◎It's really weird, why would she be so friendly to a hostile race?◎

Leng Bingshuang glanced at her and said, "I can be wherever I want, why do you care?"

After saying that, he took the initiative to talk to Louis.

Xia Li looked at Leng Bingshuang's condescending attitude, smiled secretly, and didn't take it to heart. Then she opened the dialog box with Louis.

The sales interface displays a total of 10 items, including hair dye, white skin, purple contact lenses... almost all of them are props related to appearance.

However, there are still two items worth seeing. Xia Li reached out and clicked on the two potion icons at the bottom of the interface.

[Primary Antidote: Can cure mild poisoning (Note: Not available in dungeon mode)]

[Primary Invisibility Potion: Drink this to become invisible for 3 minutes (Note: Not available in dungeon mode)]

The Shia continent is extremely vast, and players may be poisoned by touching poisonous plants or eating poisonous wild animals while exploring various maps.

In a mild poisoning state, the player's mobility and thinking ability will be weakened; in a moderate poisoning state, the player will basically lose judgment; as for a severe poisoning state... the player's health will drop sharply to 0 within 1 minute, and then the system will deduct the player's gold coins and experience points, and throw them directly back to the resurrection point in the royal city.

There is only one way to detoxify your body - antidote.

To obtain antidote potions, players can obtain them through two life skills: gathering and refining.

Gathering skills need to be mastered to a proficient level before you can gather plants specifically used for refining medicine. The same goes for refining medicine skills, which also need to be mastered to at least a proficient level before you can refine basic antidotes. Learning life skills requires a large investment of gold coins. This alone discourages many players who are living a frugal life.

In addition, there is a certain chance of failure in the detoxification potion refining process. Once it fails, you have to start collecting from the beginning and start a new round of refining.

It can be said that refining medicine is a very time-consuming and costly process. Therefore, there are not many pharmacists in the miracle at this stage, and there are even fewer pharmacists who can make antidotes.

Louis actually still had 5 bottles of antidote and 2 bottles of invisibility potion left, and no one wanted to buy them. Xia Li immediately took action to buy them!

Louis's items are priced according to current market demand. Currently, antidote and invisibility potions are relatively scarce, and one bottle sells for 15 gold coins.

Xia Li felt a bit painful, but she still paid 135 gold at once and put all the potions into her backpack.

After all the operations, Xia Li found that Leng Bingshuang standing next to her was looking at something, but looking at her expression, it seemed that she was struggling with what appearance props to buy.

"Hey, do you think I look good in purple contact lenses?" Perhaps because she couldn't find anyone to ask, Leng Bingshuang turned her head and asked Xia Li in a bad mood.

Xia Li stared at her for a long time, then shook her head: "It's not pretty."

Purple is more charming and is suitable for mature big sisters like fish purple vine.

Leng Bingshuang hadn't expected her to throw cold water on him. She puffed up her cheeks in anger, put one hand on her waist and pointed at her with the other: "I'm saying, do you know how to speak? How can you say something is ugly in front of others?"

Xia Li: "But it just doesn't look good on you."

Leng Bingshuang: ...Okay.

"It doesn't look good, does it? I'm going to buy it today!" After saying that, he bought the purple contact lenses out of spite, spending 12 gold, and then changed his original black and gray pupils into purple. The whole person... immediately looked "unique".

This time Xia Li kept silent. It could be seen that Dark Storm was really rich. He was willing to spend 1,000 gold to buy an adventure scroll. What was wrong with spending only 12 gold to buy a pair of ugly contact lenses?

Happy, as the vice president, being happy is enough!

Xia Li turned her gaze away from the self-absorbed Leng Bingshuang and stared at the countdown on Louis's sales interface again.

She came at the right time this time, just in time for the last 3 hours of refresh. The next wave of items would be refreshed in 4 minutes, so she planned to wait a little longer to see if Louis would release the endurance potion.

Leng Bingshuang admired herself in the mirror for a long time. Finally, seeing Xia Li still squatting there, she asked her impatiently, "Why don't you leave?"

Xia Li: "You didn't leave either?"

Leng Bingshuang choked and said, "What do you want to buy?"

Xia Li: "What are you buying?"

Leng Bingshuang was so angry that she jumped on the spot: "Don't repeat my question, okay! I asked you first!"

Xia Li said calmly, "Who says I have to answer first just because you asked me first?"

"You...!" Leng Bingshuang glared at her angrily. She finally understood that this was a shameless super plague god who kept causing trouble for others!

Leng Bingshuang snorted heavily, not wanting to argue with her.

Xia Li didn't care and continued to wait for the next wave of refreshes.

The 4 minutes passed quickly. During this time, Louis changed floors again, going down from the sixth floor to the fifth floor. Xia Li and Leng Bingshuang followed closely behind, not falling behind at all.

The two of them clicked on the dialog box at the same time, and began to scan the screen at the same time, and then they both discovered the item that appeared in the sixth grid - endurance potion, and there were 30 bottles of it!

Xia Li took action immediately, and Leng Bingshuang also clicked to buy at the same time.

Sudden.

【System error, please try again in 3 seconds】

Leng Bingshuang blinked: "Error?"

Xia Li raised an eyebrow: "Wow, so you're also waiting for the endurance potion?"

Leng Bingshuang reacted immediately and shouted, "I was the first one to see the potion!"

Xia Li: "Didn't you see the system prompt that there was an error? That means we were both at the same time."

As soon as she finished speaking, the two of them attacked at the same time.

Then.

【System error, please try again in 3 seconds】

“You are not allowed to buy!!!”

Leng Bingshuang is a man of fiery temper, easily ignited. After failing the second time, he immediately decided to attack Xia Li!

Xia Li stood still and gave a friendly reminder, "There are patrolmen outside."

