In the end, Feng Bujue still did not manage to buy the beer.
After all, the mission tab clearly stated that it was iced beer. If he brought a warm one back, he might not be able to complete the mission.
Furthermore, even if he wanted to buy the beer and send it back to complete the mission, there had to be a way out. The corridor that he took to get to the first floor was no doubt one-way. With his current fitness level, he could not jump back, so he had to find another way out.
Therefore, Brother Jue did not touch the vending machine for the time being. Instead, he chose to investigate elsewhere.
The hospital did not have a basement. The only facility that was built underground was the blood bank. Therefore, the location of the blood bank was marked on the 1F map.
Feng Bujue had memorized the map before, so he knew where it was. He left from the north side of the cafeteria and entered Block B on the first floor. He walked quickly down the corridor and headed straight for his destination. Three minutes later, he reached the door of a freight elevator. On the wall next to the elevator door, there was a line of words: Lead to the underground blood bank.
Brother Jue raised his head to look at the floor sign above the elevator. It showed 1F. Therefore, he took half a step back and turned sideways to face the elevator door. He held the cleaver in one hand and pressed the elevator button with the other.
With a ding, the door opened. There was no one inside. The walls and floor of the elevator were heavy metal. It was not the kind of material that could be used as a mirror. The lighting on the ceiling was working normally as well. At first glance, there did not seem to be anything out of the ordinary.
For the sake of caution, Feng Bujue quickly took out his sunglasses and poked his head in to take a closer look. It looked like there was not even a ghost …
After confirming that it was safe, he walked in.
There were two control panels in the elevator, and they were located at opposite corners. The control panel had the usual buttons such as open door, close door, emergency stop, and so on. There were a total of three floor buttons, namely "2F", "1F", and "B1".
"Hmm … Can't I go to 3F?" Feng Bujue did not press the B1 button. Instead, he pressed 2F to see if he could go up.
The elevator door closed, and there was a rumbling sound. Several seconds later, when the door opened again, the words' 2F 'appeared on the wall outside the door.
Feng Bujue poked his head out to look around before walking out of the elevator. He walked along the corridor for a while and soon found a fork in the road. He still remembered that he had passed by this intersection when he was being chased by Chad, but he didn't turn at that time.
After finding the old path, Brother Jue quickened his pace. A few minutes later, he returned to the T-junction with the 2F map.
"Very good. In this case, the terrain of the first and second floors should be more or less clear." He stood in front of the map and looked at it for a few seconds. This time, he wasn't trying to do a puzzle in his mind. Instead, he was trying to remember and deepen his impression.
In less than a minute, Brother Jue turned around and left to avoid attracting Chad's attention.
Then, he returned to the elevator that he had taken at the start of the scenario. He wanted to see if this elevator could take him to the third floor. But to his surprise … when he pressed the button, he got this message from the system. "This elevator has malfunctioned and cannot be used."
"Hmm … Okay." Feng Bujue shrugged.
With no other choice, he retraced his steps and jogged back to the elevator that was connected to the blood bank.
Entering the elevator, Brother Jue still did not choose to go to the blood bank. Instead, he took the elevator to the first floor and ran back to the restaurant. He used the coins in his pocket to buy a can of cold beer from the vending machine.
He did not dare waste any time. While the beer was still cold, he moved quickly. He took the elevator to the second floor and ran down the corridor until he reached Room 216.
When he pushed the door open, he was gasping for air.
"Hey, have you found my key?" Victor was the first to ask Brother Jue.
"Hah … Hah …" Feng Bujue's tongue was dangling out from his lips. He leaned against the door frame and gasped for air. "Stop wasting my breath!" he growled impatiently and then continued to pant …
Brother Jue was used to running at high speed in the game. Now that he had been running for a while in Lester's body, he felt like he was going to die.
"Hmm … When I was being chased by Chad earlier, I didn't notice it because I didn't run for long and the situation was urgent …" Brother Jue thought to himself. "Now that I've been running for such a long time, it's obvious … This kid, Lester's stamina is too weak. His physique is even weaker than mine in real life, right?"
"In any case, he still hasn't gotten the two packs of Type B blood that I need." The Duke in the bed next to him added, "I don't smell any blood."
"What have you been doing all this time?" Victor shrugged and turned to ask Brother Jue, "Do you know that time is money?"
Feng Bujue ignored him. After he caught his breath, he walked up to Mr. Harper's bedside and handed him the mission item. "Iced beer, Mr. Harper."
Hearing this, Harper raised an arm shakily and extended it in the direction of the beer. But the moment he took the can … his movement was as fast as lightning, just like when he grabbed Brother Jue's wrist.
Harper opened the can of cold beer with one hand, opened his mouth, and gulped it down in one gulp.
"Ah …" The old man let out a long sigh of relief. "Burp …" He burped again.
Feng Bujue stood beside the bed, watching and waiting silently. When he passed the beer to Harper, he switched to the game menu and confirmed that the side mission had been ticked off.
"Thank you, young man." After a while, Harper finally said, "Thank you."
