If the competition organizers find out that Ma Xiaotiao has athlete's foot, they might disqualify her from the competition.
"Okay, I think I know where the problem lies."
Chen Yuze turned around, went back into the house, fetched a basin of hot water, and poured in some white vinegar. Then he had Ma Xiaotiao soak his feet in it.
After thoroughly washing his hands with homemade soap, he sat on a small stool and began massaging Ma Xiaotiao's feet.
Chen Yuze's principle in treating demons is to treat all without discrimination.
It's just a bit of athlete's foot; it's not enough for him to abandon his patients. That would be overly dramatic.
What's more, just half a month ago, an old black bear came to Chen Yuze to get rid of his body odor, and he cured him by pinching his nose.
At least in Chen Yuze's view, it is unethical for doctors to discriminate against patients based on their symptoms or to categorize patients into different classes.
He would never do such a despicable thing.
Moreover, despite being a professional horse racing girl, Xiao Tiao's feet are actually quite soft and comfortable to the touch.
So, after about fifteen minutes, the dark red patterns on the soles of Ma Xiaotiao's feet had faded considerably. The slightly pungent odor had also disappeared.
However, in order to completely cure Ma Xiaotiao's athlete's foot, Chen Yuze finally gave her the soles and insteps cupping therapy.
Only after the dark red lines on Ma Xiaotiao's feet completely disappeared did Chen Yuze nod and announce that the athlete's foot had been cured.
"Dr. Chen, you are truly a miracle worker!" Looking at her daughter's smooth feet, Aunt Ma immediately gripped Chen Yuze's hands tightly again with excitement: "You are our savior, the one who gave us a second life!!!"
"Alright, Aunt Ma, we're all neighbors, so please don't be so polite."
Without making a sound, Chen Yuze pulled his arms out of Aunt Ma's grasp, turned around and went back into the house to get her some dried and ground radish powder: "Didn't Xiaotiao say that her best friend also caught athlete's foot? When you get back, give her half of this powder, have her mix it with water to form a paste, apply it evenly to the soles and insteps of her feet, let it dry for half an hour, and finally soak it in hot water with white vinegar for the time it takes to burn half an incense stick. Do this once a day for a week, and the athlete's foot will be completely cured."
"Dr. Chen, you've already treated us for free and even let us take medicine home. We really don't know how to repay you."
Looking at the small medicine packet handed to him by Chen Yuze, Xiao Tiao's eyes couldn't help but well up with tears.
"Alright, once you become famous in the horse racing world, just invite me, Old Chen, and my girls to watch a few races. Consider this medicine my investment in your future."
With amusement, Chen Yuze ruffled Ma Xiaotiao's hair, then, amidst the reluctant gazes of Aunt Ma and Ma Xiaotiao,
I saw them off as they left the courtyard.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully healing the monster "Grasshopper," and you have gained 500 Kindness Points.]
[The host currently has 5000 remaining Benevolence Points.]
So, how about a ten-pull?
074. Limited-time event begins!
Something's wrong! Something's really wrong!
Listening to the system's tempting voice urging him to do a ten-pull, Chen Yuze vaguely sensed a whiff of being tricked into spending money.
After all, this was the first time it had actively invited Chen Yuze to draw cards since the system was awakened.
"System, you're not up to any bad ideas, are you?"
[This system has a symbiotic relationship with its host. Harming the host will not benefit the system in any way. The system merely offers appropriate advice at the right time and place. If the host deems this inappropriate, they are free to refuse the system's suggestions. The system does not take any coercive measures.]
"That's true."
Touching his chin, Chen Yuze, adhering to the principle of "the sooner you draw, the sooner you enjoy it," thought for a moment and finally decided to listen to the system and draw all 5000 Benevolence Points.
"System, I want to explode!"
[Ding! The lucky draw has begun!]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained an N-level item—Five Pairs of Indestructible Gray Silk]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained two R-level items - Swift Travel Talismans]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained an R-rank item—One More Time Pill]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained an SR-level item—a box of Baking Soda from the Mountains and Seas]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained an SR-level item—a Mountain and Sea Immortal Well]
"Oh?"
Chen Yuze's eyes lit up immediately.
Compared to the completely blank lottery experience last time, this time I was much luckier.
Look, we've already gotten five SSRs!
Even after removing the five pairs of stockings that Chen Yuze considered to be SSR-rated, he still gained two SR items, which can be considered a very good deal.
"Hey veteran driver, look at this! This girl's got a peach blossom hue!"
"Hey, old driver, look how fair-skinned this girl is!"
Humming a cheerful tune, Chen Yuze lay back in the rocking chair in a great mood and then opened the system space to check the instructions for using the new props.
These two speed-enhancing talismans were not much different from the effects of talismans that Chen Yuze had imagined. Simply slapping them on a person would make them as light as a swallow and as fast as flying.
However, the "one more time" pill was completely different from what Chen Yuze had imagined.
Although it's called "One More Time Pill," its effect isn't to make you instantly energized again after you're done, but rather to replenish all the spiritual/demon power you've consumed in one go.
Simply put, this "One More Time" pill is a super mana-restoring potion with no side effects.
As for the two newly released items from the Mountain and Sea series, those are quite interesting.
