Chapter 172 World Seven [1]
The third branch of Small Town Coffee was opened in Annan City. Ye Yunshu applied for medical university according to her personal ideas and became a diligent clinical medicine student.
Annan City has a comfortable pace of life and a wealth of local delicacies. So after Jing Ke and Ye Yunfu moved in, Zhang Sangyu, who had successfully passed the postgraduate entrance exam, would also come and stay for a while during the holidays.
Ye Yunfu doesn't like the entertainment industry, so he only works as an investor occasionally. His main job is still to write what he wants to write, and he also expands Small Town Coffee at the rate of one branch per year.
Considering that there are currently no relevant laws in the country, Jing Ke and Ye Yunfu simply held a wedding and designated each other as designated guardians, which resolved many worries.
Before inviting his friends to the wedding, Ye Yunfu unsurprisingly learned that his mother and Aunt Qi had decided to be together. He also learned that the reason why his nominal father was so well-behaved was because Aunt Qi had silently helped to take care of it.
Mother Ye and Aunt Qi had no intention of holding a wedding. They just served as witnesses for Jing Ke and Ye Yunfu.
When the bouquet was thrown, Zhang Sangyu took the initiative to grab it, but she had not saved enough money yet so she was not in a hurry to propose. She just took the opportunity to express her love to Xu Fusang, who was already a top female artist.
The balance in Ye Yunfu's account has been growing steadily every year, but she herself does not have any extravagant consumption concepts. Her biggest expenses are donating money to various organizations and giving gifts and red envelopes to people around her.
After being selected as a representative figure who moved China many times, Ye Yunfu's life slowly came to an end.
However, Ye Yunfu was not afraid of death, nor did he feel any regrets. He closed his eyes with a smile in the arms of his lover.
Jing Ke calmly accepted the departure of her lover, and then locked her lover's soul in a special way.
This time, Jing Ke felt even clearer. The soul of her lover had definitely left the current world and gone to a place very close to her own body.
At the same time, Jing Ke discovered that her power had become even stronger. To recover the fragments of her body, she no longer needed to run to the corresponding small world. She only needed to use her power to pull them, and the fragments would come back obediently.
Except for a relatively large piece of her body fragment, which once occupied one-fifth of her body, she had to go there in person to successfully recover and integrate it.

"Is everyone here? Are there only seven of us in this dungeon? Are there any newcomers?" asked the man with dyed yellow hair. He sat in the passenger seat and observed the people in the two rows of seats at the back through the rearview mirror.
In the middle sat two quiet-looking women, and behind them sat three men. Judging from the expressions on their faces, they were probably no longer newcomers, having already successfully cleared a dungeon.
After finding no one to answer him, Huangmao didn't care and continued, "If there are no newcomers, then there's no need to explain the situation in detail. Veteran players all know that there's only one way for us to survive, and that's to work together to clear this dungeon."
"I'm Huang San. I was drawn into this dungeon world three years ago. Including the novice level, I've already completed fourteen dungeons." said Huang San, also known as the yellow-haired man.
The name Huang San is very perfunctory, so perfunctory that everyone knows it is a pseudonym.
But this is not important. In the dungeon world, there are many people who use fake names and fake faces. People who give their real names right from the start are rare animals.
After hearing that Huang San had completed fourteen copies, the three people in the last row all changed their expressions and quickly introduced themselves one by one.
"Xiaobai, including the novice copy, this is the third copy I have encountered." said the young man with fair skin in the back seat.
"This is my sixth one. Call me... Da Zhuang. My friends often called me that before I entered the dungeon world." Da Zhuang, who looks like a dark-skinned athlete, said.
"Just call me Xiaowen. This is my fifth copy." said the gentleman with glasses.
"Oh, everyone sounds so awesome. I just finished a rookie dungeon. This is my second dungeon. Just call me Xiaolu." said the gentle and intellectual-looking woman with green earrings.
"Is the person in the driver's seat also a player?" asked the woman in a black windbreaker next to Xiaolu. She had neat short hair and extremely sharp eyes, and looked like someone who was not to be messed with.
"Yes, I forgot to introduce him just now. The driver is my partner, Black Stone. He has completed about the same number of dungeons as me." Huang San said with a smile, "Miss, how many dungeons have you completed?"
"It's about the same as you. I've been in this dungeon for three years." The girl in the jacket said, "Just call me Number One."
