Jiang Kai was also feeling frustrated. Zhu was covered in wounds, yet this girl was only pointing out his injuries.

Maybe it was because he had his back to her at first, and she noticed it right away.

Jiang Kai shifted his gaze from the girl's chest and looked at Zhu. From Zhu's eyes, Jiang Kai saw the same answer he had.

"Miss, our injuries should heal. There are already two of us, which is dangerous enough. Bringing you along might make it even more dangerous."

Looking was one thing; after all, with beauty in front of him, it was necessary to look, otherwise, it would seem disrespectful.

However, traveling together was out of the question.

The girl seemed disappointed but showed no intention of leaving.

Jiang Kai frowned. If the girl wouldn't leave, then they would have to.

Seeing the two about to leave, the girl suddenly spoke up, "I heard your conversation just now. I wasn't eavesdropping; I was hiding here from the start, and when you came, I hid."

Jiang Kai and Zhu exchanged glances. Their conversation had been overheard?

Their professions, attributes, and the mysterious person who escaped from the dark alley...

Seeing the wary look in their eyes, the girl quickly said, "Whether you take me with you or not, I won't tell anyone... I know we shouldn't team up, but you managed to kill a Human-Faced Beast, a Long-Necked Human-Faced Beast at that. I've never heard of anyone doing that before!"

However, you've felt the intensity of the Newcomer Trial. Even if your injuries can heal, can you guarantee they'll heal next time?

The Venomous Wild Boar's steel spikes only cause paralysis, but if you encounter a Chameleon Land Snake, you're doomed! Besides, even if your injuries heal, it takes time. What if you encounter danger while waiting to heal?"

The girl's series of questions indeed addressed Jiang Kai and Zhu's concerns.

"Guys, my profession is Barefoot Doctor. I can heal your injuries. I've thought of a way to definitely pass the Newcomer Trial!"

Jiang Kai maintained a scrutinizing gaze until the girl said the last sentence, which finally piqued his interest.

"You said there's a way to definitely pass the Newcomer Trial? What is it?"

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

The girl, initially timid, mustered the courage to say, "We level up in the trial area..."

"Huh?" Jiang Kai and Zhu widened their eyes.

"Yes, level up!" the girl repeated firmly.

"You two, one is the strongest profession, Martial Apprentice, with strong combat abilities. The other is a new profession, lacking combat talent but with high attributes.

And my professional talent is Holy Hand Healer, specializing in treatment, with the ability to make medicine. There are plenty of herbs here to make medicine, and my medicine heals injuries 30% faster than a typical Barefoot Doctor!

Leveling up can significantly boost your attributes. Big guy, if you reach level three, I think you can walk through the trial area with ease. Are you still afraid you won't make it out?

By then, we'll have more points and earn trial rewards."

Jiang Kai and Zhu had never thought about earning trial rewards, at least not yet, but the girl's words were indeed tempting.

"Holy Hand Healer..."

Jiang Kai pondered.

The girl revealing her talent was also a gesture of sincerity.

Seeing the two still hesitating, the girl lowered her head. She had tried her best to persuade them, but it seemed they still weren't willing to accept her.

"If... if you still don't want to take me, can I trade three doses of medicine for a piece of leather? I... I look a bit indecent like this."

The girl was indeed embarrassed without her top, though saying she looked indecent was quite modest.

On the contrary, it seemed to add a bit of charm... Of course, Jiang Kai wouldn't say that out loud.

Jiang Kai thought for a moment, looked at Zhu, who gestured for him to make the decision.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Kai took out the Human-Faced Beast's body card and converted it into a physical object.

He used the steel spike to laboriously cut off a large piece of leather and handed it to the girl, extending his other hand to indicate he wanted the medicine.

The girl handed three small glass bottles to Jiang Kai.

"They're all for external use. These two are for stopping bleeding, and this one is for promoting blood circulation, for treating... that area."

Jiang Kai took the bottles with a dark expression.

"Can I borrow your steel spike?" the girl asked Jiang Kai. "Don't worry, I'll just be making clothes right next to you. My attributes shouldn't allow me to escape under your watch."

Jiang Kai said nothing and lent the steel spike to the girl.

After returning, Jiang Kai applied the medicine to Zhu.

"Kai, let me help you!" Zhu offered enthusiastically.

"No need, I can reach it myself!" Jiang Kai replied seriously, not wanting Zhu to apply the medicine for him.

After applying the medicine, Zhu's wounds quickly stopped bleeding, and Jiang Kai also noticed his left leg gradually regaining feeling.

"This girl's medicine really works, it's so effective," Zhu sincerely praised.

Jiang Kai nodded, "Among Barefoot Doctors, her talent should be considered top-notch."

Zhu looked at Jiang Kai probing, "What do you think about her suggestion earlier..."

Jiang Kai shook his head, "How would I know if it would work? I don't think anyone's done it before."

"Anyway, we've already teamed up. Why not bring her along?" Zhu suggested, "Did you see her watch? It seems to be from Sharp Creation's 'Sky Eye' series, better than 'Vision Realm,' globally limited. Just her watch alone would be a great help to us."

The danger of teaming up was one of Jiang Kai's concerns, and the trustworthiness of this stranger was another.

While Jiang Kai hesitated, the girl had already put on a self-made beast leather tube top and even used the extra material to make a short skirt.

The girl returned to Jiang Kai, handing the steel spike back to him, "Thank you."

Taking the steel spike, Jiang Kai said nothing.

The girl suddenly took out two small medicine bottles.

"You gave me such a large piece of beast leather... This is the antidote for the Land Snake. I happened to find the materials and made a few doses, giving you two. Good luck."

With that, the girl turned to leave.

Looking at the two small glass bottles on the ground, still with some bloodstains, likely left from when the girl made the medicine.

One of the ingredients for the Land Snake antidote was on a tall tree, making it difficult to collect.

As the girl's silhouette was about to disappear into the night, Jiang Kai suddenly called out, "Hey!"

The girl turned back in surprise, "What?"

"What's your name?" Jiang Kai asked.

"Su Nuannuan."

Jiang Kai scratched his head, "Do you really think your plan could work?"

"I don't know, but... at least it's better than being hunted by beasts like prey," Su Nuannuan said. "I don't want to miss this opportunity, but with just my strength, I don't think... I can make it out of the trial area!"

Jiang Kai closed his eyes, taking several deep breaths.

Yuan Zhu knew that whenever Jiang Kai faced a difficult decision, he liked to do this.

Finally, Jiang Kai opened his eyes.

He limped over to Su Nuannuan, extended his hand, and gave her a slight smile, "I'm Jiang Kai, and that's my childhood friend Yuan Zhu. You can call him Zhu. Welcome to our team!"
