I Am That Medical Kit

"If you say that again, Lu Xun's coffin lid won't be able to hold him down." Gu Mian turned his head.

After crawling up the stairs for a while, it was already past nine in the evening when the three of them returned home.

As soon as Fatty got back, he rushed into the kitchen. He had only eaten some snacks to stave off hunger during dinner, and they had all been digested by now.

Gu Mian set the chainsaw on his back aside and sat on the sofa, opening his Attributes.

Immediately, a list of Attributes appeared before him.

The things that shouldn't have changed remained unchanged, still a uniform set of question marks. Only a few Attributes had changed.

[Game Currency: 138]

[Number of Dungeons Cleared: 2]

It wasn't easy. Two dungeons had already met their unfortunate demise.

Gu Mian thought to himself as he returned to the homepage. He noticed that the large activity area in the middle had somehow gained color.

Chu Changge, standing nearby, also noticed the change in the game panel. He was pushing up his glasses, looking closely at the activity area.

This seemed to be an event preview.

[The Global First Large-Scale Event, "Lantern Festival," is about to descend upon Earth.]

[Event Location: Hengdian World Studios, China]

[Event Time: February 19, 2019, 19:00 - 24:00]

[Content: On the night of the Lantern Festival, the Hengdian area will be decorated with "Ghost's Blessing." "Ghost's Blessing" will appear in the form of lanterns, with riddles posted by corresponding ghosts. Players who answer the riddles correctly can claim the lanterns and receive blessings. "Blessings" vary widely, potentially including rare Special Items, Game Currency, Attributes, or even the resentment of Fierce Ghosts and lingering bad luck. Please choose your lanterns carefully to avoid unforeseen circumstances.]

[Participation Requirements: The Hengdian area will be sealed off during the event. A ticket obtained from the advanced ticket booth is required for entry.]

Every game would have large-scale events, Gu Mian understood this clearly.

He had originally thought that game events would be conducted in the form of dungeons. He hadn't expected them to designate a specific event location, and only players who went to that location could participate.

"They want all players participating globally to crowd into Hengdian?" Gu Mian stroked his chin.

Transportation tools were unusable now. The situation on the roads made driving impossible.

Planes might still be able to fly, but few people would dare to take them. What if the pilot suddenly entered a special dungeon mid-flight?

This event might not be good for foreign friends.

Chu Changge pushed his glasses up. "I suspect this is to make players clash. Earth doesn't seem to like players staying in one place."

This was just a roundabout way of driving players to one location.

"Are you planning to participate in this event?" Chu Changge subconsciously glanced at the calendar.

Today was January 2nd, the second day since the game started. There was still over a month until this event.

They weren't far from Hengdian, only about a thousand kilometers away. It would take about ten-plus hours to get there via the highway, but given the current situation, the highway was likely out of the question.

"Of course," Gu Mian closed the panel. "But we need to prepare first."

For example, prepare money, and then buy a hearse.

He had seen hearses for sale in the supermarket tonight.

This was how the salesperson had described it to him at the time:

"A hearse, of course, is different from an ordinary car. It doesn't need gasoline, no fuel of any kind. Just step on the gas and it runs."

"The features of our hearse are very powerful. You've seen the situation on the roads now, almost completely blocked, cars can't move at all."

"But if you buy our hearse, it's different. Our hearse has drift and leap functions, it can help you jump over obstacles. For only 998, a high-quality and affordable hearse to take home."

"And it can be put into your inventory, very easy to carry!"

"However, there's one thing..." Gu Mian remembered the salesperson saying this with great dejection: "You need a Spirit Car Driving License to drive a hearse. But I heard the license test dungeon was destroyed by some scoundrel! So now there's only one person in the entire world who has passed the test..."

Hearing this, Gu Mian turned and fled, afraid of being recognized and attracting a mob.

He could actually afford a hearse, but the event page hadn't come out yet at the time. Gu Mian thought buying such a car would be useless, and it would also easily expose his identity, so he left directly.

Now it seemed his identity would be exposed sooner or later.

"In the game, events are the easiest way to improve your strength, so we should try to participate in every event," Gu Mian stroked his chin. "For our safety, and of course, for the quality of our meals."

Just then, Fatty came out carrying a large basin of fried chicken wings.

"I used almost half a bottle of cola, there's still more than half left. Do you guys want some?" he said as he placed the steaming chicken wings on the table.

The chicken wings were glossy and emitted an alluring aroma. Gu Mian picked one up with his chopsticks. The wings were fried to a crispy exterior and tender interior. Piercing the crisp outer layer revealed the tender, milky-white meat inside, releasing a fragrant aroma.

As if afraid it wouldn't be enough, Fatty also made two other dishes and cooked a small pot of rice.

Gu Mian realized that after the world became abnormal, his meals had actually gotten much better.

Fatty poured cola into cups and sighed, "In this situation, there are probably very few people who can eat as well as we do."

Gu Mian chimed in, "So we have to try harder to eat better."

Fatty then rubbed his hands together and spoke, "Doctor, I just saw the event page seems to have been updated."

As expected, he had also seen the event page.

"Mm," Gu Mian nodded while chewing on a chicken wing.

"So, Doctor, are you and Brother Chu planning to go to Hengdian to participate in the event?"

"Mm," Gu Mian spat out the bone in his mouth.

After a while longer, Fatty hesitantly asked, "Can you take me with you?"

Gu Mian had originally been thinking about how to rope this Fatty, the only one who could cook, into joining them. He hadn't expected him to walk right into the trap himself.

"Aren't you planning on going home?" Gu Mian asked subconsciously.

"Go home to what? I never had a permanent place to live, and my parents turned to dust underground long ago..."

At least your parents left you dust, Gu Mian put down his chopsticks. My parents didn't even leave me dust.

"Alright," Gu Mian readily agreed, "but we're not leaving these few days. We'll have to delay it a bit. I'll go through a few more Dungeons first."

There's still over a month anyway, no rush.

The three of them ate their fill that night. Fatty seemed particularly happy today. Before going to sleep, he even asked Gu Mian, "Doctor, why did you become a doctor?"

The sight of Gu Mian holding a chainsaw and carrying the bandit leader's head today had deeply shocked Fatty. He felt that Gu Mian wasn't really suited for the medical profession.

Gu Mian paused slightly at the question before replying, "Probably because when I was playing the game, I picked up twenty-eight first aid kits and three medical kits in one match. That's when I felt I had a talent for being a doctor."

Chu Changge raised his hand slightly, "I can attest to that. I was that medical kit."

Fatty fell asleep with his mind full of "first aid kits" and "medical kits," even dreaming that he had turned into a medical kit.

When he woke up the next day, he found Gu Mian was already gone.

And at a ticket booth not far from the apartment, the NPC finally welcomed its first proactive guest.
