Chapter 45 Sandstorm Season 09 Li Fu Sugar Painting, the second train. ……

Thinking of this, Jiang Runian knocked on Feng Yuechen's door.

There was a man named Sui Yan sleeping in Fengyuechen's room. In order to monitor his physical condition at all times, he tiptoed sideways and walked out of the room.

"Junior sister?" Feng Yuechen's hands smelled of herbs, as if he had just changed the medicine. "It's so late, is there something urgent?"

Jiang Runian stood on tiptoe slightly and took a look at the condition of the patient on the bed. He was sleeping soundly.

She retracted her gaze, pulled Feng Yuechen to the railing, gently closed the door, and got straight to the point: "Second Brother, what do you think of the alien energy in this world?"

"I don't think it's a black-and-white thing," Feng Yuechen twisted a ball of ointment on his fingertips, "People here call it a 'virus', but I think it's more like 'devilish possession'."

——Toxins entering the body will attack a person's internal organs. But being possessed by evil thoughts is when evil thoughts overcome good thoughts and amplify the desires buried deep in the heart.

Before the mutation, they were all weak and fragile creatures, rabbits, turtles, flowers and fish. After the mutation, Little White became fierce and strong, Little Green became huge and solid, Sunflowers can illuminate and warm a frozen land, and Little Blue can travel amphibiously without being confined to the seabed. Plagues need to be eliminated, but obsession may instead help the weak.

It doesn't sound like something terrible that can destroy the world.

Jiang Runian raised his eyelids and looked at Feng Yuechen in silence.

A long, long time ago, before Feng Yuechen joined the Qingshan Sect, he was a well-known traveling doctor.

Although Jiang Runian had not personally witnessed the spirit of the second senior brother's medical treatment, he had heard a lot of mysterious rumors about him from the talkative Liu Yinshuang. For example, the second senior brother refined the elixir of immortality, which caused the resurrection of corpses in 18 emperors' tombs, the second senior brother gave cardiopulmonary resuscitation to an old lady in the enemy country, which caused a traffic jam for the enemy's army and horses, and the second senior brother brought back the dead to life and saved an entire plague village.

All in all, Second Brother has seen the world.

She believed what her second senior brother said.

"In a place where it's either you or me, using alien energy might not be a bad thing..." Feng Yuechen pinched the herbs brought back from Longnan Lake and thought, "It would be great if all mutations could be guided and controlled like Little White, Little Green and Little Blue."

It is impossible for Jiang Runian to subdue all the alienated creatures in Infinite Tomorrow. He has neither the qualifications nor the obligation to do so.

But at least this way she can ensure that the southwestern border is not troubled by this.

Jiang Ru Nian touched his chin and said, "Second Brother, is it possible for you to mix this potion?"

"...Junior sister, this is not the original Qingshan Sect."

"But you are still as good as ever."

"I can't guarantee it, I can only say that I'll give it a try. Besides...it will take a lot of time, money and energy to develop a potion that has never been made before."

Jiang Ruunian shook his head.

These are all minor issues.

The other world was already unknown enough, and with organizations like Guangyao making advanced research and development, the threat was even greater. No one knew if there were any more advanced organizations outside the Desert Eye or District 8.

Compared with surviving, the cost is a drop in the bucket.

only……

Feng Yuechen will definitely need a lot of medicinal materials to develop the potion. Currently, the source of materials at Qingshan Inn is limited. Where can she get so many medicinal materials?

The next morning, Li Fu, who was on a business trip, finally came back riding Xiao Lan.

Jiang Ruinian held the shrimps and crabs she had caught from the sea caves, letting Xiaolan lick them obediently in her palms without spilling anything. She touched the big guy's slippery forehead and said, "Xiaolan, you've worked hard."

Li Fu pouted, "...Why don't you ask me if I'm tired!"

Jiang Runian took out a golden sugar painting that looked like a little man. The crooked lines barely showed that it was a pair of ponytails. "Here, this is the first time I've made a sugar painting in my life. I'm going to reward our Fu Fu!"

The crystal clear sugar is like a piece of exquisite glass, shining with the scorching sun, and the sweet smell hits you, as if you can fall into a honey pot with one bite.

Li Fu clenched the wooden stick with both hands, and a proud expression gradually appeared on her beautiful and delicate oval face. She grinned and took a small sip.

With a crisp sound, the delicate syrup instantly melts on the tip of the tongue. The perfect sweetness is like throwing a pebble into a lake, spreading out like ripples, with a slightly bitter and burnt aroma. Every bite will not make you feel sick and will make you linger.

Li Fu was surprised: "Delicious!"

If we rank the difficulty of appeasing the Qingshan Sect, Li Fu would definitely be at the bottom.

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Fu added: "It's just a little ugly."

No one is perfect. Jiang Ru Nian behaves calmly most of the time, as if she has everything planned out, but there are many things she is not good at... For example, calligraphy and painting. She grew up in a refugee camp since she was born. No one taught her to write and paint. She started learning when she entered Qingshan Sect at the age of eight. However, her talent was really limited, and all her skill points were used for farming.

Jiang Runian's calligraphy and painting skills are so impressive.

When I made a birthday cake for Nini, the people of the Senmin tribe praised the cake for its natural and relaxed feeling. However, that was simply because she didn’t know how to apply the paste or decorate it…

She is well aware of her own strength.

Therefore, Li Fu's knife did not stab her, and it even hit her target.

Jiang Runian took Li Fu's white and tender hand, and there seemed to be stars twinkling in her crescent-shaped eyes: "That's right, my painting is too ugly. It doesn't look like Fu Fu, who can be brought to life with just a few strokes. It's simply a masterpiece of nature, like a treasure from heaven."

