Chapter 113: Zhao Si: Something Doesn't Sound Right
Su Xia lifted the partition and saw the wooden stairs leading to the second underground floor.
Before he could take any action, he smelled a strong medicinal odor, which smelled like a mixture of various medicines.
“Crack…”
He stepped on the wooden stairs and went down step by step.
Soon , the vast underground space came into his sight.
The first thing you see is rows of shelves that stretch as far as the dark horizon.
In addition to these shelves, there are countless large wooden boxes randomly placed in the corners, with handwritten labels on the boxes saying " Alien Zerg Mummies", "Special Rocks", "Suspected Alien Remains", etc.
With such a large underground space, I’m afraid my dad must have dug up the entire street underground.
"Do the other shop owners on the street have any objections?"
Su Xia looked around and saw rows of shelves filled with unused medicines, densely packed, neatly arranged, and countless.
Among them, first-level potions are the most numerous.
Under some first-level potions are pasted yellowed sticky notes with the thoughts of Hong Bafu and Lan Bafu written on them.
Su Xia tore off a piece of notepaper and took a look. On it was Hong Bafu's handwriting: "Today, my father asked me to refine more than 200 first-level healing potions. My hands are sore from refining them. My hands were shaking when I was eating at night. I have to eat more to supplement my nutrition. Oh..."
More than 200 sticks a day?
From eight in the morning to ten at night, it takes an average of four minutes to make one.
At that time, Hong Bafu probably did n't have psychic powers. He was just an ordinary person with a slow recovery speed and limited energy. It was really torture for him to practice so many of them.
Lan Bafu who joined later was also in a miserable state. He was tortured to the point of numbness.
Even though they would be able to refine second-level potions soon, Dad still asked them to refine a large number of first-level ones.
Perhaps it is because of this devilish training that the two of them were able to become third-level pharmacists at such a young age.
As for Su Xia...
Dad doesn't need to rush him.
His own training intensity is sufficient, no weaker than that of Hong Bafu and Lan Bafu, otherwise he would not have so many potions in his hands.
"That's enough potions."
Su Xia walked around the second floor.
In the darker southeast corner, he found another partition.
This partition seemed to lead to the third underground floor, but it was locked and Su Xia did not have the key.
"What's on the third underground floor?"
Su Xia found it strange. If her father could just casually throw something like "suspected remains of alien creatures" on the second floor, what else was worth locking up down there?
With doubts, Su Xia returned to the first floor of the pharmacy.
Just then, a few players looked outside the pharmacy.
When they saw Su Xia in front of the laboratory table through the glass, their eyes lit up, they looked up at the pharmacy sign, and then hurried away.
"People from Four Seasons Rice?"
Su Xia noticed those players.
During the previous melee in the mine, these players were from Sijidao’s side. Now they suddenly appeared here, looking sneaky, which is definitely not a good thing.
Could it be that Sijidao guy wants to attack the pharmacy?
Judging from his personality, it is very likely.
Sijidao is Zhao Si's subordinate. If he wants to attack the pharmacy, he must find Zhao Si.
But Su Xia is now an undercover arranged by Zhao Si...
When she thought of this, Su Xia couldn't help but smile.
Hong Bafu next to him asked, "Brother, what are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, I just thought of something happy."
…
On the game forum, posts about mining PK have already ranked in the top ten.
Su Xia's Ecstasy Powder shocked countless players.
Most of the replies below point to one thing - he is a spy arranged by the game company!
Of course, any normal person would understand that it is impossible for a game company to arrange such an obvious agent to post comments just to join in the fun.
Others said the fight was great: "That Sijidao betrayed his teacher and got a decent set of equipment. I thought he was so powerful, but more than 200 people couldn't beat one of them. It's so funny!"
“+1, so funny!”
“…”
Similar taunts can be found everywhere under this post.
Sijidao was also browsing the thread. He was so angry that he was shaking all over. He personally put on a vest and went to curse at these people. He also mobilized his team members in the group to curse together.
The two sides once again started a long-lasting online war of words.
But this time, Sijidao was defeated and was labeled as "garbage", "weakling", "loser" and so on, and it was obvious that it could not defeat the opponent.
He was defeated in his first battle, which was a huge blow to his reputation.
Even within the team of several hundred people, there were many questioning voices.
If it weren't for the monthly allowance of 500 game coins, many people in the team might have run away on the spot.
"Damn it, how dare these rubbish scold me?"
Sijidao was so angry that his eyes popped up. He was extremely annoyed, and the frustration and anger in his chest almost made him explode.
He immediately logged into the game and escaped from the mine while other players in the mine were not paying attention.
Then he opened his storage space, found a few very valuable props, took screenshots of the properties and descriptions of these props, and saved them in his personal account.
Afterwards, he logged into the forum, opened a separate post, uploaded screenshots of these props, and titled the post:
[Those losers who scold me, come and see what this is! ]
The first screenshot in this post is a psychic potion.
