Still 70, Let's go
-----
After Chopper awkwardly twisted for three or four seconds, his phone suddenly started ringing incessantly. In just a few minutes, the number of background message notifications reached 99+!
Because the messages were so frequent, the notification sound became extremely sharp, startling Chopper, who was immersed in emotion.
"Ah? What's happening? Is the phone going to explode?!" Chopper exclaimed, immediately throwing the phone far away and cautiously hiding behind the door, with his body exposed but his head completely hidden, waiting for the phone to explode.
But after waiting for a long time, he found that the phone kept ringing, but there were no signs of explosion.
"What on earth is going on? Isn't the phone supposed to explode?"
Chopper stared at the phone with lingering fear for a while before finally mustering the courage to walk out from behind the door.
He waited for a moment longer, and after confirming that the phone would not explode, he approached it step by step and picked it up.
Then, he discovered that they were message after message!
"How can there be so many comments?" Chopper immediately tapped into the comment section.
: Hahaha, this little reindeer is too cute, followed!
: Caught a talking reindeer, and he's even a doctor! Drum Kingdom, I think I have some impression of it.
: What do you mean deceiving everyone? It's common for animals to use phones. My dog can use a phone!
: Will there be a discount on medicine in the future? Getting injured is commonplace as a pirate, so having a special medicine would be best.
: ...
When he saw that no one in the comment section was complaining about him or even scolding him for his deception, Chopper was completely shocked and speechless.
"Everyone... everyone actually... actually..."
At the same time, his follower count was skyrocketing!
Because more people were recommending him, after a wave of filtering, those who liked Chopper and needed medicine simply followed him.
After all, who can guarantee they won't need to see a doctor their entire life?
Chopper was also stunned by the sudden increase in followers and immediately ran to find Dr. Kureha.
"Doctorine, Doctorine!" He stumbled into Dr. Kureha's room and found her still drinking.
Chopper didn't care about anything else and immediately explained the situation.
"Hahaha, Chopper, you're going to be famous! Quickly post a thank-you video and tell everyone to come to us for medicine from now on. That cow Dalton is too stupid, it seems my Chopper is the best," Dr. Kureha said with a laugh.
The sudden praise caught Chopper off guard, but he quickly updated his thank-you video while his little heart thumped, watching the rising number of followers, wondering how many he would get.
"The feeling of being accepted... it's too good!"
Three days later, Marine Headquarters.
Helmeppo had returned to his usual training, and like Coby, he added extra training for himself every day.
The reason was simple: Coby's phone had been confiscated. What else was there to do without a phone? Nothing but training. And Coby wouldn't let him use his phone either, so training was the only option.
Moreover, the demand for phones was booming now. He didn't know about other islands, but here at Marine Headquarters, phones were truly scarce. You couldn't buy them through ordinary channels, and even lining up would take several days.
Although there were scalpers in the Marines, the price of phones in their hands was unaffordable with their current salaries; they would need to save up for a month.
The two of them were drenched in sweat, sitting on the ground exhausted, their clothes soaked with sweat, their muscles aching from fatigue, and they were applying liniment.
Generally, Marine bases would provide each Marine with specialized medicine, but it was rationed and not given away without limit.
So, if they trained extra without the corresponding medicine to recover their bodies, not only would it not have a training effect, but it would also overload their bodies and cause them to deteriorate faster.
"Helmeppo, where did you buy this bruise and sprain medicine? It's quite effective."
Coby carefully poured the medicine into his palm, rubbed it evenly twice, and then applied it to his arm muscles.
As the medicine took effect, Coby clearly felt his burning muscles gradually cool down, like the refreshing feeling of a glass of iced cola on a hot summer day.
"Good stuff, it's even better than the medicine provided by Marine Headquarters!"
Coby's eyes lit up as he looked at the nameless medicine in his hand with surprise. There was just a hoof-shaped pattern at the bottom of the bottle, like some kind of mark.
"Of course, don't you see who I am?" Helmeppo laughed heartily, immediately getting carried away. "Coby, you absolutely won't guess who made this medicine."
"Who? Tell me quickly, don't keep me in suspense," Coby asked eagerly.
Helmeppo chuckled, his expression also becoming serious. "Honestly, you might not believe it, but this medicine was made by a reindeer."
"It was a reindeer!" Coby was dumbfounded. "Since when do reindeer know how to practice medicine?"
"It's a reindeer who ate a Devil Fruit, can speak human language, and his name is Chopper. He's also a doctor," Helmeppo said with a shrug. "At the time, I just bought it to support him, I didn't expect the medicine to have any effect. After all, what good medicine could a deer make, let alone one that surpasses the medicine at the Marine base. But I didn't expect..."
He looked at Coby, his eyes full of shock. "I didn't expect the effect to be surprisingly good!"
Coby also listened with a shocked expression. It seemed like all the good things happened to him. Even something as incredibly low-probability as buying medicine like this happened to him. He had to re-evaluate his friend.
"You're really bold. Aren't you afraid of buying poison and getting me poisoned?"
Helmeppo gave him a speechless look, as if to say: Do I look like an idiot?
"Don't guess wildly, Dr. Chopper is a cute and excellent doctor, and the medicine he sells has after-sales service," Helmeppo patiently explained.
Coby was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard. "After-sales service? What kind of service?"
"Maybe it's because his TikTok account is just starting out, but Dr. Chopper is really reliable when selling medicine!"
At this point, Helmeppo looked solemn and spoke seriously, "Every prescription for every patient is personally reviewed by Dr. Chopper, and if the patient has any problems later, Dr. Chopper will be responsible until the patient is completely healed!"
Coby listened with eyes full of respect. This kind of doctor is a true good doctor!
"Helmeppo, Dr. Chopper is really a good doctor. Help me place a few more orders. This medicine is really too effective."
As he spoke, Coby already felt that the swelling and soreness in his muscles had mostly dissipated. He could continue training and getting stronger!
"Don't worry, I've already prepared it for you, but I spent all my salary this month on the medicine, so I can't buy a phone," Helmeppo said somewhat helplessly.
Coby: ...
Not having a phone was even more unbearable than killing him. It had been so long since he had seen those young ladies, surely they hadn't forgotten him already!
But there was nothing he could do. Who told him to step into the training ground with his left foot first during the training assembly that day... and then have his phone confiscated by Commander Bogard...
