Chapter 43 Discharged from the Hospital
After all, this was the first competition, and the competition system was relatively simple, so it was not surprising that it ended so quickly.
But the audience doesn’t think so.
"??? Is this the end? Are you kidding me?"
"I just realized, do you mean the prizes?"
"By the way, what is the first prize?"
"! It was only when the classmate in front of me mentioned it that I realized that the official had not said what awards or prizes there would be. I stupidly signed up without even drawing a picture..."
"It's not a real-name competition anyway, but everyone should be careful when signing contracts and the like in the future."
Ye Xuan felt that it was a bit strange, but the strangeness might be different from what the audience worried about.
Their company is so good at fooling people, but they didn't even use this trick to attract users to participate in the competition this time?
It is definitely beneficial for the company when game users participate in activities held by the game company. Moreover, this sudden situation can be regarded as a wave of publicity and promotion for Wuya for them, otherwise there would not be so many new users registered during that period.
After saying goodbye to the audience, Ye Xuan mercilessly clicked "End Live Broadcast". The last few comments slowly slid across the screen that showed "The host has gone offline", which was actually a bit pitiful.
He casually picked up the manuscripts and forms spread out on the table. His top priority at the moment was what to eat for lunch.
The anchor's work has ended temporarily, but he still has a long way to go as a real-life NPC. The plot has been updated again this time, and he is going back to be a "Chinese medicine doctor."
In the staff cafeteria, he ran into Xiao Qian, the front desk girl whom he hadn't seen for a few days. Ye Xing walked over with a tray and sat next to her: "I heard you went to taste the food?"
She looked up and saw that it was the only real NPC in the company, so she said, "That's for you to try. Other employees cannot play our company's games except for testing. You are the only one who can eat 'food' in Dream Travel."
Ye Xuan smiled proudly: "The new product is pretty good, right?"
"It's more than good!" Xiao Qian's eyes lit up when he talked about the dessert, "It's perfect! Perfect! The chef is simply a god!"
Seeing the other party's excitement, he nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes, yes, otherwise how can we provide players with such a good gaming experience? Look at the forum, more than half of the posts in the food section are praising desserts."
Xiao Qian talked nonstop about desserts. He first introduced to Ye Xuan the types of new products developed this time, and then the various chefs' sources of inspiration and interesting research and development stories. He couldn't finish talking even during the entire lunch time.
He listened carefully, as this was information equivalent to a "food atlas", and it was always a good idea to write down the points that might be encountered in the game scenes.
Sweets can bring good mood, and he is looking forward to it.
…
As soon as Ye Xuan came online, he happened to run into players continuing the storyline, which was considered a coincidence.
However, after entering the scene in the script, it was still the familiar ward, but not the familiar people.
"What's going on?" He couldn't help but ask. Looking at the people in the ward who were dressed like medical staff and had unfriendly expressions, he was a little confused about the situation.
Can't you give him a recap?
Ye Xuan took a while to react. It seemed that he and Qin had been discovered sneaking into the hospital. He felt helpless when he saw such a scene.
All we can say is that truth will eventually come out, and the infiltration plan that we thought was cautious actually planted the seeds of disaster from the very beginning.
How could he forget that there would definitely be surveillance in the hospital?
Maybe he felt lucky that the game wouldn't be so realistic, so when he saw the empty corridor, he was just secretly happy without thinking too much.
But he believed that there would always be a way out, especially for the protagonist of the script and the real-life NPCs, so he felt much more relieved.
"Senior," Qin came over, "What should we do now?"
"Don't panic, Xiao Qin." The Chinese medicine doctor comforted the boy, "They are doctors and nurses in the hospital. They won't harm us..."
yeah?
Ye Xing looked at the people with unfriendly expressions and suddenly felt unsure.
The medical staff here did not recognize Qin through their glasses, and just thought they were reporters sneaking in to interview: "Don't disturb the patients' rest, this is a special ward."
Although the volume was not loud, it was powerful enough, and the disgust in the tone showed no trace of concealment.
Do they hate "reporters"?
Reporters often appear in places like hospitals, and some news is leaked from here, including negative news about the hospital.
It is not difficult to understand why they hate journalists, but this straightforward attitude is a bit unreasonable.
Aren’t they afraid that this will be reported in the news by these two “reporters”?
The undisguised disgust and rejection were almost written directly on their faces. He always felt that there was something wrong with this hospital.
Those people didn't say a word, but their attitude was very clear; they wanted to drive Ye Xuan and the other two out.
However, Ye Xuan had just returned to this script. Firstly, he didn't know how these people came in and caught them in the act. Secondly, he wasn't sure whether the work of inquiring about the new patients' information had been completed.
If the goal has been achieved, then there is really no need for him to stay in the hospital and he can leave.
