Chapter 115: Preventive Medicine
Anyway, Bao Chi is also happy now.
They have a win‑win.
The atmosphere is harmonious, but Cheng Shuili shows no relaxation at all; Bao Chi is friendly now, but might become unfriendly once the exact split figures are seen.
Twenty‑five percent turning into one percent, turning hostile is normal.
Now there's a 20% discount, grab it quickly!
Cheng Shuili picks up the last two European buns, places them on a plate, and goes to Bao Chi to settle the bill.
"I still want these two!"
"You said... you promised..."
Why is the stutter starting again?
Cheng Shuili waited patiently for a while before understanding his meaning.
"The promised 20% discount makes it a total of 4800 Game Coins."
That's right.
Cheng Shuili successfully pays.
After completing today's mileage, she received an extra 10 Game Coins; the first purchase of European buns cost 3000, this time 4800, leaving Cheng Shuili with only 1293 Game Coins.
Cheng Shuili sighs; money really disappears quickly. No matter the era, money is spent just as fast.
Cheng Shuili doesn't rush to eat, but stuffs the European buns into the Abyssal Ring.
She's been in the bakery for half an hour; she still has an hour and a half before entering Shou Ren Xiao Zhen.
She stands, smooths her clothes, and is about to push the door open when, through the glass door, she spots a few old acquaintances from afar.
A wolf‑headed beastman, a bear‑headed beastman, and the police chief.
Their group's target is crystal clear: they're heading straight for Cheng Shuili.
Cheng Shuili: "…"
She wonders if they'll have to go around the police station again.
She doesn't rush out, sits back on the wooden chair and readjusts her title.
She swaps the title "Cai Cai Jiu Jiu" for "Supreme King"; authority can solve many troubles.
Bao Chi carefully peeks out his two eyes, finds it odd that Cheng Shuili hasn't left but sat down again; as he is about to ask, he feels this human has suddenly changed.
In that instant, the human suddenly becomes terrifying.
Bao Chi shrinks his neck and retreats behind the counter.
The bakery's door is quickly pushed open; the newcomer scans the shop, Wolf An doesn't see Cheng Shuili nor Bao Chi, scratches his head in confusion and shouts, "Bao Chi! You came as a beast and didn't even greet?"
After a moment, Bao Chi's voice comes from behind the counter.
"Wel... come...!"
Wolf An: "…"
Is he a bit troubled by this little stutterer?
Wolf An's view is blocked by Xiong Gu, so he doesn't see Cheng Shuili; the other two beastmen instantly spot the human over there.
The chief turns, signals Wolf An to shut up with his eyes, then leads the two beasts to find Cheng Shuili.
She clearly thought she was prepared, but the moment she faces Cheng Shuili, she instantly realizes her preparation was insufficient.
Cheng Shuili is expressionless; these beasts are definitely here for trouble.
She proactively asks, "Is there something?"
The chief, suppressing inner nervousness, lifts his lips twice before speaking: "Um... Recently flu is rampant; humans entering Shou Ren Xiao Zhen need to have their temperature measured. Only with normal temperature can they move around in Shou Ren Xiao Zhen."
Oh.
That makes sense.
Cheng Shuili is silent for a moment, then suddenly senses something off; shouldn't she have been taken to have her temperature measured as soon as she entered the town?
She's been wandering for half an hour; isn't it a bit late for them to come now?
If the chief knew what she was thinking, he'd silently wipe his brow; that's how it is, but how could this human be so imposing? Didn't Wolf An and Xiong Gu dare to speak to her?
The chief sighs inwardly, gathers courage and says, "Shall I take your temperature?"
Cheng Shuili nods, "Of course."
The chief somehow produces a thermometer gun; Cheng Shuili sits on the chair, watching the chief aim the gun at her head.
"Beep."
The thermometer gun emits a green light.
The chief visibly relaxes, "Human, you are very healthy."
Of course, healthy.
Her health value is locked at 80; even if she falls ill it won't drop.
Cheng Shuili suddenly feels puzzled: if she gets sick, what would happen? Is it only symptoms without concrete numeric display?
She doesn't think deeply.
The chief doesn't leave immediately; instead, from where he pulled the thermometer gun, he pulls out several bags of Chinese medicine.
"Human, flu is rampant lately; you need to be careful. This is our Shou Ren Xiao Zhen specialty preventive medicine; after taking it you can prevent flu, three times a day, a two‑day course. This is one course, take it."
Cheng Shuili silently takes it.
【Shou Ren Xiao Zhen Specialty Preventive Medicine】
Is that really the name?
【Description: Preventive medicine! The medicine lives up to its name! It can prevent all diseases! Strengthens the body, the unrivaled choice for health maintenance! Daily intake can increase health value, each course adds 10 health points.】
Adds 10 health points.
Good stuff.
The increase in health value Cheng Shuili only experienced once when changing titles; that feeling of clearly sensing one's physique strengthening is really not bad!
Cheng Shuili's smile became more genuine, her whole appearance softened, and she sincerely thanked the director: "Thank you."
The director actually doesn't quite understand human aesthetics, but seeing that human's smile, she inexplicably felt that this human must also be very popular among humans.
The three beastmen left quickly, without wasting any time,
Cheng Shuili glanced at the pitiful Bao Chi; this little stutterer was still hiding behind the counter, probably only after getting the Game Coin would they discover that the profit distribution had been altered by this bad person Cheng Shuili.
Cheng Shuili felt no guilt, pushed open the glass door and walked out.
Only a little over an hour left; where should I go for a stroll?
The special items from the bakery and the shop have both been obtained.
Cheng Shuili stood at the bakery entrance, glanced around, and saw a beauty salon open across the street.
A beauty salon?
What use is a beauty salon in a place like this?
Cheng Shuili raised her eyebrows, walked through the crowd to the opposite side of the street, pushed open the beauty salon's heavy glass door; inside there was only a counter and a staircase leading upstairs.
"Welcome~ to Tiger Tiger Beauty Salon!"
The Tiger Tiger beastman with a small red flower on its ear popped out from under the counter; upon seeing that a human had entered, its expression changed, it frowned and repeated: "We don't welcome your presence! We're not happy to serve you! Human! What are you doing in here?"
Cheng Shuili: "..."
This is a bit prejudiced, huh?
Since we've come, we can't just leave, right?
Cheng Shuili gave a light cough; according to her understanding of these beastmen, the system must have forced them to offer services to humans, and this welcome is purely the beastmen's subjective opinion.
"What services do you have?"
Tiger Sis jumped in surprise, almost leaping up from behind the counter!
Soon they'll call the weapon-forging Hu Ge to deal with her!
Soon they'll call the weapon-making Hu Ge to take care of her!
