Whole School Transmigrated: I Have 3 Daily Intel

"Alright, that should about do it."

"Thank you."

Chen Chong looked at the cloth strip on his arm, stained dark by the herbal medicine, and felt a cool, soothing sensation from the wound.

Beside him, Xu Jun had a similar bandage wrapped around his leg.

"These kinds of superficial wounds aren’t serious and heal quickly. The herbs just prevent infection and inflammation, helping them scab over faster. If nothing goes wrong, you should be able to take the bandages off tomorrow."

Watching Shen Xinrou so earnestly giving instructions, Chen Chong spaced out for a moment. It was as if he were sitting in a hospital, being treated by a doctor...

’A doctor?’

’That’s it, a clinic!’

’With Shen Xinrou’s skills, she could absolutely set up a clinic at the school and treat the other students!’

’First, she’s too frail to go hunting with the rest of us, so working as support staff and running a clinic at the school would be a perfect fit.’

’Second, she could charge for her services to acquire resources.’

’Third, and most importantly... she could build goodwill and status among the students!’

’The school is full of young university students who are desperately short on skilled people.’

’Most of them can’t even mend their own clothes, to say nothing of a doctor who can treat the sick and injured.’

’Even if Shen Xinrou’s medical skills aren’t advanced—even if she can only treat minor aches and pains—she’s still an incredibly valuable asset.’

’Living in an environment like the Primitive Jungle, injuries like bruises and sprains from hunting trips are unavoidable. Getting diarrhea or an upset stomach from eating the wrong thing is also a common occurrence.’

’While these issues aren’t life-threatening, they can be truly miserable.’

’If there was someone who could offer treatment, students would definitely seek them out.’

’As one of the only "doctors" at the school, the more people Shen Xinrou helps, the higher her standing among the students will become.’

’As a member of my team, the more respected she is, the better it is for our group’s future development.’

’It’ll make it easier to recruit new members, carry out tasks, and increase our influence.’

’The fact is, too many people at school get injured every day, and Chen Chong found it hard to just stand by and watch.’

’They were all fellow students, after all. If Shen Xinrou could run a clinic, it would be a way for us to contribute to the community.’

’Of course, it would be a contribution they’d have to pay for...’

Having thought it through, Chen Chong explained his idea, including the three key advantages.

Xu Jun was the first to grin after hearing the plan. "Great idea! We can get resources and bewitch the populace. Killing several birds with one stone!"

"..."

Chen Chong’s expression soured. ’"Bewitch the populace"? Is that really how you’d put it?’

’This is about earning their trust, not bewitching them...’

"I can’t do that. I only know some simple treatments. I wouldn’t know what to do with anything serious," Shen Xinrou said, shaking her head quickly.

"That’s not true," Jia Wen said slowly. "In our current situation, simple treatments are all that matter. Besides, there’s no point in treating the serious cases anyway."

His words were blunt, but they were true.

In this world, the only people they could manage to bring back were those with simple cuts or mild poisoning. They wouldn’t die without treatment, but they’d recover faster with it.

But for those with missing limbs, massive blood loss, or near-fatal poisoning...

Even before they were transported here, those people would have been in mortal danger without immediate transfer to a major hospital. Now, there was simply no hope.

"But... I’m a little scared. And if I’m treating students, how can I still contribute to the team? A-Are you going to kick me out...?"

Shen Xinrou lowered her head, her face etched with worry.

Chen Chong didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This girl’s personality was really something else... he was at a loss for words.

’She’d be able to run her own clinic, so she wouldn’t have to worry about food or drink anymore.’

’And yet she’s still worried I’d abandon her... Wait, does she really trust me that much?’

’It’s a level of trust I can’t quite wrap my head around...’

"You’re overthinking it. You’re one of us. How could I possibly kick you out?"

"Besides, running the clinic is also a way of contributing to the team. We’ll be charging fees. You’ll take a cut, the team will take a cut—it’s still creating revenue for the group."

"When the time comes, I’ll have people help you, so you don’t have to worry about anyone making trouble. You can handle minor injuries and illnesses, and if there’s a major problem, you don’t have to treat it. Just do what you can."

"Besides, I’m not asking you to start the clinic right away. This is something we need to think about more."

Shen Xinrou stared straight at Chen Chong for a long time before finally nodding. "O-Okay..."

’As long as she could stay with this group, she wouldn’t have to worry.’

’For some reason, just being around Chen Chong made the terror of this new world seem to fade.’

’Maybe it was his attitude on the day they first met. It reminded her of her father.’

’Just as gentle, just as kind. He was... a good person.’

’Unlike the people who tried to trick me out of my food, he had not only given me far more than I’d expected but had also taught me how to grow sweet potatoes. He even said I could come to him for help in the future.’

’Chen Chong... genuinely wanted to help me.’

Shen Xinrou could feel this, which was why she had mustered the courage to ask to join his group.

’In this entire school, Chen Chong was the only one she trusted...’

"Brother Chong, Jia Wen and I bartered for a few things today. I also got two potted plants from the girls’ dorm. Let me show you."

Shen Xinrou quickly stood up and headed for the kitchen.

A moment later, she came back over with a pile of things in her hands.

In the bag were some instant foods. There wasn’t much, just a box or two.

Chen Chong wasn’t surprised. He’d told Jia Wen just yesterday that when it came to things like this, the more, the better. They should trade for as much as they could get.

When it came to prices, Jia Wen was already a seasoned pro who knew how to negotiate with the "sellers."

It was the other two potted plants, however, that left Chen Chong baffled...

"Are these green onions and... ginger?"

"I think so," Shen Xinrou nodded.

Chen Chong found it absurd. ’Girls in the dorms were growing this stuff?’

’Does it even look nice when it’s grown?’

Shen Xinrou nodded. "They do look nice! Besides, growing them has a special meaning, so a lot of girls do it."

"But I searched through half the girls’ dorms and only found these two potted crops. Jia Wen talked with them and traded two pounds of venison for them."

"Yeah, that’s about right."

Green onions and ginger are crops, sure, but they’re just seasonings. You can’t make a meal out of them. Two pounds of venison is the most they’re worth.

Still, they could be planted, and he needed any edible crop he could get his hands on.

The venison they got from the jungle was edible, but it always had a strong gamey flavor that even bleeding the carcass couldn’t get rid of.

With green onions and ginger—two "Divine Artifacts" for getting rid of gamey flavors—to use in marinades and stews, the taste would surely improve a lot.

What’s more, ginger has therapeutic properties, like warming the stomach and dispelling dampness, making it practically a medicinal herb itself.

"We’ll plant them together in a bit. You worked hard today, trading for supplies and crops, then going out to find medicinal herbs."

"It was no trouble," Shen Xinrou shook her head.

Chen Chong smiled, then turned to the backpacks and fish cooler they had brought back.

The chat had been a nice break, but now it was time to get down to business.

’A full day’s haul. Time to finally take stock of it all...’

"Ah Jun, help me carry the cooler inside. Let’s release the fish into the pond!"

"You got it!"

Xu Jun sprang into action. Just like Chen Chong, he’d been eagerly waiting to tally up the day’s catch.

This was a bucket-bursting catch. If these fish could survive in the pond, their group’s resources would get a huge boost.

The two coolers, weighing well over a hundred pounds, took several people to carry into the room.

They opened the lids. Inside, the fish were still writhing and thrashing about, alive and energetic in the shallow water.
