A flashy luxury car was scrapped, so Lu Ya took out the SUV again. Of course, this time he was the driver.
Gu Fan sat beside him with a heavy heart.
Lu Ya concentrated on driving, as if nothing had happened just now.
Gu Fan looked out the window and silently calculated the accounts.
There is still a batch of medicine in the storage jade bracelet. If she raises the prices of all of them, it may not be difficult to earn one million merit points.
But she couldn't expose the storage jade bracelet. Then, in the eyes of Meng Lianying, Lu Ya and others, she only had a small amount of pills hidden on her body. If she wanted to make money, she could only rely on the herbs she brought back this time.
Thanks to Lu Ya, she also harvested twelve A-level monsters on this trip. She kept the crystal cores and internal organs for herself, and sold the remaining leather armor. Together with the merit points for killing A-level monsters, she could probably sell them for 200,000 points?
After settling the bill, Gu Fan stopped being a coward and said to Lu Ya, "I'm sorry, I was driving too fast and caused you to lose your car. But don't worry, I will definitely compensate you for the original price. It's just that I just arrived at the base, and the only valuable things I have are those A-level monster corpses you gave me. When I get back to the base, I'll exchange them for merit points. I'll pay you back part of it first, and I'll pay you back the rest slowly after my pharmacy opens. Is that okay?"
Lu Ya suddenly stopped the car.
Gu Fan looked at him in confusion.
Lu Ya glanced at her and said, "After our trip to An City, I thought you and I were already friends."
Gu Fan: ...
Apart from the arguments about healing, collecting herbs and exploring the bottom of the lake, the two of them hardly talked to each other. Is this what it means to be friends?
However, an S-rank expert and creditor was willing to be her friend. Gu Fan immediately showed an expression of flattery: "I am so weak that I dare not approach him."
Lu Ya said: "Making friends only depends on whether you get along well with each other, it has nothing to do with your strength."
Gu Fan lowered his head, silently recalling what had caught Lu Ya's eye about him.
The man's right hand suddenly stretched out and showed her the screen of his communication bracelet. Gu Fan took a closer look and found that Lu Ya had actually opened his merit point account. There was a long string of numbers on the account. Gu Fan gave up after counting to 100 million and looked at Lu Ya enviously.
Lu Ya retracted his arm and said, "I've long lost count of how many monsters I've killed. The merit points I've earned from killing monsters and military merit combined equal the number you just saw. So I don't care whether you can compensate me with one million or not."
Gu Fan didn't believe it and questioned in a low voice: "If you don't care, why did you have that expression when the car broke down just now?"
Lu Ya tilted his head, looked at her and said, "Love has nothing to do with price. For example, if I accidentally stepped on a snow lotus on the top of a mountain and broke it, what would you do?"
Gu Fan would feel distressed. Such tenacious and precious flowers would at least have some meaning if they were refined into medicine. It would be a complete misappropriation of resources to waste them.
So she also understood why Lu Ya felt sorry for the car.
"I'm sorry." She apologized again, sincerely.
Lu Ya smiled, a rare gesture: "It's okay, just be careful with your speed next time you drive."
After discussing this matter, Lu Ya continued driving.
Gu Fan thought about it and still felt bad. Although Lu Ya didn't care about the one million, his exemption of her responsibility was a huge favor. Gu Fan didn't like to owe favors to others. Even if they were friends, she didn't want to be the kind of friend who could cheat others out of a large sum of money and then easily make up for it.
What's more, Gu Fan didn't think that Lu Ya really regarded her as a friend. He didn't seem like someone who liked making friends at all.
"I still want to make it up to you. Before Grandpa sent me to the base, he kept telling me to be cautious and protect myself. I shouldn't be too kind and get into trouble, but I also shouldn't be greedy and harm others for my own benefit."
After thinking about it, Gu Fan once again brought up "Grandpa".
Seeing her serious expression, Lu Ya thought for a moment and said, "Since you insist, I will accept your compensation. However, merit points are useless to me, so I want to change the way I compensate you."
Gu Fan: "You say."
Lu Ya: "After returning to the base, I will join forces with the military to kill the S-rank snake monster. By mid-July, our Lu Family Army will go to An City to clear out the monster. Every member of the Lu Family Army is an elite soldier, and I want to do my best to save the life of every soldier. I invited you to be my accompanying physician for this reason."
As he spoke, Gu Fan's guilt towards him slowly disappeared.
A 27-year-old young man dared to act schemingly in front of her.
If Lu Ya hadn't mentioned this, Gu Fan might not have noticed. But once he did, Gu Fan connected the dots between Lu Ya's reactions before and after the accident. He had deliberately given her a flashy luxury car to drive, deliberately indulged her in speeding, deliberately pretended to doze off at a critical moment to cause the accident, and then deliberately acted magnanimous, retreating in order to advance, intending to use favors to trick her into accepting his invitation.
Gu Fan kept an apologetic look on his face and asked in surprise, "You still want me to be your accompanying physician?"
Lu Ya shook his head and looked at her meaningfully: "You are too timid. I don't want to force you."
Gu Fan suddenly couldn't see through him anymore.
Lu Ya continued, "The army has a dedicated rear medical team. All of their members are C-level Wood-type psychics and ordinary military doctors. They don't have to fight monsters on the front lines, but are solely responsible for treating injured soldiers who are carried down. I'd like to invite you to join the Lu Family Army's medical team. You only need to accompany the troops once a year. Once you return to base, you can move freely without being restricted by the army."
Gu Fan: "The rear medical team, do they really not have to fight monsters?"
