The two Basic Skill Duplication Scrolls were very useful. Ren Xiaosu was a person who thirsted for knowledge to begin with. With just one Skill Duplication Scroll, he could learn someone else's ready-made experience. As such, Ren Xiaosu treated them like treasures.
Although the skills would be learned randomly and he might end up learning something useless, Ren Xiaosu had already tasted the sweetness of learning the Advanced Firearms Proficiency skill.
However, what attracted Ren Xiaosu to the palace was not the two Skill Duplication Scrolls, but the side quest that the palace mentioned at the end!
Since it was a side quest, it should either be a side quest that was not too important or would only be temporary.
But Ren Xiaosu clearly heard the palace say, "Due to your lack of a weapon, a …"
So this quest was related to a weapon, right?
Ren Xiaosu, who spent most of his time in the wilderness, knew the importance of a good weapon. Old Wang had bought a steel saber and wanted to sell it to Ren Xiaosu. However, Ren Xiaosu still did not have enough money to buy it even after saving up for half a year.
In the end, Old Wang sold the saber to the supervisor at the chemical plant. The factory supervisors were usually leaders selected from the refugees in the stronghold. They were considered to be the people who followed the stronghold when they ate meat.
At that time, Ren Xiaosu wondered how great it would be if he could get his hands on a good weapon. At that time, he would not have to lie in the wilderness every day waiting for sparrows. Those things were getting more and more difficult to wait for, and it was even more torturous.
At that time, he could go hunt some other wild animals such as rabbits, voles, bamboo rats, and so on.
Nowadays, even rabbits were considered wild animals.
Rabbits in the wilderness would not actively attack people, but rabbits that were as tall as a person's thigh were especially strong. Ren Xiaosu had once dug a trap, but the rabbit fell into it after digging a pit that was more than two meters deep. However, when Ren Xiaosu got close to it, the rabbit jumped up and kicked Ren Xiaosu in the head. It nearly gave Ren Xiaosu a cerebral hemorrhage.
Ren Xiaosu looked at the kraft paper on the typewriter. "Due to your lack of a weapon, a side quest has been activated: Obtain 100 sincere gratitude and unlock a weapon. You can also use gratitude to exchange for items. "
Ren Xiaosu's expression became strange. Why does this side mission feel so weird …?
Collect gratitude? And it had to be sincere.
It was easy to collect gratitude, but the problem was that it had to be sincere.
And gratitude could be used as currency? The key was what he could buy with it.
He continued to look at the vellum page and was surprised to see that some words were being refreshed from time to time.
"Gratitude received from Li Xiaoyu, + 1"
It seemed that he had not saved an ingrate. Ren Xiaosu sighed. The palace's judgment should not be wrong.
At this time, there was a line of small words on the leather paper: Unlocked weapon: 1/100.
Ren Xiaosu felt that it was a pity. It would be great if he could collect negative emotion points. He could have filled up the entire town's negative emotion points in minutes!
However, he would use whatever the palace gave him. Ren Xiaosu was already looking forward to his future weapon.
The items given by the mysterious palace would definitely not be bad.
Ren Xiaosu suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Yan Liuyuan. "Liuyuan, say thank you to me."
Yan Liuyuan was dumbfounded. "Bro, don't be like that. I'm a little scared."
"Scared my ass." Ren Xiaosu snapped, "Hurry up and say it."
Yan Liuyuan thought for a moment and said, "Thank you for taking care of me all this time."
"Gratitude received from Yan Liuyuan, + 1"
Ren Xiaosu beamed. Was it really that easy?
"Come on, say thank you a few more times," Ren Xiaosu said.
Yan Liuyuan was speechless. "Thank you …"
This time, Ren Xiaosu was disappointed. It looked like he could not repeat the rewards. The focus was still on the word "sincerity." He raised his head and looked at Yan Liuyuan unhappily. "You're not being sincere!"
"No, no, your emotions aren't right. Again.
"It's still not right. You need to build up your emotions first. Come on, that's right, that's right.
"Try it again. It'll work if you're sincere.
"Try it again. Add a little more emotion to your voice this time."
Yan Liuyuan nearly broke down. His mouth was dry as he said, "Bro, is this your power? This power of yours is quite taxing on your throat. "
That night, Ren Xiaosu tried it out on Yan Liuyuan for half the night. In the end, he only managed to get a single "thank you" from Yan Liuyuan.
And this "thank you" turned into two coins. A heart was engraved on each coin, and the reverse side was engraved with the words: "A grateful heart. Thank you for accompanying me throughout my life and giving me the courage to be myself. A grateful heart. Thanks to fate. Even if flowers bloom and wilt, I will still cherish them."
Ren Xiaosu smacked his lips. It was pretty lame.
At that moment, the display cabinets that were originally shrouded in black fog around the palace changed. Just to the left of the typewriter, the black fog on one of the cabinets finally dissipated, revealing the … vending machine inside.
Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment. He wondered what this thing was for. This was the first time he had seen it. Such things didn't exist in the outside world.
However, he understood the words on the vending machine: "Coin Slot."
There were no other options. There was only a slot for coins. There was no need to think about anything else. He just needed to insert the coin.
With a clang, the coin engraved with the heart fell into the machine. The machine rumbled as it started to turn. Then, a small bottle that was not even the size of a palm rolled out.
Ren Xiaosu took it out. There was only one word on the bottle: "Medicine."
"No, can you at least tell me what kind of illness this thing is for?" Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment. After he opened his eyes, with a thought, the medicine bottle appeared in his hand. With another thought, the medicine bottle disappeared again.
When Yan Liuyuan saw this, he was stunned. "Bro, are you performing magic?"
Ren Xiaosu ignored him. Instead, he decisively tore off the cloth that was used to bandage his wound, revealing the infected wound inside.
The blood around the wound had been extravasated for a long time, and tissue fluid had been flowing out continuously. Ren Xiaosu knew that if he did not take the medicine in time, he would inevitably have a fever and the wound would fester.
When Yan Liuyuan saw this scene, he immediately got up and walked out. Ren Xiaosu stopped him. "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to buy medicine for you," Yan Liuyuan said stubbornly.
"No need." Ren Xiaosu picked up the medicine bottle and dug out a little of the ointment with his index finger. He carefully applied it to his wound. The medicine bottle was not big and very shallow. It was probably only enough for three doses.
After applying the ointment, Ren Xiaosu regretted it a little. The medicine bottle only had the word "medicine" written on it. What if it was poison …
However, what he was worried about did not happen. When the ointment was applied to his wound, Ren Xiaosu immediately felt the burning pain in his wound disappear.
He saved the anti-inflammatory medicine that Sister Xiaoyu had given him. Ren Xiaosu made a rough estimate. If this bottle of ointment was used as an anti-inflammatory medicine, he would need to take anti-inflammatory medicine for three days consecutively. However, this ointment would be effective after one dose. An anti-inflammatory pill was worth 200 yuan, so the value of this bottle of ointment … would be 100 million yuan in just a few minutes!
Ren Xiaosu suddenly turned to look at Yan Liuyuan and asked firmly, "Help me think. What can I do to gain someone's gratitude so quickly?!"
