Huang Shengjie originally wanted to push the door open and enter the lounge, but this strange feeling gradually intensified, even making it difficult for him to move.
The more he endured, the stronger this terrible feeling beca.
Moreover, all the negative emotions in him seed to be constantly magnified, and the hunger that had almost disappeared after taking the O-class dication resurfaced.
Unknowingly, Huang Shengjie sat on the ground, shivering and curling up in a ball, and it took him a long ti to recover.
Because he didn’t take the dication to relieve the pain, by the ti Huang Shengjie reacted, the ti to open the door had already passed.
Fortunately, Huang Shengjie had enough dication on hand, so missing a round of entering the lounge wasn’t too much of an issue.
That unpleasant feeling subsided a little, but the suppressed sense of hunger made a coback once again.
"So hungry...
"Maybe I should eat a little sothing to fill the stomach.
"Eating a little sothing should be fine."
Huang Shengjie managed to stand up and walked to the vending machine to check.
Typically, even in longer gas, most players wouldn’t buy too much food.
Partly because of the cost, and partly because they fear that consuming too many carbohydrates would slow their reaction ti and dull their thinking.
After all, no matter how long the ga is, it’s at most four or five hours, and enduring it isn’t a big problem.
But this ti, the situation was different.
The food and drinks in the ga were very cheap, even cheaper than in the community, and perhaps due to enduring pain, physical energy was consud rapidly.
So having a little sothing to replenish energy and shift focus is a natural thought.
"Just a small bite is fine."
After so consideration, Huang Shengjie didn’t choose those seemingly sumptuous dishes or rice bowls, nor did he choose other full als.
He only selected a small bowl of instant noodles and a small piece of cream bread to curb his hunger.
Soon, steaming instant noodles appeared at the collection port below the vending machine, filling the room with a wonderful aroma.
Originally, Huang Shengjie didn’t feel that hungry, but now he couldn’t resist anymore and quickly picked up the chopsticks next to the instant noodles to eat voraciously.
Before long, both the instant noodles and bread were finished.
But the hunger in Huang Shengjie didn’t just vanish; instead, it beca even more intense.
Truth be told, this hunger wasn’t entirely from his stomach; it felt more like it ca from deep within his soul.
As if there was a huge void that couldn’t be filled no matter what.
Huang Shengjie felt extrely unhappy, thinking, after enduring so long and so much pain in this terrible place, was he only allowed a small bowl of instant noodles?
Didn’t he deserve to enjoy normal food?
They were even cheaper than the prices in the community.
Pills couldn’t be taken too much, but what harm was there in food? These foods themselves surely wouldn’t have any side effects, after all, the ga rules didn’t ntion it, and imitators couldn’t possibly break the fundantal rules of Walkway by poisoning or setting traps in these foods.
Anyway, the ti to et other players had long passed, so staying in the room during this round of the ga for ten minutes would be as good a ti as any to forget everything and have a proper al.
Almost driven by instinct, Huang Shengjie bought another portion of fried chicken and an alcoholic drink from the vending machine.
Afterward, he didn’t even bother with the disposable gloves that ca with it and directly grabbed the fried chicken, devouring it voraciously.
...
Just like that, the ti for one round of the ga quickly passed.
Unbeknownst to him, that unpleasant feeling had already vanished, but Huang Shengjie continued eating and drinking.
When he ca to his senses, he only felt his stomach was full, like it was about to burst, and all the food seed to be stuffed up to his throat, almost ready to spill over.
It was only then that he realized he was completely overstuffed.
He looked at the assorted foods on the coffee table, which he had devoured leaving hardly anything remaining, a quantity that even shocked him a little.
Unknowingly, he had eaten a lot.
Just then, he felt the pain co over him once again!
This pain was still the ordinary pain, which normally wouldn’t have been a big deal.
Originally, Huang Shengjie intended to take an I-class dication, but under the effect of pain, he suddenly felt his stomach churning and rushed to the bathroom to throw up.
Pain, hunger, depression... all the negative emotions surged back into his heart.
Relying on instinct, Huang Shengjie grabbed an I-class dication, swallowed it down, and covered his mouth, forcing himself not to vomit again.
Thankfully, the dication worked quickly, and Huang Shengjie sat on the bathroom floor leaning against the wall, gasping for breath.
But soon, that feeling of pain like ants crawling all over his body reappeared, and Huang Shengjie’s mood plumted once more.
He resisted the urge to take another O-class dication, struggling to stand up, press the flush button on the toilet, then went to the sink to wash his face, rubbing it vigorously.
Afterward, he looked at himself in the mirror, feeling lost and suddenly regretting his earlier actions.
"No, I shouldn’t have binged...
"Is it because my appetite was magnified?
"Or did the pain weaken my willpower, making it impossible to suppress this desire?"
It was obvious that binging didn’t fill that void, but only made the situation worse.
...
Huang Shengjie pushed the door open and entered the lounge, the other players also entered one after another.
He noticed that Zhou Xiaoying also showed signs of discomfort.
But unlike Huang Shengjie, Zhou Xiaoying chose not to endure and directly took out another piece of dication from a bottle, imdiately swallowing it.
After taking out the last piece of dication, the bottle was already empty.
Zhou Xiaoying didn’t choose to throw away the empty bottle, instead, she put it back into her pocket, as there might be a situation of trading dication by the piece later on, and an empty bottle could still serve as a container.
Nevertheless, this also indicated that Zhou Xiaoying had taken more O-class dication than Huang Shengjie.
Zhou Xiaoying also noticed Huang Shengjie’s abnormal state.
Huang Shengjie hadn’t appeared in the lounge in the previous ga, and at this mont, he looked pale, his body trembling, and cold sweat constantly seeping from his forehead.
This reaction was even more severe than just experiencing special pain.
Because special pain vanishes completely at the start of a new ga, even though it hurts at the ti, players can gradually recover.
However, Huang Shengjie was enduring real pain at this mont.
Zhou Xiaoying was a bit surprised and approached to ask, "What’s wrong with you? Have you been chosen as an infected again? Don’t you have special dication with you?
"Just take the dication? Don’t endure it stubbornly."
Seeing Zhou Xiaoying’s condition, Huang Shengjie was finally certain that the problem lay with the O-class dication.
Clearly, this pain like ants crawling wasn’t part of the ga’s ’ordinary pain’ or ’special pain’ rules.
It was a side effect of the O-class dication.
More precisely, it perfectly fit the definition of ’drug addiction’, being ’withdrawal pain’.
"Stop taking the dication.
"Haven’t you realized yet? O-class dication has an addictive effect!
"The ga’s rules only encompass ordinary pain and special pain, which is felt during a random one-minute period in the last two minutes of each ga round.
"Apart from that, the pain and discomfort you’re feeling isn’t part of the ga chanism but rather a side effect of the dication!
"Taking more dication may temporarily solve the problem, but it will only worsen the pain because this isn’t just pain, it’s an effect of drug addiction!"
Zhou Xiaoying was stunned. Apparently, she hadn’t thought this far before, simply taking the stabbing pain as an extension of so ga chanism pain, resolving it by taking dication.
After all, a pill wasn’t expensive, and once taken, it imdiately eliminated all pain, even improving her spirits and clearing her mind.
The two of them simultaneously looked at Qian Li.
However, Qian Li’s expression remained unchanged, completely without any reaction.
"Why are you looking at ? I’m an infected too, I’ve taken the dication as well."
