After delivering the armor, Zheng Qing couldn't help but wryly smile and said, "The tech department is going to curse me out. These 20 sets were supposed to be put on sale, but they were actually for internal staff, yet Miss Turquoise Pool bought them all."

She glanced at the four people before her and couldn't resist asking, "May I ask why you all are unwilling to join the Special Warfare Bureau?"

Li Qianxia looked at Li Changzhou, who then looked at Yang Qinglan.

Yang Qinglan's voice was serene and elegant, "To put it in philosophical terms—we have too many material, social, and worldly worries, leaving us no time for existential, philosophical, or religious turmoil."

"Exactly!" Li Changzhou agreed heartily, "If daily life restricts us, we can't easily touch upon life's greater limits."

"You do have a bit of a philosopher's potential," said Yang Qinglan with a laugh.

"What can't I do?" Li Changzhou's spine straightened even more.

.....Zheng Qing suspected they were showing off their affection, so she turned her gaze to Turquoise Pool.

Turquoise Pool's voice was just as elegant but with a languid and coquettish tilt, "My reason is very simple. If I can be an Emperor, why would I settle for being an Empress?"

...Zheng Qing wondered if she was also bragging about something, perhaps an 'Instinct' of S-rank?

"Let's continue looking," she steered the conversation back on track.

After looking at the props, next were the one-time consumable items like Talismans.

Their functions varied widely, such as speeding up, repelling evil, healing, defense, and so forth.

The prices were significantly cheaper compared to props. Li Changzhou and his group were quite tempted, but they refrained from buying immediately in case something better came up later.

Turquoise Pool, on the other hand, was different.

"From there," she pointed to the beginning, "to here, give me a hundred of each kind," she said.

Another 50,000 Game Coins, even after a 20 percent discount and rounding down.

With such extravagant spending, not just the three poor snobs leading an exquisite life, but even the players from the Special Warfare Bureau couldn't help but crowd around to watch.

Past the Talisman area was the Elixir Pills section.

"You'll definitely need this," Zheng Qing pointed confidently to a white pill in a cultivation tank, "the 'Hundred Vegetables Pill,' made from vegetables cultivated from seeds in the game, turned into an Elixir, very rich in nutrients, one pill is equivalent to one meal, saving time on eating, and can also be taken back with you, acting like portable provisions, it also prevents enemies from poisoning your food."

All very useful.

Firstly, it saves time.

Even some young people who love gaming can get "busy" enough to wish they didn't have to eat or shower, let alone players in a hurry to cultivate or complete quests?

With just one Elixir, at least 10 minutes are saved—not to mention the extremely rich nutrition.

Secondly, there's taking them back and preventing poisoning.

No one can be sure of what situations they'll encounter, so it's always right to have some food on hand.

And as for preventing poisoning, with countless poisons in the world, being immune to all is useless.

Li Changzhou had been poisoned in the year 1880 simply because he wanted to try the food in America at that time.

"I don't need it, my team has a player who practices Alchemy," said Turquoise Pool with a smile.

Zheng Qing turned to Li Changzhou and the others, then heard Yang Qinglan muse, "Officer Zheng, do you buy Elixir Pills?"

"Buy Elixir Pills?"

That's right, the reason why Li Changzhou was poisoned in 1880... was entirely because he wanted to taste the ration of 1880s America.

The S-rank item 'Little Jade Cauldron' appeared in Yang Qinglan's palm, as clean as the 'Little Jade Cauldron' itself.

A green Elixir was encased in a white light circle, flying out from the Little Jade Cauldron.

Li Changzhou introduced earnestly:

"The 'Thousand Vegetable Pill,' made from vegetables cultivated from seeds in the game, turned into an Elixir, extremely, extremely, extremely rich in nutrients, one pill is equivalent to a day's meals, saving time on eating, and can also be taken back, acting as carried provisions, also preventing poisoning."

"Besides, it can—relieve hunger and thirst; whiten and nourish the skin; promote gastrointestinal movement, improve constipation; prevent diseases like high lipids, high blood pressure, high blood sugar; people from the 21st century who consume it regularly have certain life-extension effects."

The last part sounded like an advertisement.

Zheng Qing: "..."

"One pill—" Li Changzhou looked at the official price of the 'Hundred Vegetables Pill,' 1 Game Coin, "two Money."

"How many?" Zheng Qing received a notice from the logistics group.

Her way of asking was more tycoon-like than Turquoise Pool, simply asking how much the other side had! The motherland was truly powerful!

Li Changzhou looked at Yang Qinglan; he only knew how to consume the Elixirs and was clueless about everything else.

"A lot." Yang Qinglan didn't know the exact number either.

As Li Changzhou's vitality grew stronger, the size of 'Honey Jar World' hadn't changed, but its vibrancy had surged, with vegetables ripening daily and with such variety, consumption was low, supply seemed inexhaustible, mostly used by Yang Qinglan for Alchemy.

Now even the livestock were fed only the most refined Elixirs, each looking like an Immortal Beast, more and more adorable.

This didn't stop Li Changzhou from religiously slaughtering one every day, to avoid developing attachment, and partly because the meat taste kept improving.

Zheng Qing called over staff to tally, confirmed there was no issue with the Elixirs, and then purchased them all.

At a unit price of 2 Game Coins, the three earned a total of 20,000.

Li Changzhou also rounded down the amount for them and agreed on long-term cooperation.

To the massive number of players in the Special Warfare Bureau, such a quantity of Elixir Pills was just a drop in the ocean, but with the sole disease prevention and certain life-extension effects they had, the Special Warfare Bureau had to buy them.

Further, they could be used for research into Alchemy.

The nation had an 'Instinct Shennong' player, providing ample supply of vegetables, so 'Hundred Vegetables Pills' were not short in quantity, but in quality.

Yang Qinglan's 'Thousand Vegetable Pill' was at least four or five grades higher than the 'Hundred Vegetables Pill.' To put it in terms of technology, it was like paying for an alien spaceship.
