I work as a sorcerer in the US, and my side hustle is building Gundams.

"Okay... then..."

Lynn was helpless; he was so hungry he could eat a whole cow.

And so, the two of them arrived outside the green tent in the middle. The tent zipper wasn't fully closed, and there was no light inside, but a strange, sweet smell wafted out.

"The smell of western leaves..."

Lynn identified the source of the smell based on his predecessor's memories, but strangely, he didn't feel nauseous at all.

According to the memories he received, the body's predecessor was a devout Christian who kept his distance from all kinds of evil potions and leaves and never touched them.

But because the living environment was so harsh, they had long since become accustomed to these smells.

"Old John, you have antibiotics and that... never mind, Lynn, you should talk to him yourself."

The aroma wafting from inside was nostalgic and reignited his craving for citrus. Mike quickly pulled his head back and pinched his right arm hard with his left hand to control his rising desire.

After all, he had fallen to the ground several times before due to overdosing on enhancers and leaf products, almost going directly to meet his Lord Satan, and then being sold to corpse collectors.

So during this time he was trying his best to restrain his desires, and of course, Lynn's original self also played a role in constantly dissuading him.

Lynn quickly stepped forward, enduring the other foul smells emanating from inside, and spoke his needs into the darkness.

"Cough cough... I have antibiotics, cefuroxime costs $50 a pill, mecobalamin costs $5 a pill, but I don't have acetylglutamine, that stuff is hard to get and expensive..."

"Huh? Cephalosporin is $50 a pill?"

Lynn, feeling like his body was about to fall apart, was shocked. How could this thing be so expensive? He remembered that back in China, he could buy a whole slab for 20 yuan, and that was in RMB!

"Don't complain about the price; you can't buy this anywhere else!"

Seemingly sensing Lynn's hesitation, a voice came from inside the tent again.

"Okay... two cephalosporins, twelve methylcobalamin tablets..."

To save his life, Lynn was going all out, as both of these were things he desperately needed after his serious injuries and weakened recovery.

The former can quickly kill bacteria and reduce inflammation, while the latter can repair broken or damaged nerves and needs to be taken for a long time. However, this medicine is too expensive, so he can only buy a four-day supply for now.

He endured the excruciating pain, took out eight bills from his pocket, counted them out, and handed them in.

Then, not long after, a small paper packet made of newspaper scraps was thrown out of the tent.

Lynn quickly opened the paper package and saw two thumb-sized white pills and 12 small brownish-yellow pills, each about a quarter the size of a fingernail.

He quickly picked up the large and small ones, put them in his mouth, moistened them with saliva, and swallowed them directly.

[The host has been detected to have taken a beneficial drug, and the negative effects have been alleviated accordingly.]

[Health: 20/30, you are out of the killing threshold].

Normally, it takes at least half an hour to an hour for the medicine to take effect after taking it, but this must be due to the system's effect; the medicine took effect instantly.

"Well, one cephalosporin and one mecobalamin added 10 points of health... There's no need to worry about bleeding to death for now, but the stamina cap is still too low. No wonder it's a weak resurrection after its attributes were reduced by 75%."

"Old John, is there anything to eat?"

Relieved, Lynn continued to ask questions inside.

"There's no food. Go and line up to get some yourself."

The voice was even weaker than before, and it was unclear what state old John was in inside.

Lynn didn't ask any more questions, stood up and walked towards Mike, who was chatting with someone in another tent.

"I got you a banana and a carton of yogurt."

As soon as I walked over, Mike handed me two things.

"Oh? That's great! Thank you so much..."

The bananas were very soft and covered with black spots. The yogurt was only about the size of a child's fist, and the container itself felt soft to the touch.

But this was a rare energy supplement, and Lynn didn't mind. He took it, tore open the banana peel, and swallowed it in large gulps.

When the sweet starch comes into contact with the mouth, it is instantly broken down into maltose by salivary amylase, making the already sweet banana even sweeter.

After taking another sip of the slightly diluted yogurt, Lynn felt as if she had instantly come back to life.

[You consumed food, and your negative state was alleviated accordingly.]

[Health: 30/30]

Lynn then felt like she had truly come back to life.

Thanks, bro~

He extended his fist as he remembered it, and sure enough, Mike extended his fist and bumped it with his.

"You're welcome, you helped me before, bro~"

Mike exchanged a polite greeting with him and then continued chatting with the people in the tent.

Lynn didn't know what to do next, so he opened his virtual panel and started looking at the shop.

There are only a pitifully small amount of items inside for now.

A red and blue medicine bottle, pure spring water and banana bread, an empty bottle for alchemy, and a soul stone.

Both the red and blue bottles are small and only add 50 points of health or mana, each costing $100.

The pure spring water can be used for drinking or as a material for making other items. 500 ml, $50, includes a rough leather water bag.

Banana bread, on the other hand, increases health by 10 points and provides a feeling of fullness in real life; it also costs $50.

Empty bottles are out of the question, they're not very useful for now, and as for soul stones...

Lynn's eyes lit up when he saw this thing!

He actually saw this thing when he first saw the store, but he was bleeding to death at the time and didn't have time to think about it.

When I finally saw this thing, I was completely shocked and dumbfounded!

[Crafted from the souls of sentient beings, these are essential items for warlocks to cast certain spells.]

Price: $10000

"Holy crap! I can actually buy soul fragments? Does that mean I'll really be able to make candy, open portals, and even summon demons like imps and succubi from the void?"

Because his current warlock skills consist of only the barely useful Curse of Weakness, he has no idea when he will be able to acquire a powerful spell that can extract souls.

Therefore, Lynn didn't have much thought about this aspect.

But now that I see they're selling them in stores...

Does that mean I can really become a powerful demon warlock in the future?

Moreover, this store seems to have a buyback function, where the purchase price is 1/10 of the original price!

Well, it really is a ridiculously high price set by those damn planners.

But this also gave Lynn a new idea to make money!

"If I really master the soul-absorbing skill, wouldn't I be able to extract other people's souls and sell them to shops for a fortune? I could sell one for $1000!"
