The King of Black Fog

"The situation is turning grim," one said.

"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.

Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...

Chapter 223 Spending Money at the Special Operations Bureau (Part 2)

After delivering the armor, Zheng Qing couldn't help but smile wryly, "The technical department is going to scold me. These 20 sets were supposed to be for sale, but they were actually for internal staff. In the end, you bought them all, Miss Yaochi."

She glanced at the four people in front of her again and couldn't help but ask, "Can I ask again, why are you unwilling to join the Special Operations Bureau?"

Li Qianxia looked at Li Changzhou, and Li Changzhou looked at Yang Qinglan.

Yang Qinglan’s voice was calm and elegant: “To put it philosophically, there are too many material, social, and secular troubles, so people have no time for existential, philosophical, and religious troubles.”

“That’s right!” Li Changzhou agreed wholeheartedly. “If people are restricted by daily life, they will not easily encounter the major limitations of life.”

“You do have some philosopher potential,” Yang Qinglan said with a smile.

"What can't I do?" Li Changzhou straightened his back even more.

Zheng Qing suspected they were showing off their affection, so she looked towards Yaochi.

Yaochi's voice was equally elegant, but with a touch of alluring languor: "My reason is simple: I can be the emperor, why should I be the empress?"

...Zheng Qing suspected that she was also showing off something, perhaps an S-level instinct?

“Let’s keep watching,” she said, steer the conversation back on track.

After looking at the props, the next items are one-time consumables such as talismans.

Its functions are varied, such as speeding up, exorcising evil spirits, healing, and defense.

The price was much cheaper than the props, and Li Changzhou and his group were very tempted, but in case something better came along, they didn't rush to buy it.

Yaochi is different.

“From there,” she pointed to the beginning, “to here, give me a hundred of each.”

It's another 50,000 game coins, and the amount is after a 20% discount and then rounded down.

Such a generous gesture attracted not only the three well-off but also the players from the Special Operations Bureau.

After passing the talisman area, the next section is the elixir area.

“You definitely need this,” Zheng Qing said confidently, pointing to a white pill in the cultivation tank. “The Hundred Vegetable Pill is made from vegetables grown from seeds in the game. It is extremely nutritious, with one pill being equivalent to a meal. It saves you time eating and can also be taken back to the past, which is like carrying dry rations with you. It can also prevent enemies from poisoning your food.”

Both are very useful.

First and foremost, it saves time.

Even some young people who like playing games are so "busy" that they almost don't want to eat or shower, let alone players who are in a hurry to train and complete tasks?

At this point, simply consuming one pill can save at least 10 minutes—and it's also extremely nutritious.

Secondly, it could be used to travel back in time to prevent the enemy from poisoning them.

No one can guarantee what will happen to them, so it's always a good idea to carry some food with you.

As for preventing poisoning, needless to say, there are countless poisons in the world, and even immunity to all poisons is useless.

Li Changzhou had been poisoned by food in 1880.

"I don't need it anymore, there are alchemy players in the team," Yaochi said with a smile.

Zheng Qing looked at Li Changzhou and the other two, then heard Yang Qinglan ponder, "Officer Zheng, do you accept pills?"

"Collect...collect the pills?"

That's right, the reason Li Changzhou suffered food poisoning in 1880 was entirely because he wanted to try the food in America in 1880.

The S-rank item, the Jade Cauldron, appeared in Yang Qinglan's hand, which was as white as a jade cauldron.

A cyan pill, enveloped in a white halo, flew out of the small jade cauldron.

Li Changzhou introduced it in a very serious manner:

"The Thousand Vegetable Pill is a pill made from vegetables grown from seeds in the game. It is extremely nutritious, with one pill being equivalent to a day's meal. It saves time on meals and can also be taken back to the past, serving as a kind of portable ration. It can also prevent poisoning."

"In addition, it can also: quench hunger and thirst; whiten and beautify the skin; promote gastrointestinal motility and improve constipation; prevent diseases such as high blood lipids, high blood pressure, and high blood sugar; and the ancients in the 21st century had a certain life-prolonging effect from long-term consumption."

The last paragraph sounds like an advertisement.

Zheng Qing: "......"

“One—” Li Changzhou glanced at the official price of the Hundred Vegetable Pill, 1 game coin, “Two yuan.”

"How many?" Zheng Qing received a notification from the logistics team.

The way they ask is even more extravagant than asking about the Jade Pool – they just directly ask how much the other person has! Our motherland is truly amazing!

Li Changzhou looked at Yang Qinglan. He only knew how to take the pills; he knew nothing else.

“A lot.” Yang Qinglan didn’t know the exact number either.

As Li Changzhou's vitality grew stronger, although the size of the Honey Pot World remained unchanged, its vitality became increasingly vigorous. Vegetables ripened every day, and the variety was abundant while consumption was minimal, making it virtually inexhaustible. Most of these vegetables were used by Yang Qinglan for alchemy.

Now even the livestock are fed highly refined elixirs, making them all look like celestial beasts and even more adorable.

This didn't stop Li Changzhou from slaughtering one every day with swift strokes, preventing them from developing a bond, and the fact that the meat tasted better and better was also one of the reasons.

Zheng Qing called over a staff member, counted the pills, and bought them all after confirming that there were no problems.

The unit price is 2 game coins, and the three people earned a total of 20,000.

Li Changzhou also rounded down the price for the other party and agreed to a long-term cooperation.

For the vast number of players in the Special Operations Bureau, this amount of pills is a drop in the ocean, but just for the sake of disease prevention and a certain degree of life extension, the Special Operations Bureau has to buy them.

Moreover, it can be used to study alchemy.

The country has a player with the innate talent of Shennong, who can supply vegetables in large quantities. There is no shortage of the quantity of Bai Shu Dan (a type of medicinal herb), but the quality is lacking.

Yang Qinglan's Thousand Vegetable Pill is at least four or five levels higher than the Hundred Vegetable Pill. To use a technological analogy, it's equivalent to spending money to buy an alien spaceship.
