Chapter 6
Immediately following the previous message, the account of Sister Lan, who had been chatting with her, hurriedly sent a message.
No, that's not the case. We believe in you and are ready to wait for you to come back in 7 days.
"Then can I not get any potion? I just want to go back safely." Li Hao replied while looking at the barrage.
--As for the medicine, it is also our plea. If there is such a medicine, many people will be cured. There are 85 million disabled people in our country. Some of them have never seen the light, and some have never run or jumped.
Li Hao didn't relax her brows at this moment, nor did she agree to the other party's words. If it were any other time, she would be kind, but now she was in a state of anxiety and fear. She really didn't have the mood to think about anything else.
Your safety is the premise of our actions. (Account of Sister Lan, the housing manager)
Without the potion, how can you prove you've truly traveled through time? Do you rely on these videos? (07623123)
The two comments came out almost simultaneously. Looking at the comments on the screen, Li Hao closed her eyes and let out a long sigh. She could tell that the person holding Sister Lan's name and the person holding the digital account were not the same person. But... perhaps one was playing the good cop and the other the bad cop.
In the conference room, Lin Lan and Wang Bing had already started arguing.
"Wang Bing, Director, do you really want Li Hao to get the medicine? It's not mandatory to get the medicine to prove it. There is still so much time, we can find other things to prove her innocence." Lin Lan felt sympathetic towards Li Hao's experience. This girl was still very strong after the sudden change. She did not give up on herself and was trying hard to survive.
They can continue to think of a better plan to help Li Hao obtain the potion, there is no need to force the other party.
"You know what? I just think she's so selfish. With a national treasure right in front of her, she's letting it go because of a little heartache. People should contribute to society when it comes to the collective good. I'd have taken the initiative long ago. Besides, I'm just asking her to get the potion, not really asking her to sacrifice herself. If I wanted the potion, I'd have to consider her return before it would be useful. Why doesn't she do anything? We've tried to find a solution for her, but she's unwilling to do it." Wang Bing said, very dissatisfied. He didn't understand why Li Hao was hesitating. Shouldn't she be working hard to prove that she had truly traveled through time?
Wang Bing felt that Li Hao's awareness was too low. It was impossible to get her to buy the potion on her own initiative. She had to understand the real Li Hao. He felt a sense of imbalance. Why did such a miracle happen to such an ordinary woman? Why not him? If only he... He remembered the dream he had last night. In a magnificent otherworld, he had reached the pinnacle of power, calling the shots.
"I think we should respect Li Hao's opinion." Li Maoxue, who had been silent, spoke up. After saying this, he also typed out a barrage of comments.
Li, we respect your opinion. You decide the next steps. I will fully support you.
Li Maoxue uses his real name as his username. Li Hao's impression of him is based on the texts he taught yesterday, and he is a capable person.
Li Hao finally nodded, perhaps out of resignation, or perhaps for the sake of the patients. Indeed, as they had said, she needed something to prove herself, and if they hadn't shown up on the first day, she might be in danger now. She couldn't possibly fall out with the only person she could communicate with, Danmu.
With Li Hao's nod, the next step is how to execute it.
Although Wang Bing and Lin Lan are unhappy now, they still have to continue with their work.
--Li Hao, go have dinner first today. After dinner, go to the snake woman's shop and change your bracelet and ring.
This time she tried to speak, ordering with halting words. "This, 2. This, 1."
Li Hao was very worried that he hadn't said it correctly. Fortunately, the boss took the money without any reaction and then gave him the change. Obviously, he passed this hurdle.
This time she ordered an extra portion of meat, wrapped it in a paper towel and took it away. Although the meat would not last the next day, it was still good enough to eat in the evening.
The second time he opened the Snake Witch's shop, Li Hao, who had been mentally prepared, was much more natural this time. Seeing the Snake Witch looking at him while she was sorting things, he lowered his head, put the bracelet and ring on his hand, and held it out.
"Give."
Hearing the girl speak, the witch Shalia raised an eyebrow. "So she's not a mute anymore. She's not as radiant as she was at the beginning. It seems the little princess is suffering here."
If Li Hao knew what she was thinking, he would definitely complain. After coming here, she didn't even have the mood to put on makeup, let alone take care of her skin. She didn't eat for the whole day and vomited yesterday. You can see how haggard she looks during her live broadcast.
The bracelet and ring were also very exquisite. This time, Shalia also offered a very fair price, 6 gold coins and 3 silver coins. Now she had 8 gold coins and some silver and copper coins, which made her very wealthy.
Li Hao looked around the shop, hoping to find the potion here, but unfortunately the Snake Witch's shop was more like a grocery store. Although there were many things, there was no potion that Li Hao wanted.
Li Hao was not panicked. She didn't know the name of the potion, but she remembered its appearance. She took out a tissue and used eyebrow pencil and lipstick to draw a bottle of potion.
Shalia was even more curious about this girl. She didn't know the common language, yet she came from a good family. Her possessions were exquisite, yet she had no power at all. She kept using the square object in her hand as if to communicate.
"This is the Dragon Flame Potion." Shalia said. Her shop naturally did not sell potions.
Li Hao listened carefully and repeated the sentence. She understood the word "this" at the beginning, so it was obvious that the following words were the name of the medicine.
