Their commission was suspicious.

That's why Chen Luo decided to use Haisi Oral Solution, a treatment for Orthopaedics, as a backup strategy among all treatment methods.

Because it is inexpensive to manufacture.

As for the more expensive treatments for Orthoker's Surgery, let's leave that to the wealthy who are also sick.

The mindset of the wealthy is truly hard to understand, especially after they learn where Haisi oral liquid is extracted from. There might be two contrasting reactions: one is that they flock to it, and the other is that they avoid it like the plague.

The former contrast arises because simply claiming that Haisi has beauty-enhancing, aphrodisiac, and kidney-tonifying effects could attract a large number of people.

The latter contrast is because the richer people are, the more afraid they are of dying. Could there be any problems with Haisi oral liquid being so cheap?

You get what you pay for. I'm so rich, why don't I buy something more expensive?

Trust between people is very scarce on Terra.

"Let's talk about this bar and Talulah." As soon as Chen Luo said this, Chen's gaze was drawn to him.

If you tell me the story of Talulah, I won't be sleepy anymore!

"Once upon a time, there was a mountain..."

"Ok?"

"I'm saying that once upon a time there was Ursus, and within Ursus lived an ancient will called the Black Serpent. It possessed the power to possess others and take over their consciousness. And this generation's immortal Black Serpent is named Koschche..."

Upon hearing this name, Chen's pupils contracted slightly, because it was Duke Koschche of Ursus who had taken Talulah away.

"And then?" Chen pressed.

"The following chapters are paid content..."

As we all know, paid chapters are not charged from the beginning. They will let you read a few dozen or a hundred words first to arouse your interest.

"...What do you want?"

"If you want to treat Oripathy in the future, you must come to me. That's my only request." Chen Luo still couldn't forget the raw stone on Chen's body.

But Chen Luo also knew that he and Chen had actually met only a handful of times, and that it was abnormal for their relationship to develop so quickly that they were mutually dependent on each other.

Especially since Chen's ore disease is still very mild, there's no need to rush into treatment without proper medical advice.

Take your time, there's no rush.

There is a way to get Chen to issue the Oripathy request: spread the news that Chen has Oripathy to everyone. If the Guard Bureau can't withstand the pressure and conducts an investigation... then Chen will have no choice but to come to Chen Luo, right?

"No problem." Although Chen didn't know why Chen Luo was so obsessed with his Oripathy, it didn't stop Chen from agreeing first.

Although Chen Luo is a bit unpredictable, he does have an official background in Yan State, so he should be able to keep his tracks, right?

[Ha, you don't understand, do you? Temples can't run away, but monks can build temples. Do you understand the value of 32 identities? The entire continent of Terra is filled with this monk's temples!]

"Go away, don't interrupt." The humanized plugin's words made Chen Luo's emotions somewhat disjointed, because Talulah's story was also a tragedy for Chen.

"Before we begin the next paid chapter, I have to tell you something: Talulah is now an infected as well. Alright, the paid chapter is now officially starting, so please listen carefully." While Chen was still shocked by this news, Chen Luo began to slowly recount the story between the Undying Black Serpent and Talulah.

Talulah's story is indeed full of twists and turns. When Chen learned that Talulah had actually started some kind of Reunion movement in Ursus and was planning a rebellion, Chen's expression was quite shocked.

After all, rebelling in Yan Kingdom is no small matter, but thinking about it carefully, Talulah rebelled in Ursus... so it's alright.

Chen had heard a little about Ursus's attitude towards the infected. If Lungmen's attitude towards the infected was to expel them, then Ursus's attitude towards the infected was to strangle them.

"So Talulah shouted, 'Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?' and raised the banner of the Reunion Movement. However, during this time, she encountered some very dangerous events, including the killing of Alina... Talulah was devastated and cried her eyes out. Why were her eyes always filled with tears? Because she loved Alina so deeply... Fortunately, she met me. I gave her an antibiotic injection, and Alina came back to life!"

"It just goes to show that antibiotics are the ultimate solution!"

"..." Listening to Chen Luo's story, Chen looked completely disbelieving.

Are your antibiotics so versatile?

Chapter 1591 A Dragon's Den, a Tiger's Lair, a Ghost Gate – Too Terrifying!

