Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Following the instructions of a person named Zheng Hongyuan in the group, Su Li and Sophia cleaned Ivan's wounds together.

After cleaning away the dead flesh from the wound with a sharp skinning knife, Zuli fed Ivan the remaining bottle of healing potion.

Sure enough, after being given the medicine, Ivan's wound began to heal at a visible rate.

After being given the antidote, Ivan's temperature dropped.

Su Li thanked Zheng Hongyuan profusely in the handbook before finally sitting down.

Only then did he realize how much pain his foot was in.

He lifted his foot and found that the sole of his foot was a bloody mess. His sole had also been corroded by the acid before, but after running around on the ground, the rotten flesh had been worn away.

Sofia also saw the soles of Zuli's feet, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

"It's okay, mine is relatively minor," Su Li said easily. "A quick wash will do."

"Let me do it." Sophia helped Su Li sit down on the bed, then filled a basin with water and began to clean the wounds on Su Li's feet.

Su Li's physique had at least reached the Iron level, so although the wound looked frightening, it hadn't actually damaged the root cause. After cleaning, Su Li drank a bottle of mild healing potion. The sole of her foot was almost completely healed.

Su Li stretched her feet and found nothing wrong. Then she said to Sophia, "Alright, I'm all set. Go and cook some porridge from the wheat he grew for Ivan. I remember the Earth Mother Goddess gave him a slow recovery buff, right? It will take effect as long as he eats the crops he grew himself."

The healing potion didn't appear out of thin air; it required energy. Ivan had gained so much weight, his body fat percentage had visibly decreased, his cheekbones were more prominent, and his stomach was rumbling incessantly.

Sofia nodded, then went out to cook porridge.

Su Li let out a long sigh of relief, relaxing completely. She grabbed her hair in frustration, "Damn it, they've gotten too cocky, they don't even know their own limitations. According to the plan, Ivan should break through to the Black Iron level today. Can't we wait until Ivan breaks through before going to fight monsters?"

"You sensed two silver treasure chests together, but didn't realize there was a strengthened monster there?!"

"What a stupid idiot!"

Su Li cursed himself fiercely. He had really gotten carried away.

He had realized before that he was getting a bit arrogant, but he only said it verbally and never truly reflected on it. Especially recently, he made a lot of money through his cleverness, achieved a breakthrough in his skills, and even played poker with a beautiful Russian girl.

With a bountiful harvest of money, power, and love, one can become so arrogant that they forget their place.

He should have realized that the location of two of the top-tier treasure chests at this stage is highly likely to be dangerous.

He should also have considered that the presence of Kosmons throughout the city might help them launch surprise attacks.

But he overlooked all of that. Things have been going too well for him lately, and he's become complacent and arrogant.

"Su Li, Su Li, you're a high school graduate with mediocre grades, a student from an ivory tower who doesn't know anything about social interactions. How did you manage to get this far?"

"What did you rely on? Caution and careful consideration. That's why you survived. Without caution and careful consideration, how long do you think you could have lived?"

"What a fucking idiot."

Su Li cursed herself.

After finishing his tirade, Su Li took a deep breath to calm himself. He wouldn't resort to slapping or stabbing himself to teach the lesson. There was no need. He wouldn't forget this lesson.

Ivan, whose wounds had been treated, woke up quickly.

Sofia then fed Ivan barley porridge. After he drank it, Ivan's blessing began to take effect. Yellowish-brown specks of light continuously entered Ivan's body from the ground, and Ivan's body recovered at a visible speed, much faster than any potion.

It truly is a blessing from the gods.

Afterwards, Zurich solemnly apologized to Ivan and Sofia for his poor decision-making and reflected on his arrogance.

Ivan patted his chest. "Brother Su, look, I'm fine now. Don't worry about it."

“Yes. Unexpected situations always happen. It’s already amazing that you’ve led us to survive this long, Su Li.” Sophia comforted her, “If it were me, I would have been at a loss long ago. We would have been wiped out in Howling Valley back then.”

“Yes.” Ivan nodded repeatedly. “And in the current situation, we have no choice but to fight desperately. Those guys have all leveled up to level 9. If they level up to level 11 and the system updates again, we won’t even have a chance to fight desperately then.”

Hearing the siblings' words, Su Li's tense expression finally relaxed. "Yes, I promise I won't be so reckless again. Even if I have to risk my life, I can't just go and risk it without any preparation."

Sophia glanced at the new growth on Ivan's body, which was a different color from the rest of his skin, pursed her lips, and then said, "Sulli, I have a suggestion. We need to find a doctor."

“…That’s what I think too.” Su Li nodded to Sophia. “This time, without that doctor friend’s guidance on treating the wound, it would have been really difficult.”

"This is still the Iron-level battle. In the later stages, we will face more and more bizarre things. Without a dedicated doctor, we will be helpless against all kinds of curses, poisons, and special injuries. We can only use general methods to heal by sheer numbers."

Su Li tapped the empty bottle of the healing potion. "This bottle of healing potion is a completely different thing in our hands and in the hands of the doctor."

For example, when someone is sick, a doctor can identify what illness the patient has and then prescribe the appropriate medication. But Su Li and her group don't know anything about it and can only rely on antibiotics to fight it off.

Finally, they asked, "What illness did you have?" I didn't know. "How did you get better?" I didn't know. "Are you fully cured?" I didn't know.

Ask three questions.

As we all know, training a doctor takes a considerable amount of time. Finding a doctor at this stage allows them time to grow and learn alongside the team. Later on, if you try to find a doctor from the underworld, they'll be completely bewildered by the various extraordinary wounds and diseases they encounter.

In the early stages, it's possible to train doctors in-house, but in the later stages, the only option is to find doctors from outside.

"We've just got enough invitations from the Underworld for five. Next time we return to the transfer station, we'll revive one of our healer teammates."

After Su Li finished speaking, she took out a new pair of shoes from the wardrobe and put them on. "Ivan, rest first. We won't explore today. I'll go clean up the battlefield again, and then we'll upgrade our equipment."

Su Li took out the forging rune she had just obtained from the box from her backpack and smiled slightly, "Our magic energy forging furnace has all the materials!"
