Chapter 584: Chapter 583: Sealing the Medication

He Qinyun and Zheng Chunhua’s speeches seemed to have a certain impact, even Aunty Geng Yuxia expressed her agreement.

"Yes, everyone is under a lot of pressure, and we can’t let the burden on one person’s shoulders be too heavy.

"Mutual sharing and mutual support, that’s what makes a united community."

Ye Lin just wanted to speak, but Lu Bingjun spoke first.

"Hmm, what everyone said makes sense, and it’s actually what I have in mind too.

"Being a custodian, ultimately, requires firm resolve and absolute trust from everyone.

"Like Dr. Shen Qingyun in the previous game, he met such conditions very well.

"Coincidentally, we actually have such a person in our community.

"So, I think Qin Cheng is a better choice to serve as this custodian than me."

Ye Lin was momentarily stunned, she seemed to want to say something but ultimately chose to remain silent.

Lu Bingjun then looked at Zheng Chunhua: "You’ve collaborated with Qin Cheng in the game, so your feelings on this matter should be deeper than mine."

Zheng Chunhua avoided eye contact, lowering her head slightly: "Hmm... Yes, Qin Cheng is indeed a better choice."

He Qinyun was still somewhat worried: "But Dr. Qin is ultimately a new player who has just joined for a few days, so it’s inevitable that there will be issues of inexperience." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Lu Bingjun shook his head: "For truly gifted players, experience is a completely irrelevant thing.

"As long as there’s the right stage, often the greater the pressure, the faster the growth.

"Dr. Qin is indeed a newcomer, but his performance in the ’Pain Game’ was evident; who among us here can claim to have such a performance in the game?

"Moreover, Dr. Qin possesses the relevant professional knowledge, and from the situation over this period, he has demonstrated enough reliability both inside and outside of the game.

"So he’s undoubtedly the best choice."

He looked around at the others, seeing no more objections, he continued: "Then it is settled.

"Dr. Qin, you will be our community’s custodian of special medication.

"What you need to do is simple yet crucial:

"After purchasing these limited medications with community funds, you need to keep them safely in your room.

"Regardless of who, for whatever reason, tells you privately that they want to purchase these drugs, you can’t give them, and that includes me.

"If an extreme situation does occur in the future where we need these drugs, it should be openly discussed in the hall when everyone is present."

Qin Cheng nodded, stood up, and said to everyone: "Alright, thank you for your trust.

"I will guard this crucial line for everyone like I did in the game."

Lu Bingjun continued: "Now, we need to vote on the new proposal.

"Formally establish Dr. Qin as the custodian of the medication and authorize him to use community funds to purchase these drugs."

Soon, Yao Yuan completed the new proposal.

The proposal was not complex; it was simply adding a supplementary rule to the existing ’Community Development Fund’ rules.

Choose a player to serve as the custodian of all ’medical supplies.’

In the vending machine, the two special medications fall under the ’medical supplies’ section, which also includes medical boxes and some regular medications.

The player selected as custodian can use the Community Development Fund to purchase these medical supplies, but may spend no more than a Visa time equivalent to 20,000 minutes at a time.

When the limit is reached, details must be submitted to all players for review, and more time will be allocated once approved.

Currently, the prices for the two medications are 500 and 400, with a purchase limit of 10 bottles each, so a first purchase would require a Visa time equivalent to 9000 minutes.

Qin Cheng’s Visa time is temporarily sufficient, but continuously having him pay out of pocket is clearly not sustainable.

Moreover, changes in Visa time might trigger candidate rotations for enduring pain, bringing about even more troublesome chain reactions.

So using community funds for the purchase is the best choice.

Soon, Lu Bingjun submitted the proposal to the Community Management Office, and everyone completed their vote.

[The vote is complete.]

[Next, announcing the anonymous voting results.]

[Proposal 1: Add a supplementary rule to the ’Community Development Fund.’]

[Approved: 9 votes.]

[Opposed: 6 votes.]

[The supplementary rule to the ’Community Development Fund’ is established.]

[Proposal 2: Appoint Player No. 1, Qin Cheng, as ’Medical Supplies Custodian.’]

[Approved: 10 votes.]

[Opposed: 5 votes.]

[Qin Cheng will become the ’Medical Supplies Custodian’ in the community, carrying out the responsibilities outlined in the rules.]

Seeing these results, Lu Bingjun was the first to applaud.

Others followed suit, clapping even though the voting results clearly showed that many players opposed the two proposals.

Once the applause slightly subsided, Lu Bingjun said: "Alright, I know this proposal easily triggers controversy.

"Especially regarding these two drugs, opinions are varied and hard to align completely.

"Some players entered the ’Pain Game’ and witnessed or even personally experienced the harm of these two drugs, so naturally, they are extremely wary.

"But many players haven’t entered the game, only hearing others’ accounts, so inevitably there are some optimistic assumptions.

"In any case, a vote represents the result of the community’s collective decision.

"Even if there are differences in opinions, everyone should put the controversy aside and comply with this result.

"Alright, Qin Cheng, go buy the medicine.

"Remember, these drugs must be kept safe.

"Again, no matter who asks for these drugs privately for any reason, you cannot give them, including me."

Qin Cheng nodded, went up to the vending machine, and completed the purchase using community funds.

Soon, the sound of clinking continuously rang out, eventually, 20 small white bottles piled up at the vending machine’s output slot.

Qin Cheng brought over a used empty medical box, neatly placing these medications inside, then counted again, confirmed it was 20 bottles, and closed the box tightly once more.

"Brother Lu, I’ll go store these in my room then."

Lu Bingjun nodded: "Mm, go ahead."

Everyone watched Qin Cheng return to the second floor, with varied expressions.

According to community rules, everyone’s room is an absolutely safe private domain, strictly prohibiting any other player from entering.

Therefore, as long as Qin Cheng places these drugs in his room, unless he himself takes them out, other players will never be able to touch them.

Now, on the vending machine, the purchase quantity for the two drugs has changed from ’10/10’ to ’0/10.’

Lu Bingjun tried to purchase these drugs personally, but no drugs appeared in the output slot after the operation, only a simple message on the screen.

[Insufficient supply, please restock.]

This means that until restocking, no one in the community can purchase these two drugs anymore.

A moment later, Qin Cheng returned from the second floor.

"It’s stored safely.

"These drugs will never appear in the community again; if any leakage is found, I will take full responsibility."

No one brought up drug-related matters again, they just silently dispersed.
