Chapter 62: Earning Dark Reputation
Inside the medical room on the third floor of the Sun Church's Grand Cathedral.
"Can you feel this?"
Su Xiao held a crystalline needle nearly 20 centimeters long and pricked it into the arm of a bald, burly man. The bald man shook his head.
"And now?"
Su Xiao pierced the needle through the man's palm. The burly man, named Hekeli, winced, then showed a delighted expression as he nodded.
"Your arm can still be saved. This is a type of spore that has been numbing the nerve signals in your arm for years..."
Su Xiao picked up a reagent bottle. Without any complex mixing, he simply combined a few ingredients, sealed the potion, and placed it on the table in front of the burly man, Hekeli.
Hekeli made a few hand gestures; he couldn't speak. Su Xiao waved his hand, signaling the next patient.
The reason for this scene was that Su Xiao had come to the first floor of the Grand Cathedral to find Kaisa. But that guy Kaisa had disappeared to who knows where. With nothing else to do, Su Xiao wandered around the cathedral. When he got near the medical rooms on the third floor, he noticed a long line of believers.
There were four medical rooms in total, but only one was packed, with the queue stretching all the way down to the stairs on the first floor. After asking around, Su Xiao learned that a certain alchemist regularly came here to prepare customized potions for the believers or to treat injuries and illnesses.
Upon hearing this, Su Xiao, having nothing better to do, decided to join in. As an alchemist capable of creating alchemical lifeforms, he was no slouch when it came to treating injuries and diseases. This was a good opportunity. The more believers he helped, the harder it would be for the church's higher-ups to deal with him.
The burly man, Hekeli, repeatedly expressed his thanks with hand gestures before leaving the medical room. Su Xiao checked the time; it was already past one in the morning. Only one patient remained in line.
After more than ten minutes, the last patient also left. Su Xiao lit a cigarette, stepped out of the medical room, and headed downstairs. Soon, he arrived at the supply station on the first floor.
He pushed open the door. Kaisa was sitting behind the counter, rubbing something in his hands. Seeing Su Xiao arrive, he quickly stuffed whatever he was holding into his pocket and pretended nothing had happened. Clearly, that bastard Kaisa had gotten his hands on some more benefits.
"My dear friend, what brings you here this time?"
"I want to exchange for the Explosive Brand Imprint."
Hearing Su Xiao's words, Kaisa immediately jumped down from his high stool, crawled out from behind the counter, and trotted over to close the door tightly, even locking it with several bolts. In reality, this was unnecessary. With Bubu Wang and Baha around, few could sneak nearby.
Earlier, before leaving, Kaisa had sold some more Sun Potions. Su Xiao's reputation had already reached 1.11 million points. It was time to use a special trick to farm reputation.
Su Xiao activated the reputation shop, and a list of items appeared before him. His gaze focused on the most expensive item.
