Chapter 166 A near miss
The couple who were resting in the pharmacy finally saw their son wake up in the afternoon.
Lin Jiang's mother hugged her son who had woken up and almost cried again, "My son, you scared me terribly this time. You must tell me if you feel uncomfortable next time."
Lin Jiang felt very embarrassed. He didn't want to make his parents worry, but he didn't expect to make them worry anyway.
He was drowsy due to fever today, but he was still somewhat sensitive to the outside world. When the city lord took him to Xuantian City, he could feel the cold wind blowing across his hot cheeks.
"I thought I would be fine. I took the medicine a little late and it wouldn't happen again."
In fact, he should have taken medicine as soon as he started to feel uncomfortable, but unfortunately he was reluctant to spend money on medicine and thought he could just bear it.
Unfortunately, the game world is not the same as before, and if you are sick you must get treatment.
Lin Jiang's father did not blame his child. He understood his son's thoughts and said, "We will leave for home soon. Dad will make you whatever you want to eat." He got a chef card at the beginning of the apocalypse and learned to cook from his wife.
This time the potion was indeed obtained with the help of Xuantian City, but when they discovered that Lin Jiang was seriously ill, it was their city lord who helped him, otherwise it would be hard to say whether he could get the potion.
So they decided not to stay here overnight and had no intention of settling down here.
Ke Qun was somewhat surprised by the couple's decision. He thought that after this incident, even if they didn't consider themselves, they would decide to stay in Xuantian City for the sake of their children.
Lin Jiang's mother helped her son up and said to Ke Qun, "This time, in addition to the help from the Lord of Xuantian City, our Lord Ke is also your savior. Thank you very much."
Lin Jiang had a smile on his face, and looked at Ke Qun with bright eyes, "Thank you, City Lord Ke."
Ke Qun was very happy, even happier than when he had flirted with the coolest girl before. "It's okay, just take care of yourself in the future."
However, I felt a little regretful that I didn't say goodbye to Lord Ying.
Ke Qun bought a batch of medicines at the pharmacy, and the store manager followed the city lord's instructions to take out the stock and sell it to him.
This time, Lin Jiang managed to escape danger and save his life, but it also made many people realize that being infected with negative conditions in the gaming world is no easier than being sick before.
A serious case of typhoid fever can be fatal.
Potions for treating negative conditions began to become the main medicines produced in pharmacies in various city-states.
Lu Jiu returned to the City Lord's Mansion and changed back to her own identity. She checked the email and found that Ke Qun had sent her several silver coins as money for her to buy medicine.
She took the money and slumped on the sofa. "I never thought that typhoid fever would worsen into pneumonia and I would be so seriously ill."
When she first saw the child, she could clearly feel the heat emanating from Lin Jiang's body from a close distance. It was a burning sensation. If it were in the previous world, he would probably have been burned silly.
"The system has long said that if you are infected with negative status, you must seek treatment in time. It is unlikely that you can get through it on your own."
However, this has also sounded the alarm for many people, urging them to pay attention to their personal information and be aware of any negative influences at any time.
"It seems I need to make more of this medicine, and then let the store manager try whatever potions he can make. Who knows, maybe they'll be useful someday."
This medicine for treating typhoid fever was suddenly made by the store manager one day. At that time, she thought that some people might catch a cold in winter, so she asked the store manager to make more.
"If we don't restrict NPCs' freedom of expression, they will know much more inside information than we do."
He knew that Lu Jiu didn't have much management over the NPCs. As long as they were in charge of their duties, they could do whatever they wanted and Lu Jiu never restricted them.

Over there, Ke Qun brought Lin Jiang back to the city-state and placed all the medicines bought in Xuantian City on the shelves of his own shop, and asked residents with children to give priority to buying medicines for treating pneumonia.
The remaining medicines can be purchased freely.
Lin Jiang returned home and opened the door. His two younger brothers and sisters rushed over like cannonballs, but they were very gentle when they hugged Lin Jiang's thighs.
They knew their brother was sick.
Lin Jiang's younger brother asked, "Brother, are you still feeling bad? I went out and bought you some delicious buns with your favorite mutton filling."
The younger sister next to him was not to be outdone, "I also bought chicken legs. Yesterday, I saw that you didn't eat much meat, so you gave them all to me and my second brother."
Lin Jiang was not feeling well last night, so the big chicken leg basically went into his younger brother and sister's stomachs.
But both little guys remember it.
"Brother is much better now. I will eat everything you bought. Thank you."
The two little kids started to smile. They were happy that they could do something to make their brother feel better.
After returning to his room, Lin Jiang's mother asked him to take a tonic. After taking it, he became drowsy and very sleepy.
He had suffered a serious illness and needed to continue recuperating. Lin Jiang's mother covered him with a quilt and came out.
Lin Jiang's father has gone out. He wants to buy some fresh vegetables and meat to make a nourishing meal for his eldest son.

When Ke Qun returned to the city-state, he was in such a good mood that he whistled. Many residents in the city had seen his behavior today. Although the potions sold in Jile City were not as effective as those sold in Xuantian City, his city lord was at least trying hard to maintain stability in the city.
Feng Qi also heard about Ke Qun's deeds today, and felt that this man had really changed.
So when he saw Ke Qun, he walked over and greeted him leisurely, "City Lord Ke, you behaved like a man today."
Ke Qun scratched his hair and laughed unruly, "I've always been a man, okay? Such a young child needs help, how can I, as the city lord, just sit back and do nothing?"
Moreover, the medicine in his city-state was not as good as that in Xuantian City, otherwise the child's illness would not be uncontrollable.
"But honestly, it's better to choose a high-level NPC for the shop. I used to only care about the quality of the equipment and ignored the importance of potions. Thank you for sponsoring me to open a branch of the pharmacy."
Feng Qi covered his face and chuckled, "I am also a member of Paradise City, and the most important thing is that I like you."
She always speaks frankly and has never bothered to use the green tea trick in her daily life. She just does whatever she wants. Anyway, her face will make it easier for her to get what she wants.
But Ke Qun didn't really like her, he just treated her as a strategy.
But he is not a bad person, otherwise she would not have chosen to come here.
Ke Qun only cares about his newly opened branch. In the future, the old store will produce some ordinary potions and mainly put resources into the new store. The high-level NPCs have a terrifyingly high utilization rate of materials.
He had inquired about this at the Xuantian City Pharmacy. The store manager NPC hadn't concealed anything about his utilization rate. Thinking that the beautiful NPC could reach 99.9% of the raw materials, he felt a surge of excitement in his heart.
With such a high utilization rate, plus the tempering fruit, even if he sets the price the same as Xuantian City, he can still make a lot of money.
Caring about the residents in the city is one thing, and making money is another. Ke Qun feels that there is no conflict between the two.
He looked at Feng Qi and said, "I might be able to use the money I earned from opening the new store to pay you back."
Just because Ke Qun could accept gifts from beautiful women calmly in the past doesn't mean he doesn't know how to give back.
