45 Trouble
◎Missing mission target◎
After not seeing each other for a few days, Li Yiqing's clinginess seemed to have reached a new level.
Qi Qiuxue didn't want to answer such a cheesy question, so she put the bone knife back into her backpack and called her, "Let's go, let's go back."
"Axue!" Li Yiqing followed her like a tail, and the two went straight back to the nurses' station. Coincidentally, Wu Shanyue and the others were there too. When they saw Li Yiqing behind Qi Qiuxue, they were suddenly confused.
Wu Shanyue asked tentatively: "Axue, who is this?"
"Li Yiqing." Qi Qiuxue introduced her to everyone. "She's also a player. She entered the dungeon yesterday."
"Yesterday?" Zhu Lan found it incredible. Like Qi Qiuxue, she had gone through three dungeons and had never encountered such a situation. "How is that possible?"
She immediately doubted the truth of Li Yiqing's words: "Are you sure she's not lying?"
After saying this, Qi Qiuxue turned around and looked at the person behind her. Li Yiqing shook his head frankly and said seriously, "Xue, everything I said is true. Please believe me."
"I did come here yesterday," she explained to the other players. Her expression and tone were sincere, not like she was lying. "I entered the dungeon at noon, and I was the only player there. They say there are single-player dungeons in the game. I thought it was just bad luck, and I was terrified until this morning. Finally, I had to accept my fate."
Li Yiqing: "I thought I would be alone forever, but I didn't expect a new player to join the game today."
"Last night must have been very difficult for you." Wu Shanyue felt very sympathetic towards her situation.
Li Yiqing nodded when he heard this and said pitifully, "Yeah, it really scared me to death."
"Since you arrived a day earlier than us, you must have more information." Xu Gui interrupted their conversation and said, "Can you tell us about it?"
"Okay." Li Yiqing nodded, sorted out his thoughts in his mind, and shared the information he had currently obtained with a few people.
"This hospital specializes in cancer patients, open to all walks of life, rich and poor. According to the promotional posters posted inside the hospital, the mayor of this city has been providing substantial financial and technical support to the hospital's treatment efforts over the past two years."
"Perhaps due to the special needs of the patients, and to prevent anyone from bringing in various pathogens from outside, the hospital has adopted a fully closed operating model. Newly admitted patients must undergo thorough disinfection before being admitted, and medical staff are not allowed to leave without permission. The hospital has a total of 24 floors, and most floors, except for the doctor's office and nurses' station, are occupied by wards. Other floors also have cafeterias, pharmacies, operating rooms, and so on."
"If we want to take the elevator to other floors, we need to swipe our cards. Doctors and nurses have elevator cards, but their permissions are different. Doctors can go to almost any floor, while nurses have certain restrictions. They can go to some floors but not others. If you really need to go, you can ask the doctor and head nurse to borrow their cards after obtaining their consent. You must return them promptly after use."
There are quite a lot of rules.
Qi Qiuxue listened quietly and then had a question: "Since it's a fully enclosed operation model, I guess we have to stay in the hospital every night. Where are the staff dormitories?"
"There are staff dormitories on every floor, but doctors and nurses don't live together," Li Yiqing said. "Their rooms seem to be on a higher floor, while the nurses' rooms are right there..."
She pointed to the rooms at the end of the corridor. "Each dormitory can accommodate six people. I was the only one in the room I stayed in yesterday, and the remaining five beds were unoccupied. As for the other dormitories, they are currently full."
So that's it.
Qi Qiuxue nodded. Based on the clues currently available, the number of players should not increase any further.
"Ah Qing." But she still had a question. She wondered if it was because the players entered the dungeon at different times, but she hadn't received the mission requirements issued by the system after arriving. Li Yiqing had arrived earlier than them, so perhaps she would know, "What is the mission objective of this dungeon?"
After he finished speaking, Li Yiqing was stunned.
Qi Qiuxue thought she didn't hear clearly, so she repeated the question again. Li Yiqing just widened her eyes and shook her head.
She even asked Qi Qiuxue, "Axue, don't you understand?"
"?" Wu Shanyue was stunned. If Qi Qiuxue hadn't suddenly mentioned it, she would have almost overlooked this detail. "We don't know the content of the mission. The system hasn't appeared since we entered the dungeon."
"What the hell." Zhu Lan on the side followed up. She had a bad temper and hated troublesome things the most, but based on the information she knew now, this copy might be the most troublesome one she had ever experienced.
She began to call the system, trying to ask it about the task, but all she got in response was endless silence. The system did not appear and did not speak.
The other players tried one after another, but the system remained unmoved.
"What went wrong?" Wu Shanyue suddenly panicked. "Or is this... just the way this dungeon works?"
