Chapter 25: Scolding Skill
As evening fell, Chen Li was having his dinner.
Lin Gui came over with a swollen nose and bruises on his face. Without feeling out of place, he sat down huffily next to Chen and said, "Today, I really owe Chen a big one. Ah, what a bunch of shrews, all they want is to extort money. Why is it so hard for me to make a little money?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Li was speechless and continued eating without paying him any mind.
Lin Gui kept grumbling, "At the age of twenty, I stumbled upon a secret Alchemy method by chance and started trying to practice Alchemy. I've been at it for over thirty years without a single day of slack, yet here I am, still living in poverty. I've come to realize, the world is full of malice, simply can't stand to see others do well!"
Chen Li could see that Lin Gui's mind might have been affected from consuming too many Ascension Elixirs, his emotions were sensitive, erratic, his thoughts significantly different from ordinary people.
"How much money did you lose?" Chen Li couldn't help but ask.
Lin Gui was better off not being asked, for upon the question, he suddenly became overwhelmed with sorrow and tears began to spill from his eyes in self-pity.
"Not only did I refund them, but I also... also compensated a hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones each. If I didn't give money, they were going to hit me, those damn women, wuuu..."
He really must be wealthy!
To hand out four Mid-grade Spirit Stones just like that.
And that's not even including the refunds.