This was given to him by Zhao Si.
Sijidao put the screenshot of the potion at the very beginning of the post in order to shock the players.
He wrote in the post: "Did you see this? This is the first psychic potion that players get! A bunch of poor people with a monthly salary of 2,800 yuan are so jealous of me when I get something good, and are mocking me online. You can continue to scold me, but after that, you are still a bunch of losers!"
The psychic potion is such a precious thing that the first player who gets it will definitely not be able to hold back and will release it on the forum.
I searched for Sijidao and found no such post before.
So he subconsciously thought that he was the first person to get the psychic potion since the game was launched.
After posting this message, Sijidao immediately notified the people in his team to leave comments under the post.
So the following comments started to appear.
"Boss is awesome!"
"Those people are just jealous. They can't get it themselves, so they are jealous."
"I'm just a passerby, not criticizing or praising you, the OP really didn't do anything wrong..."
“…”
Soon, this post became popular.
Someone caught the loophole and taunted him: "It's so funny! Do you think people scold you because they are jealous of you? That pharmacist 'Evil Bubble' is so many times more awesome than you, why doesn't anyone scold him?"
"Well said! Evil Bubble didn't betray his teacher!"
“…”
Countless messages began to support this comment, and soon the popularity overshadowed the messages previously posted by Sijidao’s own people.
Unknowingly, these guys brought some popularity to Su Xia and the Bikini Bottom team.
After seeing these messages, Sijidao was almost going crazy.
As the poster, he began to delete comments frantically.
He deleted every comment that opposed him.
But soon, a player opened a separate thread and began to summarize the comments that were deleted by Sijidao, attracting countless people to watch.
"Fuck! Fuck!"
Sijidao's eyes turned red and he was so angry that he started speaking in foreign languages.
In fact, if he hadn't used a pseudonym to argue with those people, this matter wouldn't have attracted so much attention. After all, there is heat only when there is discussion.
His act of opening a single post and using "psychic potion" to mock others doubled the number of people who cursed him.
But that’s not all.
Not long after, a player suddenly opened a new thread.
The title of the post is:
[Psychic potion? I think I should be the first one to get it]
The name of the player who posted the message was "Lin Shan".
In the post, he directly posted a screenshot of himself getting the psychic potion, and the screenshot had the time printed on it.
It was obvious that he got the psychic potion much earlier than Sijidao.
He also released a screenshot of himself with perfect equipment.
This set of equipment was carefully selected for him by Su Xia. It is much better than Sijidao's and even comes with two psychic weapons.
Lin Shan also released a screenshot of his character panel, and said: "Shouldn't you inject the psychic potion after you get it? Why did you keep the 'Four Seasons Rice'? Are you reluctant to give it up? Everyone knows that there is a certain chance of awakening psychic talent after injecting it?"
This post went viral the moment it was released and was immediately pushed to the top ten.
With this equipment, Lin Shan can compete with the regular soldiers of Coral City.
Countless players left messages below expressing their envy.
Some people asked him how he got it.
Lin Shan quickly replied: "The psychic potion and this set of equipment are the rewards I received for defending my organization."
He briefly described his preparations and efforts to join the North Wind Organization.
Then he mercilessly mocked Sijidao: "Why does he have to betray the organization to get something he can get by protecting it? Is this person seriously ill?"
It has to be said that Lin Shan’s attainments in language arts are not low.
Countless people expressed their support below.
"Well said!"
"Awesome! Hit the nail on the head!"
"Correct, direct, pertinent..."
“…”
After seeing these comments, Sijidao was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
How could any player resist the honor of being the first to get the psychic potion?
Just then, he finally received the first good news of the day.
In the group, someone privately messaged him: "Boss, I found the pharmacy of that 'evil bubble'!"
"What? Where?"
"It's in the southwest corner of the city, at that old man's pharmacy!"
The man sent him a few screenshots of the game, which were the scenes outside the store.
Through the glass window, you can clearly see Su Xia's appearance.
"Okay, I'll give you an extra 1,000 yuan in subsidies next month!"
Sijidao took a deep breath, looked fierce, and immediately ran towards the office building in the city center.
His chance for revenge has come!
Revenge never ends overnight, this is his life motto!
In the office building, Sijidao found Zhao Si who was working and said hurriedly, "Sir, I have something to report!"
"What is it? Sit down and talk."
Zhao Si sat in an office chair, speaking in a calm tone, with a cup of light tea in front of him.
Since the city lord Qi Lang also liked drinking tea, he also started a tea drinking life.
Sijidao immediately sat opposite Zhao Si and told him what happened in the mine with exaggeration, emphasizing Su Xia's problem.
But before he could finish his words, Zhao Si interrupted him and asked, "You mean... Dad's pharmacy?"
"Yes, sir!"
"Is that so?"
Zhao Si took a sip of tea.
He put down the teacup with a strange look on his face.
"Describe to me again what the pharmacist looked like."