"Is there such a copy?" She tried to ask several other players for help. Unlike the previous copies, there were no new players this time.
"I don't know." Lu Jin shook his head, frowning, "At least I haven't encountered it."
"Neither do I." Xu Gui's expression was not much better. "Are you asking us to explore freely? Then to what extent do we have to achieve it? What does it take to meet the clearance standards? And time... is there a time limit for this dungeon?"
No one could give an answer and everyone fell silent.
"Let's start by collecting clues." Qi Qiuxue's eyes were dim. Just like Wu Shanyue was worried, she was also wondering if there really was such a copy in the game?
"Zhang Xue, Li Yiqing." Without giving it time to think, the head nurse gave another task. "There are several patients in room 1322 who need their IVs changed. Go take care of them."
"As for everyone else, go to bed 1325. There are a few new patients coming in."
This is what a nurse's job is like, it's tedious and hard work.
"Go to work first, and pay attention to all the information around you at all times." She reminded the other players as quickly as possible, and then went to Ward 1322 with Li Yiqing.
The day's work ended in a busy manner and time quickly came to evening.
In her spare time, Qi Qiuxue checked the nurse schedule posted in the nurse station. There were many patients in the hospital, and not only did they need to be carefully monitored during the day, but they couldn't relax at night either. Especially since this hospital housed many cancer patients, and emergencies often occurred.
The schedule looked like it had just been changed; the paper was new and the colors were bright. Qi Qiuxue noticed that none of the six players, including herself, had night shifts this week.
"Go and have some rest." After handing over the work, the night nurse smiled and said goodnight to the others, "Have a sweet dream~"
"Thank you." Wu Shanyue was a polite and well-behaved child. Even though he knew the person in front of him was just an NPC, he still responded with a kind smile, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard." The nurses shook their heads, smiles still on their faces, but their eyes seemed to become intriguing.
"I'm so tired." The environment in the dormitory was pretty good, clean and tidy, and fully equipped. Several people took a shower one after another and lay on the bed for a while.
Wu Shanyue was still worried about the mission target. Seeing Qi Qiuxue and Li Yiqing talking, he tentatively came over.
It wasn't until now that Qi Qiuxue finally found the opportunity to chat with her briefly: "I didn't expect you were also a player."
"I didn't expect Ah Xue was the same," Wu Shanyue said, then suddenly realized, "So this is why you resigned."
"Yeah." Qi Qiuxue asked back, "What about you? Why are you still working?"
"I don't have much to do anyway. I don't know what else I can do if I don't go to work." Wu Shanyue chuckled and deliberately skipped the topic. "Axue, do you have any props or weapons?"
"There is a knife." Qi Qiuxue said.
"Oh." Wu Shanyue nodded and called out to Li Yiqing as Qi Qiuxue had called her. "Ah Qing, how about you?"
"I have a potion," Li Yiqing said. "It's a one-time item that allows me to quickly move to a certain place."
"This is a very useful prop," Wu Shanyue said. "It can save your life at critical moments."
"I also have a weapon." Since Qi Qiuxue and Li Yiqing had already told her frankly, there was naturally no need for her to hide anything. In order to make it easier to explain, Wu Shanyue directly took out her weapon from her backpack.
It was a gun, about the size of a palm, pink and white in color, and there was even a small bow on the gun. The shape was really strange, but it fit Wu Shanyue's hand surprisingly well.
"There are six bullets in the gun," Wu Shanyue explained carefully. "The more guilty I feel about using the target, the more powerful it will be."
Li Yiqing was confused and didn't quite understand what Wu Shanyue meant.
But as someone who has played games with Wu Shanyue several times, Qi Qiuxue thinks this sentence is not difficult to understand. It seems that the weapons obtained in the copy are not distributed randomly, but are related to the user himself to a certain extent.
"Have you ever played a shooting game?" Qi Qiuxue suddenly asked Li Yiqing.
Li Yiqing nodded: "I have played it before."
Qi Qiuxue asked again: "How did you feel when you killed the monster?"
Li Yiqing thought for a moment and said, "Excited, happy, but also a little scared and nervous."
Qi Qiuxue smiled and said, "Wu Shanyue was different. After she passionately killed all the monsters, the first emotion that came over her was guilt. She felt that the monsters that died at her hands were extremely pitiful."
It sounds a bit "madonna-like".
Li Yiqing paused: "...Then she won't fight next time?"
Qi Qiuxue shook her head. "No, she'll feel guilty and increase her firepower, trying to use a faster and more efficient method to get rid of all the monsters."
“…”
Li Yiqing withdrew his superficial judgment of Wu Shanyue in his heart.
She is not a "Saint Virgin" at all, she is clearly a "butcher".
