God's imitator

Chapter 547 The Only Line of Defense
According to the original plan, this game was supposed to be a two-carry-three situation, that is, Ye Lin and Lin Sizhi, two veteran players, would lead Zheng Chunhua, Qin Cheng and Huang Shengjie.

However, since I haven't met Ye Lin and Lin Sizhi yet, I'll have to make the decision myself.

Qin Cheng has always been a very thoughtful player, so Zheng Chunhua chose to listen to his advice.

"Then, Uncle Zheng, you should know what to do next."

Zheng Chunhua thought for a moment: "As an auditor, according to the rules, I directly control the flow of drugs in the entire D area."

"As long as I don't buy it, then the specific drugs will not be able to enter the hands of ordinary players in Zone D."

"So what I need to do next is to buy only Class C and Class M drugs from the salesperson, no matter what happens, and keep the price as low as possible."

"There are two doctors in Zone D, and I haven't met the other doctor yet."

“I can give him the prescribed amount of medicine as you request, so that none of the players in Zone D will be at great risk from taking the medicine.”

Qin Cheng nodded: "Yes, in this game, the significance of the identity of 'auditor' should lie in this."

"It could even be said that as long as the four reviewers can uphold their bottom line, no matter how much the morality of other players declines, it will not affect the final outcome of the game."

Zheng Chunhua's expression was somewhat complicated, and he said with some concern, "If we only look at the rules... that's true."

"But... is it really that simple?"

"Would a copycat allow players to pass the level so easily?"

Qin Cheng nodded: "I'm also worried that there are still some methods hidden in the rules to bypass the reviewers or force them to comply."

"But under the current circumstances, worrying is useless; all we can do is try our best."

Zheng Chunhua looked a little nervous.

Clearly, he hadn't expected to be assigned such an important role in the game, one that could so simply and brutally determine the fate of nearly a quarter of the players.

"Then, what should we do with these medicines?"
"Whether I give you only Class C and Class M drugs, or all of them, is up to you to decide."

"Although Category O and Category F drugs have side effects, they should be able to be used in small quantities as prescription drugs, right?"

Qin Cheng considered for a moment: "No, just give me Class C and Class M instead."

"Don't give me Class O and Class F drugs; keep them all for yourself."

"Because once you distribute these medications to doctors, they may become complacent."

"You are the auditor, and the only line of defense protecting the entire D area. The doctor is not."

"Because there are two doctors in each area, if one doctor opens the door to sell OxyContin or Fentanyl to patients, they can bypass the other doctor and get all the patients infected."

"Because patients can also trade with each other."

"So, Uncle Zheng, the O and F class drugs will stop here with you. Do not distribute them to anyone else."

"This is the auditor's duty, and it is also a responsibility you must bear."

Zheng Chunhua hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "Okay, I'll do my best."

"So, what specific price will we use for the drug transaction?"

Qin Cheng pondered for a moment: "Chen Guangming sold you these four medicines as a package for 3000. This price should be in line with the suggested retail price range for these medicines."

"Because according to the game rules, if the party selling the medicine fails to sell within the specified range, 10% of their earnings will be deducted when they leave the game."

"In the early stages of the game, Chen Guangming would not have intentionally given up that 10% benefit."

"Next time you see him, be firm: only buy the M-class drug and determine the recommended retail range for that drug."

"As for this time, the Class C and Class M drugs... I'll give you 1800."

Zheng Chunhua was taken aback: "I thought you would cut it in half directly, to around 1500. Wouldn't 1800 be too much? After all, the price Chen Guangming offered probably includes a profit margin."

Qin Cheng explained, "Cutting it in half directly is not a safe bet."

"I guess the cost-effectiveness of Class C and Class M drugs will be worse; in other words, they are more expensive."

"Because Class O and Class F drugs are highly addictive, the copycats who designed this game would inevitably want to use them to achieve some specific purpose, which would make them cheaper. Therefore, all things considered, it's safer to give them a little more."

"Of course, Uncle Zheng, you can also meet with another salesperson next time. Getting information from two channels at the same time will be more accurate."

Zheng Chunhua quickly nodded: "Okay, I understand."

"It's so great to meet teammates from the same community in this kind of game."

"As a veteran player, I should have helped you, but in the end, you helped me. I feel a little..."

Qin Cheng shook his head: "We're all in the same community, so we should help each other out. Uncle Zheng, you don't need to worry about it."

"Besides, this time it just so happens to be my area of ​​expertise, and I might need to rely on your experience, Uncle Zheng, in future games."

The meeting time for this round of the game ended, and Qin Cheng and Zheng Chunhua completed the transaction, returning to their rooms with the special drugs they had purchased.

……

Area C.

Huang Shengjie returned to the lounge.

He saw Zhang Yuan come out of his room and instantly felt furious. He rushed up to him and glared at him angrily.

"You fucking..."

Zhang Yuan's expression was calm. He politely kept his distance from Huang Shengjie: "Please calm down if you don't want to suffer an immediate death penalty."

Huang Shengjie's face was grim, but he really had no way to deal with Zhang Yuan right now.

We are now in the fourth round of the game.

Huang Shengjie was still unable to enter the consultation room.

In the first round of the game, he gave 500 medical points, but received no response.
In the second round of the game, he was worried that he would be ostracized by the other players in the lounge after entering the consultation room, so he only gave a token amount.
In the third round of the game, he gritted his teeth and gave 3000 medical points, but still received no response.

Before the start of this fourth round of the game, Huang Shengjie gritted his teeth and gave up 5000 medical points.

To pay this money, Huang Shengjie also spent an extra 1 visa time points and purchased 5000 medical points.

There's no other way; the current situation is a matter of life and death, and we can no longer think about saving time on visa applications.

In Huang Shengjie's view, 5000 medical points is a price that is definitely enough to open the door no matter what.

Since there are two doctors in each area, strictly speaking, Huang Shengjie only needs to compete with two other patients.

One of the patients was Zhang Yuan, and the other was the player who had been in the VIP room the whole time and hadn't come out at all.

Under normal circumstances, these two should have already seen the doctor, so there's no reason for them to ask for more than 5000.

Huang Shengjie did want to see the doctor, but he couldn't blindly go all in on the price, because after seeing the doctor, the doctor might very well continue to ask for an exorbitant price.

Huang Shengjie must set aside a certain budget for purchasing medicines and cannot spend it all on the "opening red envelope".

Now, even 5000 medical points haven't been enough to open the consultation room door. The only reason is that Zhang Yuan or the player in that VIP room has done something shady.

It is very likely that some kind of agreement was reached with the doctor to exclude all other patients.

Zhang Yuan looked at Huang Shengjie and Zhou Xiaoying: "Sorry."

"You two should have figured out the whole story by now, right? I am indeed infected, and I did lie to you."

"But there's no other way. If I don't do this, and I'm the only infected person, the end result will definitely be that I'll be ostracized by you, and we won't be able to reach any cooperation anymore."

"Now, to express my apologies to both of you..."

“I got the medicine from the doctor and I’m willing to sell it to you.”

As Zhang Yuan spoke, he took out two white medicine bottles from his pocket and showed them to the two men.
