14. Let’s do a good deed 2
Adventurers rarely listen to cures. Even though it was a light wound that could be healed with just a few potions.
-I can’t trust the words of a guy who doesn’t know how to heal.
Because I used to go away.
‘But commoners are a bit different.’
Commoners also believed in Hill, but they had no money.
Adventurers can find a healer if they save up some money, but commoners are busy earning a living every day.
-What about heels when you don’t have money?
– It would be better if I just let it go.
– Buy a potion and drink it.
As a result, commoners often died from minor wounds that worsened. Healers did not accept pennies, so they looked for ways to fix themselves with pennies.
One of them was a potion. Potions were much cheaper and easier to obtain compared to heal.
– If you drink the potion, the wound heals quickly.
– It’s insignificant compared to heal, but it’s better than not using it.
Adventurers looked down on pharmacists compared to healers, but they were indispensable to commoners.
The pharmacists would make potions for free if you brought them the ingredients, or exchanged them for cheap potions in exchange for pennies or items.
‘If adventurers have high eyes and cover a lot of things, commoners are in no position to cover them.’
Whether or not Kang Seung-hyeon knew how to use heels, the commoners didn’t care at all. Irrespective of whether the other party was a healer or a drug, anyone was welcomed if they could receive treatment at a low price.
‘In a way, wouldn’t he be smarter than an adventurer?’
Kang Seung-hyun also ran a barter clinic in his spare time. Like other pharmacists, receiving food or potion ingredients.
‘I earn points with both sides.’
If the healer says that he will treat you without paying, the next village will come. Thanks to that, if you caught me and treated me, the points would accumulate quickly.
“Can I do this?”
What the woman held out was a basket of potatoes.
“sure.”
Seunghyun Kang received the potato with a smile. It’s perfect for a side dish tonight.
“Let’s look at the wounds first. Which arm is it?”
“Here...”
The woman raised her left arm. An old, old cloth was wrapped around his arm. Seeing the blood on it, it seems that first aid was done in a hurry.
Squeak.
Untying the cloth revealed the wound. It was like being cut by a sharp object. Just looking at it, I could tell that it was a cut from a farm implement.
The woman opened her mouth with a nervous face.
“I heard that someone I knew slightly cut his finger on a hoe while working and died of a serious illness.”
It sounds like you are talking about tetanus. It’s okay to get vaccinated, but in a place where that’s impossible, it’s a truly terrifying disease.
“That’s why I was so scared.... I was worried when I heard that Healer had just opened a clinic.”
“Do not worry too much.”
There is no such thing as a vaccination in the Azul Continent, but you can make a tetanus cure using medicinal materials. The problem is that gathering the ingredients is a bit tricky.
‘Let’s take a closer look at the wound.’
Seunghyun Kang’s eyes shone blue.
[Observation eye]
Let’s look at it with the eye of observation, and we were able to get more detailed information.
[Slight abrasion caused by scratching the arm with a hoe.]
[The wound lasted for about two days.]
[There is a risk of infection if the old bandage is used continuously.]
Other than that, no information appeared. Seeing that the [infection] keyword did not appear separately, it was not due to tetanus. Literally a light abrasion patient.
“Fortunately, it’s not that serious.”
“Ten bunches of weeds, please.”
The place Kang Seung-hyun headed was not a general store, but a street vendor in the market. The shopkeeper held out ten bundles of weeds piled in front of him.
“Each one is 5 gold... 50 gold.”
“Here you go.”
“I don’t know why you live so much, but... thank you. Come again.”
You might ask why we pay money to buy weeds that we see everywhere, but weeds are useful.
It can be given as animal food when going on a long journey,
dried well and used as kindling, and
it is also very good for alchemy ingredients, potion ingredients, cooking ingredients, or cleaning.
‘And I can make bandages too.’
Seunghyun Kang can make bandages out of weeds. To be precise, it’s a skill to make cloth.
[Cloth making]
When I first saw this skill in roulette, I thought it was a joke. I thought that something like this would be used by healers, but when I actually used it, it was useful.
‘I never thought we could extract vegetable fibers from weeds.’
The [Cloth Making] skill was able to make not only animal fibers such as silk and wool, but also vegetable fibers such as hemp and ramie. A miraculous skill that pulls out a piece of cloth even with weeds.
If you’re just a healer, you might not know it, but it’s the best skill for a wild healer. You can pull off a bandage and use it even on the street.
‘Of course, if the material is cheap, the fabric that comes out is also cheap... but it’s better than an old bandage!’
[Cloth making]
When you hold a handful of weeds and use the skill, the blades of grass turn into cloth. Compared to the cloth woven on a spinning wheel or loom, it was poor, but it was good enough to be used as a bandage.
‘Did you say this is called a cloth?’
square square.
Cut a long piece of cloth to an appropriate length and roll it up to make a nice bandage. Kang Seung-hyun returned to his seat with a homemade bandage.
“Now write this.”
“thank you!”
The woman’s face brightened.
He must have never thought that he would bring new bandages. The treatment was finished when a new bandage was applied to the arm. The
[+3]
points came in without a problem. The woman thanked Kang Seung-hyun and left.
“Do you really fix it without paying?”
“teacher! Look at the wounds!”
While we were cleaning up after the first guest, the second and third guests came.
“sure. Please sit down.”
Due to the nature of their jobs, Hind villagers often suffered from cuts and scratches. Kang Seung-hyeon also calculated that point and made many medicines for healing wounds.
‘It was good that I prepared a lot.’
Thanks to the medicine and bandages prepared in advance, I was able to treat without problems.
“Thank you teacher!”
“You will be blessed!”
If the patients who returned like this spread word of mouth, the next customer and the next customer will keep coming. Seunghyun Kang welcomed patients without a break.
‘It’s really easy to earn points.’
Seunghyun Kang checked the status window.
[Accumulated points: 72 points]
Kang Seung-hyun looked at the accumulated points.
The life of Yamae Healer was very satisfying. It’s not bad to fight monsters, but it’s much better to heal others comfortably in town and earn points.
“I hope that there will be more customers like this in the future.”
It’s easy, comfortable, fun, and earns points. Today, Kang Seung-hyun’s job satisfaction was at an all-time high.
“Hey, give me some potions.”
Until the true guest shows up.
