Chapter 214 Split the Hospital

"Your organs are prettier than I thought."

"The liver was in perfect shape, exactly as in the book, and the stomach was very tender..."

When Xu Zhiyan heard this, the veins on his forehead were about to jump.

"……Thank you for the compliment?"

Is there anyone who praises people like this! Your stomach is very tender? Where is the hot pot?

Fortunately, the whole touching process did not last long, and after a few minutes, he was finally let go.

Doctor Bai narrowed his eyes and smiled with satisfaction.

However, when he retreated to the sink to disinfect and wash his hands again, he looked down at the marks on his right hand and said regretfully: "But it seems that there is something wrong with your blood vessels. These ugly things actually attacked me."

Hearing the disgust that seemed to be about to overflow from the other party, Xu Zhiyan leaned against the door, speechless for a while.

“…”

I don't know why, but when he heard that the ghosts and gods sliced the slices and disliked the other parts, he was not surprised at all? After all, when Party A talked about slicing, his attitude was also very disdainful. It was really a natural inheritance.

He lifted his clothes and looked at his belly.

`

Skin is smooth and free of marks.

It was as if Dr. Bai had just reached out and touched me, but it was just an illusion.

Xu Zhiyan said nothing more.

He thought of the hint for the new setting.

In the copy, as a paranoid patient, everything he sees may not be true.

After adjusting his breathing, Xu Zhiyan stood up straight, adjusted his collar, walked quickly forward, and reached into the doctor's coat pocket to take out a small pill in a transparent bag.

Two pills, no more, no less.

"When will you give me the rest of the medicine?"

Dr. Bai answered calmly while buttoning his clothes.

"It's hard to get a lot of inhibitory drugs at once. I'll give you two pills a day."

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Xu Zhiyan raised his eyebrows and said, "This is different from what we agreed on. You have to pay some interest for the installment, right?"

If you take two pills a day, it will take ten days.

It’s been too long. After all, no one knows whether the players can stay in this dungeon for so many days.

Seeing the smile on the doctor's face fade a little, he glanced at his task board, confirmed that there was still some time to find a ward, and proposed a new plan for discussion.

"Five pills a day."

I might have to meet up with other players soon, and I'm not sure if there will be any disputes, so the more of these universal medicines the better.

This number might indeed be a bit too much, and Dr. Bai's expression was not as happy as before.

"Are you negotiating terms with me?"

His voice was much lowered, and it sounded inexplicably dangerous.

However, considering his fondness for the patient in front of him, Dr. Bai softened his expression and said, "It's more difficult to get the medicine than you think."

After hearing this, Xu Zhiyan's eyes were filled with surprise.

He quickly took over the conversation: "So you can do it, but it's a bit troublesome, right?"

Doctor Bai looked a little confused.

"Do you think you can force me to do anything?"

The original intention of the explanation is to tell the other party not to continue to push the issue, not to allow the other party to take advantage of you.

But there is no such thing as "enough is enough" in Xu Zhiyan's world.

He shook his head and smiled gently.

"How could that be? You are my attending physician. I am just making a deal with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire clinic became extremely quiet. Only Doctor Bai's expression changed, from being indifferent just now to frowning with an expression of disbelief.

[Forced trading is enabled.]

A strange sound echoed in my head.

Bai Jin turned his head suddenly, but found nothing around him.

Xu Zhiyan looked at the other person's alert expression and resisted the urge to curl the corners of his mouth.

[Party A's compensation: To be determined (not paid)]

[Player Xu Zhiyan (Party A), please show the transaction item.]

[Party B’s compensation: inhibitory drugs X5/24h (unpaid)]

[Doctor Bai Jin (Party B), please show the transaction item.]

"I hope you can pay me on time."

"remuneration?"

Listening to the patient's light voice, Dr. Bai calmed down for a moment.

Although he didn't quite understand what was happening, the feeling of forcibly implanting thoughts into his brain was somewhat familiar to him.

Soon, he figured out the current situation from the message he received - the young man in front of him with a sly smile forced him to make a deal, and he had to provide the other party with five pills every twenty-four hours.

