Chapter 467 Let’s Give It a Try
The pharmacy became lively again.
Today, there are three more guests who want to stay overnight, and they are three women.
This didn't have much impact on Su Xia, but the brothers Hong Bafu and Lan Bafu needed to be more restrained and no longer go out to wash with their shirts bare early in the morning.
After a brief exchange, Su Xia talked about the current situation of the pharmacy.
"There are no more rooms upstairs, so you two can only stay in the basement for now." He said slowly, "If you are not used to it, you can also stay on the second floor of the hotel opposite. Boss Zhao still has extra rooms there."
"Master Su, you're too polite. When we were at the Zero Point Tavern, we lived underground every day and got used to it a long time ago." Shen Yu smiled.
"Well, both of you follow me."
Su Xia put away the Lost Eye pendant, stood up from the workbench, and made a gesture of invitation.
There isn't a lot of stuff on the basement level, but the area is much larger than upstairs.
The two brothers Hong Bafu and Lan Bafu were dealing with the sundries on the basement floor. They were carrying large boxes and going back and forth between the basement floor and the second floor, moving everything from the first floor to the second floor.
After going back and forth more than ten times, both of them were exhausted and out of breath, and their four legs were trembling.
"call……"
Hong Bafu exhaled deeply, his chest heaving, his fat face turned red with fatigue and covered in sweat.
He wiped his face with his hand, sat down in the corner, and said to Lan Bafu: "Lan, we are all psychic creatures. Logically, our physical strength should be better than that of ordinary people. Why can't we move some things?"
"Brother Hong, are we really too fat?" Lan Bafu also sat down, his face covered with sweat, almost exhausted.
"Nonsense! We call this wealthy!"
"Brother Hong, are you too rich?"
“…”
The two of them touched their big bellies and fell into deep thought one after another .
Not far away, in the corner of the basement, a woman named Wu Hongyu was standing in front of a painting hanging on the wall, with a look of nostalgia on her face, and she paid no attention to the two brothers who were busying about.
In fact, Su Xia asked the two brothers to move things because he wanted them to show their faces in front of Wu Hongyu and get the opportunity to be instructed as soon as possible.
Now, part of the entire basement is empty.
When Su Xia took Yi Mo and Shen Yu into the basement, they happened to see Hong Bafu and Lan Bafu lying in the corner.
"Are you tired?" he asked them with a smile.
"Brother Su, did the teacher secretly teach you any weight-loss potion?" Hong Bafu asked breathlessly, holding his big fat belly, looking tired.
"No, please be more practical, brothers."
Su Xia smiled and said, "If there really is such a medicine, why would we sell other medicines? We can just open a beauty salon, and men and women from all over the world who want a good figure will come to us. We will definitely make much more money than we do now."
"Brother Su, aren't there a lot of advertisements for weight loss pills on TV?" Lan Bafu asked.
"That's all just IQ tax. The real thing is to control your diet and exercise more." Su Xia said.
"Brother Su, you don't do much exercise, so how come you are in such a good figure?" Hong Bafu couldn't help but mutter.
After hearing what he said, Yi Mo also asked with a smile: "Yes, Master Su, you don't exercise much, how come you have such a good figure? Do you have any tricks? Master Su, you don't exercise secretly every night, do you?"
“I just don’t eat much.”
Su Xia smiled and made up a reason.
At this time, Hong Bafu and Lan Bafu noticed the two people behind Su Xia, and immediately lifted the clothes on their stomachs to cover their round bellies.
"Brother Su, are these the two guests you mentioned before?" Hong Bafu asked.
"Yes, it's them."
Su Xia walked down the wooden stairs and introduced both parties.
"This is Miss Yi Mo, and this is Miss Shen Yu. They are from the Zero Point Tavern and will be staying with us for a long time."
As he spoke, he turned around again, pointed at the two Bafus, and then said to Yi Mo and Shen Yu: "These two are my senior brothers. The fatter one is called Hong Bafu, and the slightly fatter one is called Lan Bafu."
"Hello, Masters." Yi Mo smiled sweetly. "I have heard of your names for a long time. It is better to meet them in person than to hear about them. You two are indeed outstanding people, rare geniuses in Coral City."
"Hehe, no, the title of master is too heavy. We are not worthy of it yet." Hong Bafu smiled embarrassedly.