After hearing that everyone had chosen a very perfunctory pseudonym, Huang San's smile remained unchanged, and the tension in his eyes even became a little less.
That's right. After being in the dungeon world for a long time, old players will never tell the truth.
Huang Sanna glanced at No. 1 and silently increased the other party's weight in his heart.
The reason why Huang San did this was very simple. Those who were pulled into the dungeon world and successfully passed the novice dungeon would become so-called players.
Players can improve their abilities through dungeons and obtain various props that can be used in the dungeon world, making this so-called dungeon world look like playing a game.
The dungeon world is made up of countless dungeons, each of which exists independently. Outside of these dungeons is the player's living area, also known as the safe zone.
The world inside the safe zone is somewhat similar to the world outside the dungeon world, except that players living in the safe zone must clear the dungeon world once every three months, otherwise they will be wiped out.
If a player survives in the dungeon world for more than three years, it means that he or she has completed at least twelve dungeons in addition to the novice dungeon.
"Ahem, everyone should have read the copy introduction, right? This time we are on a survival mission, and we just need to survive in the copy for seven days. So my suggestion is that during these seven days, everyone should try not to act separately." Huang San said.
"Sure, to survive we need to stick together." Xiaobai was the first to agree.
"I have no objection. You are all my seniors, and I will be very obedient." Xiaolu said with a smile.
Xiaolu claimed to have only completed the rookie dungeon once, but anyone with a bit of discernment knew she was lying. Given her current state, it was definitely not something a semi-rookie could accomplish.
The probability that those who enter the game for the second time will choose to rely on old players is over 90%.
"Aren't you stopping?" Number One turned his head to look outside. "At the beginning, there were still some houses nearby. Now there's dense forest on both sides, and there are fewer and fewer signs of human activity."
"Should we go back then? There doesn't seem to be much food in the car, and the supplies we brought for survival instinct are also limited. The food in my space has become inedible." Da Zhuang asked.
Heishi, who was sitting in the driver's seat, glanced at the rearview mirror and said, "I just tried it, the car's brakes don't work, and neither does the accelerator."
"The brakes are broken? Then what should we do? Why are we digging a hole at the beginning?" Xiaobai asked anxiously, looking around panically.
"Maybe we haven't reached the right place. A survival dungeon doesn't mean an open world." Number One said calmly.
"If the brakes and accelerator are uncontrollable, then the driver in the driver's seat only needs to control the steering wheel. On a brighter note, isn't that autonomous driving?"
Number One's calm attitude calmed the anxious Xiaobai, and the nervousness of the others was also relieved to a certain extent.
"Yes, I've heard before that the survival book also has a fixed range. Maybe we haven't reached the destination yet, and now is the rest time before officially entering the book." Xiao Wen pushed his glasses and said.
Number One met Huang San's gaze through the rearview mirror. After looking at each other through the mirror for three seconds, they both looked away.
After the three people who seemed to have the most seniority fell silent, the car became quiet.
After five minutes, the sky, which had seemed clear and bright, darkened, and in less than three minutes, there were howling winds, rolling thunderclouds, and heavy rain.
"The speed has slowed down." Heishi said, and began to exert force with his hands gripping the steering wheel.
The accelerator and brake cannot be controlled, but the wipers and front of the car can still be opened normally.
Just over ten seconds after Heishi finished speaking, a building that looked quite old appeared in the distance of the endless path.
With a clang of thunder and lightning, half of the sky became bright, and the large metal characters inlaid on the building gradually became visible.
"The world's first miracle hospital?" Xiaobai in the back seat tried to look up, and after reading the name above, he couldn't help but retract his head and shuddered.
"We won't have to spend a week in this miracle hospital, right? Hospitals are always filled with scary elements." Da Zhuang, who was sitting next to Xiao Bai, also shuddered.
The others didn't say anything. When the van approached the hospital gate, it automatically slowed down and finally stopped steadily at the door.
"Are we going down?" Xiaobai asked first. "I think it's pretty safe inside the car. At worst, we can just eat less. I just checked the backpack and found that 99% of the food is inedible, but there's still 1% left."
After he finished speaking, the rain outside not only got heavier, but the thunder and lightning also became more and more violent, directly striking a stone near the car and smashing the stone into powder.
"This is probably the copy world warning us. If we don't get out of the car, the next lightning might strike the car." Huang San said.
