Arknights: Sea Goddesses of Terra

Chapter 6: independent Messenger (Courier)

　　"Hello, miss, we are here. Welcome to the city of Sanfair in Colombia." Chris looked at the huge city in the distance and said to Reinette.

　　"I see. A beautiful city, isn't it?"

　　"It is indeed beautiful, but only if you are not an infected person and you have to be rich, then it can be called beautiful." The person lying on its back spoke slowly at this moment.

　　His name is John. After receiving treatment, he finally woke up the day before yesterday. However, multiple fractures all over his body still made him unable to move.

　　"Free Columbia, ha, sorry miss, we can only send you here. Unless you get permission from the pioneer team, we are not allowed to return to the city."

　　"It's okay, it's there, thanks a lot, all three."

　　After saying goodbye to the three members of the pioneer team, Reinette set off again, heading towards the city in the distance.

　　...Sanfair City Checkpoint...

　　Reinette followed the flow of people and gradually moved towards the checkpoint. However, there were not many people there now, or there were very few hikers like her.

　　Reinette looked at the huge advertising slogan on the side.

　　Welcome to Sanfair, welcome to Colombia

　　[This may not be the best tourist city, but it will definitely give you an unprecedented experience]

[Excellent technology will bring you a brand new experience. Finally, welcome all visitors again. Welcome to Colombia and welcome to Sanfair.]

　　"Columbia, speaking of my race, should I use feline no. I'm a doctor. Liberi should be more logical?"

　　Reinette only now remembered Muerses in Rhine's life in Columbia.

　　"According to the plot, if my race appears in front of liberi, the favorability must be increased by at least 30."

　　"Hey, what are you standing there for? Come over here, it's your turn."

　　Just as Reinette was still thinking, a shout woke her up from her thoughts. When she came to her senses, she found that the team in front of her had reached her.

　　"Sorry, I'm here."

　　"Oh, it's okay, beautiful lady. Excuse me, do you have any documents that can be recognized by the Colombian government?"

　　"No."

　　When Reinette had just come into this world, she was thrown into the wilderness by the system, and ended up being imprisoned by the robbers for a month. How could she have an official identity authentication?

　　"Well, then, go into that room over there."

　　The guard nodded, pointed to a room nearby and asked Reinette to go over.

　　Reinette walked over and entered the room. One of the guards was still questioning another man who looked like a farmer.

　　The guard looked up and saw Reinette, so he asked him to sit aside and wait.

　　After a while, after asking questions, the farmer took the things and left, waving his hand for Reinette to come over.

　　"Hello, beautiful lady, may I ask, which country are you originally from?"

　　"It's a fixed settlement in Yan Country, so there's no official proof."

　　"I see. May I ask what you are going to do in Saint fair City?"

　　Reinette glanced at the medical kit on her waist and said, "I am a practicing doctor. I have run out of medical supplies and plan to go to the mobile city to resupply."

　　After hearing Reinette's words, the guard who was writing something raised his head.

　　"Practicing medicine? That's rare."

　　It seemed that all the required information had been filled out. The guard took the stamped card from the side and stamped it, then handed it to Reinette.

　　"Okay, this temporary residence permit is only valid for 15 days. Please go to the Security Office to renew it or leave before it expires. Welcome to Sanfair City."

　　Reinette nodded. She probably wouldn't stay here for long. She paid the entrance fee of 300 Longmen coins, successfully got the visa from the guard, and walked into the city.

　　"Let me think about what I should do."

　　Reinette certainly didn't come in to look for medical supplies. That kind of stuff is more worthwhile to buy in the system, and it also has special effects.

　　...

　　"Hello, Miss, welcome to the Messenger Association. Is there anything I can help you with?"

　　"Hello, I would like to ask, what are the requirements to become a messenger?"

　　The receptionist was slightly stunned, then smiled and said to Reinette: "There are no requirements to become a messenger. Do you have any physical records from any testing agency? If so, it can be done quickly."

　　"No, can I do it here?"

　　"Of course, the test fee is 1,500 Longmen coins or other currencies based on the exchange rate."