Chen Luo's account of his encounter with Talulah and the subsequent developments became increasingly bizarre, but what was even more bizarre was that Chen actually believed some of the things he said.

For example... Chen Luo really helped Talulah.

Otherwise, given Talulah's personality, if she knew that the video was being used to threaten her, she would definitely refuse to comply even at the cost of her life.

Threats won't work, but if it's about repaying a debt of gratitude, then it's fine, which also matches Talulah's expressionless face in the video.

Both Chen and Tan Lula are this kind of people; they respond better to gentle persuasion than force.

If Chen Luo were to kidnap someone to force Talulah to do something, it might even provoke her rebellious nature... the Koschei incident is proof of that. However, if he were to do Talulah a huge favor, then beg for a favor in return, promising not to do anything excessive, she might actually help him...

Seeing that Chen seemed to be gradually believing him, Chen Luo smiled.

It seems that the lasting effect of persuasion is actually quite effective once the other person lowers their guard.

Besides the mysterious and profound beliefs, encouragement, and support that came with the apocalypse, this special five-star achievement also greatly helped Chen Luo with his persuasive abilities.

The persuasion ability itself is actually a permanent effect; it's just that the effect is stronger after using the persuasion skill to make a judgment.

Chen knew that Chen Luo's words could not be entirely trusted, because Chen Luo made no attempt to hide the fact that he was exaggerating the events. However, based on the sequence of events described by Chen Luo, and with the professional knowledge that Chen, as a senior superintendent, should possess, he was able to roughly piece together what had happened.

After Chen Luo finished speaking, it was Chen's turn to speak.

How's Talulah doing lately?

"Is Talulah tired?"

"Has becoming infected caused any harm to Talulah's body? What is her current life status?"

"As an infected person, was she persecuted in Ursus, and what is the state of the Reunion Movement she leads?"

"Does Talulah need my help with her work?"

These questions flashed through Chen's mind (or above Chen Luo's head from Chen Luo's perspective), but Chen ultimately did not voice them.

Because Chen was a little embarrassed.

As it turns out, even the most serious-looking person may have a lot of inner thoughts. For example, can someone who doesn't know Kosmo imagine him as a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur)?

Kosmo may appear silent, but he's more talkative than all the gossipy women in the world combined.

Chen's words of concern are indeed a true reflection of his feelings, but if he were to actually say them out loud, it wouldn't fit his persona. So he just keeps thinking about them.

"Is she... alright?" In the end, Chen could only ask this weak and feeble question.

"Can't you just call and ask yourself if it's good or not?" Chen Luo tossed a phone to Chen.

"Sigh." Chen hurriedly took the phone, then looked at it with a worried expression. The phone was completely different from the models and styles of phones on Terra.

How do I use this?

"Ring ring!" Just as Chen was at a loss, his phone suddenly rang, and what was even more alarming was the large, round profile picture that appeared in the caller ID.

This person is someone Chen knows all too well—Talulah!

Dressed in a crisp military uniform, standing on the snow-covered plain, he exuded heroic spirit.

"Answer the phone," Chen Luo reminded him.

"..." Urged on by Chen Luo and by the increasingly piercing ringtone in Chen's ears, Chen finally pressed his finger to answer the phone.

People often say that one feels timid when nearing home, but seeing childhood friends after a long time, especially sisters, was even more stimulating for Chen.

Because Chen never imagined he would meet Talulah in this kind of environment... even if it was just a phone call.

It was so abrupt.

"Hello, is this Chen Luo? Wearing... Blueberry said you wanted to see me. Hmm, what's wrong? Is this phone broken? Why isn't it talking? This is my first time using this thing too."

Through that familiar voice and that inexplicable knocking sound, Chen seemed to see Talulah puzzledly knocking on the machine's casing on the distant tundra through this communication device.

This made Chen chuckle.

It felt pretty good to say goodbye this way, even though it was a bit rushed.

"The phone isn't broken. Chen Luo, are you listening? I heard your laughter," Talulah said suspiciously.

"That doesn't make sense. If you're a descendant of the dragon, your hearing shouldn't be this good, right?" Chen Luo leaned closer and said into the phone.

"What does the ability to hear have to do with being a descendant of the dragon?" Talulah seemed puzzled.

