### Chapter 81: The Doctor and the Fighter

The next day at noon, at the Fujino residence in Beika Town, the new sunny day began as the darkness of the previous night faded away.

Fujino stood in the dimly lit room, placing a photo on a wall filled with interconnected red strings. He took a red string from a nearby cabinet and linked it to the other photos.

"Based on the existing evidence, it's certain that the brewery is the organization responsible for murdering the original host's parents a year ago."

Fujino stared at the photos on the evidence wall with a calm expression. "But why did the brewery kill them? Could it be because of the Fujino Zaibatsu?"

"The Fujino Zaibatsu has already gone bankrupt. Logically, things should have stopped there... But why did they sacrifice an expendable member to assassinate me? Are they afraid I'll uncover the truth?"

"Something's not right."

Fujino's brows furrowed slightly. "If they were afraid of me investigating, they shouldn't stop after one failed attempt. According to the brewery's style, they should be willing to blow up my small building rather than fake an accident. Why go through the trouble of faking an accident?"

The pieces of evidence connected in his mind, causing Fujino to feel dizzy. He closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose. After a moment, he muttered, "Are they afraid of something?"

"The Fujino Zaibatsu has collapsed. What do I have that could threaten the brewery now?"

Fujino gazed at the clues on the wall, his mind filled with confusion. If the brewery was indeed afraid of something, they might not make another move against him in the short term. But this was just a hypothesis. If his guess was correct, then there were more unpredictable truths hidden behind this incident.

Putting his thoughts aside, Fujino opened the system interface:

**[Current balance: 4.8 million yen]**

"Whether the brewery will continue to attempt assassination or not, the priority is to strengthen my own abilities."

Fujino sighed as he looked at the system balance, then opened the system interface and began a new round of draws. Forty consecutive draws!

**[Consumed 3.6 million yen]**

**[Congratulations! You have obtained: Purple Profession Card (Doctor), Purple Profession Card (Fighter), Self-aiming Water Gun (Blue), Bat Shurikens x7 (Blue), Gold Item Random Shard x12, Seven-inch Coffee Cake x1, Women's Dress x1, Self-heating Curry Rice x3...]**

"Two professions this time?"

Fujino was surprised as he examined the two profession cards he had drawn. He opened the system profession panel:

**[New Sub-profession: Doctor: Beginner (0–100)]**

**Profession Skills:**

- **Basic Medical Knowledge** (Basic mastery of medical knowledge)

- **Angel in White** (Beginner: Increases the effectiveness of basic treatments on others by 50%)

- **Save Others, Save Yourself** (Beginner: Increases the host's physical self-healing ability by 50%)

"Angel in White and Save Others, Save Yourself..."

Fujino murmured as he looked at the doctor's profession skills. "So these skills are for enhancing healing others and oneself?"

As described by the system, the doctor's profession skills were meant to enhance self-healing and the ability to heal others. The self-healing ability was the most important to Fujino. It meant that wounds that used to take ten days to heal would now take only about 6.5 days. The ability to heal others might not seem as crucial but was still useful. If he ever decided to become a doctor, he could treat patients much faster than normal doctors, potentially becoming a revered medical expert in Beika.

Of course, treating patients too well and too quickly might get him fired from a hospital. But since he had no intention of becoming a doctor, it didn't matter much.

The effect of basic medical knowledge was clear to Fujino as soon as he acquired the skill. The knowledge felt like a library in his mind, available for him to access at will. Although he wasn't immediately capable of performing surgery, he could handle basic first aid.

"How do I gain profession points for the doctor profession? Surely it doesn't mean I have to become a nurse or start practicing medicine?"

Fujino sighed, expressing his complaint. Then, he turned his attention to the fighter profession:

**[New Sub-profession: Fighter: Beginner (0–100)]**

**Profession Skills:**

- **Basic Fighting Knowledge** (Basic combat techniques)

- **Fighting Expert** (Beginner: Increases the host's strength by 20%)

- **Combat Perception** (Beginner: Increases the host's perception by 20%)

"This time, it's enhancing combat skills?"

Fujino rubbed his chin as he looked at the fighting expert skill. Unlike time-limited enhancements, this was a permanent enhancement, genuinely strengthening his physical abilities. Just like the doctor's basic knowledge, the fighting expert knowledge flowed into his mind. Now, he had a wealth of combat knowledge that he could draw upon.

To gain proficiency points for the fighting expert profession, there was only one way: fighting. Unlike the doctor profession, gaining proficiency points for fighting by engaging in combat was much simpler.

After examining for a while, Fujino turned his attention to the only blue item he had drawn: the **Self-aiming Water Gun**.

**[Self-aiming Water Gun: This water gun has an auto-aim feature but can only shoot water (Note: The water gun doesn't need refilling; it has an unlimited water supply)]**

An endless red string, endless pouring tea, and now an endless squirting water gun. These quirky blue items no longer surprised Fujino.

"Ring, ring, ring!"

At that moment, a phone rang in Fujino's pocket, interrupting his thoughts. He took out his phone to see an unfamiliar number.

"Is this Detective Fujino?"

A strange voice came from the other end as soon as he answered. Judging by the voice, it seemed to be a young man in his twenties. Fujino didn't recognize the voice, so he asked, "Yes, this is Fujino. Who's calling?"

"Hello, Detective Fujino. I'm Nakajima Hideaki from the Game Development Department of Man Ten Heaven..."

Fujino frowned and asked, "What can I do for you, Mr. Nakajima?"

"It's like this: our company is planning to develop a detective-themed game and we hope you can come over to supervise..."
