Chapter 228: Xiong's Old Chinese Medicine [Paying Debt to the Big Brother 2/5]
Although it is a middle-class area.
But because of the light, the streets looked particularly cold.
Some inconspicuous streets are filled with an indescribable stench.
There are scattered shops, most of which sell daily necessities.
The most indispensable thing here is of course bars. Without exception, these bars are shabby.
A carved statue of Poseidon squatted on the top. Even the strange signboards were full of cracks caused by rain and wind. From time to time, rude and unrestrained laughter came from inside.
Don’t think that the middle-level area is a sunny world of singing and dancing.
On the contrary, if you come to Paradise Island, the people here will definitely warn you that it is full of dangerous people.
Thieves, drug dealers, women, robbers, etc.
Maybe you just said the wrong thing and it could lead to death.
This is a paradise for pirates to relax, but it is also a hell for the weak to survive.
On the street, a group of vendors selling amulets squatted in the corner.
A pair of shrewd eyes scanned the passing pedestrians.
If we say, this city is a grassland.
Then they are definitely jackals on the grassland, gathering in groups and locking on those weak pedestrians.
Once a target is locked on, they will often swarm around them before they even get close to them.
Started to recommend "amulet with magical power" to start with
It's said to be an amulet, but it doesn't even have any spiritual power. Even its shape seems to have been made at random.
This thing is just a tattered knot.
He even asked for 50 alliance coins.
If you don't buy it, they will keep surrounding you and not let you go.
Some passers-by were so troubled that they had no choice but to pay in a hurry.
Seeing this, Ding Xiaoyi walked over.
I was thinking of buying one and asked for directions.
The 50 yuan is considered as the toll for traveling.
However, he obviously underestimated the lethality of his face at this time.
When those cold eyes glanced at these vendors, the vendors who had been working here for many years instantly felt the ominous gaze.
When he saw Krutu's cold and fierce face, walking towards him.
Instead, they run faster than mice.
In a flash, it disappeared.
This left him helpless and groping forward on his own.
Fortunately, the place Mr. Chen mentioned was not too difficult to find. After searching for an hour, I finally found the street.
"It should be right here. I don't know if the place Mr. Chen mentioned is still there!"
Looking at the Central Street ahead, Ding Xiaoyi quickened his pace.
After passing through an alley, I smelled a strong smell of Chinese medicine in the air.
A very inconspicuous pharmacy store appeared in his sight.
【Xiongshi Laofang】
Looking at the sign in front of him, Ding Xiaoyi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the place was still there.
After opening the door and walking in, there was a small pharmacy room with a medical bed beside it and several banners hanging on the medicine cabinet on the left.
What kind of hanging pot helps the world?
A hundred years old
Introduction to Miracle Medicine
Send away three generations...and so on.
"Huh!"
At this moment, the old man at the counter saw business coming to his door, and his eyes lit up.
He hurried forward to greet him without asking any questions. After wandering around him for a while, the expression on his face began to become solemn.
Then there was another wave of shaking his head and sighing.
People who don't know it think they have some incurable disease.
"Little brother, you don't look good. Come on, let me feel your pulse. Don't worry, I don't charge for medical treatment!"
Seeing the old man's enthusiasm, Ding Xiaoyi had no choice but to refuse with a cold face: "No, I just came here to pick up the sign and leave!"
When the old man heard this, his face fell instantly.
He waved his sleeves with a gloomy look.
"I told you earlier, wasting my half-day expression, inside the room, go upstairs and turn right!"
After saying that, he ignored himself and walked back to the counter, holding a book and reading.
This old man is just an ordinary person. He doesn't even have any psychic powers, but he has such a bad temper.
He was really curious. In a place like this, the old man could survive to this day. It was either because he had no fear or it was a miracle.
But of course I can't afford to argue with an old man.
After walking up the steps to the second floor, I saw the huge hall in front of me. It was empty and had only one table and one chair.
A masked woman was playing with the tea set on the table.
"Take the card or return the card!"
The woman focused on brewing the tea in her hands, and saw the teapot turning over and over in various patterns in the woman's hands, and a unique tea fragrance began to permeate the cup.
"Take the card!"
Ding Xiaoyi sat generously in front of the woman, looking at the tea on the woman's tea tray, but he didn't drink it.
Although a pot of hot tea looks very tempting, after the previous experience of drinking tea at Chai's house, I am not very interested in this tea.
What's more, compared with Chai Rong's technique, although the woman's technique is light and versatile, it is somewhat suspected of showing off her skills.
It is far less pleasing to the eye than Chai Rong.
"There are fifteen cards, and one person can take at most two. The content and time are written on the cards. They are invalid after expiration, and the bounty will not be issued. If you fail the mission three times, you don't have to come again."
