The weapon refiner is not doing her job properly

Chapter 97 The Sacred Artifact for Sale
Because she was unfamiliar with the storage location, it took her more than an hour to find all the medicinal herbs.

Su Ninglong took it, her fingertips lightly tapping on the armrest of the chair. "From now on, take the medicine according to the two prescriptions every day. Don't mix them up. Put them in a storage box with compartments. Don't take them in advance. Treat it as a daily task."

The tasks Su Ninglong gave were quite complicated for the young people.

Lei Qingya didn't understand. Shen Zhaoming had said that asking questions directly about things you don't understand would help improve your understanding with Su Ninglong.

I'm an assistant now, but does that mean I'll be an assistant forever?

Even if you remain an assistant your whole life, there are high-salary and low-salary assistants, and the different levels mean you'll have access to different people.

When you can't understand your boss's thinking, proactively exploring their interests and work habits can be beneficial for "promotion".

"Ninglong, why do we have to do the same medicine dispensing procedure every day?"

"Because this is a prescription you need to memorize. If you memorize it once, you will forget it quickly. If you memorize it twice, you will still forget it quickly. But if you memorize it every day, you will be able to engrave it in your mind. In the future, when you take a dictation test, you need to put all the prescription, efficacy, and material information I gave you into your mind. If you make a mistake, you will be punished by copying it a hundred times."

Lei Qingya: "..."

If she hadn't asked today, would she have taken the exam without knowing?

The treacherous Boss Su!

"Come back here before 10 o'clock. You will undergo new training that will help you acquire special abilities."

Upon hearing that it would help him acquire special abilities, Lei Qingya put his little grievances to the back of his mind, "I'll definitely be on time."

Lei Qingya turned and ran towards the nearby car rental point, crossed the large lake, and the edge of the executive department's forest was in sight.

A two-meter-high alloy mesh wall is hidden among the bushes. The seemingly ordinary fence divides two worlds.

This is the wall between regular students and Star Alliance Inner Court students.

Lian Xinyi had just finished class when she received Lei Qingya's message and quickly ran to the gate.

"Isn't it only allowed to stay for one night?" Lian Xinyi casually put his arm around Lei Qingya's shoulder, then bent his other arm, revealing a bulge of snow-white, muscular muscle.

"How were the results of the special training?"

How can I tell him that his pale skin and bulging muscles actually diminish his tough-guy image?

"You smell like sweat, stay away from me."

“This is proof of hard work.” Lian Xinyi shook his head abruptly, beads of sweat tracing glistening parabolas in the air and splashing all over Lei Qingya’s face.

"You're itching for a beating, aren't you? Come here, let Daddy treat you." Lei Qingya grabbed his head, his knuckles pressed against his throat, as if to pinch him.

Shen Zhaoming and his colleagues had just finished get off work when they witnessed this scene and initially thought there was a fight going on.

“Qingya, Lianjiujiu,” Shen Zhaoming asked tentatively.

Lian Xinyi: "???"

One of Shen Zhaoming's roommates asked, "Your friend?"

“We’ve been childhood friends, we’ve been playing together since we were little.” Shen Zhaoming said, “You guys go back first, they’ve come looking for us, they must have something to say.”

The colleagues left first, leaving space for the three of them.

"When did I become known as Lian Qiuqiu?" Lian Xinyi questioned Shen Zhaoming.

Shen Zhaoming couldn't very well reveal that he had secretly peeked at Su Ninglong's screen and seen the word "cotton chirp," which left a deep impression on him.

"Because you're like the cotton ball in the meme. As white as cotton, you accept being stepped on by others with tears in your eyes and don't fight back. You are the epitome of a cotton ball."

Lei Qingya agreed with this explanation and decided to call Lian Xinyi "Chirp".

Lian Xinyi felt embarrassed, "Well, it's not that exaggerated, is it?"

"Don't mind what I said. Lei Qingya beat you up because you were being cheeky again?" Shen Zhaoming was wearing a white shirt, his long hair was tied up, and although he was eating well, he had become thin and had an indescribable ethereal air about him.

Before Lian Xinyi could speak, he said to Lei Qingya, "I didn't have time to chat with you yesterday. How about we go to the academy's late-night snack stall for a couple of drinks?"

“Hey, me too. I want to go too. I’m a student, please invite me,” Lian Xinyi interjected.

“There will be plenty of time in the future,” Lei Qingya explained. “My stay at the school as an assistant has already been specially approved.”

Upon hearing this news, Shen Zhaoming was happy for her.

Seeing that the two were ignoring him, Lian Xin immediately stepped between them, saying, "You can't ignore me."

Lei Qingya and Shen Zhaoming chuckled to themselves, then together raised their hands and pressed his head down. "Get out!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

The three of them laughed together; after being separated for two months, they had finally reunited.

Lei Qingya remembered the important matter and took out the jewelry box. "Su Ninglong asked me to give this to you. She got it from Yun Fei."

"How much..." Shen Zhaoming asked instinctively.

