Meet Fu Kai again
Hongying Squad?
Xu Hongying?
Linzhi recalled the team he had met in the ogre camp.
Their captain is Xu Hongying, a fire mage of over level 20.
We met once, but we weren't familiar with each other.
I didn't expect them to come to this safe zone.
This is not because Linzhi is indifferent, but after the emergence of high-dimensional games, dangers and opportunities coexist. It can only be said that life and death are determined by fate.
Linzhi didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but what the group of people said next caught her attention.
She subconsciously pricked up her ears and listened carefully—
"Alas, I just feel sorry for the brother she adopted."
"Brother? Is he the boy who knows he's just an ordinary person but still runs around for his sister?"
"Yeah, it seems his name is Fu... Fu Kai."
"Speaking of which, Xu Hongying saved him because of her mission.
When she met him, he was being chased by her mission target, a LV20 spotted tiger.
"I didn't intend to save her, but I didn't expect this young man to take it seriously. Not only did he acknowledge her as his sister, he also insisted on repaying her for saving his life."
"Now, after learning that his sister was seriously injured, he went everywhere to make money just to buy a bottle of high-level healing potion."
"I have a question."
A young man with a crew cut wondered, "The Red Tassel Squad has been around for a long time, and they've received at least 50 missions, if not 100. They shouldn't be unable to even afford a few bottles of potion, right?"
The young man with a flat head beside him took over the conversation, "Well, you don't know. I heard this from my cousin from my aunt's family—"
Didn't the Hongying team lose one person and two seriously injured during the mission last week? While still conscious, Captain Xu Hongying gave all her savings to the family of the deceased teammate and the other seriously injured teammate. As for herself...
She felt that it was her fault in command that caused her teammate's death, so she desperately wanted to die to accompany him."
"But they encountered monsters far beyond their level, so it's normal that they couldn't defeat them..."
Some people don’t understand.
"I'm just stubborn. I can't get over the hurdle in my heart."
The middle-aged man slurping his noodles shook his head, as if expressing regret, "It's just a pity for little brother Fu Kai.
Everyone knows that it is not easy for an ordinary person to collect hundreds of thousands of gold coins! Not to mention..."
The man lowered his voice slightly at this point, "The high-end healing potion in the pharmacy is just a gimmick. Actually..."
"I told you not to tell anyone."
"Hey, Brother Tiger, you still don't believe in the character of our brothers."
"That's right, tell us quickly." The two urged.
Chen Hu hesitated for a few seconds before telling the information he knew.
…
After taking back the [Undead Black Swallowtail], Lin Zhi narrowed his eyes.
I see.
The voices of those people behind her were getting softer and softer. If she hadn't used the black swallowtail butterfly's senses, she really wouldn't have been able to hear what they were saying.
Who would have thought that an officially authorized professional pharmacy in the safe zone would sell counterfeit goods?
In fact, it cannot be said to be a fake, after all, it is indeed the configuration that normal medicine should have.
It's just diluting one potion into three and selling them.
I didn't expect that there are unscrupulous businessmen everywhere.
Linzhi didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but the names they mentioned included his own mission targets.
No wonder the system task is not shown as completed.
It seems that we need to help Fu Kai get the real potion and save his sister Xu Hongying.
With a clear goal, Linzhi acted quickly.
She planned to go directly to Fu Kai and go to the pharmacy with him.
Half an hour later, Linzhi returned to the place where Fu Kai had set up his stall at the beginning.
There was already someone at the stall, but it wasn't Fu Kai.
"Sister, I'll be setting up a stall here for the next few days. I'll go prepare the ingredients to make some new potions."
"Also, thank you, sister~"
Recalling what Fu Kai had said at the time, Lin Zhi asked the stall owner, "Where is the boy at this stall?"
The stall owner was a kind-looking uncle. He smiled and replied, "Oh, him. He just left."
Without waiting for Lin Zhi to ask, the uncle took the initiative to say, "I heard that young man say that he would not set up a stall here again, so I spent 2,000 gold coins to buy the stall with half an hour left."
"He was laughing as he left. I guess he must be making a good income."
The uncle spoke cheerfully, as if he was looking forward to making a fortune by setting up a stall.
"I see. Thank you."
Lin Zhi thanked him and left quickly.
Hope to catch up.
She was afraid that when she went to the pharmacy later, Fu Kai would have already left, and she wouldn't know where to find him.
When she ran to the pharmacy, she heard people arguing in the store.
"Brother, I'm only 5,000 gold coins short. I'll definitely come to the store tomorrow to make up for it. Please sell me this bottle of potion."
Fu Kai's voice was full of pleading.
"No! If it's 510,000, it's 510,000. We're an officially certified pharmacy. We were once a flagship store. We don't sell on credit."
After all, things like making money and black bars are not popular nowadays.
"But..." Fu Kai argued softly, "Wasn't it 500,000 before?"