"Where?" Li Hao could only answer word by word. She took out a tissue and an eyebrow pencil, looked at Shalia, and placed the paper and eyebrow pencil in front of her.
It’s a pity that Li Hao didn’t know how to say “please”, otherwise she would have just said it. Now she could only clasp her hands together and look at the other person, hoping that the other person would draw a picture for her.
Shalia didn't answer, but just supported her chin and looked at Li Hao.
Li Hao reacted on her own without any instruction from the barrage. She opened her bag, took out the lipstick and handed it to her.
"where?"
Seeing that the snake woman had not accepted it, Li Hao was worried that she didn't know the use of lipstick, so he opened it and applied it on his lips. Watching her actions, Shalia did become interested in the lipstick.
She reached out and took the lipstick from Li Hao's hand, but did not use the eyebrow pencil or tissue. Instead, she stood up and walked past Li Hao. The swaying body and the rustling sound of her scales scraping across the ground made Li Hao shudder.
Shalia opened the door and beckoned Li Hao. Li Hao followed her quietly. She decided to take Li Hao to the pharmacy herself.
You know, not everyone can enter Harrison's shop, but Sharia just happens to have this ability.
Following Shalia, Li Hao went so deep into the alley for the first time. If Shalia hadn't led the way, she would never have been able to find this place.
Away from the busy main road, in the alley, there's actually a street inside. Compared to the two-lane road outside, this street inside the alley is so crowded that even five people walking side by side would find it too crowded. There are actually many shops here. Walking here inevitably means brushing shoulders with others.
This shop is actually an ordinary residential building, but there is a sign with a pot image hanging on the door.
Shalia knocked on the door, said something to the person inside, and took Li Hao in.
"Shalia, have you found any good materials?" The black robe carried an indescribable smell. The room was a mess, with bottles, jars, and various herbs scattered everywhere.
Li Hao immediately noticed the two bottles of red potions placed in the upper right corner. These were the potions that the orc with the broken hand drank.
"Found it. Fortunately, we found this snake girl first." said Li Maoxue, who had been watching the live broadcast.
"When she offered seven gold coins the first time we pawned our items, we knew she was a neutral, lawful person." They had prepared themselves for a hefty price when they first started pawning. Unexpectedly, they lucked out. This evil-looking witch offered a very high price. Judging by recent events, one gold coin has a lot of purchasing power. Of course, spending four gold coins on that dress was a bit of a rip-off.
So when they wanted to find the potion, the first thing they thought about was whether the Snake Witch sold it. If not, they would ask her for help. They turned out to be right.
Li Hao didn't even have to speak, Shalia helped her speak.
"No, I brought this kid here to buy some things, Dragon Flame Potion." Shalia pointed at Li Hao next to her and said.
It was then that the black-robed man noticed the little girl next to Shalia. Li Hao was a bit shocked. This was her first time seeing a human in this other world. Although he looked a bit scary, the middle-aged man was a bit thin, with a pale complexion and extremely coarse golden hair. But Li Hao didn't see any orc markings on him.
"Just for this? I thought you had news about the withered petals." The man lost interest when he heard it. "How many bottles? Three gold coins per bottle."
The middle-aged man's next words were addressed to Li Hao. He spoke a bit too quickly. Li Hao caught several numbers but couldn't remember them at all. Fortunately, the people on the other end of the live stream heard them clearly.
While Li Hao was waiting for the response to the barrage, the wizard Harrison and Shalia were communicating.
"Can you help me divine the news about the withered petals? I really can't wait." Harrison said to Salia.
"I have other uses for today's times. I will tell fortunes for you tomorrow." Shalia glanced at Li Hao beside her and said.
Finally, Li Hao took two bottles of Dragon Flame Potion and paid six gold coins. Now she had two gold coins and some silver coins left. Following Shalia, she successfully left the area.
Li Hao followed Shalia and left the place smoothly. After bowing to Shalia and thanking her, Li Hao returned to the hotel. She first took out the meat from the bag, which was her dinner.
Then he looked at the two beautiful bottles of reagents. The red liquid inside the glass bottles seemed to be swirling with light, which was very beautiful. Thinking that this was a potion that could regenerate a severed finger, he was extremely cautious.
Three gold coins per bottle, and she could exchange one of these potions for one earring. This price was a steal for them, and she only had seven days left to return. She would definitely have to turn these two bottles in when the time came, but she wondered if the higher-ups would give her any benefits or something.
Thinking this way, it seemed like victory was just around the corner. The 7-day holiday would soon be over.
In the director's office, Wang Bing was reporting on his work.
"We have obtained two bottles of potion. After seven days, we will verify whether Li Hao has really traveled through time. Today Li Hao went to a new place. There are some magical things there." Wang Bing is now in high spirits. He feels that he has succeeded and it is another great achievement.
Director Luo looked at the newly submitted information and nodded. "We've already thoroughly investigated Li Hao's identity, including the people around her. She's a genuine and good person. We can let her learn more about the situation there, but we also need to make plans for her safe return."
After hearing Director Luo's words, Wang Bing nodded and walked out.
He had just shown Director Luo the street Shalia had taken him to. There were even places selling animals there. He planned to press on. If he could bring back a small magical beast, that would be as much of an achievement as the potion.
