Chapter 55 Apple Gummy
"What's this?"
Leon opened his mouth, but his voice was so hoarse that even he was startled.
After coming out of the Senn dungeon, he not only didn't drink a drop of water, but he couldn't even sleep. Coupled with the invasion of fear, he now looks no different from a zombie. No wonder no one recognized him on the street.
The high-spirited lion Leon of the past would never be such a wretched fellow.
"Fear-repelling powder, a powder that can dispel fear, is just right for your current situation," Gong Qiying pushed the paper bag toward him and said, "One silver coin per bag, no cheating."
One silver coin? This guy must be crazy.
Leon thought that one silver coin was enough to buy a high-quality blood healing potion, or two or three bottles of mid-level healing potions. The effect of a bottle of mid-level healing potion was equivalent to Drew's healing magic.
In other words, is this boss confident that the effect of this packet of medicine powder can be comparable to that of blood healing potion?
He had never heard of fear-repelling powder. Besides, to drive away fear? You mean I'm afraid of something? That's impossible!
Leon's mental state is very unstable now. Gong Qiying's words introducing the effect of the terror-repelling powder turned into sarcastic and harsh words in his ears, making him furious.
"Haha, an idiot is an idiot. You actually think that strangers are mocking you? You are nothing more than that, brother."
“Shut up!”
The ghostly voice came from behind again, and the harsh words almost drove Leon crazy. He turned around and waved his hands wildly at the air, as if he wanted to kill the ghost that was haunting him.
Just as he was about to hit the counter behind, a pair of strong hands suddenly clamped his arms.
"What are you doing, wuwu!"
Leon didn't even have time to struggle as his mouth was pinched open and a packet of terror-repelling powder was stuffed into it. The powder absorbed the little moisture in his mouth in the blink of an eye, choking him and causing him to cough uncontrollably.
When he really struggled hard, Gong Qiying could no longer hold him back and allowed him to take two steps back, stagger and fall to the ground.
"You—cough, cough, cough,"
Leon pointed at Gong Qiying and wanted to say something angrily, but suddenly, as if a freeze button was pressed, he stopped completely.
Because he found that all the chaotic voices in his head disappeared?
“How is this possible?”
He muttered to himself and stared at his hands. The moment he took the terror-repelling powder, his eyes became clear.
There are many questions in this world:
For example, can you summon Steve Jobs by playing with the pen fairy with an Apple pencil? Can you revive Kobe Bryant by collecting seven golden basketballs?
When Hidetaka Miyazaki was a child, did he pass by Scarlet Corruption on his way home? Was the amusement park he often visited called Ancient City of Sein? Were his friends named Yang and Feng?
Which one of the Road of Pain, White Blood Cathedral and Pagoda Prison is the most torturous map?
Leon's question now is, can this medicine powder, whose name he has never heard of, really cure his abnormal condition! ?
He was stunned for a long time, and after making sure there were no more strange sounds in his ears, he said with a complicated expression: "Thank you, boss."
It is really surprising that this ordinary prop store owner actually has such magical things.
Leon was taught from childhood that it was time to express gratitude.
"One silver coin, thank you for your patronage,"
"Oh, okay," Leon touched his body and was embarrassed to find that he didn't bring any money. That's right, who would put money in their pajamas?
"Sorry, sorry, I don't have any money. Can I ask my companion to come over later--"
He got stuck in the middle of his words because he suddenly remembered that everyone in the strategy group was currently in the same negative state as him, and was probably half-useless as well.
"Um, Boss, can we discuss something?"
Leon smiled awkwardly. He had never felt so miserable before. “Can I buy it on credit first? I’ll go home and get the money.”
"Sure," Gong Qiying nodded indifferently, "Didn't you just ask your companions to bring it over?"
"They are all the same as I was just now."
He was silent for a moment, then raised his hand to stroke his hair, which was his signature move when he felt confident. His shining golden hair made his fashion sense soar to a higher level.
But this time, he felt his arms were extremely heavy and he couldn't lift them. He had no choice but to hang his hands and ask, "Can you lend me a few packets of anti-terror powder first? I'll come back and pay you right after I cure my companions."
Only when you have experienced fear yourself can you know how terrible it is. The most frightening things in the past come like waves. A wave sweeps you into the dark and dark deep sea, surrounded by indescribable things that are eyeing you covetously, but they just happen to be able to materialize your fear.
After waking up from that state, he wanted to free his companions from their fear immediately and didn't want to make them wait even for a second.
Although he is very concerned about his reputation and sometimes has a bad temper, he is still a person who values his companions.
Gong Qiying looked him up and down and said nothing.
"I swear on my face that I will never go back on my debt!" Leon pulled his hair aside, revealing a face that was pale but still somewhat handsome.
"You want to tear your face off for me?"
Leon blinked, seemingly not expecting such an answer, and after a moment he suddenly understood and asked, “You don’t know me?”
"Should I know you?" Gong Qiying asked deliberately, but in fact he had known you for a long time.
"I"
Leon opened his mouth but said nothing in the end. He felt a little disappointed but also a little... happy?
He felt sad because his fame had not yet reached the level of a household name, and he was happy because his embarrassing appearance would not be spread.
He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll go get the money now. Please prepare three packets of anti-terror powder for me. I'll be back soon."
Because he had not eaten or drunk anything, his body was still a little weak, but for the sake of his companions, he still had to run despite his sick body.
"etc,"
Just as he was about to go out, Gong Qiying suddenly called him.
"Take these away and pay together later." He placed several packets of anti-terror powder on the counter and said with a smile, "From your appearance, I know you won't break your promise. I will trust you for now."
If you dare to run away, you will never be able to stay in the Senn dungeon again.
Leon was deeply moved. He grabbed the anti-terror powder on the counter and said loudly: "Thank you, boss. I'll leave first!"
"Wait, there's one more thing,"
Gong Qiying threw him a piece of candy and said, "Eat this to restore your strength. I'm really worried that you'll die on the way, so this also costs money."
"Candy?" Leon threw the candy into his mouth and smacked it twice. It tasted like apple, sour and sweet.
"Huh?" He suddenly found that his physical strength was recovering rapidly, as if he had drunk a bottle of physical strength potion.
Facing his surprised gaze, Gong Qiying said calmly: "It's produced in Food Paradise, don't make a fuss."
【Apple Gummy (from "Tales of Dawn")】
[Spiritual power required per ten units: 5]
[No combat power]
[You can restore a small amount of physical strength after eating]
“Thank you, boss,” Leon thanked him more sincerely and turned to leave.
"One more thing,"
Gong Qiying threw a pair of slippers over and said:
"Put on your shoes before you go."
