After refining two whole batches of Purple Gold Pills, Jiang An finally stopped all his work for the day.
After some effort, a total of ten inferior Purple Gold Pills of slightly lower quality and five ordinary Purple Gold Pills of fairly good quality were successfully refined.
After tidying up all the various utensils in the kitchen and making them spotless, Jiang An finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She was now shrouded in exhaustion, and dragged her heavy body slowly toward her room.
After entering the room, she slumped weakly onto the soft carpet, first pouring herself a glass of sweet and delicious honey water, then taking out a box of delicious and tempting cream cake as a treat for herself to have a sumptuous late-night snack.
While enjoying her meal, she didn't forget to casually open the screen and check out the various messages posted by the players with great interest.
"Wow, I got the dungeon token! I can finally see the silver treasure chest!"
"Upstairs, don't get excited. Don't forget that you can only get the treasure chest if certain conditions are met!"
"Ugh! Why did I get a dungeon token from the chest? I could have at least gotten an empty chest!"
"The death rate in dungeons is very high!"
"Is there any powerful player who wants a dungeon token? I can transfer it to her."
"What are you thinking? We've already tested it. Once the box is opened, the dungeon token is bound to that player and can't be transferred at all."
"Hehehe, I didn't get it!"
... ...
Through the regional channel window, she was surprised to see that nearly a thousand players had successfully obtained dungeon tokens in just one day.
Jiang An, however, did not receive one. She continued scrolling through the information records, and gradually, a startling conclusion emerged—all the players who had participated in the first instance challenge had failed to obtain the instance token.
This left her with extremely mixed feelings; she wanted the generous rewards from the dungeon, but she was also afraid of its dangers.
Today, Jiang An did not go to the top deck restaurant to exercise, but instead came to the deck.
"Ding!" A sound suddenly rang out in the quiet night.
Jiang An stopped what he was doing and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Boss, I have a favor to ask. Do you still have any Purple Gold Pills? I'm injured and urgently need one, but I'm short on trading points..." Jiang An frowned upon seeing this message, feeling somewhat displeased.
Since learning that Sun Yuyang was an extreme simp, Jiang An gradually reduced her contact with him.
He always gave all the good things to his ex-girlfriend, while he himself didn't have much.
Sun Yuyang had bought one of the precious pills, Zijin Pill, but unfortunately, he gave it to his ex-girlfriend without hesitation the very next moment.
On the other side...
"Brother Yuyang, waaaaah, I'm so sorry, I used that Purple Gold Pill today. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd feel bad about it, waaaaah, if only I had known..."
The girl across from me was texting smugly, but her eyes were full of pride. She thought to herself, "So poor. She gave me a Purple Gold Pill and still wants it back. Now that it's in my hands, it's mine. How useless! She got ambushed at night!"
“I’m fine. I know Boss Jiang An. I’ll go buy her one. It’s just that I don’t have many trading points…” Sun Yuyang said hesitantly.
"Waaah, Brother Yu Yang, Xin Xin is so useless. I'm only alive because of your charity. I don't have a single trading point..." She rolled her eyes as she sent the message, her face full of impatience.
"It's alright, Xin Xin, don't blame yourself. At worst, I'll just owe her some trading points. Given our friendship, it's just one Purple Gold Pill!" Sun Yuyang, disregarding his broken right leg, comforted the girl opposite him with a face full of heartache.
He encountered a giant octopus while swimming today, and as usual, he kept his distance.
Unexpectedly, the octopus discovered him. After fleeing back to the ship in a sorry state, Sun Yuyang hadn't even had a chance to catch his breath when the octopus suddenly attacked in the night, bringing its companion—another giant octopus.
Sun Yuyang was attacked from both sides and suffered repeated defeats. In the end, he had to use his trump card to defeat them.
However, he also paid a heavy price: the cabin was completely destroyed, and the items he hadn't had time to put in his backpack were also destroyed.
At the same time, he suffered a fracture in his right leg and urgently needed medication.
"Yes, still the same price. Did you finish the one you bought before?" Jiang An asked Sun Yuyang, pretending not to know.
Sun Yuyang looked embarrassed upon seeing the message and replied somewhat awkwardly, "I've used it, bro. I'm a bit short on trading points, so I can only use half right now. Can I owe you the other half?"
Jiang An couldn't help but shake her head, feeling both pity and helplessness towards Sun Yuyang. She knew that Sun Yuyang was deeply in love with that girl, but she was only using him, only knowing how to take and never giving anything in return.
After thinking for a moment, she decided to be direct with Sun Yuyang: "I don't have many Purple Gold Pills left. Giving you one is already a favor because of our past relationship. But the price really can't be lowered any further, since this Purple Gold Pill is extremely precious. If you don't have enough trading points, you can also use some items as collateral. Once you have enough trading points, you can redeem the collateral."
"Boss!" Sun Yuyang's expression changed. The day before yesterday was Xin Xin's birthday. In order to buy her an item that she had always liked, he spent almost all his savings and even exchanged his special items for trading points.
What he possesses most now is undoubtedly the weapon in his hand. It's his most prized possession; what if he pawns it and encounters danger later?
“Okay, I have an excellent-grade axe here. I’ll pawn it to you first! It’ll be the other half of the trading points! I’ll come back when I’ve raised the rest.” A look of determination and resolve flashed in Sun Yuyang’s eyes.
"Okay!" Jiang An readily agreed. He took out a low-grade Purple Gold Pill from his backpack and uploaded it.
After taking out the Purple Gold Pill, Sun Yuyang swallowed it directly. Soon, a sharp pain shot through his thigh. He was overjoyed, knowing that the Purple Gold Pill was working. The sharp pain quickly turned into a tingling numbness.
"Xin Xin, don't worry, I just ate a Purple Gold Pill, I'll be fine soon!" He didn't tell her that he had traded it for the only weapon he had.
Sun Yuyang looked at Xinxin with a silly grin on his face. He felt that all his efforts were worthwhile. As long as Xinxin was happy, nothing else mattered.
Meanwhile, Jiang An turned off the light screen and continued exercising. She didn't take the matter to heart, after all, she couldn't persuade someone to be a simp.
The only connection between the two was based on business dealings.
Jiang An knew that Sun Yuyang had deep feelings for Xin Xin, but such one-sided devotion wouldn't necessarily be reciprocated. However, it was his personal choice, and no one else could interfere.
As for Jiang An, she was more concerned about herself.
