While eating, Su Ming heard Su Qiaoqiao's kind words and missed her very much. However, Su Ming also knew that due to various reasons, he would not be able to see his sister in a short time.
I can only hope that my sister won't have to work too hard.
Su Qiaoqiao seemed to have taken another part-time job in order to meet Su Ming faster...
After going online, Su Ming rubbed his face and contacted Venus.
In addition to telling Venus that she had been promoted to an intermediate pharmacist so that she could attract better NPCs to work for her, she also gave Venus the properties of the Breath of Darkness potion.
Su Ming wants to earn more gold coins and give Su Qiaoqiao a big surprise. As long as Su Qiaoqiao meets him in the game, she won't have to work anymore.
Su Ming thought to herself that when the time comes, whatever her sister wants to do, she will make the money herself.
"Sister Venus, do you think this potion is valuable?" Su Ming followed a message under the properties of the potion.
As a professional businessman, Venus is easier than Su Ming to think of similar products in the market and thus judge the value of the item.
Venus read the attributes and sent a message back to Su Ming:
"Increasing the night vision distance can replace some items such as torches and searchlights. Such items consume a lot of money, but they are very cheap. The cost of the Breath of Darkness potion is there. I don't know if there is competition.
You authorize it to me first, and I will ask the NPC to make a batch and try to see if it can be sold. If it sells, you can spend some time to raise the level to LV3.
Recently, I have been arguing with NPC officials (sub-professional tasks), and I am planning to open a pharmacy. I can hire more NPCs, and then we will have more types of potions in the store."
Venus seems to have planned to specialize in selling potions. Her shop relies on magic potions and has become the most famous shop among the shops opened by players.
And the store is open, so we can’t just close the store after selling out all the magic potions.
While magic potions are still popular, Venus is also running some more affordable potions, in order to keep the store profitable when players level up and no longer need magic potions.
Su Ming had absolute trust in Venus. After operating the system interface and authorizing the formula of the Breath of Darkness potion to Venus, he replied:
"Then leave it all to my sister."
————
Su Ming left the Pharmacist Guild and did not go directly to kill monsters. Instead, he went to the exchange, intending to find a sword with high attack power to equip Zaemon.
This is a small matter, so don't bother Venus.
At the entrance of the exchange, there are players setting up stalls, and you can tell from the names of the stalls what they are selling.
Su Ming opened a stall related to professional equipment such as berserkers and swordsmanship apprentices, and first started looking for them at the entrance of the exchange.
You don’t have to choose the best one, the only attribute that Zaemon can use is attack power.
Su Ming saw a level 15 bronze sword with an attack power of 70 to 100. The attack power was almost higher than that of a silver weapon of the same level. However, because the strength attribute was added very little, the actual increased attack power was not as good as that of a silver weapon.
Even inferior to bronze weapons of the same level.
The stall owner only listed the price at 15 gold, and he knew very well that this weapon was actually useless.
Su Ming remembered the location of the stall and went into the exchange to look around again. If he did not buy the gold level equipment for level 15, the attack power of 100 would be almost gone. Finally, Su Ming returned to the previous stall and bought the bronze sword.
Equipped it for Zaemon.
After the long sword is given to Zaemon, it disappears directly, just like it is put into the player's backpack. When activating the skill, Zaemon will directly hold the sword hilt and attack.
After buying the sword, Su Ming came to the entrance of Poole Welfare Home, where he and Pyle had arranged to meet.
At the door, Aunt Carlisle who was sweeping the floor saw Su Ming, glared at him, stepped forward and asked:
"Coming to see Pyle?"
Su Ming nodded.
"go in."
Realizing that Aunt Carlisle was only fierce on the surface, but actually quite nice, Su Ming boldly continued to ask:
"How is Anjie?"
Aunt Carlisle stopped sweeping the floor, shook her head, and said:
"It'll be better in a few days. If you want to see her, go and see her."
After saying that, she started sweeping the street again.
Su Ming noticed that Aunt Carlisle was very sad, so she entered the orphanage without asking any more questions.
In the orphanage, there were still many children playing happily, but this time, they were all playing around Pyle.
When Pyle saw Su Ming, he said a few words to the children, and the children dispersed automatically.
Pyle, who had heavy bags under his eyes, came to Su Ming. He stayed up late yesterday painting and asked:
"Did you bring them all?"
"Yes." Su Ming handed the Baiying Ore to Pyle. The task was completed, and his experience was as low as ever.
"Thank you for your generosity." Pyle shed tears. He raised his head, let the tears flow back, and said, "I have to hurry up and take my leave first."
Pyle left in a hurry. Su Ming could understand Pyle's tears. Anjie must have a closer relationship with the people in the orphanage. If she leaves, everyone will be sad.
Su Ming grabbed a child, asked where Anjie was, and walked over.
"Meow~" Under the eaves, a cat was lying in a cat nest made by children out of cardboard boxes. When it saw Su Ming walking by, it called out. It also remembered Su Ming.