"It's just a hospital. The seven of us veteran players stick together and it won't be difficult to pass it if we are careful and cautious." After Huang San finished speaking, he was the first to open the car door, ran to the security room at the hospital entrance in the rain, and started knocking on the door.
After finding that no one responded, Huang San used some unknown method to quickly open the door.
"There's no one inside, let's come down and talk first." Huang San greeted people standing at the door.
Heishi was the second one to get off the car. After closing the door, he ran to the security room.
Number One glanced at Xiaolu, and after the two exchanged glances implicitly, he also lowered his head, used his arms to block the heavy rain, and arrived at the security room.
The remaining three men looked at each other, and when they saw a flash of lightning in the sky, they immediately rushed out.
When the last man with glasses left the car, lightning as thick as an arm struck the car, completely destroying the van.
"Phew, that was dangerous. If we were three seconds slower, we would have ended up like the van." Xiao Wen, the man with glasses, said with lingering fear.
"Everyone, come and see, there is a manual in the security room." Huang San greeted everyone and generously showed what he had discovered.
[Rules of the World's First Miracle Hospital]
[1. Please keep quiet in the hospital and refrain from making loud noises.]
[2. The hospital gate is open from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. No one is allowed to go out during the rest of the time.]
[3. Patients must follow the attending physician's instructions, eat three meals a day within the prescribed time, and not waste food.]
【……】
[14. All of the above are formulated by the president of this institute, and the final right of interpretation belongs to the president.]
"According to my experience, if we can follow the rules above in the next seven days, there shouldn't be any problems." Huang San touched his chin.
"There are exactly seven umbrellas in the security room. They should be specially prepared for us." Heishi said, picking up the first one.
The others didn't comment on this and took turns picking up the umbrellas beside them and holding them in their hands.
"Brother Huang, why don't we wait here a little longer? I have a feeling I won't be able to get out once I go in." Xiaobai said, his voice trembling. "This hospital gives me a bad feeling."
"It's normal. No copy will give you a good feeling." Huang San said with a smile, and was still the first to go out and open the umbrella.
Black Stone was the second to follow, followed closely by the other three, and the last to set off were Number One and Little Green.
There are very few reminders when entering the dungeon. Apart from the clothes and jewelry on their bodies, each person only has a wallet.
Inside the wallet were some paper money and an ID card. The name on the ID card was not a pseudonym, but the player's real name, the kind that would appear on the safe zone leaderboard.
After checking the contents of his wallet, No. 1 took out his ID card. When he found that it could not fit into his backpack, he hid it in the inner pocket of his jacket.
It is not a good thing to reveal your real name in the dungeon. You are likely to meet enemies and disorderly players who want to kill you and steal your treasures.
After leaving the security room, a seven-story building appeared in the sight of the seven people.
Judging from the appearance alone, this building seems to have been abandoned a long time ago. Not only is there moss on the walls, but the steps at the entrance are also half destroyed.
After the seven people arrived at the hospital entrance one after another, the silent hospital seemed to be awakened, revealing an interior that was different from the exterior, and the originally quiet building also became more lively.
"Welcome to the world's first miracle hospital. Are you seven here to visit patients or to seek treatment?" A guard appeared in front of the player.
"Well, it's raining outside. Let's take shelter from the rain." Xiaobai, who was closest to the nurse, said, swallowing his saliva out of fear.
"Welcome to the world's first miracle hospital. Are you here to visit a patient or to get treatment?" The nurse's eyes fell on Xiaobai and she gave him a standard smile.
If you can ignore the nurse's almost completely black eyes, then this nurse looks quite normal.
"Hello, nurse. One of our friends is sick and hospitalized. He told us that he came to the world's first miracle hospital, but he lost contact with us before he could tell us his room number." Huang San walked over and said, attracting the nurse's attention.
"Excuse me, nurse, could you help me check? Our friend's surname is Wang." Huang San said, with the same standard smile on his face as the nurse's.
"Of course, I'll help you check it right away." The nurse responded with a smile, walked slowly to the service desk, and started typing on the computer.
"It wasn't explicitly stated in the previous rules, but the rules that ordinary people have to follow in the hospital should also be followed here. If you are not sick and not visiting a patient, you should not appear in the hospital." Huang San reminded.
The little white chick nodded like pecking at rice, and followed Huang San closely, as if it had made up its mind to cling to him.
