Online Game: Super Beast Tamer

Chapter 97 Angel
While eating, Su Ming heard Su Qiaoqiao's affectionate mumblings and missed her very much, but Su Ming also knew that due to various reasons, he would not be able to see his sister for a short time.

I can only hope that my sister won’t work too hard.

In order to see Su Ming faster, Su Qiaoqiao seems to have taken on another part-time job...

After going online, Su Ming rubbed his face and contacted Venus.

In addition to telling Venus that he had been promoted to an intermediate pharmacist and could attract more outstanding NPCs to work for him, he also sent the properties of the Dark Breath Potion to Venus.

Su Ming wants to earn more gold coins to give Su Qiaoqiao a big surprise. As long as Su Qiaoqiao meets him in the game, she won't have to work anymore.

Su Ming thought, by then, his sister could do whatever she wanted and earn money by herself.

"Sister Venus, do you think this potion is valuable?" Su Ming followed a message under the potion's properties.

As a professional businessman, Venus is more likely than Su Ming to think of similar products in the market and thus judge the value of the item.

Venus looked at the properties and replied to Su Ming:
"Increasing the night vision distance can replace some items such as torches and searchlights. These items are very consumable, but they are very cheap. The cost of the Dark Breath Potion is there, I don't know if it can compete.

You authorize me first, I will ask NPC to make a batch and see if it can be sold. If it can be sold, you can spend some time to raise the level to LV3.

I've been arguing with NPC officials recently (a secondary job task), and I'm planning to open a pharmacy so that I can hire more NPCs. Then we'll have more kinds of potions in our store."

Venus seemed to have decided to specialize in selling potions. Relying on magic potions, her shop had become the most well-known shop opened by players.

Besides, the store is open, we can’t just close it after selling all the magic potions.

While magic potions are still popular, Venus is also selling some more affordable potions, hoping that the store can continue to make a profit when players reach higher levels and no longer need magic potions.

Su Ming had absolute trust in Venus. After operating the system interface and authorizing the formula of the Dark Breath Potion to Venus, he replied:
"Then I'll leave it all to my sister."

----

After Su Ming left the Pharmacist Guild, he did not go directly to kill monsters. Instead, he went to the exchange, intending to find a sword with high attack power to equip Zuoemon.

This is a small matter, so there is no need to trouble Venus.

At the entrance of the exchange, there are players setting up stalls, and you can tell what they are selling from the names of the stalls.

Su Ming opened the stalls selling professional equipment such as Berserker and Swordsmanship Apprentice, and started looking at the entrance of the exchange.

You don't have to pick the best one, as the only attribute that Zaemon can use is attack power.

Su Ming saw a level 70 bronze sword with an attack power of 100~15. Its attack power was almost higher than that of a silver weapon of the same level. However, since its strength attribute was only slightly increased, the actual increased attack power was not as good as that of a silver weapon, or even as good as that of a bronze weapon of the same level.

The stall owner only marked the price at 15 gold, and he knew very well that this weapon was actually useless.

Su Ming memorized the location of the stall and went into the exchange to take a look. If he didn't buy the gold-level equipment for level 15, his attack power would almost be limited to 100. Finally, Su Ming went back to the previous stall, bought the bronze sword, and equipped it to Zuoemon.

After the long sword was given to Zaemon, it disappeared immediately, as if it was put into the player's backpack. When activating the skill, Zaemon would directly hold the hilt of the sword and attack.

After buying the sword, Su Ming came to the gate of Poole Welfare Home again. He and Pyle had agreed to meet here.

At the door, Aunt Carlisle, who was sweeping the floor, saw Su Ming, glared at him, and asked:

"Come to see Pyle?"

Su Ming nodded.

"go in."

Su Ming found that Aunt Carlisle was only fierce on the surface, but was actually a very nice person, so he boldly continued to ask:
"How's Angie?"

Aunt Carlisle stopped sweeping the floor, shook her head, and said:

"It will be fine in a few days. If you want to see her, go and see her."

After saying that, she started sweeping the street again.

Su Ming noticed that Aunt Carlisle was very sad, so he stopped asking questions and entered the welfare home.

There were still many children playing happily in the welfare home, but this time, they were all playing around Pyle.

When Paier saw Su Ming, he said a few words to the children, and the children dispersed automatically.

Pyle, who had heavy bags under his eyes, came to Su Ming. He stayed up late to paint yesterday and asked:
"Did you bring them all?"

"Yes." Su Ming handed the Baiying ore to Pyle. The mission was completed, but the experience points were still low as usual.

"Thank you for your generosity." Pyle shed tears. He raised his head to let the tears flow back and said, "I have to hurry up. I'll take my leave now."

Pair left in a hurry. Su Ming could understand Pair's tears. Anjie must have a closer relationship with the people in the welfare home. If she leaves, everyone will be sad.

Su Ming grabbed a child, asked where Anjie was, and walked over.

