God's imitator

Chapter 541 Pain
Back in his room, Huang Shengjie sat down on the sofa, opened the medicine bottle, took out a pill, placed it in his hand, and waited silently.

But after waiting for more than ten seconds, I did not feel anything unusual.

Just as Huang Shengjie was starting to relax, a sudden pain struck!
Huang Shengjie felt as if he had been instantly pricked by needles all over his body, his ears were ringing, and his mind went completely blank.

He instinctively bent over and curled up.

Fortunately, Huang Shengjie reacted quickly and hurriedly put the pills he had in his hand into his mouth and swallowed them.

Instantly, a wonderful feeling flowed through my body, most of the previous pain disappeared, and I felt completely relaxed.

There is still a noticeable stinging and burning sensation, but it is now completely tolerable.

"Is it effective that quickly?"

Huang Shengjie was momentarily dazed, and even more grateful that he had bought the medicine from the rest room without hesitation in the previous round of the game.

Strictly speaking, this time it wasn't very painful, far less so than the one in the community.

Even without medication, enduring it for one minute shouldn't cause any major problems.

Huang Shengjie began to seriously consider his current situation.

"No wonder there are soft padding around the sharp corners in this room; it's to prevent players from injuring themselves while in pain..."

"In terms of pain level, this is definitely 'normal pain,' which means I am not 'infected.'"

"After all, with that excruciating pain in the community as a reference, it's easy to make a judgment."

"But what if it's a player who hasn't experienced pain in the community? Could it be a misjudgment?"

"This time it probably won't happen, but according to the game, if regular pain is not completely relieved by medication, it will worsen with each round of the game and eventually become 'special pain'."

"The first one or two times before it becomes 'special pain' should be extremely painful. Players who haven't experienced it in the community may find it difficult to perceive the obvious difference, which may lead to misjudgment."

"So for me, having experienced pain in the community turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as I gained additional information?"

"That's dark humor."

There's one pill left in the bottle, so the next round of the game shouldn't be too much of a problem.

"Afterwards, I still need to find opportunities to obtain as much medication as possible, whether from doctors or from vending machines in the break room. In short, even regular painkillers are sufficient."

"As long as you're not unlucky enough to be chosen as an 'infected person,' everything is fine."

The next round of the game was about to begin. Huang Shengjie got up and went to the door of the doctor's "consultation room". He subconsciously wanted to press the "apply" button.

But after thinking about it, he withdrew his hand.

Because what Qian Li said in the previous round of game discussions had already reached a consensus among some players in the lounge.

Players who meet the doctor in the first two rounds of the game are likely to be ostracized.

If the doctor agrees to meet with Huang Shengjie, then he won't be able to appear in the lounge for this round of the game.

By the time he enters the lounge for the third round of the game, he may have already become an ostracized player.

In terms of the rules of the game, the doctor currently only has regular medications, which are exactly the same as those Huang Shengjie bought from the vending machine in the lounge.

Special drugs are in the hands of salespeople, but to get them to doctors, it takes two rounds: salesperson → reviewer, reviewer → doctor.

Therefore, the earliest one can see a doctor is the third round of consultations before it is possible to obtain the special medication.

But it seems like a waste to give up a chance to meet with a doctor.

Huang Shengjie thought for a moment, then symbolically offered 200 medical points, hoping to try his luck.

There was no response.

Huang Shengjie felt a strange sense of relief, but he could only push open the door and enter the lounge. ...

At the same time, Ye Lin had just suffered from pain.

However, compared to Huang Shengjie, her situation is much more optimistic because she has special medications available.

Auditor Shen Qingyun suggested that she take Class C or Class M drugs, so after returning to her room, Ye Lin bought another bottle of Class M drugs and opened it.

Then, she took one Class C drug and one Class M drug and placed them in her two hands.

As soon as the pain started, she took a Class C medication.

The medication worked extremely quickly, suppressing all her pain almost instantly, and she couldn't even feel the slight stinging sensation anymore.

"This painkiller works even better than I expected."

"Moreover, Shen Qingyun said that the efficacy of M-class drugs should be even stronger than that of C-class drugs."

"In other words, Class C drugs should be sufficient to suppress general pain, while Class M drugs should be sufficient to suppress specific pain?"
"With these two medicines, we won't suffer much in this game."

"As a salesperson, you can buy any medicine at any time, and you won't be 'out of stock' due to blockages in the distribution process. Isn't that one of the advantages of having a special status?"

Ye Lin suddenly felt a strong sense of security. According to the game's mechanics, she was indeed no longer at risk of death. All she needed to do now was focus on how to make up for lost time on her visa.

She went to the floor-to-ceiling window, from which she could see through the courtyard the rooms of two auditors, two doctors, and two VIP patients.

However, the floor-to-ceiling windows in these rooms are not very spacious, and you can only see a small part of the room.

Furthermore, if players in the room deliberately avoid the windows or hide, they won't be able to see them.

In the VIP patient room in Zone B, a player was writhing on the floor in pain, looking extremely distressed.

On the coffee table in front of this player, there was an open white bottle. It looked like the player had already taken the medicine, but it didn't seem to have much effect.

Immediately afterwards, with trembling hands, he turned the white bottle upside down and then made a gesture as if to throw the pills into his mouth.

But clearly, even this only provided slight relief, and he was still curled up in pain on the sofa.

"He got the medication, but it should just be regular medication."

"Because even under the best circumstances, special medications require three rounds of processing before they reach the patient."

"He took it twice, but it still couldn't completely relieve the pain. It seems that he was probably experiencing 'special pain'."

"Have infected people already appeared so early?"
"However, this may not be a bad thing. After enduring severe pain, players will definitely be more willing to buy medicine."

"Moreover, he is a VIP patient in Zone B, and I can pinpoint his location, which might be useful information for players in Zone B."

After considering it for a moment, Ye Lin decided to send the application to the clinic where Dr. Shen Qingyun was located first.

According to the game rules, Shen Qingyun will most likely meet with a doctor in this round, but Ye Lin still sent an application, leaving the choice of whether or not to meet with the doctor to the other party.

However, there has been no response for a long time.

This was normal. Ye Lin then sent the application to another auditor, namely the auditor in Zone B.

Soon, the other party approved the application, and Ye Lin took the medicine and pushed open the door to enter.

The reviewer this time was a male player who looked very young, probably only in his early twenties, and quite handsome.

With striking eyebrows, bright eyes, and a high nose bridge, he was considered quite handsome among the players Ye Lin had ever seen.

This made Ye Lin subconsciously look at the name tag on his chest.