The nurse's inquiry was very efficient, reaching a conclusion in just thirty seconds, with a standard smile on her face.
"According to the hospitalization records, there are currently five patients named Wang in the hospital, in rooms 403, 405, 407, 504, and 514. Do you need me to lead the way, or do you want to find them on your own?"
"Thank you, we can go by ourselves." Huang San chose to decline.
"Okay, just a friendly reminder, although it's daytime now, patients also need to rest. There cannot be more than two visitors in each ward. If there are more than that, the doctors and nurses on duty will be angry." The nurse said with a smile, and her eyes, which had no whites to begin with, looked even deeper.
"Thank you, we will pay attention to it." Huang San remained calm.
"Okay, if you have any problems, you can use the phone in the hallway and dial 0001 to contact me." The nurse's smile seemed to deepen a little. "Everyone, remember to find a friend."
Staring at the nurse's eyes, which were not sure whether they were kind or malicious, the seven people finally entered the hospital smoothly and got the opportunity to move freely temporarily.
As of now, there doesn't seem to be any major danger in the hospital lobby, so Huang San asked the others to look for clues on their own and gather at the stairs in ten minutes.
"Brother Huang San, we don't have cell phones or watches, how can we be sure it will be ten minutes?" After hearing that they had to act separately, Xiaobai showed a reluctant expression on his face.
Xiaobai hadn't lied when he introduced himself; this was indeed his third dungeon. But he'd been able to clear dungeons before because he'd met some kind veteran players there, and it was all thanks to their kindness.
There is nothing wrong with this way of clearing the level from the perspective of the rules, but the rewards after clearing the dungeon are entirely based on the player's contribution.
Newbies who cling to the boss only get the guaranteed rewards, with minimal ability upgrades and the lowest-quality items. In difficult dungeons, the items are almost useless.
Therefore, a vicious cycle appeared in Xiaobai, forcing him to develop in the direction of Cuscuta and become a person who could only rely on other players for a chance of survival.
Huang San also noticed this, and after a brief hesitation, he still showed a kind smile, saying that Xiaobai could stay with him temporarily, and kindly said that there was time on various large screens.
"It's 2:50 now, let's gather at 3 o'clock." Huang San said, and then everyone dispersed.
Number One and Xiaolu also walked separately. Number One went straight to the notice board in the lobby, which had a distribution map of the hospital's departments.
The hospital has seven floors above ground and two floors underground. The second underground floor is a parking lot, and the first underground floor is the morgue and autopsy room.
The first and second floors are similar to those of a typical hospital, housing outpatient clinics, emergency rooms, and various departments. The third floor houses the operating room and laboratory, the fourth and fifth floors are wards, and the sixth floor houses the archives, physical examination center, and the offices of the department heads.
The highest floor, the seventh floor, has only the dean's office.
After noting down the distribution map, Number One carefully looked at the photos of doctors and nurses on the display wall.
The photos of medical staff displayed on the wall are all normal, without any completely black pupils or extra mouths.
However, after reading the introduction of each doctor, No. 1 found that there was no information related to the dean on the display wall.
The entire seventh floor is the dean's office, but there is no photo of the dean on the display stand. This is clearly not right.
Could it be that the dean is the biggest boss in this copy?
This seems to make sense. After all, in the rules that the people in the security room saw, the dean was the one who set the rules and had the final say on the interpretation.
Ten minutes is a very short time. Number One only had time to write down so many things before it was time to gather at three o'clock.
After gathering, no one spoke first, clearly unwilling to share any clues.
Huang San, the current leader, didn't insist. He smiled and said, "I just checked. The hospital only has one elevator for doctors, and it requires a card. If we want to go to the fourth and fifth floors to find someone, we have to climb the stairs."
"Oh right, the nurse just told us clearly. This hospital is only open to patients and their families. We must find our patient and become their family member before 8 p.m."
Huang San continued, "I think everyone still remembers the five room numbers the nurse told us earlier. My suggestion is that you form teams of two and, while exploring the wards, obtain the identities of the sick family members."
"Brother Huang San, can I go with you?" Xiaobai asked.
Huang San smiled, but did not agree directly. He just continued to emphasize: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
I don’t know if Xiaobai understood the trick or not, but he just nodded like a chick pecking at rice and followed Huang San closely.
"I can do it alone." Heishi took the initiative.