"You can't buy it even if you have the money."

What can't you buy with money?

Without even thinking, Xin Yi opened it to take a look. It was an ear-hook style, like a cool pair of headphones, with built-in ear clips to prevent it from falling off.

"A sacred artifact?" Shen Zhaoming hadn't expected Su Ninglong to be so extravagant right from the start.

Lei Qingya smiled and said to Lian Xinyi, "Didn't you say you were short of people to back you up? My boss is here to support you. Since you're suspected of getting in through connections, why not just confirm that you do?"

Lian Xinyi remained silent. He had only said it casually and never intended to seek support from anyone.

“I can’t accept it, and I’m not going into the simulator right now.” Shen Zhaoming thought it was too valuable and he couldn’t repay it. “She and I are friends, and we don’t need these things to maintain our relationship.”

"This is to ensure your own safety," Lei Qingya said earnestly. "Take it. You should know that my boss was kidnapped. Let me tell you, this is a custom-made one. In case you go missing, as long as you have this, Aoli and Qirui can find you immediately."

Lian Xinyi looked at Shen Zhaoming, knowing that if he didn't accept it, she wouldn't either.

But his sparkling eyes clearly longed for Shen Zhaoming to accept it.

Shen Zhaoming thought for a moment, then said, "Please thank Su Ninglong for me."

Lian Xinyi happily hugged the box to her chest. In the inner courtyard, not many people had sacred artifacts. The Qiankun Shrine didn't count; that could be bought with points.

"Please also thank Su Ninglong for me, and also the two robots she wanted. Custom-made ones take a long time to arrive. I was notified yesterday that they were finished. When would be a good time to send them to Su Ninglong?"

Speaking of this, Lei Qingya had a bit of a headache. Since starting work, he could think about things more comprehensively.

"Her godmother has already bought a robot. It's too advanced in intelligence, so it probably won't be able to get into the bar; that place is the Star Alliance's intelligence division. It's useless to Su Ninglong either. I'll ask her what to do."

This is all information Lei Qingya has gathered; the Star Alliance does not encourage the placement of overly advanced robots at intelligence outposts.

Especially considering the complicated family circumstances of the three of them, who knows if the customized robot has any spy equipment specifically targeting their family?

Moreover, it was customized using Xin Yi's name, which made it even more troublesome.

When Su Ninglong mentioned the restaurant robot, she misunderstood it as a customized, high-end intelligent robot, making a huge misunderstanding.

Zou Shuyi is a cautious person; if the robot is sent over, it will probably be placed in the storage room.

Or should she buy two more robots? And leave the custom-made robot unused?
"Never mind, I'll ask Su Ninglong first before deciding." After all the friends accepted the gifts, Lei Qingya waved, "Let's arrange a time to get together again, or we can go directly to the house next to Yangzhu Courtyard, where I live now."

"Yeah, bye."

Lian Xinyi couldn't wait to put on the earrings and use the screen as a mirror to admire her heroic figure.

The new sacred object not only has a cool appearance, but also fits the ears perfectly, so there is no foreign body sensation when wearing it.

“Mingming, shall we go grab a drink?” Lian Xinyi added, “In the future, when I enter the simulator, can I apply to use the sacred artifact data?”

"Dream on. You don't understand how hard it is for working people. All I want to do now is go back to my dorm and sleep. Let's go to Lei Qingya's place for drinks tomorrow." After a long day, Shen Zhaoming missed his bed. The work at the research institute wasn't going as smoothly as he'd hoped; there were too many safety procedures to master.

Fortunately, he was an intern, so he didn't need to work scheduled shifts and had regular weekends off.

"Okay, I'll come find you tomorrow."

Lian Xinyi was still in a good mood. When he returned to the dormitory, he was still wearing Qingxin earrings. The unique style immediately attracted the attention of his roommates.

Song Hu, wearing a bathrobe, came out of the bathroom and stared intently at Lian Xinyi's ear. How did the sacred artifact, which had just been put up for sale at the Star Alliance camp that afternoon, end up on Lian Xinyi's ear?

The two newly released sacred artifacts, totaling thirty pairs, are not yet available for use by ordinary people.

Each type was designed for a specific group of buyers. The over-ear style required Star Alliance hunter identification, while the white ear clip required a white hunter certificate or an inner court student certificate. They were all snapped up by hunters within a second of going live.

He was too slow and missed out, so he posted an offer to buy it online at a high price, but nobody paid him any attention.

Who would have thought that I would see it in the dormitory?

But isn't Lian Xinyi a transfer student? How could she be so well-informed?
"Are your earrings sacred artifacts?"

Song Hu was arguably the most arrogant person in the dormitory. He was always reluctant to speak, and when others asked him questions, he would respond with the simplest sentences, not caring whether others could understand him or not.

"Are you asking me?"

The other two people in the dormitory turned to look at him upon hearing this. They turned around from the sofa, looking surprised, but they suspected that it was just the same model.

