Chapter 8

"You say propellers can grow, are there other forms possible, for example, um... you know?"

"Old brother, are you here to sell stuff? The people from the Balance Commission haven't left yet!"

……

Just as the matter of Qingque growing a "propeller" gradually spread, Lin Qi, who was holed up in "Youjian Shop" in Aurum Alley, was still researching.

However, while researching, two prompts interrupted him.

【Standard influence points +2000】

【Plot influence points +500】

"Huh?"

Sitting at home, money falls from the sky?

How did these points increase? Lin Qi was a bit confused.

But being able to add them is a good thing.

Look, the standard pool can do another ten-pull.

【Brain Domain Expansion Injection (Blue) x4】

【Body Strengthening Injection (Blue) x2】

【A certain rice smart rice cooker (White)】

【Fruit 24promax128g (White) x2】

【Extremis Virus (1.0) Injection (Blue)】

Lin Qi glanced at the gacha information and was a bit speechless.

"Blue sky and white clouds, is that okay? There isn't even a single purple one."

However, he wasn't very disappointed.

In fact, "blue sky and white clouds" is the norm.

When it's not a pity draw, being able to draw purple technology can be considered good luck.

He didn't even dare to think about gold.

Even a pity draw might not produce it.

The last gacha, one gold and one purple, was definitely a stroke of luck.

Although the things drawn were not of much use.

This time, it goes without saying.

Almost useless.

【Extremis Virus Injection (1.0): From the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Can significantly improve the host's metabolic capacity, promote host self-healing and repair, and stimulate controllable high-temperature reactions. But if operated improperly, it may self-destruct.】

"Extremis Virus, if it had been drawn ten-plus years earlier, it would still have some use for me; now, it's not even worth calling it a chicken rib."

"Moreover, this isn't even technology that can be mass-produced, so it's even more useless."

Lin Qi played with the injection in his hand, evaluating it as such.

Speaking of which.

At his current level, even without drawing the R&D technology for the Extremis Virus, he could figure it out himself.

But it's not necessary.

Simply put, this thing is really too useless.

Take Xianzhou long-life species as an example.

Do they need this thing?

Isn't regrowing a severed limb as simple as drinking water and eating? Even if the head is cut off, it can be reattached.

The only thing that's a bit useful is being able to stimulate high-temperature reactions.

But it might self-destruct.

Lin Qi thought about it and couldn't find an application scenario for the Extremis Virus; maybe only those planets covered in ice and snow all year round would need it.

Just as he was thinking.

A figure appeared at the shop entrance.

This figure is not tall, one could say somewhat petite, but it is hard to ignore her existence.

Even though Lin Qi is mostly in the shop and doesn't deal with Xianzhou people much, he can't say he doesn't recognize this figure.

Because she is really too famous.

When he first came to the Xianzhou, Lin Qi even wanted to find her to calculate a hexagram to see if it was really as accurate as the legends say.

But is the Diviner of the Luo Fu so easy to see?

Lin Qi, who hadn't revealed his identity, didn't have this qualification at all.

But unexpectedly, she actually took the initiative to find him.

"Isn't this Diviner Master Fu Xuan of the Divination Commission? A rare guest indeed." Lin Qi put away the injection in his hand and stood up with a smile, unhurriedly.

Fu Xuan nodded slightly and said, "Since you know this seat, you should know the purpose of this seat coming here."

"What purpose? Does Diviner Master want to buy some local specialties in this small shop?"

Lin Qi said casually.

Hearing this, Fu Xuan couldn't help but look around at the layout and furnishings of the shop.

I saw that although this shop is not big, it wins in being clean and tidy; looking at it at a glance, it is as bright as new, without a speck of dust.

But is the merchandise placed here a bit too nonsensical?

Television, fishing rod, flashlight, insect net, books, cloak, candy, glue, faucet...

The more Fu Xuan looked, the stranger her expression became.

"Do you sell everything in this shop?"

"Yes, look at the small print under my sign; isn't it written as a grocery store." Lin Qi replied.

"But this is too miscellaneous!"

Fu Xuan was still a bit speechless and couldn't help but pick up the faucet on the shelf next to her.

"The others are fine, but would anyone really come to you to buy this thing?"

"How is that impossible?"

Lin Qi explained, "Don't look at its ordinary appearance; it's actually a curio, having won the Herta Space Station's most popular curio award three times. Placed anywhere, twist the faucet, and you can pour out drinks, extremely convenient."

Fu Xuan didn't speak, just looked at Lin Qi with an expression of "Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Don't believe it?"

Lin Qi chuckled, handed over a cup, and continued, "If you don't believe it, try it yourself; don't worry, it's not poisonous."

Fu Xuan took the cup in a daze and twisted the faucet.

Sure enough, liquid flowed out from it.

Is there really no water pipe connected behind it?

Fu Xuan held the cup and didn't move.

She is not afraid of ordinary poison, but involving the Sanctus Medicus, even she has to be cautious; if there are ingredients that induce the outbreak of Mara-Struck, that would be troublesome.

"Not drinking? Don't like Immortal's Joy Tea? Then how about this one, what comes out is Star-Yue Bobo."

Seeing that Fu Xuan didn't drink, Lin Qi took out another faucet and handed it to Fu Xuan, and then took the cup in her hand and drank it in one gulp.

This outworlder's movements are so fast!

Fu Xuan's heart condensed; her first reaction was Lin Qi's skill, but this thought was immediately interrupted by Lin Qi's subsequent words.

What is it?

What made Fu Xuan even more stunned was that she saw with her own eyes Lin Qi casually place the faucet on the wall, then twist the switch, and a cup of purple-red drink flashing with beautiful starlight was poured into the cup just like that.

Fu Xuan couldn't help but take a small sip, and her eyes lit up instantly.

That's right!

This is her favorite drink.

Star-Yue Bobo!

And...

It's the sugar-added version!

Is it really a curio?

If it were installed on the desk in the Divination Commission, wouldn't she be able to drink it whenever she wanted? Drink as much as she wanted?

Infinitely drinkable Star-Yue Bobo!
