[Racial Skills]

[Water Creation (Conceptual Ability): The ability to create water sources. The more humid the place, the faster the water can be created. However, even in a completely arid desert or in an environment that is theoretically absolutely waterless, water can still be created, albeit at a slightly slower pace.]

[Water Control: The ability to control a certain volume of water, with an upper limit determined by the upper limit of mental power.]

[The Form of Water: Water has no fixed shape or form (This skill cannot be used before full transformation)]

[Its essence is the sea (Conceptual Ability): It is itself the ocean, the master of water. (This skill is not yet activated)]

"Looks good. It controls a certain volume of water, so theoretically..."

Xi Yue turned her attention back to the iron hoops in her hands, recreated a water ball, and filled the gap between the two hoops and her hand with water.

It's impossible for water to have no power. Water may seem soft and all-encompassing, but that's just an appearance. Given the right conditions, water can unleash tremendous power.

Xi Yue used her willpower to confine the water to the gap and kept adding water to it. Soon, the crudely made iron hoop was gradually stretched open.

"This is the power of hydraulics, this is a victory for science!"

Xi Yue smiled as she looked at the iron hoops that had confined her for a month, now floating in mid-air enveloped in water.

However, Xiyue did not throw the iron hoop far away. Instead, she took it back to her hand and smashed it back at the crack in the rock next to her that was being widened by the water.

It's still early, and Xiyue plans to go and scam some more dinner here. But if the iron band on Xiyue's hand goes missing, something big might happen again.

"I have the ability to escape, but my physical fitness is still lacking. Let's see if we can buy something."

Xiyue's race has not yet fully transformed, and in terms of physical attributes, she is still just a human. On the other hand, almost everyone on Terra is at the level of Tyson, and the same is true for the bandits outside.

If she is discovered to be escaping again, Yuuki will probably have her legs broken and be left to die.

Xi Yue stood up and looked at the sunlight shining through the cave entrance and the shadows cast obliquely by the sunlight in the passage.

That was the cat-faced giant who had taken Xiyue out before. There were at least three bandit leaders' men around this cave entrance, and maybe the six people who had been watching over the small shed were also there.

Ask them for help? Are you kidding me? They're a bunch of robbers. If Yuuki tries to run away, they'll be the first to catch her.

If a split had really occurred three days ago, the robbers who supported Yuuki wouldn't have truly treated her as their leader. Instead, they would have treated her more as a tool, at most being a little nicer to her.

Ultimately, they were just robbers. The reason they chose to protect Yuuki was not entirely because Yuuki treated them, but more importantly, because of Yuuki's medical skills as a healer. That was all.

Chapter 3: Heading Towards Freedom

Two days later

At night, torches were lit around the stronghold, and various boxes were placed on the ground. Some boxes were open, revealing the various goods inside, but most of them contained wine.

This was a party, a celebration, and five consecutive days of intense robberies made some of the smarter robbers start to feel something was amiss.

To dispel the doubts of these clever people, the gang leader decided to suspend his original plan, take the alcohol out of the cargo, and hold a party.

The bandit leader looked at the group of robbers who were drunk and laughing loudly.

"Just wait. If you want to bring me down, wait until you have a little less. By then, that doctor will have a pretty good figure too, hehehe."

Under the influence of alcohol, the gang leader's desires seemed to be aroused as well.

At the entrance to the cave, the cat-eared robber yawned, looking at the flames that had been lit a little further away and smelling the scene reeking of alcohol.

"How much longer until they come to change it? Is it really necessary to keep such a close watch? The chains are back on, hurry up, I want to have a drink too."

While the cat-eared robbers were completely focused on the revelry, they didn't notice a person slowly walking towards them from behind.

Just as the cat-eared robber could no longer resist his craving for alcohol and was about to go and drag someone over to watch over Xiyue for him...

A dark shadow suddenly enveloped him and dragged him into the cave.

He instinctively cried for help, and as soon as he opened his mouth, a large amount of water rushed in through the opening.

It's water!

The cat-eared robber's body convulsed continuously. He tried to move his body, but no matter what he did, he couldn't break free of the water clump. It was as if the water clump had its own consciousness and wanted to drown him in the center.

Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure slowly walk across the glass-like surface of the water. With the help of the faint light from the outside, he could make out the figure outside the water curtain.

'It's you!'

The one who arrived was Xi Yue, whom they had left locked up deep inside the cave. However, he was no longer wearing the tattered clothes he had worn in the desert, but instead a brand new black trench coat.

His face still wore that gentle smile, but considering his current situation, that gentle smile did not warm his heart at all; instead, a chill rose from within him.

Yu Yue watched the robber struggling in the water sphere. Tiny bubbles kept bubbling from his mouth and nose as he struggled, but no matter how much he waved his limbs, he couldn't lift him out of the floating water sphere.

"Drowning is a beautiful way to die, and it makes you appreciate the preciousness of life. You will struggle involuntarily, greedily making the most of every last breath of air."

Xi Yue watched as a huge mass of air flowed out of his wide-open mouth, knowing that it was the only air left in his lungs.

"Looks like you're beyond saving. How pathetic. There's a wild party outside, the air is filled with the aroma of wine, while you're trapped and dying in this mass of water."

Looking at the cat-eared robber who was gradually losing its struggling movements in the water, Xiyue said with a hint of compassion.