The appearance of the Mountain and Sea Baking Soda is somewhat similar to the teas Chen Yuze had drawn before; both are packaged in a sealed small jade box. However, the jade box containing the Mountain and Sea Baking Soda looks significantly more exquisite, especially its surface, which is even engraved with a very detailed landscape painting.
Inside the jade box was a container filled with baking soda. Of course, this otherworldly baking soda was not the same as the baking soda Chen Yuze remembered.
Baking soda from the mountains and seas can not only be used in medicine, but it can also be added to water to directly turn your water into spiritual soda. Although it contains less spiritual energy, it has the effect of purifying the internal organs.
Most importantly, the soda tastes good!
When the time comes, make some honey lemon water, add some baking soda, and chill it slightly, and it'll be just like Sprite!
If Chen Yuze wanted, he could even develop a fantasy version of "happy water," one with zero side effects.
On the other hand, the description of the Mountain and Sea Immortal Well is much simpler and more straightforward.
It is simply a plain and unadorned fairy well that not only replenishes its water automatically every day but also purifies it automatically. Moreover, apart from being rich in spiritual energy, it has no other special functions.
The only difference between it and the landscape water sprayer is that one is for people and the other is for plants, that's all.
Of course, if you're willing to add some baking soda to this mountain and sea fairy well water, you can naturally get a cup of exceptionally invigorating mountain and sea sparkling water.
These two items are so well-matched that they complement each other perfectly. Getting them both is a huge win.
"Whoo~"
After closing the system panel, Chen Yuze immediately went to the only old well in the front yard.
When Chen Yuze first transmigrated, he survived entirely thanks to this old well.
"System, can I build this Mountain and Sea Immortal Well right here?"
The system did not answer Chen Yuze's question.
But what appeared before Chen Yuze was the same floor plan that had been used when selecting the site for the Shanhai Hot Spring.
Chen Yuze tried moving the icon of the Mountain and Sea Immortal Well to the original location of the old well. Fortunately, no red box indicating that it could not be built appeared.
"Then, we've decided on this place."
With a wave of his hand, Chen Yuze didn't think much and directly pressed the "OK" button on the floor plan.
So, after a flash of light, the old well in front of him transformed into a mountain and sea fairy well with so much spiritual energy that it overflowed from the wellhead.
but,
Just as Chen Yuze was about to go to the kitchen to get some honey and lemons, and then use baking soda and water from the mountain and sea well to make a glass of Sprite for the girls, the system's voice suddenly rang in his mind.
[Ding! The host's total number of lottery draws has exceeded fifty. Achievement completed—I can smuggle myself in!]
[Achievement detected - "I Can Smuggle My Way In" has been completed, meeting the event activation requirements.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host! The first system event has begun. The event will last for three months, during which the cost of drawing cards will be reduced by 10%. Simultaneously with the event, a limited-time prize pool—'Bloodline and Glory'—will be added, containing over a hundred items that greatly benefit the bloodline of demonic beasts. Please draw from it promptly; if you miss the prize pool, it will not be available again.]
"You son of a bitch! You stupid system, I'll f*** you, you motherfucker, you son of a bitch!!!"
As soon as the system finished its activity introduction, Chen Yuze couldn't help but start swearing.
It wasn't that he had any complaints about the limited-time event pool, but rather that a few words were clearly written on his system's personal panel.
Total number of draws: 59.
This is infuriating!
If Chen Yuze hadn't been tempted by the system to do a ten-pull, he could have done a single pull first to trigger the event. Then, taking advantage of the 10% reduction in gacha costs, he could have done another ten-pull on the event pool.
He knew that this damn system suddenly giving him a ten-pull was definitely not a good thing!
Unfortunately, no matter how much Chen Yuze cursed, the system ignored him completely.
This ability to feign death when things go wrong is exactly the same as that of the game planners in some of Chen Yuze's previous life.
Just as Chen Yuze was busy giving the system a flying mother, a considerable commotion came from the small shed in the yard.
Just ten days after their enlightenment, Yuanyuan and Huanhuan were finally about to break through their barrier.
This sudden enlightenment not only greatly increased their cultivation levels, allowing them to advance directly from the early to the middle stages of the Transformation Realm, but also enabled them to evolve a third tail.
It should be noted that the bloodline evolution of demonic beasts is extremely difficult under normal circumstances.
Even Yuanyuan and Huanhuan themselves didn't expect that just by eating a few pieces of rice crust and drinking some tea at Lord Baosi's brother-in-law's house, their bloodlines would actually evolve.
After regaining consciousness, Yuanyuan and Huanhuan quickly found Chen Yuze by the well and knelt down in front of him with great solemnity.
"Benefactor above, please accept Yuanyuan/Huanhuan's bow!"
"?"
Chen Yuze was somewhat bewildered when he saw the two girls suddenly kneeling and bowing to him.
Fortunately, his reaction wasn't too slow. After realizing what had happened, he quickly helped Yuanyuan and Huanhuan up.
"No need to thank me, this is all your own good fortune."
Chen Yuze was telling the truth. After all, he hadn't done anything; he had simply served the two girls some rice crackers and poured them a cup of tea.
However, Yuanyuan and Huanhuan clearly did not heed Chen Yuze's words.
