Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!

To handle the workload of nineteen, one would need to resort to some rough methods, otherwise it would be difficult to accomplish.

You're not a brute, are you? Surely no sea beast jars have been damaged yet?

She immediately checked all the sea beast jars, fearing that the precious medicinal materials might be compromised.

Just as Chen Qi had said, nineteen jars of medicinal materials had already been extracted, and beautifully so.

Moreover, the sea beasts she usually raised appeared listless, but today they were unexpectedly full of vitality!

This also meant that there were few mistakes in the manipulation.

Beautifully done... Little Raven sighed in relief, her face slightly flushed, a bit happy.

But on second thought, with no reason to whip him, Little Raven sighed heavily again:

"Sigh..."

Chen Qi was instantly startled, as if he had been struck by a whip.

"Why are you sighing? I spent half an hour, laboriously completing this challenging job!"

Chen Qi felt that, although he had finished the job beautifully, she truly wanted to whip him from the heart!

Little Raven adjusted her mask.

She didn't really want to whip him, nor was she a sadist.

As a firm fan of the deep sea, she just wanted an excuse to have Chen Qi take his shirt off again, to have another look at the sea beast pattern on his back.

Then give a symbolic couple of whacks on his buttocks.

But this was nineteen! Quite a large workload!

"Should I whip him nineteen times too? No no no, that's just crazy, hellish thoughts..." Little Raven dismissed the idea.

She must have devoted a lot of thought to this, meticulously read every letter of the "Sea Beast Medicinal Materials Collection Guide," racked her brain, and accomplished it.

She also got frightened by the sea beasts' terrifying cries midway, but despite this, he still overcame his fear and completed the job beautifully!

And he did it on an empty stomach, no less!

Such hard work, she couldn't really pick on him as the Black-eyed Captain had said.

Tired from a day's work, Little Raven also collapsed in the chair, smiling:

"Nineteen? How did you do it?"

Simply through hard work, it's very difficult to achieve.

Chen Qi recalled the original host's memories, rubbing his hands:

"I was born in Daluo Town of the Moonstone Islands, helped fishermen deal with some sea beasts, and I also attended university; I guess my comprehension is decent."

In this post-apocalyptic world, after centuries of a peaceful era, every country had established academies specifically for training Transcendents.

The country where his story started was known as Shell Country, a nation focused on wealth with developed industries, where the education sector was on the rise.

In Shell Country, there were many top academies for training Transcendents.

However, unlike Earth's academies, the entry requirements here were far stricter, and the majority of students were either nobles or descendants of powerful Transcendents.

Commoners aspiring to enter the academies needed sufficiently high levels of inspiration and had to pass various difficult professional exams to qualify; the acceptance rate was extremely low.

"Oh? You also took the university entrance exams?"

Little Raven hadn't expected this little slave to have, like her, once been an exam candidate for university.

Even among the commoners, families willing to take the exams usually had some assets; becoming a slave on a pirate ship was highly unlikely.

Chen Qi responded:

"Yes, I have some gift for inspiration, tried for the Royal University twice, but failed both times."

"I applied to a medical college that was jointly established with the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom."

"Oh, did you get in?"

Chen Qi asked, as the player-made game data had mentioned Little Raven's proficiency in medicine but had not discussed her educational background.

The atmosphere, once warm, suddenly grew a bit tense.

"..."

In Chen Qi's mind, the image of a whip suddenly appeared; perhaps he shouldn't have asked that question.

"If I had passed, why would I be on a pirate ship, being a crazy female pirate all day, chatting cheerfully with a captured slave..." Little Raven was somewhat speechless, resting her face in her hand:

"What do you think? The spots in these joint medical colleges are few, and we can only pick what's left after the nobles and tycoons finish."

"Of course, my own abilities weren't up to snuff then. I just got complacent when I became a First Order 'Doctor Apprentice' and missed this precious opportunity."

"After I got the Doctor Apprentice license, I went out to make my own way due to various reasons."'

As she spoke, Little Raven felt somewhat sad.

"Doctor Apprentice license!?"

And according to the laws of the kingdom, only those with an entry-level Doctor's license could become a legitimate 'Doctor.'

The Apprentice license did not qualify one to practice medicine.

Chen Qi was slightly surprised; in his mind, Little Raven's medical skills were impressive, and she ventured out right after getting her Apprentice license.

This was unlicensed practice! She was definitely a quack!

But on a pirate ship full of all sorts, this was somewhat normal.

Feeling underestimated, Little Raven clenched her fist, boasting:

"Don't look down on me just because I have only an Apprentice license; it's just that my status didn't suit taking the license."

"In research on deep-sea diseases, I might be even better than the legendary Healer, the Flower Witch!"

"Oh, is that so."

Gurgle~

Suddenly, a soft grumble came from Chen Qi's stomach.

He was hungry.

According to the ship rules, newly joined crew members were not entitled to eat in the dining hall; they could only have hot meals there after successfully completing a job with the pirate ship.

Seeing the bread on the cupboard, the tired Little Raven immediately sat up.
