Someone in Honkai: Star Rail, a Doctor

Early the next morning.

Lin Nai got up from the soft, large bed and stretched lazily, his eyes still half-closed.

"Haaaawn..."

[Good morning, Host.]

"Morning, System... Hmm, what's up?"

[There's a small matter to report. Of course, please don't suddenly scream after I tell you.]

"Hm?"

[Random Skill: Moon God Digitization (Transforms the body into a blue light particle energy form with data stream characteristics)]

[Random Item: Card Case (Kamen Rider Dragon Fang)]

[Random Item: Extraordinary Creator VRX Cassette]

Lin Nai: ???

Lin Nai's mind went blank. He had the bewildered feeling of someone who had inexplicably won the lottery.

The system was raining gold coins!

Come to think of it, this guy hadn't done anything for him since yesterday's passive skill.

It was rare for it to drop so much at once.

[Who knows what happened in your dream, but just be happy about it. Your body is getting more and more monstrous, and time is running out.]

"In my dream..."

Only then did Lin Nai start to carefully recall the strange dream he had last night.

What was that all about?

It felt like a mashup of famous scenes.

Lin Nai felt that if he had continued to indulge in the dream, he would have definitely exploded.

According to Herta, he seemed to have been talking in his sleep.

"But... this time, I unexpectedly got items that can be used for attacks."

Lin Nai picked up a black card case, which bore a dark dragon head insignia.

Dragon Fang.

Glancing around, he seemed to vaguely see a black dragon with glowing red eyes in the mirror.

Not bad.

He didn't know about the combat power of the Dark Dragon in this world, but at least it was cool, right?

As for the VR cassette... that would require creativity.

After the system's adjustments, even if it was just an item, Lin Nai could use the power within it.

Of course.

There was also the power of some Rider users, like the cassette he used when playing games with Silver Wolf earlier.

"But, System, do you know what exactly happened?"

[I don't know the specifics, but when I returned, I saw the records. It seems someone tried to enter your dream, but was intercepted.]

"Returned?"

[I went for communications, to discuss a few things.]

"Oh... do you know who it was?"

[I don't know. That guy gave up after a few attempts. However, your body suddenly started glowing and things like that.]

[Startled by your abnormal state, I took a little advice and used a small trick to pull you out of that so-called dream.]

"You mean..."

[The pain you felt in the dream was my doing.]

"...That's a bit too rough," Lin Nai rubbed his neck.

Even recalling it now sent shivers down his spine.

Suffocation, pain, burning, bone-chilling cold.

He almost thought he had died again.

[There was no other way. It seems you were too deep in the dream; without some stimulating method, you wouldn't wake up.]

He wasn't sure if it was his imagination.

Lin Nai seemed to hear a hint of joy in the system's words.

Did this guy do it on purpose?

"...Thanks."

"You're welcome, who else has been with you the longest besides me~"

Listening to the system's proud tone.

Lin Nai smiled, got up, tidied himself up, and prepared to go to Black Tower's office for a physical examination.

A few hours later...

Lin Nai sat obediently in a chair, watching Black Tower flip through the reports.

How to put it.

It felt like going to the doctor after a physical.

If Black Tower had frowned or something at this moment, Lin Nai felt he would have been very flustered.

But fortunately.

Black Tower showed no unnecessary expressions, merely picking up a cup of water indifferently.

After a pause of a few seconds, they handed it to Lin Nai: "Drink more hot water."

"Oh... oh..."

Are you really not giving it to him because you accidentally forgot you were controlling a puppet and didn't need to drink water?

"Alright, there are no problems with your body, but mentally... it's hard to say."

Black Tower held the documents in one hand and gently tapped the table with the other.

Lin Nai, drinking hot water, remained silent.

A little scared.

"But come to think of it, it's not like this is the first or second time you've been mentally unstable, Lin Nai. It's probably just nightmares."

Black Tower organized the documents and put them into a briefcase, planning to ask Ruan Mei and the others about it later.

If it were just nightmares, it would be fine.

But Lin Nai also glowed, had abnormal body temperature, cold hands and feet, and difficulty breathing.

These were clearly problems no matter how you looked at them.

Yet the instruments couldn't detect anything at all.

It was very strange.

This wouldn't do; the instruments had to be upgraded, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to detect anything.

"Alright, you can go do whatever you need to do now. I need to continue with the Simulated Universe."

Black Tower waved their hand.

Lin Nai hesitated, wanting to ask about the puppet from yesterday, but he shook his head.

Black Tower probably wasn't that idle, right?

Monitoring wouldn't be necessary.

So that Black Tower probably just had the function to monitor his own physical condition.

Lin Nai convinced himself, got up, and left the office.

Black Tower immediately sent the examination report to Ruan Mei and Screwllum.

At the next gathering, she could ask them if they had developed anything.

— Separator —

After leaving Black Tower's office, Lin Nai intended to go back and take a nap.

But after taking just two steps, he saw several staff members in white coats rush towards him.

"Wait! What are you doing! Don't come near me!!"

Lin Nai took two steps back in fear.

Scary!

It was too scary!

"Sorry, Lin Nai, the situation is urgent! We need your help!"

Hmm...

Suddenly, he felt an urge to grab a handful of sand.

"Excuse us!"

"Just bear with it!"

"Wait!!"

Before Lin Nai could speak, a group of staff members lifted him up and headed towards the medical bay.

"Asta! Asta, save me!!"

Lin Nai noticed the Space Station Commander standing not far away and immediately shouted.

Unfortunately, Asta remained unmoved, quietly observing.

"Asta! Asta, why are you just watching? Did you really betray me?! Is it because I took the Black Silk yesterday?!"

"..." Asta couldn't hold back a twitch of their lips. "They are from the medical bay; they're overwhelmed over there."

"Keep it up, Lin Nai. I'll bring you lunch."

Asta smiled.

Lin Nai just didn't know why they felt a strange gaze?

Chapter 11 · Lin Nai: Yo, Explode Gold Coins?

Good morning! Black Tower Space Station!

Yesterday, a total of thirty people experienced accidents in various laboratories!

Thanks to endless all-nighters of research, ten people collapsed in the main control segment alone.

But I think all of you are finished!

Because a medical bay staff member also fainted from exhaustion!

Lin Nai definitely wouldn't let this slide!

So...

Inside the medical bay.

After being forcibly carried to the medical bay by a group of burly men, Lin Nai, who was supplying energy to the staff member undergoing treatment, did so with a blank expression.

Their resentment was greater than any ghost's.