Xu Zhiyan had a relaxed expression and was guiding the other person without leaving any trace.

"Anyway, I have already reached a consensus with Doctor Bai. You can touch my internal organs as you like without hurting me. This is my payment."

As long as the other party nodded, he only needed to let this perverted doctor touch his internal organs, and he would be able to get five pills every day without fail.

Unexpectedly, just as Xu Zhiyan's abacus beads were clacking, Dr. Bai shook his head.

"No, I think I need new compensation."

“…”

Xu Zhiyan didn't show it on his face, but he cursed in his heart.

As expected, the object of forced transaction needs to be carefully selected, preferably a monster with some intelligence in the copy but not much. The slice in front of him has a brain and quickly reacted to the imbalance in the transaction content.

If that doesn't work, he will have no choice but to breach the contract.

Xu Zhiyan felt Dr. Bai's burning gaze on him again. The other party seemed to be scanning something, looking him over carefully from head to toe.

"I want your internal organs."

Xu Zhiyan's mouth twitched, and while the specific transaction content had not yet been finalized, he exercised his rights as the owner of the skill and stopped the other party from asking for compensation.

"Humans will die without organs. Perhaps you can make some other requests."

He was neither humble nor arrogant, and started to argue.

"Doctor Bai, I don't think you want me to die, right? Why don't we talk about other things? I can do a lot of things..."

…

A few minutes later, Xu Zhiyan stepped out of the clinic and slammed the door shut.

Eventually he and Slice reached a new deal.

[Party A’s compensation: organs/24h (unpaid)]

[Player Xu Zhiyan (Party A), please show the transaction item.]

The other party's hobby is to collect various human organs in perfect shapes, and it is said that he seems to own a laboratory filled with these messy organs, and even the content of the experiments is related to them.

After making sure that Xu Zhiyan himself could not be used as a trading item, Dr. Bai proposed that Xu Zhiyan help him find an organ every day.

Xu Zhiyan pinched the bridge of his nose and walked towards the nurses' station, his mind full of what Doctor Bai had just said.

"My original intention of becoming a doctor was to find the perfect internal organs."

'But I'm not a murderer, I prefer to take what I want from the dead.'

'Strangely enough, this hospital doesn't have a morgue.'

Thinking of the last sentence, Xu Zhiyan staggered.

He was asked to go find the morgue where he couldn't even find the slices? And this was an infinite game, so a morgue sounded scary, didn't it?

But considering the new deal, he became restless again.

This forced trade with Slice triggered a more detailed explanation of the trade, something new that had not been seen in previous trades with lower creatures.

[Transaction details: Party A (Xu Zhiyan) and Party B (Bai Jin) reached a transaction. Party A must provide Party B with an organ (1) every 24 hours, and Party B will pay for the inhibitory drug (5 pills).]

[Transaction Note: Organ (1) = Inhibitory Drug (5 pills). Party A can provide multiple times a day. Party B cannot refuse the transaction and must pay the corresponding compensation.]

After all, he is the skill owner.

Generally speaking, this forced transaction skill is more biased towards Party A and has a stronger restraining effect on Party B.

Thinking of Dr. Bai's unpredictable face when he left, Xu Zhiyan sighed and quickened his pace.

In the live broadcast room, the audience began to light candles for Xu Zhiyan.

[So did Xiao Baiwan offend his attending physician? ]

[I see that other people have also offended the attending doctor, so it should be okay, right? Isn't it just an NPC? ]

[But only the attending physician can remove the infection! ]

[It's okay, right? Xiao Baiwan has teammates and money. He can use the inhibitory drugs to get connections from other players and let other doctors help him remove the pollutants from his body.]

[I think that's what he thinks. There are so many people.]

[Bullshit! I just saw someone get the word out of the NPC doctor. The player's attending doctor is the only NPC who can help the player clear the "infection" in the body! ]

[Wow, that little millionaire has really offended the attending doctor this time, isn't he doomed? ]

[It's so funny, he's not as good as the male mother. Although he was seriously injured, he managed to convince the attending doctor, so it's not a loss. ]

[Emm, but why do I feel that the doctor is not that angry? ]

Xu Zhiyan, who didn't know any other information yet, was still thinking about how to find his teammates.