The woman took out a wooden plate from the secret compartment of the table.
Fifteen unique metal signs are neatly placed inside.
The mission objectives, time, bounty and other details are clearly written on each sign.
The most interesting thing is that if you look carefully, there is actually a display screen in the middle of the sign.
In addition to not being able to make phone calls, this thing has all the information such as taking photos, maps, and positioning.
You can even text and chat directly with your employer.
Of course, this aspect depends on the employer's settings, and some can only accept the employer's information unilaterally.
This is completely different from what Mr. Chen said.
It has to be said that for any industry to survive, it needs to keep pace with the times.
After scanning these mission cards, Ding Xiaoyi looked a little disappointed.
Hunting, vendetta, other than that, there are no challenging tasks.
And there is very little money.
He has no interest at all in those murderous tasks.
He simply pushed the sign back.
"Change a batch!"
The woman's hand in pouring tea suddenly raised her head and looked directly at the man in front of her. Under the mask, it was impossible to see whether her face was happy or angry.
Looking at Ding Xiaoyi, he sneered: "Why!"
"That's all!"
Faced with doubts, Ding Xiaoyi opened his sleeves, revealing the [Tiger Fury] psychic creature under the sleeves.
Here, no proof can be used, only strength is the best proof of strength.
"Spirit-wounding top grade!"
After seeing the psychic creature on Ding Xiaoyi's wrist, the woman's eyes instantly softened a lot.
Wherever a strong person goes, he will naturally receive the respect he deserves.
"The recent missions are not very good, this is already the best batch, but if you are interested, you can consider this mission."
As the woman spoke, she took out another sign and handed it to Ding Xiaoyi.
It's still hunting.
But the target is a foreigner.
This guy led a group of people to attack a cargo ship and robbed the ship and its cargo.
Even the crew members were all killed.
This made the cargo owner very angry and offered a reward of 6 million to hunt him down.
This guy has a fixed hiding place, on an island, which is a gathering place for aliens, so it is difficult to get there.
Several assassinations failed, and three masters in a row did not come back from the island.
"If you can complete this task, we will provide some additional convenient services and a 10% task rebate."
In fact, although this task has no time limit, it has been pending for more than half a year. If it continues to be pending, it will also be a kind of reputational damage to their hunter club.
"Aliens!"
Ding Xiaoyi thought about it for a while, and gradually became interested.
I really want to see what it will be like for the aliens who can force the alliance and the union to be so nervous.
"received!"
After reaching out to accept the sign, the woman immediately took out a piece of information and handed it to him.
"This is information specially provided to you by the Hunter Club. It contains important information. I believe it can bring you great convenience!"
Ding Xiaoyi put away the information, nodded, stood up and walked out.
"correct!"
At this time, the woman suddenly remembered something, stood up hurriedly and asked: "What is your code name? I still need to make a record here!"
Codename!
Ding Xiaoyi did not look back and continued walking forward, but casually said: "Cicada No. 13!"
With that said, the person walked down the stairs.
"Cicada No. 13?" The woman mentally recorded this unfamiliar code name, and if she could complete the task, she planned to report it to her superiors.
After all, a high-level soul-wounding master may not be considered a top expert in this sea area.
But he is definitely among the top experts.
As soon as I walked downstairs, I saw the old Chinese doctor just now, explaining earnestly to a young man with a broken arm.
"Look, your lips are blue, which means you have a bad stomach. A bad stomach is because your temper is blocked, which leads to the imbalance of the five elements. Earth Qi is blocked, and water Qi is defeated. Therefore, your kidneys are also bad. Seeing that your ears are black, it is enough to indicate that you have a bad stomach.
Kidney deficiency..."
After the old Chinese doctor said a lot, the young man who was listening was stunned for a while, looked at his wallet tangledly, and hesitated: "I just looked at the fracture..."
"Let's see together, let's see together. I don't charge for medical treatment."
After saying that, he grabbed three packets of medicine from the counter and handed them to the young man.
He patted the young man on the shoulder and said, "Thankfully you met me. If you had been a few years later, even the gods would not be able to save you. If you give me three packets of medicine, I will guarantee your life, oh no, the root of your illness."
After the young man was confused for a while, he finally calculated that it was indeed free to see a doctor, but three packs of medicine cost the young man 2,000 yuan.
Ding Xiaoyi stood behind, looking at it for a while.
I really wonder how this old man survives till now.
Ignoring the old man's continued deception, Ding Xiaoyi walked out of the store, opened the information bag in his hand, took out a piece of information and looked at it carefully.
When I saw the first message above, I couldn't help but think, "This is interesting!"
