Ye Lin scrutinized Xu Yiheng from head to toe. Instead of continuing her reproach or demanding anything else, she shifted the topic.
"I guess these two doctors might have more important reasons. If they were simply trying to earn more visa ti, they wouldn’t be doing this.
"So...
"I don’t accept this condition. If you still insist, then I can only stop selling you any dication.
"Unless you give a reasonable explanation.
"’Morality’ and ’profit’—at least one of these needs to be accounted for."
Xu Yiheng’s expression was a bit hesitant. He pondered for a long ti before finally making up his mind.
"Alright, then I’ll be honest with you.
"In fact, the doctors advised that I shouldn’t tell you about these matters. But you were indeed sincere, stating the prices of these dicines clearly from the start. This shows you’re also inclined towards being honest and cooperative.
"Continuing to keep this from you indeed feels sowhat unfair.
"These five dicines correspond to five different real-world prototypes, which can be identified using the initials on the bottle and the molecular formulas on the pills.
"They are Ibuprofen, Codeine, Morphine, OxyContin, and Fentanyl respectively.
"OxyContin and Fentanyl have strong side effects and pose a risk of addiction.
"So, as much as possible, these two dications shouldn’t be allowed to flow into the general patient population."
As Xu Yiheng spoke, he took out samples to show Ye Lin.
Ye Lin carefully examined the pills. At a specific light angle, she could indeed see the incomplete molecular formulas engraved on them.
She didn’t possess the relevant expertise, so she couldn’t verify if the molecular formulas matched the specific drugs, but at least the initials and the prototype nas of the dications were corresponding.
Just like M stands for Morphine, and F for Fentanyl.
If Xu Yiheng insisted that F stands for Morphine and M for Fentanyl, Ye Lin would certainly doubt the truth of these claims.
But now, since the initials and the prototype nas match perfectly, Ye Lin judged that the likelihood of Xu Yiheng deceiving her was not high.
Ye Lin thought for a mont and asked, "But... OxyContin and Fentanyl can also be used as prescription dications, right?
"As long as doctors don’t over-prescribe to patients, giving only three pills at a ti to ensure lethal pain is treated, it should be fine.
"There might not be any particularly severe consequences.
"And the benefit of doing this is that we can obtain the dication at a lower price. Our profit margins will increase."
Xu Yiheng imdiately grasped Ye Lin’s point.
The procurent price for M-type drugs is 1000, while O-type drugs cost only 100.
If you consider the chain of sales-auditor-doctor-patient as a whole, then for a pill bought from a vending machine until it’s taken by a patient, the forr actually consus ten tis the dical points of the latter.
Using O-type dication can achieve ’patients spend less, sales earn more.’
After all, these dical points will ultimately be consud by the vending machine.
Xu Yiheng sighed: "Of course, I’ve brought up this issue before.
"But both doctors believe it’s best not to do this.
"Precisely because O-type drugs and F-type drugs are cheap, one shouldn’t buy them in bulk.
"Because once you have a large stockpile, it’s hard to resist the temptation and you subconsciously want to sell them all for extra profit.
"Human nature can’t withstand such tests.
"So the best way is to cut it off at the sales-to-auditor stage."
Ye Lin frowned slightly: "The doctors don’t want to take on this responsibility themselves, and instead, they pass it on to you?
"And what about you? What do you think?"
Xu Yiheng paused: "? I... I don’t really have a clear idea.
"I’ve already obtained a list of six patients from the two doctors. There are no players from my own Community in this area, so I have no vested interest in these patients.
"If the drugs are already rampant and everyone’s earning dical points, then I have no reason to stay aloof; that would be pointless.
"But if the drugs aren’t rampant yet and they beco so because of my actions... then I would feel guilty."
Ye Lin considered for a mont: "Who is the VIP patient closer to Zone A? What’s their na?"
Xu Yiheng paused but didn’t ask much, just answered truthfully: "It seems to be a player from Community 14, nad Tan Minglei."
Ye Lin nodded: "Understood. Thank you for your honesty.
"I’ll seriously consider your suggestion and try to bring more dicine next ti.
"In any case, I hope we can continue to cooperate until the end."
Xu Yiheng nodded: "Alright, thank you!"
...
Back in her room, Ye Lin, as always, swallowed a C-type pill when the pain ca.
Then, she stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, silently observing the situation outside.
The room where the sales are located has a corner floor-to-ceiling window extending into the atrium, so it offers the best view, simultaneously allowing her to see Zone A and Zone B’s auditors, doctors, and patients.
Zone A’s Auditor Shen Qingyun still sat in the cramped space of the audit room. Having likely taken dication and not suffering from pain, his thoughts were unknown.
The doctors and VIP patients in Zone A also seed normal, at least having taken the basic I-type dication.
Zone B’s auditor, Xu Yiheng, was staring outside in a daze, his expression sowhat confused.
Zone B’s doctor didn’t seem to be suffering from severe pain, pacing the room, his thoughts a mystery.
Among these people, the only one in bad shape was the VIP patient in Zone B.
Previously, Ye Lin had specifically asked, and he was a player from Community 14 nad Tan Minglei.
Ye Lin rembered he was one of the first players selected as ’Infected’; last ti, he took a common I-type dication, but it wasn’t effective, and he was still curled up in pain on the sofa.
It’s the sa this ti.
Ye Lin fell into a brief thought, then walked to the vending machine in the room, navigated to a special page, and prepared to initiate a call.
"Zone B, Tan Minglei."
Ye Lin didn’t know the specific characters, but fortunately, the ga chanism didn’t require manual input. A correct voice input sufficed.
According to the ga rules, there are two different functions on the special page, ’Call’ and ’Monitor.’
’Call’ requires specific region and na, costing 1000 dical points, limited to once per ga round, but there’s no ti limit. Players can complete the call within a minute, then proceed to et other players in the next round.
’Monitor’ doesn’t require specific region and na, allowing direct selection of a room on the map, costing 2000 dical points, and once used, players cannot open any doors to et others during that ga round.
Now, Ye Lin was using the ’Call’ function.
She paid the dical points and then patiently waited while looking through the floor-to-ceiling window towards Tan Minglei’s VIP room.