"Meow~" Under the eaves, a cat was lying in a cat bed made for it by the children using cardboard boxes. When it saw Su Ming passing by, it called out. It still remembered Su Ming.

Su Ming went over and stroked the cat's forehead, then continued walking towards the room.

At the door, Su Ming turned the handle and opened the door.

The room was simply furnished. It was actually Aunt Carlisle's room. Next to the big bed, there was a double-decker dormitory bed. It should have been someone who had just moved in, so it was convenient for taking care of Angel.

Angel was lying on the bed in the dormitory. There were some black spots on her bloodless face. When I walked closer to take a look, I found that they were some crystal-like objects. There was coagulated light red blood at the junction of the crystal and the flesh.

On the windowsill, there is a pot of white chrysanthemums and a music box.

The music box played soft music.

"Aunt Carlisle?" Anjie, who was looking out the window, heard footsteps and turned around. Seeing that it was Su Ming, she smiled and said, "It's you, big brother. Aunt Carlisle didn't give you any trouble, did she?"

"No." Su Ming squatted beside the bed, looking at Anjie who had changed so much, feeling a little distressed. He asked softly, "Can I help you?"

"I can't help you..." Anjie smiled reluctantly: "I know my situation..."

"Do you need money for treatment? I can provide some." Su Ming knew that the purchasing power of gold coins was very strong among NPCs. After all, he was a hundred thousandaire. Maybe he could save her. Su Ming didn't know what was the point of saving an NPC, but when he saw Angel, it was like seeing himself on the hospital bed.

Anjie shook her head and said:
"It's not about money."

She turned her gaze to the window again. On the outer wall, there was a piece of white cloth covering it. Some red paint was visible in the uncovered areas. Anjie said to herself:
"It would be nice if the Paradise Flower was really useful, but Anjie knows everything and understands everything."

Anjie was silent for a while, then she turned her head to Su Ming and suddenly started sobbing. She choked and said:

"Big brother, please don't look at me with such a sad look, okay? Let's do it like we did a few days ago, you took me to 'steal' things, carried me over the wall to see the kittens, that would make Anjie very happy.

My illness is painful enough, so my biggest wish is not to bring this pain to everyone who loves me. However, Angie seems not to have done well enough. Aunt Carlisle, Uncle Pyle, and everyone in the welfare home always look sad when they see me.

Now, big brother, you are also...really...making me unhappy one by one...when I am sad, everyone else will be even sadder, wuwu..."

Su Ming was at a loss. He could understand Anjie's current mood, just like himself when he first became a vegetable. When he heard his sister's tired voice and could do nothing, he felt that his pain was actually borne by his sister.

When he first realized this, Su Ming always thought that it would be better if he could die earlier so that his sister would be relieved. However, after hearing his sister's constant encouragement, Su Ming realized that his thoughts were very irresponsible.

When Su Qiaoqiao took on part of his pain, part of his life also belonged to Su Qiaoqiao. Su Qiaoqiao did not give up, so what right did he have to decide to give up?

In this regard, Anjie did better than Su Ming. She actually never thought of giving up. It was only in the last bit of her life that she revealed her inner distress to a relatively stranger and complained a little.

"Angie, you did a great job." Su Ming said with emotion: "You have to believe that we feel not only your pain, but also your love for us."

"Is that so?" An Jie sniffed twice, stopped crying, smiled again, and said to Su Ming: "Big brother, can you help me wipe my tears?"

"Yes, of course." Su Ming took out a tissue from the bedside, carefully walked around the black crystal, and wiped away Anjie's tears. "Does it hurt?"

Anjie nodded.

"Is there really no way to help you?" Su Ming asked again. He was thinking that maybe a task could be triggered. As long as there was a task, everything was possible.

"No." Anjie looked into Su Ming's eyes and said, "Crystal disease is very powerful. It is said that the invasion of the demon king from another world broke the balance of magic power, so people got crystal disease. If the story is true, then please, brother, go and defeat the demon king."

"If there really is one, I, your brother, will beat up the devil for you." Su Ming clenched his fist and waved it in front of Anjie.

"Well! Beat it hard!" Angel smiled brightly, but her smile was so big that it pulled the crystal and caused it to bleed.

At this time, Carlisle just walked in with a washbasin. Seeing Angel bleeding, he became furious and drove Su Ming away.

When Anjie saw Su Ming being beaten out of the room with a towel, she smiled and mouthed "goodbye" to Su Ming.

Carlisle drove Su Ming away, slammed the door shut, and muttered:
"I shouldn't have let this guy in. He was so reckless. What did he say to you?"

"He said he would help me beat up the demon king who caused my crystal disease."

"Haha, a guy who can't even beat me is just boasting." Carlisle wet the towel with warm water and carefully cleaned Anjie's face: "That guy has been here for so long, and this is all he said?"

"Well... he also said that love is mutual." Angel squinted her eyes and felt a little sleepy. She said to herself, at least... I should finish looking at the gift Uncle Pyle gave me before going to bed.
