Global Collapse

Chapter 264 Getting Rich: Gu Mianmian

The fat man has been taking cold medicine for the past few days, but his condition has not improved at all.

The cough and sneezing escalated into headache and fever, and then a runny nose started.

The ordinary medicines produced before the global game began have no effect whatsoever?

Gu Mian didn't dare to delay for too long. After three days of taking cold medicine without improvement, she directly gave the fat man the medicine called "Life Type D-Weak Resistance".

It can suppress a small portion of common viruses, but only has a slight effect in the early stages of viral infection.

Surprisingly, this stuff really worked. Less than half a day after taking the medicine, the fat man's symptoms started to stop, and after taking another pill the next day, he was completely cured.

Theoretically speaking, the fat man's cold should have reached the middle stage. A D-grade drug wouldn't be this effective. His recovery in two days was entirely due to Gu Mian's medical skills, which quadrupled the drug's efficacy and significantly enhanced the effect of the weaker drug.

After the fat man recovered, he started settling accounts.

She's still rambling on and on.

"One pill costs 100 points. A doctor's skill can increase the efficacy of the medicine by four times. It should be comparable to a C-grade medicine, right? I took a look before. A C-grade medicine in the supermarket costs at least 500 points. We can open a hospital, charge each patient 200 points, and provide them with medicine that has an efficacy of 500 points. Everyone will definitely stop going to the supermarket and come to us for treatment."

The fat man wasn't interested in anything else, but he was very enthusiastic about making money.

"And as you saw, doctor,"

"In this way, we can earn 100 points per patient, and with 30 patients, that's 3000 points. Patients won't have to spend 500 on medicine at the supermarket, saving them 300. It's a win-win situation for everyone!"

Being a doctor is indeed a lucrative profession.

No wonder Grade A medicines in supermarkets are so expensive; they're absolutely unaffordable for running dungeons. But if you had a profession that makes money, you could buy them in bulk.

Moreover, the current severe weather conditions are practically cheering on the medical profession.

To put it more precisely, it was practically cheering on Gu Mian, as if frantically urging her to take this opportunity to make as much money as possible.

This is not in line with the usual practices of this world!
Now, instead of assassinations, his life has become a tool for making money?

Something unusual must be going on, and Gu Mian has no interest in running a hospital. After all, he's still on the bounty list, and if he sees too many patients, someone might recognize him and turn around and kill him, which would be a huge loss for him.

“I’m not going to argue with you,” Gu Mian slapped the eager fat man away. “Let’s not talk about that now. If we’re going to open a hospital, we have to make sure I won’t die if I’m suddenly stabbed.”

Upon hearing this, the fat man also gave up his idea of ​​making a lot of money.

That's true. The doctor is still on the bounty list, and he can't improve his physical condition, so he could easily die.

He will definitely be remembered by many people in the future, so as a delicate doctor, Gu Mian should avoid having too much contact with others.

Don't let his fierce appearance in the dungeon fool you; once everyone's progress is made, Gu Mian might be easily defeated.

It's worth mentioning that Gu Mian and her group haven't had many conflicts with other players, except for the event. The group of thugs who tried to rob them at the beginning of the game don't count, because everyone hadn't improved their physical abilities by then.

I really don't know what the situation will be like for Gu Mian when she faces other players after the gap widens. Just thinking about it makes me shudder.

The fat man sighed, somewhat sadly: "Isn't there any way to improve the physical condition of doctors?" Chu Changge, standing next to him, pinched his forehead: "There might be."

Upon hearing this, the fat man paused for a moment, then looked at Chu Changge with anticipation.

Chu Changge took off his glasses and wiped them: "As far as I know, Gu Mian's physical fitness is naturally superior to that of ordinary people, especially in terms of stamina. So even if other players are improving while Gu Mian is stuck in the same place, he can still live off his past achievements for a while."

After all, not everyone is born with the ability to carry a chainsaw weighing over ten kilograms and chase ghosts around without even breaking a sweat.

The fat man has put almost all the attribute points he has gained into stamina, but he still can't do what Gu Mian has done, especially when it comes to chasing ghosts.

Perhaps this game should add a "courage" attribute?
"Moreover, attribute points are extremely hard to obtain in this game. Think about it, how many of the dungeons we've gone through actually give attribute points?"

The fat man couldn't remember anymore, but his panel was there, and it wasn't much different from the initial value.

"Compared to other players, Gu Mian lacks attributes, but there's no need to worry about that for now; he can still rely on his past strengths for a while longer..."

When Chu Changge got to this point, Gu Mian suddenly interjected, "And luck too."

Chu Changge: "..."

It's really unfair to only get one usable special item after opening more than a dozen boxes, so Gu Mian rarely plays gacha games that highlight his bad luck.

Chu Changge wiped his glasses and put them back on: "But even so, we can't ignore the attribute bonuses. As time goes by, the game improves, and players become more proficient in dungeons, attribute points will definitely be easier to obtain than they are now."

"However, Gu Mian can actually make up for the lack of attribute points in other ways."

The fat man looked at Chu Changge curiously: "How can you make up for it?"

Chu Changge shook his head: "I need to observe this for a while longer, so I won't tell you for now; and regarding physique, Gu Mian isn't entirely without a chance to improve."

Upon hearing this, Gu Mian nodded seriously: "That's right, if I run 20 kilometers every day carrying a 20-kilogram sandbag, my physique will definitely improve."

Chu Changge seemed to have a headache, and he pinched his forehead again: "That's not the method I was talking about."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Let's go into the dungeon."

What the heck? The fat man didn't react for a moment. He didn't quite understand why Chu Changge suddenly blurted out those four unimportant words while he was talking.

"The anomaly in Gu Mian's data must originate from this game, and this game is closely linked to dungeons. Currently, we cannot access the game data; the only way to access the game is to enter a dungeon. Only by entering a dungeon can we understand the cause of Gu Mian's data anomaly, and then find a solution based on the cause. If we're lucky, we might even find the solution directly within a dungeon."

Chu Changge put his hand down at this point: "And recently I seem to have discovered something that might be helpful to Gu Mian's matter..."

As he spoke, he put his hands behind his back and took out a string of tags.

The fat man recognized it at a glance; it was the tag hanging on the quilt he bought from the supermarket. He had cut it off a few days ago to throw it away, but Chu Changge had taken it.

Chu Changge held up the tag and said, "I've discovered something very interesting. Look at the place of origin on this tag."