　　Yes, what Reinette decided to do was to become a messenger. After all, the identity of a messenger did not conflict with that of a doctor or a medical practitioner.

　　Anyway, practicing medicine means wandering around the earth, and doctors are also human beings and they need to make a living.

　　Therefore, almost all doctors wandering around the world have the identities of messengers or other similar persons, and there are even doctors who are mercenaries.

　　Under the guidance of the receptionist, Reinette came to the testing room of the Messenger Association. After undergoing a large number of tests on various items, Reinette was called to the lounge to wait for the report.

　　"Please wait a moment. The report will be ready soon. My name is Annie. Welcome Miss Reinette to become a member of the Messenger Association in advance."

　　Although the report has not come out yet, she was waiting in the observation room during the test and could see Reinette's performance.

　　"It's okay, thank you Miss Anne."

　　"It's my duty. Also, may I ask, what is your code name?"

　　"Codename?"

　　Seeing that Reinette seemed to understand, Annie explained, "It's like a second name. A short code name will make others remember you better."

　　"Just... Tiamat is fine."

　　Annie nodded, turned and left the lounge, probably to get the report. After a while, Annie came back with the report.

　　Reinette took the report from Annie and began to look through it. The report was not long, after all, it was just a temporary report.

　　Some projects have not been done, but it is enough for those who want to join the Messenger Association and become a freelance courier.

　　[Codename: Reinette]

　　[Gender: Female]

　　[Occupation: Medical/Sniper]

　　[Combat Experience: None]

　　[Birthplace: Yan Country]

　　[Birthday: Undisclosed]

　　[Race: Liberi]

　　[Height: 175cm]

　　[Infection status of mineral disease: According to medical report, no infection]

　　Comprehensive medical examination report

　　[Physical strength: standard]

　　(No rating)

　　[Battlefield Maneuver: Normal]

　　(No rating)

　　[Physiological tolerance: Excellent]

　　(This is a very strange physical quality for a Liberi. Few Liberi have such high physiological tolerance.)

　　[Tactical Planning: Not Measured]

　　[Battle Skills: Normal]

　　(For someone walking in the wilderness, it seems a bit low, but considering his identity as a doctor, it seems reasonable.)

　　[Originium Technique Adaptability: Excellent]

　　(A magical water control spell with great potential.)

　　Clinical diagnosis analysis

　　The results of the angiography test showed that the operator's internal organs had clear outlines, without any unknown abnormal shadows, and no abnormalities were found in the detection of Originium particles in the circulatory system. There were no signs of mineral disease infection, and at this stage, he can be confirmed as not infected with mineral disease.

　　[Somatic cell and Originium fusion rate: 0%]

　　The testers found no signs of Originium infection.

　　[Blood Origin Stone Crystal Density: 0.09u/L]

　　(A miraculous number. As a doctor walking in the wilderness, this is impossible.)

　　Looking at the report in his hand, Reinette thought to himself: "I didn't succeed in pretending to be stupid. I still can't control the concentration."

　　Yes, if the concentration of Originium in Reinette is tested according to the actual situation, Reinette should be lower, or even zero.

　　This number was obtained because she deliberately absorbed a small amount of Originium from the surrounding air during the test. However, it seems that the absorption was still too little. However, it would not be normal if it was too much.

　　In the wilderness, Reinette used the system to conduct a test on this incident, and she did have a medical report in her hand.

　　But she didn't dare show anyone the test report. The concentration of Originium in the blood was zero. This number was only found in those giant beasts on the Ark.

　　Because it is impossible for normal races on the land of Terra to have such numbers, the air is full of tiny primitive crystals.

　　Even if this concentration does not cause illness, it will cause trace amounts of Originium crystals to be present in the human body.

　　"Forget it, let them think I'm gifted. As long as it's not Zero, it's easy to explain."

　　Annie handed Reinette something similar to a work ID card.

　　"Welcome Miss Reinette to become a free messenger of the Messenger Association. Are you interested in taking your first commission?"

　　Reinette took the work badge and smiled, "Of course, anytime."

　　"Uh..." Reinette looked at the pile of packages that Annie had put out, but those packages were filled with various letters.

