Chapter 172: Chapter 171: Gluttony Comes at a Price
When Shangguan Qi walked out of the hospital room, his face was filled with ecstatic joy.
With an excited heart and trembling hands, especially upon seeing Qian Qi, he almost wanted to go up and give her a kiss.
Where did they find such a genius?! She could actually treat Spiritual Power Disorder! This was a world problem that had exhausted countless predecessors, and she brought this world-shattering miracle to the Sea City Medical Base on such an ordinary and quiet morning!
"Student Qian Qi, genius Qian Qi, do you know you have saved all the commanders of this world!"
Shangguan Qi tightly held Qian Qi’s right hand with both of his, his voice trembling with excitement as he offered her his utmost respect and gratitude, "I apologize for my previous doubts and anger, thank you for bringing the Treatment Potion here! I am so happy! So happy!"
Seeing Shangguan Qi so happy, Qian Qi couldn’t help but ponder for two seconds, "I think... you’re happy too early."
Shangguan Qi: "Ah?"
Poor Shangguan Qi had no clue about what he was about to face.
With the Treatment Potion, Shangguan Qi immediately arranged for surgical doctors to prepare for special spiritual anesthesia for Shangguan Qing. Since intrathecal injection has certain risks, they must ensure that she can lie quietly on the operating table.
Sikong Wang waited nervously outside the operating room, silently praying for the success of the surgery.
Meanwhile, Qian Qi sat on a nearby bench accompanying him. While browsing the news from the past few days, she saw that Wei Bisheng suddenly sent her a Light Brain friend request.
Adding her as a friend at this time, could it be that the price of Frenzy Potion in the small auction group of three had already reached his expectation?
Qian Qi flipped through the chat records of the small group of three and found that the last conversation was two days ago, with the last auction price sent by Tang Yunde, who presented a promise that the Awakened Association could not fulfill:
If the Frenzy Potion could be sold to the Dungeon Association, the Dungeon Association could allocate 100 acres in any conquered C-level dungeon exclusively for Qian Qi’s exploitation.
As the advance army of conquered dungeons, to provide instance information for the Awakeners, the Dungeon Association has the right to some exploitation of the instances. It could be said that only the Dungeon Association could make such a promise aside from the Seven Great Families.
If Wei Bisheng added her because of this, it would be normal.
Hmm~ let’s see how this President Wei plans to persuade me~
Qian Qi accepted the friend request and took the initiative to send a message to Wei Bisheng.
[I am your uncle]: What’s up?
A minute of silence on the other end before a slow response came.
[Wei Bisheng]: Hehe, Little Qian
[Wei Bisheng]: I heard you developed a potion for treating Spiritual Power Disorder?
Qian Qi raised an eyebrow, glanced up at the operating room, and thought to herself, in just two hours, an outsider like Wei Bisheng has already received the news?
So quickly... is it because the medical base has a spy for Wei Bisheng, or is this normal information transmission among the higher-ups?
Rubbing her chin, Qian Qi replied:
[I am your uncle]: What disorder? What potion? Developed by me?
[I am your uncle]: Isn’t this like a blind guy pulling the zipper and crying out in pain for no reason?
[Wei Bisheng]: ?
On the other side of Sea City, at the Awakened Association.
An old man in gray clothes put down the exquisite silver knife and fork in his hand, slightly twitching the corner of his mouth as he looked at the answer on the Light Brain.
Picking up the napkin beside the silver tray, he wiped his mouth. Wei Bisheng’s sharp, eagle-like eyes narrowed slightly, and a meat scar on his slightly aged face added a touch of a formidable and unapproachable aura.
Beside his dining chair, a large black hunting dog sat on the ground enjoying the food in its dog bowl, emitting an invisible hostility just like its owner.
Gently tapping the table with his index finger, Wei Bisheng was also contemplating whether Qian Qi was playing dumb or deliberately hiding something with a purpose.
A pack of Magic Potion capable of frenzifying a D-level Awakener clearly offers less power compared to the treatment potion for Spiritual Power Disorder. After all, S-Class Spiritual Power Awakened are rare and precious, and once they appear, they are sure to be recruited by the Seven Great Families and the Awakened Association.
And if they ever suffer from a disorder, the only life-saving medicine in Wei Bisheng’s hands, it can be imagined, would give him the power to control the life and death of the awakening top chain, thereby dominating the world.
The Three Major Associations have always restrained each other, and the Seven Great Families are even more rotten beyond repair. The Dungeon crisis urgently needs a solution, and reform cannot wait.
If Wei Bisheng wants to be the one who announces the decrees, he must possess a strong and powerful tool that other forces have no choice but to bow down to!
And that thing has now appeared.
Appeared in the hands of a young girl, Wei Bisheng felt this was a chance given to him by heaven.
He must seize this opportunity and obtain the therapeutic method for the disorder!
[Wei Bisheng]: Let’s meet at the Awakened Association, I’ll wait for you.
[I am your uncle]: Let’s meet at Xixi Cafe, 300 meters east of the medical base, you wait for me.
Wei Bisheng: ...
Turning to Han Biao, who was attending beside him, Wei Bisheng pointed at the Light Brain, his tone containing a hint of a mocking smile, "Little Han, look at this, why is this little girl so arrogant?"
Han Biao quickly bent his waist slightly, "Should we...?"
He made a gesture, evidently meaning to take care of Qian Qi.
"Ah, Little Han, don’t be so extreme in your actions." Wei Bisheng laughed heartily twice, picking up the silver knife and fork again, leisurely and with interest, he began cutting the steak on the plate piece by piece into his mouth.
"Her value probably far exceeds this, what we need to do is to draw her into our camp and squeeze her value bit by bit."
When all the juicy parts on this plate are eaten up, then it won’t be too late to throw the leftovers into the slop bucket.
"Go, block the news about the Treatment Potion. Until I get the formula, don’t let it reach the ears of other families and associations." Wei Bisheng raised his hand, signaling Han Biao to do the job.
"Yes."
After Han Biao left, the already full Wei Bisheng looked at the tempting steak on the plate, ready to gobble it all down, when the hunting dog beside him suddenly jumped onto the table, sniffing towards the scrumptious steak.
Smelling the enticing aroma, the hound couldn’t help sticking out its tongue to eat it. Wei Bisheng suddenly narrowed his eagle eyes, raising a hand to smack off the dog’s forelegs, gripping its head firmly, issuing a calm yet stormy-cloud-before-the-storm warning in a deep voice.
"It’s not your meat, don’t eat it."
Coveting another’s meat comes at a price.
The hunting dog let out a low plaintive howl, no longer daring to covet the juicy steak on the plate, and left the dining room with its tail between its legs.
