The other side of the phone fell into a long silence again, and then George hung up without saying another word.
Zhou Xiaozhen and Zhao Lan looked at her eagerly, "How is it?"
"He agreed." Yu Xiao happily sent a text message to George, telling him the information about Tie Niu.
"Tsk." Zhou Xiaozhen shook her head with a complicated expression, "George is quite lovable."
Zhao Lan really couldn't understand the thoughts of these young people, "No matter what, you can't pity a ghost, right?"
"Sister Lan, you don't understand." Zhou Xiaozhen narrowed her eyes and raised her index finger and shook it, "Sometimes the more you pity someone, the more you want to bully him, and the more you want to see him miserable."
"..." Zhao Lan opened her mouth wide, feeling that there was a part in her brain that couldn't turn around, and it was stuck.
She looked at Yu Xiao, "You think so too?"
"How is that possible?" Yu Xiao denied it flatly, "Am I the kind of person with a distorted world view?"
Zhou Xiaozhen pouted in grievance, Sister Yingyingxiao said that I have a distorted world view...
Yu Xiao sorted out the talismans she drew today, and there was a thick stack. Holding the stack of talisman paper, she felt more secure and more heroic. When a person suddenly becomes rich, he can't help but show off.
"A talisman in the mall sells for ten points. If I also sell talismans in the mall, I will only sell them for five yuan." Yu Xiao thought of a way to get a steady stream of points without applying for treatment, "Will I make a lot of money then?"
"Oh, that's right!" Zhou Xiaozhen was excited again, "Sister Xiao, your talisman drawing is almost 100% successful, and the cost is almost negligible. You can draw dozens a day. At the very least, if you sell twenty a day, that's 100 points. Oh my god, a hundred points! How many copies do I have to go through to get that!"
Not to mention Zhou Xiaozhen, even Yu Xiao herself couldn't help but breathe heavily.
"Ah..." Yu Xiao felt hot all over, her face flushed, "I'm going to be immortal!"
Zhou Xiaozhen and Yu Xiao held hands, "Sister Xiao, you really are going to be immortal!"
"Hahaha..." Yu Xiao was very excited, "The three of us will be immortal together!"
Zhou Xiaozhen jumped up and down, "Ahhhh... Mom and Dad, I don't have to die!"
"Ahem!" Zhao Lan, who was watching coldly from the side, finally couldn't help but interrupt them, "Although you are very happy, there are some things I have to say. Our mall is the Sixth Hospital Mall, and we don't share the same mall with other hospitals. In other words, Xiaoxiao, your customers are only patients from the Sixth Hospital."
"So what?" Zhou Xiaozhen didn't understand, "There are quite a few patients in the Sixth Hospital, at least several hundred."
"Yes, that's true." Zhao Lan said tiredly, "But even if they only sell it for five points each, they can't afford it. Think about it carefully, from the time the Sixth Hospital was put into use to today, how many people have completed the first course of treatment? Even if they have completed the first course of treatment, how many points do they have? They don't get any titles, let alone reward points."
"..."
The beautiful dream collapsed in an instant, and Yu Xiao lost all his passion. She leaned against the bed weakly, and said dejectedly: "Let's discuss when to enter the dungeon again."
They unanimously decided to apply for the course tonight and enter the course dungeon early tomorrow morning. After all, it was useless to stay in the ward all the time.
Zhao Lan has read all the experience posts in the forums of the four hospitals. She concluded: "These experience posts are very useful, but not many people write them, and the probability of us entering these dungeons is not high."
"Why?" Zhou Xiaozhen said, holding spicy noodles in both hands: "Why are there so few people writing experience posts? We are all patients, shouldn't we help each other?"
"Usually, this is the case." Zhao Lan analyzed: "But here, patients are not in a cooperative relationship, but a competitive relationship."
"Ah?"
Zhao Lan flipped through the points list and said, "The top ten will be rewarded with function cards, which can be exchanged for prop cards, physical cards, luck cards, and other very practical things that can save your life at critical moments. Think about it, if you have gone through a dungeon with great difficulty, and then write an experience post after you come out, people who read the experience post will not only pass the dungeon easily, but will also be able to get a title, gain more points, rank higher than you, and even get a function card. Would you be willing?"
"Ah..." Zhou Xiaozhen opened her mouth, unable to speak.
Yu Xiao was silent, too. She asked herself, would she be willing to do this if it were her turn?
Most people are selfish, especially when it comes to matters that concern their own survival.
"Well, why are you so serious?" Zhao Lan smiled and patted his two sisters on the shoulders, "It's not time for us to consider such things. After all, our forum level is not even level three, and we can't post on the forum yet."
That's true, Yu Xiao also smiled, "Let's think about tomorrow's copy. I wonder how it compares to Saint Elizabeth's. Will the difficulty increase?"
"I'm not afraid even if it increases." Zhou Xiaozhen clenched her fist confidently, "We are no longer the same as before!"
Zhao Lan clicked on the forum background and said, "Are you so brave? Come on, come and apply for the next course of treatment."
The familiar little skull grinned and blew a kiss, "Thank you for your active cooperation, Qiu Mi~"
"It's almost time, let's get ready for dinner. Go to bed early tonight, who knows if you can sleep tomorrow night?" Zhao Lan said very experiencedly.
