I'm a male god in Liyue

"!"

"However, there is some truth to the saying that one's appearance reflects one's heart."

"?"

Zhu Zi lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized: "I understand, boss, you mean I shouldn't judge people by their appearance!"

Xia Zhi looked pleased: "That's right."

The two employees in the shop are not very mature. Shen He, needless to say, has lived in the mountains for too long and is too innocent and straightforward. Zhu Zi, on the other hand, has read too many light novels and is full of fantasies. They both need him, the boss, to educate them on life principles.

No, there are more than two. There are also Yao Yao and Qi Qi. One is too young and inexperienced, and the other is too old and out of touch with the times.

Sigh, being a boss isn't easy; you have to worry about so much.

It was nine o'clock when the shop opened for business.

The guests today were mostly talking about the reconstruction of the Qunyu Pavilion.

Xia Zhi had little interest in civil engineering, so he silently observed the guests' clothing and appearance, hoping to find a suitable person to learn from.

He didn't use this skill yesterday, so it's ready to be activated at any time.

Merchants, adventurers, scholars, young women, travelers...

Despite the diverse backgrounds of the customers who come to the store, not a single one has a black iron progress bar.

I doubt I'll learn any good skills from them.

Xia Zhi was a little disappointed.

I wonder when Mr. Zhongli will be able to return from the construction site. There are just too few high-quality men like him in this city.

The restaurant was open until 11:30 a.m. Xia Zhi was silently thinking about what dishes to make for lunch when he suddenly heard Qi Qi's slightly surprised voice coming from the doorway.

"Mr. Bai?"

Xia Zhi couldn't help but shift his perspective to the other side and "saw" that Doctor Bai Shu of Bubulu was standing at the door with a white snake with round eyes wrapped around his neck and a silver progress bar hanging on his body: [1%].

"Cough, Qiqi..."

Bai Zhu covered his mouth slightly with his hand and coughed twice.

His face was very pale, and he looked weak, but his expression was still gentle and smiling.

Xia Zhi scrutinized Bai Shu, her brows furrowing imperceptibly.

This was the second time he had seen Bai Shu.

The last time he saw Bai Shu, he had just met Shen He and took her to Bubulu to visit Qi Qi. He noticed that she didn't eat much at Liuliting at noon, so he bought her some Qingxin Liuli bags as snacks. He had a brief conversation with Bai Shu in the lobby.

At that time, apart from feeling that his pupils and the white snake's pupils were somewhat strange, Xia Zhi did not notice anything else unusual.

Now, Xia Zhi is a master of poisons. With his extraordinary abilities, he can tell at a glance that Bai Shu's body has become very bad.

Not only was he poisoned by several strange toxins, but his life force was also extremely weak.

Xia Zhi was somewhat puzzled.

Bai Shu's medical skills are already considered very high in Liyue Harbor. With his abilities, he might not be able to cure some rare poisons in a short time, but he shouldn't have been poisoned by so many.

The hermitage was not lacking in nourishing medicinal herbs. He could take a few prescriptions, calmly regulate his body for a period of time, and gradually nourish his vitality. It shouldn't be so thin.

Unless he did it on purpose...

Xia Zhi could see that many toxins had long been deeply ingrained in his body, indicating that he had been suffering from a chronic illness for a long time.

As a doctor, he couldn't possibly be unaware of his own physical condition, yet he allowed it to accumulate until it reached such a serious stage.

Could there be some hidden story behind this?

Qiqi led Baishu into the shop and sat down, then she walked to the table.

"Mr. Xia, two glasses of juice, please."

"it is good."

Xia Zhi nodded, took out a clean glass, and began to prepare the juice.

During this process, he noticed that Bai Zhu was looking at him with a curious gaze that was different from that of normal guests.

Changsheng was the same, staring at him as if observing something.

Xia Zhi was a little confused about Bai Shu's intentions for coming today, but Bai Shu was a good person to learn from.

"Successfully used [Stealing Skills] and learned the skill [Medical Mastery] from the target."

"【Medical Proficiency】: Become a master of medicine."

As expected of the best physician in Liyue Harbor, Bai Shu's medical skills have indeed reached the level of a master.

Xia Zhi felt as if his mind had suddenly been filled with all sorts of medical knowledge about identifying, preparing, and manufacturing medicines.

He looked at Bai Zhu again, and with the help of the newly acquired [Medical Proficiency], he could see that in addition to various toxins, various diseases were also lurking in Bai Zhu's body.

He was practically a terminally ill person on the verge of death.

Xia Zhi's doubts deepened.

After mixing two glasses of juice, Qiqi returned with the juice and placed the glasses on the table.

"Mr. Bai, please enjoy your drink. The two glasses of juice will cost 200 moras in total."

"Thank you, Qiqi."

Bai Shu paid the money and saw Qi Qi carefully count the Mora she received before putting it away and turning to continue her work.

Changsheng watched Qiqi's retreating figure and said in a voice only Baishu could hear, "Look, Qiqi doesn't trust you anymore, she's afraid you'll pay her less."

Bai Shu shook his head and smiled, ignoring Chang Sheng.

He lowered his head, looking at the colorful juice on the table, a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

He could smell a very pleasant fruity aroma, and the aroma was quite varied.

Changsheng asked in a low voice, "How is it?"

Bai Zhu picked up the cup and said softly, "I can't smell anything unusual; I'll only know after I drink it."

He took a sip, his expression first showing surprise, then a clear look of astonishment.

Changsheng asked again in a low voice, "How is it?"

Bai Zhu paused for a moment, then said, "The taste lives up to its reputation, and I even detected a trace of vitality in it..."

"【vitality】!?"

"Yes, but the aura is very faint, though the medicinal properties are extremely mild."

"This... I'll try it..."

Bai Zhu picked up the cup and fed Chang Sheng a small sip.

It sensed that the juice did indeed contain a trace of vitality.

Chang Sheng also fell silent, and finally whispered, "It's a good thing."

Bai Shu nodded, slowly sipping her juice while continuing to observe Xia Zhi.

He didn't possess the Eye of God, seemingly just an ordinary person, but his complexion looked very good, and his vitality was exceptionally strong...

That's quite normal. He's the owner of this little shop, and he drinks this rainbow juice like water every day, so his vitality is naturally abundant.

He watched for a while longer, but didn't notice anything unusual about Xia Zhi, so he quietly looked away.

After finishing two glasses of juice.

Bai Shu greeted Qi Qi and got up to leave.

On the way, thanks to the symbiotic contract, Changsheng clearly sensed that Baishu's physical condition had improved somewhat.

"That juice is good for your health, you can drink more of it."

"Well, it's a pity that each person is limited to two cups."

"Although there are purchase restrictions, that store offers delivery."

"I'll ask Agui to come and buy me two drinks this afternoon."

"But that 'vitality' was too weak, and with a price of 100 Mora, we can't expect too much."

"Chang Sheng, can you identify what kind of medicinal herbs are used to make that juice?"

"No."

"Indeed, you've lost too much of your memories and intellect."

"The incense that Qiqi gave me did help me regain my memories, but the amount was too small."

"We also got the incense from that Mr. Xia... It seems we'll have to deal with him more often in the future."

Chapter 156 Just Spoil Her

After closing for the afternoon, Xia Zhi went into the kitchen and started making fried chicken.

The chicken legs and wings, which had been marinated in the refrigerator all day, were now very flavorful.
