950 Green Nebula Ganoderma (1/2)
”From today onward, I will be bringing the medicines here every day. If all goes well, you will be able to recover fully in half a month.” Chen Xiaobei said. ” Yu Junmo's body seemed to be very compliant with my medication. He may be able to walk in three to five days.”
”Thank you so much Elder Wu! Thank you! The Spiritual Stones we have prepared are all accounted for. They are all here. Please accept this…”
”Elder Wu, please accept these Spiritual Stones… We truly are grateful to you…”
The four idiots expressed their utmost gratitude—they were almost begging Chen Xiaobei to accept the 4,000 Spiritual Stones. Even if they were to be lent 10,000 brains, they would not have guessed that Chen Xiaobei did not even spend a single dime concocting the medicine. It was just a ruse to scam them of their Spiritual Stones!
In fact, in less than three days after receiving the Spiritual Stones, Chen Xiaobei would feed them freshly baked Heavenly Dog Biscuits!
The four idiots were tricked by Chen Xiaobei and they even helped Chen Xiaobei to earn more money.
”Mm, just move the Spiritual Stones to my car.” Chen Xiaobei ordered before adding, ”I will be going to the treasure vault to fetch some precious medicine. You should all rest.”
”Goodbye! Elder Wu!” the four of them hailed in unison, absolutely reverential.
”Zhuang Hao, why don't you come with me? You will pick out the medicines that I ask you to!” said Chen Xiaobei.
The last time they were in the Zhuang's vault, Zhuang Hao took whatever medicine Chen Xiaobei directed him to take. Chen Xiaobei did not touch a single thing inside. After that time, Zhuang Hao had completely dispelled his wariness of Chen Xiaobei stealing. He even spoke well of Chen Xiaobei in front of Zhuang Lao Taijun.
This time, Zhuang Hao wanted to show off his generosity before the others.
”God-grandfather, You are being too polite! Don't you think your grandson trusts you?” Zhuang Hao then proceeded to say, ”Why don't you go in on your own. I'm not familiar with the drugs. I would be wasting your time instead.”
”You really trust me?”
Chen Xiaobei pretended to hesitate.
”Of course! What grandson doesn't trust in their grandfather?” Zhuang Hao laughed heartily, ”You've always told me 'Don't employ anyone you don't trust'. Here is the key to the vault. You may enter as you please!”
”Alright! Oh, I am very pleased that you said that!” Chen Xiaobei nodded and said, ”I will be out in half an hour.”
Chen Xiaobei then left the mansion.
Chen Xiaobei had only been to the vault once last time but he had a very good sense of direction so he had no trouble finding the vault. He had already seen everything there is to see in the vault—there was an array of exotic treasures enough to fill a museum!
However, there was only one thing that Chen Xiaobei had not seen. And that was the large, golden strongbox that was placed in the innermost part of the vault!
”My poor grandson! I asked you to come with but you refused. So, don't blame your grandfather for opening the box! Hehe…”
Chen Xiaobei chuckled to himself.
He then took out a golden beetle from his pocket to which he commanded, ”Xiao'er, bite a hole in the back of the box.”
”Alright!”
Xiao'er's eyes lit up. As long as there was something to it, its mood would be exceptionally good.
”Bless me, Buddha! Let it be Spiritual Stones inside! I don't want anything else right now. I just want the stones! A lot of stones…”
Chen Xiaobei was both hopeful and despondent at the same time.
It was no question that Chen Xiaobei really needed the Spiritual Stones. Especially since he would need the Spiritual Qi to concoct Heavenly Dog Biscuit.
