Chapter 2: The pressure from Xincheng Hospital is on Shen Su.
How did he become a live streamer?
The contract was successfully signed?
How come he didn't know he had successfully signed the contract?
The display screen did not answer Shi Yu's question; the words continued to scroll—
[Game Dungeon: Xincheng Hospital]
[Game Time: 7 days]
Exploration Level: 0
[Game Background: Xincheng Hospital is a comprehensive hospital with advanced medical technology. It boasts an excellent medical team and support staff, attracting thousands of college graduates annually. For nearly a decade, Xincheng Hospital has maintained the lowest employee turnover rate among its peers. Doctors in all departments at Xincheng Hospital work in shifts 24 hours a day, without rest on holidays, fully guaranteeing the public's medical needs. It has been awarded the title of "Most Satisfactory Hospital for the Public."]
[Game Hint: You can clear the level when your exploration level reaches 100.]
(Note: New streamers only need 80 exploration points to complete the game on their first try.)
[Enjoy the game, streamer!]
“Look closely, there’s a square protrusion in the middle of the card. Press it once and a holographic display will pop up; press it twice and the display will disappear.” Liu Yang explained, holding the magnetic card. “The display shows game instructions, your personal interface, and a live stream room. You can click in and explore, but it seems that you can only see your own screen.”
After the game introduction subtitles finished scrolling, the interface automatically jumped to the "personal interface" that Liu Yang had mentioned, and Shi Yu saw her information.
Host's name: Shi Yu
Number of completed copies: 0
Streamer Level: 0
Followers: 10567
Shi Yu saw a "My Livestream" button in the upper left corner and clicked it.
Sorry, you are not allowed to enter your own live stream room in the game.
—You can replay the game after it ends.
Shi Yu stared at his follower count for a while. Logically, a newcomer shouldn't have so many followers. He casually asked, "Does this game give away followers?"
"Huh?" Liu Yang looked up in confusion, glanced at Shi Yu, then looked down at his profile and said, "Maybe. I have two followers. I followed one myself, and the other was probably a gift from the system."
Shi Yu glanced at Liu Yang.
Liu Yang is probably a sports student. He is tall, dark-skinned, and muscular, but his appearance is rather ordinary. He also has a buzz cut, which makes him look even more ordinary.
Lin Yarong and Cheng Jianshu also mentioned their number of followers, both just over a hundred.
"The system gave me a lot of followers, I had over 900, wow, now it's up to a thousand! But maybe they weren't given to me, maybe some people are actually watching our live stream?" Xia Wanwan ran to Liu Yang's hospital bed and sat down, leaning on Liu Yang's arm for support, and laughed, "But isn't it a bit exaggerated that you only have two followers?"
“It’s one,” Liu Yang corrected. “The other one I ordered myself.”
Xia Wanwan burst out laughing: "Hahahaha!"
"Hahaha, don't worry, it'll go up, hahahaha..." Xia Wanwan finished comforting her boyfriend in vain, then asked Shi Yu, "What about you? How many fans do you have?"
Shi Yu: "A little over ten thousand."
Xia Wanwan's laughter stopped.
The air in the ward also stopped circulating.
"More or less." Shen Su sat cross-legged on the hospital bed, chewed the lollipop in his mouth twice, and spoke to ease the atmosphere, "The system also gave me more than 8,000 followers."
The atmosphere was completely relieved.
Everyone fell silent.
Shi Yu smelled a faint sweet orange scent, coming from someone's lollipop in the next bed. He subtly moved to the other side of the bed.
All his personal belongings were gone. I wonder how Shen Su managed to smuggle the lollipop in?
Shi Yu read the game rules again.
The information we have so far includes the following points:
1. Xincheng Hospital is a comprehensive hospital where doctors in all departments are available 24 hours a day, the public is very satisfied, and the turnover rate is very low compared to other hospitals in the industry.
2. The game lasts for 7 days.
3. Complete the level with 100% exploration progress; new players can complete it with 80%.
The exploration level is related to completing the game.
But Shi Yu didn't quite understand what "exploration level" meant.
If simply walking around the entire hospital counts as "exploration," that wouldn't be difficult. However, judging from the nurse who brought him back to his ward, these patients can't leave their rooms at will, and naturally, they can't wander around aimlessly. Therefore, this "exploration" is clearly not just about simply walking around the hospital.
After studying the game display screen for a while, there was a knock on the ward door. The nurse pushed the door open and said to them, "Get ready. You will be going to the rehabilitation center with me in ten minutes for rehabilitation treatment. Remember to bring your medical records."
Rehabilitation treatment?
Can we get out?