　　"I know what you want to say, Miss Reinette, but free messengers don't get any orders." Anne was accustomed to the performance of the person in front of her.

　　" Why?"

　　"It's very simple. If someone needs to send valuables to other mobile cities, why don't they just find a regular logistics company?"

　　After Annie's explanation, Reinette understood why there were only letters in front of her.

　　The reason is actually very simple. People who need to send precious things will directly look for regular and reputable logistics companies. If they don't have sufficient funds, they can also look for mercenary caravans to travel with them.

　　Most of the freelance couriers are there to earn extra money, they have no credibility and no security. Not to mention the issue of whether they will run away with the goods, if they die while delivering the goods, there will be no one to compensate them.

　　The so-called Messenger Association is an organization spontaneously formed by free messengers and officially certified. They accept letters sent by most ordinary people to other mobile cities.

　　Only ordinary people who don't have much money but have relatives and friends in other mobile cities will entrust the Messenger Association, but the timeliness cannot be guaranteed.

　　God knows when a free courier will happen to pass by and go to that city and take the order, but there is nothing we can do about it.

　　"Okay, do I need to deliver them one by one? How do I settle the fees?"

　　"It doesn't need to be delivered to the door. You just need to send it to the courier association over there. They have special city couriers who will be responsible for delivering the items."

　　"As for the cost, it is calculated at 80% of the cost when the sender mails the item, after all, it is an inter-city item."

　　"That's enough. Where are these packages?"

　　Anne looked down at the labels on several packages: "This package is going to temonli. Oh, this package is going to Kazimierz."

　　"Are there transnational ones?"

　　Anne shrugged. "Who knows? They pay and we deliver. It's that simple."

　　"That's true. Okay, no need to look at it. Just give me the one from Temonli City."

　　"Here, take it and give it to the Courier Association over there. They will settle your commission."

　　Anne handed the package to Reinette and said casually, "Why don't you consider taking this order from Kazimierz? The money is higher, and the knight competition there is really amazing."

　　"That won't be necessary."

　　Reinette picked up her backpack and walked outside when Annie called her.

　　"Please bring your work badge here. We need to register it. Also, the day you register your work badge, it will be valid for one month. If you exceed this month, we may declare it dead and lose it."

　　"Okay, I understand. Oh, by the way, do you have a distribution map of mobile cities?"

　　Anne suggested to Reinette with ease: "I recommend finding a car if you have the money."

　　Reinette took the work badge from Annie and asked, "Why? The car is quite expensive?"

　　"It's not about buying a car. It's about following a caravan. If you're used to traveling alone, the electronic distribution maps on the communicator are not updated in real time. They usually need to be updated after arriving at the mobile city."

　　Annie logged in Reinette's information and slowly spoke about the topic that she had already discussed with countless free messengers who wanted to save money.

　　"Of course, there's no need to worry too much. A month won't change the location of the mobile city too much, even if a natural disaster occurs."

　　"Thanks for the advice." Reinette confirmed that there was nothing she needed to do, so she picked up her backpack, waved her hand, and walked out.

　　Reinette was thinking about what she wanted to buy, a communicator, and it would be better to buy a car, but supplies were not a big problem, as she had little need for supplies.

　　It just so happened that her medical rating had arrived, officially reaching level D.

　　[Name: A Large Box of Gold Bar]

　　[Type: Precious Metals]

　　[Effect: It can do what gold bar can do. Maybe it can be used to smash people to death, but no one would do such a thing.]

[Description: The 33-inch suitcase is filled with gold bar, which is very valuable. Doctors also need funds, but this system hopes that the host can earn more money through normal medical actions.]

　　[Price: 1000 medical points, purchase limit: 0/1]

　　[D-level medical rating unlocks purchase (each level of medical rating increases the purchase limit by one, and the price increases by 1,000 medical points each time you purchase)]

　　Along with Reinette's purchase, a huge suitcase appeared next to Reinette. The largest-sized suitcase of 33 inches was filled with gold bar. It was so heavy that Reinette even had difficulty dragging it.

　　"I already have the money, but it's a pity that the more I buy, the more expensive it becomes. Well, now that I have the money, I can go get a car."