"Yes, Brother Su is the master. The two of us are a little bit inferior." Lan Bafu also put on a humble look.
"Masters, you two are too modest. At your age, many pharmacists are still apprentices, but you are already fourth-level pharmacists." Shen Yu has a fair face, a dimpled smile, and a very sweet voice.
"It's all because of the teacher's good teaching. It has nothing to do ." Lan Bafu said with a smile.
"Yes!"
Hong Bafu also nodded repeatedly, indicating that he was right.
Their achievements are indeed inseparable from their father.
No matter how talented a person is, if he doesn't meet a mentor, he will just be like everyone else.
To be honest, among the three brothers, only Su Xia received less guidance from his father. Most of his potion skills were instilled in him by those two experience books.
Su Xia stood at the stairs, looked around, and took in the entire basement.
The basement level is not habitable yet as many facilities are incomplete, many old objects are covered with dust, and even the lighting is very dim.
Su Xia called the cleaning company and also called Su Jianshe's team, asking them to work overtime in the evening.
"As long as we clean it up, add composite panels as partitions, and affix fire-proof and sound-absorbing materials, we can quickly create a few single rooms. You two will need to wait a moment." He turned and said to the two of them.
"Thank you for your hard work, Master Su." Shen Yu smiled sweetly.
"It's just a small matter."
Su Xia waved her hand, looking calm.
Then, he introduced Wu Hongyu to the two of them: "That auntie is the sixth-level pharmacist of your Zero Point Tavern headquarters. She will also live here for the next period of time."
"Sixth-level pharmacist?" Shen Yu was surprised and covered his mouth.
"What's that aunt's temper like?" Yi Mo asked in a low voice.
"He's quite cold, but not too difficult to get along with." Su Xia said truthfully.
While the three of them were talking, Wu Hongyu, who was not far away, did not say anything.
She was still just looking at a painting hanging on the wall, with a look of reminiscence on her face, as if she was lost in some memory.
Su Xia glanced at the painting, then shook her head slightly, not noticing anything unusual.
[An ordinary painting]
Even the system prompts are pitifully stingy, without much introduction.
That painting is also part of my father's collection, but it is not very conspicuous among his many collections.
It is not a work of a master, but a modern painting, and the quality is not very high. It feels like any street painter could have drawn it.
"Two brothers, do you still have strength?" Su Xia retracted his gaze and said to the two Bafu.
"Brother, let us catch our breath first." Hong Bafu's breathing was still very unstable, sweat was still coming out of his face, and he said while touching his big belly.
"Brother Su, Brother Hong and I just moved a lot of heavy things, especially the corpse. It was too heavy and almost broke our waists. Now our waists are sore." Lan Bafu also spoke. His condition was slightly better than Hong Bafu, but he also looked like he was about to collapse from exhaustion.
"A body?"
Hearing this, Yi Mo and Shen Yu were both a little curious.
They were not afraid. After all, they had killed quite a few people with their own hands, and each of them had killed at least double-digit people.
Their cute and sweet looks and good figures are just disguises.
"It's not fresh, it's just a dried corpse." Su Xia explained.
"What kind of mummy is worthy of Master Su collecting in the basement of the shop?" Yi Mo blinked his big eyes.
"It's not mine. It's from the teacher's collection. It's the body of a Zerg. It's not an ordinary Zerg. It should be a Zerg whose evolutionary path has gone astray."
To be honest, it's not a Zerg mummy, but half one.
The half-mummy was indeed very large and was locked in a separate box with a note saying "Suspected Alien Corpse" stuck on the surface of the box.
To ordinary people, this kind of mummy is a very strange thing.
But my dad’s collection is so weird and varied that it seems normal after seeing it so many times.
The last time the mechanical clan searched the pharmacy, Su Xia had seen the mummy. The prompt given by the system at that time was very subtle - the system indicated that he should let his ugly clone devour the mummy.
If it is really the corpse of alien Zerg, after devouring it, maybe I can get some information about the star Zerg.
Su Xia knew that the current Zerg Queen had gained a lot of benefits from the corpse of a Star Zerg.
"Master Dad is worthy of his name. He has collected so many amazing things." Shen Yu looked at the other things in the basement curiously. Many of the collections were as special as the Zerg mummies.
"Master Su, what's in there?" Yi Mo pointed to a large glass jar in the corner. In the jar was a columnar biological organ that was more than two meters long and had turned white due to soaking.
