In the community, there are two types of painkillers that can be obtained from the medical box, and both have very clear ingredient lists on the bottle.

However, the painkillers in the game do not have this, which is clearly a deliberate choice by the game designer, the Imitator.

But Qin Cheng did not give up at this point, he placed the pill in his palm and examined it closely, then frowned and fell into deep thought.

Soon, the game is about to officially begin.

Qin Cheng noticed that the indicator lights were lit on three of the four doors in the room, which all led to "patients."

This means that the players on the other side of the doors have sent requests.

As long as Qin Cheng accepts the request, both sides can open the door to meet in this round of the game.

But the "auditor room" door did not have a light on.

Qin Cheng thought for a moment and decided to first send a request to the "auditor room."

But there was no response.

Clearly, the player in the "auditor room" must have chosen another room.

The three rooms that sent requests to Qin Cheng were the "VIP patient" and two "ordinary patients," with attached Medical Points of 800 points, 300 points, and 0 points respectively.

After considering, Qin Cheng chose the door with the "ordinary patient" who offered no extra Medical Points, and accepted the request at the last moment.

Before passing through, there was a special prompt on the small screen beside the door.

[After accepting the request, no other door can be opened in this round of the game, are you sure?]

Qin Cheng pressed the [Confirm] button, the screen emitted a "beep beep" sound, and the door unlocked with a "click."

A player hesitantly pushed the door open and entered, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Clearly, the other party also knew that as a doctor, Qin Cheng had many choices, even if he couldn’t see the "auditor," he was very likely to prioritize the "VIP patient," rather than him, an ordinary patient.

After all, VIP patients have more Medical Points.

"Hello."

Qin Cheng glanced at the nameplate on the ordinary patient’s door.

[Community 8 - Li Haoqiang].

He was an ordinary-looking male player, appeared to be in his thirties, with no distinguishing features besides a simple crew cut.

"Dr. Qin! Hello!"

Li Haoqiang’s attitude was quite respectful, and he probably didn’t know Qin Cheng’s real identity as a doctor but addressed him according to the identity in the game.

Qin Cheng did not say much, just briefly chatted with Li Haoqiang about the current rules, confirming the room situation from the perspective of an ordinary player.

Li Haoqiang’s expression was average, but he gave a brief description.

After a moment of consideration, Qin Cheng took out a bottle of Type I painkillers that doctors could directly purchase from the vending machine and placed it on the table.

He had opened a bottle before, this bottle was newly purchased, brand new and unopened.

"This is the only type of painkiller that as a doctor I can purchase from the vending machine.

"The minimum allowed price in the game rules is 600 Medical Points per bottle, with 5 pills inside each bottle.

"According to the game rules, each player might experience pain each round of the game, and since the first instance of pain hasn’t occurred yet, it’s unclear how severe it is.

"If you feel you need it, I can sell it to you at the minimum price of 600 per bottle."

Li Haoqiang hesitated a bit, then nodded: "Okay, since you say so, I’ll take a bottle.

"Honestly, at first, I didn’t expect you to open the door for me, I was planning to tough it out at first. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"But you didn’t open the door for the VIP patient first and opened it for me, an ordinary patient, so I trust your judgment."

Both sides took out their Medical Cards and completed the transaction.

Li Haoqiang took the small white bottle, examined it carefully, seemingly worried whether this medication would actually have sufficient analgesic effect.

"Doctor, how should this medicine be taken?"

Li Haoqiang was not sure if Qin Cheng was a real doctor, so he asked a bit hesitantly.

Qin Cheng replied: "You can’t discern the components from the bottle, but generally speaking, take at most one pill per round of the game, even if the pain is unbearable, it’s best not to increase the dose arbitrarily."

Li Haoqiang nodded: "Alright, I got it, doctor, thank you!"

This round of meeting time was about to end, and Li Haoqiang, after expressing his gratitude profusely, returned to his own room.

...

A bit earlier in one of the "Sales" rooms.

Ye Lin had also just finished listening to the rule prompts on the big screen and was standing in front of the floor plan, confirming the location of her room.

The four sales rooms were located at the very center of the entire venue, roughly forming a "square" shape.

Each sales room connected to two different "auditor rooms," which further connected to two different zones.

The sales room where Ye Lin was located, connected to Zone A and Zone B, according to the floor plan, was in the upper right corner of the "square."

Compared to other rooms, the "sales" rooms were the most luxurious.

The decor of the entire room could even be described as "opulent," not only with high-end genuine leather sofas, exquisitely artistic coffee tables, bars filled with many fine wines, but also with many lavish decorations that had no practical purpose.

There were only two doors in the room, leading to the auditor rooms of Zone A and Zone B, respectively.

There were no doors between the sales and sales rooms.

Between the two doors, there was a huge corner floor-to-ceiling window protruding into the atrium.

One could clearly see the situation in the rooms surrounding the atrium.

"Did I get assigned this special sales identity because I surrendered 30,000 minutes of visa time before entering the game?"

Ye Lin proceeded to the vending machine to see which special medicines were available for purchase.

[Type C Painkiller]

[5 pills per bottle.]

[Price: 300 Medical Points.]

[Suggested retail range: 500-2000 Medical Points.]

[Type M Painkiller]

[5 pills per bottle.]

[Price: 1000 Medical Points.]

[Suggested retail range: 1200-1500 Medical Points.]

[Type O Painkiller]

[5 pills per bottle.]

[Price: 100 Medical Points.]

[Suggested retail range: 50-3000 Medical Points.]

[Type F Painkiller]

[5 pills per bottle.]

[Price: 200 Medical Points.]

[Suggested retail range: 200-5000 Medical Points.]

The description of these four different medications made Ye Lin frown.

From the product descriptions, one could only see the price and suggested retail range differences, nothing else was discernible.

The disparity in the suggested retail range was especially large, some medications could be sold for as little as 50 Medical Points, while others could be priced at an astronomical 5000 Medical Points.

The question is, would anyone really pay 5000 points for just 5 pills?

The suggested retail range is the minimum and maximum price allowed by the game rules, but if no one buys it, there’s no point in setting it high.

After brief contemplation, Ye Lin bought one bottle of each of the four different painkillers from the vending machine.

Then, Ye Lin looked at the four almost identical white bottles from the vending machine’s output and fell into thought.
