Chapter 513: Creating Two Special Items
Opening the system shop, Su Yang clicked on the [Recipe Item] slot and the introductions of 2 special items appeared before him.
The first special item was the [Zinc Gluconate Tablets Of Unknown Abilities]. Su Yang first took a look at the video of the production of that special item and realized...’This is very simple. It’s a production method that I have not seen in a long time.
‘Simply put, I’ve got to place all kinds of items into a pot and boil them into liquid before submitting it.
‘It’s a very primitive production method that I’ve only come across for my first few special items.’
The items required for the [Zinc Gluconate Tablets Of Unknown Abilities] were also quite simple. +1 item, a bottle of Zinc Gluconate Tablets, 100g of plastic, 10g of sugar, 1g of gold and so on.
‘All the items required seems rather weird. Has the system become short of research items again...’
After looking through the first special item, Su Yang continued to look at the second special item. The second special item was [Dog Skin Plaster Of Unknown Abilities].
‘Both items this time are medicine?’
Su Yang was a little surprised. ‘Could it be that the system has started to change professions to becoming a doctor? Is Sanque about to be forced to retire?’
As for the ingredients required for that item...’These are even more strange. They’re all Chinese herbs. Kudzu Powder, White Perilla, Silybum Marianum, Selaginella Uncinata, Astragalus, Angelica Sinesis and Dried Longans?
‘There seems to be some weird things mixed in there, doesn’t it?
‘The manufacturing method is similar to [Zinc Gluconate Tablets Of Unknown Abilities], mix everything inside and boil it.
‘However... For some reason, it feels much more proper to boil the herbs. Even though there aren’t any changes in the production method of making both special items.’
Su Yang watched the production video of both special items and recorded the required materials. Then, he packed up his things and went out shopping.
After leaving the virtual space, he went downstairs. Tang Xiaomi was still watching TV with Dagger Girl where the two girls chatted as they watched.
‘I wonder how Dagger Girl is actually communicating with Tang Xiaomi when she can’t see anything...’
Furthermore, Su Yang had a feeling that he was being cruel to Dagger Girl since she could only hear the noises and not see what was happening, that’s just horrible.
However, Dagger Girl seemed to enjoy spending time with Tang Xiaomi, so Su Yang did not want to disturb the life of 2 best friends.
After greeting Tang Xiaomi and Dagger Girl, Su Yang left the villa and rode his scooter to buy some items.
There was only 1 pharmacy near Su Yang and it was beside the school. Hence, Su Yang rode his scooter to the pharmacy near the school.
It was almost evening, but there were still many students returning to or... Leaving the entrance of Shanghai University. The days where students were present were always filled with pink memories...
Su Yang got out of his scooter and went to the pharmacy. There were not many customers in the pharmacy, only 2 of them. 1 of them was wearing black shirt and glasses with a book in his hands while the other had big eyes, blinking rapidly as if they could speak.
Su Yang took a look. ‘Hey, isn’t that Xue Ya and Guo Xiaoying?
‘What are they doing at the pharmacy?’
When Su Yang saw the two ladies, they noticed Su Yang’s presence as well.
Then, Xue Ya’s eyes lit up. When her best friend was not paying attention, she smiled politely at Su Yang.
Su Yang did not think that she was seducing him. Instead, he felt that she knew that he was the matchmaker that pulled her and Qu Xuan together.
‘Based on her attitude, her relationship with Qu Xuan should be progressing smoothly.’
Su Yang recalled that recently, he had not seen Qu Xuan indulging in alcohol or taking photos with other girls on his WeChat Moments. Instead, there were more selfies.
‘Now that I think about it, the selfies were most likely meant for Xue Ya’s eyes. After all, he isn’t able to meet Xue Ya, hence it would be sweet for the 2 of them to share their daily lives.
‘Based on these little details, it seems like Qu Xuan is slowly turning over a new leaf. That’s good.’
Guo Xiaoying, on the other hand, had a more interesting reaction. When she saw Su Yang, she merely nodded at him and behaved as though they were strangers.
In fact, after the confrontation between Chu Xia and her previously and her [Affinity] for him dropped, their relationship was indeed defined as [Strangers].
Su Yang did not mind as well. ‘I can add more [Affinity Points] if they get reduced.
‘Especially now that I have [The Pork Shoulder That Can Roast] and [Lady Pan’s Gold Spoon], the 2 weapons that increase [Affinity].
Su Yang sized up Guo Xiaoying and said, “Xiaoying, you look very fashionable today. You seem like a peacock spreading its feathers.”
Guo Xiaoying smiled politely. “Thank you, Su Yang.” She felt that Su Yang was praising her.
Then, she heard Su Yang say, “By the way, did you know that only male peacocks can spread their feathers?”
Guo Xiaoying was confused.
‘Why does it feel like he’s insulting me indirectly...’
[Roast successful. Affinity +1.]
Su Yang clicked his tongue. ‘I actually succeeded?
Actually, I thought that my roast was quite terrible, but I didn’t expect the system would actually give me a positive result.’
Therefore, he continued, “I feel that you’ve become more valuable recently.”
Guo Xiaoying was confused again.
Su Yang replied, “Your face has obviously become rounder. You must have put on quite a bit of weight.”
Guo Xiaoying was confused yet again.
Xue Ya almost burst out laughing when she saw Guo Xiaoying’s look of disbelief. She had never seen her best friend like that.
‘This passerby senior is really such an interesting person. Everytime he sees Xiaoying, he would mock her with some strange words.
