Liang Song and Yun Jian both saw worry in each other's eyes.
Even the usually jovial fourth brother became serious, asking worriedly, "How is Brother Bai Yu? Will he end up like this too?"
Yun Jian didn't say anything.
But anyone could see the seriousness on her face.
Liang Song turned and walked out, saying, "I'm going to find him."
Yun Jian followed them out.
Bai Yu's house wasn't far from them, just a few steps away. Liang Song knocked on the door, "Bai Yu, are you there?"
Bai Yu's groaning and moaning could be heard from inside the room.
Yun Jian pushed the door open and entered.
Bai Yu lay on the bed, glanced at them sideways, but didn't get up. "Why did you two come here?"
Without saying a word, Yun Jian grabbed Bai Yu's hand and looked at him.
Bai Yu hissed and abruptly pulled his hand back. "What are you doing? My hand hurts, don't touch my hand."
How's your hand?
Bai Yu snorted, "It hurts. I'm telling you, are your herbs even working? I've been applying them for a few days, and what started as itching has turned into pain. Before, it was just a little red around the wound, but now the redness and swelling have spread!"
Yun Jian said softly, "Let me see."
Bai Yu stretched out his hand, cursing and swearing.
After checking, Yun Jian breathed a sigh of relief, "Although it is worsening, the rate of deterioration is not fast."
Bai Yu was displeased upon hearing her words. "What do you mean, Ms. Yun? You're actually happy that my hand has gotten worse, aren't you?"
The fourth brother thoughtfully displayed the public chat history in front of Bai Yu.
"Brother Bai Yu, don't get agitated. There are people who are in much worse shape than you."
Bai Yu was initially a bit sullen and was quite nonchalant while reading the chat history, but as he read on, he could no longer laugh.
If it weren't for the pain in his hand affecting his movements, he felt he might have already clung to Yun Jian's leg and begged her to save his hand.
"Brother Yun, Sister Yun, Ancestor Yun, you must protect my hand! I don't want to be a one-armed hero! Waaah~ If I only have one hand, it'll be hard to pick up girls after I go out..."
Yun Jian actually felt like laughing at this moment.
"Driving a Ferrari with one hand is pretty good for picking up girls."
Bai Yu: "..."
He carefully raised his hand in front of Yun Jian, "I feel like this medicine isn't working as well anymore, Sister Yun, do you have any more effective medicine?"
Yun shook his head regretfully.
"My skills are limited, and I can't concoct a more effective medicine for your wound. Just use this for now, and every little bit of time we can buy you some more will help."
After saying that, Yun Jian opened the in-game store that he hadn't used in a long time.
Even though she had enough points and unlocked a higher level of the shop, the medical supplies she wanted were not there.
[It's over. The existing herbs can't heal Bai Yu's wound. If they can't find a cure, Bai Yu's hand might really be ruined.]
[System, please be considerate! Yunjian's shop level is already so high, yet medical supplies are still not available. What exactly are you trying to do?]
[Sigh, medical supplies are always a major problem. I wish Yunjian and his team the best of luck!]
They still don't know what bit them, and even if they wanted to, they have no way to prevent it. It's really true that Yun Jian gave me too much of a false impression; wilderness survival is not easy at all. A small problem could very well cost them their lives.
Ah, I love Bai Yu so much! We absolutely have to find the medicine!
Trust Yun Jian; she's incredibly capable, she'll definitely find a way.
But at this moment, Yun Jian truly had no other choice.
She only learned a little about medicine when she was a child, from visiting her maternal grandmother's house in the countryside and learning from the village's barefoot doctor. She knew nothing about other complex medical knowledge.
Bai Yu was still humming and hawing.
Liang Song could see Yun Jian's predicament and sighed, "If there's really no other way, just cut off this hand as soon as possible. I saw that player's shoulder was starting to rot, which means this thing will spread. In the end, the whole person will rot into a skeleton. Cutting off the hand can at least save his life."
The fourth brother also comforted him, "Brother Liang Song is right, and Brother Bai Yu, don't worry about not being able to pick up girls in the future. My special skill is matchmaking, and I'll match you up every day."
Bai Yu: "..."
You've thought of everything!
Yun Jian spent points to refresh the shop, but no medical supplies appeared even after he ran out of refreshes.
She looked at Bai Yu's hands, feeling deeply troubled.
Liang Song kept an eye on the messages in the world channel. As soon as there was any movement, he would quickly discuss it with Yun Jian and Bai Yu. "A player said that in order to protect himself, he cut off the swollen piece of flesh, but the result was not ideal, and the festering is still continuing."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yu lowered his eyelids and remained silent, not even uttering a sound.
More and more players are asking for help in the public chat.
"Help! My hand is so soft and weak, it peels off easily when I touch it. Is it going to rot? Can anyone help me?"
"Damn it, what could have bitten me? Is there really no way to treat this?"
"I chopped off my hand, and for now it seems there are no problems."
"I don't want to cut off my hands. Surviving in the wilderness is already difficult enough. If I lose my hands, how am I supposed to live?"
"I don't want to cut off my hand either, System, you can't just watch us die, give us some medical supplies!"
"Yes, given the situation, is it reasonable for you not to provide medical supplies?"
Perhaps having heard the voices of many players, in the afternoon, someone claiming to be a system messenger finally posted an announcement in the public chat.
[Announcement: Please don't panic. The injuries you've suffered are just a minor bug that occurred during system debugging. This is a problem on our part, and we certainly won't ignore it. Injured players, please collect your medical supplies from the trading platform. Players who have already sustained injuries can apply for free prosthetics from the system.]
This announcement was like parched land finally receiving timely rain.
The influx of so many players caused the trading platform to lag for quite a while.
However, it wasn't long before people started complaining in the public chat.
"What? The medical supplies aren't free? I have to pay a deposit of 100 points?"
"Yes, wasn't it your company that caused the problem? Why are you charging us? Shouldn't you be responsible for these costs?"
"I'm being nice by not asking the system for compensation, and you're still asking us for points? Don't you have any conscience?"
"Exactly, and they charge such high prices. Anyone who didn't know better would think you're profiting from a tragedy!"
"I'm so upset! What am I going to do if I don't have 100 points left? What am I going to do about my hands?"
In response to these questions, the system's messenger naturally stepped forward to address them.
[Please be patient. The 100 points are just a deposit to prevent players with ulterior motives from fraudulently claiming or overcharging, wasting our limited resources. Once you recover, this deposit will be refunded to your accounts. The system will not charge you a single extra point, so please rest assured!]
