"You want a Class B healing potion made by a Class C pharmacist? Sorry, we don't have any Class B healing potions made by Class C pharmacists here. Class B healing potions are common... but generally speaking, they're sold in pharmacy streets. If you don't believe me, try looking elsewhere."
"You want a potion with the efficacy of a B-level healing potion? One that can instantly heal a comminuted fracture of both legs? Sorry, I don't have such a potion here... I'm afraid such a potion can only be found on Pharmacy Street."
After being told by virtual waiters in several grocery stores that there was no such potion in the store, Qian Dahai sighed dejectedly. In fact, before he came, he knew in his heart that the possibility of finding such a potion was very small.
However……
No matter how small, you have to try it!
Looking at the most luxuriously decorated grocery store on the grocery street in front of him, Qian Dahai stepped in. Fortunately, this time Qian Dahai heard good news.
A female virtual service staff in a white uniform looked at Qian Dahai and said with a smile.
"Sir, are you looking for a high-grade healing potion for a friend with broken legs? We have a bottle of healing potion brewed by an A-level pharmacist, but it's a newly developed formula that hasn't been registered with the government, and it has certain side effects. Would you like to purchase it?"
"Are there any side effects? Can I take a look?" Qian Dahai's eyes lit up when he heard this.
The female virtual attendant smiled as she pulled a tube of clear potion from the counter. "This potion is very effective, but its side effect is that it causes black hair to grow all over your body... That's why, even though it's only priced at 15,000 interstellar coins, no one's buying it. Sir, do you need it?"
Qian Dahai was a bit excited when he heard the first half, but when he heard the second half, he was like a frost-bitten eggplant. He lowered his head, sighed, and left the grocery store. 15,000 interstellar coins—how could an ordinary student like him come up with that?
Like a wandering soul, Qian Dahai walked through most of the grocery street in a daze, but he still couldn't find the medicine he wanted.
However, at this moment, a small grocery store called 'Pearl of Lazefasia' suddenly caught his eye.
The one-story building, built of simple white stone walls, and the black and gray name of the general store didn't give off the color of the pearl at all. However, Qian Dahai stopped in his tracks, simply because the store's name contained the word "Xia," the same name as their school.
While wondering if it was a shop opened by a classmate from the same school, Qian Dahai walked into the shop.
But I didn't have any expectations for this simple little grocery store with no decoration at all.
The grocery store was small and simple. When I walked into the store, I found that there was only a small counter in the entire store and there was not even a virtual service staff.
Qian Dahai walked to the counter and looked down at the description next to the pharmacy in the store.
D-level healing potion (price: 2800 interstellar coins) (!) - can heal any fractures, external injuries and other serious injuries caused by fighting monsters and orcs.
(Note: If the patient is attacked by Zerg, please also purchase the D-level cleaning potion on the right to use together, so as to achieve a good healing effect! Dear, after purchasing and using it, please remember to give a good review, dear~!)
Qian Dahai: !!!!!!
Qian Dahai's eyes widened with excitement, and he wanted to buy the bottle of medicine right away. However, reason told him that even if he saw a suitable medicine in the grocery store, he had to check it again and again before buying it.
After all, it's not a medicine made by a regular licensed pharmacist, so you still have to be careful.
But when he thought about how he had walked half the street and still couldn't find the right medicine, Qian Dahai gritted his teeth and wanted to buy the bottle of medicine in one go.
"No! I still have to go to the store behind to see what's going on. Maybe there's something better out there.
"What?..." Qian Dahai suppressed his inner excitement and strode out of the store and headed towards other grocery stores on the street, but this time his steps were obviously much lighter.
Even though he still had doubts about the efficacy of the medicine in front of him, Qian Dahai couldn't hide the slight smile on his face.
but……
An hour later.
Qian Dahai's fat figure walked into the grocery store again. This time, Qian Dahai did not hesitate at all and directly clicked the purchase confirmation, because in the past hour, he had not been able to find such medicine in other grocery stores.
…
Ye Wenya, who was sleeping, heard a ding-dong sound in a daze. She scratched her head and got up, looked at the sales data displayed on the computer, and her eyes widened with joy. She didn't care about the shop ringtone that disturbed her at all, and directly clicked on the express delivery to receive the shipping information.
In just less than 5 minutes, a small flying robot knocked on Ye Wenya's glass window.
After handing the medicine in her hand to the little robot and filling in the address, Ye Wenya lay back on her original bed.
Express transactions within the virtual store on the Star Online platform will be directly deducted from the transaction order, so Ye Wenya does not need to go through the trouble of paying out of her pocket.
