Chapter 245: Chapter 245: It’s something that will cost her 2 lives
After the Moyu finished picking the Demon God Grass Leaf, Qian Qi went to the vegetable garden nearby to harvest other Magic Plants.
These were seeds she had casually scattered and had been cursed by Moyu. Normally, the Moyu would spread some Magic Beast blood and fertilizer to let them grow naturally.
These Magic Plants, with the dual buffs of Demonization + Curse, were growing very well. After harvesting a few batches, Qian Qi scattered some other Magic Plant Seeds and then went into a small cabin to start making potions.
The materials needed for the Treatment Potion for Spiritual Power Disorder were quite abundant now, allowing her to make several potions at once to give to Su Ang as a thank you gift.
After coming out of the cabin drenched in sweat, Qian Qi put a bottle of potion and a vial into a safe, left the instance, and handed the safe to the driver, who was being pulled into a game of chess by some children.
"Handle with care, be very careful! This thing is worth 1.333333333 billion, the big one is for your Young Master, the small one for Sikong Wang!"
"There’s even one for the Young Master of the Sikong family?" The driver took the safe, noticed it was a defense safe commonly used by their Family, and curiously asked, "What on earth is this, worth 1.3 billion?"
"1.333333333 billion," Qian Qi corrected seriously, "Don’t shortchange me, or I’ll owe Su Ang a billion!"
Driver: ...
He still didn’t believe an orphan like Qian Qi could produce something worth 1.3 billion, but to save her some face, he nodded perfunctorily yet earnestly, "Alright~ I’ll truthfully inform the Young Master."
"Make sure you do," Qian Qi instructed, "This concerns my future."
She planned to knock, ah no, scoop some money from Wangwang’s dad later. When setting the price, you need a reference point, right?
After the driver left, Qian Qi turned and re-entered the instance, preparing to start researching her hybrid version of Magic God Grass.
——
Sea City, Medical Base.
After a session of painful and uncontrollable breathing, Su Ang sat up from the operating table, his face pale, and slowly removed the 疏导 instrument from his temples.
"You’ve exhausted too much of your spiritual power this time, don’t enter the instance again soon."
Beside him, the attending doctor adjusted his glasses frame and warned, clutching the spiritual power wave report, "You almost dropped below the critical value. Do you understand what it means to drop below the threshold? You’re only 21 years old!"
Other S-Class Commanders don’t even reach critical levels until they’re at least 30, entering severe Spiritual Power Disorder, but he’s only 21!
"This beast tide was in the city center, and I couldn’t just sit idly by." Su Ang lowered his gaze, the slender and pale ten fingers slowly sorting the 疏导 instrument back into its case, "Thirty thousand people died, it’s not a small number."
"Sit there, stop packing up!" The attending doctor speechlessly snatched the 疏导 instrument case and placed it aside, "Accidents can’t be prevented, you should save your energy and think more about yourself!"
Can’t accidents be prevented...?
Su Ang suddenly recalled the time when Qian Qi told him in Song City that the Qingyun Mountain instance in the Second B Battle Zone was about to have a Magic Beast Tide, and that time in Fucheng Full Moon Street when she unlocked a hidden instance everyone hadn’t expected.
"By the way, I heard..." The attending doctor suddenly leaned over, interrupting Su Ang’s thoughts, and whispered, "The Treatment Potion for Spiritual Power Disorder has already been developed, and you seem to be quite familiar with the developer?"
Su Ang glanced at him calmly, and the doctor quickly raised his hands to clarify, "I’m not prying for information, I’m just saying, since you know the person, why not have them make you two vials of the treatment reagent?"
"With just two doses, your disorder could be completely healed." The attending doctor noted while writing his report on Su Ang’s spiritual power, reminding, "When you fall below the critical value, it won’t just take two vials~"
Su Ang silently paused for a moment, then softly spoke, "Making that involves... half of a life..."
"Huh?" The doctor looked up, "What?"
"Nothing." Su Ang slowly lowered his gaze, the dense and beautiful eyelashes slowly covering those eyes as dark as the starry sky.
Having just finished the spiritual power疏导, his entire head still felt like it was being stabbed and hammered, with even his whole body’s muscles aching.
Slow in his thoughts, he wondered how Qian Qi was doing with her hovercar lessons. As smart as she is, she should pick it up quickly, right...?
Just as he pondered this, a knock came at the medical room’s door.
"Who’s there?" The attending doctor checked the time and remembered there were no appointments scheduled for this hour.
"It’s me~ It’s me~" Sikong Wang poked his head halfway through the door, and above him, the driver’s head also popped in, curiously scanning the medical room, "Did the Young Master finish疏导?"
"Finished, come in." The doctor waved helplessly.
Su Ang turned his head slowly, his gaze landing on the two, "Why are you here?"
"I came to see my mom, seemed to bump into your driver, who said Qi, ahem, someone sent us a gift."
"A gift?" Su Ang pondered slowly, his driver should have just returned from Qian Qi, so...
Is it a gift from Qian Qi?
Is it thanks for the car and the instructor?
Like a sloth, Su Ang sluggishly reached out his hand, "Let me see..."
"Uhm... Young Master, you’d better not touch it, that person said it’s fragile, you must be careful." Seeing Su Ang’s sluggish state, the driver felt a pang of sympathy but didn’t forget to tightly clutch the safe, "That person mentioned it’s worth 1.333333333 billion."
"Hmm?" Su Ang got confused by the string of threes. He watched as the driver placed the case on the table and opened the safe.
Upon seeing the contents, Su Ang suddenly chuckled.
She... really didn’t mean to praise him sincerely as a good person.
Who would say someone is a good person one minute, and the next eagerly settle a "billion-dollar debt," wishing to separate financial transactions and personal relationships as clearly as possible?
"What’s this?" The driver, seeing a large bottle of green liquid and a small sealed vial of green liquid inside the safe, curiously asked, "A drink? Or liquor?"
With a "clap," Su Ang closed the box, fast enough for the doctor to doubt he had even undergone spiritual power疏导, "No, it’s... something worth two lives."
Driver: Uh?
"So what exactly is it?" the driver secretly asked Sikong Wang, "They said it’s something our Young Master would be lacking. What could possibly be something our Young Master lacks?"
Sikong Wang chuckled, glimpsed at the driver, "They’re not wrong. This is an item that’s priceless without a market, something that even if your master kneeled, he might not obtain."
"Hiss—" The driver couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath. So Qian Qi was telling the truth? There really is something in the world that the Young Master lacks?!
He hurriedly reiterated, "Young Master, they said, the small one’s for Young Master Sikong! The big one is yours!"
Sikong Wang: ???
Did you just betray me after being told?
What loyalty from the Su Family servants, all complete diehards!
Sikong Wang snorted lightly, looking at the safe, "Why is the big one his?"
That~~ big a bottle! Why is it for Su Ang? Since when did Su Ang and Qi Qi get so close!
Sikong Wang sulkily said, "Did you guys secretly deepen your friendship?"
Su Ang slowly glanced at Sikong Wang, "Didn’t you hear? Paid 10 billion."
"She’s still good to me." Sikong Wang said happily, "Didn’t ask me for that much money~"
Su Ang shot a cool look at Sikong Wang, "That’s because you have no money."
So, she would go ask your dad for money.
Sikong Wang countered, "...If I became an S-Class Commander like you, I’d have plenty of money too!"
"Then work hard," Su Ang said, patting the box, his lips slightly curling, "Take your small share and, go, away~"
