Chapter 200
[Two privileges will be given to you who have performed your duty well!]
[1. Stat adjustments for special classes will remain as your stats permanently!]
“…!”
Raymond looked surprised.
Now, all his stats were increased by +10 due to class adjustment.
The correction was that it would remain in his power permanently.
That wasn’t all.
[2. In case of war or disaster, temporary re-transfer to the corresponding special class is possible!]
This was an even greater privilege.
‘If war or a disaster occurs again, you can transfer to a military doctor or peacekeeping force and use your ‘Battlefield Guardian Doctor’ or ‘Disaster Response’ abilities!’
‘I thought it was an ability that would disappear after the special class ended, but thanks to the special perk, I can continue to use it in the future.’
‘Of course I won’t have to go to war again.’
Anyway, Raymond continued to concentrate.
Additional messages were emerging.
[By breaking through the second benchmark, you have been able to choose a new path!]
[Please choose your desired path among ‘Golden Road’, ‘The Path of Medicine’, and ‘The Third Path’!]
This was the choice that came up when he reached level 100. At that time, he chose the path of a special class military doctor.
‘What should I choose? The Third Path is not yet ready. The Golden Road is also attractive.’
Previously, he tried to choose the Path of Medicine.
But recently, as money is tight, even Golden Road sounds flashier.
‘Should I choose Golden Road first and then Path of Medicine later?’
Raymond thought seriously.
The system said that the course can be changed anyway.
This time, he chose Golden Road to gain the ability to make money, and it seemed like a good idea to choose Power of Medicine later as his next career path.
‘Yes, the original purpose of studying is to fill one’s stomach. Let’s make money first!’
With that in mind, he chose Golden Road.
But then an unexpected message came to mind.
[‘Golden Road’ evaluates your commercial potential based on your past performance!]
[Based on your past performance, your commerciality is a total failure in every way (an absolute minus hand grade)!]
[You are not eligible to choose Golden Road.]
“…!”
[You must have commerciality above the ‘Minimum Score’ to be able to select Golden Road.]
[Please try again after achieving ‘minimum’ commercial viability.]
Raymond made a face of hurt pride.
‘Damn, what’s wrong with my commerciality? I’ve never done it before, but if I put my mind to it, I can make a lot of money.’
In this situation, the only path left was to the Power of Medicine.
‘If that’s the case, why did you tell me to choose a career? I could only choose the Power of Medicine anyway. Choose The Power of Medicine!’
[‘Power of Medicine’, you have chosen your career path!]
[I’ll ask you again. Do you want to choose the ‘’Power of Medicine’ path? If you finalize your decision, the ‘test’ will begin. Choose carefully.]
Raymond tilted his head.
‘Is it similar to the specialist exam I took back then?’
It seemed like that.
‘Anyway, I can only choose the Power of Medicine right now. Why does it keep asking when I don’t have any other options?’
Raymond nodded in confirmation.
[You applied to the ‘’Power of Medicine’!]
[The ‘’Power of Medicine’ will review your qualifications!]
[We are going through a ‘document review’ regarding your medical achievements!]
‘Document review? Is this the test? It’s simpler than the previous test? Back then, the system was sealed and I was sweating bullets treating difficult patients.’
I didn’t think there would be much to worry about when it came to document screening.
‘There’s no way I’ll fakl. I’ve accomplished so much so far. Honestly, it’s incredible.’
Raymond confidently waited for the results of the examination.
[The judging is over! Your scores are as follows.]
[Medical Skills (Score: Pass or Fail)]
: Pass
[Doctor’s Mind (10% of points)]
:S (highest score)
[Treatment Achievement (50% of points)]
: S+ (exceeds maximum score)
Raymond looked satisfied with the S-ranks that kept coming to mind.
Even the treatment achievement was S+ (exceeding the maximum score).
‘As expected! All my hard work paid off. But what benefit do I get from getting a high score?’
Based on his experience so far, it seemed likely.
Moreover, didn’t he say that he was qualified to become ‘royal’ after curing a smallpox patient?
There will be some big reward.
‘What kind of compensation will I receive?’
It was when he was imagining such happy things.
Suddenly, an unexpected message came to mind.
[Academic achievements (40 points)]
: F
“……what?”
[You failed in the academic achievement section!]
[The final evaluation is ‘Fail’!]
[You have been tested, so please try the test again after reaching level 300!]
“What nonsense?!”
Raymond shouted.
‘How many academic achievements have I made so far?!’
Raymond thought back on the accomplishments he had left behind.
The extraction of penicillin, attempts at blood transfusion, this smallpox vaccination, etc.
These are all tremendous achievements.
But what about F?
[Only your own achievements are recognized as academic achievements!]
‘So, that’s all I did…!’
Raymond, who was about to protest, hesitated.
‘…Wait, those achievements aren’t mine.’
Raymond simply used the achievements of all the great men on Earth.
That couldn’t be considered his complete achievement.
