Chapter 10 Xincheng Hospital System Issues Warning
Everyone gained 10 exploration points overnight.
However, these 10 exploration points are far from enough for the other four people besides Shi Yu and Shen Su, not to mention that there are only two days left in the game.
The comments section started analyzing for them:
[The hospital director came to the hospital on his day off and wouldn't let anyone into his office; the content of his conversation with the second key figure; the van and the tattooed man on the second basement level; digging a hole and burying something in the small garden late at night—by piecing together this information, we can basically reconstruct a story!]
If I remember correctly, the story of Dean Lin and his brother is worth a full 50 exploration points! They just exchange some information, and that's enough exploration points to clear the level.
That's what they say, but how could the system let them pass so easily?
[Giving them so much information all at once makes me feel like things won't be that simple later on.]
The audience's intuition was accurate.
When everyone woke up and was ready to share information.
A line of bright red text appeared on everyone's game screen—
[WARNING! You may only share information with your teammates. Maliciously leaking information will reset your exploration progress to zero.]
As expected, the game won't be so easy for them to beat.
[What? They're about to clear the level? System: Whatever, I'll handle it.jpg]
Soon, several more lines of text popped up on the screen—
[To exchange information with non-teammate players, you will need to pay a certain amount of exploration points.]
[Enter your information into the chat box below, and the system will assess its value.]
[After the evaluation is complete, players can engage in information trading.]
[Evaluation? Information trading? What the heck? This feature wasn't there before, was it?]
[This feature wasn't there before, and it wasn't available yesterday either. It must have been added overnight, haha.]

...
Day six of the game, early morning.
Patient number 305.
Everyone turned pale when they saw the bright red warning on the game screen.
Apart from Shi Yu and Shen Su.
Shi Yu and Shen Su have accumulated 62 exploration points in the past few days. With the 10 from last night, they now have 72 exploration points. They can easily reach 80 points to clear the level with a little more effort, so there is no need to worry.
But the four of them are different.
So far, Xia Wanwan, who has the highest exploration level among the four, only has 50 exploration points. Even if they explore non-stop for the next two days, it is difficult to guarantee that they can reach 80 exploration points before the game ends.
The game's completion condition is to reach 80 exploration points. Information obtained from exploring dungeons can increase exploration points, but now they are being forced to use exploration points to buy information?
What's the difference between this and cutting off flesh from your own thigh to patch up your arm?
After the game update, the interface added [Information Evaluation] and [Information Trading] buttons, but none of the four clicked on them.
Everyone looked at their own game panel.
The atmosphere in the ward was unusually silent.
"Xia Wanwan".
Suddenly called out, Xia Wanwan straightened up reflexively and turned her head to look at the source of the voice.
Shi Yu leaned against the water dispenser by the window, holding a disposable paper cup in her hand. She tapped the cup twice with her slender, white index finger and said, "I'll buy information from you. Let's make the deal now."
Xia Wanwan was stunned.
Xia Wanwan's eyes widened.
Xia Wanwan remained motionless.
"Do you know how to trade?" Shi Yu patiently gave verbal instructions, "There's an information evaluation button in the lower left corner of the game panel. Enter the information, evaluate it, then click trade, and then select me..."
"I know!" Xia Wanwan seemed to have just come to her senses. After shouting that, her voice weakened again, and her expression was full of confusion. "I know, but..." But why? Everyone's exploration level is not high enough to complete the level.
"Let's begin."
Shi Yu knew what Xia Wanwan wanted to ask, so she didn't explain further, only giving her a reassuring look.
Xia Wanwan felt comforted and lowered her head to write down every detail of her experience from the previous night.
The information assessment was 12 points of exploration. After the transaction was initiated, Shi Yu's exploration level dropped to 60 points, while Xia Wanwan's exploration level rose to 62 points.
Although it only increased by 12 points, Xia Wanwan was quite satisfied. After all, she hadn't found any particularly useful information last night, and she was only 12 points away from 80!
She tried again...
Just as Xia Wanwan was about to close the game panel, she heard Shi Yu say again, "Continue."
Xia Wanwan: "Huh?"
“Other information you know,” Shi Yu said, her tone serious. “I still want to buy more.”
Xia Wanwan thought for a moment and wrote down some details that she had missed when sharing with everyone before, including the assessment and the transaction.
Her exploration level has increased again.
Shi Yu lowered her head and took a sip of water: "Continue."