For a few seconds, Brother Jue really suspected that the man was not going to give him the reward.
"Haha …" Feng Bujue chuckled. Of course, it was just a chuckle. He would not say something like, "This is what I should do."
"Here, this is my thank you gift." Harper took out a key from under his pillow and handed it to Brother Jue.
"Again?" Feng Bujue wanted to vomit when he saw the key. He accepted the so-called 'reward' and studied it closely.
Item Name: Key to the Director's Room
Item Type: Plot Item
Quality: Normal
Function: Open the door to the Director's Room
Can be taken out of the scenario: No
Remark: Running an errand for an old man is what you should do.
"Ah … If this game could load, I would have hugged Oink's leg and begged him to help me kill Chad. Then I would have found a random corner in the corridor to lie down for the whole night …" Feng Bujue read the item description and grumbled under his breath.
"By the way … the Director's Room should be on the third floor, right?" Feng Bujue mumbled as he pocketed the key.
"Yes," Mr. Harper replied. "The Director's Room is on the southern side of the third floor."
"Oh …" When Feng Bujue heard that, he thought that he had triggered another mission, so he added, "Since you're giving me this key, do you need me to go to the Director's Room to do something for you?"
Unfortunately, he was overthinking. Harper's reply soon changed to, "The beer is so delicious …"
"Tsk …" Feng Bujue scoffed. "You're just giving me a hint about the location of the Director's Room?"
"Current quest has been changed. Main quest has been updated." At that moment, the system announced.
Brother Jue was stunned. "The main quest has been changed?"
He quickly opened the menu and looked at the quest tab. The original main quest, Stay at your job and survive until dawn, had been crossed out and replaced with a new instruction. "Defeat the Director and escape from the hospital."
"Ha!" Feng Bujue looked at this line of words and immediately laughed. He felt like he had taken the initiative.
"What are you laughing at? Go find my key. "Victor's high-pitched voice started to chatter again.
"You're talking about this?" Feng Bujue smiled mysteriously. He took out Victor's Key from his pocket and waved it at the man.
"Ah! Yes! Give it to me. "Victor reached out his hands like a child asking for a toy.
"Humph …" Brother Jue scoffed. "I know your secret … You despicable opportunist …" He casually walked toward the door just in case. "Erguotou … is it? Ha … It's cheap to make, but it's a huge threat to the alcohol-loving races. "
"Are you trying to blackmail me?" Victor was indeed a goblin. He was very perceptive in this aspect.
"If I were you …" Feng Bujue did not answer the question directly. Instead, he said, "When I obtain a unique resource that can make me rich … I'll spend a lot of money to hire a powerful magician to add an indestructible magical barrier to my wine cellar." As he spoke, he waved the key twice. "Only a unique magical key can open the door. And this key, I'll carry it with me." He paused and looked at Victor aggressively. "In other words … I don't have a key in my hand. I have your entire stock of Erguotou and the recipe to brew this wine."
These words … were not based on any evidence. In fact, Brother Jue guessed it from the remarks of Bloodcorpses Must Die and Victor's Key, as well as the settings of the monster kingdom.
But … he seemed to have guessed correctly.
"You scoundrel! You win! What do you want? "Victor actually acquiesced.
Hearing that, Feng Bujue was overjoyed, but on the surface, he still asked probingly, "What do you have?"
"I have the Teleport Stone to the third floor of the hospital," Victor replied.
"Ha?" Feng Bujue was taken aback. After a second, he understood that the Teleport Stone must be the reward of the Side Mission. "What else?"
"Money," Victor replied. "Do you want anything else?" His expression changed slightly. "Speaking of which … I have a niece. She said that she doesn't mind marrying another race …"
"Equipment! Equipment, equipment, equipment, equipment! "Feng Bujue roared.
"Are you crazy?" Victor replied. "How can I have equipment? I'm in the business of reselling. When I get the item, I'll find the buyer and sell it in less than half a day. I only have money with me. I don't keep any stolen goods … Oh, no, I mean goods. "
"What's the use of money!" Feng Bujue roared. He was right. Just like the note on the coin said, the money of the Monster Kingdom was a very unreliable currency.
"Okay! You want 'things', right? " Victor said as he took out two items from his bedside table and handed them over with both hands. "I only have 'this' and the Teleport Stone. Do you want to trade?"
"Tsk … After all this time, you just want to take one more item …" Feng Bujue said. "Forget it … It's better than nothing."
"Trade, of course," Feng Bujue replied without hesitation. "I have no use for your key." He said as he took two steps forward and exchanged the items in his hands with Victor.
"Hmph! You scoundrel! I'll complain to you! "Victor grumbled and put the key into his pocket.
The Earl laughed at Victor's misfortune. "Haha, you profiteer. This is retribution."
Then, the two of them started to quarrel once again ….
Feng Bujue, after reading the description of the two items in his hands, walked out of the room.
Before going to the third floor, he still had one more side mission to do. Since the other mission lines had pointed to the same target — the dean, then the reward he got from the Earl should also be related to completing the main mission. He could not let it go.
