Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Psychomindris

When Gu Jin knew about this matter, her first reaction was to be on guard against Liang Bao. That was until...she one day saw Liang Bao curled up in her bed, crying as she hugged a photo and called,

"Mom, Dad, don’t worry, one day I will..."

Gu Jin couldn’t hear the next words, since she was far away. But she understood one thing. Liang Bao was not an orphan.

She was just hiding her true identity for the time being.

From that day, Gu Jin spied on her friend. She didn’t want to be betrayed in the end.

But as time passed, Gu Jin realized that her judgment was wrong. Liang Bao was indeed hiding something from them, but she remained on their side all the time.

She never betrayed them.

Gu Jin gradually understood one thing. Linag Bao was just like her.

Someone with secrets...but means no harm to others.

She knows that the reason why her bestie was going to Country R was to investigate her parents.

So...

"If you need any help in the future, don’t hesitate to contact me." Gu Jin said calmly.

Liang Bao’s eyes shifted to Gu Jin.

She knew that Gu Jin had guessed that something was wrong with her(Liang Bao) by now.

But she still chooses to quietly support her.

To say she was touched would be an understatement.

After that incident, the only good thing that had happened to her was, Gu Jin and Lu Siyao.

Taking a deep breath, she nodded,

"Understood."

With a serious look, she said,

"If someday, I make a big name for myself, I will support you both."

Gu Jin and Lu Siyao chuckled.

"Sure. We would wait for it."

"Hehe! Sure!"

After chatting for a bit, Lu Siyao pulled them to one of the private rooms and ordered some food.

Once the order arrived, Lu Siyao calmly strolled around the room nd after ensuring that there was no camera or sound magic, she created a barrier around the three of them.

"Yao?" Liang Bao was confused by Lu Siyao’s action.

Lu Siyao leaned on the sofa and said with a relaxed expression,

"Finally! It is just three of us!"

"Speak." Gu Jin calmly sipped the tea after throwing one word.

Liang Bao’s brows furrowed. She was about to ask Gu JIn what she meant when Lu Siyao started to speak.

"Jin’er you are so mean! At least give me some time to relax!"

Gu Jin continued to sip her tea as if she didn’t hear Lu Siyao’s rant.

Lu Siyao sighed and said,

"I will deal with you later."

"Yao’er? What is going on ?" Liang Bao couldn’t control her curiosity and asked.

"Sh! I am telling you okay? So recently a rumor has been passed in the military. There is a rumor. In mistwood, a treasure is about to appear. It’s said to be an ancient relic that can significantly enhance one’s mana."

Gu Jin’s eyes narrowed slightly, though she continued to sip her tea.

"And how credible is this rumor?"

An ancient relic that could enhance was indeed tempting.

Lu Siyao shrugged.

"As credible as any rumor can be. But the fact that it’s being whispered about in the military makes me think there’s some truth to it. The higher-ups are already planning an expedition to secure it."

Liang Bao frowned,

"So you are suggesting that we should venture into mistwood and find the relic?"

Before Lu Siyao could answer, Liang Bao frowned,

"But even if we set out before the military, there are very less chances of us getting the relic."

Even if they obtain, the relic, the military would somehow know it.

Once the military knows then they could forget about the relic.

Worst come worst, they would have to hand over the relic without getting any benefits. And the best scenario would be...getting 10,000 yuan as compensation.

Lu Siyao leaned forward, her expression serious.

"I understand your concern, Bao. But here’s the thing: we don’t necessarily have to compete directly with the military."

"How so?"

"Because the thing which we are going to look for is not a relic. Other than the relic, a strange phenomenon is taking place.

All the beasts are running from mistwood towards Feywood. The experts suspect that some legendary beasts are going to appear in Feywood.

Not only that...I have heard that for some strange reason, Psychomindris is growing in Feywood."

"What? Psychomindris?" Liang Bao was stunned when she heard about Psychomindris.

Psychomindris was a plant that if eaten could increase the mental strength of a person. It could also increase the cultivation of the psychic type mage.

Not only that, but Psychomindris can also increase the potential of a psychic image, it can also help to break through quickly.

All in all, Psychomindris was a rare and valuable plant very beneficial to psychic mages.

It just happened that Liang Bao’s primary element was psychic.

The psychic element was one of the most powerful elements among all the elements. The only disadvantage the element has is, that cultivating it could be too time-consuming.

A normal mage would only require half a year to go from primary rank tier-1 to primary rank tier-2.

But in the case of a psychic mage, the duration is one year!

This was the reason why Liang Bao was stuck at the Intermediate Rank of Psychic element for so long.

If she could get her hand on Psychomindris it could drastically speed up her cultivation. Liang Bao’s eyes sparkled.

However soon her eyes dimmed,

"Even then...the military would know."

Lu Siyao rolled her eyes.

"What are you worrying about? Don’t we have a genius herbalist with us?"

Gu Jin nodded.

Growing an herb is very easy for her now. As long she plants the herb in her space and injects her plant energy into the soil, the herb will grow.

Not to mention, once she gets her hand on Psychomindris, and becomes successful in growing them, won’t she will have a share?

After all, her space has advanced so much! She just has to put in half of the effort and get twice the result.

Liang Bao had no doubt in Gu Jin’s capabilities and she even heaved a sigh of relief.

But...

She frowned,

"But I can’t take advantage of Gu Jin. How about this? I will try to pay 100,000 per plant. What happened Ms. Liang? We should be professional while dealing with business matters."

The market price of Psychomindris was 80,000 yuan per plant. But the problem was...due to how rare it was, no one could buy it for 80,000 yuan.

Even if a person has money, he or she might not be able to buy the plant.

To buy Psychomindris, a person also needs connection!

So a round-off will result in the Psychomindris being sold for 100,000 yuan per plant.

Even though it would be very difficult for her to gather 100,000 yuan every month, she could work extra time and take some risky jobs in Country R, then she would definitely be able to pay off 100,000 yuan per month!

Thinking so Liang Bao’s mood lightened.

How could Gu Jin not understand Liang Bao’s worries? But she didn’t rush to solve it, instead, she took out a pen and paper and passed it to Lu Siyao,

"Do some calculation for me."

"Sure." Lu Siyao said and held the pen and paper.

"Saving life two times - 1 billion.

Taking care of food from breakfast to dinner for the past 3 years - 1 billion.

Oh right! Add accompanying during periods and acting like a half-boyfriend - 1 billion.

Include taking a stand for me even when I didn’t know - 1 billion...." Gu Jin’s words were interrupted by Liang Bao.

"GU JIN." Liang Bao shouted.

Her eyes were a little red.

How could she not understand that Gu Jin was about talking about her?

"What happened Ms. Liang? We should be professional while dealing with business matters, right?"

Lu Siyao: "..." Critical Hit!

Liang Bao: "..." I truly feel choked.

Gu Jin chuckled when she saw Liang Bao’s wilted face and softly,

"Bao’er, for the past 3 years, you and Lu Siyao have accompanied me all the time. I see you as my family and I never mistreat my family."

The past 3 years weren’t as smooth as they seem. Sometimes Gu Jin almost lost her life. In those times, Liang Bao and Lu Siyao risked their own lives and tried to save her.

There were admirers but there were enemies too. In the past 3 years, whenever anyone tried to spread rumors about her, these two rushed up to protect her.

Not to mention, whenever she remembered about that person named Long, they would accompany her.

Though not as strong as her, they could considered genius if she was out of the equation. However, they did not ask for any resources once.

They would grit their teeth and work hard to earn it on their own, even if they had a rich friend.
