When Lin Yuan opened the shop, it was only a few minutes before 7am.
Right now, Lin Yuan was standing beside the flower rack and felt he was more tired than usual. This was the reason why he looked weak.
The feeling of being tired when he opened the shop every day was something Lin Yuan was already used to. However, he could feel a dizzy spell in the depths of his head, and it seemed to be intensifying.
“Meong, Yuan, go to the chair and sit down for a while. ”
The ash-black cat immediately started walking on Lin Yuan's pants and clothes before climbing onto his neck. The cat then trembled as it stood up and used the soft pads of its claws to gently massage Lin Yuan's head.
The Sound Bird also flew away anxiously as if asking why Lin Yuan looked weaker than usual.
Lin Yuan then forcefully refreshed himself before hugging the Hundred Questions Beast, Genius, in his arms. Her pretty fingers had very clear and distinct bone lines as they stroked the fur of the Hundred Questions Beast.
“Jenius, Chimey, you don't have to worry about me. I probably didn't sleep well yesterday. As Lin Yuan spoke, he began to ponder whether he had actually caught a cold again.
His finances for maintaining his family's shop were tight, and it was barely enough to fund his sister's school. During normal times, he would save his own food to save money.
The poor are most afraid of getting sick.
After a century since the Resurrection of Spirit Qi, all the previous terminal illnesses could now be cured easily. As long as one could find a spirit qi professional, who had contracted a high-grade type of healing, the treatment could be completed in one session.
However, the cost to hire a spirit qi professional with high-grade achievements would be more than three months of operating expenses for his shop.
Lin Yuan might say so, but Genius and Chimey's anxiety did not diminish at all. It was as if they were afraid of losing their most precious treasure.
To Genius and Chimey, they were two lesser pets that had been ignored and rejected, and Lin Yuan was their entire world.
It was exactly 7 a. m. , a frank and ingenious voice echoed in time at the entrance.
“Yuan Small, I've told you many times not to open the store too soon. You only need to open it after 8 a. m. so you can also take more breaks. ”
The one speaking was a middle-aged woman who had placed a wooden box on Lin Yuan's reception desk. He then looked at Lin Yuan with a gentle look before saying, “The same thing. Give me ten Usnea vines. ”
When Lin Yuan heard this somewhat excited and shrewd voice, his face immediately smiled warmly. Lin Yuan's face looked extremely friendly from afar as he had this warm smile, like a summer breeze.
“Aunt Zhang, I have told you many times that you should not bring me breakfast when you come to buy something!” As he spoke, Lin Yuan had already gone to harvest the Usnea Vines in a fast and efficient manner.
Usnea pots will grow about 13 or 14 vines, which is about 1. 5 Meters long, per day.
One part of the Usnea vine was exactly one meter long. Lin Yuan's scissors cut out ten vines, all of which were exactly 1. Length 5 meters. He then used a piece of cloth to wrap the tenth 1 tightly. The vines are 5 meters long.
Lin Yuan packed the Usnea vines that were growing well and fresh well.
As Auntie Zhang was watching how Lin Yuan was squatting and skillfully packing the Usnea vines, her eyes shone with compassion while feeling heartbroken.
As an old neighbor, Auntie Zhang had been watching because Lin Yuan had no choice but to become independent at the age of 12 to support this store for the sake of supporting herself and her younger sister. She could barely support her younger sister to study, and Auntie Zhang could no longer recall whether it was her sixth or seventh year.
“Aunt Zhang, if I was going to open my store at 8 am. m. , you wouldn't be able to buy fresh Usnea Vines like that, would you? ” He asked .
Auntie Zhang quickly pulled her emotional eyes and laughed as she said, “That's right. Why not learn from other stores? It's just Usnea, and you're still putting energy ores into it. How much can you earn with each Usnea vine? ”
Lin Yuan smiled and shook his head without saying anything as he listened to Auntie Zhang's suggestion. At that moment, Lin Yuan was doing his best to shore up his body because the dizzy spell that plagued his mind was so powerful that he felt he might faint at any moment.
Auntie Zhang understood that this young man had his own principles. Be it the opening of the store at exactly 7 a. m. every day or how he stubbornly insisted on putting the ore of energy in the land of Usneas.
While feeling heartbroken, Auntie Zhang still felt a vague admiration for the child she had all this time seen growing up. It felt like how a senior watched a junior grow into a responsible person.
Auntie Zhang left the 75 dollar Federation before turning around and walking to the entrance. He said before leaving, “Yuan Small, Uncle Li You specially made flattened sesame bread and green bean milk for you. If you want Uncle Li to be sad, don't eat him. ”
When Lin Yuan saw the additional 25 Federation dollars on the table, he took the money and was about to call Auntie Zhang. Suddenly, his dizziness grew, and his eyes became blurred before he fainted.
When Auntie Zhang left, she felt somewhat pleased. Whenever he wanted to give a little extra money to Yuan, he would never accept it. This time, since he had left quite quickly, Little Yuan would probably accept it.
However, while he was at the entrance of the shop, he heard a clattering sound as if something had fallen to the ground. Just before the clanking sound echoed, the Sound Bird and the Hundred Questions Beast let out an anxious cry.
Auntie Zhang quickly turned around and noticed that Lin Yuan had fainted on the ground with 25 dollars in his hand. His eyes closed silently, and his face looked calm, as if he was sleeping.
Auntie Zhang rushed over anxiously to help Lin Yuan.
A moment before Lin Yuan closed his eyes and fainted, his ears could faintly hear the anxious cries of Genius, Chimey, and Auntie Zhang. Immediately after, his consciousness became murky.
In this murky state, it felt like a swamp would trap one's legs, making it difficult to move. It's still thick and deadly.
After fainting, Lin Yuan gradually woke up in a strange environment. His mind flashed with the faces of his younger sisters, Genius, and Chimey.
These three individuals were his closest relatives and his greatest concern. If she dies, she has no idea how heartbroken her younger sister will be, or if anyone will look after Chimey and Genius.
Luckily he had saved up enough to pay for his sister's school fees for next year.
Lin Yuan's consciousness began to walk in this chaotic place. It is not known how long he has been walking. Suddenly, at the end of that chaotic place, Lin Yuan saw something that he was very familiar with.
It was a simple and unadorned copper-colored bracelet.
This bracelet had been Lin Yuan's secret all along. In fact, this life was actually Lin Yuan's second life.
His previous life was very excited, and he was at his peak. Unfortunately, he died early at the age of 30. After opening his eyes, he was a newborn one century after Spirit Qi Awakening. When he was reborn, this copper bracelet had accompanied him.
Since then, he has worn this bracelet on his wrist. However, when he was eight years old, it was accidentally smeared by his own blood and disappeared mysteriously.
He would never have expected to find a copper-colored bracelet in the depths of this place. That copper bracelet was currently flashing with a dim light. It caused the depth of his consciousness to be filled with tea-like ripples with a jade luster.
This bracelet was like a door waiting for Lin Yuan's consciousness to step past it.