He had no impression of anything that was discovered during this period. It was not convenient for him to communicate with Xiao Qin in such an environment. He and the medical staff just looked at each other in confusion.
Although he was at a loss, the plot had to move forward. The game time was limited and the player would not keep waiting.
Qin stood up and said loudly: "We are doctors!"
"Doctor?" The man on the other side thought for a moment, "No, I have never seen you. Besides, even if you are really a doctor in our hospital, you don't have the authority to come to this special ward."
The young man said with all his might, "Who told you that we were doctors here? We came here specially from the clinic outside."
The look of being unjustified but still confident is very asking for a beating.
Ye Xuan continued, "Yes, yes, yes. I came all the way to your institute to exchange ideas and learn from you. In my haste, I forgot the rules and offended you all so abruptly. I am really sorry."
This is someone else's territory, so it would be safer to be more polite.
"Attacking the guards and cracking the code is your sincerity?" The other party obviously didn't believe it.
"This..." Ye Xuan recalled that he had indeed retracted all the short needles during the acupuncture, and he just refused to admit it. "What guards? When we came here, we saw them all collapsed. As for the password, it's just the ward number, there's no need to crack it."
There shouldn't be any cameras installed in locations where guards are closely deployed, right?
I can only take a gamble.
Fortunately, this is just a game and it won't really push them into a desperate situation, so the other party still accepted this explanation half-believingly.
Ye Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and asked Xiao Qin to leave with him.
Since we have concealed the truth for the time being, it would be better to escape first to avoid any further trouble.
Qin was not convinced, but he was more willing to listen to his seniors. He followed the Chinese medicine doctor out the door, and did not forget to glare at the "enemy" closest to him with what he thought was a fierce look.
He acted so childishly that people could not recognize that he was the city's famous scientific research genius. He looked like a rebellious and unruly teenager.
After leaving the hospital, Qin couldn't help but speak: "Senior, why did you pull me out? We haven't found out much useful information yet. I'm really unwilling to leave like this."
Ye Xuan captured the key word, although it is "not much", but it is still a little bit, right?
He pretended to be casual and said, "Then you can sort out the parts that will be useful and write them down on a piece of paper for me when you return to the clinic."
Qin had no doubts and nodded in agreement.
…
Ye Xing turned out all the prescriptions that could be found in the clinic. It was not known whether it was because of the character's inherent attribute of a doctor, or because the names of Chinese medicinal materials were easier to understand, but he had no reading difficulties at all.
The prescriptions were quite complicated, but he still felt that the information provided in the game was not useless. If he looked around more, he might find something hidden.
Therefore, it is easier for players of this game than for NPCs, they can just win without doing anything.
In fact, while Ye Xing was busy looking for prescriptions, Qin was not idle either. He carefully sorted out the questions he asked to the new patients and even looked up information on some things he did not understand, such as the location.
This city is not big, but it is certainly not small. The zombies used to move slowly, but after being accidentally stimulated last time, their strength and speed increased significantly. The places they appeared in were also far apart, so they could be said to be elusive.
He knew the mission was critical and that time was running out. The virus was less infectious than he had thought, as evidenced by the new patient regaining consciousness with only a simple acupuncture treatment.
However, the virus carriers that infect healthy people have not yet been caught. Even if the treatment is not complicated, the spread of the disease should be controlled.
Acupuncture treatment may only be able to maintain stability for new patients for a period of time. It is hard to say how long it will last. They do not have the conditions for long-term observation and are almost walking in the dark.
But he seemed to be able to see the light, and his predecessors were the guiding lights on his way forward!
Ye Xing, who was busy with the research of medicinal materials, didn't know that his image in Xiao Qin's mind had become even taller, as tall as a lighthouse.
The medicinal materials are neatly classified and the labels are clear, so it is not difficult to find the right medicinal materials.
But he was not the only one who was unfamiliar with weighing the medicine. After several attempts, he also discovered that the Chinese medicine doctor himself was probably not very skilled either. He did not have the familiarity he had when giving acupuncture before.
That’s right, pharmacists are responsible for dispensing medicines, so it’s normal that he, as a doctor, is not familiar with this.
But where can he find another pharmacist?
Most of the citizens were hiding in their homes, and it was definitely not possible to persuade them with just a few words. Besides, time waited for no one, so only he and Xiao Qin could...
By the way, Xiao Qin!
He is in charge of pharmaceutical preparation. The drug dosage he usually studies is more precise than the weighing of Chinese medicinal materials, so he must have experience in this area.
Maybe this is what it means to be unsuccessful in your search for a good idea…
There is always light at the end of the tunnel?
Although it cannot be connected perfectly, Ye Xing feels that these two halves of the sentence put together can best reflect his mood at the moment.
He was not very confident about adjusting the prescription, so having someone who could help him prepare the medicine would definitely make things more efficient.
