"Asshole, how could you..."
Perhaps he knew that it was useless to argue at this point, so he simply gave up and pointed at the shop owner who was kneeling on the ground and swore at him.
"I'm right, right?" Qi Ji spread his hands. "Why don't you believe it?"
As soon as she arrived, she sensed someone sneaking out of the back door of the pharmacy with a few bottles of antidote on his body, which immediately caught her attention.
After observing secretly for a while, she saw that the man was pretending to be a middleman and raised the price by half, so she sneaked into the drugstore and planned to have a good "talk" with the owner.
As a result, the shop owner was frightened by Qi Ji's sudden appearance. After she explained her purpose, he was even more frightened and confessed everything he could.
This guy's cowardice made Qi Ji speechless, but it was a good thing for her, as she had originally wanted to use mental spells to serve him.
In short, she had only said a few words when the shop owner agreed to reveal the whole secret in front of everyone.
Hence the current situation.
"Damn it...just wait and see!"
The man's face looked terribly ugly. He glared at the shop owner with murderous eyes, then waved his hand and was about to leave under the protection of the two guards.
Although his trick was exposed, he didn't think too much about it.
Anyway, the money has been obtained, and what happens next is none of his business!
"Hey, stop right there!" The mustache man hurriedly stood in front of him, "This is a scam! You must return the 1,500 Ferums I gave you!"
"What, you don't accept it?" The man was fearless, hiding behind the guards with an arrogant look on his face, "What can you do to me? I won't regret doing business with you if I make the deal!"
“You, you!…”
The man with the mustache was obviously a typical honest man. He was not good at throwing tantrums or dealing with hooligans. Facing the tall and mighty guard, he did not dare to take direct action. He could only glare and watch the man swagger past.
Others were also so angry at this scene that they beat their chests and stamped their feet, but no one stepped forward to seek justice.
Because all three of his antidotes had been sold, and he had not been cheated of any money, he would not gain anything even if he stepped forward.
Why risk getting beaten up by two guards just to seek justice?
"Brother, are you sure you want to leave like this?" Qi Ji looked at him and said indifferently.
The man stopped walking when he heard the voice, looked up and thought for a moment, then turned to look at her and reached into his pocket to search:
"Miss, the price you offered just now is indeed a bit high. I will return the 4,000 Ferums to you."
He took out a bunch of coins wrapped in oil paper and handed it to Qi Ji:
"Just make a friend."
He just thought about it and felt that since this girl could come up with so much money at once, her identity must be extraordinary.
Although she can't compare to my backer no matter what, it's better to have less trouble than more. It's better not to offend her intentionally. I will just make less money and sell it to her at the original price.
Anyway, you will definitely make money, and maybe even make a favor for someone.
Qi Ji didn't say anything. With a thought, the money box in the man's hand flew into her hand.
"It's so unfair, so unfair..."
The man with a mustache looked at this scene and despised the man's opportunism in his heart. However, he could do nothing. The more than a thousand Ferums he had worked so hard to earn were wasted. He was so anxious that tears were about to come out.
"Mage? No wonder."
The man took back his empty hands and understood something.
Turns out he’s an adventurer, and since he’s a wizard, he’s probably a foreigner.
She was probably a daughter from a big family in other countries who came out to gain experience. She certainly had no shortage of money, so it was not surprising that she took out thirty-three els.
"……Um!?"
He suddenly felt a shaking inside his clothes, and then a large number of shiny little things flew out of them, forming a galaxy-like flash under the sunlight!
Golden, silver, round...they're coins!
There are not only the six El coins that Qi Ji just gave, but also dozens of large-denomination Ferum coins!
"Thank you for the treat."
Countless coins of different sizes fell into Qi Ji's hands and were stacked into several stacks based on their face value.
"No, this is yours."
She smiled at the mustachioed man, and then a few coins rose again and fell into his arms.
"Well!"
The man with the moustache quickly caught it and took a look, and saw fifteen gold coins with a face value of "1" lying in his hand.
Fifteen El is equivalent to four thousand five hundred Ferum in Stio!
Not only did the extra 1,500 Ferums come back, but the original 3,000 as well.
It was equivalent to him getting a fever antidote worth three thousand Ferums for free!
"This, this..." He stared at the money in his hand, his tongue uncontrollable in excitement, "Miss! This is too much!"
"Not much," Qi Ji's tone changed and became cold, "You didn't need to spend a penny for this medicine."
"Little bitch, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!" The man was anxious when his money was taken away by this little girl who came from nowhere. "I have someone above me, do you know who it is?"
This guy is a mage, which means he is almost certainly not from the Templar State.
Then there is nothing to be afraid of, your backers will definitely not favor a foreigner!
Just be reckless and fight to get the money back!
"Do you have someone above you?" Qi Ji laughed, "I don't have anyone above me."
"Why don't you return the money to me?" Hearing this, the man suddenly gained confidence.
"Compared to this... Tsk, it's finally done." Qi Ji suddenly looked towards the side of the pharmacy, which was where the owner had run out before.
The next second, a slender figure turned out, holding a wooden basin as big as a washbasin in both hands, looking a little tired.
"Xiaoqi...Xiron, the water is ready!" Lunxi put the wooden basin on the ground with a bang, and a few drops of water splashed out with the impact.