"Xiaowen and I are together." Dazhuang followed suit.
"Oh, now I can only stay with Number One. Boss Number One, please don't leave me. I'm a newbie who just passed the level." Xiaolu said, hugging Number One's arm.
Number One frowned, but did not push Xiaolu away. Instead, he acquiesced to this arrangement.
-
Climbing from the first floor to the fourth floor is not a problem for players who have passed the novice copy. They can do it in one go without taking a breath.
However, Heishi did not follow the others to the fourth floor, but continued to walk forward, apparently intending to try his luck on the fifth floor.
"Black Stone is very strong, so don't worry too much about him." Huang San explained and let Xiaobai follow him closely.
There are three rooms on the fourth floor with a patient named Wang. Huang San and Xiaobai took the lead and walked directly into the door of room 403.
Dazhuang and Xiaowen tilted their heads, trying to see what was happening in the ward through the transparent glass on the door.
But the moment the bed door was closed, the originally transparent glass turned into a frosted material, and no matter how you changed the angle, you could only see a foggy scene.
"Should we wait? Or go to the other two rooms?" Xiao Wen asked, pushing his glasses.
"Wait five minutes. If they don't come out within five minutes, we will change rooms." Da Zhuang said, making a very decisive choice.
Number One and Little Green were not in a hurry to leave. They looked at the propaganda slogans in the corridor while waiting for any movement from Room 403.
Unfortunately, after five minutes, the door to the ward was still tightly shut. Dazhuang and Xiaowen didn't dare to force their way in, so they could only walk towards the next room, looking back every few steps, and finally entered Room 405.
"Number One, are we going to 407?" Xiaolu asked in a very familiar tone.
"No rush, let's go to the nurse's station first." Number One said, and walked to the nurse's station in the middle of the corridor.
Xiaolu smiled and quickly followed Number One.
"Excuse me, is there a patient named Wang living in Room 407?" Number One asked politely.
"407? 407 is a large ward, and there are four people in it." The nurse said, fiddling with the computer in front of her.
"Yes, who are you to Wang Liu?" asked the nurse.
"We are Wang Liu's friends and are here to visit him," Number One said. "Ms. Nurse, could you please explain Wang Liu's condition to us? As Wang Liu's friends, we are very worried."
The nurse hesitated for a moment, carefully noting the appearance of Number One and Xiaolu before speaking. "Since you're Wang Liu's friends, I won't hide it from you. Wang Liu's condition is very serious, and it would be best to perform surgery as soon as possible. However, Wang Liu refuses to undergo surgery, and we can't find her family to sign for it."
"Why is Wang Liu unwilling to undergo surgery? Is it because the risk is too great?" Number One followed up with the question.
"Surgery is inherently risky, but it's very common in our hospital. When Dr. Chen is busiest, he performs five such surgeries a day."
The nurse said, "We know that amputating both legs is a bit cruel for such a young person. But we are the world's number one miracle hospital. As long as you are patient, a miracle will happen. Maybe someone will be willing to donate their legs to her."
The nurse seemed to have turned on some strange switch and began to talk incessantly to No. 1 and Xiaolu. No. 1 interrupted her three times in a row. Finally, after someone from the ward rang the call bell, he was able to let the nurse leave.
"Number One, I have a bad suspicion." Xiao Lu sighed after the nurse left. "Now that we've become friends with Wang Liu, won't we be responsible for persuading him to undergo surgery?"
Xiaolu: "Well, the dungeon loves to see players get humiliated. Maybe there's only one way to get Wang Liu to agree to the surgery, and that's to find someone to donate legs to her."
"This is a hospital, there are many patients." Number One glanced at Little Green, "I won't let you lose your legs."
"Hehe, I knew you were the best, Xiaoyi~" Xiaolu dragged out the last syllable.
"In the dungeon, call me Number One." Number One emphasized.
"Okay, okay, number one, you are the best~~" Xiaolu came back with the same trick.
-
On the other side, on the seventh floor, the dean's office.
Jing Ke pushed up his glasses and watched every move of the seven players through the monitor.
When Jing Ke saw Xiaolu holding Number One's arm, a hint of dissatisfaction appeared in his cold eyes, and the original seven shots became two shots.
One shot follows Number One, the other follows the so-called Black Stone.
Relying on the information they got from the nurses' station, No. 1 and Xiaolu quickly became friends with Wang Liu, and also learned about the situation of the other three people in the bed.
