God's imitator

Chapter 549 Another Salesperson

Back in his room, Huang Shengjie couldn't wait to remove the plastic seal from the bottle and take out the medicine to examine it.

It's still the same small white pill as Class I painkillers, with absolutely no difference.

There were five pills inside. Huang Shengjie poured one out and placed it in his hand.

Then, he began to wait anxiously.

The excruciating pain returned!

Huang Shengjie almost instinctively threw the medicine in his hand into his mouth and swallowed it.

Soon, he felt a strange warm current spread throughout his body, and he instantly felt relaxed and even had a feeling of floating on air.

It's like suddenly becoming completely enlightened, understanding the rules of the world, somewhat like entering a state of meditation or flow.

In that instant, Huang Shengjie seemed to forget that he was still in the life-or-death game in the corridor, and was instantly filled with hope for the future. All problems were no longer problems, and all worries were no longer worries.

All the pain disappeared without a trace.

Of course, perhaps because the pain disappeared so completely, Huang Shengjie seemed to still have some phantom pain, and even felt as if his hands and feet no longer belonged to him.

However, these minor imperfections were quickly overshadowed by the wonderful feeling.

"Phew... So if I just play two more rounds like this, I'll be safe."

"I was initially worried that it would be difficult, but now it seems like it's not so difficult."

"After all, there are five pills in a bottle."

"I was thinking that if one pill couldn't completely relieve the pain, I would have to take a second one, and then five pills might not be enough."

"Now it seems I was overthinking it."

The game rules stated that players must achieve "complete analgesia" in three consecutive rounds of gameplay to be considered fully cured, rather than any three rounds within an hour.

In other words, any interruption or failure to fully relieve pain will lead to failure, which may be the difference between life and death.

As for whether the pain has been completely relieved, there is no indication in the game; players can only rely on their own feelings.

This vague phantom pain might cause some players to hallucinate that the pain hasn't completely disappeared, leading them to take a second pill just to be on the safe side.

Zhang Yuan's statement that two pills were necessary for complete pain relief may have stemmed from this purpose.

Of course, it's also possible that the medication he had was slightly less effective, so he had to take two pills.

Regardless, Huang Shengjie dismissed the idea and determined that he did not need to take a second pill based on his physical condition.

Although he really wanted to eat more.

"This is a special and precious medicine; it cannot be taken anymore."

"If the price stays this way, I might consider buying another bottle, just in case."

"It should also work to relieve ordinary pain, and it's cheaper than the medications you can buy in the break room."

The temporary respite from the risk of death brought Huang Shengjie a great deal of peace of mind, and the painkiller itself also had a calming effect.

However, Huang Shengjie also began to think about another issue.

"So, this game doesn't leave any way for ordinary players to earn visa time at all?"

"I currently have absolutely no way to earn medical points; it's purely a one-way outflow with no inflow."

"Perhaps salespeople, doctors, and patient representatives like Qian Li can profit from the entire drug distribution channel, but I have no chance."

"Looking back now, I should have spent my medical points to meet with the doctor much earlier!"

"If I can get medicine from the doctor, maybe I can play the role of Qian Li. Even if I sell special painkillers to other players at a lower price, I can still make some money. At least I can break even on the 5000 medical points I had when I entered the game."

Huang Shengjie felt it was a great pity; he was too slow to realize it.

But there's nothing that can be done about it. After all, it's the first time new players have participated in a selection game. They're not sensitive enough to many of the rules and can easily fall behind the veteran players. If they fall behind once, they'll fall behind every step of the way.

As long as they can return to the community safely, it's already a very good result.

...Zheng Chunhua waited in the review room.

Soon, indicator lights lit up on three of the four doors: except for Dr. Qin Cheng, whom he had just met in the previous round, all of them had sent applications to him.

Zheng Chunhua waited a moment before accepting the application for the room on the left.

That is, the other salesperson besides Chen Guangming.

Although I don't know Chen Guangming well, judging from our previous meetings, he seems to be a player who is not easy to deal with.

It would be very difficult to get the exact prices of all the drugs from Chen Guangming.

Therefore, Qin Cheng suggested that they meet with another salesperson first.

Comparing the statements of two salespeople greatly increases the reliability of the information obtained.

Soon, another salesperson entered the audit room, the one in the upper left corner of the room layout diagram, facing both area A and area D.

Zheng Chunhua immediately looked at her name: [Community 11 - Bai Zhilan].

This is a girl who looks very young. She only wears light makeup and her hair is simply tied in a single ponytail. If she were wearing a school uniform, people might even mistake her for a high school student.

He even looks a bit younger than Lu Qi, a new player in the community.

Bai Zhilan bowed politely: "Hello, Uncle!"

Zheng Chunhua asked, "Did you bring all the special medications?"

Bai Zhilan quickly nodded: "Yes, I brought them all."

She also placed the four different special drugs on the table.

Zheng Chunhua had already learned the details of these drugs, so after simply checking that the labels and seals were intact, she directly asked, "What are the specific prices of these four drugs?"

However, Bai Zhilan was stumped by the question.

"Ah... the specific prices for each one... I couldn't remember them all..."

Seeing Zheng Chunhua frowning, Bai Zhilan quickly explained, "It's not that I didn't remember at all, Uncle, please let me explain. I didn't mean to not tell you..."

"Here are four kinds of medicine. They all look exactly the same, except for the labels."

"In vending machines, each medicine has a purchase price and a 'suggested retail price range.' The highest and lowest prices of this suggested retail price are two very different figures."

"That means I need to memorize a total of 12 different numbers."

"My memory isn't very good. If I mix things up or get them mixed up, I'll be penalized when I leave the game."

"So I just wrote down a number for each drug that was 'within the recommended retail range', 'had a little profit', and was 'easy to remember'."

"I'm sorry, Uncle, I didn't expect you to ask such detailed questions."

"If you're particularly interested in a certain medication, I'll look it up when I get back, and then I'll tell you the detailed figures next time we meet, okay?"

Bai Zhilan's attitude was very sincere, and she seemed quite embarrassed in her words.

Zheng Chunhua frowned and asked, "Isn't there paper and pen in the room?"

Bai Zhilan quickly waved her hand: "No, there's nothing in the room that can help with memorization, it's all rote memorization."

"Uncle, if you don't believe me, you can ask the other salespeople. What I said is true."

Zheng Chunhua was somewhat surprised; this little incident had disrupted his plans.

However, he couldn't be too harsh on the other party at this point, since everyone's memory is different, and he couldn't force all players to memorize so many numbers in a short period of time.

"Then tell me the price you noted down." Zheng Chunhua tried her best not to show any emotional fluctuation.

Bai Zhilan nodded: "Okay, Uncle, please wait a moment, I need to think about it."

She picked up four bottles of medicine from the table one by one, then frowned slightly and began to recall.
