Interactive Fiction: The Right Choice After Unemployment

Chapter 23 Work Arrangements
Option 25 is 12.5%, option 50 is 12.5%, option [-] is [-]%, and option [-] is [-]%.

……

【Option [-]】

【Go to the infirmary to see the situation of the sailor】

……

The cabin passage is not spacious, Zheng Zhuo had no intention of continuing to act as an obstacle.But after noticing the vote, he changed his mind.

"(Unwell sailor...)"

Zheng Zhuo believes that the professors and students on board can check out the problems with the miniature deep-sea probe and radio.After all, these professionals come prepared.

But the medical condition on board is not particularly good.There is only one ship doctor, and there are no large-scale medical examination facilities.Doctors can only confirm the situation through a simple questioning.

"I'll go to the infirmary."

Zheng Zhuo said, and ran towards the infirmary.

He doesn't know any medical skills, but he now has the skill of [Appraisal].

With just a glance, he can see the problem more precisely than the most experienced doctor.

……

A few minutes later, pushing open the thin partition door, Zheng Zhuo came to the infirmary.In a small, narrow room, a chubby sailor with a cropped head was lying on the bed, his face wrinkled together due to pain.After busy work, the ship doctor handed him some water and small pills.

That's him.

Zheng Zhuo pretended to be passing by to visit, and exchanged a few words with the ship doctor briefly.

It turned out that the sailor named Cao Yang suddenly felt unwell after lunch, so he went to the infirmary for medical treatment.

After a simple examination, the ship's doctor made a diagnosis.

"It should be a gastric ulcer. I prescribed some medicine and it will be relieved soon."

Pain, heartburn, acid reflux.All symptoms can be consistent with gastric ulcer.Stomach ulcer is not a rare disease in ocean voyages, and this sailor likes heavy oil, heavy salt, and heavy spicy food in his daily life.

Seeing that the ship's doctor began to tell the sailor how to take the medicine, and gave him a false note, Zheng Zhuo opened the [Identification] panel.

……

【Cao Yang...】

……

Zheng Zhuo's eyes blurred.After the name was displayed, the [Identification] panel did not immediately display clear text as usual, but flickered like a TV frame skipping.

Ok?
Zheng Zhuo rubbed his eyes, and when he looked again, it returned to normal.

……

[Cao Yang: Human, male, 27 years old]

[Occupation: Sailor of the beautiful future research ship]

【Good health】

[Skills: Ship Driving, Meteorology, Swimming, Fishing, Mechanical Maintenance]

……

Will the skill panel be broken?

Zheng Zhuo was shocked.

Before leaving the pure white space, he didn't ask the young woman's name. At this time, he could only shout "Hello" in his heart.

But there is no response.

"(Forget it, let it flicker once in a while... it works anyway.)"

Zheng Zhuo had no choice but to confirm the situation first.

At this time, he discovered the second strange thing.

"(【Good health】?)"

Didn't he have a stomach ulcer?
Even if the ship doctor made a wrong diagnosis, there should be other diseases.

Zheng Zhuo looked at the sailor.The sailor turned blue and clutched his stomach, and he looked nothing like a fake.

Zheng Zhuo switched on and off the [Identification] panel several times, but the text did not change at all.

His [Appraisal] skill confirmed the ship doctor, other passing sailors, and even the [Beautiful Future].However, everything works fine.

He is sure that the [identification] skill can normally show the disease status.Because he saw several crew members with chronic bronchitis and mild kidney stones.

……

What the hell happened to the uncomfortable sailor?
Zheng Zhuo thought about this, and walked slowly back to the restaurant.He saw the captain, first mate, and Professor Lin Wen standing in the dining room, communicating.

"What are they talking about?"

Zheng Zhuo asked the three students at the entrance of the restaurant.

"I'm talking about miniature deep-sea probes and radios." One of the students replied.Immediately afterwards, the three of them explained to Zheng Zhuo one word at a time.

It turned out that the miniature deep-sea probe suddenly experienced voltage instability during the survey process.After the temporary float, the technical team inspected it and found that it was a glitch in the power system.

"Professor Lin Wen doesn't think that's a big problem. It can catch up with the scientific research in three days."

The students who followed Professor Lin Wen to the storage room said.

As for the radio problem, after the joint efforts of Lao Dong and Xue Ying, it still hasn't been well resolved.They tried to stabilize the wireless channel. At present, the radio equipment has resumed normal operation, but there are occasional noises.

"They suspect that there is a factory problem with the new equipment. Fortunately, it is not a big problem, and the signal will not be cut off."

The classmate working on the main console said.

"By the way, did you go to the infirmary just now? How is the sick sailor?"

The students also asked Zheng Zhuo.

"what……"

Just as Zheng Zhuo was about to answer, the deputy captain who hurried down from the main control room interrupted him.

"Where's Cao Yang? Is Cao Yang there?"

The mate shouted, looking around.

Cao Yang... Isn't this the name of the sailor lying in the infirmary?
"He has a stomach ulcer and is lying in the infirmary."

Zheng Zhuo replied.

"Oops. This is troublesome."

The mate was scratching his hair.

"Let me explain why no one will knock the rust out tomorrow. That kid is sick..."

He paused, then looked at the four people standing at the door of the restaurant.

Zheng Zhuo suddenly had a bad feeling.

"...Excuse me, can you do me a favor temporarily? Just use a high-pressure water gun to spray off the rust on the stern of the ship tomorrow—it's very simple and fast."

……

Uh.

The four looked at each other.

"Go ahead?"

A classmate pushes a friend next to him.

"You are a member of the civilian fire brigade. We are here to count you as the best at using high-pressure water guns."

"The high-pressure water gun on the ship is very simple! You don't need to master it - you can use it in 5 minutes!" The classmate who was pushed hurriedly said, "I'm from the main control room team! This task should be done by the deck team. Bar!"

"I can do it." No.3 student said while eating a sandwich, "It's quite a leisure job. You can also watch the fish."

"Of course it's easy for a strong and physically fit person like you."

……

The three discussed who would be in charge of knocking rust on the deck tomorrow.

Zheng Zhuo responded to everyone's speeches while calling out the [Authentication] page.

And the [identification] results of these three people are not too different from their self-reports.

The skills of students who have served as civilian firefighters are: [meteorology], [climbing], [high-pressure water gun operation]

The skills of the deck group students are: [Marine Science], [Computer Technology], [Mechanical Maintenance]

The skills of the students with great strength are: [Marine Biology], [Handling], [Rugby]

Zheng Zhuo's skills are: [Appraisal]

"..."

You don't have to look at me.Zheng Zhuo silently turned off [Appraisal].

Then, the [Subconscious Voting] interface was opened.
