Chapter 23 Chapter 20 Optimistic Outlook

In the living room, I asked Jushi to sit down and brought out some food and drink. Although there are no restaurants in the Scarlet Fortress, everyone will be given a fixed amount of food and water every month. Of course, if you need more, you still have to exchange it with military exploits.And I got the honor of General Long Codman, and I received more food from the quartermaster, and there will be some food rations with high energy and taste. Jushi was not polite when he sat there, he ate and drank until he wiped away all the food I brought up, then he patted his stomach and said, "It's such a pleasure, I'm finally full."

I smiled bitterly and said, "As long as Brother Jushi likes it, that's fine." From the habit of the earth, you should always treat guests generously, but I didn't expect this guy to be able to eat, and he ate my three-day ration in one go.But, forget it, this guy seems to have been hungry for several days, a good person has to go to the end. Jushi was full, and his face had more blood, and he looked much better. Sitting on the wide-backed chair, he let out a long sigh of relief, looked left and right, and sighed enviously: "Lan Hu, Your place is better. The space is large and comfortable, not only has a living room, kitchen, but also a study room, independent bathroom, toilet, and all kinds of living facilities are also complete. Compared with my doghouse-like residence, your place can be called luxury."

I asked, "Where do you live now?" The short fat man Jushi said with a sad face: "The good place has been taken by others. I can only live in a broken house in the west of the city. You have never been there. Although there are three rooms in that broken house, two of them are dilapidated and dilapidated. I can't live in people, I can barely live in the remaining room with only one stone bed, it's really desolate." Now, I also have a general understanding of some rules in the Scarlet Fortress.As for housing, usually as long as there is no one in the house, you can live in it, and you don't need to pay, first come, first served.

In fact, the good houses near the energy light tower have long been occupied by people, followed by the houses near the commercial street, which have also been occupied.The rest are houses in some remote areas.This place is located in the desert, and there is a lack of trees and other building materials, and it is not easy to repair the damaged houses. The furniture in the houses is usually simple beds, stone tables, and stone chairs built with sand and stones. Our group came so late, so naturally we couldn't find any good houses.Fortunately, General Long Codman gave me his house to live in, otherwise I would have to make do in a crappy house like Humpty Dumpty.

Seeing the sigh of the short fat Jushi, I thought for a while and said, "My place is quite big, and there are several vacant houses. Brother Jushi, if you don't mind, you can move in and live with me." Humpty Humpty's eyes seemed to light up in an instant, and he said excitedly: "Really? Thank you, thank you, from now on, you will be my brother..." Judging by his appearance, it was obvious that he wanted to move in immediately.I'm afraid he has long thought of moving to live with me, but he really doesn't have much friendship with me, so he's too embarrassed to bring it up.

I shook my head and smiled wryly, but we are all from the Guardian Alliance, so we are in the same boat, so please help if you can. Anyway, this place is big, and I don’t care if there is one more person. However, the scene of him transforming into a giant suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, and I couldn't help shivering. After this guy transformed into a giant, his relatives would not recognize him. I coughed lightly and said, "Well, Jushi, there is nothing wrong with you staying here with me, just be careful not to transform at will." Humpty Jushi looked at me in surprise, and after a moment of silence, he said awkwardly: "You know that I can transform into an earth giant?"

I nodded. Once this guy transforms into an earth giant, he will have tenth-level strength. I'm not sure I can escape from him. Dumpty Jushi hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my bloodline power has been sealed by the family, and I cannot freely transform into an earth giant." I breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay. Dumpty Jushi said with a mournful face again: "However, this accidental transformation on the Dune Star caused a little problem with the seal. It seems that the seal is a little loose. I don't know if I will suddenly transform into an earth giant."

I just breathed a sigh of relief, but I didn't expect that things would turn around again, so I could only frown and ask, "What's the situation with you now, will you transform at any time?" Dumpty Jushi explained with a smile: "I have never encountered such a situation before. Since the family sealed the power of my blood, I have never transformed again. This time it may be because my life is in danger. Earth broke through the seal and transformed into an earth giant. According to my estimation, as long as it is not in danger of life or under strong stimulation, it should not transform at will."

I sighed: "Okay, you have to pay attention to controlling your emotions in the future, I don't want to die at the hands of your transformed earth giant." Dumpty Jushi nodded vigorously and said, "I promise, I promise, I will definitely restrain my emotions." "Can all of you Aur star humans be able to transform into giants?" With his guarantee, I became interested in his blood power again, and couldn't help asking. Humpty Jushi showed a look of knowing everything, and immediately replied: "No, only those with royal blood have the ability to transform into giants."

