After Chen Che thought for a moment, he took the old ginseng and started chewing it without hesitation.
A large amount of dark green energy was poured into the Yuan-devouring bottle. After chewing one old ginseng, the Yuan-devouring bottle was only two-thirds full.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and take out another piece of Huangjing.
After eating half of the old Huang Jing, the Yuan Devouring Bottle was finally filled with energy again.
"More than a hundred taels are just gone..."
Chen Che's heart was bleeding, but he also had a vague expectation that this light green energy would be different from the white energy.
Just when he finished charging and tried to activate the high-pressure state, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.
"Do you want to turn on the ultra-high voltage state?"
Hearing this, Chen Che was shocked and quickly responded: "Turn it on!"
Cough cough cough cough!”
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Chen Che couldn't help coughing loudly.
When the high-pressure state was turned on before, he only had a slight cough and it didn't look serious.
But this time when the so-called ultra-high pressure state was activated, he directly developed a moderate cough.
If the cough becomes more severe, it may give the impression that he is dying.
…
"Cough cough cough cough!"
After a violent cough, Chen Che quickly returned to his normal state.
After feeling the changes in his body, he quickly came to a conclusion.
Under this ultra-high pressure state, its efficiency has increased several times compared to the high-pressure state.
However, this state consumes too much, and it costs more than one hundred taels of silver to recharge it once.
Although now that the normal high-pressure state is turned on, he will consume more than ten taels of medicinal materials, but these more than ten taels of silver are the result of abnormal prices.
If one day he leaves Stone Fire City, prices will return to normal immediately.
As for this kind of old medicine, since it has nothing to do with ordinary medicine gardens, the price has not changed much. Even if he went to other places, he would still spend more than a hundred taels of silver.
This is converted into twenty or thirty times the consumption.
Twenty or thirty times the consumption in exchange for several times improvement is not a cost-effective choice for him now.
…
"Let's talk about it later when there is no shortage of money."
Chen Che silently made a decision.
Although this ultra-high pressure state seems a bit low cost-effective for him now, it is always a good thing to have one more choice.
…
At dawn, Chen Che rushed to the entrance of the hall dejectedly, and then fell asleep.
On the other hand, perhaps due to the strong intervention of the Lin family, many small and medium-sized families chose to retreat and no longer take Chen Che's advice, and instead looked for other ways to protect themselves.
Some small families even sold their properties at low prices and began to move away from Stone Fire City.
Time passed day by day, and seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
As the time for Jishi League to enter the city gets closer and closer, the atmosphere in the city becomes more and more weird.
Porridge is given out every day in the outer city, and there is singing and dancing in the inner city.
And on this day, Feng Dachuan suddenly set up a banquet at the main helm and announced that he would accept Chen Che as his adopted son.
More than a hundred members of the Sirius Gang were present. In addition, some representatives of families with good relations with the Sirius Gang also came.
…
After a set of procedures was completed, Chen Che stood up and said to Feng Dachuan beside him: "Father, let me go and greet my next old friend."
Feng Dachuan said casually: "Go."
After hearing this, Chen Che left the main table and walked towards a table in the middle of the banquet.
"Brother Chen!"
Seeing Chen Che arriving, Zhang Ruoyuan quickly stood up.
Compared to before, his face was more reserved.
After all, this Brother Chen is no longer the poor scholar he used to be.
Chen Che smiled faintly when he saw this, and then directly pulled him to an empty table in the corner.
"Brother Zhang, come and have a drink with me. You and I are good friends, so there is no need to be so restrained."
"Brother Chen, I feel relieved with your words. You are indeed the same Brother Chen I know."
Zhang Ruoyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Zhang Ruolan went back last time, he suddenly became the head of the Zhang family.
And all this was because his friend suddenly became famous.
"Oh, what I'm saying is that I used to be a poor scholar, and I never saw how much airs you put on in front of me, Brother Zhang."
Chen Che poured Zhang Ruoyuan a glass of wine as he spoke.
Zhang Ruoyuan took the wine glass and drank it down, then frowned and said: "Brother Chen, I told my family everything about the restaurant and the storybook...
Ruolan now also knows that you went to my house to discuss this matter with me...
She has no shame in seeing you anymore, so she asked me to apologize to you."
Chen Che smiled nonchalantly.
"They are all small things, and they will be over in the past."
"It's no small matter!"
Zhang Ruoyuan's tone was serious.
"In the past few months, our Zhang family has earned hundreds of taels more every month than in previous years.
Now that I have become the head of the family, our cooperation agreement will continue to be in effect.
From now on, I will give you 30% profit every month."
"good."
Chen Che responded with a smile, and then drank a glass of wine in one gulp.
Zhang Ruoyuan seemed to sense that something was wrong with Chen Che's mood, and couldn't help lowering his voice and asked: "What's wrong, Brother Chen? Is it possible that you don't want to be that Feng Dachuan's adopted son?"
"It's not that..."
Chen Che shook his head slightly.
"What's the reason for that?"
Zhang Ruoyuan asked.
Chen Che sighed lightly and said nothing.
Zhang Ruoyuan continued:
"Brother Chen, you actually have many choices now.
If you don’t want to stay in the Tianlang Gang, you can wait until the Jishi League enters the city and then join the Jishi League. It will be quite interesting to travel around with the Jishi League in the future.
And, you know what?
It seems that the teacher will also enter the city with the people from the Jishi League.
I remember that he often praised you in front of me back then. I wonder how he would react when he found out that you had become a warrior after entering the city?
He has never been very fond of warriors.
hehe……
When you meet, it will definitely be interesting, and he might teach you a lesson."
Zhang Ruoyuan couldn't help but chuckle as he spoke.
Of course, these are all jokes.
The teacher is a great scholar, so he will definitely not embarrass Chen Che.
"Can't I just avoid him?
Brother Zhang, drink up, I have almost no friends in this city, you are the only one."
Chen Che raised his glass, looking slightly drunk.
Zhang Ruoyuan was quite moved when he heard this and also raised his glass.
The two of them drank while reminiscing about the past, and drank until the banquet was over.
Zhang Ruoyuan was just an ordinary person, and he drank directly and fell unconscious.
"Du Peng, hire a carriage to take Mr. Zhang back."
Chen Che arranged with red cheeks.
"Okay, Hall Master, it's rare to see you drink so much!"
Du Peng joked while helping Zhang Ruoyuan up.
"Haha, I'm so happy today!"
Chen Chedan laughed.
After sending Zhang Ruoyuan off, he walked to the well outside the main helm and washed his face.
After drinking so much wine, he felt hot all over.
But his heart felt extremely cold at the moment.
Because after drinking a drink at the main table, he discovered that a strange white and black energy was flowing into the element-devouring bottle.
It's not much, but it does exist.
That is to say...
Someone slipped something into his drink tonight.
Who is it?
Chen Che subconsciously looked inside the main rudder, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
