Chapter 152 Jishi Medical University 10

This laboratory building is where Professor Frankenstein's home turf is located. However, Yu Naixin is still not quite sure how big this turf is. Does it only contain one laboratory, several laboratories, or even more exaggeratedly, does it include this entire floor or even several floors?

However, since the Frankenstein's monster professor has placed the "white coat," a rather important prop, in this dissection lab, Yu Naixin can be fairly certain that his domain covers at least the adjacent specimen lab and this lab.

Being able to observe another guest's home turf so closely within the home turf of one guest was quite a novel experience for Yu Naixin.

Aside from the exceptionally short and unique "Swan Castle" episode, which resulted in no single guest having their own main stage, the male guests' main stages in the other two episodes that Yu Naixin participated in were quite far apart from each other.

This aligns well with the principle of competitors dividing up territory and minimizing their influence from each other.

In the segment "Jishi Medical University," Yu Naixin estimated that if she opened the window and stretched her hand out, her fingertips could easily touch the outermost aerial roots of the banyan tree.

Every time I see the Frankenstein's monster and the banyan tree spirit appear on screen together, I find it strangely funny. Even ordinary people are more prone to friction when they live close by, let alone these two competitors whose relationship is one of mutual benefit. With "Heartbeat 1000%" placing their scenes so close together, how could there not be numerous conflicts?

[Normally, the other guests on the same show would harbor hatred and resentment towards each other. But with these two guests, it was more like they were seeing cockroaches—disgusted and disgusted, hahaha!]

There was nothing we could do. The venue for this episode was really small at the beginning. Although it was called "Jishi Medical University," it was completely misnamed. It only had two floors of experimental buildings and a large banyan tree outside. Later, it gradually expanded into a real "university," and the experimental building added a third and fourth floor.

[Many variety shows expand their venue size as the number of episodes increases, but very few reach the level of "Jishi Medical University." The initial venue layout doesn't change much unless the entire variety show undergoes a significant mutation. The Frankenstein's monster professor and the Banyan Tree Youth are probably already hoping that "Jishi Medical University" will mutate and proliferate. Having another competitor with little foundation is better than continuing to face off against the other side on their home turf.]

As the only thing that could physically separate the Frankenstein's monster professor from the banyan spirit youth's home turf, this window, along with the entire surrounding wall, unsurprisingly received "extra attention" from the two dungeon guests.

All the experimental workbenches on this side have been moved quite a bit towards the center. Before Yu Naixin could even get properly close to the window, and was still nearly two meters away from the wall, she could feel the darkness in the air becoming thicker and more viscous, truly materializing and building a thick wall here.

Outside the window, the seemingly quiet aerial roots of the banyan trees were clearly not just simple plant decorations. With Yu Naixin's keen eyesight, it was clear that not only had the space inside the window been manipulated by the Frankenstein's monster, but the space outside the window had also been altered by the banyan tree spirit. As a result, when Yu Naixin looked at it for a couple of seconds longer, it was as if she had suddenly become severely nearsighted and had astigmatism, and her vision became blurry.

Yu Naixin really wanted to observe in person how true the second terrifying rumor about Jishi Medical University, "the aerial roots of banyan trees turn blood red at night," was, but it seems that it will be difficult to do so for the time being. The light was already terribly dim, and her vision was impaired, so she couldn't see anything clearly.

Walking past this wall, which is at least two meters thick, Yu Naixin looked around the entire laboratory but found no "white coats" anywhere.

Unlike the previous specimen laboratory where everything was "open to the naked eye," this dissection laboratory's dissection table had its own cabinet, so theoretically the white coats might be hidden in one of the cabinets.

However, Yu Naixin was not conducting the search alone. This kind of place, full of shadows, was the perfect stage for the priest's folding fan and paper dog. The two special magical artifacts had already checked every nook and cranny, and the information they reported back to Yu Naixin was that there was nothing there.

The efficiency of the three "people" was undeniably high. However, the dissection lab was large and contained many items. At Yu Naixin's request, the priest folding fan and the paper dog worked as discreetly as possible. By the time they finished, two-thirds of the time had passed since the "three minutes" mentioned by the Frankenstein professor.

[Sigh, I thought this "Yao Ling" would be the first guest to find the "white coat," after all, her previous performance was too impressive. It seems it won't work out.]

[The autopsy lab has white coats; finding them within three minutes guarantees the guest's safety through tonight's crisis. This is one of the few truths the Stitches tells the guest. His complete hunting condition is: if the guest enters his territory for more than four minutes without wearing a proper white coat, he can forcibly grab the guest's hand and manipulate them into using a scalpel to dissect the body—anything from the specimen lab, the freezer, or even the guest's own organs and tissues. Once completed, the Stitches can proceed with the hunt.]

[Thinking back carefully, the Frankenstein professor initially disguised himself as a skeleton in the specimen lab to buy himself four minutes! Then he could have attacked the show's guest! However, he only managed to stall for less than a minute before "Yao Ling" saw through his deception, which is why he told the female guest he had "three minutes."]

