The sizes and shapes of these four bottles are exactly the same, the only difference being the labels, which read ’Class C Painkiller’ or ’Class M Painkiller’.

Opening the caps and tearing off the seals, all four bottles contain small white pills of exactly the same size, with a diameter of about 5 millimeters.

Perhaps there are some subtle differences in these pills? But Ye Lin stared at them carefully in her palm for a while, unable to discern any differences.

"Since they are four different types of drugs, their effects must also vary.

"The game rules also mention that these drugs have real-world prototypes, and even corresponding side effects.

"But right now, I can’t think of a specific way to verify this.

"Maybe it’s necessary to take some medication and observe the body’s reaction? Or perhaps, doctors and auditors have a special mechanism to distinguish and verify them?

"Anyway, my role is ’Sales’, so this isn’t something I should worry about.

"What I should focus on is how to leave a good impression on the auditors and sell these drugs."

Before entering the game, Ye Lin paid for 30,000 minutes of visa time, which was converted into 30,000 basic Medical Points. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

If she does nothing, at the end of the game, these Medical Points will just vanish into thin air, which means she would be losing 30,000 purely.

But if she exchanges all these Medical Points for drugs and sells them to other players, even if she doesn’t earn anything, she can convert them into 30,000 special Medical Points.

She can fully recover her costs when leaving the game.

On this basis, the more special Medical Points earned, the more visa time will be converted when leaving the game.

Therefore, Ye Lin decided not to dwell on the specific differences between these drugs for now, because without relevant professional knowledge, studying them is likely to be a futile effort.

She has more important things to do now, which is to memorize these drugs’ prices and suggested retail range as best as she can.

—There is no paper or pen in the room, nor any tools to help her remember, but if the price is wrong when selling, it might trigger a violation, leading to visa time penalties at the end of the game, so she must try hard to remember accurately.

Then, while trying hard to memorize, Ye Lin went to the vending machine and bought 2 bottles each of the four types of drugs.

In this way, she has a total of 12 bottles of drugs in hand, with a ’sample’ bottle of each type already opened, and the remaining 8 bottles are unopened goods.

She is going to try selling these drugs through auditors to doctors, and then to patients.

If a certain type of drug sells quickly and has a good demand, she will consider replenishing her stock.

The game was about to start, and Ye Lin sent requests to the rooms of two auditors, waiting patiently.

Ultimately, she didn’t choose to include Medical Points as a gift, not because she was reluctant to, but because she feared this action might backfire.

The roles of ’Sales’ and ’Patient’ are inherently different, after all.

If in this round of the game, both auditors do not accept her request, she would have to offer more money in the next round.

A moment later, Ye Lin heard a "beep" sound from the small screen next to the Auditor Room’s door in Zone A, and simultaneously, the door made a "click" sound as it unlocked.

This meant that the auditor in Zone A agreed to her meeting invitation.

Ye Lin tidied her appearance slightly, took the four types of drugs she had purchased from the vending machine, and stepped into the Auditor Room in Zone A.

...

"Hello."

Ye Lin greeted the player in the Auditor Room politely.

The female player across from her was a completely unfamiliar face, but every player wore a corresponding name tag on their chest.

[Community 23 - Shen Qingyun].

"Please sit."

Shen Qingyun pointed to the seat opposite her, but her cold attitude gave the impression that she wouldn’t be easy to get along with.

Moreover, for some reason, this attitude gave Ye Lin a strange sense of déjà vu, as if she had really encountered a doctor in a hospital who hadn’t had time to eat a single bite after consecutive hours of overtime.

Shen Qingyun looked to be around thirty, with a simple ponytail, a few strands of stray hair pushed back and held with her eyeglass frame, and the lenses in the metal frames seemed to have a high prescription.

Ye Lin looked around and found that the size of the Auditor Room was much smaller than the room where sales operated. According to the previous floor plan, it was only slightly larger than an ordinary patient’s room.

The Auditor Room had four doors leading to two ’Sales’ rooms and two ’Doctor’ rooms, and had a dedicated conference area, further compressing the overall space of the room.

The player acting as the ’Auditor’ was actually operating in a very narrow strip of space, even giving a sense of being very cramped.

Ye Lin contemplated how to start the conversation. In her experience, with players of the same gender, encounters in the game often resulted in polar opposite situations: they would either hit it off instantly, or be harder to communicate with than unfriendly male players.

However, the other party was quite direct, getting straight to the point: "You have drugs with you, right? Show me all of them."

Ye Lin hesitated slightly, but eventually took out all four kinds of drug samples from her pocket, which were the four bottles she had initially purchased and opened, placing them on the table all at once.

She didn’t want Shen Qingyun to have complete control of the meeting. If it were under other game mechanics, she might consider making certain moves to retain her initiative.

For example, not directly handing over the drugs, and talking about the game rules first; or not handing over all the drugs.

But she ultimately didn’t do so.

Because in this game, different roles have different authority, and the players’ statuses are inherently unequal.

The sales room only led to two different auditors. If she fell out with both auditors, it would be nearly impossible to do anything in the entire game.

Judging from the layout of the game rooms, ’Auditor’ can be said to be the most crucial link in the entire game, undoubtedly having the greatest advantage, directly severing the ’production end’ of sales from the ’consumption end’ of patients.

So, Ye Lin decided to temporarily lower her head and comply with the other party’s requests.

As long as the other party is willing to accept these drugs and find ways to pass them on to the patients, and earn back special Medical Points, then even if the final profit means the other party gets the lion’s share, it is still acceptable.

After all, this is the explicit rule of the game.

Shen Qingyun picked up the four white bottles on the table and frowned slightly.

However, she didn’t show much of a puzzled expression on her face; instead, she repeated the same action as Ye Lin.

—Pouring out the pills and observing them carefully in her palm.

Shen Qingyun fell into deep thought and didn’t speak for a long time.

Ye Lin didn’t ask anything, but she was very clearly aware of one thing: Shen Qingyun, unlike her, definitely had a specific professional knowledge background, and might even be a doctor. Furthermore, Shen Qingyun surely saw some information in these drugs that she didn’t know.

Otherwise, there was no reason for her to think for so long.

Unless she’s putting on a show, but under the current game rules, that would be meaningless.

Ye Lin now deeply wished she could encounter Qin Cheng in the game, but unfortunately, given the current situation, it seems unlikely to happen.
