I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 450



Only Noblemtl

Episode 450 Heart Surgery [1]

“Thank you! It worked!”

The 19th century was truly a strange time.

Who knows?

No, the guy who confessed with his own mouth that he was single all his life suddenly has a girlfriend?

“As expected. Men are courageous. Yes, you’ll be getting married, how do you feel?”

“Well… … I can’t help it. Because I love you. I know it’s an unreasonable decision, but Emma is different from other women.”

I don’t think it will end well.

Our Emma is different from others.

Isn’t this a typical comment heading towards a chime ending?

You shouldn’t say things like that, not only in relationships, but also in other places.

Some common examples include looking at pictures of your significant other on a battlefield, talking about your family, and suggesting that we all take pictures together when we get back.

“Yeah, that’s what a man should do. Congratulations.”

“thank you.”

“So, how’s your chest pain?”

“Huh? Huh?”

“Now, think about that girl named Emma. Is she still in pain?”

“Oh, no. It’s okay… … It’s okay.”

Of course, that was only in the future.

If the symptoms were gone, I would be willing to celebrate today as well.

“We fixed it after all.”

So I patted Darwin on the shoulder and cleared my throat.

“Name? Is it different from the others?”

“Yes, we are famous for a reason. Don’t compare us to those from Edinburgh Medical School. It’s very disappointing.”

Liston also joined.

While Darwin was out, I took a quick look around the house, and I thought to myself that this guy was richer than he looked.

It was time to come up with a much grander plan than just a one-time rip-off.

boost.

Yes, it’s sponsorship.

Fortunately, Britain is a country where noblesse oblige is practiced.

It’s not because they’re great, but because they have institutional support, and if they didn’t, they would have a very strong resentment from the people.

“Ah… … Yes, I finally got it. As expected, people who think empirically are good at medicine.”

“Yes, we make an accurate diagnosis based on what we observe and prescribe a treatment accordingly. We just blindly follow the old teachings… … um.”

Liston, who had been trying hard to open his mouth to gaslight, shut his mouth as if he sensed something was a bit strange.

But wasn’t Darwin a smart guy?

It wasn’t of much use.

“Yes, definitely… … I think blindly following old teachings is the thing that a scientist should avoid the most. Hmm.”

There’s one thing I felt when I came here.

Anything big that’s going to happen will happen anyway.

Of course… … .

If I were a real superhuman and did something great, then that would be another matter, but that’s not the case, is it?

I’m just a nerd who has some knowledge about the medical field thanks to living in the future.

‘If Kim Yu-jin from Hell had come, then I don’t know… … No, even that person has no answer in 19th century England.’

On second thought, I don’t think he’s the culprit.

Even though I’m a pretty great person, seeing this happen makes me… well…

“Even so, I’m not planning on doing anything right now. After all, I’m not sure if what I observed was really everything.”

“Uh… … That, that’s right. There’s nothing wrong with being careful. Keep in mind that there have been countless doctors who have killed people by foolishly following our lead.”

Fortunately, Darwin did not run out and publish his theory of evolution right away.

Actually, it can’t be helped.

First of all, too radical an idea is bound to cause bloodshed.

Although it does not call for the overthrow of classes like Marxism, I believe it is just as dangerous because it overturns beliefs that are widely agreed upon throughout the world.

“Yeah, you’re young and full of energy, so it’s good to be careful.”

“Isn’t that sick guy young?”

“Your pronunciation is good?”

“Because I’m good at learning foreign languages ​​quickly.”

“Yeah. Anyway, when you’re young, you can’t even give advice?”

“No, if you’re a sick person, you deserve it.”

I feel like it’s a bit offensive to put ‘kyung’ after ‘kyung’, but looking at his expression, I don’t think that’s the case.

Anyway, now it’s time to get to the main point.

It’s collection time, that’s what I’m saying.

“By the way, Darwin.”

“Please call me Charles.”

“Yeah, is that so, Charles?”

Liston moved at my wink.

Maybe it was because I was originally a person who made a lot of money as a side job, but it felt very natural.

If you put your arm around his shoulder with his thick arm, you can’t help but think, ‘Oh, if I don’t listen to this person’s request today, it’ll be hard for me to get home safely.’

If that place were a home, the fear would be even greater.

Wouldn’t that be so?

He’s not an ordinary guy, and his opponent is Liston.

“You must have felt this while you were on the Beagle this time. Science costs money.”

“Oh, that’s right. It costs a lot of money.”

“You may not have had much difficulty since you are rich, but it must have been difficult for people from such families.”

“Yeah, that’s right. I guess.”

Darwin was probably thinking, ‘So aren’t only those who are somewhat worth living becoming scientists?’

This is because science has become closer to real life than we thought, and as a result, it has started to make money.

Aren’t the workers needed in this era literally workers, not scientists?

Thanks to that, the research institute I run is also able to hire excellent human resources at relatively low cost.