Ye Wenya smiled and lay back on the bed, closing her eyes and continuing to sleep. She felt that since she had sold one potion in such a short time tonight, she would definitely be able to sell more tomorrow, two, three, or even four bottles. It wouldn't be long before the remaining potions were all sold, and she would no longer have to worry about her livelihood.
But for 2 whole days.
Apart from this bottle of medicine, Ye Wenya's grocery store never sold any other bottle of medicine...
Ye Wenya: “…”
However, the transaction failed to be completed. Before the buyer confirmed receipt of the goods, Ye Wenya could not withdraw a single cent of the 2,800 interstellar coins in the online store account. She could only stay in the dormitory miserably and continue to eat the remaining food in the refrigerator.
And Xiao Hei...
I can only munch on cat food and drink boiled water.
Until the 3rd day.
The school announced that all faculty and students would gather in the auditorium to review and mourn the major accident that occurred during this practical assessment.
…
Qian Dahai, who was far away in West Asia College, had already obtained the green low-level light-type healing potion.
As soon as he received the express delivery from the robot, Qian Dahai immediately rushed to the dormitory where his friend currently lived. Because both of his legs were comminuted fractures, his friend had not been able to go to school for some time.
"Dahai, why are you here?" A burly young man with a shaved head looked at Qian Dahai who came in, and a faint smile appeared on his pale face.
"Lao Qiang, look what I brought you?! I bought some medicine on the interstellar internet that can heal your injuries! You'll be able to stand up soon!" Qian Dahai said excitedly, his eyes full of joy.
The burly young man called Lao Qiang was slightly stunned, and looked at his friend with a puzzled expression. Then his brows furrowed, his face darkening. "Dahai, what are you doing? Did you borrow money from a loan shark? A Grade B healing potion costs at least 20,000 interstellar coins. How can you afford such a potion? Return this potion immediately. I still have some money. Use it to pay the loan shark's interest. Don't delay any longer!"
"Lao Qiang is not what you think! I bought this potion from the Starnet Grocery Store. It only cost me 2,800 interstellar coins, and including postage it was less than 3,000... I have just enough money... Try drinking it and see if it works! This potion
The potion is so beautiful, I think it must be useful! " Qian Dahai picked up the potion in his hand and looked at the burly young man expectantly, hoping that he would drink it quickly and try its effect.
However, just as Qian Dahai finished speaking, the dormitory door opened and a young man in black casual clothes walked in. He had a head of brown hair combed back into a big bun and walked in a nonchalant manner.
As soon as he entered the door, he glanced at the potion in Qian Dahai's hand and sneered: "I say, Fatty Qian, don't waste your time here... Everyone knows that the color of the healing potion is transparent.
What the hell is this green potion of yours? And how dare you buy potions in a place like the StarNet Grocery Store? Aren't you afraid of being ripped off? What if this potion kills someone? Who's responsible? I'm telling you, stop harming Lao Qiang! You broke his leg before, and now you want to kill him too?
The young man spoke in a very bad tone, even to the point of being extremely unpleasant.
Qian Dahai turned pale almost instantly, and his whole body seemed to have been drained of strength. The hand holding the bottle of medicine began to tremble.
"Third Brother, what are you talking about?! I already said that what happened in the Monster Forest was an accident... Besides, the Star Network is strictly inspected now, even the potions sold in the grocery store are guaranteed. Don't talk nonsense here. Dahai, give me the potion, I'll try it and see if it works."
The burly young man patted Qian Dahai on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I appreciate your kindness. Even if this potion isn't that potent, you don't have to blame yourself later. After all, we bought it from a grocery store, so we won't suffer any loss!"
The burly young man said this without waiting for Qian Dahai to speak. He directly took the bottle of potion from Qian Dahai's hand and drank the bottle of low-level light healing potion in one gulp.
However, the moment he drank it, the burly young man who had been smiling originally seemed to have his soul sucked out in an instant. The taste in his mouth almost frightened him to death!
Clearly, what he smelled when he opened the bottle of medicine was the normal herbal fragrance, but what the burly young man took in his mouth was a liquid with an unconcealable fishy smell.
There was a smell of rotten earth, fishy and astringent, as if it was a mixture of the sour smell of rotten fish, shrimp and leaves that had been fermenting for more than ten days in the hot summer. It almost made the burly young man faint!
How can there be such an unscientific smell in this world??!
Even though he had never drunk potions before, he knew that potions shouldn't taste like this!
"Da Qiang, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly?... Is there really, really, really something wrong with this potion?" Although Qian Dahai looks strong, he is actually very timid, especially since the burly young man is his good friend and savior.
Seeing his friend's face suddenly become even paler and even had a blue-black look after drinking the potion, Qian Dahai suddenly panicked.