"Alright, that's not important. Talulah, get ready, 3, 2, 1..."

"What preparations should we make?" Hearing Chen Luo's countdown, the unsuspecting Talulah suddenly became a little nervous.

Talulah has seen all sorts of grand occasions, but ever since she met Chen Luo, almost every action of his has deeply shocked her.

Whether it's casually reviving Alina, knocking Patriot unconscious with two punches, or curing Oripathy with a single strike...

Not to mention the amazing methods of transforming an abandoned mobile city into a brand new one using just a wooden box, and instantly taking the mobile city away.

Talulah had prepared herself for the possibility of being instantly teleported, so she subconsciously closed her eyes. But when the countdown ended, Talulah looked around and, finding nothing had changed, couldn't help but look at her phone screen.

"Chen?" When a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar image appeared on the unfamiliar screen, Talulah was overwhelmed with surprise and joy.

They were childhood sweethearts, inseparable, yet separated for many years. When they finally reunited, it was in this way...

While it was a pleasant surprise, it also left me feeling somewhat taken aback.

"Long time no see, Little Tower..."

"The way you two address each other is quite strange, isn't it?" Just as Chen and Talulah were looking at each other across the screen, Chen Luo suddenly chimed in.

The feelings that the two had worked so hard to cultivate were instantly shattered by Chen Luo.

“We were both young when we parted ways…” After a moment of silence between Chen and Talulah, Talulah explained the matter.

"Little Tower..."

"Don't call me Little Talulah." Talulah glanced at Chen Luo through the screen.

At this moment, Chen also realized what was happening and tried to push Chen Luo's head away. Because Chen Luo had moved his face in front of the camera, Chen Luo and Chen were now quite close.

"Okay, Little Tower, I understand, Little Tower." Chen Luo nodded, and then was pushed away by Chen.

"Chen Luo!"

"Don't look at me like that. I at least provided you with a platform to meet. You should thank me," Chen Luo said matter-of-factly.

"So what kind of tricks are you using?"

"Video call? Isn't that obvious?"

“But according to you, isn’t Talulah in the Ursus tundra right now? That’s thousands of miles away.”

"Don't be silly, Inspector Chan. Do you think you're still in Lungmen?"

"What do you mean?"

“It doesn’t mean anything. I just wanted to say that because of the bad consequences you brought upon yourself, your meeting with Talulah will be temporarily interrupted,” Chen Luo said.

"What do you want to do?" Chen subconsciously moved the phone away from Chen Luo.

"Chen, I can't see the screen anymore..." Talulah's voice came through the phone.

"I won't take your phone, because it's mine... But this really isn't my fault. It's your fault. Did you leave the bar door open just now?"

"You got stuck with a bank card, what happened?"

"What else? Have you forgotten your new love now that you've found an old flame? You knew to block the bar door earlier, but now you've forgotten about your friends who are still looking for you, haven't you?"

"!!!" Reminded by Chen Luo, Chen remembered that before he cut off the earpiece, he had indeed secretly revealed that he seemed to be in trouble. However, the shock of seeing Talulah again made Chen forget about it.

If this logic holds true, it probably won't be long before someone kicks open the bar door while shouting...

"Lungmen Guard Bureau! Open the door!"

The bar door was kicked open again, and this time it was thanks to the same person who kicked it open last time.

As a large group of Lungmen Royal Guards, armed with riot shields and led by Hoshiguma, stormed into the bar, Swire's voice could be heard outside.

"Those inside, you are surrounded by the Lungmen Royal Guard. Don't do anything rash..."

Swire's voice came through the loudspeaker into the bar.

This made the already somewhat ferocious little tiger's voice even more ferocious, so noisy that Chen Luo directly used the power of the Herrscher of Corruption to hack the speaker through the network cable!

"Hey, why did the loudspeaker suddenly break down? Oh well, never mind, follow me!" Swire's voice, slightly softer, rang out.

Looking at the majority of people who had stormed into the bar, Chen Luo and Chen Er exchanged a glance.

Once everyone was in position, the tall female demon holding a prajna pendant at the forefront discovered that the scene before her was not quite what she had imagined.

"Chen, are you alright?" Hoshiguma asked, looking at Chen who was sitting in a chair and seemed to be talking to someone through a communicator.
