Chapter 23: First Class User

聽 聽聽[System Note: Please do not overuse mental value, or it will cause brain damage.] 聽 聽聽At the same time, Janet felt a sharp and unbearable pain in her temples, as if a needle had been stuck in. 聽 聽聽She came to her senses after a minute. 聽 聽聽After a minute, the blackness in her eyes disappeared, but she still felt dizzy. She cleaned her nosebleed and stuffed herself with two cotton balls. 聽 聽聽The cotton balls quickly became wet with blood, and it took her fifteen changes to stop the bleeding slightly. 聽 聽聽The symptoms she was experiencing were somewhat similar to those produced by Carter's mental contamination. 聽 聽聽If she keeps using it like this, she'll have to be hospitalized along with Carter. 聽 聽聽People were walking in the corridor, "What's going on? Is there a psychic in our building?" 聽 聽聽Another person asked, "Are you kidding me? There's no way a shifter would come to live with us." 聽 聽聽"But there's never an earthquake in District 103." 聽 聽聽"It's probably an abnormal energy fluctuation. Everyone be careful these days." 聽 聽聽The two chatted, too, and left. 聽 聽聽Janet froze for ten seconds, facing the metal wall. She couldn't tell Bonnie; it would be noticed immediately once she did. 聽 聽聽But Janet's headache continued to flare up. 聽 聽聽She thought about it and messaged Egbert, "What do I do about the headache?" 聽 聽聽Janet and Egbert both do dirty work, and it should be safe to approach him. 聽 聽聽After all, they were "coworkers" in a sense. 聽 聽聽Egbert returned the message very quickly. 聽 聽聽"Baby, what's wrong with you? Have you been mentally contaminated? Or did you overuse your spirit value?" Egbert didn't wait for Janet to answer and continued, "Never mind, it's all in your head anyway." 聽 聽聽"You can go to the hospital for a checkup, but hospitals are costly. If you don't want to be treated at the Cleaning Center Medical Department, treatment outside would require 10 million EAC almost to be cured." 聽 聽聽Janet: "銆傘€傘€傘€傘€�" 聽 聽聽Poor people could not afford to pay Wasteland World's medical bills. 聽 聽聽Janet: "I'm not serious. I can hold out." 聽 聽聽Egbert: "If you don't think it's serious, you should take some medicine first. You should have received medication, and a medication guide is inside your suitcase." 聽 聽聽Janet followed the prompting and went to look in her suitcase. That's when she realized that there were聽actually聽quite a few potions in the bag, and there was a spiritual healer in there that didn't say on the box that Forever Pharmaceuticals made it. 聽 聽聽However, the pill box had a very strange symbol engraved on it, like a snake wrapped around a handful of flames. 聽 聽聽Janet noticed this for the first time. She then realized that most聽of the聽things inside the box had this symbol on them. 聽 聽聽This couldn't also be a symbol created by Prometheus, could it? 聽 聽聽Janet opened and drank a spirit healer, which eased her symptoms quite a bit. 聽 聽聽Egbert聽very聽thoughtfully reminded her, "You take the medicine and rest for two days. If you are in good health, you can recover in four days. If you find yourself in a bad situation on behalf of the others, you must go to the hospital in time." 聽 聽聽"Let me tell you a secret. You can pretend to be spiritually contaminated the next time you go on a mission. That way, you can be hospitalized in the medical department for free." 聽 聽聽Janet's eyes widened, "Do you often rub free medical treatment through this method, too?" 聽 聽聽After drinking the spirit healing agent, Janet's mind cleared up quite a bit. 聽 聽聽Although her spirit value was very high, it couldn't withstand prolonged wear and tear. 聽 聽聽Janet thought this "Metal Manipulation" skill should be used with caution. 聽 聽聽She opened the Cleaning Center forum again, and when she clicked on it, the screen was filled with fireworks. [Congratulations on completing the mission of taking in the hotpot restaurant]. 聽 聽聽The message was a bit delayed, and then a gray envelope appeared in the center of the page. 聽 聽聽After opening the gray envelope, you can enter another forum that is a black-and-white page. 聽 聽聽The name was Grave Post Lover's Exchange Center. 聽 聽聽[Please enter username] 聽 聽聽Janet thought about it and filled in the name Little Honey. 聽 聽聽After she finished registering, her ID name was followed by v1 聽 聽聽This聽was the meaning of first-level user. 聽 聽聽Since she registered, an additional "Group" button was next to her ID. 聽 聽聽This聽meant聽that the聽user could invite others to form a team to enter the contaminated area together. 聽 聽聽In a way, this place worked a lot like a bounty hunter organization. 聽 聽聽Janet started browsing the new forums. 聽 聽聽The news of Janet's purification of the hotpot restaurant was synchronized on the forum's front page, and the whole site was informed: [The cannibalistic hotpot restaurant has been purified by a new user, Little Honey]. 聽 聽聽The forum users began to discuss hotly. 聽 聽聽"The new user聽actually聽solved a C-rank contaminated area! So powerful!" 聽 聽聽"Who is this newcomer? Is it a Purifier or a Hunter?" 聽 聽聽"We're prohibited from investigating other people's true identities here." 聽 聽聽"I want to find her to team up with." 聽 聽聽The hotpot restaurant was a c-ranked contaminated area, and the heat wasn't too high. 