The third brother quickly stepped forward, slapped the burly young man on the back, and scolded him, "Lao Qiang, spit out that medicine in your mouth! Spit it out now! ... Qian Dahai, you jinx, get out of our dormitory right now! Even if you're Lao Qiang's good friend, you're going too far... You actually dared to give Lao Qiang this unmarked, three-no product? If anything happens to Lao Qiang, I will never let you go!"
When the third brother thought about his good friend of 4 years in the dormitory being dragged down by a loser, he almost got so angry that he started to beat him up!
then……
Lao Qiang originally wanted to spit out the medicine in his mouth, but he stopped right there. Instead, he felt guilty because of the quarrel between his brothers.
Lao Qiang made up his mind and swallowed all the medicine in his mouth!
Regardless of whether the potion Dahai bought was effective or not, it was all out of his heart. A good potion would be best, so that Lao San wouldn't have to bother Dahai again. A poor potion would also prevent Dahai from wasting money on random potions from going to grocery stores.
How could there be anything good in those messy grocery stores?
If there is good
The things have probably been picked up by others long ago, so how could it be their turn?
However, Lao Qiang felt that he had overestimated himself. After swallowing the potion, Lao Qiang almost had his eyes blackened by the strange taste in his throat. His throat, nose and lungs were filled with an indescribable suffocating and strange smell. Even his soul was almost scared out of his body by this suffocating smell.
With stars in his eyes, he spoke with difficulty, "Third Brother, I, I, I, I'm fine... It's just that this potion tastes a bit bad, I, I, I'm fine..."
"How come you're okay?! Look at what you've become?! Why did you swallow that potion just now?!"
The third brother was impatient and grabbed Qian Dahai by the collar, almost throwing him to the ground.
But at this moment...
The third brother suddenly opened his eyes wide, froze in place, staring straight at the sturdy young man's legs, his mouth so surprised that he could hardly speak.
I saw that the other person's legs, which were originally wrapped like two dumplings and put in plaster and completely unable to move, actually started moving by themselves!
Lao Qiang said as he moved, "Stop, stop, stop fighting. Just give me some water to drink."
However, this man was still unaware that his legs could move. Instead, he looked at Lao San and Qian Dahai anxiously with sweat all over his forehead.
"Lao Qiang, you you you you...your leg?! Can you move your leg?! Is your leg healed?!"
"What's going on? What's going on?! How come your legs can move all of a sudden?! Is it really that potion?"
"What can move? What's okay?" Lao Qiang was completely overwhelmed by the unpleasant taste of the potion and was still unable to react.
"Legs! Your legs!" Seeing that Lao Qiang had moved his legs to the edge of the bed, the excited Lao San let go of Qian Dahai with a snap and pounced on the burly young man.
10 seconds later...
A sharp scream pierced the entire boys' dormitory of West Asia College.
“Okay, okay, I’m really okay!!!”
…
The other side.
Ye Wenya came down from the dormitory building with other students. On this day, all the teachers and students in the school wore the gray-white military uniforms that represented the Imperial Royal Academy. They were solemn and dignified, yet they also carried a bloody atmosphere.
Everyone walked towards the school auditorium according to their usual positions. This time, in addition to the students themselves, there was also a group of special people in the auditorium.
They were the parents of the students who had died in the previous practical assessment.
The parents of these students were all wearing white and black clothes. They were crying with their heads in their hands, and the whole auditorium was filled with wailing.
Many students who had just entered the auditorium also had tears in their eyes. In fact, such things would happen every year during the actual combat assessment. All students who were admitted to the military academy knew almost on the first day of freshman registration that they might have such a day. Even the parents were clear about it.
Just this time...
There are so many students who have suffered.
There were more than 2,400 people killed, thousands of whom were seriously injured and are still being treated in hospitals.
Therefore, the school auditorium this time was many times emptier than usual, and many seats that were supposed to be occupied by people were now empty.
A sad mood spread throughout the entire auditorium. Principal Pei walked up to the podium with a sorrowful look on his face. He was wearing a black suit, and the dark circles under his eyes were almost invisible. The same was true for the other teachers following Principal Pei.
"I heard that three classmates in our class had accidents this time... Ma Lili, Zhang Chao, Xu Fei... None of them could come back this time." Huo Xinyue's voice choked with sobs, her eyes red.
Each class in the Department of Pharmacy has only more than 40 students, the smallest number among all departments. But precisely because of this, everyone in the class is very familiar with each other. Even though Ye Wenya and the other two did not play with Ma Lili and the others on weekdays...but so many people in the class got into trouble at once, and they felt particularly uncomfortable.
Ye Wenya sighed, not knowing how to comfort Huo Xinyue and Jian Jiawei. War has always been cruel. As a military academy student, they can only improve their strength at all times, protect themselves and the people around them.
