: Cursed Hospital (12)
In the end, Feng Bujue did not purchase the beer. After all the quest tab said it had to be an ‘ice-cold beer’, if he returned with a warm one, he might not complete the mission. Furthermore, even if he wanted to buy the beer and then directly go and finish the mission, he had to find a route that would take him back. The route that he took to come to the ground floor was one-directional and he was too weak to bounce back up the ‘corner’ so he had to find another way. Therefore, Brother Jue temporarily ignored the vending machine and moved his search somewhere else.
The hospital did not have a basement, the only space built underground was the blood bank so the location of the blood bank was also marked out on the first floor map. Feng Bujue had memorized the map and thus knew that well. He exited the northern side of the cafeteria and walked all the way to Block B. He rushed down the corridor and hurried to his destination. 3 minutes later, he arrived before a freight elevator. On the wall next to the elevator, a sign wrote, “Goes towards the underground blood bank.”
Brother Jue lifted his head to glance at the panel above the elevator, it was showing 1F. So he took half a step back, leaned against the side of the elevator door, grabbed the cleaver and pressed the button for the elevator. With a ding, the door opened and the elevator was empty. The walls and floor were heavy metallic in color, not the kind where they were reflective. The lighting above was working normal, on the surface… everything looked fine. For the sake of security, Feng Bujue took out the sunglasses and poked his head in to look, there was not even a ghost…
After confirming there was no danger, he walked into it. The elevator had two control panels and they were placed diagonally across from each other. There were normal buttons on the panels, like open the door, close the door, emergency button and soon. There were three floors in total, 2F, 1F and B1.
“Hmm… So this won’t take me to the third floor?” Feng Bujue didn’t press the button for B1 but pressed the button for 2F to try whether the elevator worked or not. The elevator door closed and it creaked noisily. Several seconds later, when the door opened, the words ‘2F’ appeared on the wall of the corridor beyond the door. Feng Bujue poked his head out to look around before he walked out. He walked down the corridor before he found a split in the road. He still remembered passing this way when he was chased by Chad but at the time, this split in the road did not exist.
Finding a familiar path, Brother Jue quickened his steps. Several minutes later, he returned to the junction where the map of the 2F was pasted.
“Very good, now I am mostly familiar with the layout of the two floors.” He stood for a few more seconds before the maps. This time it was not to make up the puzzle in his mind but to memorize it and to improve his impression of it. Brother Jue turned and left in less than 1 minute just in case he attracted Chad’s attention. Then he returned to the elevator that he arrived in, he wanted to check whether he could use this elevator to get to the third floor. To his surprise, when he pressed for the elevator, the system said, “This elevator is already broken, it can’t be used.”
“Hmm, okay.” Feng Bujue shrugged. With no other option, he could only walk back the way he came. He jogged all the way back to the elevator that was connected to the blood bank. After entering the elevator, Brother Jue still did not choose to go to the blood bank but rode it to the first floor and ran to the cafeteria. He used the coin to purchase an ice-cold beer from the vending machine. Wasting not one moment, while the beer was still cold, he quickly moved and rode the elevator back to the second floor. Then it was followed by a quick jog all the way to Room 216.
When he pushed the door open, he was panting like a dog.
“Hey, you found my key?” Victor was the first to ask.
…
“hah… hah…” Feng Bujue’s tongue was dangling from his mouth. He held the door to catch his breath. “Shush, it’s not your turn!” He replied with impatience before going back to catching his breath. Brother Jue was used to running at super high speed in game, now that he was back in a normal body, he felt like dying.
[Hmm… when I was chased by Chad, perhaps it was just a short job and due to adrenaline, I did not notice this…] Brother Jue concluded in his mind, [but after this long jog, it has become obvious… Leicester is so physical weak. His physique is even worse than me in real life.]
“In any case, he still hasn’t obtained the two bags of Type b blood that I want.” The count commented. “There is no smell of blood.”
“Then what have taken you so long?” Victor shrugged before he turned to Brother Jue, “Time is money, you know?”
Feng Bujue ignored him. After he settled himself, he strode forward to Mr. Harbert’s side and handed him the quest item. “Mr. Harbert, your ice cold beer.”
Hearing that, Harbert raising his shivering arm to reach for the beer. When his hands closed around the can… he suddenly moved like lighting, as fast as he was when he first reached out to grab Brother Jue’s wrist. Harbert flipped open the can with one hand and then opened his mouth and with a gulp… finished the whole can.
“Ah…” The old man sighed with satisfaction, “burp…” And followed it with a burp.
Feng Bujue stood next to the bed and waited… When he handed over the beer, he turned to the quest menu and confirmed that the side mission for this quest had been ticked.
“Thank you, young man.” After some time, Harbert finally said. For that few seconds, Brother Jue really suspected he won’t give him any reward.
“ha ha…” Feng Bujue laughed, of course, that was all, he was not that kind to say, “this was what I am supposed to do” to scam himself.
“here, a reward for you.” Harbert pulled out a key from under his pillow and handed it to Brother Jue.
[Another one of these?] Now when Feng Bujue saw a key, he wanted to poke. After he accepted this ‘reward’, he studied it.
Name: Key to Hospital director’s Room
Type: Plot Item
Quality: Normal
Function: Open the doors to the Hospital director’s room
Whether it can be taken out of the room: No
Remark: You should help an old man with his wish.
“Ah… If I can save in this game, I would hug Oink’s leg and beg him to help me chop Chad into pieces and I’ll find a quiet corner and sleep through the night…” After reading the remark, Feng Bujue grumbled under his breath. “Hmm… The director’s room should be on the third floor right…” Feng Bujue mumbled as he pocketed the key.
“Yes.” To his surprise, Mr. Harbert answered. “His room is facing south on the third floor.”
“Oh…” When Feng Bujue heard that, he thought he had triggered another quest so he asked, “You did not require anything from me, do you?” But he was overthinking it, Harbert soon replied with, “The beer was nice…’
[Qie…] Feng bujue thought. [So it was just a hint of the location…]
“Current quest completed, main quest updated,” At that moment, the system rang out.
Brother Jue was stunned. “Main quest updated?” He quickly opened the menu and tapped into the quest tab. And saw…. The original main quest, ‘Stay at your post and survive until dawn’ had been crossed off and now replaced with ‘defeat the hospital director and escape from the hospital.’