In order to prevent Shi Yu from suffering a loss, Xia Wanwan tried her best to make the transaction information as useful as possible.
However, after racking her brains, she couldn't think of anything at all. She even wrote down her guesses and speculations based on the available information, which amounted to a full 500 words!
Information assessment: 1 point of exploration.
Xia Wanwan: "..."
Xia Wanwan felt a little reluctant.
To be honest, this information was useless to Shi Yu, but the exploration progress was real.
She hesitated before saying, "Well, I've given you all the slightly useful information I know. I don't have any useful information left..."
"It's alright." Shi Yu smiled. He had a particularly handsome smile, like ice and snow melting and spring returning to the earth. Xia Wanwan was stunned for a moment. "As long as we can assess the level of exploration, that's fine."
It is possible to assess the degree of exploration.
The assessment results were all 1 point of exploration, and some even showed 0.5 points of exploration...
And so, the two made more than ten transactions.
Xia Wanwan was shocked to discover that her exploration level was actually 80!
She can beat the game now!!!
"Liu Yang, I'll buy you information," Shi Yu said again.
Now everyone understands what happened. Liu Yang hasn't recovered from the shock yet. Upon hearing this, he shook his head like a rattle-drum: "No, no, no need! You've already given my girlfriend so many exploration points for free. You don't have many exploration points left either. I can't take yours!"
After getting a glass of water, Shi Yu returned to his bed, placed the glass on the bedside table, and crossed his hands in front of his knees. He asked, "Do you think you can earn enough exploration points in the last two days?"
Liu Yang fell silent.
Liu Yang didn't think he could earn enough.
Liu Yang ultimately decided to take it.
He followed the example of Shen Su.
The exploration was given to Lin Yarong and Cheng Jianshu.
At first, the two of them firmly refused, but they couldn't resist Chen Su's words: "Sister Lin, don't worry. Since we dare to do this, it means we have other ways to pass the level."
"What method? Ah, it seems we can't say, but please trust us, Sister Lin, we'll be having a free meal at your house after we get out."
"Sister Lin, do you know? The moment I saw you, I felt a special connection with you, just like seeing my own sister. Sister Lin, you don't mind at all and treat me like your own brother. Isn't it only natural for a brother to give his sister something? Sister Lin, please don't be so polite with me."
"Oh, by the way, I may have said something that offended Uncle Cheng before. I hope Uncle Cheng will be magnanimous. When I come to Sister Lin's house for a meal in the future, please don't put too much salt in my soup."
Cheng Jianshu, who was being addressed as "uncle" repeatedly, couldn't get angry at all: "No, you're welcome to come to my home."
...
After the trade, the exploration progress of the six players is as follows:
Shi Yu: 6
Slumber: 6
Xia Wanwan: 80
Liu Yang: 80
Lin Yarong: 80
Cheng Jianshu: 80
Chen Su was trying to build relationships with everyone.
The Shiyu game panel is currently stuck on the [Information Evaluation] section.
The first thing he did upon waking up was to exchange information from the previous night with Shen Su, and he vaguely pieced together a truth, though he was not yet certain of it.
Shi Yu typed in "Lin Qinghe's younger brother sent people to dig a pit in the small garden late at night".
Information assessment: 2% exploration level.
Shi Yu added two words: "Lin Qinghe's younger brother sent people to dig a pit in the small garden late at night to bury the body."
Information assessment: 8% exploration level.
Shi Yu entered his and Shen Su's complete conjecture: "Lin Qinghe, the director of Xincheng Hospital, was murdered by his twin brother, dismembered, and buried in the hospital's small garden. His brother then took over as the director of Xincheng Hospital."
Information assessment: 40% exploration level.
It seems that's true.
The closer the information is to the truth, the higher the assessment value.
This feature isn't entirely useless.
Shi Yu continued to input some information, some true and some false, for evaluation.
After countless attempts, just as Shi Yu typed "The dungeon boss is Lin Qinghe's younger brother," the system issued a warning—
[Only 20 information evaluations are allowed per day]
Shi Yu: "..."
All right.
The viewers in the live stream were stunned by Shi Yu's actions:
【Wow, you can't believe it?!】
Why didn't I think of using information evaluation functions to determine the authenticity of information?
[Yu Yu is so damn smart!!!]
So what is he trying to do? Is he going to take on the boss one-on-one?
