This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous Chapter 54 - 54 54 Insomnia1

54: Chapter 54 Insomnia_1 54: Chapter 54 Insomnia_1 With the Ti Pocket Watch in hand, Mu You could not make a mistake in card creation.

This alone saved him quite a lot of ti and energy compared to other sorcerers.

…

The process of card creation this ti continued from half past four in the early morning till seven in the morning.

At seven in the morning, when the first rays of the morning sun fell on the window, Mu You finally completed his first Magic Card in life: the Small Fireball Technique!

He picked up the finished card and looked at it in the morning light.

As expected, it perfectly overlapped with the side of the crystal in his mind where the small fireball was stored!

“Nice!”

Mu You happily put away the card and stretched his waist.

Cola was still sleeping soundly, and Mu You didn’t wake him.

He went out to eat breakfast with his shoulders moving.

By the ti he returned after having breakfast, he saw Little Ya and Lin Xue coming arm in arm to the pet shop door.

“Boss, did you…

pull another all-nighter?” Little Ya turned very serious when she saw Mu You’s face.

“Is it that obvious…”

Mu You touched his nose.

Even without a mirror, he could imagine that he probably had heavy dark circles under his eyes and bloodshot eyes again.

What’s strange was, even though his body showed signs of exhaustion, he didn’t feel tired at all…

“Boss, do you have insomnia?

Do you want to go to the hospital?

Or let Sister Xue check…” Little Ya asked with a worried face.

At this ti, Lin Xue also looked over and nodded: “I have a dical certificate too.

Do you need to examine you?”

As she spoke, her gaze swept up and down over Mu You’s body, like so kind of X-ray machine, intending to see through all his ailnts.

“Ahem, no need, I’m not sick, definitely not sick…”

Mu You quickly waved his hand.

Honestly speaking, he felt that his body, after becoming a player, had in many ways gone beyond the scope of a normal human body.

He was really afraid that Lin Xue might find sothing out.

“Alright, it’s okay if you don’t want to be checked.

But you must go to sleep now, Boss.

The shop can be managed by the two of us.” Little Ya insisted.

“Are you sure you can handle it without ?” Mu You asked.

“Yes, yes.

There hasn’t been much business recently anyway.

So go and take so rest quickly!” Little Ya nodded cheerfully, pushing Mu You’s back towards the staircase.

“Should you be happy that there’s no business?

Little Ya, you weren’t like this!” Mu You felt both exasperated and amused.

“Hehe, isn’t it because our shop has a good reputation now?” Little Ya stuck out her tongue.

After experiencing the previous busy period, Little Ya clearly knew that the lack of business recently was only due to the influence of a case in the past few days, and the fact that most pets in the shop had already been reserved and new stocks had yet to arrive.

As soon as new pets were purchased in the future, the business was sure to return to a state of custor overflow.

“You little girl…”

Mu You sighed helplessly.

Unable to resist her, and feeling the need for rest himself, he decided not to argue further and went back to his room to take a nap.

However, when he lay on the bed, he simply couldn’t fall asleep.

So, he took out the Star Spirit Dictionary and opened it to learn so foreign language.

But he found the densely packed Star Spirit runes on the pages strangely distorted, as if to remind him of sothing.

After looking closely for a while, he discovered every page crevice was unevenly written with two big characters: Card Creation!

Mu You gave a wry smile.

He had indeed been overly diligent.

Unless he worked ahead a bit, he couldn’t sleep soundly.

Speaking of which, today was Wednesday.

According to the instructions of the Aries ring in the ga, the Secret Society would hold a eting every Thursday midnight.

aning, tonight at midnight, he was going to et with the other eleven mbers of the Secret Society…

He wasn’t quite aware of the nature of this eting, but in any case, it couldn’t hurt to prepare a few more Magic Cards.

After all, these cards carrying Black Magic are the hard currency in a sorcerer’s trade.

Thinking this way, Mu You found himself with even more reason not to rest.

He put away the dictionary, got up, returned to the desk, and started making Magic Cards again.

The card-making process continued until ten at night.

During this ti, Mu You made two more Little Fireball Cards and two Rejuvenation Cards.

At this point, the ga just issued a prompt.

