Chapter 337 Deep Virtual Reality 165

With a crack, a clap of thunder echoed across the sky, and large raindrops fell on the cracked ground, one drop, two drops, and soon, a cold wind carrying the downpour lashed against people, bringing a chilling pain.

Pedestrians shivered from the cold. Except for a few people without umbrellas, most people held umbrellas, wrapped their coats tightly, and hunched their necks as they walked against the cold wind and rain.

The small half of the stage was still flashing with dazzling neon lights, and the loud music was still playing, but the youthful rock and roll singing was gone. They were huddled under a small noodle stall to avoid the rain, but the tiny awning on it couldn't stop the rain that was being blown sideways by the wind.

As a result, they quickly got soaked. The red-haired girl sneezed loudly, and shivered as the cold wind blew. The boy draped his studded leather jacket over the girl and leaned outwards to shield her from some of the rain.

Looking down, the boy saw that the girl's lips, now pale after her lipstick had faded, and scratched his head. "Sister Amy, go buy some cold medicine."

"Need not."

The girl sniffed; it was cold, but also because of the aroma wafting from the noodle stall. "Yuan, how much did we earn today? Fifty Federal Dollars? It's better to buy more rice and noodles than a bottle of medicine. Make me a bowl of hot noodles tonight, and I'll warm up. I'm so strong, how could I give birth so easily... Achoo."

boy:......

"Take some medicine. You always told me that you should take medicine when you're sick, so why don't you follow the rules when it comes to yourself?"

Seeing Emily's flushed face, Ewan was worried; she had a fever. He placed his hand on Emily's forehead and was startled by the burning temperature. "No, even if you don't see a doctor, you have to take your medicine!"

Emily, who wanted to argue back, felt dizzy. Uncle Wei, who had just finished making a bowl of noodles, took out a tattered black umbrella and handed it to her, saying, "Keep out of the rain."

He paused, then pointed in a direction and said, "A new pharmacy has opened over there. The medicine is cheaper there. Take Emily there to take a look. If you don't have enough money, come back and borrow from Uncle Wei."

Jobs are hard to find, and these two kids don't have diplomas, so they earn money by performing on the street corner. They earn their living with their skills, which isn't shameful. It's better than those homeless people on the street who have both hands and feet but don't work and just stretch out their palms to beg for money.

The money he got was quickly used to buy alcohol, and when he got drunk, he would just fall asleep on the ground. Uncle Wei was a hardworking man who worked from dawn till dusk, and he looked down on that kind of person from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you, Uncle Wei!" Yu An helped Emily walk over there, and soon his pants, which were already half wet, were soaked all the way up to his thighs.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, You An finally saw the pharmacy that Uncle Wei had mentioned. It was very small, less than ten square meters, with only a row of metal medicine shelves and a long table inside. A single bed was placed against the wall.

"Hello, I'm here to buy cold medicine."

The pharmacy was guarded by a young man about the same age as him. His face, which was originally quite handsome, had a long scar across it, which made people feel scared involuntarily. Although Yu An was not scared, he still felt uneasy.

The young man looked at the girl next to You An, and tried to smile, but his smile only made him look more creepy. Seeing the two of them looking uncomfortable, he straightened his lips and became serious, which actually made You An feel relieved.

"She seems to have a fever. Do you want to buy just cold medicine or have a prescription filled? We also have some medicine here, or you can choose to have it injected, which will help her recover faster."

The young man pulled out a chair. "Sit down."

"Oh, okay." Yu'an helped Emily sit down and asked somewhat shyly, "Doctor, may I ask about the price?"

“Sure, my surname is Wan, you can call me Dr. Wan.” The young man turned on the screen. “These are our medicines. There are several types for treating colds and flu. If you want to buy some, I recommend this one, it only costs twenty federal coins.”

However, this young lady seems to have a fever. I suggest either a prescription or an injection. A prescription costs about ten Federal Dollars, while an injection costs fifteen Federal Dollars. The injection will help her recover faster.

Yu An was stunned and pinched her arm in disbelief. "It doesn't hurt. Looks like I'm dreaming. I knew it. Last month, I bought a box of cold medicine for 135 Federal Dollars. Haha."

Emily: "...Because you pinched my arm."
