Gu Fan found it very strange. Lu Ya was just standing in front of Meng Lianying's cell without saying anything. Meng Lianying, who had been pretending to sleep on the wooden bed, could no longer lie down. He rubbed his head and sat up, looking at Lu Ya in surprise: "Cousin? When did you get here?"
Lu Ya made way and signaled the police to open the door.
Meng Lianying stopped pretending and raised his chin towards Gu Fan: "She is a retail investor friend I met outside, Gu Fan. I want to take her away with me."
Lu Ya looked at Gu Fan: "Retail investors?"
Gu Fan understood his suspicion and pointed at the hole in Meng Lianying's right trouser leg and said, "I am a wood-type mutant. I was the one who healed his injury."
Generally speaking, cultivators of the water and wood elements will look more watery and lively, and the same is true for those with special abilities.
This explanation can not only explain why Gu Fan, a retail investor, has such good skin, but also perfectly hide her flesh-growing and blood-replenishing pill.
Meng Lianying cooperated by raising his right leg.
Lu Ya glanced at him and asked Gu Fan, "How did you get in?"
Earlier on the phone, he only told the police not to touch Gu Fan's backpack and had no time to inquire about the inside story.
Gu Fan said embarrassedly, "I was selling medicine at a stall, and the police identified me as a drug dealer selling fake medicine."
Meng Lianying continued to cooperate and introduced Gu Fan's fictitious S-level wood-type mutant grandfather to Lu Ya.
Lu Ya: "So, the medicine in your backpack is real?"
Gu Fan nodded.
Lu Ya asked someone to unlock the door for Gu Fan, and he took Meng Lianying and Gu Fan to find Officer Wang.
Officer Wang was already handling another case. When he saw Lu Ya, he stood up. Before he retired, he was a member of the Lu family army, so naturally he had great respect for Lu Ya.
When negotiating with Officer Wang, Lu Ya was just a decoration to serve as a deterrent, while Meng Lianying stood beside Gu Fan and spoke for her.
Hearing that Gu Fan had an S-level wood-type master grandfather, Officer Wang finally wavered and asked someone to bring Gu Fan's backpack over.
The backpack returned to Gu Fan's hands. Gu Fan kindly poured out a hair growth pill and handed it to Officer Wang, saying, "Please try it. I really don't need to lie to you."
Officer Wang: ...
Although her words were convincing, the effect of this medicine was still too magical to be true.
"Try it. If it's fake medicine, you just continue to follow the procedures." Lu Ya suddenly said.
His words were like military orders to Officer Wang. He no longer hesitated, took the black pill and threw it into his mouth, ready to die.
The drug's full effects would take an hour to fully take effect. During that hour, Lu Ya went to see Director Zhao. Officer Wang took Gu Fan to the archives department to register and gave him a communication bracelet. This bracelet integrated identity authentication, merit point account, and in-base communication. Every citizen and outsider in the base could apply for it once free of charge. It was non-transferable and could not be misused.
Gu Fan wore a storage jade bracelet on his left wrist and a communication bracelet on his right wrist.
After all, she was a cultivator with a quick mind, and she quickly mastered several uses of the communication bracelet.
Looking at the bare amount in the account, Gu Fan asked Meng Lianying: "One thousand points, does it still count?"
Meng Lianying smiled and said, "Of course."
After saying that, he transferred the money to Gu Fan.
Gu Fan was very happy. According to the information she had collected, one thousand points were enough for her to live frugally in the base for three months.
At this time, Officer Wang felt something strange on his head. It was very itchy, yet strangely comfortable.
“It’s grown, it’s grown!”
Meng Lianying was the first to notice the changes in Officer Wang. On the white scalp that was shining under the lights of the police station, a layer of black stubble was slowly emerging like bamboo shoots after rain, and the hair on other parts of his head also became black and shiny. Just over ten minutes later, under the watchful eyes of several policemen, the bald Officer Wang actually gained a thick head of black hair that made him look ten years younger!
"Really? It actually works!"
"Miss Gu, do you have any more? I want to buy some too!"
“I’ll buy it too!”
"Why are you joining in the fun? You're not bald!"
"My wife is losing her hair. I gave her a hair growth pill, which is more effective than giving her a diamond!"
The hair growth pills were being snapped up by a crowd of police officers. Gu Fan was very kind and didn't raise the price due to the large crowd. He still sold them for 100 merit points per bottle. Unfortunately, he only had ten bottles in his backpack, and it was difficult to remove the remaining stock from the jade bracelet in front of everyone. He sold nine bottles in one go, and the last one was snatched up by Meng Lianying. He casually transferred 100 points to her.
Gu Fan looked at the top of his head. He was so young, but he was also losing his hair?
Meng Lianying said confidently, "I'll save it for later!"
The pressure of survival in the apocalypse is immense. Who can guarantee they will never lose their hair? Be prepared!
"Miss Gu, is this medicine permanent?"
"Normally, yes, but if you have bad lifestyle habits or deliberately pull out the hair, the hair that grows back will continue to fall out."
"When will Miss Gu have the goods?"
"I can't say for sure. Wait for my notification. Once I'm settled in the base, I'll open a pharmacy...store. You can buy it there later."
"Miss Gu, what other medicine do you have in this bag?"
When Lu Ya came down from the second floor, she saw Gu Fan surrounded by policemen, who kept buying things from her backpack, and Meng Lianying was also snatching them.
"This bottle is for treating colds. Yes, colds. No matter how severe the condition, it will cure you instantly. The price is 100 points."
"This bottle reduces noise and relieves heat."
"This bottle removes scars and acne."
"This bottle is laxative."
Lu Ya watched from a distance and noticed Officer Wang's thick hair. He frowned slightly. Is there really such an effective medicine?