"I'm sorry, I can only send you on your way in this slow and somewhat painful way. After all, I'm not yet able to control the force of the water flow very well, so I can't do the water blades that you see in fantasy works."

"I hope you can forgive me, but you've been abusing me for a month now, so this is just a small retribution. Of course, the others won't escape either."

Yuuki is now like the final villain in various detective stories, telling the captured protagonist about all her criminal plans.

"Remember this morning you told me you were going to have a party? You even prepared a pile of wood. So, when you weren't looking, I secretly threw something into that pile of wood."

At that moment, screams suddenly erupted outside, and Xi Yue smiled as she looked back.

In the firelight, for some reason, one of the robbers, armed with a weapon, cut down another, drawing the attention of the other robbers.

As they approach, something is bound to happen, such as bumping into someone. Normally, the burly robbers wouldn't care at all.

But at that moment, the two started hurling insults at each other, which gradually escalated into a physical fight, and the chaos they caused drew in more people.

Like a virus, it spread to more people, leading to arguments, fights, and ultimately, people picking up weapons and hacking each other to death. Even the gang leader, sitting in a chair, didn't miss out on this grand "carnival."

"It really worked instantly. I guess I should thank you too. If you hadn't kidnapped me, my system would have been updated to include a combat module, and I wouldn't have such a useful poison."

This morning, Yuuki threw a piece of incense into the pile of matches she was playing with. That incense had the effect of making people irritable and violent, and after such a long time of spreading...

The alcohol, combined with the effects of alcohol, turned all the revelers into thugs who would resort to violence at the slightest provocation.

"It works quite well, but it takes a long time to take effect. Such a large piece of incense took a full four hours to start having a noticeable effect, and it's so expensive."

[Item: Rage Incense]

[Quality: White]

[Type: consumables]

[Effect: The aroma released when lit, when inhaled for an extended period, can cause irritability and eventually lead to anger and agitation, until the effect dissipates. The duration of the effect depends on the amount inhaled.]

[Description: Incense that was originally meant to calm the mind has been adulterated with a poison that can cause mania and irritability. Prolonged inhalation will make people irritable and easily angered.]

Price: 1500 Medical Points

[D-level medical rating unlocks purchase]

It's worth mentioning that even if you unlock combat items or poisons in the shop, those items are at least three times more expensive than medical items of the same level.

The system's explanation is that it is also a doctor system, although the world itself is not suitable for simply practicing medicine.

However, the essence of practicing medicine remains, and saving lives is still the main purpose of this system, which is why items related to combat are so expensive in the shop.

Furthermore, if Yuuki kills indiscriminately, or kills someone in a situation that is not in self-defense, her medical rating and medical points will be deducted.

However, what is happening now still conforms to the system's so-called legitimate self-defense and retaliation against murder. If the other party hadn't searched his backpack first, Xi Yue's transmigrator career might have ended there.

After that, she was imprisoned for another month and forced to receive medical services. Yuuki had the right to unlimited self-defense.

Xi Yue stretched and disintegrated the water sphere beside her, causing the cat-eared robber, who had already suffocated to death, to fall to the ground.

Only then did Yuuki slowly emerge from the cave; this was the first time she had come out without carrying anything with her.

"The air of freedom, cough! cough, cough, well, the air in the desert still doesn't smell very good."

As Xiyue stepped out of the cave, she wanted to take a deep breath and shout out the feeling of freedom to express her excitement at finally escaping, but she was choked by the dusty air of the desert.

"Now it's time to collect the spoils."

Xi Yue walked towards the carriages they had piled up around them as spoils of war, as well as the various boxes they had moved off the ground.

Xi Yue walked to an open box, took out a bottle, opened the cap, and smelled it. She was choked by the strong smell of alcohol.

"Vodka?" Yuuki flipped through the bottle, looking for the label, and discovered that the liquor originated from Ursus, and judging from the name, it seemed to be vodka.

"The prescription is quite high, let's keep it."

Xi Yue casually tossed aside the opened wine bottle and stuffed the few remaining bottles of wine from the box into the inside of her black trench coat.

Strangely, the trench coat, despite having five bottles of liquor stuffed inside, didn't bulge at all, as if the liquor had been swallowed up and disappeared without a trace.

This black trench coat is no ordinary item either; it's a specially prepared spatial storage device.

【Item: Lankai Trench Coat】

[Type: Long leather coat/trench coat/black (with cyan stripes)]

【Durability: 97/97】

[Effect 1: Storage. There is a 1×1×1 space inside the clothing that can store any item. Please note that this space does not provide conditions for the survival of most living beings.]

[Effect 2: Lan Kai, upon activation, the cyan stripes will emit a faint fluorescence. At the same time, an aura will slowly appear on the surface of the trench coat, which can be used for defense.]

[Description: Don't rely too much on the main defensive capabilities of this garment; its airflow protection is mostly only useful for cooling off.]

Price: 8000 Medical Points

[D- grade medical rating available for purchase]

Yu Yue also tried the two-effect Lan Kai, and it really is just a breeze, but it's quite cool. However, it should be pretty good for things like smoke extraction.

After stuffing in a few bottles of wine, Yuuki went to look at the other boxes, but found that most of the boxes outside contained wine and food.
