The two of them parachuted down at some distance from the pharmacy.
At this moment, nearly all the goblins in the city were attracted to the auction square by the huge floating advertisement, leaving this street in front of the pharmacy cold and deserted.
Great, it's the perfect time to discuss secret matters!
The Wine Angel also headed towards the square: "You go, call me in the guild channel once you're done."
Calling an NPC in the guild channel, it truly feels bizarre.
Chun cautiously looked around the surroundings, with muddy roads and squat, chaotic buildings. This goblin city truly lives up to the name of a pigsty, no wonder even two ordinary Enchanting Demons are unwilling to come, what dirty shoes! And who knows how cheap the housing price here might be.
Chun arrived at the entrance of the pharmacy where green smoke billowed, which equated to the stench of a sewer!
The filth of the mud here submerged the feet, reaching a point beyond description, even the pharmacy's walls were richly covered with fruit-bearing plants.
Wait a minute! Chun suddenly felt familiar with the fruits and leaves, and upon closer inspection, Holy Shit! Aren't these the fist-sized thin pumpkins from the island? Just the color seems different?
At that time, the first impression upon arriving on the island was that these pumpkins must be medicinal herbs to cure the plague, but being sick myself, I resolutely refused to eat them!
So that's it! Her name, Nan, means small pumpkin, she has actually developed a cure for the plague, the breakthrough point is the pumpkin!
Wow ha ha ha, so it is! The century-old brew corresponds to the Wine Angel, while the pumpkins in the garden correspond to the island's Guardian God, this island is undoubtedly a divine-level intelligence treasure trove!
Chun immediately switched to the main account, stopped AFKing, and quickly left the mine running towards the garden—preparation! At least there are a few pumpkins on the island, I should have a clear idea of what they look like. Otherwise, if talking about pumpkins comes up and I can't respond properly, what then?
As for the alternate account, it just stood motionless in front of the pumpkin wall outside the door, this is called playing deeply, laying groundwork, if she is of Guardian God level, she will surely notice me seriously studying pumpkins outside the door, this also counts as catering to her liking.
According to the hint given by Wine Angel, her type of not speaking or interacting might resemble the Shoe Angel, relatively passive, and her passive nature might give me enough time to spark her curiosity…
...
Ten minutes later, the main account returned to the garden where the weeds were taller than people, doing an inventory of the number of pumpkins, and determining that with roughly a few hundred, it can't be counted all at once!
No problem, taking out the phone, turning on the counting app to scan the screen, and deriving some results, approximately 350 pieces. The error might be due to being covered by grass, and my eyesight isn't good either.
After getting prepared, switching back to the alternate account to formally pay a visit.
Then I saw a small, thin figure covered in green smoke, with disheveled hair, stirring something in a large pot.
Chun was stunned, even though I had imagined her appearance, even if it couldn't compare to a mercenary like Kasha, to be so shabby… one can imagine how heartbreaking her experiences have been.
Slightly nervous, Chun greeted: "Nan!"
The other party didn't lift her head, unmoved. Really unmoved, really not curious about me standing outside for ten minutes?
Although I've already identified her, I must confirm with code words, otherwise, if there's a mistake, everything would be lost.
Chun looked around: "I found you! Mermaid Helen said—"
Chun deliberately paused to carefully observe her reaction!
As expected, her hair trembled slightly; being a weak bird in Helen's eyes, she indeed recognizes Helen! And Helen actually said nothing, didn't even know her, so Chun paused here, letting the AI auto-search the keyword "autocompletion" to trigger the event.
It's possible that this event made her determine that I'm a friend of the Mermaid and have backing, worthy of her reliance.
In any case, double confirmation!
Chun changed the topic: "I also have 350 small pumpkins on my island, just like your pumpkins!"
She suddenly looked up!
Chun finally saw her pale and exquisite small face hidden by her disheveled hair—this is a girl about the same as Sherry, no wonder with not much power!
And just at this moment, the surrounding scene suddenly turned blurry!
Chun was full of excitement and joy, this is entering the special scene mode, last time it was triggered by Baron Fepeng's carriage appearing with the Cleaner Fish, this must be a major event being triggered!
She spoke, her voice light and nimble: "What color, how much weight?"
Just knew she would test me!
Chun excitedly hurried to switch to the main account, picked up a pumpkin to confirm and quickly switched back to answer: "Red, and orange-yellow, weight 2!"
She asked again: "What color are the pumpkins here?"
"Dark green."
She asked again: "What taste?"
Holy shit! Originally didn't want to eat, but broke the taboo for the sake of the test! Enabled taste description feature.
Chun took a bite—system prompt: Warning! You have consumed a sweet and sour raw pumpkin, you are experiencing a state of toxic paralysis, your Whale's Power has immunized the toxin damage effect.
Chun replied: "Sweet and sour, also toxic paralysis."
She nodded: "Actually, both kinds of pumpkins are dark green, but when you're plagued, the pumpkins in your eyes turn red-orange! A normal person would find it bitter and only vomit, but when plagued, the sweet and sour taste is perceived, causing paralysis and hallucinations!"
Holy shit, she completely tailored the remedy to the situation, she outright said I'm plagued, so she knows who I am, have I passed the test?
She spoke again: "Inside the pumpkin is the seed, you must cherish it greatly. Under the pumpkin field, you must—persistently—cultivate deeply."
She said the final four words one by one, and the blurry scene once again returned to normal!
At the same time, she also lowered her head again, continuing to stir the large pot.
Is the independent scene over?
Chun knew, the answer lies in her distinctly different four words! Persistently cultivate deeply, what's that supposed to mean? Does it mean I should be a pumpkin farmer? But this is clearly code language, once an independent scene is triggered it can't simply be about farming pumpkins…
Chun was dumbfounded for a while, could it be a hint for me to dig for treasure under the pumpkin field?
Could it be possible, that the mine actually contains no minerals but was dug this deep just to find treasures, which are actually under the pumpkin field?
Alright, since the main account has nothing to do, just auto-farm digging under the pumpkin field.
As for the alternate account, continue the conversation. What needed to be discussed has been discussed in the independent scene, what must not be discussed, absolutely cannot be.
Chun directly spoke: "Nan, I hope you join my Dios Commerce Association—"
Nan also directly replied: "Alright, but I need 10,000 Mining Coins to complete the research, my pharmacy owes 90,000 in debt, it can be transferred to the guild, and then I'll call you to come for the research results."
So straightforward! As expected of a confidant, no, you're my little sweetheart!
Chun became excited: "No problem!"
——System prompt: Congratulations! You've invited the Plague Angel to join the commerce association, your commerce association has acquired a third member, and the commercial guild's reputation has increased.
——System prompt: You have privately invested 10,000 Mining Coins into the guild, and paid the Plague Angel's salary of 10,000 Mining Coins.
——Dios Commerce Order prompt: You've obtained the asset transfer of the Plague Angel's pharmacy, the guild's fixed assets increased by 300,000, acquired a debt of 90,000, and elevated the guild's reputation.