Lu Ya: "No, A-level and B-level wood-type medical personnel will be on the front lines to treat soldiers at any time. C-level personnel have poor attack power and poor healing ability, so they are more suitable to stay in the rear. Moreover, we will also leave enough troops in the rear to ensure that monsters cannot invade."
Gu Fancai doesn't believe in any guarantees. As long as he goes out, there will definitely be risks.
But Lu Ya was willing to go to such lengths to utilize her wood-related abilities. Gu Fan was a little worried that if she continued to refuse, Lu Ya would get embarrassed and make a promise, removing the toast and replacing it with a penalty drink.
"Okay, I promise you, but I'm really afraid of taking risks. Can we discuss a number of times I can accompany the army? After we're done, I won't have to go anymore." Gu Fan looked at Lu Ya with pleading eyes.
Lu Ya didn't think twice and immediately responded: "Twice, what do you think?"
Gu Fan smiled: "Okay, okay, the young commander is really a good person."
As a strong man who can bully the weak at will, Lu Ya was really nice to her. Just now, she was really afraid that Lu Ya would ask for too much and ask her to join the army ten or even a hundred times in one breath.
He only went there twice and stayed in the relatively safe rear medical team. He was able to repay Lu Ya's favor without offending him. Gu Fan was satisfied.
She was in a good mood, and her joy showed on her face.
Several words emerged in Lu Ya's mind: timid, irritable, cunning, and simple.
Some apparently contradictory characteristics can appear on her at the same time.
He had schemed against her anyway.
Holding the steering wheel with one hand, Lu Ya took out a dark-wrapped gift box from his space and handed it to her while paying attention to his surroundings. "Thank you for joining me. Here are some snacks to help you pass the time on the road."
Gu Fan already knew their writing. He took the gift box and saw that the snack inside seemed to be called chocolate.
She opened the box and a special fragrance wafted out. There were many small packaging bags in the box. Gu Fan picked up a bag and tore it open to look at the long snacks inside. She licked it cautiously first.
It seems very sweet.
Gu Fan took a bite, hmm, it was a mellow taste she had never tasted before.
Since it was just to kill time, Gu Fan started eating them one by one. He ate five pieces in a row and was still tearing the packaging.
Lu Ya became even more convinced that she was a retail investor.
"Chocolate is high in calories, so it's best not to eat too much at one time."
Gu Fan stopped biting the chocolate, tilted his head and asked him, "What does calorie mean?"
Lu Ya: "It's just that it contains a lot of sugar and fat. Eating too much will make you fat."
Gu Fan understood a little bit. It was just like those boxed lunches. It contained a lot of things that were useless to the human body. But this was too simple for her. She could eliminate it by practicing at night.
"That's okay, I'm not afraid of getting fat." Gu Fan continued eating.
Lu Ya didn't look at her, but her golden ratio figure popped up in his mind. He just didn't know if the golden ratio could be maintained if she developed the habit of eating chocolate.
——
Four days later in the afternoon, the two returned to the base.
Lu Ya drove her all the way to the villa where Xinghe and others lived.
The gate of the villa was still closed, but Gu Fan couldn't wait to go in. He unbuckled his seat belt and was about to get out of the car.
Lu Ya sat in the driver's seat without moving. He only asked, "I promised to take you to visit Modern Pharmaceuticals. Do you still want to go?"
Gu Fan paused as he pushed the door open, then turned around and asked, "You must be quite busy, right? Can Xinghe and the others take me there?"
Lu Ya said, "They can only take you to visit some free museums. Pharmaceutical companies won't allow outsiders in, and military research bases are even less likely to give you a chance."
Gu Fan understood. If she wanted to visit modern pharmaceutical manufacturing, she could only follow Lu Ya.
"I want to go. When are you free?"
Lu Ya: "Are you anxious?"
Gu Fan was not in a hurry, as she still had some chores to deal with.
Lu Ya: "Today is June 18th, and I have to go back and forth to An City. Let's set it on the 30th of this month. I will contact you when I return."
Gu Fan had almost forgotten about the black snake in An City. Hearing that Lu Ya really had to go, and considering the favor of the box of chocolates, Gu Fan kindly reminded him: "The black snake looks much more difficult to deal with than the wind bear. Isn't your grandfather also an S-level expert? You should go together. It's safer with more people."
Lu Ya: "The old man has to guard the base. If he leaves the base, it must be for something more serious."
Gu Fan: "Who are you going to take with you?"
There are only five S-level experts in the Jiangnan base. Apart from Lu Ya's grandfather and grandson, the remaining three are marshals of the other three armies. They are all in their fifties or sixties. Can Lu Ya, a young man, really command them?
Gu Fan was afraid that Lu Ya would act impulsively and die outside.
The more S-level expert there is, the safer the Jiangnan base will be. Only when the Jiangnan base is safe can she rest assured.
For his own sake, Gu Fan also hopes that Lu Ya can live well.
However, before Lu Ya could answer, Fenghuo and Meng Lianying ran out like monkeys. When they saw Lu Ya's car, Fenghuo rushed to the passenger window and looked inside with wide eyes.
Lu Ya gave Gu Fan a look that told him to get out of the car.
Gu Fan had no choice but to remind everyone to be careful, then pushed the door and got out of the car.
"Fanfan, why did you come back so late? How are you? Are you not hurt?"
"With my cousin here, how could Fanfan get hurt?"
After Meng Lianying finished arguing with Fenghuo, he wanted to say hello to his cousin in the car. Unexpectedly, before his hand touched the body of the SUV, the SUV suddenly drove away, causing him to almost fall down!
"Hey, it seems like someone's flattery was in vain!"
Meng Lianying kicked Fenghuo, but Fenghuo dodged swiftly.
Gu Fan looked at the two people chasing and playing with each other, and finally found the sense of security of being in a safe place.