I nodded and said, "That should be the case. If everyone could transform into a giant and fight uncontrollably, you Aur star would be finished." Dumpty Jushi faltered for a while before saying, "Actually, it's because I can't control my transformed self, that's why my blood power was sealed." I was surprised and said: "That's right, can the other people reach the lord level after transformation?" Humpty Jushi's expression darkened and he said, "I know that one of my cousin's transformed Thunder Giants can reach level fourteen, and I'm the weakest one."

I was speechless for a while, level 14, that is the peak strength of a one-star guardian, and reaching level 15 is equivalent to a two-star guardian.This is just a cousin of Jushi. I think that among Jushi's royal relatives, his cousin must not be the strongest one.What a powerful force this is, I was deeply shocked by Humpty Dumpty's words. For a while, both of us were silent, and Humpty Humpty's expression was obviously a little inferior.He has the weakest power after transformation, and other people can control themselves, but he cannot control himself, which probably makes him feel that he is a different kind in front of his companions. After a while, I said: "Since your royal family has the blood of giants, you must have done a lot of research on this blood. Don't they have any good ways to help you solve problems that you can't control yourself?" Jushi said: "A palace master said that I can only improve the situation of out-of-control transformation after my main body strength reaches level ten. There is no other good way." I continued: "So, they sealed you and sent you to the Guardian Alliance to try their luck." Jushi nodded, expressing his acquiescence. If the guardian tablet can be successfully refined, the strength will naturally be promoted to ten levels, and everything will be solved easily.Thinking about it, although Auer Star's strength is not as good as that of the Guardian Alliance, it is also a force that should not be underestimated with so many strong people.If it weren't for the special problem of the boulder, the Auer star royal family would never send their prince to the Guardian Alliance. However, judging from their attitude towards Jushi, I am afraid that Jushi is not valued at all in the family. I was talking with the boulder when suddenly the little dryad Balfour screamed from the basement, and then I saw the little dryad Balfour rushing towards me with a bottle of potion in his hand. I looked at it, and suddenly there was hope in my heart, and I blurted out: "Success... success?" Dryad Balfour smiled triumphantly: "The word 'failure' never exists in the dictionary of the most evil dryad." The potion in the hand of the little dryad Balfour was light green, which was much more attractive than the cloudy holy potion. However, there is no way to see this medicinal property.I was hesitating how to verify the properties of the medicine, should I seriously injure myself, and then pour the whole bottle of medicine down? If so, Xiaohu can record the changes in injuries in great detail.However, this is the rhythm of death. Who would seriously injure themselves just to prove the quality of the potion? The little Dryad Balfour rolled his eyes, and shouted at the boulder with a shrill voice, "Fatty, lend me your hand." Jushi looked at me inexplicably, "This is?" "My...servant." The little Dryad Balfour walked up to the boulder, and with lightning speed, he used the "Sword of Black Mountain" to cut a hole more than ten centimeters long on the boulder's arm. Blood instantly gushed out from the boulder's wound like a spring springing from the ground.Jushi was taken aback, and immediately tried to use his skills to shrink the wound. Dryad Balfour screamed, "Hold on!" As he spoke, the little dryad Balfour poured out some of the potion.The viscous potion flowed out continuously like jam. The little dryad Balfour applied the potion on the boulder's wound, and something happened that surprised us: a film grew on the wound on the boulder's arm in just three seconds, preventing blood from flowing out.As the medicine continued to penetrate and absorb, within about two minutes, Jushi's wound healed 70%, leaving only a bright red scar on his arm. The little Dryad Balfour proudly said: "Applied externally and taken internally, the effect is just as good for internal and external injuries." Although the effect of treating internal injuries has not yet been verified, but seeing the miraculous effect of treating external injuries, I am still willing to believe that the little tree spirit is telling the truth.I was in a good mood and asked, "How much is the healing effect of this potion comparable to that of the holy potion?" The little dryad Balfour said confidently: "I am confident that I can make a super holy potion that is much more effective than the holy potion." I said seriously: "Even if you are confident that you can make it, I don't have so many materials for you to waste. You should be more realistic and tell me that the healing effect of this potion can reach a few percent of that of the holy potion." The little Dryad Balfour coughed lightly, twisted a bit, and then whispered: "Thirty percent." "Huh?" I questioned, "The potion produced by wasting nearly a million star coins is only 30% of the effect of the holy potion. Don't you confidently say that it is easy to make a potion with 50% or even higher effect?" Is it?" The little dryad Balfour called Qu and said, "Master, the