Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Father Ye knew his own physical condition well, and after taking the medicine, he seemed to have all his ailments cured.

My health is very good now.

[Ding! Detected that the host has successfully treated the third patient with the Disease-Clearing Pill, triggering a hidden reward: one Marrow-Cleansing Pill. Would you like to claim it immediately?]

The familiar system voice came through.

Ye Chen was overjoyed. Good heavens, he had triggered the hidden reward again.

Are all the hidden rewards just the Marrow Cleansing Pill?

Is this thing really that common?

He has already left three unclaimed.

However, Ye Chen had a feeling that there was a limit to this hidden reward, otherwise it wouldn't be called a hidden reward.

Now it's probably time to let him have a taste of success.

Regardless of whether there are any hidden rewards, if the healing pills can be used effectively, they should be used.

Three Cleansing and Marrow-Cleansing Pills, perfect. I'll give one to each of my parents this time, so I'll have one left for myself.

Improving their physical condition can reduce the likelihood of them getting sick.

As Ye Chen was pondering this, his father's voice rang out again: "What are you thinking about, brat? I'm asking you where this medicine came from!"

Ye Chen snapped out of his daze and smiled, "Oh, this is medicine I concocted based on a prescription left by my grandfather!"

Ye Chen had already come up with a reason, so he just made one up off the top of his head.

Mr. Ye was somewhat skeptical: "Does the traditional Chinese medicine formula passed down by the old man really have such medicinal effects?"

"Dad, don't underestimate Grandpa. He's incredibly capable. Some of the prescriptions he passed down are ancient ones. Don't you know that?!" Ye Chen exclaimed dramatically.

Ye's father was embarrassed. Little did he know that he was not cut out for medicine at all.

So he couldn't be bothered to care about anything the old man left behind.

Ye Chen knew that his grandfather had instilled knowledge in him since he was a child, and Ye Chen's words dispelled some of his doubts.

"Mom and Dad, this is another supplement Grandpa left behind to improve your health. Each of you should have one!"

As he spoke, Ye Chen handed the two elders the Cleansing Marrow Pills, watched them take them, and then got out of the car.

"Mom and Dad, taking this will help flush out impurities from your body. Why don't you go and prepare some water so you can take a bath later?"

The three of them got out of the car and were stunned when Ye Chen pushed open the courtyard gate. Big Yellow was lying on the ground looking weak, and there was a small pool of blood at the entrance.

"Big Yellow, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Chen took two steps forward.

Da Huang slightly raised his eyes, his gaze filled with resentment.

If it could talk, it would probably be cursing loudly right now!

You worthless bastard, you have the nerve to ask me what's wrong!

The door slammed so hard it almost broke my nose. And what was that thing left behind? It stinks so bad, how am I supposed to eat it? It's so uncomfortable being in the yard.

Ye Chen glanced at the almost perfectly intact durian and McDonald's chicken in the yard: "Why aren't you eating them?!"

The dog felt even more resentful after hearing Ye Chen's words and immediately closed its eyes.

Although Ye Chen wasn't a veterinarian, he could tell that the dog was in very bad shape.

He was practically skin and bones, almost as thin as his father.

Lying on the ground, his belly was deeply sunken, and the outline of his ribs was clearly visible.

When his owner returns, he should stand up and wag his tail excitedly, but now he doesn't even have the strength to open his eyes.

It is estimated that the internal organs have begun to fail.

When he came back in the morning, the dog seemed so energetic. Could it be a last burst of energy before death?

The thought of this made Ye Chen feel like his heart was blocked.

"This silly dog ​​can't even go out to find food by itself, and I didn't even lock the gate to my yard!" Mother Ye looked a little anxious and hurriedly went to fill the dog's bowl with some water.

But the dog barely mustered its spirits, licked its lips twice, and then stopped.

This made Ye's mother very anxious: "Silly dog, get up and drink more!"

Father Ye shook his head and sighed, "It's no use. It's already in a delirious state; it probably won't last much longer!"

This dog has been with them for several years; he even brought it over from an old man at the east end of the village!

Ye Chen hesitated, looking at the single Cleansing and Marrow-Consolidating Pill remaining in the system...

If the dog takes the "Marrow Cleansing Pill," it will probably become energetic again.

But he wanted to take the last one in a couple of days!

This silly dog ​​has been eating at his house for several years, and Ye Chen watched it grow up, so it can be considered half a family member.

"Damn it, you got off easy, you stupid dog!" Ye Chen gritted his teeth and cursed as he took out the last Cleansing Marrow Pill.

He stuffed it into the dog's mouth with a pained expression!

To be on the safe side, he also put a medicinal pill into the dog's mouth.

Since we've already taken the Marrow Cleansing Pill, expending another Disease-Clearing Pill won't make a difference.

Time passed second by second, and the dog opened its eyes, raised its head, and began to lick the water.

He seems to be in good spirits, so he should be alright.

He won't be able to breathe his last for at least a while.

At this moment, Ye's parents reacted, oozing a sticky substance, and hurriedly left.

A moment later, the dog licked the plate of water clean, stood up, and shook its head.

Then it excitedly came to Ye Chen's side, wagging its tail and rubbing against him.

A sticky substance started appearing on its body and rubbed directly onto Ye Chen's trouser leg.

"You stupid dog, hurry up and go wash in the stream!" Ye Chen kicked the dog with a look of disgust.

Holy crap, I lost not only the pills but also my pants!

Now, whenever he looks at Big Yellow, he feels like kicking it a couple of times to vent his anger.

"Woof woof!"

The dog jumped around in place a few times, sticking its tongue out and wagging its tail at Ye Chen.

Then he dashed out of the courtyard gate!

[Ding— The system detected that the host successfully treated a small animal using the Cleansing Marrow and Marrow-Cleansing Pill and the Disease-Clearing Pill, triggering a hidden reward of one Cleansing Marrow and Marrow-Cleansing Pill. Would you like to claim it immediately?]

[Ding—The system detected that the host has sacrificed himself for humanity and passed the test of human nature. Two additional transaction attempts will be granted per day!]

Ye Chen was slightly taken aback!

Holy crap, even rescuing a dog would be fine!

Well, well, it would be impolite to refuse!

This time, however, the system notification sound was a bit long, and Ye Chen couldn't hear it very clearly.

What does "sacrificing oneself for a dog" mean? What does "number of transactions" mean?

He hurriedly opened the system panel to check.

Trading System

Currently tradable items: Gold, Healing Pills

Items required for the transaction: None available.

[Unlock new items after completing 200 transactions!]

[Current total number of transactions: 106]

[Trading Cooldown Time: 0:45]

There's a reward waiting to be claimed: one Cleansing and Marrow-Consolidating Pill, plus two extra trading opportunities per day!

Ye Chen blinked. Did this mean he could trade five times a day?

Holy crap, is this for real?!

He will be able to unlock the new item in just over half a month.

Ye Chen smiled like a proud father. It seems that good people are ultimately rewarded!

He couldn't help but hum a little tune, feeling exceptionally happy!

After tidying up a bit, I went into the kitchen and cooked some porridge, and also stir-fried two plates of vegetables.

That's the good thing about the countryside; you can just pick whatever you want to eat from the field.

When he finished his work, the trading system's cooldown time had just reached zero.
