Chapter 120: Joy of Moving In

Even though it's already been carefully selected, the players want to buy way too many things.

Even after they've pooled nearly three hundred points, they still find it's not enough in the end.

As the players' representative, Zhao Jun has to shamelessly approach the Mysterious Merchant for negotiations.

He asks him to stay a bit longer today so they can grind and make up the missing points.

No way, you actually want me to work overtime?

If it were before, Ji Ming would just pack up and turn away.

But…

Anyway, the players are speaking up for themselves today.

Gou Zi gets a big bone reward just for helping catch a thief, let alone this tight‑knit group of good buddies.

So Ji Ming didn't make it difficult for them and agreed outright.

Now the wild monsters in the dungeon are in big trouble.

The street scene here is extremely close to the fantasy world Ji Ming imagined, with countless races bustling together in harmony, blending in a way different from the Outer City.

The reason Kuang Xiaoshu's Little Mouse Nation can expand so quickly is thanks to these potions.

"Doctor, how's it going? If anything's unsatisfactory, just say so!"

After arranging his belongings, Ji Ming settled comfortably onto a new sofa.

So there are a lot, a lot?

—We guard you just like we guard thieves; who would want such treatment?

With nothing to do, he struck up a conversation with Mouse Kid, who was also busy directing his subordinates' move.

These low‑quality potions definitely can't be given to customers; Ji Ming felt embarrassed to let the players solve it for him, so he simply handed them all to Mouse Kid.

If you say "the Clinic Clinic", people won't know which one you mean and it'll just become a joke.

Even the Goblin Warrior that chased players on day one can now only be shredded by an unstoppable battle formation, creating a chaotic mess before being hacked to death.

"If you need anything else, you can come to this address to find me."

"Doctor, why are you here? Aren't you closed today?"

Indeed, that's the case; with many competitors in the Inner City, the name 'Ji Ming' has lost a lot of its clout.

But even so, grinding points still takes time.

Yet such a massive amount can't be expressed with gestures; he can only wildly flail on the spot.

"As long as it's enough!"

The carriage was rented by Ku Po himself; even if he shows up in person, it won't have the privileges of a Commercial Union's official vehicle.

Ji Ming smiled.

Then he discovered a ridiculous fact.

To clear the suspicion that he tried to seize someone's arm and flee overnight, Ji Ming pulled AdaiEr onto the carriage heading to Inner City.

Ku Po had promised to compensate him before, so this time the moving and renovation costs were entirely covered by him.

Besides efficiency, the united players also unleashed considerable power.

There was a lobby for socializing and waiting, a treatment room for healing and operations, a decoction room for brewing medicines, a storage room for supplies, plus living quarters and a bathroom.

Neat and bright, windows clean, this is what a Clinic truly is.

"Not bad, you've put some heart into it."

Although his potion‑brewing skill has become increasingly proficient, failures and lower‑quality products still occur.

If there were truly important items, they'd already be in the dungeon; the Clinic's belongings are essentially optional.

Facing such dire circumstances, the three major powers naturally didn't stand by; even the money‑hungry Mercenary Alliance sent people to make a show of presence.

Don't even mention ordinary goblins and slimes.

AdaiEr walked around the Clinic and stepped over.

"If you two weren't a pharmacist and a mage, you'd probably still be troubled a bit longer…"

So these demonic creatures may look formidable, but they can't wreak havoc for long before being eradicated.

But after turning a corner, the surroundings suddenly fell quiet.

"AdaiEr!"

The rabbit‑folk selling baked flatbreads, the goblin at the door hawking to customers, and the adventurer lugging a great sword down the street…

But like the legendary waste pills forged by immortals, these might be useless liquid to humans, yet to the mice they're a perfect tonic.

After walking far away, Ku Po turned back with a wry smile.

Then he thought, his medical skill is just second‑rate, with the only professionalism limited to surgery.

Actually Ji Ming also wanted to, but to keep his dignity he could only watch and feign composure.

The eager‑to‑grind players formed a formation and began sweeping area by area.

But since it's Inner City, its design style and aesthetics are certainly beyond what the Outer City can match.

Thus even after just a day or two, the workers who came to renovate could already declare completion.

Show mercy where you can, and besides, Ji Ming also intends to maintain this connection, so he just kept nodding.

"What I mean is, I'm scared."

After crossing into the Yangyue World, for the sake of safety and stability, he hasn't acquired any large items.

Maybe buying new directly in Inner City would be better than moving the old ones over.

So after queuing at the city gate for a while and being thoroughly screened by the guards, he finally entered Inner City.

But shortly after stepping out, he saw a familiar figure by the roadside.

Moreover, the frequency of demonic aura in the Outer City is rising, and many creatures have become contaminated.

"But…"

In fact, in his conception the Clinic's layout is still relatively simple.

