Su Qing's worldview had cracked, and she said, "Zhuang Jing, when I reflected on things in the past, you didn't have this attitude, did you?"
"Can't I change my mind? Don't call me so often if it's not important, are we that close?"
Slam, a mother hung up on her daughter.
"Team leader, so you really did reflect before," Gu Ran realized he didn't understand Su Qing at all.
Su Qing's gaze moved from her phone to Gu Ran: "Do you think I'm someone who likes to lie? Even to a flower thief, one must be honest."
What does that mean?!
Gu Ran retorted, "Sorry, I'm superficial, I judge by appearance, I thought you were the type to do anything to achieve your goals."
"For you, I am," Su Qing admitted to this judgment.
"...I can see that, whether it's the desk arrangements, the flower thief, or the phone call just now, they all proved it."
"Don't be so pleased, you have five full years to be tormented by a pretty young psychological doctor."
"Young girls refer to females from 12 to 18 years old, team leader, how old are you this year?"
Su Qing looked at Chen Ke: "I'm sixteen this year, how about you?"
"I'm also sixteen," Chen Ke answered.
The alliance of pretty young girls was formed.
"Your mental ages really aren't very big," Gu Ran said, finishing his last bite of seafood porridge without any seafood.
"Old man talk from a twenty-year-old uncle," they retorted.
Students who possess the qualifications to enter psychological shadows, if they intend to pursue a career as psychological doctors, begin special training from junior high school.
They take professional courses right after junior high school graduation, and by twenty, they can obtain a diploma equivalent to a master's degree in other fields.
Gu Ran and Chen Ke are both twenty; Su Qing graduated earlier than both of them, entering Jinghai a year ahead but is the same age because she is a genius—perhaps also because Zhuang Jing favored her.
"I have a question," the most serious among the three, Chen Ke, said, "Team leader..."
"Call me Su Qing when there are no outsiders," Su Qing said.
This statement made Chen Ke, still green in the field, feel very comfortable, and even Gu Ran thought that people were indeed complex; even Su Qing had a friendly side.
"Um, okay, Su Qing," Chen Ke got used to the address, "I wanted to ask, today we only went to the residences, don't we need to visit the patient wards?"
"My mom... Teacher Zhuang Jing said that we would be receiving the next seriously ill patient, but she'll probably be listed on the official records. If there's an actual operation, she'll be there with us the first time," Su Qing answered.
"That's great!" Chen Ke was excited, "Teacher Zhuang Jing has always been my idol, I want to become an outstanding psychological doctor like her!"
Zhuang Jing, Professor at Haicheng University, Vice Chairman of the Haicheng Psychological Association.
A holder of the [Profession: Tranquil Master];
Able to use [King], [Queen], [Knight]—three types of Mind [Monsters];
An awakener of [Mind World: Blooming Paradise].
This sounds like something out of a fantasy novel, or a card game but, in truth, these things are merely products of the mind, just like "books."
Books are magical, while they have a physical presence, in reality, they are the fruits of the mind.
[Profession Card], [Monsters], [Mind World], these too are fruits of the mind, but they can only be touched and used within the Mind World and have no effect on the real world.
The conditions for using these mental fruits are quite strict; one must have enough mental strength.
It's like reading a good book and frequently using the knowledge within it, yet not being influenced by the book's ideology.
A book might manage it, but mental fruits, once used for a long time, invariably have some level of influence, the more powerful the fruit, the stronger the ideological force and the greater the side effects.
Psychological doctors, for the most part, also need psychological doctors.
Among the mental fruits, [Profession Card], [Monsters] appear randomly in anyone's mind, but only psychological doctors can use them.
Psychological doctors can only enter the minds of patients with psychological shadows, and while erasing these shadows, they occasionally discover these fruits in the mind, harvesting them to take away, which constitutes the main source of mental fruits.
The harvested fruits can only be kept in the [Mind World], which is also one of the basic criteria for opening a clinic.
And [Mind World], anyone can awaken it, but it only becomes possible to enter it if it appears in a psychological doctor.
[Mind World] is essentially the same as psychological shadows, but the former fills one with vigor, keeping them spry even at eighty like they were twenty-one, whereas the latter leads to despair and could even drive one to suicide.
Those who sleep only four hours a day yet are brimming with energy, firm in their actions and positive in life, are almost all people with a [Mind World].
Zhuang Jing, she is a top-level psychological doctor who has awakened her [Mind World].
In her [Mind World: Blossoming Paradise], there are twenty-one [Profession Cards] and thirty-six types of [Monsters].
Only upon receiving a [Profession Card], one is truly considered a psychological doctor, qualified to perform operations.
"Eat up," Su Qing said, "I know you're looking forward to it, once you finish, I'll take you to choose your [Profession Card]."
Gu Ran and Chen Ke were indeed very excited.
