Dotore from Genshin Impact is my teacher

After circling the Order Academy for a long time, Chen Xi didn't see a single person except for the two guards on duty. He could tell that this was outside the dream world, and the reason there was no one was because everyone in Sumeru City had been pulled into the dream world by the Void Terminal.

They circled back to the Pure Glass Workshop to find the [Scattered Soldiers]. Based on the words of the Fools' soldiers, they found the floor where the Divine Mechanism of the True Machine was manufactured.

A familiar figure stood with his back to him, talking to [Scatter Soldier]. The evil aura emanating from that person was not as strong as that of an omega, and Chen Xi showed little fear of him.

"Dotore!" Chen Xi hugged his waist from behind and gave it a playful squeeze, feeling the strength of his muscles.

[The stragglers] watched his reaction with a knowing look on their faces, revealing a meaningful expression.

"Be good, go out and play with them by yourself. I have something to do now and can't stay with you." He gently pried Chen Xi's hands apart, abandoning his usual arrogance and indifference, and spoke in a tone as if coaxing a child, turning around to gently stroke Chen Xi's face.

Chen Xi said stubbornly, "No, if I leave, you'll bully him."

"Pfft, you think I'd let him bully me?" [Skirmisher] laughed and asked him back.

“But you can’t beat him.” Chen Xi still looked up at the [Skirmisher] sitting in the cockpit of the God of Machines with innocent eyes, her tone sincere.

"This kid really knows how to bring up the most sensitive topics." [Sanbing]'s attitude towards Chen Xi has improved a lot.

How can there be such naive people in this world? Just like [Sanbing] back then, they were fooled by [Doctor]'s face. When [Sanbing] was still clueless, he regarded [Doctor] as a friend and even hugged [Doctor].

They thought they were good friends, but [The Doctor] had been using him all along. [The Doctor] had ripped out Niwa's heart with a knife and given it to [Sanbing]. [The Doctor] was also the one who recruited [Sanbing] into the Fatui, after which [Sanbing] turned to the dark side. [Sanbing] made a deal with [The Doctor]: [The Doctor] gave him a heart in exchange for providing [The Doctor] with data and information as an experimental subject.

……

……

It turns out that the Fools' Enforcers all like children, except for [the Doctor], who directly uses children for experiments, showing no humanity or conscience whatsoever.

Chen Xi knew that the two of them would argue as soon as they met, and might even fight, so he advised, "You two can't fight, otherwise the infrastructure here will be damaged, and we'll have to pay a lot of money in compensation. Pantalone will be angry then, and what if they stop giving us funds?" The key point was the funds.

"Scholar": "Oh, so that's the reason. You're so thoughtful, kid."

[Scattered soldier]: "We really can't fight here."

The two of them reached a rare consensus: they couldn't afford to offend anyone but their wallets, or rather, their pantaloni, or they wouldn't even have food to eat.

Chen Xi continued, "But we can't fight outside either, it would be too chaotic."

"Scholar": "I agree with your statement for now."

[Scattered soldier]: "I can barely agree."

……

Silence fell over the scene. The [scatterer] looked at the "scholar" with disdain, believing that he would definitely be able to defeat him after becoming a god.

The "scholar" ignored the "soldier," whose eyes were covered by a mask. Chen Xi's powerful perception allowed him to sense that the "scholar" was watching him intently, giving him the feeling of being targeted by a venomous snake.

Chen Xi decided to take the initiative to break the deadlock: "Dottore, do you know about the Demon Scale Disease? I've heard that it's incurable."

The scholar said, "I know that even with current medical methods, it can be cured."

Chen Xi: "You knew all along!" Ke Lai is saved!

"Scholar": "Why ask such a question? I've examined every part of your body, and you're not a patient with the Magic Phosphorus Disease."

Chen Xi looked at him with pleading eyes: "I'm just curious, scholar brother, can you tell me?"

He responded with a "Mm".

The "scholar" only told Chen Xi about the characteristics of the Demon Scale Disease, but did not explain the treatment method.

(Note: The description of Demi-Schönlein sclerosis as a condition causing weakness and numbness in the limbs easily evokes images of ALS and psoriasis. However, the "real-world Demi-Schönlein sclerosis" is actually POEM syndrome.)

(The symptoms of POEMs syndrome are highly consistent with the game's description. If "Demon Scales" exists in reality, then POEMs syndrome is undoubtedly the most similar one.)

Chen Xi wanted to save Ke Lai, unable to bear her suffering, but waiting for the traveler to arrive and purify the forbidden knowledge that polluted the World Tree was too late. He wanted to help solve the Demon Scale Disease himself, so he tried every means to get information out of the "scholar." But the "scholar" just wouldn't say anything.

The World Tree records everything that has ever existed in Teyvat. Forbidden knowledge acts like a foreign allergen, triggering an overreaction in the World Tree's immune system; Demonscale Disease is one such symptom.

As long as forbidden knowledge exists, the World Tree will remain "allergic." Because the Great Tree King's consciousness is connected to the World Tree, and the World Tree records forbidden knowledge, the Great Tree King indirectly knows about it. Therefore, to heal the World Tree, not only must the content related to forbidden knowledge be removed from the World Tree, but the Great Tree King itself must also be cleansed. Thus, the Great Tree King created the Little Grass King to cleanse itself.

The Demon Scale Disease is equivalent to the Dead Zone on a human body, and the root of both the Dead Zone and the Demon Scale Disease lies in forbidden knowledge. Therefore, the Crimson King sacrificed himself, and the Tree King overdrawn his power to eliminate the forbidden knowledge disaster in the desert. The Tree King in the World Tree was completely deleted, and the forbidden knowledge carried by the Tree King was also deleted, so the Dead Zone and the Demon Scale Disease could be cured by physical means.

However, the current plot has obviously not progressed that quickly, so we can only turn to the "scholars" who have previously studied the Demon Scale Disease.

Unfortunately, the "scholar" wouldn't say, so Chen Xi immediately started making things up: "I have a friend who has Scale Disease, and I want to save her."

The "scholar" frowned, clearly displeased at the word "friend": "Want my help? You'll have to pay a price."

Chen Xi used traditional moral blackmail: "Everyone says doctors are benevolent, how can you bear to give up saving a life?" But this guy has no morals at all.

"Scholar": "I am a researcher, an executive officer of the Fools [PhD], not a healer who saves lives, nor do I have the time or inclination for such things..."

Chen Xi said dejectedly, "...You really are still that [Doctor]."

"Scholar": "I haven't finished speaking, but if you ask me for help, it's not impossible."

"That's great, Scholar Brother!" Chen Xi hugged the "scholar" around the neck and kissed him. The "scholar" indulged his behavior.

[Scattered soldier] means that he should wash his eyes, as this place is not clean either.

It seems the inside information was true; he's close to [the Doctor]. Things are about to get interesting.
