Chapter 122 Skill Exchange
"There are three ways for the host to acquire skill books. First, by increasing strength and level. When advancing in rank, the system will provide the host with three free draws. This method allows for random draws of high-level skill books and is the most cost-effective. Second, by completing the main quests issued by the system. Some quests reward skill books, but most are only low-level ones. Third, the host can use experience points or good/evil points to exchange for skill books in the shop. Skill books can be exchanged from low to high levels, yay!"
“However, the host’s level is too low and experience points are insufficient. To learn skills, you will have to sacrifice your good and evil points.” 666 then changed the subject and said, “Host, please click on the gold ingot on the panel.”
Ye Pianran did as instructed, raising her hand and tapping the gleaming gold ingot on the panel. A new interface then appeared. This new interface had nine equally sized squares, and in the topmost square lay a skill book titled "Tai Su Ling Zhen - Beginner".
"This interface in front of you is the shop, host! *chuckle*" 666 said, "There's only one skill book in the shop right now, 'Tai Su Ling Zhen - Beginner,' which is an introductory acupuncture skill book and is perfect for you right now. The exchange price is 100 points of good/evil value, *chuckle*."
"Exchange for 100 points of good and evil?" Ye Pianran frowned. "But I only have 75 points of good and evil. After exchanging, won't my points go into the negative?"
"Host, please rest assured, as long as you stay true to yourself and always treat others with sincerity, you will be able to quickly regain your good and evil points," 666 said. "If you really want to exchange for them, just take the book off the shelf."
Thinking of the consequences of having too low a good and evil value, as mentioned by 666, Ye Pianran hesitated for a moment. But then she thought of the evil deeds Ye Yingrou had committed and the tragic ending of her previous life, and she immediately stopped hesitating and used one hundred good and evil points to exchange for the only skill book in the shop.
After the skill book was successfully redeemed, the shop disappeared automatically, and Ye Pianran's almost full "good and evil value" bar on the original system panel was instantly cleared, and its color changed from emerald green to crimson.
Looking at the glaring color, Ye Pianran sighed softly. It seemed she would have to work harder in medicine to fill her good-evil points again. However, exchanging one hundred good-evil points for this acupuncture manual she had never heard of before was still well worth it.
"By the way, 666 has a piece of advice for the host." Seeing Ye Pianran holding the skill book with obvious affection, 666's voice suddenly became serious.
"This spiritual spring in the space can indeed stop bleeding and promote tissue regeneration, make one immune to all poisons, and even reshape bones and muscles, bringing the dead back to life. However, the host should also understand the principle that possessing such a treasure is a crime. If others find out about something that goes against the natural order and can defy the heavens, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the world. From now on, the host must not use the spiritual spring water to save people in front of others, and must not let others, especially Ye Yingrou, know about the existence of the spiritual spring water and the space!"
Ye Pianran took a deep breath and nodded, saying, "I understand."
"When 666 upgraded just now, it temporarily sealed the consciousness of those people outside. Now the effect is about to wear off and they are about to wake up. Host, you should return to reality as soon as possible."
"If I need to find you, do I need to enter this space again?" Ye Pianran asked hesitantly.
"666 and the host have been successfully bound. From now on, if the host needs anything, he/she can directly call 666 in his/her mind. When 666 reaches the maximum level, it will be able to leave the space with the host. Chirp~" 666 said, waving its little wings.
Ye Pianran smiled gently, tapped its little head, and then withdrew her consciousness from the space as before, successfully returning to Aunt Meng's room.
Just as 666 had predicted, everything inside seemed to stand still. Aunt Meng's face remained etched with gratitude, and the baby in her arms had its mouth wide open. However, with Ye Pianran's return, 666's forbidden technique instantly lost its effect. The baby's cries rang out again without warning, and Aunt Meng's tears slid down her cheeks as she spoke hoarsely to Ye Pianran:
"If it weren't for Miss, my daughter and I would probably be on our way to the Yellow Springs today. We have no way to repay your life-saving grace. From now on, as long as you or Madam give us your orders, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
As soon as Aunt Meng finished speaking, Ye Pianran suddenly heard the sound of "666" in her mind:
“Aunt Meng’s favorability +5, good and evil value +1, host’s current good and evil value is -24.”
So that's how good and evil points are increased. Ye Pianran was amazed by this scene. She bent down and gently helped Aunt Meng up, and said softly, "Saving lives is the heart of a doctor. Aunt Meng doesn't need to make such a promise. As long as you live well with your little brother, you will be repaying Ran'er's kindness."
"The young lady is such a kind and magnanimous person, yet I was misled by villains and misunderstood the young lady and the young master. I am truly ashamed..." Aunt Meng said with a face full of regret.
"Ran'er! What's going on inside! Has the child really been saved? Ran'er!" At this moment, An Shihou's furious shouts came from outside. He was blocked by Ye Lingyue and could not enter the house, so he could only resort to this method.
Upon hearing An Shihou's voice, Aunt Meng's face, which had still had some color in it, immediately turned deathly pale.
Ye Pianran sensed something was amiss and asked, "Would Aunt Meng like to see Father?"
Aunt Meng's hand trembled slightly. She looked down at the child beside her pillow, handed him to Ye Pianran, then turned away and lay down, her voice trembling as she said:
"Please take this child to see the Marquis, Miss. If the Marquis asks about me... just say that I am tired and have already gone to bed."
Ye Pianran sighed softly, picked up the child, and turned to walk out the door.
Outside the courtyard, the cries of an infant gradually approached the door. Then, the door, which had been blocked by Ye Lingyue, opened inward, and Ye Pianran walked out of the house carrying a crying child.
Marquis Anshi could not contain his excitement and did not notice the red mole that had suddenly appeared between Ye Pianran's eyebrows. He rushed forward anxiously to check on the child in her arms. In the firelight, the lifeless face in her arms was tightly scrunched up and became lively with the crying.
Overwhelmed with joy at having the child back, An Shihou burst into tears. He couldn't wait to reach out and snatch the child from Ye Pianran's arms.
"My son, my son..."
Unexpectedly, Ye Pianran avoided his hand, took the child and retreated back into the house, saying, "My younger brother was born prematurely and is weak. He is really not suitable for being jostled. Now that Father knows that my younger brother is safe and sound, it is better to let him go back to Mother's side to recuperate as soon as possible."
His hands grasped at empty air, and Marquis Anshi's expression changed. He shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't Consort Meng die in childbirth?"
No wonder Aunt Meng reacted that way earlier; she had witnessed Marquis Anshi's cold-heartedness. Ye Pianran sneered inwardly and said:
"Really? Although I did see Aunt Meng faint from exhaustion when I came in, she has recovered her strength and is fine now after taking the ginseng pills I made myself."
"How is this possible!" Everyone was shocked.
