Chapter 55 Mr. Ji, Come for a Physical Examination
[Page 1/3]
[This lottery item: "Ring of Love's Protection"]
[Draw probability: 30%]
[Please lift the small bowl]
Ji Linmo placed his hand on the black bowl and gently lifted it.
In an instant, a dazzling white light flashed from within the bowl.
[Draw successful!]
[You have successfully obtained the advanced side item, "Ring of Love's Protection"!]
Ji Linmo stared at the prompt before him in disbelief.
With just a 30% chance, he had actually drawn it. Was fortune finally smiling on him?
Ji Linmo had always known his luck was poor, which was why he insisted on choosing S-level items, relying on the guaranteed draw.
—In the world of horror games, if you fail to obtain the advanced side item ten times in a row, the eleventh attempt is guaranteed to award the selected advanced item.
Players jokingly called this guarantee "The Salvation of the Unlucky."
[Kind reminder: The "Ring of Love" is a pair of wedding rings. The secondary ring has already been successfully drawn by your teammate, Qin Feng!]
Wedding rings?
Ji Linmo's expression stiffened as he read the prompt.
It seemed he couldn't just wear this ring around carelessly from now on.
"Next, please. I still have rewards from the side quest."
[Side Quest "Who Am I" reward distribution in progress]
[You may choose two of the remaining items from the current quest rewards]
His vision brightened again, and a chessboard and a bottle of perfume floated in the air.
This time, Ji Linmo didn’t dare tempt fate.
He immediately selected the B-level item, "Charm Perfume."
[You have successfully obtained the intermediate item "Charm Perfume." The reward has been sent to your inventory. Please check.]
Buzz!
Buzz!
A deafening mechanical noise erupted. Ji Linmo stood unmoving, as the darkness beneath his feet thickened like sludge, slowly swallowing him, dragging him into the abyss.
[The horror game officially begins!]
[This quest: Peaceful Supermarket]

Ji Linmo opened his eyes to stark white walls, faded, laundered curtains, and the pervasive scent of disinfectant—all unmistakable signs that he was in a hospital room.
But as Ji Linmo prepared to sit up, a strong force suddenly restrained him.
He was bound to the bed!
Ji Linmo frowned, examining himself. His hands were cuffed above his head, and his feet were chained to the foot of the bed, forcing him into an awkward position.
[A-level quest: Peaceful Supermarket]
[Background: Welcome to Peaceful Supermarket. We promise to provide the freshest goods and ensure you spend the warmest, happiest time in the market!]
[Game objective: Escape the supermarket before the game ends to clear the quest]
[Game duration: 7 days]
[Number of players this quest: 100]
"Why tie people up? Isn't this supposed to be a supermarket? Why does it feel more like a hospital..."
Ji Linmo glanced at the patient gown he was wearing and tried to struggle.
The chains binding his limbs clattered against the bed, ringing out clearly.
Obviously, this ironclad restraint was not something a human could break free from.
Ji Linmo's frown deepened as he considered forcing his way out, but his gaze caught a white sheet of paper beside the nightstand.
It was a rule slip!
[Product Notice:]
[1. Take your medication on time every day; swallow the white pills at 7:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m.]
[2. Obey the doctor’s instructions; do not defy their orders]
[3. Forbidden to leave the hospital ward area]
[4. Forbidden to leave your own ward outside activity hours; forbidden to leave the activity area]
Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside, and someone pushed open the door.
"Mr. Ji in bed thirteen, how have you been feeling lately~"
A clear, youthful voice echoed in Ji Linmo’s ears.
Qin Feng?
Ji Linmo turned his head and saw Qin Feng, dressed in a doctor’s white coat, leaning against the doorframe with a bright smile.
So they’d been assigned different roles... Judging by Qin Feng’s attire, he was a doctor in this game?
"Not great. If you’d unlock my handcuffs, I might feel a bit better."
Ji Linmo lowered his gaze and shook the cuffs on his wrists, chains jingling.

But Qin Feng only smiled wider, ignoring the complaint as he walked over to the man.
"Mr. Ji, according to market regulations, I have to conduct a physical examination on you today."
"Are you ready~"
The boy narrowed his eyes, his beautiful, almond-shaped eyes curving into crescents as he smiled with genuine delight.
"Wait... What kind of examination are you talking about?"
Ji Linmo was momentarily taken aback, thinking he must have misheard.
But watching Qin Feng seriously wash his hands at the sink and then approach, Ji Linmo realized he meant every word.
"Wait!"
Ji Linmo found the situation increasingly bizarre and struggled to get off the bed, but the chains only rattled futilely.
"No need to be nervous, it's just a routine check-up."
Towering over him, Qin Feng slowly unbuttoned Ji Linmo’s patient gown, his tone playful. "Though, the examination will cover your entire body~"
At that, Ji Linmo’s face turned ashen.
Noticing the dramatic change, Qin Feng let out a soft laugh, his smile even more brilliant.
When he pressed his cool palm to Ji Linmo’s abdomen, he could clearly feel the man’s body tense instantly, his very breath catching.
"Hmm, not bad. No abnormalities detected."
Qin Feng’s fingertips trailed ambiguously over Ji Linmo’s neck before sliding down across his abdomen.
"Hey, kid... Don’t push your luck—"
Ji Linmo jerked upright, only for the chains to drag him back onto the bed.
He fixed Qin Feng with a blank stare, now tinged with warning.
"Oh, don’t be upset~ I’m just following the rules, Mr. Ji,"
Qin Feng said with a grin, marking several checkboxes in his medical chart, then putting on a pair of white gloves.
"I’m considering your privacy here and skipping quite a few steps, you know."
"But you can’t skip the oral exam. Please open your mouth, Mr. Ji~"
With the youth cupping his chin, Ji Linmo reluctantly opened his mouth.
By the rules, as a ‘product,’ he couldn’t resist the doctor.
"Who would have thought our miracle worker has a cavity? Seems you had quite the sweet tooth in the past."