The man was a little confused and didn't understand what she was doing.
The crowd was also confused. This girl who looked a little older was obviously the companion of the girl in the cloak, but why did she bring out a basin of water?
"Hmm...it looks like it's over a hundred pounds." Qi Ji glanced at the wooden basin full of water on the ground, then glanced at the people around him, as if estimating the number of people, "It should be enough."
"Hey, did you hear me?" The man felt like he was being teased, and he yelled in frustration, "Give me back my money, all of it! Now! Otherwise, you will suffer the consequences!"
Qi Ji ignored him and took out two bottles of antidote from his cloak, uncorked them and poured them all in.
"hiss!"
"What is she doing!?"
"That's not how you spend money!"
"What a sin! Would you rather throw it away than share it with us?!"
"It's okay to sell it at a higher price, but don't let it fail!"
If the antidote for fever is diluted with water, then even if you drink all the water, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced, just like mixing perfume with water, which will destroy the aromatic substances in the perfume.
It can be said that after Qi Ji's actions, these two bottles of precious antidote are basically scrapped!
Qi Ji still didn't say anything. He held the two medicine bottles in one hand and placed the other hand, palm down, over the wooden basin.
"...sun...gold...balance...dawn...blessing...gift..."
A series of awkward syllables flowed out of her mouth quickly.
The next moment, golden light comparable to the sun burst out!
Chapter 64 To persuade people to study medicine, the sky strikes like lightning
First update
=========================
The gushing golden light instantly suppressed everyone's shock and anger at the waste of natural resources.
The intense flash of light was so bright that it was difficult for everyone to open their eyes, and they all turned their heads away.
The light lasted for more than ten seconds before gradually dimming and finally going out. The people who were dazzled by the light shook their heads and immediately turned their eyes to Qi Ji's palm and the basin on the ground.
They were very curious about what this generous and mysterious girl had done.
I saw that the water in the basin, which originally had some impurities, became extremely clear as if it had been filtered.
This body of water, as transparent as a gem, is now emitting a uniform light yellow fluorescence. It appears very faint under the sun, but everyone can see it clearly!
"This is...this is..."
"This color, could it be that!..."
"Grace be upon you! Grace be upon you!"
In an instant, everyone was dumbfounded as if they had seen some extremely strange ghost, their mouths were open so wide that their jaws were about to drop, and they were unable to speak.
"Done," Qi Ji clapped his hands. "Who brought the cup? Everyone who sees it gets a share. There must be enough for you guys."
"Impossible, this is impossible!" The man stepped back in panic, staring at Qi Ji as if he were a monster, and then shouted frantically around:
"It's a trick! It must be a trick! Don't be fooled by her. How is it possible to do this?!"
He opened his arms excitedly and waved them wildly:
"The antidote to the fever was created by the 'saints' of the temple using divine magic. It is a miracle in the world! How could this unknown little wizard be able to copy it? Use your brains and think about it. How is this possible? "
"You'll know after drinking it." Qi Ji picked up a medicine bottle and put it into the basin of water. After it gurgled for a few seconds, he took it out and said, "Who wants to try it?"
"Don't drink it! You absolutely cannot drink it!" the man shouted, "Be careful, it's poisonous! How dare you trust an outsider who comes from an unknown place!?"
Qi Ji did not argue. He just raised the bottle filled with potion to eye level and waved it in front of everyone. The potion liquid, which was emitting a faint glow, rippled gently.
Dozens of onlookers stared at the medicine bottle, with hope, shock, and doubt in their eyes.
"Don't drink! Don't drink! Don't..."
"I'll do it," the man with a mustache stood up when everyone was hesitating, "I'll drink it."
"You?!" The man looked at him viciously, and even laughed in anger, "Why are you joining in the fun! Isn't it enough to get a bottle of medicine for free?! Aren't you worried that you'll die on the spot if you take a gulp? Aren't you worried that she's fooling you?!"
“I…” The mustache man flinched a little, but feeling the coldness of the coins in his hand, he finally took a step forward and took the medicine bottle from Qi Ji:
"I trust this lady, and I trust my judgment!"
As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for the man to say anything else, he stretched his neck, poured all the medicine into his mouth, and then swallowed it without stopping!
The man stared at the mustache man's reaction with wide eyes, hoping that the other party would foam at the mouth and die in the next second. He hoped that Qi Ji wanted to murder this man deliberately so as to take the antidote in his body for himself.
With everyone's full attention, the man with the mustache swallowed the medicine, said nothing, closed his eyes, and felt the condition of his body with all his heart and soul.
Everyone's attention was focused on him. No one moved or spoke, as if time had stood still.
One second, two seconds...
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
Without a clock, the man with the mustache kept time by counting his own heartbeats.
"call!--"
It was not until the 300th beat began to beat from his chest as usual that he suddenly opened his eyes.
"How about it!?"
"What does it feel like?"
“Does it really work?!”
He glanced around and said slowly, choosing his words carefully:
"I feel...very good. My heart feels warm, as if there's a bonfire burning inside...very comfortable, and my whole body is full of strength."
"That's it! That's how it should feel! I've heard people who have tried it say it's exactly the same!" someone shouted excitedly.
Like a drop of water falling into hot oil, the crowd suddenly boiled!
"Great! My brother is finally saved!"
