Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 2221 Varsel's Intentions

The patient wasn't the only person affected by the little monk's words; the hearts of the audience watching the live stream sank, too. After all, many of them were betting a lot of money on Matthew and Lola. One of them asked, "Who is this little baldie? Can he treat the patient or not?"

Someone replied, "I don't know, but I suppose he's got something. He's on the same team with Matthew Larson and Lola Crichton, after all."

"So, don't tell me Matthew and Lola are gonna be knocked out in the first round?"

"Let's keep watching. Since they're the favorites, they must have something exceptional about them."

That being said, everyone felt uncertain nonetheless.

In the meantime, Matthew and his teammates had begun discussing the treatment options.

As for other places, some contestants from Emsgate who had the benefit of hindsight deliberately chose to get randomly assigned to a team to expand their country's sphere of influence. On the one hand, by doing so, they could display their skills to their teammates from Cathay. On the other hand, the more teams they had, the heavier the blow they dealt would be.

Naturally, however, while they were scheming against others, the contestants from Cathay were plotting against them, too.

At this moment, two contestants from Emsgate finished examining their patient before nodding to each other. The patient was suffering from kidney atrophy, which wasn't difficult for them despite being a hassle to treat.

One of them suggested, "Varsel, why don't you check on the patient as well before we discuss the treatment options?" Of course, their purpose wasn't really to discuss the treatment options; they just wanted to see the capabilities of the teammate assigned to them. If he failed to diagnose what was wrong with the patient, they would be able to humiliate him big time.

However, when they asked the question, Varsel Cloward had his hands on the back of his head and replied with an adorably blank expression, "Huh? What did you say?" After the person repeated the question, he finally nodded in comprehension. "Sure, no problem. Let's check on him together."

He then got closer to the sickbed and stared at the patient, only to end up getting into a staring contest with the latter. It wasn't until his teammates from Emsgate gave a short cough in puzzlement a long time later that he finally came to his senses and asked stupidly, "Where does it hurt?"

After the patient pointed to his waist, Varsel bluntly stuck out his finger and poked him in the waist, causing him to cry out in pain.

At this moment, Varsel straightened up, and his expression changed. Seeing him like this, his teammates from Emsgate thought he had found something, so they asked, "How is it, Varsel? Did you manage to diagnose what's wrong with him?"

After pondering for a moment, Varsel shook his head ignorantly. "No, I didn't."

The eyes of the two teammates from Emsgate sparkled at his reply. Isn't this exactly the outcome we wanted? They immediately taunted, "Haha! Varsel, can't you even diagnose such a simple cause of illness? That makes us wonder how in the world you qualified for this competition. Is this the best that contestants from Cathay like you can do?"

Faced with the pair's taunts, Varsel replied with a straight face, "You don't have to doubt it. It was indeed by luck that I qualified for the competition." There was even a hint of pride in his voice.

What he said was true-indeed, it was by sheer luck that he qualified for the competition. At first, he merely won fifth place in the provincial selection, but the winner, the runner-up, and the third-place winner of the selection prize ended up drinking themselves into the hospital at the celebration party. That was right; they got hospitalized for alcohol poisoning. As a result, he, the fifth-place winner, qualified as one of his province's two representatives.

After arriving in Bainbridge and interacting with others, he realized that although his medical skills were considered first-class at Grusford, he would basically come bottom at a place like Bainbridge.

Consequently, he simply gave up on himself. Well, it's a good thing to take two contestants from Emsgate down with me. When I go back to my village, I can brag to Tedric and Mouse that I've defeated two skilled contestants from Emsgate.
