Chapter 21: Monthly Income and Expenditure!
Several maids in the yard, including the female officer, became busy. For a brief moment, Su Li was surprised to find that no one was staring at him. A smile appeared on Su Lis face. He realized that, despite the initial guardedness, the Princesss household seemed to have outwardly developed a level of respect for him.
However, Su Li knew that it was impossible for them to suddenly accept him, a consort and a male master who came out of nowhere and especially considering his peasant background. So, even as he took care of Princess Changle, he remained cautious. Su Li knew that it takes time to truly understand peoples intentions.
In truth, Su Li was not as considerate and gentle as the female officer believed. His decision to neglect personal grooming was merely a strategy to earn more points, but he genuinely cared for Princess Changle as they were married. Why would anyone have any reluctance in taking care of their own wife?
Moreover, Su Li maintained optimism, knowing that Princess Changle had the potential to wake up.
Although there was no miraculous cure for Princess Changles awakening in the past month, some affordable medicines for improving her physical condition were obtained. These medicines, ranging in price from 3,000 to 5,000, appeared six times. They included life potions and energy-invigorating herbs, which aimed to stabilize her body, nourish her energy and blood, and enhance her vitality. However, these remedies only addressed the physical aspect, not her consciousness. As a result, Princess Changle remained unconscious. Interestingly, the inherited asthma disease afflicting Changle was unexpectedly cured
Su Li had acquired medical knowledge and was proficient in basic pulse diagnosis and monitoring Princess Changles physical condition. Each day, upon waking up, he would check her pulse, assess her health, and provide targeted dietary supplements based on her pulse condition. Additionally, he would prepare life potions and energy-replenishing herbs, ensuring they were promptly given to Princess Changle.
The products generated by the system were of exceptional quality. From Su Lis professional perspective, they were effective medicines without any side effects. They could cure disorders and strengthen the body when necessary. Princess Changle was in a vegetative state, but her bodily functions remained normal. These medicines only affected the body and had no impact on her mental state.
Princess Changle suffered from congenital asthma, a chronic condition. While products like the 2000-point inferior life potion couldnt cure the condition completely, they could improve her situation. Although, the large quantity required was challenging.
Over the course of a month, Su Li purchased all the medicines beneficial to the body. Although they were not miraculous cures, each had a base value of 2,000 points, and he bought them six times in total, providing Princess Changle with system medicine worth nearly 20,000 points. Surprisingly, one day when Su Li checked Princess Changles pulse, he discovered that her asthma disease had recovered.This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.
Princess Changles physical condition had significantly improved, and she appeared healthier and more vibrant than ever before. However, her consciousness remained temporarily dormant, and she couldnt be awakened.
[Product 1: Infinity Gloves (Snap your fingers to destroy the world. Of course, the premise is that you can do it.) Value: 18888w points.
Su Li had initial concerns that the product would only offer basic distillation and purification instructions. Yet, he understood that it went beyond the principles and encompassed the entire industrial chain. Su Li understood that while the principles were known, the toolset required for distillation, purification, and building a blast furnace for steelmaking were rare and critical components of the industrial process.
Once the industry became involved, if a related product had an issue, it could affect the entire product. This was also the most challenging step in translating knowledge into results.
Su Li noticed an intriguing hint in the product description. The introduction read:
[Salt-making technique: a complete guide to salt-making in the manual era, teaching you to build a large-scale salt-making industrial environment from the most primitive conditions.]
As expected, after purchasing the product, it turned out to be more than just a simple guide on refining salt. To put it precisely, it provided a comprehensive strategy for mass-producing refined salt in ancient environments. It included all related aspects, even covering the distribution of inland salt mines.
The same applied to the steelmaking method, which was worth 400,000 yuan. It not only explained the principles of steelmaking but also provided guidance on constructing a blast furnace in existing environments, producing coal coke, removing sulfur, and even included information on the distribution of coal and iron mines.
In simple terms, it was like having the solution handed to him on a silver platter. After making the purchase, Su Li only needed to invest a certain amount of financial and material resources. The technology tree provided a shortcut. These two products cost 500,000 points, and while they might not be immediately useful, they were undoubtedly worth the investment.
Secondly, he also bought 18 small gift packs of attribute points. This kind of high-quality and cheap product could only be said to be as good as possible, and it cost another 180,000 points. In addition, the cost of purchasing medicine for Princess Changle ranged from 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. After that, Su Li also bought various inexpensive sundries such as cola, toilet paper, pepper, and other seasonings. These items were classified as sundries by the system due to their low cost. Su Li bought a significant quantity, almost enough to open a restaurant, which consumed approximately a thousand points.
Therefore, Su Li only managed to save 190,000 points. This was mainly because the system malls product refresh was random, with some items being unaffordable and causing him to be greedy. Sometimes, five products turned out to be useless, such as toilet paper, cola, soy sauce, and old soy sauce.
If it werent for these factors, Su Li might not have been able to save any points. Apart from that, if he were to purchase as many attribute point gift packs as he desired, Su Li would definitely not be able to save any points.
