Chapter 285: Not Much. Just 1500 Merit Points

[Host, do you want to buy refreshing agents? I told you if you buy them in bulk I’ll give you a special discount, but you didn’t listen to me.]

The system, which had gone to the little black room early in the morning, had no clue that it was exactly this refreshing agent that had caused Xion this much trouble.

The moment those words rang in Xion’s ears, he didn’t even change his expression. With a casual flick of his wrist, he tapped on the system panel and simply hurled the eager system into the roller coaster.

He had bought the virtual amusement park for the system when they upgraded to VIP status, only for the system to get scared of the roller coaster.

This was the perfect time to get rid of that fear. Wasn’t there a phrase? Fighting poison with poison? Yup, that one.

Xion was just testing it out in virtual mode, scribbling on the notes expressionlessly as he heard the loud screams of the system.

He only stopped once the system began shedding code like snowflakes.

[Host, you have changed! You aren’t that sweet person I’ve signed with!]

That evoked a smile on his face. With the last line inked on the parchment, the formula of the antidote was in full view.

He thought of giving it to Allen, so he could make it in bulk and send it to distant lands, but then he paused.

The North’s situation wasn’t like that of other zones. With the royals pushing and pulling, if he gave the medicine irrationally, it might cause more harm than good.

So, in the end, he decided to wait for Darius and throw the responsibility to the archduke.

[Host...] The system hesitated for a while before saying, [I have got a new refreshing agent-]

"Keep talking and those will be your last words."

[No, listen to me! This new refreshing agent helps you gain energy and relieves all the soreness, and any ache but leaves your other body just as it is. Want to try?]

Xion, with all the pride of a soggy napkin, was ashamed to admit that he was tempted. Again.

Pulling the dark blue woolen scarf over his face until only his eyes were revealed, he hummed in agreement.

Because he really needed the strength to move. After Darius left, he had been sprawled on the soft cushions since then.

He’d only moved his hands to pick up some papers before slumping back onto the bed again.

[Good choice, my dear host!]

The aggrieved voice of the system was instantly filled with flattery. [How about buying them in bulk? If you buy ten, I’ll give you a twenty percent discount~]

With burning ears, Xion asked in a muffled voice, "How much does it cost?"

[Not much. Just 1500 merit points.]

Well, having ten for 1500 merit points wasn’t a loss so, he agreed only to get a shock of his life later.

[Congratulations to the host for spending 15000 merit points on buying refreshing agents! After a discount of 20% 300 merit points will be added back to your system wallet. Happy shopping~]

After announcing it, the system vanished.

Xion, "..."

People get poor by spending on lavish life or food. He might be the only one who was getting poor because of sex!

But Xion had to admit that the results were quite satisfactory. He felt his body was full of strength and for a moment he thought that he could even take on a bull by himself.

Before he continued to jump around, the door of the room was knocked.

The Archduke had returned.

Xion waved at the great lord with a hippy smile before trotting over. After throwing himself at Darius, he hinted with his eyes toward the bedside table where the parchment was placed.

"I wrote down the formula and ingredients for the antidote, but even if we use all the roots I’ve collected, it won’t be enough to treat everyone."

Darius had already picked Xion up like a child, pampering him with soft kisses over his forehead, and cheeks.

"Do you want to grow the Gift of Light?"

That was what the locals called Micosera Glacialis. Xion nodded, allowing himself to be carried to the big sofa.

Instead of putting him down, Darius simply held him in his arms as they talked about the future plan.

Well, it was more like Xion telling him the conditions of growing the Gift of Light and Darius agreeing with everything without any question.

That was until Xion mentioned visiting the temple where the saintess was staying.

"No, Xion. We can’t go there."

Xion tilted his head, confusion evident in his eyes, "Why?"

I have to go there. If he didn’t visit that place, how was he supposed to find the mutants of Micosera Glacialis?

It wasn’t like he could directly tell Darius that, ’Hey, in that old church some people are growing corrupted plants.’

He himself wouldn’t believe it.

"It’s not safe to go there. I’ll take you after everything is settled down, yeah?"

"When?" Xion asked.

Much to his disappointment, Darius said, "I’ll take you after the antidote is distributed to the civilians. How about it?"

That would be very late! Just as Xion was thinking about how to convince Darius to let him go, a static noise rang in his ears.

The dormant system suddenly perked its non-existent ears, then with obvious schadenfreude, it whispered in Xion’s ears.

[Host, why don’t you try acting like a coquettish lover, or maybe a spoiled child?]

Before Xion could scold it, the system vanished once again.

However, those words kept circling in his mind as Darius combed his messed-up hair with his fingers.

Forget it, Xion mused. It was just acting like a coy person, and it wasn’t like he hadn’t done that with Darius before.

Although at that time it was Rael who was his target and after his pitiful act, the boy had finally agreed to let him stay.

Now that he thought about it, wasn’t it Darius all along? This elf must have seen through him at first glance and yet he allowed him. He must have looked like a fool!

So... it was time to make a fool of himself again. As for dignity, can it be used to cure others?
