Chapter 849 Spending Points
Xiao Xiaosan could recognize some words, but he was also frightened by the densely packed medicine names on Manbao's paper. He didn't recognize many of the words. He asked with a tingling scalp, "Doctor Zhou, do you want all these medicines?"
Manbao nodded, "Yes, as long as they are raw."
Xiao Xiaosan folded the list and decided to take it home to show his father.
Manbao took the change from the shopkeeper, calculated the price and gave it to Xiao Xiaosan. He personally sent him to the door, then stood at the door and waved goodbye to him.
Xiao Xiaosan ran away without looking back. He felt that the look in Manbao's eyes when he was looking at him was particularly terrifying.
Shopkeeper Old Zheng stood behind the counter, holding a cup of tea, and shook his head, saying, "Girl, when will you change your impatience?"
He shook his head and said, "When it comes to doing things, it's just like being a person. You have to take it slow so that you can be steady. If you are so impatient, you won't get any benefits."
"Who said we can't eat it? My sister-in-law makes delicious tofu. If you don't grab a few more chopsticks quickly, there will be none left."
Shopkeeper Lao Zheng: ...
Having said that, Manbao also followed the advice of the shopkeeper Lao Zheng. Mainly because she found that it was useless to be anxious. It all depended on whether the herbal farmers could find the raw medicinal materials she wanted.
Anyway, she made money.
Manbao collected all the raw herbs and put them into his backpack. He put it on his back and said, "Boss, Doctor Ji, I'm going home first."
Shopkeeper Old Zheng looked at the time and estimated that there wouldn't be many patients coming, so he waved his hand and said, "Go, go."
Manbao carried the basket on his back and left.
Bai Erlang went out to play, Bai Shan was reading in the study, and Mr. Zhuang was instructing him. Zhou Silang and Zhou Lijun were preparing to go home tomorrow, so they went shopping today.
Manbao quietly slipped back into his room, took out the herbs again, identified them one by one, and then gave them to Keke for collection.
Koko was so happy to have collected something for the first time. He suggested, "The host can fix this method."
Manbao also felt that this method saved effort and time, but it didn't save much money.
But, never mind, she is not short of money now anyway.
Manbao gave all the herbs to Keke, propped up his chin in anticipation and asked, "Keke, how is it, have you upgraded?"
Keke: "...Host, I think what Shopkeeper Old Zheng said is right. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. I just included it, and the entry hasn't come out yet. However, Eucommia ulmoides is a known entry, it just hasn't been included. Based on its importance, its points are 1,300."
As soon as he finished speaking, Manbao heard the ding-dong sound of points being credited to his account. At the same time, another ding-dong sounded, and Keke announced, "Sixty-five points."
Manbao quickly said, "Please draw more, 650 points, I don't mind at all."
Koko ignored her.
Manbao was very disappointed to see that it followed the rules so well.
Koko: "I will inform the host when the remaining points are down."
Manbao sighed and wandered around the forum. Seeing all kinds of questions posted there, he couldn't help but post a question, "I want to upgrade my system, but my system is always unwilling to take more points from me to upgrade. What should I do?"
Manbao was about to log out after posting, and planned to come back to check in the evening, because according to her experience, the posts she posted usually took a very long time to get a response, and most of the people who would reply to her were forum users with whom she had business dealings.
But unexpectedly, this time she heard the ding-dong ding-dong sound of messages before she had time to log out. She was a little curious and clicked to check. Only then did she find that in a short period of time, there were already many replies under the post, and they were all strangers she had never met.
First floor: "Everyone come and see, there is a fool here!"
Second floor: "I've only heard of people complaining about the system taking too much, but I've never seen anyone complaining about it taking too little. Come on, come on, let's meet this friend named Manbao. If you have too many points, we don't mind helping you to digest some of them."
Third Floor: "It's not easy for us to earn points ourselves, but it's quite easy to share points with the system. For example, we can buy a lot of things in the encyclopedia, both practical and impractical."
"For example, if you use the system to purchase something that far surpasses the technology of this time and space, the system will take a lot of commission. At worst, you can use the points to bribe your own system and buy it some programs or something. I don't believe it won't need them."
Fourth Floor: "This is a fishing post, right? I don't believe anyone would want to give points to the system for free. Earning a few points is so hard. Last time, I dug underground for three months just to get a piece of ore, and I didn't dare let anyone know."
Manbao asked Keke, "Can I still buy you a program?"
Koko said, "It is not recommended that the host do this, because if the main system determines that I have accepted bribes, I am in danger of being revoked and the host will no longer be assigned to the system."
In other words, I will lose myself and you will lose the system.
Manbao dismissed this point in his mind, ignored the doubts, shouts and speculations from different floors, and only focused on the useful suggestions. Soon Manbao figured it out.
"If they hadn't told me, I would have forgotten that you also get a commission when I buy things from the encyclopedia."
Koko: "Congratulations, host, you actually remembered it."
Is there anyone who has pity for it?
He recognized the host. Apart from buying a very, very expensive electric baton from it in the early years, the most things he bought from him were books. He also deliberately chose to buy them when the encyclopedia was on sale.
The books in the encyclopedia were not expensive, and she especially liked to read the cheap ones. She would only glance at the very expensive science books and not even look at them a second time, let alone buy them.
So over the years, the points it earned from the host purchasing this piece were so few that it even forgot there was such a channel to earn points.
Manbao became excited. It is a bit difficult to earn points now, but it should be easy to spend points, right?
Manbao ran excitedly to take a look at her total points, and then went into the encyclopedia to read books. She first bought all the books that she had been collecting but was reluctant to buy, and then paid the encyclopedia to engrave the books according to the language of her world, and then plunged into the encyclopedia to continue choosing books.
Keke couldn't help but stop him, "Host, although I also want to upgrade, have you ever thought about how you are going to get rid of all the books you bought? What if others ask..."
"What's the big deal? I'll just leave it here with you. I'll take one out every once in a while and say I bought it outside. There are so many books in the world, who can possibly know them all?"
Koko was relieved when he heard that she was not planning to take out all the more than 200 books at once.
Because Manbao had purchased a large number of books, Keke received a handsome reward from the encyclopedia. After a few ding-dong sounds, Keke said, "I've upgraded. Now my scanning range is within a thousand meters."
Manbao exclaimed, and couldn't help but rolled up his sleeves and said, "Koko, let's continue."
"Host, are you really not going to check your points?" Keke said, "Although you still have quite a few points now, I don't recommend spending them like this. If you need points again in the future due to an emergency..."
"That's right," Manbao suppressed his emotions. Although he felt a little disappointed, he still said happily, "It's great to be able to level up. We will try to level up before Shangsi Day. This will increase our chances of finding something when we go back into the mountains."
The next update will be around 6:00 PM