Li Fu: "...Don't do this, I'm scared."

Amidst all the flattery, Jiang Ruunian had already led her to the door of the inn.

After Jiang Runian's diligent planting throughout the hurricane season, the greenery outside Qingshan Inn has become very pleasing to the eye. The flower seeds planted yesterday have now sprouted colorful buds.

In the morning, she picked out the broken stones from Qiankun Pavilion and paved a winding path in front of the inn. Hidden among the grass and trees, it had a sense of tranquility like a winding path leading to a secluded place.

She cleared a small space at the door and planted a locust tree beside it, casting a canopy of green shade. Under the shade of the tree canopy stood a square table with two clock-like round plates on it. Bright red wooden arrows swayed gently in the wind.

Yesterday, I went to Mingzhu Town. Li Fu was the only one who had seen a real sugar painting stall. Before going to bed, she was still talking about the delicious food and fun things. In the blink of an eye, Qingshan Inn brought the sugar paintings back. Li Fu happily fiddled with the arrows, and then she found out... why were there only arrows, but no paintings?

"Anian, this is not right." Li Fu pointed at the blank space outside the disc. "I just went to Mingzhu Town today and saw that there are paintings here, including dragons, rabbits, flower baskets and lanterns..."

The more Li Fu spoke, the lower her voice became.

She seemed to realize something not so good - she was the only one in Qingshan Inn who could paint.

Jiang Ruonian pushed Li Fu onto the small stool and said with a smile: "Well! So from today on, the sugar painting stall will be handed over to you!"

Li Fu: “…”

Ahhhh, she has such a mean mouth!

She has to entertain customers, settle accounts, collect money, and now draw sugar paintings. She wants cows and horses to run fast but doesn't give them grass to eat. If you don't stop her, she will go on strike! !

Her suffering was not over yet.

Just after she entered the inn and drank some water, Jiang Runian called her again.

"Fufu, how did the discussion on the shuttle go?"

Liv wanted to cry.

She had just returned to the inn, and before she had even sat down on a chair, she was already talking about the New Year picture stall and the shuttle bus, and she didn't even want to let people rest!

Who can give her back the little junior sister who used to play with her?

Li Fu took out a few contracts from her pocket. "It's settled. Mayor Lin said she didn't want any money, so I offered to exchange free food and medicine for the shuttle bus's right of passage, and she agreed." Li Fu tilted her head. "I thought that since the food and medicine in the inn can't be resold anyway, I'll just treat it as a small amount of money for publicity. Oh, by the way, I also invited her to visit the inn another day... Niannian, did I do a good job?"

What do you mean okay?

That's just great!

She originally just wanted Li Fu to try to communicate. After all, Li Fu was indeed generous and eloquent, and had seen many big scenes since she was a child, but Lin Xianzhi seemed to be much smarter than Jin Xiulian and Meng Li. Last time Jiang Runian received a small wave of "kickbacks", the magical buff of Qingshan Inn had spread throughout Mingzhu Town. There was such an incredible inn a few hours away from the town. The rumors alone were enough to hit the shops in Mingzhu Town. If a fast round-trip shuttle bus was opened, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction.

Therefore, Jiang Runian did not expect it to be so smooth.

Jiang Ruonian bent down and rubbed her cheek: "Of course not, Fu Fu does everything well!"

Although it sounds like Qingshan Inn is at a disadvantage, paying to send customers to the Desert Eye to spawn monsters, but everything is difficult at the beginning. If this road is opened, there is hope for expansion. Moreover, such a cool little blue bus will be a conspicuous bag going back and forth between the two places every day. Even the players there will be reluctant to ask about it. In addition, Jiang Runian plans to end the trial operation of the shuttle bus and officially put it into use. If each person is charged 10 or 20 coins, he can get 70% or 80% back.

Li Fu's nose curled up proudly again. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, "Oh, there is something strange. When I left, I heard Mayor Lin and Xie Moyue talking. Only ordinary players were allowed to take the shuttle bus, but the elites of their adventure group were not allowed to leave the Desert Eye... Is this to prevent us?"

...Huh?

It's strange indeed.

Both the Senmin Tribe and Dawn Town encourage players in the adventure team to stay at Qingshan Inn first. After all, they represent the strongest combat power of the settlement. Natural disasters come at will, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow. Instead of letting everyone improve slowly, it is better to cultivate an elite team first. Now the adventure teams on both sides have opened up a gap with ordinary players, and they will soon catch up with the progress of Mingzhu Town.

The adventure group from Mingzhu Town is larger and more powerful. With the buffs, they might be able to conquer higher-level areas and gain unprecedented benefits...but Lin Xianzhi restricted their travel?

Jiang Runian spread out the contract and considered every word carefully.

In the appendix there was a neatly organized list of dishes and medicines that Lin Xianzhi had asked Xie Moyue to select when signing the contract.

She placed her index finger on the black words on the paper and read them line by line.

All attribute bonuses, physique bonuses, defense bonuses...most of the outputs that Xie Moyue finally decided on were defensive.

Qingshan Inn has dishes with all kinds of attribute bonuses. Half of the players who come here to eat don't care about the additional effects just to eat a mouthful of delicious rice, while the other half only eat those dishes with attack bonuses from beginning to end in order to fight monsters. Even if the defensive dishes include mouth-watering fried chicken, dragon bone and lotus root soup, players who value strength above all else don't care about these, they just want to improve.

But Mingzhu Town did the opposite?

Mingzhu Town doesn't allow the adventure group to leave, and also asked for so many defensive props... Are they trying to strengthen the defense line?

But Mingzhu Town is located in the center of the Eye of the Desert, surrounded by endless desert. It does not pose a threat like the Dark Hunters to the forest people. Who are they guarding against?
