Starting from scratch, Batman crushed my dream of getting rich

Chapter 294 Aftermath
P.S.: Sorry for the second update being a little late.
Qingtian Gourd (Immortal Grade)

Price: 90,000 asset points
Note: Regardless of whether you drink alcohol or not, the gourd will flash once every thirty seconds. If the gourd is not filled with alcohol when it flashes, it will be filled to capacity. Once filled, you can take a sip.

Note 2: One should not complain about fate, and one should live a simple life.

Note 3: When no special liquor is selected, coconut wine will be automatically generated by default. Each sip restores one-third of the current maximum health.

Holding the seemingly misty, green gourd, Ma Zhaodi noticed a faint glimmer of spiritual light emanating from it. Feeling it was too conspicuous, he subconsciously asked, "Could you disguise it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the brilliance on the gourd vanished, turning into an ordinary and dull dark blue.

"Good gourd, good gourd."

Ma Zhaodi gave a thumbs up twice. The disguise just now wasn't done by the system; it was the gourd that changed on its own. The system categorized this gourd as a "celestial item," and some of its spiritual functions were its natural characteristics. As the saying goes, treasures have spirits, and divine objects are naturally hidden. This must be the reason.

When he uncorked the bottle, a pure and refreshing aroma of wine immediately wafted out from the bottle. Ma Zhaodi sniffed it but couldn't detect any pungent smell.

He had never actually drunk alcohol before, because he disliked being drunk and the smell of alcohol. However, if it was the spiritual wine from the celestial gourd, he felt he would be willing to give it a try.

"The monkeys will still drink it." He thought to himself, "The basic version tastes like this, I can't even imagine what it would taste like if it were thirty years old or older."

The gourd and the Horn of Abundance are quite different. As an initial healing item, the Horn of Abundance is good for making life easier, while its healing effect is to restore a fixed number of units per second. This is very useful for ordinary people, but it is inevitably a bit ineffective against non-human battlefields with extremely long health bars.

Ma Zhaodi is relatively lucky; he hasn't encountered a situation requiring the treatment of non-humans in his previous jobs. However, from a proactive perspective, the Immortal-grade Qingtian Gourd, which restores health based on a percentage of maximum health, would undoubtedly be a superior alternative to the Corner of Abundance.

“However, a third of the healing amount is still a bit too little,” Ma Zhaodi thought to himself. “Why don’t we just use the gourd system?”

Indeed, the reason Ma Zhaodi bought the gourd, this divine item, was precisely because it was a self-contained system with highly flexible effects.

Lamb Stew (Superior Grade)
Price: 10,000 asset points
Note: Each sip immediately restores 20% of your current maximum health; then 5% per second for 5 seconds, for a total of 45% health.

Note 2: Flowers and red ribbons are offered as a token of respect, along with mutton, wine, and fruit platters, as a sincere gesture of offering.

After choosing the gourd, choose the wine. Different wines have different effects. In terms of healing, lamb wine is obviously stronger than coconut wine.

"Let's also get something to soak in alcohol."

Jade Pool Lotus Seeds (Superior Grade)

Price: 10,000 asset points
Note: Drinking alcohol instantly restores 1% of your health, then 1% every second for five seconds, for a total increase of 6% health restored.

Note 2: Kunlun Garden's Langfeng Garden has twelve jade towers and nine mysterious chambers, with a Jade Pool on the left and emerald waters on the right. Currently, a gourd can restore 51% of health, but since it's a life-saving item used for healing, Ma Zhaodi decided to further improve it.

Boshan Incense Burner (Superior Grade)
Price: 10,000 asset points
Note: After drinking the gourd, you gain 15% damage reduction.

Note 2: A censer of incense for eternal life, several scrolls of talismans for rebirth in the Pure Land.

Ma Zhaodi casually put the small, antique incense burner into his pocket—as long as he carried it on his person and there was no wine in the gourd, the Boshan burner could be used, and it didn't necessarily have to be used to burn any incense.

This perfectly matches the characteristics of the Qingtian gourd; it can be drunk in one gulp and provides a 29-second damage reduction effect within 30 seconds.

After completing the setup, Ma Zhaodi's asset points were basically depleted, but he was certain that he probably wouldn't need to buy any more healing abilities before leaving this universe.

"Okay, now I need to feed each of them a sip—is there a more hygienic way to give them alcohol?"

As it turned out, the gourd's intelligence far exceeded expectations. As soon as Ma Zhaodi finished speaking, a stream of transparent liquid flew out of the gourd's mouth, coalesced into a small liquid ball in the air, and then quickly flew into the mouth of an injured person in the corner.

"Huh? What?"

The wounded soldier subconsciously closed his mouth, savoring the sweet and refreshing taste. Lamb's Brew is different from coconut wine. Although the Immortal Gourd can elevate the taste of both to the level of fine wine, the basic version of coconut wine is still ordinary. The superior lamb's brew has a very good base, and with the addition of extraordinary ingredients like Jade Pool lotus seeds, the taste is even more intoxicating.

When the wounded man finally snapped out of his daze from the intoxicating aroma of the wine, his injuries had miraculously healed completely, but he couldn't find the source of the delicious liquid anywhere. If it weren't for the lingering, delightful aftertaste, he would have almost thought that everything that had just happened was an illusion.

Meanwhile, Ma Zhaodi had already walked quite a distance with his wine gourd. The dark environment of the hospital saved him a lot of trouble, and he didn't even need to worry about surveillance—he used his master-level stealth abilities to the fullest, and no one noticed his figure patrolling the entire hospital.

He hadn't yet tested the effectiveness of a 30-second recovery frequency in combat; but outside of combat, this recovery frequency was already quite sufficient.

"It's a pity Barry can't move." He thought to himself, "I don't know what effect waking him up early will have on the Speed ​​Force and his body's integration. The best thing to do is to do nothing."

In one hour and sixty minutes, a total of 120 people could be cured. However, there were definitely not that many seriously injured people in the entire hospital tonight. Most of them only had minor injuries such as bumps and bruises and bleeding. Ma Zhaodi stayed in the hospital for less than an hour. After confirming that all the seriously injured people were out of danger, he slipped out of the hospital and rushed to the next one.

"Hurry up and finish it. After you're done, take advantage of the chaos to put my falsified documents into the relevant agencies."

The following day, major media outlets in the city center began reporting on the massive explosion that occurred the previous night, and the police and the city government jointly launched a post-disaster statistical assessment.

"Based on the police investigation and the follow-up by our reporters, it can be confirmed that the fire and loud noise last night were caused by a major malfunction in the particle accelerator experiment. Dr. Harrison Wells' miscalculation of the weather effects led him to issue the wrong order to continue the experiment. At the time of the accident, the particle accelerator experienced a major explosion, and the aftershocks swept through the Star Lab, as well as the media attending the surrounding press conference and many science enthusiasts."

"Currently, the government has decided to temporarily close the Star Labs."
