Chapter 23 The younger brother at the milk tea shop got ripped off.

"Brother Lin, what happened to my brother's leg?" His brother was an assassin, how could his leg be injured? Xu Yongyuan looked at his brother's wound, which was healing slowly, and was extremely anxious.

The team's priest, Lin Hongwen, sighed, looking distressed: "We were careless this time. We didn't expect that giant ape to have a hidden skill. It self-destructed at the last moment. Brother Xu was closest and his injuries were the most severe. I can only temporarily suppress the bleeding, but I can't heal him immediately."

Xu Yongfeng's team consisted of four people, all of whom were experts above level 50. The fact that such experts were injured by the monsters caused the onlookers to gasp in astonishment.

The longer the wound is left untreated, the more likely it is to cause long-term complications. Even Lin Ge, a level 50 priest, finds this troublesome. Can his brother's leg still be saved?

Xu Yongyuan thought that after renting a house in Xingxing Territory, he would have a comfortable life from now on. He never expected that his brother would suffer such a disaster before he could even enjoy it.

Oh, right, Star Territory!

As if he had just thought of something, Xu Yongyuan took out a glass bottle from his backpack. Before anyone could stop him, he uncorked the bottle and poured the liquid inside onto Xu Yongfeng's scalded thigh.

The cool water poured onto Xu Yongfeng's legs, and his tightly furrowed brows, which had been furrowed in pain, immediately relaxed a little.

In just ten minutes, most of the horrifying blisters subsided at a visible speed, Xu Yongfeng's wounds began to heal, and his skin gradually returned to its normal color.

Lin Hongwen's eyes widened. "Where did this medicine come from? It's more than ten times more effective than my treatment!"

Xu Yongfeng had also recovered. He propped himself up and looked at his younger brother in surprise.

Xu Yongyuan hadn't expected the potion to be so effective. Hearing this, he proudly puffed out his chest and raised his head: "I bought this medicine in the Star Territory."

"Star Territory? Another new shelter has appeared nearby?"

When faced with his brother's question, Xu Yongyuan hesitated for a moment.

If you call Star Territory a sanctuary, it has opening hours, and people who are not qualified to stay after opening hours will be asked to leave. But if you say it's not a sanctuary, it has the most solid barrier he has ever seen, as well as guardian magical plants.

Seeing that his younger brother hadn't spoken for a long time, Xu Yongfeng became wary. "You haven't been scammed, have you? How much did you pay for this bottle of medicine?"

Could his brother have been taken advantage of and ripped off?

Xu Yongfeng was prepared to hear an exorbitant figure, but his younger brother said nonchalantly, "It's not much, just one hundred and fifty."

One hundred and fifty? Well, his brother must have been scammed.

The burn repair medicine stopped Xu Yongfeng's wound from worsening, and then, with the help of the pastor, it had basically healed. Seeing that the injured person had recovered and there was no more excitement to watch, the onlookers dispersed.

Xu Yongfeng stood up, stretched his legs, and after confirming that he was alright, he picked up his usual short sword and walked out: "Let's go, let's go and have a look at this Star Territory."

"Huh?" Xu Yongyuan didn't follow his brother's train of thought and stood there stunned. Lin Hongwen, who was standing next to him, said with a pained expression, "Yongyuan, you've been sold out and you're still helping them count the money. Don't you think about it? Such good medicine, sold to you for only 150? Think about it again, are they going to take something else from you?"

"Wait, you guys don't think Star Territory is some kind of gang stronghold, do you?"

Xu Yongyuan finally understood what they meant and was both amused and exasperated. “You guys have really misunderstood. Star Territory isn’t what you think. If you really want to define it, it’s more like a commercial street where you can buy many things that have disappeared from the game world.”

As he spoke, Xu Yongyuan took out something new from his bag.

"Look, this is also what I bought in the Star Territory. It's a new cream puff that came out today. It's limited, and each person can only buy five."

He deliberately and slowly tore open the soft cake base, and the sweet aroma of cream instantly wafted out. "Guess how much it costs? Only 150 game coins each."

"Didn't you say there were five? Where are the others?" Xu Yongfeng's voice drifted over as he watched his younger brother eat alone.

Xu Yongyuan immediately stopped being cheeky and took out chocolates, egg tarts, cream puffs and other delicacies he had accumulated over the past few days from his backpack, sharing them with his brothers who were eyeing him covetously.

Xu Yongfeng, also a dessert connoisseur, was the first to take a cream puff, took a bite, and a look of nostalgia flashed in his eyes: "This taste... is so familiar."

Lin Hongwen took a sip of the chocolate and couldn't help but exclaim, "The texture and the taste are exactly the same as before!"

Amidst the exclamations of delight as everyone savored the long-awaited delicacies, Xu Yongyuan began to describe the Star Territory in great detail: the temperature-controlled enclosure at 24 degrees Celsius, the automatically replenishing vending machines, the spacious and bright buildings, and the swimming pool that only cost 50 yuan per hour...

Xu Yongfeng and his teammates exchanged glances, and Lin Hongwen couldn't help but ask, "Is it really that good?"

"Why don't you come with me and take a look? I've rented a place there for a month, so I have a place to stay!"

Xu Yongfeng was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's go take a look."

I came alone, but returned in a group.

With his elder brother's team by his side, Xu Yongyuan finally had someone to rely on. As he watched the entrance to Yunpei Town recede into the distance, he suddenly remembered the taste of that cream puff he had just eaten.

He quietly touched the apartment key in his pocket, and a smile involuntarily crept up his lips. It was wonderful; he and his brother finally had a decent home.

