Chapter 22: You’re on Fire!
“…There is currently a vacant position in the inpatient department of the Sixth Hospital. We are actively seeking applications for a ward nurse. Gender, age, and professional background are not important as we eagerly
It seemed that St. Elizabeth’s Psychiatric Hospital had a distinguished reputation. Unfortunately, Yu Xiao had no desire to die; otherwise, pursuing a peaceful directorial role might have held a promising future.
Contemplating this, she couldn’t help but sigh. Even if she were to leave the virtual realm one day and return to reality, the chances of attaining a director’s position in her lifetime seemed bleak.
A sudden melancholy overcame her…
Despite being full after the meal, the trio hadn’t managed to finish all the dishes.
With a full stomach, Yu Xiao prepared to draw talismans. Understanding that mental activities consumed substantial energy, she aimed to create talismans to aid digestion. Zhou Xiao Zhen, believing that sleep was the quickest path to digestion, chose to recline. Meanwhile, Zhao Lan, showing no inclination to waste time, delved into the forums of the Fourth Hospital.
Each of them had a purpose, and the future seemed promising for all.
Ever since Yu Xiao’s fortune reached its peak, her skill in crafting talismans skyrocketed, rarely encountering failure. In less than thirty minutes, she had already made numerous “Thunder Striking Ghost Repelling Talismans.” Despite the effectiveness of these talismans, she felt the need for a creative change.
“Smiley!” Zhao Lan, immersed in browsing the forum, suddenly exclaimed, “You’re trending!”
Yu Xiao: “?”
Surprised, Zhou Xiao Zhen asked, “What’s hot?”
“Smiley Hot! She’ve become famous!”” Zhao Lan said excitedly. “There are numerous posts about you on the forum.”
“Ah?” Yu Xiao looked confused. “Let me take a look.”
Zhou Xiao Zhen: “I want to see too!”
The trio gathered on a single bed, heads close together, eagerly reading the forum.
The first post Yu Xiao came across had the title: 【Regarding the Newcomer from the Sixth Institute, I Have Something to Share!】
【Post 1 OP: I’ve read several forum posts about the newcomer from the Sixth Institute, but let me emphasise that for those unfamiliar with St. Elizabeth, they can’t understand the true horror of this situation.】
【Post 2: First, let me clarify that although I’m not one of the top ten experts on the leaderboard, I managed to secure a spot in the top twenty through my own efforts and have some experience with therapy dungeons. Today, I’m here to discuss St. Elizabeth, officially known as St. Elizabeth’s Psychiatric Hospital. I entered this dungeon three months ago, and on that occasion, ten of us went in, but only three came out alive.】
【Post 3: The Top Players in the First Twenty Levels, No Doubt.】
【Post 4 =.=: Observing the Heavyweights!】
【Post 5 OP: Let me spill the beans about this level—it’s a complete mess! An absolute disaster, and I mean it. This level has the most chaos I’ve ever experienced, especially thanks to that head doc, George. He’s a top-tier jerk who messed with us right from the start. I still can’t let that slide. If the rules allowed hitting the attending doctor, I’d have taken him down for sure. He’s just a scum, a piece of trash @#￥％……&*】
【Post 6 JadeIsCool: OP, you’re getting too worked up.】
【Post 7^-^: Big dog, chill out.】
【…】
【Post 19 OP: Apologies for getting carried away earlier. Let’s get back on track. When we entered the level, George announced a test. Each patient had to share why they ended up at St. Elizabeth’s. The first patient he picked was a player who thought this was a real mental hospital, so they spun a story about going crazy.
Turns out, that was dead wrong. The real deal is you end up in St. Elizabeth’s when you’re dead. We should’ve faked a cause of death, not a crazy story. Four players in a row fell for it and immediately revealed that they were human…】
