Chapter 203 Expensive Pills
"Has anything happened in the city lately?"
"No, no, everything is basically fine."
"As per Your Majesty's instructions, I have successively opened some alchemy halls in the city and sent people to the surrounding villages and towns to promote them."
“In recent days, some merchants have noticed us, and through their exchanges and trade, we have gradually become wealthy.”
"They also opened..."
Lin Tian strolled down the street, listening to Loren's report while watching the crowds of people coming and going.
At this time, Kurta was much better off than before. Although it was not a prosperous place, thanks to the pills refined by the Pill Palace, Kurta had successfully developed its own specialties.
Specialty products naturally attract merchants, which in turn drive trade, and trade in turn promotes the development of the city.
Overall, Kurta is getting richer and richer.
After the ratmen took over the city, the massacre that the civilians had imagined did not happen; instead, people became richer and richer.
The new rulers would not exploit them, the new soldiers would not oppress them, and with their pockets getting fuller, the common people wore expressions of disbelief.
They couldn't believe that better days were coming after that terrifying battle.
Smiles gradually appeared on people's faces. Now they could walk on the street without fear, and even get along peacefully with those terrifying rat-men... I think they could.
For example, at that small stall in front of us, a tiny mouse is standing on the table, hooking its arm around the owner's back, and whispering something to him.
"From here, walk forward 50 steps, then climb that tree, jump from the tree to the rooftop at a 90-degree angle to your left, then keep going forward, jump into that alley, then come out from the right, spin around three times with your head covered, then look to your left rear, you'll find a small hole, crawl inside, and then dig down five meters..."
"and then?"
"Then you will be able to obtain the treasure left behind by the legendary Sand King Roger."
"real or fake?"
"How can I lie to you?"
Looking at the earnest-looking mouse, the vendor felt a growing sense of trust.
"I gonna go see."
After a moment of internal struggle, the vendor decided to go and take a look. After all, he had already sold almost everything for the day. Besides, the ratman's description was so vivid, about conquering the Grand Line, starting the Great Sand Pirate Era, and being the owner of the title of Sand Pirate King.
In short, it sounds so real; I doubt anyone could have made up such a story.
I'll just give it a try; I won't lose anything.
So the vendor, filled with nervous anticipation and excitement, began to walk forward 50 steps. During this time, he looked back at the mouse and saw that the mouse had given him a thumbs up, which gave him even more confidence.
"Is what you said true?"
Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind him asking a question.
"Of course... it's fake."
"I just made a bet with someone that no one would crawl through the dog hole I dug within three days."
"........."
"Eh?"
"Why does that voice sound so much like the King's?"
Looking at the stiff-faced mouse, Lin Tian patted its head.
...............
Upon entering the Dan Hall, Putuo and Puke picked up a medicine bottle and began to examine it with narrowed eyes.
"Is it this one?"
"I think so..."
"What would you two like to order? I'm the waiter here, feel free to ask me any questions."
"Waiter? What's that?"
"It means staff."
That's a really strange way of calling it.
"Oh, okay, let me ask you something. My elderly relative is sick and has been bedridden. What kind of medicine should I buy to treat their illness?"
"For treating illnesses, if it's poisoning, you can buy this 'Du Zhang San' (a traditional Chinese medicine for treating miasma), it's guaranteed to cure the illness."
Can it cure all diseases?
"If it's a normal illness, then it can be cured. If it can't be cured, come back to me, and I'll treat it for you!"
The waiter's performance was so impressive that the two masters and servants were completely dumbfounded.
Puto couldn't help but shake the medicine bottle that the waiter handed him.
Is this medicine really that miraculous?
He didn't really believe in the medicine made by the demi-humans, because the demi-humans gave him the impression of being barbaric and backward, and he didn't believe they could make such healing medicine.
Seemingly sensing the distrust in Puck's eyes, the waiter's eyes flashed, and he quickly said:
"You can rest assured about the effectiveness of the medicine. It will cure any disease. You can ask anyone in this area who has used our medicine. Not one of them has failed to be cured."
Puto was skeptical of Xiao Er's words, but his father was seriously ill and no doctor or medicine could cure him. Now that there was finally a method, he had to give it a try.
"Okay, how much?"
"It's not expensive at all, only 10,000 shells."
When he heard the price, Puk was stunned at first, and then turned into extreme anger. This small bottle of medicine actually cost ten thousand sabies.
Isn't this robbery?!
"Are you sure this bottle of medicine costs 10,000 sabates?"
"Are you taking me for an idiot?!"
"No, no, you said you wanted a bottle, so I quoted you the price for a bottle. If you only buy one pill, then it will definitely be cheaper."
"How much is one of those?"
"Only a mere thousand shells"
"No wonder, that's what I was thinking..."
"What the hell did you say?"
"Who sells medicine for a thousand dollars a single pill? Are you kidding me?!"
"I do not......"
"You are... damn it! I can't take it anymore, I'm going to teach you a lesson, you swindler!"
As he was talking, Puto suddenly rolled up his sleeves and pounced on the waiter, whom he considered extremely treacherous.
"Brother! Brother! Brother! Young Master! Young Master!"
"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive!"
Upon seeing this, Puk panicked and rushed over to break up the fight, but as a superhuman, Puto was naturally beyond his ability to stop.
The scene descended into chaos. Enraged, Puto furiously pounded on the waiter. Although he held back out of consideration for the waiter's mortal body, the flurry of punches was still enough to make him suffer.
Not far from this chaos, three red-robed rat guards were strolling down the street, their eagle eyes constantly scanning their surroundings. Anyone whose gaze met theirs would quickly retreat.
These are the Rat Guards, the highest law enforcers in Kurta City. They control both humans and rats, and anyone showing signs of crime is immediately arrested.
In their words, it's like...
Throw him into the imperial prison!
The three were patrolling the streets as usual, but just then, one of the rat guards suddenly stopped.
"what happened?"
“Shhh!!!”
"Could it be?"
"That's right!"
Are you sure?!
"There can't be any mistake..."
"I smell..."
"The smell of crime..."