holy potion has no effect of external application, but I have developed a new function." I said speechlessly: "Who wants the effect of your external application! Others buy the holy potion just to drink it in one gulp to save their lives at critical moments. Who has the time to apply it externally?" The little dryad Balfour lowered his head, twisted his feet, and said in a low voice: "Isn't he not skilled? As long as you give me another three million star coins, I will be able to make a potion with 50% effect of the holy potion. " I said: "Do you think your master is worth three million star coins?" "I think this sword is not bad. If it is sold, it can be sold for at least hundreds of thousands of star coins." The short fat man Jushi who was listening to us suddenly pointed to the "Black Mountain Sword" in the little tree spirit's hand. . The little dryad Balfour bared his teeth at the short fat man, with a fierce light in his eyes, and quickly hid the "Sword of Black Mountain" in his hand behind his back. This guy probably carried the "Sword of Black Mountain" on his back every day, and he recited his feelings. I said: "Brother Jushi, can you see the extraordinaryness of this sword?" Humpty Jushi smiled wryly and said, "How can I see anything extraordinary? But this sword can easily cut a wound on my arm, at least in terms of sharpness, it is extremely rare." I took a look at the boulder's arms, and they were all made of human flesh and blood, not comparable to those beasts with special shapes and scales or carapaces. Even ordinary titanium alloy swords can easily tear apart human bodies. The short fat man Jushi saw my doubts, smiled bitterly and explained to me: "Since I transformed in the sand sea, the seal has been broken, and the power of transformation has also been inexplicably strengthened. These powers are constantly escaping from the seal." It came out and spread among my limbs, which made my body very tough, as if I had been given a 'skin skin' technique. Ordinary swords can't touch my skin at all without using too much force. leaving traces." I looked at his skin seriously again, and I could really feel that there was a layer of khaki power hidden on his body surface, which was constantly transforming his skin, making his skin tougher.Although the giant stone may transform into an earth giant and lose control due to the instability of the seal, but also because of the seal, his defense power has been greatly increased without transforming.Whether it's a blessing or a curse, I really don't know. Dumpty Jushi turned his gaze, looked at the potion in the little tree spirit's hand, and said, "I also know the name of the holy potion, and it takes one hundred and twenty points of military exploits to exchange for a bottle. For newcomers like us, it's really hopeful." And unattainable things, at least in the first year, are absolutely unaffordable. I know that many newcomers like us can only hunt hundreds of kilometers near the Scarlet Fortress when they first came. Earn more than a dozen points of combat merit. Not to mention the fact that you have to hand in ten points of military merit, and you only have a few points in your hands every month. Even if you don’t buy anything, it will take about two years to afford a bottle of holy medicine. This is absolutely It's the highest luxury, but..." Dumpty Jushi changed the subject and said, "Our medicine can occupy the middle and low-end market." The little Dryad Balfour squinted at him and said, "Hey, fat man, that's my potion, not our potion." Jushi was not angry either, and smiled all over his face: "Same, same, as long as you are willing, this is our potion." I asked curiously, "What do you want?" Jushi said: "That's it. I think your drug has a very good market. I want to be the general agent of your drug." "Ok?" "What is a general agent? Can it be eaten?" Balfour, the little dryad, bared his ferocious teeth and asked. Jushi wiped off his cold sweat and said, "Simply put, it's your production, and I'm in charge of selling it for you." I said: "Jushi, don't be too optimistic. The efficacy of this potion is much worse than I imagined. Maybe no one will be willing to pay for it." Jushi said confidently: "As long as you don't ask for merit points to buy this potion, then our potion will definitely have a big market. In our Scarlet Fortress, it is forbidden to trade combat points, so even if you have You may not be able to buy holy potions with tens of millions of star diamonds. Although our potions are not as effective, they can be purchased with star coins. As long as you have star coins, how much do you want for our potions? how many." I understood, and continued, "So, those who can't afford the holy potion will turn around and buy our potion. Although the effect is a bit worse, it's better than nothing." Jushi's expression became more and more excited, and his small eyes squinted, as if he had already seen the piles of star coins in front of him.He continued: "You are right, but not completely right. Our medicine is definitely not better than nothing, on the contrary, our medicine is the real life-saving medicine." "Oh, why?" I couldn't help asking. It is obvious that our potion is not the slightest bit worse than the holy potion, but I don't know why Jushi would say that. Jushi squinted his eyes and said: "Compared with the price of the holy potion, the price of our potion is absolutely cheap. You can drink one at any time when you are injured, or apply it on