"Who else but you would wear earrings?"

"Oh, this is indeed a sacred artifact." Lian Xinyi chuckled as she touched her earrings, feeling inexplicably thrilled at the thought of being able to bring a sacred artifact into dungeons in the future.

"Just bought it?" Song Hu probed casually.

Lian Xinyi instinctively sensed something was wrong and cautiously protected her earrings, saying, "It's a gift from someone else; it's bound to its owner. You can't take it away from me."

Song Hu and his two classmates secretly rolled their eyes. They weren't about to steal anything, but they couldn't help feeling that a beautiful flower was stuck in cow dung.

"Who stole your things?"

"If anyone has extra sacred artifacts to give you, just buy them. It's not shameful to buy sacred artifacts."

Song Hu wanted to see how Lian Xinyi would respond.

As a result, Lian Xinyi, who was usually as soft as a ball of cotton, stood up straight with her hands on her hips and her back stiffened.

"What's it to you? You pretend to ignore me all the time, but you always try to pry into anything good. Dream on. Anyway, it's not for you. I won't introduce my friends to you."

Now that his friends have all joined the Star Alliance, he and Xin Yi are no longer fighting alone, so who cares about them?

Lian Xinyi, beaming with pride, said to Song Hu, "Move aside, I need to take a shower."

He strode into the bathroom with an air of indifference, keeping his roommate out of sight.

That very night, an "earthquake" occurred at the Star Alliance camp, nearly causing chaos.

Hunters who have experienced the artifacts and those who haven't are all searching everywhere for them. A life-saving artifact that costs only 30,000 star coins is a huge drop in the price of artifacts.

They were all asking if they could transfer the account at a higher price, but the answer was no. A hunter account can only be purchased once for the time being, and all the buyers immediately claimed ownership of it.

Forget about transferring it, you won't even be allowed to touch a single wire.

The hunters pleaded and tried to reach Yun Fei through their connections, but Yun Fei simply turned off his phone and went to sleep. They had no choice but to turn to Assistant Liang instead.

If they weren't in such a hurry, and if they hadn't wanted to approach Assistant Liang, that guy would have been a money-devouring beast.

Even the gold-devouring beast has its moments when it has no gold left to devour, and Assistant Liang is getting annoyed to the point of exhaustion.

……

Lei Qingya hurriedly returned to his workshop. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he smelled a woody, burnt aroma mixed with an earthy smell. The aroma traveled from his nostrils to his temples, giving him a sensation of alternating astringency and bitterness.

"Ning Long, what are you doing?"

"Come here." Su Ninglong was in the yard, adding a dark liquid to a large wooden tub. There was a stove under the tub, heating water to keep the water temperature inside.

Lei Qingya went over and asked, "What can I do to help?"

"Go in and take a bath."

Lei Qingya looked up, and wisps of white smoke rose from the top of the wooden tub. "Seriously?"

“I’m not kidding, I’ve already prepared the clothes for you.” Su Ninglong pointed to a set of linen clothes next to her. “Soak it for half an hour, and then you have to soak it every day.”

"Boss, can you tell me why?" Lei Qingya swallowed hard, unable to imagine how effective stewing himself could be.

"Should I soak it or not? After all, even if I tell you now, you wouldn't understand the principle."

"Soak." Lei Qingya went to change his clothes.

Su Ninglong poured another pot of Chinese medicine and placed it in front of her. The strong smell of the medicine made her feel nauseous.

Yang Zhu couldn't stand it anymore; the whole yard and even the second floor smelled like it was being pickled. He went to the balcony and asked, "Little guy, what's going on?"

"Brewing the medicine." Su Ninglong looked at the bowl with a bitter expression. Why didn't she read more alchemy books before she transmigrated? She only looked at the prescriptions and not the alchemy techniques. She deserved to suffer.

"You made the medicine yourself? Did you brew it according to the doctor's instructions?"

"Which doctor would prepare Chinese herbal medicine by decocting raw materials?" Su Ninglong had never seen one. It wasn't that she didn't trust doctors nowadays, but rather that they couldn't treat her condition.

"Oh, honey, you can't take medicine randomly." Yang Zhu wanted to understand the situation, so she didn't stop her abruptly. "What's wrong with your health?"

"The soul is damaged."

Yang Zhu suddenly tugged at his finger, and "Ouch!" his chin hurt, only then realizing that he had pulled his beard.

"Are you joking?"

Su Ninglong looked around. The smell of medicine was almost killing the mosquitoes hovering nearby. This situation was definitely not a joke.

"Yeah, just kidding, isn't it funny?"

Lei Qingya had already dressed, climbed the escalator, and touched the water temperature. It looked very hot, but it was actually okay, only slightly higher than body temperature.

She closed her eyes, climbed in, and soaked herself in the wooden tub.

Su Ninglong also picked up the porcelain bowl and drank the slightly cooled medicine in one gulp.

Yang Zhu was speechless and could only sigh, "Take it easy, don't kill yourselves."