No player wanted to spend a few days in jail. Even the cold-tempered Missy had to grit her teeth and restrain herself a bit: "So what do you say we should do?!"

Xia Li thought for a moment and said, "How about splitting it equally?"

"That won't work!" Leng Bingshuang immediately retorted, "What if you buy all 30 bottles at once?"

She couldn't trust Xia Rilihua, a sinister and cunning person!

"Then you buy it first." Since she didn't trust her, Xia Li could only give in.

Although she didn't have a good impression of the entire Dark Storm Guild, as the saying goes, there are no eternal friends, and naturally there are no eternal enemies. If she had to choose between confrontation and cooperation, she would of course choose the latter.

Leng Bingshuang didn't expect that she would actually give in on her own initiative, so she smacked her lips a few times, raised her head and said, "Okay, then I'll buy it first. Don't say that I deliberately snatched it from you later."

Xia Li smiled and said, "How could that be? Even if I told others, no one would believe that this was something the Vice President of the Second Guild would do."

"Humph, you finally said something sensible." Leng Bingshuang didn't hear the half-sarcasm and half-sarcasm in her words at all. Instead, she shook her head happily and bought 15 bottles of potion at once. "Look, I'm a man of my words. The rest is yours!"

"Thank you." Xia Li bought the remaining 15 bottles, 6 gold coins per bottle, for a total of 90 gold coins.

The two of them went downstairs one after the other. President Storm was waiting for Leng Bingshuang in the lobby on the first floor. Seeing her happily coming down, he knew that the potion had been bought, so he stood up and said, "Let's go."

Then, he seemed to notice that Leng Bingshuang's appearance had changed a little. He paused and wanted to say something, but finally suppressed his words.

Leng Bingshuang didn't notice Baofeng's facial expression at all. She just smiled and nodded, saying as she walked out, "Luckily, the alchemist said 15 bottles per person, otherwise we might not be able to buy any endurance potions this time."

Hearing this, Bao Feng raised his eyebrows: "She bought this too?"

Leng Bingshuang nodded, then turned around and suggested, "Brother, why don't we train a few full-time pharmacists?"

She couldn't always come to Louis' place to stake out a place, could she? This time, she was lucky enough to have done so, and even ran into the alchemist. The two of them were able to reach a cooperation. If she ran into someone unreasonable next time, she was afraid she wouldn't just fight him.

And once she does it, she will be thrown into prison... and then she will definitely be taught a lesson.

Bao Feng had no idea what his sister was complaining about, but he was relieved to hear that she had finally offered some suggestions for the development of the guild. He nodded and said, "Well, I'll let Xin Zexi do it right away."

After returning to the guild, Xia Li discovered that Baili Xi and Qingzhengyu had gone offline. Not only that, Qingzhengyu's military academy classmate Baiguo and his sister Yu Ziteng were also offline.

The military has a lot of things to take care of. To be honest, Xia Li thinks that they are quite good at time management as they can spare so much time to manage the guild and upgrade characters.

So he went back to the warehouse, put 15 bottles of endurance potion on the shelf, kept one bottle of antidote and invisibility potion for himself as a backup, and stored the rest in the warehouse.

She only paid for the endurance potion, a total of 90 gold, and the rest was considered a gift to Fengyun Tianxia.

Her small treasury is not rich, but she is willing to do this for everyone. Fengyun Tianxia did not abandon her because of the conflict between her and Lieyan. Of course, she will help everyone to the best of her ability.

Now that the four main team members are not here, the matter of Scarlet Monastery can only be put aside for the time being. Anyway, there are still 2.5 days before the scroll expires, and there are still four chances left, so she is not very anxious.

Moreover, she had another matter that needed to be confirmed personally.

[Area Map: Bruce's Yard]

After walking around the entire yard, she found no trace of Bruce. In addition, she also found the word "pear" written by someone under the banyan tree.

The word was crooked and the imitation was extremely lifelike, as if Bruce had really struggled before his death and finally used all his strength to write down the word.

Xia Li chuckled and was about to turn around when suddenly, a shadow in the corner of the yard caught her attention.

She walked over, lifted Shadow's cloak, and after seeing his face clearly, she sighed, "Didn't find the portrait?"

Collins huddled on the ground, feeling aggrieved. He raised his watery eyes to look at her. Although his voice was cold, it unsurprisingly revealed the same aggrieved look as his face: "Bruce is dead... I can't wait for him to come back..."

It's hard to imagine how such a powerful demon hunter could become as pitiful as a puppy in the royal city.

Xia Li wanted to scold him, but she was afraid it would only make him feel worse, so she softened her tone and said, "The portrait is right at your feet. Bruce's studio is right below. Nothing's lost, don't worry."

This is really weird, why would she be so friendly to a hostile race?

Hearing that there was a trace of the portrait, tears flashed in Collins' eyes: "Then can we go down?"

"No," Xia Li said firmly, "We can only get in through the goblins."

There is a special map in Miracles that can only be entered through specific NPCs.

Collins' handsome face dimmed again. After a while, he suddenly said, "I heard other humans in the royal city spread the word that you killed Bruce."

"What do you think? Did I kill him?" Xia Li asked him back.

Collins shook his head: "Not you."

Xia Li smiled and said, "How do you know it wasn't me?"

Collins raised his chin and looked at her seriously: "Intuition, the intuition of a demon hunter."

Hunting is his talent. No matter whether the enemy is in the open or in the dark, his natural sense of smell has almost never made him fail. Of course, the human in front of him is an exception.

Collins thought to himself, and for a moment he couldn't help but worry about her: "Your own people are slandering you, what are you going to do?"

what to do?

Xia Li's lips curled up slightly: "Of course, to find the real murderer."