聽 聽聽It was rumored that a usera user solved the s-ranked contaminated area by himself today. The ID name was Bobcat, and the user level was 11. 聽 聽聽No one knew this Bobcat's identity. People only knew that he was a hunter who usually only accepted missions above a rank. 聽 聽聽Bobcat bulldozed the s-ranked contaminated area this time and picked two teams of cleaners to work with. Therefore, Bobcat was only responsible for solving the source of contamination, and sheltering the contaminated spores was still left to the cleaners. 聽 聽聽This聽was normal, though. Because hunters generally wanted to do something other than sweep up trash. 聽 聽聽Janet skimmed through the posts for a while and then closed the forum. 聽 聽聽Lynn had granted her a seven-day vacation. She worked one day for private clients and spent the remaining six days at home. 聽 聽聽After the hotpot restaurant assignment, Janet didn't want to move at all and just wanted to sleep at home. 聽 聽聽Six days later, Janet received a notice from Lynn that she needed to go to the center for training.聽This聽coincided with Carter being discharged from the hospital. 聽 聽聽Sherry and Janet planned to go to the medical department together to pick him up. 聽 聽聽Janet also wanted to have a preliminary understanding of this medical department. Maybe she could come here to examine the medical resources, as Egbert said. 聽 聽聽The medical inpatient department was on the 70th floor. 聽 聽聽Janet's re-entry into the cleaning center felt different from her first visit. 聽 聽聽She was new to the job not long ago, and looking at the Cleaning Center building was new to her. 聽 聽聽Now, seeing the building was surprisingly familiar. Although she had only been here once before, it felt as if she had worked there for five years. 聽 聽聽Sure enough, work can kill a person's mind. 聽 聽聽As soon as Janet entered, she felt a lot of people looking at her, whispering while looking at her. 聽 聽聽Janet only knew a few people in the cleaning center and had no idea what they were talking about. 聽 聽聽Sherry was waiting for her in the waiting area by the door. Janet was not wearing any work clothes but a casual outfit. 聽 聽聽Janet wore a gray t-shirtT-shirtpair of blacderneath. She had a high ponytail and was holding a bouquet of red roses. 聽 聽聽Janet's legs were long, and from a distance, she looked like she had legs from the waist down. 聽 聽聽It was聽obviously聽the same person, and the dress was nothing unusual. 聽 聽聽But Sherry felt as if Janet had changed a lot. She had become extremely visible in the crowd. 聽 聽聽It wasn't because of her outstanding appearance. In this era when beauty could be mass-produced, it was not worth anything at all. 聽 聽聽Instead, it was the temperament she carried. 聽 聽聽That sense of calmness in her body was even more vital. 聽 聽聽She looked very mature, not quite like a 19-year-old girl. 聽 聽聽Sherry asked, "Are you holding the flowers to propose to Carter?" 聽 聽聽Janet bristled, "He asked me to give him a discharge gift." 聽 聽聽Sherry rolled her eyes. She couldn't understand young people these days. 聽 聽聽They waited at the entrance to the medical department and soon saw Carter walk out. Only he had a numb and dull look on his face. 聽 聽聽Janet asked Sherry in a low voice, ''Why does he still have that expression? Hasn't his mental pollution healed yet?" 聽 聽聽Janet was聽actually聽curious about how mental pollution should be treated. 聽 聽聽Sherry replied, "No, I read his discharge report; his indicators are all聽back to聽normal." 聽 聽聽Janet tucks the rose into his arms as Carter comes to heel. 聽 聽聽Carter had just regained his mental state today, so he glanced at his chat logs and the video the doctor had taken of his behavior. 聽 聽聽He was still proud of himself when he saw that the video of him and Janet purging the class D contaminated area was up on the forums. 聽 聽聽By the time he saw the video of himself going to be a sister puppy in the forums, it had over 100,000 views. 聽 聽It was so humiliating! 聽 聽聽Sherry could see his embarrassment and reassured him, "The prize money for this mission should be pretty big." 聽 聽聽Speaking of which, Carter finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, there was a bonus. 聽 聽聽Thanks to Janet's blessing, the reward for killing the contaminant was split equally between Janet and him. Carter earned more than 600,000 dollars, the most he had ever earned on a mission. 聽 聽聽Carter said, "I want to retire with that money.聽I'm going to聽go live in the mountains with no one there for the rest of my life." 聽 聽聽"Not so much," Janet said reassuringly. And there are no more mountain forests. If you really want to see the mountains and forests, you still have to get out of the fence and fight the monsters out there; you might as well be working." 聽 聽聽Carter: "銆傘€傘€傘€傘€傘€傘€傘€�" 聽 聽聽Sherry coughed lightly, "Carter, did you get the training message?" 聽 聽聽Carter gave a sullen reply. He was even more depressed that he had just been discharged from the hospital and had to go to training. 聽 聽聽Sherry continued, "We need to go to training on the 45th floor at 1:30 this afternoon, either the three of us or a group." 聽 聽聽Carter hugged the roses without reacting and asked with a shocked look聽on his face, "What? Janet, didn't you even choose to be a hunter? Are you going to stay a cleaner? 锛侊紒锛侊紒"聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽聽
