Qi Liangliang said, "The basic salary has been doubled, and then we'll pay commission based on the number of packages delivered!"
Mona asked, "About how much is it per month?"
Qi Liangliang exclaimed excitedly, "I've calculated it, it should be around twenty or thirty thousand Mora!"
Akabane shook his head: "Twenty or thirty thousand sounds pretty good, but that's all thanks to the space ring, and you still need to travel to every country, so it's hard-earned money."
Charlotte pondered, "Is it possible that you could resell some goods while delivering packages and earn even more?"
Qi Liangliang was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"
Charlotte explained, "For example, if you come to Mondstadt to deliver a package now, you can buy some Mondstadt wine at a low price and put it in your spatial ring. Later, when you go to Fontaine or Nata to deliver packages, you can sell the wine you bought from Mondstadt to the locals at a higher price and make a profit from the price difference."
Qi Liangliang exclaimed in amazement, "It seems so!"
Mona said, "Isn't this a traveling merchant?"
Charlotte nodded: "Yes, but with spatial items, the transportation costs wouldn't be so high."
Qi Liangliang's eyes were already sparkling: "You're so smart!"
Charlotte smiled.
Fischl, walking beside her, glanced at the spatial ring in Qi Liangliang's hand, then looked at the spatial rings on the fingers of other girls, revealing a hint of envy.
Ke Lai had been quietly following behind alone, feeling a sense of alienation and incongruity from the bustling crowd.
Xia Ci sighed softly, walked over, and took her hand.
Kolai's body trembled again, and she whispered, "Lord Tree King..."
Xia Ci said softly, "Don't be afraid, everyone is fine."
Cole lowered her head and replied, "Mmm..."
Upon arriving at the restaurant, everyone requested a large private room and ordered a variety of dishes.
While eating, Cole was holding a knife and fork when suddenly her hands began to tremble. Although she tried hard to control them, she could not hold onto the utensils and let them slip from her hands and fall onto the plate with a crisp sound.
The others were drawn by the sudden noise and looked over at Cole.
The socially anxious person couldn't stand such a scene and was directly frightened.
Cole's face turned pale, and she lowered her head, repeatedly apologizing, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
"It's okay, no need to apologize."
"You didn't hurt yourself, did you?"
"How about I get you some new chopsticks?"
What happened to your hand?
……
No one blamed her; everyone expressed concern in their words.
Cole instinctively hid his hands under the table and said, "I'm fine..."
Xia Zhi glanced at Ke Lai's hands, which were wrapped in bandages, from God's perspective.
It was still shaking uncontrollably.
Clearly, it was the [Demon Scale Disease] on Cole's body that had flared up.
He originally planned to treat her when he got home that night.
Now that things have gone wrong, let's bring forward the treatment.
Xia Zhi stood up and said, "Miss Ke Lai, I am a doctor. Let me take a look at you."
Cole shook her head and refused: "No need... Don't worry, my hand will be fine in a little while."
Xia Ci said, "My cousin's medical skills are very good, Ke Lai, why don't you ask him to take a look at you?"
Ke Lai had actually seen many doctors, and she had long since given up hope of curing this strange illness.
Since the Tree King had already said so, Cole didn't dare to refuse and could only obediently stand up and say, "Okay, thank you, Mr. Xia."
Xia Zhi said, "Come with me."
Fortunately, there was a small private room in the restaurant's large private room where we could rest.
Xia Zhi walked into the small cubicle, and Ke Lai followed her in.
"sit down."
"it is good."
"Untie the bandage."
"……it is good."
With trembling hands, Ke Lai laboriously unwrapped the bandages, revealing a pair of hands covered in gray-black, scale-like growths.
A strong aura, tainted by [forbidden knowledge], emanated from his hands.
Xia Zhi couldn't help but frown slightly.
Cole looked up and saw him frowning.
She couldn't help but mistakenly believe that he, like other doctors, was frightened by her monstrous hands, which explained his disgusted and repulsive expression.
Cole's eyes dimmed, and she whispered, "It's ugly, isn't it?"
"Huh? What's ugly?"
"my hand."
"your hands?"
Xia Zhi's voice sounded puzzled, and he reached out and gently took her hand.
Cole's first thought was how warm his hand was, and then she realized what was happening and tried to pull away, somewhat flustered: "Mr. Xia..."
Xia Zhi said with a serious expression, "Don't move, I'm diagnosing you."
"Is this the correct diagnosis?"
"Of course, I'm blind, so this is the only way I can diagnose."
"Hey?"
Xia Zhi listened carefully to her pulse for a while before letting go of her hand. He then took off his black glasses, revealing his gray, lifeless eyes.
Cole was stunned.
Chapter 5014 Minor Illness and Cat's Meow (4K)
People with physical disabilities often feel inferior when they are around able-bodied people.
When faced with others who also have physical defects, this sense of inferiority can turn into a feeling of shared suffering.
Ke Lai stared blankly at Xia Zhi's gray eyes for a few seconds.
Xia Zhi looked at Ke Lai, and also at the silver progress bar hanging on her body.
After he put his glasses back on, she came to her senses and said softly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xia..."
Xia Zhi shook his head: "There's no need to keep apologizing. You didn't do anything wrong. If anyone's to blame, it's me for not telling you about this beforehand. Let's put these irrelevant things aside for now and talk about your Demon Scale Disease first."
Ke Lai looked at him and asked, "Mr. Xia, do you know about the Demon Scale Disease?"
Xia Zhi said, "I've heard a little about it. It's a disease unique to Sumeru, but this is actually the first time I've encountered it."
The first time we met...
Ke Lai's eyes, which had just lit up, dimmed again.
Xia Zhi asked, "You seem to still have the aura of demonic remnants on you. How did you get tainted by such things?"
Cole lowered his head and remained silent.
Seeing her like this, Xia Zhi sighed, "Since you don't want to talk about it, then forget it. I'll just help you cure your Demon Scale Disease first."
"Uh-huh?"
Cole suddenly looked up at him, staring at him in disbelief.
"Mr. Xia... what did you just say?"
Xia Zhi said softly, "I'll help you cure your Demon Scale Disease first."
"Can you cure Demon Scale Disease?"
"of course."
"impossible."
Why say it's impossible?
"Because...because Demon Scales disease is still incurable...if the treatment is appropriate, the progression of the patient's condition can be effectively controlled...but it can only delay it..."
"Who said that?"
"That's what all the doctors say."