Wang Liu needs both legs amputated, the one next to her is having both arms amputated, the one opposite her is having both eyes removed, and the one diagonally opposite her is having one kidney removed.
Everyone in the ward will lose a part of their body after lying on the operating table, so the four people in the ward are very resistant to the surgery.
Just like Xiaolu's complaints when he entered the room, we can learn from the conversations between the other three patients and their families that in order for them to agree to the surgery, one condition must be met, that is, they must gain what they lose.
Only after finding a donor for the corresponding body part will they agree to go to the operating room.
"What should we do? Should we exchange information with others?" Xiaolu asked, holding an apple and a knife in her hands, pretending to be Wang Liu's good friend and peeling an apple for her.
"No rush, let's wait and see." Number One said, his eyes falling on Wang Liu lying on the hospital bed.
Wang Liu said that both her legs would be amputated, but judging from the fact that she can still sit cross-legged, there is nothing wrong with her legs and she looks no different from a healthy person.
The World's First Miracle Hospital, why is this hospital called the World's First Miracle Hospital?
Number One fell into deep thought, staring at Wang Liu's cross-legged sitting posture and began to lose focus.
Xiaolu was obviously used to the state of Number One. He handed the apple to Wang Liu. After the other party took it and took a bite, he chose another plump apple and continued to peel it.
Thirty seconds later, number one had half a peeled fruit in his hand.
He looked up at Xiaolu and saw that she was eating the apple just like Wang Liu, so he put the apple in his mouth and took a bite.
After finishing the apples, Number One and Little Green planned to get up and leave to see what was happening with the others.
"Are you guys leaving?" Wang Liu asked, still nibbling on his apple, looking at Number One and Little Green with longing in his eyes. "Can you stay here with me a little longer?"
Wang Liu looks like a sickly little girl, about twenty years old, with a hint of childishness on her face. The striped hospital gown on her body makes her look fragmented, which easily arouses empathy from others.
"We'll come back to see you, but not now." Number One said, without a trace of sympathy in his eyes.
"Student Wang, we still have some things to finish. We will come back to see you after we finish them." The gentle-looking Xiaolu was the same, with coldness and vigilance in her eyes.
"Okay, then remember to come back and have dinner with me. I will tell the nurse to prepare meals for you." Wang Liu said.
Xiaolu's eyelids jumped. "Okay, thank you, Mr. Wang. What time do you usually eat?"
"The person who delivers the food will be here at five o'clock. We have half an hour to eat. You two sisters must remember to come back." Wang Liu said, with red eyes, looking extremely reluctant.
Xiaolu smiled and nodded, touched Wang Liu's head, and then left with No. 1 without hesitation.
"It's 4:10, and we only have 50 minutes to exchange the first intelligence." said No. 1.
Xiaolu tucked her slightly curly hair behind her head and said, "Fifty minutes is enough. The other people's beds are very close to ours."
Number One said nothing as he walked to beds 405 and 403. The door of the former was still closed, and the transparent glass remained frosted.
The door of the latter's ward was ajar, and the glass was transparent and clean. Standing outside, one could see the harmonious scene in the ward.
Ordinary wards all had double beds, so Huang San and Xiao Bai seemed to be lucky. There was only one patient in the double ward, and that patient seemed very talkative. He was chatting with Huang San with his back to the door.
For experts, if they want to attract the other person's attention, they don't need to call the other person's name directly, they just need to lock the other person with their eyes.
The perception of masters is extremely sharp. If their undisguised gaze falls on the other person, they will notice it within three seconds at most.
Huang San's perception was not yet at the level of a master, but he also noticed something in the fifth second. After turning sideways and talking to Xiaobai for a few words, he came out of the ward.
"You two are out?" A hint of surprise flashed in Huang San's eyes.
"Yeah, but I have to go back to eat at five o'clock. How about you?" Xiaolu asked.
"Same, dinner starts at five o'clock." Huang San said, pinching his brows. "The patient in our room will be discharged tomorrow. If nothing unexpected happens, we have to go to the fifth floor to meet new friends tomorrow."
Xiaolu curled her lips and said, "This is great. If I'm discharged tomorrow, the doctor won't make things difficult for me, and certainly not for my friends."
"What's the situation on your side? When will the patient be discharged?" Huang San asked.
