The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

"Qingning Town, Changping Village."

Changping Village? Was it the Changping Village he was thinking of?

Wen Huaian's doubts were written all over his face.

"Yes, it's the Changping Village you were thinking of."

Although he got a positive answer from Lu Shi, Wen Huaian was still a little bit unbelievable.

In his impression, Changping Village is no different from other places, and is even poorer.

The only time he appeared in the public eye was because of the Juren gentleman who won the top spot in the provincial examination.

But this does make sense. Changping Village, which was able to produce the only juren in the surrounding area, must have its strengths.

"If you need the pill, you may have to wait for a while. Their village is not yet ready to sell it, and I only got one by chance."

Of course, the sale hasn't started yet, and they don't even know about it. The Monkey System silently complained in its heart that its host was even better at lying with open eyes.

"Thank you for letting me know. I haven't asked for your name yet." He didn't mind waiting a few more days after being ill for so many years. Moreover, he had a strong premonition that his illness could be cured this time.

"I will never change my name, nor my surname: Jia Ming."

"..."

After a trip to the casino, Lu Shi came out with 10,000 taels. That's right, just now, that generous man gave him another 2,000 taels.

The monkey system, bored out of its wits in the space, came out and couldn't help but sigh: "Host, we've made a fortune! This is so easy to make money!"

Lu Shi couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this. It turned out that only those who had never experienced the harshness of society would have such thoughts.

After the monkey system was teased, the man and the monkey slowly walked towards home. Under the moonlight, their shadows, one big and one small, clung to each other, looking extremely harmonious.

On the other side, in Changping Village, at Lu Shi’s home, a dark shadow hurried back from the back mountain.

Qi Jin was leaning on the bed, slowly flipping through the book in his hand. He didn't even raise his head when he heard the door open.

"what happened?"

"Master, I have just marked the area behind the mountain. Combined with the marks I made along the village roads this morning, if nothing unexpected happens, our people will arrive within three days."

"Well, let's go down."

Noticing Qi Qi standing still, Qi Jin finally looked up and asked, "Anything else?"

"When I came back, I passed by the west room and there was no one in it."

no one?

Qi Jin looked at the book in his hand. This was the book he asked Qi Qi to borrow from Lu Shi to pass the time.

It was just a book chosen at random, but the dense annotations on it still shocked Qi Jin. Every annotation on it perfectly matched his thoughts.

In the past few days, he also let Qi Qi understand Lu Shi's situation. Sickly and smart were his greatest understanding of Lu Shi. At the age of less than 20, he had reached a height that most people could never reach in their lifetime.

According to the villagers, if he had not fallen seriously ill just before the imperial examination, it would not have been impossible for him to advance to a higher level.

But in his opinion, if Lu Shi participated in the imperial examination this year, he would most likely be among the top three.

Pity……

But it’s not bad now. Since he has met such a talent in advance, there is no possibility of letting him go.

A dark light flashed in Qi Jin's eyes, and a plan quietly took shape in his mind.

"Understood, let's go down."

Everyone has his own secrets. As long as it doesn't interfere with him doing things for himself, he won't pursue it. However, whether it will interfere or not still needs to be considered. He may need to observe further.

About a quarter of an hour later, Lu Shi returned home with the monkey system. Both the man and the monkey moved very quietly, but only the monkey system believed that their every move tonight was unknown to anyone.

Lu Shi did not remind it that the people in the east room were still awake, and that the person in the dark was watching them.

Alas, it would be great if the Monkey System was like that man’s subordinates. This one… is too stupid.

As the man and the monkey entered the house, the only sounds left in the dark night were the chirping of insects.

Everyone seemed to have fallen asleep...

Early the next morning, Qi Qi was the first person to get up and took the initiative to make breakfast.

He knows a little bit about his master's thoughts. As a subordinate, he must share the master's responsibilities. He also has to take the initiative to do things that the master is embarrassed to do, such as trying to please Lu Shi and get him to join the group as soon as possible!

But the only thing he didn't take into consideration was his cooking skills. When the simple porridge appeared on the table, everyone was stunned.

Lu Shi frowned. Whose porridge was blue? What kind of chemical experiment was this? It was even harder to swallow than the black porridge.

Qi Qi didn't even think about himself carefully. According to the way Lu Shi had been pampering him these past few days and not letting him have a second to spare, if he had a talent for cooking, how could he have only started cooking today?

Lu Shi simply got up and went back to his room. He had stayed up late last night to come up with a plan for poverty alleviation and prosperity for Changping Village, and his mind was still not very clear. He had wanted to discuss the plan with the village chief after breakfast, but now... he decided to take a nap first.

Qi Qi was clearly not convinced by the crowd's disdain. He scooped out a portion in a clean bowl and brought it into the room.

"Master, try the porridge I made. Even though it may not look good, it tastes great."

Even Qi Qi himself felt a little guilty after saying this. Obviously, he had not even tasted the porridge himself, but he had followed the normal procedures, so how could there be any problem!

It’s hard to describe. After Qi Jin finished washing up, he saw this unappetizing porridge.

"Take it away!"

Blue affects appetite!

Qi Qi felt wronged, but he didn't say it.

Humph, you guys have no taste! If you don't eat it, I'll eat it myself!

He picked up the bowl of blue porridge that he had despised and returned to the dining table. Looking at the bowl of blue porridge, it took only a few seconds for an uncontrollable fear to surge in his heart. He always felt that the bowl of porridge was poisonous, and the psychological defense line he had just built up collapsed in an instant.

No one should notice if I pour it out secretly.

As soon as Qi Qi started to move, he was caught on the spot by the monkey system that had just entered the house. When their eyes met, Qi Qi suddenly got goose bumps all over his body.

"Haha, haha." Awkward laughter echoed in their ears. Qi Qi couldn't help but cover his ears, which seemed like he was trying to cover his ears and steal the bell.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak."

Although he didn't know what the monkey said, Qi Qi inexplicably understood what it meant: it is shameful to waste food.

There was no other way, Qi Qi closed his eyes as if he was ready to die, picked up the bowl and took a deep sip.

Huh? Nothing!

Qi Qi savored it carefully and thought, "Hey, it's quite sweet." He said there was nothing wrong with the porridge he made.

The monkey system showed a trace of sympathy when it saw Qi Qi, who had closed his eyes and was enjoying himself. Poor guy, he was so poisoned that he became stupid.

When he woke up in the afternoon, Lu Shi took the poverty alleviation plan and went to the village chief's house alone.

"Village chief, I have a way to make money for the village."

"Oh? What can I do?"

"Alchemy!"

"oh oh?!"

Refining…refining pills?! What the hell?!