I don’t know if it’s because the main system issues instructions to the NPC, but after completing Task 1, it becomes particularly convenient for players to obtain identities.

As soon as he reached the nurses' station, the nurse who had just been taking a nap came up to him enthusiastically, started working on the computer, and quickly assigned him a new identity.

"Do you need me to take you there? But it might be faster if you go there by yourself."

Listening to the nurse's words, Xu Zhiyan did not hastily decide whether to have her accompany him. Instead, he scratched his hair and asked, "Will it take a long time if we walk together?"

"It will take about half an hour." The nurse replied.

Xu Zhiyan thought for a moment and said with a smile:

"Then please take me there."

Mikang Hospital is very big.

Hospitalization and medical consultation are not in the same building.

It was not until he followed the nurse out of the outpatient building that Xu Zhiyan was finally able to take a good look at the place.

As a private hospital, Mikan Hospital, like other psychiatric treatment centers, charges high fees but has a very beautiful environment. It covers a large area, with various green plants planted between each building. There is even a large garden in front of the inpatient building.

It seems that other players should be distributed in other consultation buildings.

Looking into the distance, Xu Zhiyan found the scenery here a bit strange.

There are no decent buildings around, only endless grassland, swaying gently in the wind under the midday sun, which is very beautiful.

Xu Zhiyan retracted his gaze and followed the nurse's steps. As he walked through the garden, he glanced around casually and asked indirectly, "What are the other buildings used for?"

It was strange. If the building he stayed in was the consultation building, then what were the other buildings? This was mainly for treating mental illness, and it wasn't a general hospital. It couldn't be divided into internal medicine and surgery buildings, right?

This is not an issue that needs to be hidden.

The nurse smiled sweetly and replied, "These are all consultation buildings. That's consultation building number one, number two, number three... We came from consultation building number nine."

Xu Zhiyan nodded and asked curiously.

"Is there only one building for the inpatient department? By the way, are there any other functional buildings, such as a cafeteria?"

It seems that it is not very practical to go to the consultation building to find teammates, so I have to start from the inpatient department.

"We have to go there quickly."

When she heard the second question, the nurse looked straight ahead and answered irrelevantly. No matter how Xu Zhiyan asked afterwards, she did not speak again.

Seeing this, Xu Zhiyan did not force it.

Xiaoyi has a keen sense of smell, and even if he doesn't take the initiative to find Jinsheng, Xiaoyi can still gather them all together.

The light floral scent mixed with the fresh smell of grass is refreshing.

When he passed a tree stump that was trimmed into the shape of an animal again, Xu Zhiyan heard the nurse speak.

"Breathing more fresh air will be good for your condition."

Although he didn't understand why the other party said that, Xu Zhiyan still thanked her politely. He thought the nurse would not say anything more.

"Thank you... Is there anything else I can know? Like can we come to the garden in the evening?"

He hasn't given up on getting information from the nurse.

However, the other party just shook his head, hurriedly quickened his pace, and muttered: "The inpatient department has curfew at night. If you want to leave at night, you must get the consent of the head nurse."

Xu Zhiyan followed the other party and asked again for more information, but got no answer. It was as if the nurse was deaf.

After the two walked for a while, the nurse slowed down her pace and spoke again with a smile.

"In the inpatient department, you must wear your own clothes."

Xu Zhiyan took note of the message carefully.

Each copy will have special restrictions for players. The nurse in front of him seemed like an NPC who told him the hospital rules, but she did not say it directly. Instead, she gave the player some space to ask questions.

She would answer the first question that came up.

Suddenly, Xu Zhiyan stopped where he was, as if he had thought of something. He looked back and saw that the nurse beside him had also stopped and did not urge him.

Something is wrong. We have been walking for too long.

It had been more than ten minutes since he and the nurse entered the garden, but when he looked back, he had only walked two-thirds of the distance.

