the world who held two positions. However, after her moment of surprise, she was filled with immense joy, as she had been worried about not having time to find the "Pharmacist." To her astonishment, the amnesiac Young Master Yi beside her was the "Pharmacist." This was wonderful; little Yun'er was saved. She sheathed the sword in her waist and clasped her hands in a salute towards Yi Yun, saying: "Young Master Yi, I apologize for my earlier rudeness; please do not hold it against me. I will not say more; little Yun'er is in grave danger. Please save her first, and I will formally apologize to you later." She sheathed the sword in her waist and clasped her hands in a salute towards Yi Yun, saying: "Young Master Yi, I apologize for my earlier rudeness; please do not hold it against me. I will not say more; little Yun'er is in grave danger. Please save her first, and I will formally apologize to you later."

An Qian glanced at the wound on the poisoned girl's leg, where black blood continued to flow. A black line extended upward along the vein, reaching the thigh... Her personality was quite decisive and resolute; upon seeing this, without a moment's hesitation, she swiftly drew a gleaming long sword from her waist...

Basic Knowledge of Medicinal Materials: Ability to identify and collect simple medicinal materials

"Stop joking. If I remember correctly, Young Master Yi's profession is '24-hour home security guard.' Does this profession involve knowledge of detoxification?" An Qian's expression grew increasingly serious: "When lives are at stake, please be mindful, Young Master Yi."

"Do not be willful." An Qian suddenly raised her sword... The cold tip of the sword gleamed with a chilling light, reflecting the crying face of Xiao Yun'er. Beside her, the "guard" girl Xiao Yu tightly held Xiao Yun'er, her face also filled with tears. It turned out that both Xiao Yun'er and Xiao Yu were An Qian's personal maids, and they shared a deep bond. Now that Xiao Yun'er was to lose a leg, Xiao Yu felt immense sorrow in her heart and could not help but cry out loud.

Oh? Didn't the second young lady say he was a "24-hour home security guard"? How did he become a "pharmacist" instead?

While Yi Yun was still listening to the job transfer briefing, people kept crawling in from outside the tent. The first to enter was the scout girl whom Yi Yun had seen once, followed by many girls dressed in various colorful outfits who continuously rushed in.

An Qian's expression darkened: "Young Master Yi, please do not interfere with us. If we delay any longer in amputating the leg, Xiao Yun'er will lose her life"

"Xiaoyun, are you still awake?" An Qian asked urgently

Little Rain proudly declared: "Three-tiered combat system"
