Chapter 444 The Host Has Become Smarter
Master Jin?
Lu Jingyan's smile faltered slightly as he looked up at He Zhizhou, who was sitting to the side scrolling through his phone indifferently. He Zhizhou also looked up.
That Master Jin must be the person who makes the medicine...
The perpetrator of Bai Yisha's bitten lip has not yet been identified.
He Zhizhou stood up from his seat, strode over to the banquet table with his long, slender legs, and gestured for the others to stop.
"Tell me, who is Master Jin? If you do, we'll let you off this time."
Xi Yan was beaten so badly he looked like a pig's head, with Cheng Wangxun contributing the most.
He was forced to look up, and the initial arrogance in his eyes was long gone.
He used to hang out on the streets, but in the blink of an eye, he was stuffed into a sack and brought to this godforsaken place, where the other party started beating him up without warning.
They beat me for almost half an hour! And it didn't stop!
His face was bruised and swollen, and what's worse, there was a man there who kept giving him pills!
There's a seemingly weak man here, holding a laptop and typing away, and this other person in front of him. Apart from these two, everyone else has started to act.
Including Xi Yanchen.
He understood the situation clearly. Although He Zhizhou hadn't made a move, he seemed to have the most say. When he called for a halt, the others truly stopped making a move.
Besides Cheng Wangxun riding on his back, he also punched him twice, muttering things like "I've gotten it dirty again," full of disgust.
If he wants to live, he has to cling to He Zhizhou's coattails!
"I'll talk, I'll talk! I only know a little bit, I'll tell you everything I know, please spare me..."
......
Sang Biao glanced at the transfer notification above.
It would be foolish to refuse money.
He readily accepted the money, divided it equally among the remaining brothers, instructed them to guard the door, and then went downstairs to fetch the millet porridge.
Bai Yisha buried her face in the blanket, leaving two welts from crying.
[Host, there's no need to cry like this. It's not like we don't have any left; we have plenty more, and it's not like we can't earn more.]
Bai Yisha kicked her feet, pushing the blanket off the bed, looking utterly dejected, her cheeks puffed out.
"That's my flesh, my flesh! I worked so hard to earn it, I saved it up for so long... Waaaaah..."
With her current merit of less than two thousand, she can only exchange for Category B items in the system shop. Category B items are mostly useless things. A Category A item costs one thousand merit, not to mention blessings.
"Then how about we don't exchange it?"
"That won't do either. If I don't change, I'll lose all my blessings."
Bai Yisha rolled over, pulled out a few tissues to wipe her nose, and let out a long sigh.
She was very interested in the item that could bring the dead back to life that Fude had exchanged for.
Maybe it can save your life in a critical moment?
[Who told you to keep doing such unethical things? You don't even earn as much as you're being cheated out of. Are you going to switch hosts or not?]
"Let's change it, let's change it..."
[Ding—Exchange successful! Congratulations, host, you have gained 1600 merit points, bringing your total merit points to 3458. Would you like to exchange them for enhancement points? 10 merit points can be exchanged for 1 enhancement point.]
Bai Yisha: "Let me think about it."
Bai Yisha's mind paused for a moment before she quickly began to think.
Perhaps it was because Bai Yisha's IQ had increased, but she seemed to be thinking about a lot more things.
She was thinking that once her merits reached 100,000, they would automatically convert into 1 point of good fortune. However, if she wanted to exchange them for good fortune, she would need to accumulate 1 million merits.
When the system is upgraded to the third stage, SSS-level items will be unlocked, with a minimum exchange cost of 100 points of merit. The skill of resurrection requires 1000 points of merit.
In that case, the points cannot be used for the lottery. The system automatically judges and estimates it, and there's nothing she can do about it. Besides, there are too many pitfalls in the lottery, so she should avoid it if possible, unless the emperor gives her a benefit.
[...] The system listened silently to Bai Yisha's inner thoughts.
The naive and innocent host has suddenly become intelligent, and it's still a little unaccustomed to it.
Bai Yisha pondered for two minutes.
She has five attributes on her panel that can be enhanced. If all of them reach 1,000, she can gain 50 points of merit, which will benefit her. Before the system is upgraded, she should take advantage of these 50 free merits.
She also remembered that once the bound object's favorability was at 100%, increasing the favorability further would grant 10 points of merit.
There are currently six characters with 100% affection level...
How can I gain their favor...?
Never mind all that for now, let's change the panel properties first.
After thinking for a moment, she asked, "I currently have 3458 merit points. How many enhancement points can I get by exchanging 2000 merit points?"
2000 merit points can be exchanged for 200 enhancement points.
200 ah.
Bai Yisha: "Then change it. Change all of them to constitution."
[Okay, host. Merit conversion in progress... Conversion successful. Constitution value: 435 points. Current merit points: 1458.]
She still has 600 points of physique left, enough to snatch one. She wants to improve her physique so she can save some energy for running away.
As for keeping a thousand merits, it's to prevent myself from having a brain fart and getting into a fight one day, in case it gets taken away and I get electrocuted by the emperor.
After changing her clothes, Bai Yisha felt dizzy and fell to the side uncontrollably, fast asleep.
When He Zhizhou and the others returned, they saw Bai Yisha with her head drooping by the bedside, asleep with her eyes closed, her wet hair hanging down beside her, soaking the sheets.
The blankets were kicked all over the floor.
"This silly girl, isn't she afraid of getting sick?"
Lu Jingyan came in and picked up the blanket from the floor.
There was no air conditioning in the room, and it was chilly for a while.
There was still untouched millet porridge on the table, which had stopped steaming.
Cheng Wangxun had someone bring a new quilt for Bai Yisha, and the quilt in Lu Jingyan's hand was taken away by the staff.
He Zhizhou picked up Bai Yisha and took her to blow-dry her hair.
Bai Yisha whimpered twice, half-opened her eyes and saw that it was He Zhizhou, then closed her eyes again to sleep peacefully.
He Zhizhou chuckled softly, kissed her on the forehead, and sat on the bed, holding her as he dried her hair.
They were in a bad mood, thinking about the 'Master Jin' that Xi Yanxian had mentioned earlier.
Xi Yanxian said that Master Jin was very famous in Haicheng. He liked to make prank pills or powders that would only embarrass people and would not have any other effect.
There are risks involved, though, because the price is as high as one billion.
Unless there's a deep-seated hatred between them, they wouldn't spend that money to buy that medicine.
When Master Jin sold medicine, he was very mysterious. At first, no one could see what he looked like. Later, a bar suddenly appeared, and the owner of the bar was also called Master Jin.
Therefore, people in the underworld often speculate that the "Brother Jin" in the bar might be the same "Brother Jin" who makes pharmaceuticals.
As a result, Jinye's bar was not bothered by anyone.
Based on what they found out and what Xi Yanxian said, they were almost certain that the people at the bar and the dental clinic were the same person.
The person who made the medicine was Mu Shijin. Xi Yan went to him to buy the medicine and gave it to Bai Yisha.
Why did Mu Shijin go to ambush Bai Yisha? Was it him who bit her lip?