That is the fundamental reason why people from the Outer City usually don't come to the Inner City.

"I'm not scared!"

If there were any good equipment, buying it would be a waste, so he simply kept quiet.

"I noticed an extra room on the second floor; if possible, I'd like…"

A notice announcing the move to the Inner City was posted on the Clinic's door, and Ji Ming, lugging big and small bundles, boarded the transport carriage.

So Ji Ming doesn't intend to bring Mouse Kid on this move—he now has his own team.

"The new Clinic looks really grand; if we can go from the Outer City to the Inner City, it must be quite troublesome, right?"

With daylight about to break, Ji Ming gave a brief briefing to Xi Er Wei Ya and hurried back to the Clinic to start packing.

Only six rooms meet all the needs; even a small two‑story building's floor area can't be fully used, and compared with the hospitals under the three major powers, it's practically a restroom.

AdaiEr is probably visiting the Inner City for the first time, constantly perched on the windowsill, peering through the curtain in all directions.

Hearing that she actually made such a request, some Charm‑23 was stunned and let out an "ah" sound.

But to maintain his frugal, nostalgic positive image, he still packed a bunch of odds and ends.

"Let's go with Wai Shu. How about the Wai Shu Clinic?"

Ji Ming pulled his body together and sighed.

"Hold on."

"The Outer City has been too dangerous lately; I'm just a pharmacist with no strength at all, I'm truly terrified…"

Only the Mouse Kids survived by relying on low‑quality potions; their strength not only didn't drop but increased, and they effortlessly seized many unclaimed territories.

"Doctor, if you're ready, we can set off right now!"

One wonders if the city planner's mind is flawed; this place turns out to be a rather desolate dead‑end.

"Huh?"

Crossing a wide road, the carriage arrived at a relatively bustling commercial street.

As a clever little mouse, Mouse Kid naturally had a rough idea about it.

"So, from now on, if you want to work, you'll have to go to the Inner City. Come on, I'll first introduce you to a gate."

"Doctor, the Inner City is different from the Outer City; many people here recognize the gate but not the person."

…at least you need to bring your own lucky ballast; later, when brewing medicine, you can't do without it to keep the pot lid down.

If it were the old her, she would definitely never have said that.

Now this new sofa is both spacious and soft; tonight there's a player‑versus‑kobold showdown, perfect for sitting back and watching the drama.

"Si Tong has already told you, hasn't he? My Clinic is preparing to move to the Inner City."

Therefore, Ji Ming originally thought about giving a couple of commands, or adding something else to showcase his professionalism.

Not to mention anything else, the marble tiles on the ground alone could instantly outclass the old Clinic's stone slabs.

But for some reason, she felt today's Doctor looked especially reliable, making one involuntarily want to trust him.

Having heard the Doctor say that, AdaiEr could only press her lips together.

When the commotion on their side ended, Ku Po also knocked on the Clinic's main door.

Even according to the description gestured by the Mouse Kids with their whole bodies, there was an incident last night where a pack of feral wild dogs bit a drunk to death.

"Tell me, how large has your expansion become now?"

Handing a slip of paper to Ji Ming, she left with the workers.

The tension on the giant's blood‑descended face eased a few degrees, and he pointed at the Clinic's main door.

???

"If you wish to run this place long‑term, I suggest you give the Clinic a name."

An ordinary shop here would be courting death, but Ji Ming runs a Clinic that waits for customers to come to him; setting it here is truly a quiet spot amid the bustle.

She whispered.

Why am I in such a hurry? It feels like there's nothing to move at all…

"It's already great, Ku Po; you're a very worthwhile friend."

"Indeed, swift and decisive."

AdaiEr lowered her head.

After finishing all this, she sat in the lobby waiting for Ku Po to bring people over.

Like Marvel's super‑soldier serum, the skinny little mouse that was just yesterday, after drinking a sufficient dose of low‑quality potion, could quickly become a strong big mouse.

"I think it's a bit improper, a lone man and woman living together; what if people start gossiping?"

The broken sofa that Cloi ripped apart at first, and the temporary old sofa they moved in later, both feel uncomfortable to sit on.

"OK, start the rush!"

So Ji Ming thought for a moment.

After praising it once, Ji Ming lifted his things and walked through the reinforced main door.

Ku Po could never have an objection, so the craftsman immediately carved this term onto a wooden board and hung it on the door.

From the armory all the way to the training ground, the harvesting spot in the middle barely stopped, chopping until the blades dulled.

AdaiEr didn't expect to see the Doctor here, and she slightly opened her mouth.

This delay pushed it to the dawn of the second day.

………

"So it's moving right now? I thought we'd wait a couple more days."

It means the pharmacist's middle junior disciple is harmless to people and beasts, and the mage elder and the middle elder dare not offend him, so he could pass the barrier so easily.