The two of them walked at a fast pace and in a straight line. Even though the garden was very large, they could still walk at least one kilometer in ten minutes.

This garden is not so ridiculously large.

His perception seemed to be modified.

Glimpse of the shaped tree stumps one after another, watching the strange shapes on them doing different movements, one, two, three...

Soon, Xu Zhiyan figured out the pattern.

Every time they passed six shaped tree stumps, the nurse would speak once, saying something that he wasn't sure if it was a rule, and then answer one of his questions.

Walking with a nurse will modify cognition, but the nurse can provide clues.

This should be the reward from the main system to the player who completes the task first, but this reward is very obscure. If the player does not ask questions actively, or just answers casually, he may not get any clues.

Looking forward, he saw that there were less than six tree stumps left. This might be his last problem.

Considering that Task 2 was about to expire, Xu Zhiyan turned back and continued moving forward.

“What will happen to the patient when he gets sick?”

He has to seize the opportunity for the other party to answer the question.

The nurse paused, as if she had thought of something horrible, and raised her voice.

"When the patient has an attack, he is very scary. He will keep attacking everything around him, whether it is the doctors or nurses, or even other patients and the tables and chairs in the ward. So every time the patient has an attack, we will put him in solitary confinement."

There was a hint of relief in her voice.

I don’t know whether he was glad that he was not a patient, or that he was glad that he could lock up the crazy patient.

"Thanks."

Xu Zhiyan thanked him politely, but he was feeling resentful in his heart.

This answer is a bit... too normal.

Unlike the previous advice and clues that sounded straightforward, this time the nurse described the answer entirely from her own perspective, and it didn't sound much different from the mental hospital in the real world.

Uncontrollable crazy patients will be given sedatives, which is an effective and quick method.

Just as he expected.

The question just now was his last chance.

After walking quickly for a few more minutes, until they left the garden, the nurse did not speak again, nor did she respond to any other questions.

The two walked through the garden and came to the inpatient building.

It seemed like a coincidence, or perhaps random, that Xu Zhiyan's building was the outermost and his ward was on the third floor.

"According to your situation, you should stay in a triple room."

"But Doctor Bai moved you to a single room through the hospital system."

"Thank you, thank you?"

Xu Zhiyan was a little shocked. He thought that after the forced transaction, Slice would start to turn against him, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually transfer him to another ward?

He walked to the window and found that across the garden from this building was Consultation Building No. 9... and his window was facing Bai Jin's clinic.

Tsk, I always feel that the other party has bad intentions.

There are pros and cons to single rooms.

The advantage is that if the patient is a monster or has an illness, you may be affected. The disadvantage is that there are fewer NPCs you can communicate with and more content to explore.

A few minutes later, the nurse brought a hospital gown, put the patient's bracelet on Xu Zhiyan, and then left.

Xu Zhiyan was the only one left in the single room.

【Task 2: Find your own residence. 】

[Progress: 100%]

Task 2 was completed and Xu Zhiyan found the reward in the drawer.

The small white pill was wrapped in a square of brown kraft paper. He took it out and put it in the bag that Slice had given him in his pocket.

"Three pills... I don't know how long they will last." Leaning against the window, Xu Zhiyan began to integrate the information he had obtained so far.

[Name: Xu Zhiyan]

[Status: Waiting for the disease to occur (mandatory status)]

[Mental Threshold: 0-92]

[Current Spirit: 83]

There is an additional mandatory status in his status bar. The status with this note cannot be removed.

It is currently known that after entering the game, all players will be in an abnormal state. If the nurse's prompt is correct, once the disease occurs, the player will be forced to be confined...

Confinement means limiting freedom and preventing exploration.

"It's a bit troublesome." He scratched his hair and changed into his hospital gown.

In his new in-game settings, the identity of Dr. Bai's assistant is currently available and has not disappeared due to the forced transaction.

Before he left, he made an appointment with Slice to meet tomorrow morning. Now he should act like a patient and try to get some information from him.

Just as Xu Zhiyan changed into his hospital gown and carefully selected a handful of ballpoint pens from Yaya's backpack, intending to use them to bribe the nurses, the time limit for Task 2 expired and a new notification popped up.