Upon checking, his character had finally returned to the quiet village after a long journey.

Mu You decisively controlled the character to enter the Old Cat Store at the village entrance.

[You enter the store, the Old Cat Shopkeeper joyously welcos an old friend’s arrival, and shows you three items for the day.]

[Frozen Potion], [Ice Shock], [Ice-Tip Staff].

Today’s store seed to be a freezing special, selling all freeze-related items and spells, but Mu You, as usual, couldn’t afford any of them.

Ignoring the options, he clicked directly on the avatar of the Old Cat Store’s owner, then typed ‘Inspirational Grass’ in the pop-up search bar.

[Inspirational Grass: A type of mint-like plant that grows below three thousand ters in the dark abyss, each plant bears five leaves, the leaves emit a faint fragrance, and after eating, it can briefly enhance the user’s perception of spirits.

Value: 100-year lifespan, Pre-order price: 120-year lifespan.]

“So expensive?”

Mu You was taken aback.

He thought the materials for the Spirit Summoning Potion would be about the sa as the Magic Beast Material he had defeated on the road, but it turned out not to be the case.

The quality of this potion was obviously much higher than he had imagined.

He hurriedly checked others.

[Mandrake Juice: Juice extracted from the Mandrake, has a strong sleepy soul-soothing effect, essential for making sleep potions.

Mandrake’s value: 240-year lifespan, Pre-order price: 288-year lifespan.]

[Regeneration Grass: …Value: 180 years…]

[Red Dragon Blood: …Value: 1000 years…Out of stock.]

[Lighthouse Jellyfish: …Value: 270 years…]

[Troll Taro: …Value: 150 years…]

“Damn!”

These prices left Mu You speechless, implying that the 100 years for Inspirational Grass was actually the cheapest, with the others being even more expensive, especially Red Dragon Blood, which required a thousand years for just one drop…

Can he afford such things?

It seems the witch was indeed trying to discourage him…

Mu You bitterly smiled and left the store.

Near the entrance of the village, the Scarecrow was still standing.

It had been in its self-imposed seclusion for several days now, ignoring Mu You.

After so thought, Mu You decided to take a side trip to test his luck.

[You approach the Scarecrow, finding that it has not gone into hibernation this ti, but is instead looking at you with a bit of fear: How…how are you here again?]

“Roar!

Brother Scarecrow, you’re finally awake!”

Mu You was thrilled.

The Scarecrow had been secluding himself for so many days, but at last, it seed to have recovered!

[You excitedly go up to the Scarecrow and, under its surprised gaze, propose to buy information from it.]

[You sequentially ask for the acquisition paths of six materials: ‘Inspirational Grass’, ‘Mandrake Juice’, ‘Regeneration Grass’, ‘Red Dragon Blood’…

Unfortunately, these do not fall under the Scarecrow’s knowledge.

It only has information about the village.]

[However, the Scarecrow said that it could still offer you a possibly useful suggestion, which requires a paynt of 1-year lifespan to buy, will you pay?]

“Pay!” Mu You decided to listen to it first.

[Two hundred miles south of the quiet village, there is a mystical mountain which is shrouded in fog all year round.

It is fraught with dangers, but due to the abundant magic within the mountain, lots of wild magic herbs grow there.

It is a place that many dicinal plant gatherers frequently visit.

If you are looking for dicinal materials, you might want to try your luck there.]

“Oh?

A mountain covered with herbal dicines, that seems like a place worth checking out…”

Mu You nodded.

Even if he couldn’t find the materials he needed, if he could collect so other magic herbs, they would sooner or later co in handy for making other potions.

In his thoughts, five seconds quickly passed, and this ti Mu You didn’t press the pocket watch.

It was only a year of lifespan after all, and the information the Scarecrow provided was very valuable, so Mu You decided not to freeload this ti.

He guessed that there might be so goodwill settings for this Scarecrow, shearing a sheep too harshly could cause it to retreat into seclusion again.

Occasionally, you have to give it a bit of sweetness so that you can keep doing business for a long ti.

[You leave.]

[As the Scarecrow watches you walk away, it feels incredible: I actually earned a year of lifespan from this swindler?

Am I dreaming?]
