God's imitator

Chapter 545 Acquaintances
Did Zhang Yuan suffer from some serious illness? Did he have a problem with his nervous system? Or did he have an unusually high pain tolerance?

But regardless of the circumstances, Huang Shengjie has now definitively confirmed one fact: he has become infected.

Ordinary medications are no longer sufficient to relieve the pain.

He must obtain special medicine and undergo three rounds of complete analgesia within one hour to be cured, or he will suffer an immediate death penalty.

Time is running out, as there are only 6 rounds of the game per hour.

Huang Shengjie rushed to the consultation room. After considering it, he gritted his teeth and directly entered 3000 medical points.

Although the patients had previously agreed in the break room not to give doctors too many red envelopes or to buy medicine at excessively high prices, it is clear that the mutual trust among the patients has collapsed with the emergence of infected individuals.

Regardless of whether the infected person is Qian Li, Zhang Yuan, or Zhou Xiaoying, the cooperation between the patients is likely to be impossible to continue.

If Huang Shengjie continues to foolishly follow the previous agreement and doesn't give the doctor too many medical points, he might never be able to enter the consultation room.

He must make sure he sees the doctor immediately in the next round of the game and gets the special medicine.

However, after waiting for a while, the door to the consultation room did not open; instead, the 3000 medical points he had submitted were returned.

Huang Shengjie was stunned, which meant there could be two possibilities:
First, the doctor went to see the auditor;
Secondly, there were other patients who offered prices even higher than 3000.

Huang Shengjie's mind went blank. In a fit of impotent rage, he kicked the door of the consultation room and then reluctantly walked back to the lounge.

……

"What's going on?! Are you the infected one?!"

Zhou Xiaoying also looked terrible; her hair was a mess, and her light makeup was smudged.

At this moment, she was both flustered and angry. When she saw Huang Shengjie come out of the room, she immediately went to greet him.

Huang Shengjie looked at the three closed doors in the lounge: "Don't you understand yet? Zhang Yuan is the real infected one! We've all been fooled!"

Zhou Xiaoying clearly found it hard to accept this reality, but after calming down a bit, she began to roughly understand the current situation.

Neither of the VIP rooms on either side were open.

Zhang Yuan's room was also not open.

No one knew what was going on in the VIP room on the far right, but since neither Qian Li nor Zhang Yuan appeared in the lounge, they had most likely gone to see the doctor.

It was perfectly normal for Qian Li to go see the doctor, since she had been framed and ostracized by Zhang Yuan, and there was no point in her coming to the break room. Since the other patients wouldn't accept her, she might as well just slip the doctor a large red envelope and go get the special medication first.

Zhang Yuan's refusal to open the door clearly revealed his betrayal.

Knowing that his infection would be exposed immediately, he gave up more medical points in exchange for a chance to meet with a doctor.

Huang Shengjie realized something was wrong, but he didn't give enough medical points.

On the contrary, Du Peng, who did not engage in any transactions in the previous game, benefited from the misfortune and was not infected.

He rushed to the vending machine to buy medicine.

Zhou Xiaoying looked at Huang Shengjie with some confusion and helplessness: "What should we do now? We need special medicine!"

Based on previous experiences with pain, while Class I analgesics can reduce specific types of pain to some extent, the pain remains moderate, and the inability to completely relieve pain means that the condition cannot be cured.

In other words, Huang Shengjie and Zhou Xiaoying must obtain a special painkiller that can completely relieve their pain within one hour, or they will surely die.

Huang Shengjie forced himself to calm down and, after Du Peng finished buying the medicine, said to the two of them:

"The two of us, the three of us, are clearly the weakest players in this lounge. We are the ones who should cooperate the most!"
"Qian Li is a VIP patient. Judging from the current situation, she is not infected. However, after what happened before, she should have changed her attitude and now only wants to protect herself."

"Zhang Yuan is a player with malicious intent. He just wants to drag us down with him, but his true colors have been exposed. We will never trust him again!"

"But now the three of us are in a troublesome situation. There are already three infected people in the lounge: me, Zhou Xiaoying, and Zhang Yuan."

"If Zhou Xiaoying and I were also malicious players, we could easily have taken over the vending machines first, leaving you with no medicine to buy."

"Because if we buy first, it's like polluting the vending machine."

"Without medication, your regular pain will continue to worsen and eventually become unusual pain. But Zhou Xiaoying and I don't need to do that. We can also help you block Zhang Yuan so you can buy medication reliably."

"So, the three of us teamed up and decided to see the doctor as much as possible in the next round of the game, and whoever gets the special medicine should share it with the other two players."

What do you think?

Zhou Xiaoying and Du Peng looked at each other and nodded.

"it is good."

As this round of the game was about to end, Huang Shengjie and Zhou Xiaoying were both feeling down. Although the three weakest players had initially established a partnership, no one knew how long this partnership would last.

They each returned to their own rooms.

……

Earlier, in the second round of the game.

Qin Cheng from Zone D submitted another application to the review office.

The application was approved, and the door was opened.

He entered the room and was somewhat surprised to find that he actually knew the players inside.

It's Zheng Chunhua from the same community.

This morning, before entering the game, Qin Cheng was still asking Zheng Chunhua about her pain.

When the two met, they both saw joy on each other's faces.

After all, this is a selection game with 40 players, and only 5 players from the second community participated. It is quite possible that they will not encounter any players from the same community throughout the entire process.

Now that players in the same community can meet and trust each other unconditionally, it is certainly something to celebrate.

"Dr. Qin! That's great! I thought I probably wouldn't run into anyone I knew in this game."

"If I had known, I should have chosen to meet you first in the last round of the game."

Zheng Chunhua gestured for Qin Cheng to sit down opposite her.

The audit room was cramped, and the two of them felt a bit uncomfortable sitting there.

Qin Cheng took out a bottle of Class I drugs from his pocket and placed it on the table: "These are the kinds of drugs that doctors can get."

"Uncle Zheng, in the last round of the game, did you meet with the salesperson or another doctor?"
"Have you received the medicine from the sales department?"

Zheng Chunhua nodded hurriedly: "I went to see the salesperson and got the medicine!"

There are four types in total, take a look.

As Zheng Chunhua spoke, she placed four small white bottles labeled C, M, O, and F on the table.

Qin Cheng casually picked up the Class C drug and nodded slightly: "Hmm... it really is an abbreviation, not Roman numerals."

That's right.

"Uncle Zheng, what was the salesperson's name? Was he a player you knew?"

Zheng Chunhua was somewhat surprised, because new players usually wouldn't care about this kind of question, since even if they were told, they probably wouldn't recognize the name.

But Qin Cheng is different from the average new player; he consciously collects all information in the game, even if some information seems meaningless at the moment.

This is actually a sign of outstanding ability.

Zheng Chunhua truthfully stated, "It's a player named Chen Guangming, from Community 12. I haven't seen him before, so he must be from another region."

Qin Cheng nodded. He didn't recognize the name either, but he still memorized it, thinking he might need it in the future.

He unscrewed each of the four bottles and checked the four different medications.