Lu Fan's face was full of indifference.
"You said it was in the past. Pork prices always went up in the past. It's reasonable for us to raise the price of medicine."
Fu Kai choked.
Before he could continue speaking, he suddenly heard a cold female voice coming from outside the door.
"The price increase is indeed reasonable, but what if you are selling counterfeit goods?"
"What? The potion is fake!?"
"That can't be right. My grandpa just drank a bottle of medicine this morning. If it's fake, then my grandpa..."
There were still quite a few customers in the store, and when they heard Lin Zhi's sudden words, they all had different opinions.
Some people were panicked, not knowing whether to pick up or put down the medicine in their hands. Others questioned whether Linzhi was slandering the pharmacy.
"That's nonsense! The last time I was bitten by a monster, I used the potion from this store to get better. I don't feel anything wrong with my body."
"Yeah, if there's something wrong with the medicine, why hasn't anyone reported it? Why is the store still able to grow bigger and bigger?"
…
"Where did this little girl come from to talk nonsense here!" Lu Fan shouted subconsciously.
He suddenly felt panicked as if he had been exposed, but he quickly reacted and calmly explained to the people around him:
"Don't be fooled by her!"
"We are an officially certified and authorized store. There is no such thing as fake goods!"
After saying this, Lu Fan couldn't help but feel confused.
How did she know?
Is there a mole in the store?
No, it won't.
The medicines were all brought from the warehouse by the salesperson, and were tampered with privately when no one was around.
This is also one of the ways for the salesmen to make money through collusion.
After all, who doesn’t like this way of making money without any effort?
Besides, there are no testing equipment here anyway, so who can prove that there is something wrong with their medicine?
Even if they later called in an official inspector, wouldn't it be enough for them to just take a bottle of undiluted medicine for testing?
After all, not all the medicines they sell are problematic.
And now, whatever he says is the final word.
"Young people these days are just too stingy. To avoid paying a few thousand gold coins, they even slandered a pharmacy for counterfeiting..."
"Looking at the way this little girl is dressed, she must be an Awakened one. I didn't expect her heart to be so dark."
"Tsk tsk tsk, the world is really going downhill."
Hearing Lu Fan's confident tone, many people changed their tone and started to speak ill of Lin Zhi.
"Whether it is true or not, you will know if you try it."
Lin Zhi stretched out her hand and took a medicine from the cabinet.
Jinjin had just reminded her that half of the medicines here were diluted.
The one in her hand is an advanced healing potion diluted into three parts!
"What are you doing? If you don't want to buy it, don't touch it. If it breaks, can you afford to pay for it?"
Lu Fan recognized the potion with his mark on it, and fearing that the other party would discover something, he took two or three steps forward and tried to snatch the potion from Lin Zhi's hand.
"oops."
When Lin Zhi was touched by her, she immediately pretended to be accidentally bumped by him, and the potion in her hand fell to the ground.
The glass test tube shattered instantly, and the medicine inside spilled all over the floor.
"Sorry, my hand slipped."
She looked at Lu Fan innocently: "Tell me, why did you suddenly rush up to me? I'm timid and I'm scared."
After saying that, he tutted his tongue twice and said, "What a pity for this potion. Even though it's a fake, it's not completely ineffective."
"you!"
Lu Fan was furious. "How dare you cause trouble here? If you know what's best for you, compensate me now!"
He revealed a greedy face, "The one you broke is the advanced healing potion, which sells for 510,000.
In addition, you slandered our store without hesitation, which seriously affected our store's reputation. You also need to compensate for the losses caused during this period, at least 3 million gold coins.
Otherwise, I'll call the law enforcement team."
"By then..." His expression was grim, and his tone contained a threat: "It won't be something that can be solved by paying a little money."
The law enforcement team is a special department responsible for maintaining public order in the safe zone.
None of the civilians in the safe zone wanted to offend them.
Because once the facts of those who are taken away by the law enforcement team are verified, they will be severely punished if not killed, and will be permanently restricted from entering the safe zone.
The reason why Lu Fan was so confident was because he had a friend who was in the law enforcement team and was a team leader.
That's exactly the case.
Even if someone suspected that there was something wrong with their medicine before, it was eventually left unresolved.
"If you have the ability, just call them over. I want to see if the law enforcement team is full of people who can't tell right from wrong."
Linzhi doesn't care about the Tao.
A man of integrity fears no slander.
Besides, she still has many cards that she hasn't used yet.
Fu Kai, who was standing aside, was completely stunned.
Hearing that the law enforcement team was going to be called, he immediately became anxious and quickly stepped forward to pull Lin Zhi's sleeve, "Sister, thank you, but you should leave quickly!"
The law enforcement team is not something they can fight against.
Even though Sister Lin is an awakened person, she is alone.
And she was as kind as Sister Xu, he didn't want her to die...
