Creepy Pharmacist: All my patients are scary!

Chapter 339: The Eighteen Cursed Pathogens

Lynn looked at him with a complicated expression.

Then he took off the vibrant green hat from his own head and solemnly placed it on the table in front of him.

He closed his eyes and said:

"Yes... *hiss*... that, well, aside from that, did you... gain any other insights?"

The goblin laughed heartily, clutching his stomach, and said, "That cloth seller really had it so good, just fantastic! It makes me a little envious, I can't help it! Hahaha!"

"......"

Lynn rubbed his temples, his eyes wide open. This statement had left him completely at a loss for words.

"Then... then what do you think of this hat of mine? Is it nice?"

"It's very nice!"

"Do you like it?""I like it!"

"Since you like it, I'll give it to you as a gift. What do you think... how about that?"

The goblin was overjoyed and said:

"That's wonderful!"

Lynn felt a headache coming on. "*Hiss*..."

...

A few minutes later.

Lynn pushed the door open and escorted the dark goblin out. With his eyes closed, he placed the Medicine to Stabilize Pregnancy in his hand, then reached out to straighten the lush green, prairie-colored top hat the goblin was now wearing on his head.

"Dear guest, how should I put this... don't overthink it. After you go back, take some time to carefully study that little fable story I just shared with you, and every now and then, touch this hat I gave you..."

"When you finally gain some insight from it, you'll understand my good intentions then..."

The goblin pushed up the green top hat that almost covered his eyes, revealing his white teeth, and said:

"Thank you, doctor! I came here for treatment and even received a gift from you. I really feel a bit embarrassed!"

Lynn closed his eyes and waved his hand dismissively.

"No problem, no problem, it's the least I could do. You two should head back home soon. By the way, let me add..."

He coughed, glanced around, then leaned close to the goblin's ear and whispered:

"In the future!"

"If you go back and see all sorts of goblins lined up outside your house, don't make a fuss. You quietly sneak up to the outside of your house and take a peek first, understood?"

The goblin was stunned, moved to the point of self-admiration.

"Doctor, sir! You truly are kind-hearted! Others say you Night Doctors are really not good people, but seeing you today, they're clearly talking nonsense. You are genuinely the best doctor I've ever met."

"Don't worry, if my little brothers are waiting in line outside for me to come home, as their big brother, I must show my appreciation properly. Next time I return home, I'll definitely bring plenty of good wine and meat to reward them!"

Lynn smacked his own forehead in frustration.

He simply couldn't say such things outright!

But he had already hinted to this extent.

Whether he could understand or not would depend entirely on his own fortune!

...

A few minutes later, Lynn, with dead-fish eyes, along with several little nurses nearby, saw the two goblins off.

Under the vibrant green top hat, the dark goblin, with his arm around his shy, big-bellied wife, smiled brilliantly and, from a distance, took off his hat in a salute to Lynn.

"Thank you, doctor, sir! We'll be heading off now! After the child is born, we'll come visit you again!"

He waved the vibrant green hat at Lynn.

Lynn waved back with a pained expression. "Go on! Go on!"

A little nurse blinked, looking somewhat enviously at the affectionate goblin couple.

"How happy they are! Who would have thought that in this Dark World, there could be such a loving couple. Even though they're goblins, seeing them so harmonious and blissful really makes one feel envious!"

The other little nurses all (❁´◡`❁)* nodded in agreement.

Lynn coughed, his dead-fish eyes wide open.

"Don't... you really shouldn't envy that. This is something you definitely shouldn't envy..."

After seeing off that goblin couple, Lynn returned to his counter again to continue his reception duties.

And Lynn soon noticed with surprise this time.

The number of patients lining up at his station in the main hall seemed to have increased slightly again.

Clearly.

After seeing Lynn so amicably escort that goblin couple out of the clinic, most of the patients coming for treatment quickly developed the misconception that the Multi-eyed Demon's case was just an exception.

(❁´◡`❁)*

So, it really was because the first patient had a terminal illness, right?

For patients who weren't suffering from terminal illnesses, this new doctor was obviously quite friendly too!

Ding ling ling—

The third patient sat down at his counter.

Lynn raised his head with a professional smile and said:

"May I ask what seems to be the problem?"

