[The Praise Bonus effect is added to the treatment reward.]

[The effect of the Medical Billing (Lv.2) skill is applied 1.5 times.]

What?

Raciels eyes widened as he repeatedly read the reward message that appeared before him.

Praise Bonus? It increases the effect of the skill by 1.5 times?

In the meantime, additional messages continued to pop up.

[Patient: Mrs. Dinraier has gained an extended life expectancy of 27 years and 3 months due to your prescription of Ice Galgeuntang Treatment and heartfelt care. As a result, you will receive a bonus lifespan calculated at 1/1950 of 27 years and 3 months.]

[A bonus lifespan of 5.03 days has been calculated.]

Up until that point, it was similar to the bonus lifespan settlement messages he had seen before. However, a new message was added below.

[The effect of the Praise Bonus has been included in the rewards.]

[The bonus lifespan granted to you has increased by 1.5 times.]

[A total of 7.546 days of bonus lifespan has been calculated.]

[The minimum unit for calculating the granted lifespan is 1 day.]

[The granted bonus lifespan will be rounded up.]

[A total of 8 days of bonus lifespan will be awarded.]

[Your estimated life expectancy: 146 days.]

Raciel took a deep breath as he read the messages, his fist clenched tightly.

Its real. The praise benefits have increased the bonus lifespan reward.

Originally, he was supposed to receive a bonus lifespan of 5 days. However, with the 1.5 times increase, he gained an additional 3 days of bonus lifespan!

Hehe, hehehe.

Joy filled Raciel as a smile spread across his face.

Three days.

That was no insignificant time. With three more days, he could plant apple trees before the impending end of the world. If he ate one chicken for every meal, he could enjoy a total of 9 of them. Three days had the power to make life more meaningful, precious, and valuable.

Well, regardless, Ive learned something from this.

Raciel summarized the information he gleaned from the messages.

Receiving bonus lifespan through praise and admiration from the people around you results in an inflated reward, rather than simply receiving the bonus lifespan.

It was clearly stated in the message. So, from now on?

I should pay more attention to those around me.

Even when treating the same patient, he would do so with even greater dedication. Care for the patients with such heartfelt compassion that it would bring tears to the onlookers eyes. By doing so, he could obtain more bonus lifespan for himself as well. It was a natural calculation that came to mind.

Just like this time.

He had put considerable effort into treating Mrs. Dinraier. Next time, he vowed to pretend to put in even more effort. And with that, he closed the message window and lifted his gaze.

Mrs. Dinraier lay in a deep sleep. Her breathing sounded noticeably more relaxed than before. Raciel gently touched her forehead and felt her pulse. The fever had subsided considerably, and her pulse had become stable.

Weve overcome the crisis.

Indeed, it seemed that the recovery was approaching, just as the message had indicated. Suddenly, a smile formed on Raciels face, his happiness unintentionally shining through.

Now, I can finally take a break too.

To be honest, he was truly exhausted. He had exerted so much effort to save this elderly lady. Finally, a sigh of relief escaped him. More than anything, he felt genuine happiness.

I did it.

While the bonus lifespan was certainly a cause for joy, what made him even happier was knowing that someone had survived because of him. The knowledge that a family and a household would become happier brought a sense of fulfillment. It might be a simple sentiment, but at least for now, it brought him genuine happiness.

Unbeknownst to Raciel, a smile graced his lips, illuminated solely by the moonlight streaming through the curtains.

Several days had passed, and during that time, Mrs. Dinraier made astonishingly rapid progress in her recovery.

You have fully regained your health.

On a sunny spring morning, Raciels face beamed with joy as he checked Mrs. Dinraiers pulse.

Congratulations. You are completely healed now.

Really? Is it true?

Yes.

Nodding emphatically, Raciel was certain. The results from his Palpation skill confirmed it, and his Sixth Sense conveyed a clear message.

[Heart: Consultation with Mrs. Dinraiers heart confirms no abnormalities! Recovery is confirmed.]

[Lungs: Mrs. Dinraier has made a full recovery. Impressive huff huff]

[Colon: Cant help but celebrate a complete recovery. LOL]

[Liver: Hiyah! It worked.]

[Heart, lungs, colon, and liver congratulate you on the successful treatment and donate 200 HP.]

[Current HP: 1,400]

Both the Palpation appraisal and the Six Senses appraisal affirmed Mrs. Dinraiers recovery. Raciel happily accepted the donated HP and spoke.

I-I can do it.

Excellent. And beside me, draw the nurses who work tirelessly, also contributing to the noble cause of patient care.

Nurses?

Yes. Portray them as devoted assistants in pristine white uniforms, faithfully supporting the princes noble intentions. Can you do that?

Y-Yes, of course.

Great. Lets start right away.

Now you mean, immediately?

Yes. Is there a problem?

No, none at all.

Good. Bring your drawing supplies. Well begin right away.

Ah, I understand. Ill go home and get them.

Dinraier Young Master seemed flustered by the sudden proposal. He hurriedly left to retrieve his art supplies, and the artwork began. The process continued for three whole days.

During that time, Dinraier Young Master diligently captured various poses and expressions. Admittedly, there were moments that felt a bit cringe-worthy, but Raciel endured it. And in the end, they achieved a wonderful result.

Ohh.

Raciels eyes gleamed with excitement as he gazed at the completed artwork.

It turned out even better than I expected.

Thank you, Your Highness.

No need for thanks.

But, Your Highness, is this acceptable?

Hmm? Whats the matter?

The depiction of Your Highness face in the painting It looks different from reality

You mean you shaved off too much of the chin?

Yes

Its alright. Its alright. Its like artistic interpretation, you know?

But even the proportions of the body

You think the legs are too long?

Yes.

Oh, its fine. Thats not the important part.

Really?

Were going to hold an exhibition with this.

Really?

Youve been working on sketches on your own until now, right? Gather them all, and Ill organize a solo exhibition, with this artwork as the centerpiece.

Really?

Dinraier Young Masters eyes widened like saucers as he stared at Raciel, unable to grasp the meaning behind his words. This prompted a mischievous smile to escape Raciels lips. Now it was time to unveil the essence of the plan he had devised.

There will be many visitors. It will be excellent publicity.

Great publicity?

Well also include a recruitment notice for nurses at the Royal Infirmary.

Pardon?

Even before Mrs. Dinraier was admitted, we realized that there was a severe shortage of professional nursing staff.

So, you see this part of the painting? Up here, well add some vibrant and eye-catching typography.

Typography You mean adding text?

Yes.

Are you truly planning to include a promotional message for recruiting nurses?

Exactly. Thats the plan.

Finally, they were starting to understand each other. A sense of satisfaction welled up within Raciel.

In that case, what kind of message would you like to include, Your Highness?

Young Master asked the question.

Raciel chuckled brightly.

Show me the nursing.

Pardon?

And so, the unprecedented specialized nursing competition, sponsored and hosted by the Crown Prince, Show me the nursing, was about to commence.