the wound to speed up recovery. But the price of the holy potion is extremely expensive. Less than In the nick of time, who would be willing to drink such an expensive holy potion when life and death are on the line? But when the moment of life and death comes, by the time you make up your mind to drink a potion worth 120 points of combat merit, you may already be dead Our potion is different, no matter it is a minor injury or a serious injury, you can fill one, the price is low, and life is more important." What the boulder said immediately broadened my horizons, and made me understand the importance of the potion made by the little dryad Balfour. I said in admiration, "As expected of a prince, he has extensive knowledge." Jushi smiled and said: "I still want to thank Brother Lan Hu. Being the general agent of your medicine is equivalent to giving me the foundation to settle down in the Scarlet Fortress. I can practice in the Scarlet Fortress with peace of mind, and I don't need to go out to take risks. " I was surprised and said: "If you don't go out for adventure hunting, how do you pay the fixed monthly ten combat merit points? You must know that you will be expelled from Dune Star if you fail to complete it in more than three months." Jushi proudly said: "In this universe, there is nothing that cannot be exchanged. When our medicines are in short supply, I will offer a price to exchange the medicines with the complete corpses of bugs. I think it will be hard to beat the ten points of military exploits every month." I." I said, "Isn't the Scarlet Fortress prohibiting the trading of combat points?" Dumpty Jushi said cunningly: "I didn't use star coins to buy combat merit points. The Scarlet Fortress stipulates that bugs can be exchanged for combat merit points, and there is no requirement that the bugs must be hunted by myself, so it is not illegal for me to exchange potions for bugs." .As long as I don’t go too far and buy more bugs to use for combat points, the fortress won’t care about me.” I smiled wryly and shook my head. Although this guy is smart, he is quite timid.Having said that, with his powerful transformation ability, even if he went out to hunt bugs, basically his life would not be in danger, at most he would break the seal and transform. However, in my opinion, if you want to become a strong person, you still have to constantly fight against stronger enemies and hone your strength and will.Lack of strong will is probably also an important reason why Jushi can't control himself after transformation. I said: "If you just stay in the city and don't hone your strength in actual combat, your road to the tenth level may be very long." Dumpty Jushi waved his hand and said, "Lanhu, you don't know, those of us who have giant bloodlines with different attributes, even if we sleep every day, our strength will increase slowly. Level ten is our bottom line. And I decided to stay In the fortress, it is to spend more time comprehending the condensing of the phantom of the guardian monument, only refining the guardian monument can shorten the time for me to advance to level ten." I opened my mouth wide in surprise, and said after a while, "It's too...too enviable to have such a bloodline." Dumpty Boulder shrugged triumphantly. The little dryad Balfour pouted suddenly, and said disdainfully: "In my home galaxy, there is a kind of tree people called war tree people, who are born with a power of five levels, and they don't need to practice at all. They just need to sleep. They can accumulate powerful power, and some war tree people who have lived for a long time even have power up to level 18. But these guys may have slept too much, and usually they will behave staid and stupid." The merciless words of the little dryad Balfour made Jushi's face embarrassed, but he didn't argue. It seems that even the blood of the giant has the same situation as the little dryad said. I said: "No matter what, as long as you are alive, your strength will continue to be promoted. This is really enviable. Brother Jushi, it seems that you don't need others to worry at all. The one who should be worried should be me. After that The sale of the medicine is up to you." Jushi patted his chest with a "bang bang" and said, "Don't worry, I will not let you down. Brother Lan Hu, you must keep the formula of the potion in a safe place, and don't let others know it. There are some medicines in Scarlet Fortress. Several companies are doing business in healing, if they know about our formula, then we will have nothing to do with it." I have full confidence in the preservation of the formula, because the most important ingredient in the formula is the source spar. Even if they know all the formulas, it will be futile if they can't get the source spar. However, since Jushi said it, I decided to be more careful in the future. When buying raw materials for potions, I would go to different shops to buy them, and then buy some other raw materials, so that they would not be able to tell which materials are needed in the real formula. . After I made a plan, I spent more time and got a batch of materials, enough for the little dryad Balfour to make two more bottles of potions. Unexpectedly, the little Dryad Balfour, who seemed to waste a lot of materials for the first time, was already familiar with it when he made it again, and there was no loss at all, so he just made three bottles of potions. With an optimistic outlook on the future, we began our life at Dune Star.