A tall, long-eared dark elf sat down before him, removed his face mask, and said amiably:

"Hello, doctor. I just saw how kindly you treated those two goblins. You really are the most friendly Night Doctor I've seen towards patients in a long time!"

[Ding! The dark elf's Affinity towards you +1]

Lynn instantly extended both hands enthusiastically, smiling.

"You have a sharp eye, dear guest. You saw right through me. Indeed, among all the Night Doctors, I can't guarantee the best medical skills, but when it comes to the adjective 'friendly,' there really isn't anyone more suitable than me."

The dark elf blinked and said:

"Then, doctor, could you prescribe me some medicine for a common cold? I've been feeling like my nose isn't very clear lately, and my body feels a bit weak, so I think it must be a cold. I heard that recently, the Night Doctors in Nightfall City have turned over a new leaf and are even offering discounts, so I made a special trip here."

[Ding! You have triggered a quest: Common Cold. Quest completion reward: 200 Skeleton Coins, 200 basic experience]

"A common cold? No problem at all. Let me check your pulse, dear guest, so I can prescribe the right medicine."

"Okay!"

With that, the dark elf placed his hand on the counter.

Lynn smiled, adjusted his monocle, then gently placed his fingers on the dark elf's wrist.

[Ding! The target has triggered your Random Diagnosis.]

A dozen seconds later.

Lynn calmly withdrew his hand. Then, under the dark elf's nervous gaze, he closed his eyes and took a sip of tea.

"Doctor, is the cold very serious?"

He was somewhat nervous.

Because just a moment ago, this young doctor across from him had been all smiles, but now he suddenly took a sip of tea without saying a word, which made him feel rather uneasy.

Lynn closed his eyes, a serious expression appearing on his face. "There's one piece of bad news and one piece of good news. Which do you want to hear first?"

The dark elf's heart immediately skipped a beat.

No... it can't be!

Could it be that this doctor, just by checking his pulse, diagnosed him with some other illness again?

That shouldn't be possible!

He clearly felt very healthy! It's just a bit of fever and a cold. He had even had someone check him before coming here!

He felt inexplicably terrified, his eyes wide. "The... the bad news first!"

Lynn paused solemnly for a few seconds.

The pause made the dark elf's heart race wildly, thumping erratically.

Just as he was growing increasingly nervous and apprehensive, a smile suddenly appeared on Lynn's face. He gave a thumbs-up and said:

"Just kidding! There's no bad news. Aside from a slight cold, you are perfectly healthy in every aspect. Someone as healthy as you—I've been a doctor for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen anyone like you!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The dark elf's hanging heart immediately settled back down.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, drenched in perspiration.

"You scared me to death! I thought I really had some serious illness I hadn't discovered... Doctor, please don't joke about things like that. This kind of thing can really frighten a person to death!"

Lynn smiled, put on a mask and gloves, then stood up and shook hands with him. He picked up a quill pen and wrote a few lines on a medical record form.

"Alright, sir. Do you see that room to my left?"

"Mhmm, yes, I see it."

"Take this form of mine and go to that room to find the Night Doctor inside. They will prepare the medicine for you according to the form, and everything is free of charge."

The dark elf was overjoyed upon hearing this. "Really?"

Lynn put on another layer of mask and said cheerfully, "Of course! Hurry along now! Don't delay. We're currently doing image public relations. To build a positive image, the medicine isn't being charged for!"

The dark elf, delighted, took the form Lynn had written and happily trotted off towards that room.

Watching the dark elf's retreating back.

The two little nurses nearby looked at Lynn and blinked.

"Good Doctor, sir, isn't the medicine supposed to be charged at cost price? How could you say it was free just now?"

The smile on Lynn's face instantly vanished, replaced by seriousness.

"I lied to him."

The two little nurses were stunned. "Huh?"

Without any delay, Lynn quickly adjusted the communicator by his ear, switching the channel to all Night Doctors within the clinic. With his eyes closed, he said:

"Testing, testing! This is the mild symptoms department. All Night Doctors, upon hearing my voice, immediately put down your current work. A contamination source carrying eighteen types of transmissible curses has appeared in the main hall."

All nurses: "!!!"