Lin Nanxing was unaware that a team of highly skilled players was about to arrive in her territory; she was currently busy moving.

As the lord of the Star Territory, she was naturally the first to move into the apartment building.

Although Lin Nanxing wanted to have a ceremonial moving ceremony, she didn't have much furniture or personal belongings. She packed them into her backpack and moved house in less than five minutes without having to move anything.

After moving in, Lin Nanxing opened the door and noticed some noise from the building next door. Wanting to be a friendly neighbor, he peeked out and exclaimed, "Hey, is that you, my neighbor?"

Shu Yi was displaying the spoils of a demon hunt in the shop window when he turned around and saw a curious little head peering out from the doorway. "Hmm."

Although Lin Nanxing hadn't had much contact with Shu Yi, she knew he wasn't a talkative person, so she didn't say much, just greeted him and went downstairs.

Shu Yi watched her leave, then silently looked away. Gazing at the pile of unfinished snacks on the other side of the shop window, he pondered whether he should give her a gift in return.

As soon as the milk tea shop was built, a lot of curious onlookers gathered around it. Lin Nanxing walked through the crowd, opened the door of the milk tea shop under their piercing gazes, and quickly slipped inside.

We don't know what the interior layout of the milk tea shop is like yet, so it's not suitable for operation at the moment.

The milk tea shop produced by the game system is different from the regular milk tea shop. It has no raw materials and does not require any manual operation. The entire counter only has a high-tech beverage machine and a half-person-high ice storage.

Lin Nanxing carefully studied the instruction manual provided by the system and immediately knew how to operate it.

Simply enter the type of milk tea you want, select the sugar level and ice amount, press the confirmation button, and the machine will automatically make a perfect drink.

Lin Nanxing was very satisfied with this efficient and convenient design. She just wanted to drink milk tea, but she had no intention of learning how to make it.

Currently, the milk tea shop is at level 1, and only three drinks can be unlocked.

After much deliberation, Lin Nanxing chose from a wide range of options three completely different flavors: jasmine milk green tea, pearl milk tea, and lemon tea, all of which were quite popular.

Lin Nanxing stood in front of the milk tea machine, impatiently entered "lemon tea", selected "half sugar" and "normal ice", and then pressed the confirm button.

The system automatically deducted 15 game coins, the machine emitted a slight buzzing sound, and soon a perfectly sealed cup of iced lemon tea was ready.

Lin Nanxing picked up the cup, deftly inserted the straw, and took a big gulp. The refreshing aroma and sour taste of lemon simultaneously hit her taste buds. She squinted her eyes in satisfaction, "It tastes really good."

Lin Nanxing finished more than half the glass in the blink of an eye. The water was gone, and the lemon slices in the glass were revealed. After seeing what was in the glass, her expression was one of surprise and delight.

After satisfying his cravings—no, after verifying the product's taste—Lin Nanxing changed the milk tea shop's operating status to "open for business," and the glass that occupied half of the shop's wall instantly became transparent.

The next second, the door of the milk tea shop was pushed open by someone, and the person who came in was an unfamiliar girl.

"Hello, welcome to Xingxing Milk Tea Shop." Lin Nanxing greeted customers with a friendly smile. "What would you like to drink? We have jasmine milk green tea, pearl milk tea, and iced lemon tea, all priced at 100 yuan a cup."

"So cheap?!" The girl's eyes widened. She had only come to visit the new building, but she didn't expect the drinks in the store to be so cheap. She knew that beer in the vending machine would cost 150 yuan.

"Naturally, our store operates on a low-profit, high-volume model, and our products are manufactured by a quality system that you can trust. If you don't want milk tea, we also provide ice cubes. A piece of ice the size of an egg only costs 10 game coins."

The items in the vending machine are all obtained by hunting monsters, and only Lin Nanxing can get them, so naturally he has to earn some reward for his hard work. However, the drinks in this milk tea shop are all produced by the system and have no quantity limit, so the price can be appropriately reduced.

The ice in the icehouse is a welfare benefit; the ice cubes can be put in your backpack and will never melt. You can take it out when you need it, and it will both cool you down and quench your thirst. The people here live such a hard life, so Lin Nanxing is willing to do a good deed within his ability.

The girl hesitated for only a second before making her decision, "Then I'll have one of each of the three, full sugar and extra ice!"

Lin Nanxing quickly entered the options into the machine, and a minute later, three cups of milk tea were ready. She packed the milk tea and handed it to the eagerly waiting girl, smiling as she said, "Here are your three cups of milk tea. Please enjoy."

The girl took the milk tea and the first thing she noticed was the water droplets condensed on the cup wall. These were liquid water droplets formed by the temperature difference between hot and cold air.

She gently touched the damp cup, her face filled with nostalgia. Back then, what she looked forward to most every day was going to the bubble tea shop near the school gate after school and having a cup of pearl milk tea that she could never get tired of drinking.

Unexpectedly, ten years after the apocalypse, she still has the chance to drink milk tea.

The girl almost reverently broke the seal. As the soft, chewy pearls flowed into her mouth along with the rich milk tea base, and the cool liquid slid down her throat, her eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.

Lin Nanxing didn't understand how a simple cup of milk tea could make someone cry, but seeing the little girl gulp down the whole cup of milk tea in one go and her expression brighten up, she looked away.

The milk tea shop successfully placed an order, and immediately onlookers rushed to place their orders. Lin Nanxing instantly switched into business mode, too busy to pay attention to the girl's melancholy.