Su Ming went over and rubbed the cat's forehead, then continued walking towards the room.
At the door of the room, Su Ming turned the handle and opened the door.
The room was very simply decorated. In fact, Aunt Carlisle's room had a two-story dormitory bed next to the big bed. She must have just moved in to make it easier to take care of Anjie.
Anjie was lying on the bed in the dormitory. There were some black spots on her bloodless face. When she walked in and took a closer look, she realized that they were some crystal-like objects. At the connection between the crystal and the skin, there was a solidified light red color.
Bloodstains.
On the windowsill, there is a pot of white chrysanthemums and a music box.
The music box plays soft music.
"Aunt Carlisle?" Anjie, who was looking out the window, heard the footsteps, turned her head, saw Su Ming, and smiled, "It's you, big brother, Aunt Carlisle didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
"No." Su Ming squatted beside the bed, looking at the changed Anjie, feeling a little distressed. He asked gently: "Can I help you?"
"I can't help..." Anjie smiled reluctantly: "I know my situation..."
"Do you need money for treatment? I can provide some." Su Ming knew that the purchasing power of gold coins is very strong among NPCs. He was already a hundred millionaire after all, so he might be able to save someone. Su Ming didn't know how to save an NPC.
What's the use? It's just that when he saw Anjie, it was like seeing himself on the hospital bed.
Anjie shook her head and said:
"It's not about money."
She turned her gaze to the window again. The wall outside was covered with a white cloth. Some red paint was exposed in the uncovered area. Anjie said to herself:
"It would be great if the Paradise Flower is really useful, but Anjie knows about it and understands it."
Anjie was silent for a while. She turned her head to Su Ming and suddenly started sobbing. She choked and said:
"Brother, please don't look at me with such sad eyes, okay? Let's do what we did a few days ago. You lead me to 'steal' things and carry me over the wall to look at kittens. That makes Anjie very happy.
My illness is already painful enough, so my biggest wish is not to bring this pain to everyone who loves me. However, Anjie seems to have not done a good enough job. Aunt Carlisle, Uncle Pyle and everyone at the orphanage, see
I always look sad.
Now, big brother, you too...really...make me unhappy one by one...when I feel sad, everyone becomes even sadder, wuwu..."
Su Ming was at a loss. He could understand An Jie's current mood. It was like when he first became a vegetative state. When he heard his sister's tired voice and he couldn't do anything, he felt,
My pain was actually borne by my sister.
When he first realized this, Su Ming always thought that if he could die early, his sister would be free. However, after hearing her sister's constant encouragement, Su Ming also realized that her thoughts
It's very irresponsible.
When Su Qiaoqiao took on a part of his pain, part of his life belonged to Su Qiaoqiao. Su Qiaoqiao didn't give up, so what right did he have to decide to give up?
At this point, Anjie did better than Su Ming. She actually never thought about giving up. It was only in the last moment of her life that she revealed her depression to a stranger and expressed a little.
Complain.
"Anjie, you did a great job." Su Ming said with emotion: "You have to believe that we not only feel your pain, but also your love for us."
"Is that so?" Anjie sniffed twice to stop crying, smiled again, and said to Su Ming: "Brother, can you wipe my tears for me?"
"Okay, of course." Su Ming took out the tissue from the bedside, carefully passed around the black crystal stone, and helped Anjie wipe away her tears, "Does it hurt?"
Anjie nodded.
"Is there really nothing I can do to help you?" Su Ming asked again. He was thinking that maybe he could trigger a mission. As long as there is a mission, everything is possible.
"No." Anjie looked into Su Ming's eyes and said, "Crystal disease is very serious. It is said that the invasion of the demon king from another world caused the balance of magic power to be broken, so people will suffer from crystal disease. If the story is
If it’s true, then I’ll ask you, brother, to defeat the devil.”
"If there is, brother, I will give the devil a good beating for you." Su Ming clenched his fist and waved it in front of Anjie.
"Yeah! Beat it hard!" Anjie showed a bright smile. She smiled so wide that she pulled the crystal and bleeded.
At this time, Carlisle walked in with a washbasin. When he saw Anjie bleeding, he became furious and drove Su Ming away.
Anjie saw Su Ming being kicked out of the room with a towel, she pursed her lips and smiled, making a "goodbye" sign to Su Ming.
Carlisle drove Su Ming away, closed the door heavily, and muttered:
"I shouldn't have let this guy in. He didn't move lightly or hard. What did that guy say to you?"
"He said he wanted to help me beat up the devil who caused me to develop crystal disease."
"Haha, a guy who can't even beat me is always talking big words." Carlisle wetted the towel with warm water and carefully helped Anjie clean her face: "That guy came in after such a long time, and that's what he said?"
"Well...he also said that love is mutual." Anjie squinted her eyes, feeling a little sleepy, and said to herself, at least...just read the gift Uncle Pyle gave her before going to bed.