"This one is a bit more powerful. It's called the Beast Repellent Pill. If you don't want to attract the attention of monsters, take it before you act. It will mask your scent. The effect lasts for exactly 24 hours. No matter what level of monster, it won't be able to locate the person who took the pill based on the scent."
Meng Lianying and the policemen all fell silent, looking at what Gu Fan held in his hand with eagerness.
Gu Fan smiled and said, "Good things are of course more expensive. This bottle costs 10,000 points."
The grade of the Beast-Repelling Pill is higher than that of the Flesh-Growing and Blood-Replenishing Pill. Gu Fan is unable to refine it, and the stock she has is all exchanged for with the sect's contribution points.
This bottle of beast-avoiding pill is also the last bottle of pill in the backpack.
Ten thousand points made all the police give up.
Firstly, they could only earn more than 3,600 merit points after working diligently for a year, so 10,000 was too high a price. Secondly, they didn't have to leave the base, so they didn't need things like the Beast Repellent Pill.
Meng Lianying could afford it, and just as he was about to ask for it, someone behind him said, "I want it."
Gu Fan looked up and saw Lu Ya's awe-inspiringly cold face.
Having never seen it with her own eyes, Gu Fan had no idea how powerful these S-level experts on Earth were, but Lu Ya's aura reminded her of the swordsman who wiped out their sect. With just one sword, the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, killing hundreds of people.
She didn't dare not sell it to Lu Ya, and no one dared to compete with Lu Ya. The two of them delivered the goods and transferred the money at the same time.
When Gu Fan lowered his head to verify the amount of merit points, a friend request popped up. The applicant was: Lu Ya.
This is the third person who wants to be her friend today, following Meng Lianying and Officer Wang.
The Xiuzhen Continent also has communication jade tokens, something similar, right?
Gu Fan readily agreed to Lu Ya's application.
All the medicine was sold out. Gu Fan followed Lu Ya and Meng Lianying out of the police station. There was a black SUV parked outside. Even though Gu Fan didn't know much about cars, he could tell that Lu Ya's car was much newer and better than those driven by the mercenaries.
Just like top-level cultivators use high-level magic weapons, low-level cultivators just use a flying sword.
At this moment, Gu Fan completely understood that this Earth was no different from the cultivation continent. As long as there were people, there would be a gap between the rich and the poor.
Lu Ya had a dedicated driver, and he sat in the back seat.
Meng Lianying couldn't let a rare guest like Gu Fan sit in the passenger seat, so he left the seat next to Lu Ya to Gu Fan and went to the front.
Gu Fan didn't understand the etiquette of riding a car, so he sat down calmly.
Night had already fallen, and the street lights were sparsely lit. Looking around, there were tall buildings in the distance.
Meng Lianying leaned over his seat and spoke to Gu Fan, "Have you been hanging out with the old man outside all this time? Have you ever been to any base?"
Gu Fan nodded: "Grandpa has a strange personality. He doesn't like to go to crowded places. He only likes to find herbs and make medicine."
Lu Ya: "How do I refine it?"
It turned out that he was also interested in her affairs. Gu Fan glanced at him and whispered, "Actually, my grandfather and I both have the Wood and Fire elements. There's no electricity outside, so we can't use high-tech equipment. So, my grandfather found an alchemy furnace and created his own alchemy method."
Meng Lianying looked at her with even more enthusiasm: "You also have the Wood and Fire elements. Did you also learn alchemy from your grandfather?"
Gu Fan smiled and said, "My talent is not good. Grandpa said I am only at C level. At present, I can only make hair growth pills and scar removal pills. These are useful for ordinary people, but not for people with special abilities."
Meng Lianying quickly encouraged her: "Who says these medicines are useless for people with special abilities? Many people with special abilities are bald, and scar removal pills will also be sought after by female people with special abilities."
Gu Fan: "I hope so. I just want to find a place to settle down and sell medicine to support myself."
Meng Lianying: "That's easy. We have a room available in our villa. You can stay there for free."
Lu Ya glanced at him.
Meng Lianying's expression changed. He left Gu Fan and spoke to Lu Ya with a bitter face, "Cousin, I'm an adult now. I know what I should and shouldn't do. Can you please stop treating me like a child? I know you're doing this for my own good and are worried that I'll get into danger, but I'm an A-level psychic after all. Why can you take people who are less powerful than me out there and risk their lives while I have to stay in the base like a coward?"
"Cousin, you are humiliating me."
"Cousin, eagles are forged through hard work. I don't want to be a flower in a greenhouse."
Meng Lianying became more and more excited as he spoke, with spit flying out of his mouth. Gu Fan turned his head in time and moved closer to the car window to keep a distance from his mouth.
The black window glass reflected her face and a little bit of Lu Ya.
No matter what Meng Lianying said, Lu Ya had no expression on his face, and looked indifferent and unwilling to disobey.
Gu Fan felt a little sympathy for Meng Lianying. Although she had no backing, no one restricted her freedom.
After an unknown amount of time, a black SUV stopped in front of a villa.
Meng Lianying slumped dejectedly in the co-pilot seat.
Lu Ya got out of the car with an expressionless face. Before closing the door, he said to the driver in front of him, "Make one more trip and take them back."
Before Gu Fan could react to where he was going, Meng Lianying in front of him suddenly jumped up, stretched his neck and shouted at Lu Ya: "Cousin, you are wise!"
After shouting, he kissed Lu Ya hard.
Gu Fan was confused. What did kissing mean?
These earthlings are sometimes normal and sometimes weird.
The author has something to say:
Xiao Meng: Kiss = blowing a kiss.
Gu Fan: What is a flying kiss?
Xiao Meng: Well, cousin, please demonstrate it to her.
Lu Ya: ...
