Chapter 55 Playing a Hometown Tune
Fang Qi was busy counting gold coins, and while doing so, he used a small note to urge Vance to deposit the money quickly.
A long line of students was waiting in front of him. Vance had only saved tens of thousands of gold coins yesterday, which was hardly enough.
Fang Qidu planned to cover the money for Vance first.
He wasn't worried about the other party reneging on the agreement, after all, the contract had already been signed, and it was signed when both parties were sober and willing, so there were no disputes...
If Vance dares to default on its debt, it will trigger the "malicious transaction" on the trading terminal, allowing Fang Qi to defend himself and find ways to earn it back double.
Finding it too troublesome to explain one by one, Fang Qi simply set up three buttons on the screen: white, blue, and purple.
Each item corresponds to a separate purchase of the "Le Long" beverage. The standard cube can be purchased for an additional credit, and the rubber shield and standard cube can be bundled together for an additional credit.
Limited-time offer, one item per person.
Of course, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Even if Fang Qi were to run a limited-purchase promotion, he wouldn't pass up the opportunity to make money.
If someone can clear out the first three items, it proves they are very wealthy, and they have also prepared a mystery item, which is the fourth golden button.
Leading the charge was still that same law student.
He was extremely anxious because of the slogan he had just seen, and when June announced that the exam was over, he rushed up waving his credit card.
He ran closer, leaped up, and swiftly shoved the cards into the reader: "Give me a little of everything, that'll make 3432 credits, right?"
Fang Qi accepted the card and saw that it contained over ten thousand yuan!
This Spirit Chestnut Clan member named Momod is quite short and looks very young, yet he is incredibly wealthy. I wonder what his family does for a living.
There are still 7,000 credits left. We didn't prepare much this time, so we'll let his wallet off the hook for now and arrange it for him next time!
Under the eager gaze of his customers, Fang Qiku finished shipping the goods and thoughtfully threw a few wooden blocks on the ground as ladders.
This fat sheep...this person will definitely be a big feeder in the future. If we can feed him well, we can treat him appropriately!
Climbing the ladder, he reached the delivery port just in time, and Momo rubbed his hands together to take the goods.
Ding Dong!
The sudden noise interrupted his actions. He looked up and saw a golden button that occupied half of the logic board.
"Didn't I already buy it?" Momod asked, looking puzzled, as he tentatively reached out and clicked.
Congratulations on winning the chance to purchase the hidden drink!
"Would you like to receive 500 credits for this device, and randomly select one of the following?"
Fang Qi didn't mention how many hidden versions there were, nor what their effects were; his main goal was to whet people's appetites and let them take the bait.
Momod was clearly the one who volunteered. He glanced at his remaining 7810 credits and clicked "gift" without a second thought.
Credits were deducted instantly, and a blue-red can of beverage fell from the chute.
【Ice and Fire Duet, Grade C consumable, made with ice mint milk as the base and garnished with fire kiss rock hot sauce.】
After drinking it, one can be refreshed and invigorated by the clash of ice and fire, and it also has a magical enhancement effect.
One bite is spicy, then another bite relieves the spiciness; the flavor is truly unique.
Fang Qifa swore that although the inspiration for "Ice and Fire Duet" came from the fish-man deity and he liked the color scheme, it was definitely different from the previous wheat wine concoctions and was not a culinary disaster.
Instead, it is one of the flagship products that combines novel experiences with practical functions.
During his free time these past few days, he and Rose spent a lot of time researching recipes and adjusting flavors.
While maintaining the desired effect and reducing costs, the Ice and Fire Duet has been optimized to its third version, and the taste is very similar to the spicy snack milk tea from my previous life...
It's at a level that most people can tolerate with a little patience, and for those who love spicy food, it's even a delicacy!
Momod had never been on any player forums, let alone seen Gulgar; he just thought the drink's color was a bit strange.
"Huh, there's also an instruction manual?" He opened the included note.
"When consumed in moderation, it can refresh the mind and enhance magical abilities. Note: Before drinking, please ensure that there are no ulcers, inflammation, or other discomfort in the mouth or throat."
"Huh?" Momod could read the words, but not the content.
What does it mean to make sure you're not overheated before drinking a beverage?
He didn't actually have a sore throat, but judging from the description, his throat was a little sore.
"There's no strange smell..." She unscrewed the cap and sniffed it. "Oh well, it should be fine. With the senior student demonstrating in front of so many professors, she definitely wouldn't harm me!"
Momod wasn't an alchemist or a chef, so he couldn't smell what was added to it; he just thought it was a bit pungent.
Thinking he'd need it tomorrow anyway, he didn't investigate further. He simply shoved it into his pocket, jumped down the steps, and strode away with an air of indifference.
"Thank you for your patronage!" Fang Qi said as he saw the customer off.
One after another, they were busy catering to different customers based on their budget, working until late at night.
He ate a bit too much today, and he even felt a little dizzy.
Fang Qi finally had some free time after the students left at Vance's urging.
Just then, Rosie returned with the "Dragon Summoning Flute".
Seeing that no one was around, she deftly opened the box lid, crawled into the cargo hold, and shuffled around until she found a good spot to settle in.
"Mr. Box, guess who I saw during the day?"
They even brought back someone else's Dragon Summoning Flute, do we even need to guess?
Fang Qi immediately replied, "Seth? He bribed you. What does he want us to do?"
His gaze fell upon the props that had just been brought into the warehouse:
【Dragon Summoning Flute, CCC-level entity, communication item.】
It is made of silver-white metallic alloy, smelted using excellent processes.
When someone with the right bloodline performs, it sends a special message to the dragons in the sea of magic, and they may respond.
The original pathway has been severed, and information is easily lost in the sea of magic; it may be necessary to wait for some opportune moment.
No wonder Seth carried it around in his hands every day and nothing happened; it turns out he was doing it wrong.
The network cable is broken, so cleaning up the computer case won't help!
The Dragon Summoning Flute doesn't seem to have a clear purpose yet, so it's fine to let Loxi take it and study it.
Dragons are legendary, high-ranking creatures in this world, and they are nowhere to be found. If Roxi is lucky enough to make contact with one, it would be a windfall.
"Mr. Box must have been spying on me." Rosie muttered, picking up the flute. Instead of playing it, she gathered a ball of magic and gently sent it into the flute.
With a flick of her wrists, magic swirled around her, and musical notes and melodies coalesced at her fingertips.
"This is the melody from the Sky Island in my dream. It took me several days to piece it together and memorize it. What do you think?" Rosie asked.
"It's very good," Fang Qi said, not knowing anything about music, so he could only make it up: "It has a kind of leisurely feeling of being isolated from the world."
Loxi rolled her eyes. This was clearly the background music that the dragons used to liven up the atmosphere when they played cards. It sounded exciting and energetic, not leisurely at all.
"I went to the shopping street today and there was an empty shop in the middle. Shall we go and buy it?" she shared her findings from today's scouting trip.
"How's the rent? Are there any discounts?"
When it came to opening a shop, Fang Qi finally became interested and was about to ask about the details when the [Historical Text] flashing in the circular corridor caught his attention.
After being dormant for several days, it has finally recharged and turned the page!