But it’s not very smart to expect a rational direction when talking to Liston.

Darwin, being the smart guy he was, was just giving Liston the answers he wanted.

“We’re not asking you to help us. We’re rich. But… …sigh.”

Liston has also been increasingly interested in acting these days.

This was because wealth and honor in this era were originally closely related to art.

Even in the 21st century, rich people invite famous celebrities to their parties, right?

It’s even worse these days.

This is especially true because in an era where recording, let alone filming, is not possible, art is literally the exclusive domain of the upper class.

“I can’t help but shed tears when I think of my students who have only seen the advancement of medicine and are now struggling to make ends meet… … When they become great doctors in the future, they will be able to treat others just like they did today, just like they cured you, Charles.”

“Oh, that’s such a shame.”

“So, can I ask you for some regular support?”

I don’t think a normal person would say something like that.

Isn’t that a bit like that?

In the first place, it’s not easy to bring up money in a conversation.

This is something that can only be done if you are quite shameless, that’s what I’m saying…

Our liston has laid the iron plate.

In fact, the surface is as hard as an iron plate.

“Yeah, yeah. How much… … .”

“Well… … That depends on what you want. Write it down. Review.”

“Oh, yes, brother.”

I’m not that tough, but you could say I’m one of those shameless people for the sake of humanity.

As you said, it’s not like we’re doing this because we don’t have money.

All for the sake of my juniors… … .

Furthermore, we are doing this for a better future.

That’s why I pushed the contract I had written in advance without any shame.

We had already written down Charles Darwin’s name and signed it, so all Darwin had to do was write down the numbers.

We are so thoughtful.

“that…….”

Darwin first wrote ‘1’ in front.

You might be disappointed by the low numbers, but based on my experience collecting money here and there, it’s actually a good thing.

Usually, people who write high numbers have fewer digits.

It’s not easy for us to ask them to add one more ‘0’.

Because the amount is increasing rapidly.

“hmm.”

“Hmm.”

But if there is a ‘1’ in front, isn’t it not that difficult to add an extra ‘0’ to the end?

Of course, we looked at Darwin with great burden because we knew that people would not actually put into action even if it was a good thing unless they were pressured.

“Is this… … monthly? Or annually?”

“Oh, every year. That’s easier. It’s also easier to pay taxes and send money.”

“okay.”

“You stopped because you thought it was monthly?”

“No… … I’m trying to erase it… … .”

“Haha, why erase what you’ve already written? I think we’ll be of help to you in your research.”

“Yes? How?”

“I don’t know. We just send the data. But I can guarantee that the data will be the best in the country, no, in the world.”

Thanks to this, we were able to extort a considerable amount of money from Darwin every year.

I was worried that I would be uprooting the foundation, but then I thought about it again and realized that I would probably make a lot more money selling Wedgwood pottery than I did.

In addition, we were able to access Darwin’s research materials.

Liston grumbled that there was nothing to be gained by looking into such private research, but I disagree.

Well, I don’t think evolution will be of any direct help to medicine right now.

But the exotic plants it has can be of help if used properly.

I don’t remember there being any Galapagos herbs, but whatever it was, it’d be better than what we’re using here now.

“Whatever it was, it was a success.”

We even got some pretty good wine from Darwin and were drinking it in our assigned bedroom.

The night sky was beautiful, perhaps because it wasn’t London.

The bright moon was enough to provide a meaningful view.

“That’s true. Now that we’re on the subject, how about you start meeting someone now?”

“Me?”

“Yeah, if even a kid like Darwin can do it in one go, why can’t you do it too?”

“I think I objectively look better than him, right?”

“I’ve been watching you for a long time… … so I guess I’m not objective.”

“No, this guy.”

Darwin has already been deleted.

In an age where aging is already rapid, it is only natural that it took five years to get on a ship.

So I got angry and Liston just laughed.

“Anyway, I’ll look into it. I’m looking into it here and there because you seem to be averse to British people.”

“Huh? Why?”

“Are you going to live and die alone?”

“that…….”

I never thought about that.

First of all, I had no intention of associating the word death with myself.

But if you think about it calmly, there’s no guarantee that I can live here comfortably for several more decades.

I may sound presumptuous, but I don’t have a name called Kim Tae-pyeong.

Just as a monk cannot cut his own head, even a surgeon cannot open up his own stomach.

“hmm.”

“Think about it seriously.”

“all right.”

Maybe it’s because it’s night.

Or maybe it’s because I drank alcohol.

I nodded, feeling unusually sentimental, and emptied the remaining alcohol in my glass before falling asleep.

The wine of that era was so bad that I would die of hangover the next day and only be able to return to London the day after that.

London, which I returned to after only two days, was already so noisy and dirty that I couldn’t get used to it.

Above all, the area in front of our hospital was like that.

“Please save me!”

As always, something seemed to have happened again.
