MTLNOVEL Chapter 4: Yuanxin Clinic (4)
Seeing the old man suddenly collapse to the ground, the other players panicked.
The guy with glasses didn’t move, as he strictly remembered the sixth rule from the code of instructions:
Doctors cannot leave the counter during patient reception!
“What should we do?”
“Maybe… go check on him?”
The two nurses exchanged glances, and the one with short hair, somewhat hesitantly, asked while looking at the counter where Bai Lian was.
Clearly, she wasn’t sure if this was the right move.
Meanwhile, Bai Lian had demonstrated the strongest abilities among all the players, so they could only rely on him.
Bai Lian glanced at the clock. There were still a few minutes left until two o’clock.
“You two, lift him up.”“If something goes wrong, I’ll step in.”
He said this to the two nurses.
In reality…
Bai Lian didn’t have the ability to fight anomalies.
He didn’t want to leave the counter.
All he could do was deceive these two nurses.
Hearing Bai Lian’s words, the nurses still felt doubtful.
But in the end, it seemed they made a decision.
The short-haired nurse stepped forward.
She glanced at the anomaly on the floor.
With anxiety in her heart, she suppressed her fear and lifted him up.
“C-comrade, what should we do next?” she asked, her voice trembling. She was truly frightened.
The cold aura emanating from the anomaly almost constantly pierced through her body.
“Put him on the counter, and everything will be fine,” Bai Lian said.
The nurse nodded, laid the old man down on the counter, and then hurried back to the medicine cabinet.
The next moment, the old man, who had been unconscious, suddenly woke up.
It seemed his plan hadn’t worked, and his face turned grim.
“Grandpa, you’re awake?” Bai Lian asked with a smile.
“May I ask how old you were before you died?”
The old man didn’t answer his question but instead let out an ominous laugh.
“Hehehe~ Young man, I have a way to help you pass this level. Want to?”
Hearing this, the other three players perked up.
However, Bai Lian didn’t react and continued asking, “How old were you before you died?”
Seeing that he wasn’t falling for the bait, the old man snorted.
“Before I died, I was 52 years old!”
“What’s the problem?”
“My chest hurts!”
Bai Lian nodded, took out his stethoscope, and after conducting the examination, he wrote the diagnosis in the medical chart and handed it to the old man. 𝑅₳ΝÓВЕṠ
“Go to the nurse for your medicine.”
Second patient, done!
[Task Progress: 40%]
Only three more patients, and the task would be complete.
Bai Lian smiled slightly, feeling that this beginner level wasn’t as difficult as he thought.
After finishing the reception, he disinfected his hands with alcohol.
At that moment.
The guy with glasses, standing behind him, spoke up.
“Hey, brother, can I take the next patient?”
He nervously glanced at Bai Lian as he asked.
He had the same task as Bai Lian.
He also needed to accept five patients.
Seeing that Bai Lian had already accepted two, while he himself hadn’t even started, he began to worry.
Bai Lian looked at him and shook his head.
“No.”
What kind of joke was this?
He wasn’t a charity organization.
Why should he give away his progress?
Moreover, when this guy first entered, he immediately took the seat at the end.
Clearly, he wanted Bai Lian to take the hit for him.
Now that the danger had passed…
Did he think he could just get his share for free?
Let him play in his corner!
The guy with glasses darkened slightly: “Brother, we’re all players. In the dungeon, we need to help each other.”
“After all, we agreed on this initially, and now when I ask you to pass me a patient, you refuse. Isn’t that a bit too much?”
Bai Lian looked at him like he was an idiot and turned away, paying him no more attention.
You want to morally blackmail me?
Sorry, but I have no morals.
【This guy is just funny, trying to play moral blackmail in a dungeon?】
【Not to mention other players, even if they’re brothers who end up in the same dungeon, they might stab you in the back for profit!】
【Exactly, only the tough survive in the dungeon. Virtue has long been dead.】
【I like this guy. He might become a new powerful player!】
…
Seeing that Bai Lian was ignoring him, the guy with glasses grew even darker.
Time passed, and the sun began to set.
The third patient still hadn’t arrived.
According to the rules, the players had to go to sleep when it got dark.
And there were two places to sleep.
One was the two beds in the hospital ward.
The other was the staff room.
The guy with glasses was the first to stand up. He approached the slightly plump nurse and whispered something to her.
Then he glanced at Bai Lian, took a deep breath, and went into the staff room, closing the door behind him.
The plump nurse looked at Bai Lian, then in the room where the guy with glasses had entered, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.
“What’s wrong?”
The short-haired nurse noticed her concern and asked in confusion.
“That guy watched the 'Source of Happiness' streams and said that the seventh and tenth rules mentioned in the nurses’ code are actually true.”
When the short-haired nurse heard this, she frowned slightly.
Turning her head to the room where the guy with glasses had entered, she sighed deeply: “He’s already gone in, so he’s probably not lying.”
No one would risk their life for a joke.
If the guy with glasses was willing to test his fate, it was most likely true.
Bai Lian had misunderstood the situation from the beginning.
“What else did he tell you?” the short-haired nurse asked again.
After all, there’s no such thing as a free lunch in the world.
The guy with glasses, having shared the information with the plump nurse, must have set other conditions.
The plump nurse nodded, glancing at Bai Lian, and quietly said, “He agreed to help me complete the task, but on the condition that we don’t let that person into our dormitory tonight.”
There were only two staff rooms in the clinic.
The guy with glasses had already taken one.
If the nurse didn’t open the door to their room for Bai Lian, he would have to sleep on the hospital bed.
And sleeping on the bed meant following the fake rules.
If Bai Lian didn’t get into the dormitory, he would definitely die tonight!
“Shouldn’t we let him into our room?” the plump nurse asked uncertainly.
The short-haired nurse shook her head.
There were only two beds in the room, and even if it was cramped, they could make space.
But she didn’t trust the other players.
Not even the plump nurse, deep down.
Thinking about this, the short-haired nurse approached Bai Lian and said, “Big brother, the seventh and tenth rules are false.”
Because of Bai Lian, she had already completed two tasks.
Although she couldn’t help, she could at least warn him.
Bai Lian looked at her in surprise, then calmly nodded: “Thank you!”
“Don’t you think you should find a way to get into the dormitory?” the short-haired nurse asked in surprise, noticing his calmness.
“Why would I need to go to the dormitory? Or maybe I’m already fated not to die, so even if I break the rules, what of it?” Bai Lian smiled faintly.
The short-haired nurse was shocked: “You can revive?”
“Did I ever say I couldn’t?”
“I don’t believe it! I’ve never heard of such a powerful random skill in a dungeon!” The short-haired nurse came to her senses and shook her head.
Reviving once was already incredible.
But to keep reviving?
How is that possible in this strange world?