"that……"
Su Xia glanced at the contents of the glass jar and said, "It is a special organ of male whales, Miss Yi Mo, do you need me to explain it in detail?"
"So big?" Yi Mo raised his lips and looked at another glass jar. "Master Su, what's in there? Aliens?"
"No, it's just a deformed fetus. My dad bought it from a museum." Su Xia took a look and saw a fetus with only one eye in the jar, which had also turned white due to being soaked in the water.
Many of the things in my dad’s collection are a bit scary.
If you are not prepared in advance, you may be shocked when you suddenly see what is soaked in those bottles and jars.
But Yi Mo and Shen Yu were very brave and did not feel any fear at all. They were just curious.
The two looked around with curious expressions, as if they wanted to ask something.
But at this moment, a sound came from the ground.
"Is Master Su here?"
It was Su Jianshe's voice, he arrived with his temporary construction team.
Outside the store, there were several large trucks parked, and the trucks were filled with beds, wardrobes, dressing tables, composite partitions and other materials needed to build temporary rooms.
"I am here!"
Su Xia followed the sound upstairs and immediately met Su Jianshe and others with a smile on her face.
"Minister Su, thank you for your hard work. I'm really sorry to call you here so late." He said with a smile.
"Haha, it's a small matter. Master Su, just don't treat my workers unfairly." Su Jianshe also responded with a smile.
"Don't worry, you'll get five times the wages tonight!" Su Xia was generous and activated the enthusiasm of many workers as soon as he opened his mouth.
As he spoke, Su Xia opened the door of the shop completely so that everyone could enter easily.
The workers brought by Su Jianshe were the ones who had carried out reinforcement work on the pharmacy some time ago. They were already familiar with the structure of the store, so they didn't need Su Xia to say much . They entered the basement one by one with ease.
The workers are no longer surprised by the terrifying collections in the basement.
Soon, some people took over the work of moving things for the two masters, while others started work on renovating the basement.
“Buzz——”
The sound of an electric drill was heard, smoke and dust rose up, and the whole pharmacy seemed to be shaking slightly.
Hong Bafu and others returned to the ground floor and waited idly for the construction to be completed.
In the shop, workers were coming in and out, sometimes carrying decoration materials into the basement, and sometimes carrying out discarded garbage materials. They were very busy.
Su Xia was at the door of the basement, communicating with Su Jianshe while directing the renovation of the basement.
Before long, the outlines of several rooms appeared.
About half an hour later, the workers began to install electrical circuits and replaced the lights in the dark basement. At the same time, they pasted bright yellow wallpaper around the basement to cover the originally gray walls.
Everything went smoothly without any surprises.
At this moment, Wu Hongyu suddenly came over and said to Su Xia: "How confident are you in refining a fifth-level potion now?"
Su Xia was stunned for a moment, then replied: "About 70%."
"Well, that's 90% done." Wu Hongyu nodded slightly, "Now that you have nothing to do, go and refine the fifth-level potion. I'll watch from the side."
"Now?" Su Xia was a little surprised.
Not only him, but also Hong Bafu and Lan Bafu standing beside him were also very confused.
Hong Bafu patted his ears and said to Wu Hongyu, "Auntie, it's so noisy in the shop now. The sound of the electric drill is almost deafening me. I can't make the potion, right?"
"What? You can't even overcome this little environmental problem? That old guy really spoils you too much!" Wu Hongyu said coldly.
"Auntie, refining medicine requires a quiet environment. This is recognized worldwide. Even ordinary people know it." Lan Bafu also spoke up to defend Hong Bafu.
"Well, I don't understand potions, but I have heard of them." Yi Mo said.
"Aunt Wu, why don't we let Master Su try it later?" Shen Yu also spoke.
Su Jianshe on the side didn't say anything. He would not interfere in Su Xia's affairs. He just watched quietly.
After listening to everyone's words, Wu Hongyu's expression remained indifferent. She just asked back: "A quiet environment? As long as the mind is quiet enough, any environment is okay?"
"Auntie, that being said, but in this environment..."
Lan Bafu scratched his head. This environment was really too noisy.
Wu Hongyu ignored him, kept looking at Su Xia, and said indifferently: "If you are not sure, forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Hearing this, Su Xia took a deep breath, glanced at the workbench in the corner of the room, and said calmly: "I'll try."
