Lin Ruhai was the most confused of them all, completely clueless about the situation, but instinctively he didn't interfere with his daughter.
—In officialdom, the most taboo thing is to pretend to know what you don't. When you don't understand something, just keep quiet and observe, and you've already won more than half the battle!
"Thank you, Goddess of Wealth."
Lin Daiyu smiled and thanked her, not in a hurry. Anyway, there were a hundred boxes in total, so she could just buy them all... It was only a matter of ten thousand taels of silver.
The opening of the box was accompanied by beams of white light, which startled Lin Ruhai and Jia Lian, who were seeing it for the first time!
Then.
Empty bottles, empty bottles, unknown pills, woolen socks, cola, thermos flasks, semi-finished fried chicken...
Soon the floor was covered with "cheap goods".
Lin Ruhai propped himself up, his eyes becoming serious. Even a fool would understand.
—The daughter paid money to buy the right to open the box; the contents inside were a mix of good and bad, it was all a gamble.
Daiyu, our Lin family has never had much luck...
After opening countless boxes, Lin Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief and with a flick of her slender hand, a "remarkable" yellow light shone forth! Even the brightness of the light was several times greater!
Everyone present perked up. "A porcelain vase?" Lin Daiyu asked curiously as she took it out.
Clap clap clap, the sound of applause rang out, and the young girl, the Goddess of Wealth, casually lowered her hand:
"Not bad luck. I managed to get a Yellow-tier item from a beginner's treasure chest: Tai Sui Evergreen Spirit Water. Consuming it can cure diseases and strengthen the body's vitality. It's quite a good spiritual liquid."
—Actually, it was the life potion for the first world's seed-forming plant. I made use of it and put it directly into the box after finding it.
The ball of light floating in mid-air is now whistling nonchalantly.
The unscrupulous system's actions brought even greater comfort to its host, who was equally unscrupulous. So what if the life potion was recycled? At most, the potency would be reduced, but it still had some effect.
A little dirt won't hurt you!
"Goddess of Wealth, will this be helpful for my father's illness?"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Lin Daiyu tightly grasped the porcelain vase, carefully opened it, and handed it to Lin Ruhai:
"Father, drink it!" Looking at his daughter's hopeful face, Lin Ruhai didn't grumble and downed it in one gulp!
Ling Xiao sat up straight, observing with great interest, also wanting to know how much of the life potion's potency remained.
—There's still a whole bottle left unused.
Those unaware of the truth, such as Lin Daiyu, thought that the Goddess of Wealth was concerned about her father and were extremely grateful. They secretly thought that they must have had a deep relationship with this Goddess of Wealth in their previous life.
The medicine took effect immediately; a rosy glow returned to Lin Ruhai's sallow face, and his eyes brightened slightly, making him appear no longer on the verge of death.
Lin Daiyu clutched her chest, tears welling in her eyes as she watched this scene, while even Jia Lian, who was uninvolved, seemed overjoyed.
Even bystanders felt this way, but Lin Ruhai, who experienced it firsthand, found his own improvement the most incredible.
It's like a piece of withered, dying tree receiving a little rain; though not much, it nourishes the dead tree for a time.
This feeling of taking a half-step back from the threshold of death can drive one mad with ecstasy.
"Thank you, Goddess of Wealth."
A dry voice came from Lin Ruhai's mouth. He looked at the young girl, the Goddess of Wealth. These words were sincere. No one understood better than him the bitterness his beloved daughter would encounter after losing him as her father.
If a child carries gold in the market, who can resist the urge to humiliate him?
"Pshaw, you're all getting ahead of yourselves. A mere Yellow-Rank item will at most delay his journey to meet the King of Hell. Jiangzhu, you better hurry up!"
The young girl, the God of Wealth, seemed somewhat impatient and showed no emotion whatsoever for the mortal's gratitude and the beautiful father-daughter relationship.
Gods cannot comprehend the emotions of mortals...
Lin Daiyu continued opening the chests, but naturally, she didn't find much. This time, without her saying anything more, sensing a glimmer of hope, Lin Ruhai personally brought her the silver notes.
Here, the analyzer in my hand finally gave the answer—it's not a terminal illness, but in ancient times it would almost be considered a terminal illness.
Lobar pneumonia is more common in men and worsens in winter and spring. It is characterized by persistent high fever and hematemesis in later stages.
Laughing loudly:
"This disease is very easy to treat; antibiotics are all you need, and the effects are immediate. It's a disease that can be completely cured."
The system couldn't help but wonder if Lin Ruhai was the host's destined sucker. Antibiotics were very cheap, only ten taels of silver per strip, but Lin Ruhai had to pay at least ten thousand taels of silver to get them.
A profit margin of one in a thousand? You won't find a business like that even if you search through all the criminal laws.
At this rate, becoming the world's richest person is just around the corner!
After receiving the silver notes, the people in the room stared expectantly at Ling Xiao, but she remained calm and composed, lowering her eyes and saying with a hint of sarcasm:
"Jiangzhu, I originally thought that plants and trees were indifferent, and that your being tricked into the mortal world would be of no benefit to you. I never imagined... that the mortal world is full of poisons..."
The system was impressed. The host's tone and expression were so genuine. In the entertainment industry, this would be worth at least a Golden Horse Award.
They couldn't hear what was said after that, but they believed they had already understood the most important point.
"Yu'er, you were a fairy in your past life."
This news left Lin Ruhai dizzy and even somewhat apprehensive.
A series of thoughts flashed through his mind, such as how the royal family would definitely want to control Yu'er once this news got out, and how there were so many other ambitious people...
Lin Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief; she had already suspected it, and now it was confirmed.
Among them, Jia Lian's thinking is the most unconventional. He thinks that if he pleases his cousin Lin more, he can rise to prominence with her!
Should he bring that shrew Wang Xifeng along too? Sigh, they are husband and wife after all. Jia Lian decided to write a letter to his wife later to let her know.
Join him in his sycophancy.
"Jiangzhu, there must be something in these remaining boxes that can save your father. Are you really going to draw it? You should think it through carefully. I'm not forcing you."
The young girl, the Goddess of Wealth, had a half-smile, her tone both seductive and dangerous, sending chills down one's spine.
Considering this person's behavior, which is not usually that of a benevolent deity, one can't help but wonder.
"Goddess of Wealth, there's no need to ask any further. Of course, I won't go back on my word."
Before Lin Daiyu could finish speaking, the God of Wealth burst into laughter, "Just kidding! Go open the treasure chest!"
This truly left everyone present feeling both amused and exasperated, yet unable to say anything.
As you open the last few treasure chests, a dazzling red light spreads out.
"We won!" That's what everyone was thinking.
And indeed, inside was a jade cicada, lustrous and exquisitely carved. The God of Wealth pointed, and the jade cicada slowly floated from the box to Lin Ruhai's forehead.
A faint voice came from behind:
"A red-tier treasure, the Jade Cicada for Avoiding Calamity. The cicada symbolizes rebirth. This jade cicada was carved in the leisure of a great god from the underworld and can protect one from death..."