[Players who have not yet completed Task 1 and Task 2, please complete them as soon as possible. 】

[After ten minutes, the players will enter the sick state. ]

[Hint: The drug (1 pill) can suppress the onset of disease (1 time) but must be taken before the disease occurs. / Ten minutes before each disease occurs, the player will receive a reminder. / The number of diseases that occur per person per day is not fixed. ]

After reading the message, Xu Zhiyan turned around and returned to the window.

He opened the drawer and threw a handful of ballpoint pens into it. He took out three pills and felt a little worried.

The information we got from the doctor indicated that the patient was relatively stable during the day, and the attacks were more frequent and more severe at night. However, it was still sunny outside, and the players were about to experience their first attack...

The garden downstairs was still empty.

No other players are currently present here.

Do you want to take medicine?

Xu Zhiyan stared at the medicine in his palm, hesitated for a few seconds, and called up the game panel. He wanted to confirm some information.

"If tasks 1 and 2 are not completed, will they be declared dead?"

【Transferring for you. 】

[Hello, the time prompted for this task is just a reference time. If you do not complete it within the reference time, you will not die immediately. ]

[For mandatory time tasks with tragic consequences, a countdown will be given. ]

"Okay got it, thank you."

Xu Zhiyan put the medicine back into his pocket.

Forget it, I won’t eat it for now.

Failure to complete the first two tasks will not result in immediate death, but will only result in an illness state. If a player is able to complete the tasks while in the illness state, it will be considered completed.

It sounds doubly difficult.

But since the game determines that other players can complete tasks while being sick, Xu Zhiyan feels that being sick doesn’t seem to be a big problem?

He walked to the door and locked it.

After making sure that the door could not be opened from the outside, he turned around and lay back on the bed, quietly waiting for the onset of the disease.

Threatening Bai Jin to give him more drugs was to make a profit from the price difference.

Each player will get sick several times a day, and these medicines are obviously not enough. As a businessman, he must first understand the specific circumstances of the disease before he can set a price.

“I hope to get a satisfactory result.”

It was a bit risky to do so, but his greed had already penetrated into his bones, and this risk was insignificant compared to the profit.

Time passes by little by little.

Xu Zhiyan lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling.

Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he took out a telescope from his prop bag and wanted to take a look at Dr. Bai's clinic.

The moment he stood up, the onset of the disease came. After a dizziness, Xu Zhiyan barely stood up by holding on to the edge of the bed.

The view outside the window changed.

It was pitch black and turned into night.

He walked to the window and raised the telescope. The window seemed to be covered with black mud. He could only vaguely see the moving shadows in the clinic opposite. The room was also extremely dark because the lights were not on.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of dripping water.

“Tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-”

"Tick-tick-tick-"

The sound was getting faster and closer.

The next moment, water drops fell on the back of Xu Zhiyan's neck. He had no time to pay attention to it. If he raised his head, he would see a crack on his ceiling, and sticky water stains like saliva were dripping out of it.

But Xu Zhiyan still held the props and stood there motionless.

【Name: Monocular Telescope】

[Rank: B]

[Type: Auxiliary]

[Introduction: A pure silver telescope with a mermaid carved on it. If used for observation, you can obtain the current conversation content of the person being observed, even if you cannot see the person's mouth.]

[Notes: Consume 1 point of spirit per minute]

[Spiritual Threshold Limit: 50]

Although it is not clear, the telescope can lock onto the person being observed, and now it is locking onto Dr. Bai.

Xu Zhiyan obtained the conversation between the other party and the nurse.

[Is he ill? I am his attending physician. If he is ill, bring him to my confinement room.]

[Don't worry, he can't run away.]

Putting down the telescope, Xu Zhiyan's expression became solemn.

"This kid... is waiting for me here?"

The patient would only be put in the attending physician's confinement room, which was something the nurse did not tell her.

Damn, he was wondering why Dr. Bai wasn’t angry at all even though he was forced into a trade. He was such a scheming ghost.