If he could get out, he could find clues. Shi Yu quickly put the magnetic card into his pocket and got up.
Just as he got up, Shen Su, who was beside him, also jumped off the bed, and the two stood up almost simultaneously.
Their eyes met.
At the same time, he casually looked away.
Shi Yu: "..."
"By the way, the medical report seems to be this one by the bedside; it lists everyone's medical conditions," Liu Yang reminded everyone, then asked curiously, "I have anxiety disorder, my girlfriend has depression, what are your conditions?"
Everyone picked up the forms and looked at them. Lin Yarong had heart disease, and Cheng Jianshu had diabetes.
Shi Yu has a bad stomach and low blood sugar, and lately, lack of sleep has led to neurasthenia. He thought it was just one of these ailments, but when he unfolded the list—
Homosexuality.
Shi Yu: "..."
Shen Su was new; his medical record was in his pocket, and he showed it to Shen Su.
The symptoms were exactly the same as Shi Yu's.
Shen Su: "…………"
.
After two newcomers suddenly appeared and squeezed out Mu Zhuo to become the top two on the beauty list, the chat in the game live stream never stopped discussing Shi Yu and Shen Su.
The top two on the leaderboard definitely know each other! Don't ask, it's just a woman's intuition.
These two... well, they seem to know each other, but their relationship probably isn't very good, considering they haven't exchanged a single word since the game started.
To be fair, the fact that both of them "passed by" Lover's Lake is quite intriguing, and their unanimous "I don't know them" seems rather suspicious.
[Didn't you guys notice that everyone pulling players in this dungeon is in pairs? Young couples, middle-aged couples... so I have a bold idea!]
[Stop having any ideas, just watch the live stream. The success rate for this dungeon is only 17%, and these guys are all newbies. They're probably going to all get wiped out.]
[Waaaaah! No way! The number one fan is so handsome! I don't want him to die, I want to spend money on him!]
[The number one on the list is handsome, but his personality is too cold; he doesn't talk much. I still prefer the sunny, handsome guy on the number two! His little tiger teeth are so cute!]
[Finally, it's time for the 'rehabilitation therapy' I've been looking forward to.]
[Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter at the homosexuality! Is the system really not shipping couples?]
...
Shi Yu was speechless when he saw that his illness was "homosexuality," and he was even more speechless when he saw that his chronic illness was also "homosexuality."
Shi Yu is not gay.
During his first year of high school, when he was young and confused, he had a crush on a girl sitting in front of him.
Unfortunately, the school was strict about early relationships back then, and he was a quiet person. In addition, not long after, they were divided into arts and science classes, and he and the girl went to different classes. In the end, this crush ended without a trace.
Later, in college and at work, he met all sorts of people. He watched as the people around him would make vows of eternal love to their girlfriends one moment and then take their mistresses to hotels the next. On the surface, they were model couples who were incredibly loving, but in private, they each had their own families. The "forever" vows made in front of the priest seemed like a joke, and the "only one" was nonexistent.
Love seems to be just that—nothing special to experience—so his interest in dating has waned even further.
However, his sexual orientation as a woman has never changed.
Shen Su is not gay. He had a girlfriend during his senior year of college. Their families were of similar social standing, and they were supposed to get married after graduation, but for some reason, they broke up before graduation.
Of course, Shi Yu obtained this information from listening to his parents' conversation, and he wasn't sure if the facts were accurate.
One thing he was certain of was that Shen Su's sexual orientation was absolutely fine!
However, it seems that everyone's symptoms are incorrect.
"I have depression?" Xia Wanwan said, poking her boyfriend's arm muscle. "I think if I'm sick, it should be bipolar disorder. What do you think, darling?"
Liu Yang pressed Xia Wanwan's fidgeting hands down and said, "You probably have ADHD." Then he added to everyone, "I don't have any anxiety disorder either; I'm perfectly healthy, both physically and mentally."
Lin Yarong nodded and said, "This illness should be randomly assigned, not defined based on an individual's actual physical condition. My husband and I have regular routines, healthy diets, and annual check-ups, and we don't have these problems."
After the four finished their conversation, they all turned their attention to Shi Yu and Shen Su.
"My sexual orientation is female."
Shi Yu spoke quickly.
This puts pressure on Shen Su.
"As expected," Xia Wanwan concluded, "the system is messing around."
However, Xia Wanwan drew her conclusion too early. Shen Su casually tossed out a sentence:
"My sexual orientation used to be female."
The way "in the past" is used is very clever.
What's even more ingenious is that Shen Su deliberately glanced at Shi Yu when he said those words.
This glance was so deliberate that everyone's attention turned to Shi Yu.
Shi Yu: "..."