"I'm not sure. He might not be discharged in the near future," Xiaolu said. "The people in Room 405 haven't come out yet. What do you think?"
"Did you knock on the door?" Huang San asked.
Xiaolu smiled and said, "I'm just a newbie who passed a novice dungeon. My physical data is not good, and the props on hand are pitifully few. I don't dare to knock on the door."
Huang San: ...
Women's mouths are deceiving. This woman must have been through at least five or six dungeons, otherwise she wouldn't be so at ease in this place.
Huang San knew the truth, but in order to maintain the superficial peace in the team, he was not stupid enough to expose the other party at this time, but came to the door of 405.
After discovering that the glass was frosted, Huang San felt in his pocket, then took out a pair of glasses and put them on his nose.
Three seconds later, Huang San took back his glasses and quickly took out eye drops to apply medicine to his eyes.
"He's inside and still alive. Let's talk about it when dinner is served at five o'clock." Huang San said.
"Great." Xiaolu gave the other person a thumbs-up. "Where's your partner? Do you want to go to the fifth floor to see him?"
"No need. If it's a problem he can't solve, it would be useless for me to go there." Huang San waved his hand. "If he wanted to exchange information, he would have come down on his own initiative."
After realizing that they couldn't get anything useful out of Huang San, Number One and Xiaolu didn't force him. After walking back and forth twice in the corridor on the fourth floor, they took the initiative to go to the stairwell, intending to take the time to check out the situation on the second and third floors.
The corridor door on the third floor was locked. Xiaolu tried, but found that he couldn't pry the lock with wire, so he gave Number One a questioning look.
Number One shook his head. Since there was a lock preventing people from entering and leaving at will, it would be better not to break the rules on the first day.
After giving up on the third floor, No. 1 and Xiaolu successfully reached the second floor and saw the seats full of patients waiting for treatment and medical staff walking very fast.
There are very few clues to be found on the second floor. Without registration, the two cannot enter and exit the corresponding department at will and can only wander around the periphery.
Seeing that it was already 4:50, Number One and Little Green turned around and walked up to the fourth floor.
Whether it is Wang Liu's request or the hospital rules in the security room, they all emphasize that three meals a day must be on time and not be wasted.
Xiaolu was worried about getting stuck on the stairs, but that didn't happen. They successfully reached the fourth floor a minute later.
Whether patients or family members, the meals are the same, with three dishes, one meat, one vegetable, and one and a half meat dish.
Xiaolu took out a silver needle in front of the entrance and checked the food one by one. After making sure that the silver needle had not changed color, he gave No. 1 a reassuring look.
The silver needle is not an ordinary silver needle, but an item that Xiaolu got in the last copy. It can be used to check whether the food is poisonous.
Because it can only determine whether there is poison but cannot show the relationship between specific species, silver needles have no restrictions in testing poisons and can be used countless times in the same copy.
If poison is identified, the silver needle will change color and it will take two hours for the silver needle to eliminate the poison.
"This item is quite cheap. Go to Ye Jiulin and tell him my name. You can buy one for only 80 points." Xiaolu said in a low voice, "She got the method for making silver needles in the last dungeon. She's working with Lingxian, the hand-rubbing expert, and can now mass-produce them."
Number One nodded, "How much did you bring in this time?"
Xiaolu: "A set of thirteen."
"You can consider selling three of them, pricing each at five hundred. They should all be willing to spend the money." Number One said.
Xiaolu's eyes lit up. Players can trade freely both inside and outside the dungeon. As of now, a silver needle that can detect poison is indeed a necessity.
"Should we tell them later that we found something wrong with one of the dishes?" Xiaolu is not a good person. After Number One opened her mind, she quickly thought of raising the price.
Number One thought for three seconds, then shook his head. "That's not necessary. This is the first day, and we might need to work together later. Let's maintain a good relationship first."
Number One is not a saint either. If today is the fifth or sixth day, Number One will not stop his friend.
In other words, there is no truly good person who can survive in the copy world.
Whether it is to keep themselves alive or to become stronger and get more props, everyone has taken lives on their hands, and they are absolutely not good people.
The dinner without any problems gave the seven people a chance to replenish their energy.
But just after dinner was over, an announcement was broadcast in the hospital corridor.
"Notice, the director and the chief physician will conduct a joint round of consultations on the patients on the fourth floor at 6:00 sharp. Please do not leave the ward at will. Notice, director..."