Zhou Xiaozhen nodded in agreement, "Yeah."
Yu Xiao was puzzled, "Why can't you sleep?"
"..." Zhao Lan and Zhou Xiaozhen both remembered Yu Xiao's extraordinary ability to fall asleep as soon as he said so.
...
Zhou Xiaozhen leaned against the door, waiting for the delivery man to arrive.
Yu Xiao suddenly remembered and took out the pair of sunglasses that the delivery man Tie Niu bribed him to put on. Zhao Lan took a look and said excitedly, "Do you want to see what it looks like outside?"
"Yeah." Yu Xiao nodded. Since they were dragged into this ghost game, Yu Xiao has never seen what is outside the door again. I don't know if the outside of the door is still the same as before, or if the outside of the door is also like the outside of the window and has completely changed?
The lights in the ward were on. Yu Xiao was wearing sunglasses, and everything she saw was covered in a layer of gray.
She was waiting, waiting for the food delivery man to come over so that she could have a look.
Zhou Xiaozhen at the door said, "Here they come, I heard the sound."
Yu Xiao closed her eyes, and then opened them again. The scene in front of her was completely different.
She and Zhou Xiaozhen had once opened the door of the ward completely, and there was a thick darkness outside, and she could not see anything. But this time was different, she saw it.
Although there was still a layer of black fog, it was very light and did not affect her vision.
Yu Xiao could not help but walk towards the door. Outside the door was a corridor, old and dilapidated, with large flakes of paint falling off the wall, revealing the wires tangled inside.
The layout was still that of a hospital, but it was obviously not the original hospital. Yu Xiao walked to the door, and suddenly she saw something.
On the left side outside the door, there was a large mass of something moving.
Upon closer inspection, it was several human figures entangled together, wrestling in incredible postures.
After fighting for a long time, the winner was finally decided, and the two with long hair pushed the cart away crying. The remaining skeleton in chef's uniform stood up, picked up the chef's hat from the ground and put it on his head. He straightened his clothes and then came over with a dining cart full of food.
The skeleton walked to their door, knocked politely, and said in a magnetic voice: "Want some food?"
Yu Xiao: "..."
Zhou Xiaozhen: "Do you know who lives in our ward?"
The skeleton said respectfully: "Yes, the great Dean St. Elizabeth lives here."
"Humph." Zhou Xiaozhen raised her eyebrows proudly, "Good to know, tonight we want to eat..."
As Zhou Xiaozhen called out the names of the dishes one by one, the skeleton bent down and started to take food from the bottom layer of the dining cart. Yu Xiao could see clearly that the food under the dining cart was all normal food. And on the upper floor, there is clearly a human thigh lying on it.
So in fact, there is no such thing as a fake deliveryman. Each deliveryman has prepared two kinds of food, and can switch between the real and fake at any time as long as they wish.
The skeleton prepared the food, put it into the bag carefully, and then knocked on the door again.
Zhou Xiaozhen raised her hand to open the door, and Yu Xiao said with a smile: "Tell Tie Niu that he can prepare to change jobs."
"Huh?" Zhou Xiaozhen was a little surprised, "Is the one outside really Tie Niu? Why is it always him? Is there only one deliveryman in the Sixth Hospital?"
Yu Xiao thought to himself that of course there is more than one, but the other deliverymen were all chased away by Tie Niu.
Tieniu came in with a bag in his hand, and Zhou Xiaozhen took it and said, "Tieniu, the dean said that you can prepare to change jobs."
"Bang!"
"Gulugulu..."
"?" Zhou Xiaozhen: "What's that sound?"
Yu Xiao's mouth twitched, "Take the food and close the door quickly, brother Tieniu is so excited that his head is about to fall off."
Zhou Xiaozhen: "..."
Tieniu hurriedly knelt on the ground and picked up his head. He trembled and pressed the skull on the spine, then pushed the food cart and disappeared happily at the end of the corridor.
Zhao Lan asked curiously, "What's the situation outside?"
Zhou Xiaozhen asked curiously, "What does Tie Niu look like?"
"It's very shabby outside, like the corridor of an abandoned hospital, filled with dark fog, nothing else." Yu Xiao looked at Zhou Xiaozhen again, "Tie Niu looks very skinny, from head to toe."
Zhou Xiaozhen: "..."
With the experience last time, the three of them were very calm that night. I slept peacefully and woke up refreshed the next morning.
Zhao Lan washed her face, sat on the bed in her hospital gown and drank water.
The last time she entered the dungeon, she deliberately changed into a set of clothes for going out, but after entering the dungeon, she automatically changed into a striped hospital gown, so she didn't bother this time.
Yu Xiao made a cup of milk, Zhou Xiaozhen was eating spicy strips, and the three of them were waiting for the time to come.
"Ding Dong!"
It was exactly eight o'clock.
Yu Xiao fell into darkness, and when she opened her eyes again, she found herself standing in the wild.
It can't be said to be in the wild, because there was a low house not far ahead. Yu Xiao looked down at herself. She was wearing a blue cloth jacket from the 1950s and 1960s, gray shoes on her feet, and standing on the dirt road.
Zhao Lan and Zhou Xiaozhen were right next to her, dressed similarly to her. In addition to the three of them, there were six other people here, four men and two women.
They were all young people, wearing similar clothes, and observing their surroundings like them.