‘It’s obvious that he’s trying to stir up trouble by roasting on purpose, but terribly. However, the strange thing is that Xiaoying, who has always been petty and vengeful, doesn’t seem to be angry at all.’
Xue Ya, who knew her best friend’s personality well, sometimes wondered if her best friend had been replaced. Otherwise, she would not have been able to hold herself back from taking revenge on the passerby senior.
However, such incidents continued to happen again and again. In the end, Xue Ya had only 1 guess. ‘Is Xiaoying interested in him?’
Guo Xiaoying was also doubting herself. She was starting to wonder if she had feelings for Su Yang.
‘This is so weird!
‘If anyone else had dared to mock me like that, I would’ve definitely knocked some senses into his head!
‘However, I can’t seem to get angry at all when I’m facing him.
‘He’s obviously mocking me, but other than being speechless, I don’t seem to feel anything else.’
If their doubts were made known to Su Yang, Su Yang would definitely have told them. [The Devil’s Angel’s Halo] is a must-have item for murder and arson! You deserve to have it! Even if you roast someone, you won’t receive any hostility in return.
After roasting Guo Xiaoying for a while, Su Yang had gained quite a number of [Affinity] from her. Then, he directly asked her out for dinner over the weekend.
After Guo Xiaoying thought about it for a long time... She finally refused.
Perhaps it was because she felt that she and Su Yang were not at the stage where they could eat alone.
However, Su Yang did not mind. Even though their relationship had just increased by a few points and they had become [Acquaintance], they were still far from becoming [Friends]. Therefore, it was normal for her to refuse.
‘This is China, it isn’t as open-minded as foreign countries.
‘Moreover, I’ve also thought about it. Guo Xiaoying has a project on her that’s worth billions of yuan. This is going to be a project that will be able to reap a profit with just millions or tens of millions of yuan. In fact, it is probably going to require hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars as capital.
‘Even if I obtain this project now, I won’t be able to operate it at all.
‘Therefore, I might as well take my time to lay out my plans.’
Next, under Xue Ya and Guo Xiaoying’s gaze, Su Yang picked a bunch of Chinese herbs and Chinese medicine. Su Yang also saw what the 2 ladies bought, gelatinous cake.
Even though Su Yang did not know why they had to come to the pharmacy to buy the gelatinous cake, he knew that girls needed it.
‘Should I buy some for Chu Xia too?’ Su Yang pondered...
Of course, even if he wanted to buy it, there was no need for him to buy it at that moment. Hence, Su Yang bade farewell to the both of them and left the pharmacy before he rode his electric scooter back to the villa.
After returning to the villa, Su Yang went straight to his room and entered the virtual space. Then, he brought everything to the front yard to prepare the 2 special items in his hands.
As for which 1 to do first, there was no need for Su Yang to hesitate at all since the system had already fixed it.
When Su Yang was watching the production video earlier, he tried it out and realized that he could only make the special item for that week first. After he was done with that, the special item stored in the temporary slot would only then be released.
Hence, Su Yang carefully rewatched the production video of [Dog Skin Plaster Of Unknown Abilities]. After confirming that there were no problems, he clicked on [Produce].
As Su Yang clicked on [Produce], there was a soft “thud” in the courtyard. A medicine pot the size of a basketball fell onto the ground.
Accompanying the medicine table was a fan and some firewood.
‘This is indeed the makings of brewing some Chinese medicine...’
As he thought about it, Su Yang took out the Chinese medicine that he had bought and placed 20g of White Perilla into it. Then, he placed it into the Silybum Marianum and Selaginella Uncinata.
After putting the 3 herbs in, Su Yang started a fire and brewed the herbs.
That was not the first time that Su Yang brewed Chinese medicine. Compared to the big cities who preferred Western medicine, Su Yang’s poor and backward village believed in Chinese medicine more. Therefore, even though his grandfather was not feeling too well during the early stages of cancer, before he went for a checkup, he went to the neighboring village to get some Chinese medicine to brew as well.
Even though Su Yang was already very busy with his studies back then, as a child from a village, he was able to support half of his family. When he went back during the holidays, he had learned how to brew medicine a few times. Therefore, Su Yang was exceptionally familiar with making special items that time.
After boiling for about half an hour, Su Yang placed the Fragments of the Little Monster Beans into the system panel and the remaining Chinese medicine into it.
When all the herbs were placed inside, the entire solution turned blue. The blue color looked very clear, like he was boiling a pot of the sky.
After brewing for another half an hour, the system prompted him that the special item was completed!
Su Yang was not in a hurry. Instead, he put down the fan slowly and clicked the [Submit] button on the system interface.
3 notifications popped up in front of him.
[Incomplete Materials detected]
[More precious materials detected.]
[Special items will give birth to additional abilities, talent, or more unknown changes. Are you sure you want to submit?]
Su Yang clicked [Confirm].
Instantly, the lid of the medicine pot was opened and the sky-blue liquid inside disappeared into thin air. Following that, the medicine pot, firewood, fan and other items disappeared as well.
When all the items disappeared, a moment later, a strange-smelling... Plaster appeared in the air.
Then, it fell onto the ground with a “thud”.
Su Yang ignored the plaster and opened the system shop again.
Just as he had expected, after he submitted the formula item for this week, the [Zinc Gluconate Tablets Of Unknown Abilities] that was originally stored in the temporary slot in the system shop had been moved to a slot where he could choose to produce it.
Su Yang clicked and started to work on the production of the second special item.