[For this round, the show's guests still need to find a white lab coat in another part of the university before coming to the lab building. The white lab coat inside the lab building is just bait to lure people in; it's all a trap. How could the show's guests possibly find it!]

[Isn't this the kind of charlatan professor who loves to give show guests a glimmer of hope, only to watch them fall into despair?]

Why is "Yao Ling" stuck in place? Is she just going to give up like this?!

Yu Naixin stood there, briefly recalling what characteristics a guest with a spiritual power coefficient exceeding 180 would have.

Yu Naixin doesn't care about combat power. Since entering "Heartbeat 1000%", she has never used her strength to fight against any of the guest contestants.

The most significant feature is in terms of "hunting conditions." The "big monster" level guest no longer needs the subjective consent of the program guests; they can unilaterally force the program guests to participate.

For example, in "Cocoon Village", the paper doll boy needs Yu Naixin to personally say that she is willing to be with him forever, the white bone scholar needs Yu Naixin to personally accept the jade pendant, and the butter flower monk in "Xiawei Temple" also needs Yu Naixin to completely remove at least one of her fingers without resisting at all.

In "Swan Castle", the four guest characters only need to force Yu Naixin to meet the hunting conditions. There is at most a short time difference in between, which allows them to interrupt or escape.

The Frankenstein's monster professor in this episode, as well as the young banyan tree spirit who hasn't appeared yet, will be no exception.

Yu Naixin could also deduce that it was only the first night of the "Jishi Medical University" program, and the deadline for puzzle-solving shows wouldn't appear until at least a week later. The guests coming to the experimental building was a necessary part of the storyline, so it was unlikely that there would be no chance of escape.

The NPCs on the bridge gave a very subtle hint about the white coats, and Yu Naixin also confirmed that there were no white coats in dormitory 201. It would be too difficult for the program guests to find and locate the white coats needed in such a large and unfamiliar program venue in the less than four hours between 5 or 6 pm after entering the venue and 9:30 pm when they went to the laboratory building for tutoring.

Even Yu Naixin couldn't guarantee that she could do it in a single simulation.

Having watched so many other show guests' live streams, Yu Naixin knew very well that even without the simulator as a cheat code, her strength was among the top of the show guests. What she found difficult to accomplish was simply impossible in a title zone show dungeon of only moderate difficulty, especially as a level that had only just begun.

Combined with the threatening words of the Frankenstein professor, Yu Naixin can be fairly certain that the remaining minute or so is a safety escape time given to the show's guests. Even if they can't find the white coat, escaping the lab building during this time could break the inevitable deadlock.

However, escaping alone from Professor Frankenstein's home turf is no easy feat, which is why Yu Naixin was able to do it so easily.

At the same time, escaping the experimental building also means that the guests on the show have given up the clues there. Although it is only the first day of "Jishi Medical University" and they are unlikely to miss any particularly crucial information, it will also bring more obstacles to the guests' subsequent decryption.

This is the kind of copy design that aligns with the logic of the "Heartbeat 1000%" program team.

Oh, right, Yu Naixin added in her mind, she should add a parenthetical note saying "bug-free version".

This dating reality show has been plagued with bugs for quite some time now, especially the segments featuring her.

hehe.

[If you can't find the white coat, run! You've already kept the Frankenstein's monster focused on that button in the next lab; you have fifty or sixty seconds more than enough to escape the lab building!]

[Why is she still not moving?! Her expression doesn't suggest she hasn't figured out a way to break the deadlock. Don't tell me there are show guests in the title section who are so eager to be the best that they're willing to risk their lives?!]

[Ahhh, I love the little witch's gaze! Cold and mocking, she utters a smug look of complete control!]

[I knew it the moment I saw the Demon Queen's eyes! She's planning something big!]

What if you can't find what you're looking for?

Yu Naixin's answer was, just ask someone who knows where it is.

What if someone who knows where something is insists on hiding and delaying for tens of seconds?

This was even simpler for Yu Naixin; she could just force him to obediently come to her.

The next second, following the command conveyed by Yu Naixin through the consciousness channel, the priest's folding fan appeared out of thin air in the dark dissection laboratory and flew straight toward the window that could see the banyan tree.

No matter how hard the Frankenstein professor tried to build this two-meter-thick "wall," under the attack of a special spiritual artifact at the domain lord level and with Yu Naixin's ample supply of spiritual power, this obstacle would not be much better than a piece of tofu dregs.

The invisible "wall" was instantly breached by the priest's folding fan, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the empty air, visible to all viewers in the live stream.

At the very center of the spider web, the priest's folding fan traversed the entire wall unimpeded, and with the same force, shattered the window that served as the last line of defense.

Amidst the crashing sound of shattering pieces, Yu Naixin's lips curled into a slight smile: "Professor, if you don't come over soon, I'll invite your neighbor over for a visit~"