[‘Power of Medicine’ is the path to reaching the ultimate in medicine! It reflects only your own complete achievements!]
Raymond swallowed hard.
He realized the intention of the system.
Golden Road is a doctor who opens a practice to make money or a doctor who is in business.
The power of medicine can be compared to the doctors who remain in the healing tower in pursuit of even better medicine.
And the doctors who remain in the healing tower do not only treat patients.
They continuously research medicine to advance better medicine.
Because today’s medicine was completed through such efforts.
‘So they are demanding such academic achievements from me as well.’
Raymond gritted his teeth.
‘What the heck? It’s a paid game, so I have to try again after another level 100? That can’t be happening.’
Just raising your level doesn’t necessarily improve your medical skills.
Academic skills that allow you to gain medical knowledge such as surgery, internal medicine, etc. are only available through class ‘promotion’.
If you pay, you will miss out on that ‘promotion’ by 100 levels.
‘That won’t do. We have to find a way.’
At that moment, one thing occurred to him.
‘Royal? The system said I was qualified to become Royal! What is Royal?’
An explanation came to mind.
[Royal: A term referring to the holy bones of the medical world, it is used to refer to the most promising new recruits in the medical field. They are given many great benefits compared to new recruits of other ranks!]
Raymond swallowed hard.
He was expected to receive the highest grade when he passed the medical exam for his work during the smallpox outbreak, but he failed and did not receive it.
‘Level 100 is too long. Is there any way to retry now?’
At that moment, an unexpected answer occurred to me.
[You are a person who has acquired the qualification of ‘Royal’ and can use the ‘Excess Benefit’ once.]
[With the ‘Royal’ ‘Excess Benefit’, you can have your academic achievements re-evaluated after a one-month grace period!]
“…!”
[However, this is strictly an ‘unfair benefit’, and if used, the Royal qualification you have acquired will disappear! You will have to have your rank re-evaluated later!]
Raymond’s face was hard.
‘If I retake the exam now, I will lose my Royal status because it is an unfair benefit?’
To get tested again or lose royal status?
Either way, it wasn’t an easy choice.
‘But the loss is too great to afford to pay.’
At another level 100, the rank changes by one level.
It might have been better to get a lower rank and move up quickly.
‘If I lose my qualifications, I can’t become a Royal again? No, more than that, what happens if I become a Royal?’
Raymond checked.
‘’Power of Medicine, check the new rank types.’
The answer came to mind.
[Power of Medicine Newbie Rank]
*Slave (low score)
– You will receive a negative penalty when climbing the tower.
-If you put in a lot of effort, you can eventually reach the level of ‘Senior Professor.’
*Commoner (average score)
-There is no benefit to climbing the tower.
-If you put in the effort, you can eventually reach the level of ‘Master of Medicine’.
*Ace (highest score in the judging)
-You get some benefits when climbing the tower.
-If you put in the effort, you can reach the ‘Ultimate Level of Medicine’ in the future.
*Royal (highest score before judging)
-Get the best benefits when climbing the tower.
-If you put in the effort, you can ‘transcend’ the ‘Ultimatum of Medicine’ in the future.
‘…Damn, this has to happen.’
The benefits are good, but the limits to growth have changed.
If you were given the slave rank, your limit was only senior professor level.
‘Of course, the senior professor rank is not low. It’s a high professor rank at a modern Earth University Hospital.’
But that wasn’t all Raymond wanted.
‘I have to get to Royal rank somehow. But I can’t afford to pay the test again. What the hell am I going to do?’
To reach Royal rank, you must receive the highest score in every category.
Fortunately, his other items are S grade, so he only need to get an S grade for academic achievements.
‘But how do you get an S-grade academic achievement?’
Raymond first checked the evaluation criteria.
‘Confirmation, criteria for evaluating academic achievements.’
[Academic achievement evaluation criteria]
Novelty (20)
Contribution to medical advancement (40)
Influence (40)
Raymond looked at the evaluation criteria seriously and noticed one thing.
‘There’s no difficulty rating, right? Does that mean it doesn’t have to be a difficult study?’
Raymond had a flash of insight.
‘Leaving aside the difficulty, we are asking for achievements that will actually help patients!’
The development of penicillin and the development of molecular genetic rare diagnostic markers.
What would be difficult?
If we only look at the research techniques, the latter could be said to be more difficult.
Because the creation of penicillin was almost a coincidence.
But penicillin has done more for mankind than any difficult research.
The meaning of the above distribution is to leave behind such academic achievements.
‘That is, it doesn’t have to be a difficult achievement. It needs to be an academic achievement that will provide the greatest help to patients.’
Raymond swallowed hard.
‘What should I do?’
Honestly, nothing came to mind at all.
‘I can’t give up the royal. Then, should I get a raise? No, should I think of a way to leave an achievement behind?’
At that moment, a message came to mind, as if urging him.
[Please select! If you do not select for 10 seconds, to retest and pay will be automatically selected!]
[10! 9! 8…]
The second hand ticked.
