Chapter 191: Can I make money by gouging out these eyeballs?
"I'm going to the rest area to take a break," Bai Wei excused himself and left. In the corridor, he bumped into a patient's relative.
"Hey, watch where you're going, you blind..." shouted the guy with a buzz cut.
Bai Wei lifted his gaze, and as he parted his fingers, the crimson hue of his irises faded, leaving a golden hue in its place.
The golden irises seemed devoid of any emotion, and they stared at everyone as if they were gazing at a corpse, emanating an aura of ruthlessness.
The buzz-cut guy was intimidated by the chilling intensity hidden within this gaze. He instantly fell silent and shivered as he pressed himself against the wall, watching Bai Wei walk away.
Bai Wei walked up the stairs and arrived at the hospital courtyard, a quiet area designated for patients to take walks and rest.
He walked up to the sink, looked at his reflection in the water basin, and saw his features and the golden pupils.
【Fragments of Golden Power obtained】
【Unlocking a new skill tree】
【New skills acquired】
A series of notifications popped up, all because Bai Wei came into contact with a drop of his own residual blood marrow.
The mystery of the residual bloodline immediately turned into a seed and implanted itself firmly in his body's core without any resistance.
Indeed, it's the bloodline of an emperor. Golden Power, accustomed to its dominance, came into contact with its master's soul and directly kicked out the others.
It had been asleep for five hundred years, and no matter how others tried, they couldn't awaken it. Now, upon meeting Bai Wei, it immediately took the initiative to entangle with him, as if it wanted to merge right then and there.
... In fact, they had indeed become one.
It's just that its attitude is a little too fervent. Bai Wei couldn't withstand or control the uncontrollable golden gaze, which is a characteristic of excessive bloodline power.
This is not a good thing; it means Bai Wei currently cannot bear the power of Golden Power.
The best way to handle a gun that's easy to misfire is to leave it alone and not use it.
Perhaps it was too excited, like a dog seeing its master returning from a five-hundred-year business trip.
That burst of energy couldn't be settled down for a while.
Bai Wei sat quietly for over an hour before the golden hue in his eyes finally calmed down. When he opened his eyes, he noticed another person sitting beside him.
Doctor Kurosawa handed him a bottle of drink and asked, "Are you okay?"
"...I feel fine," Bai Wei said.
"Other individuals didn't have side effects as severe as yours," Kurosawa Yaka said with concern. "If you're really uncomfortable, you should let me know."
"Can you solve it?"
"I can arrange a bed for you, which would bring revenue to the hospital."
"...Next time for sure," Bai Wei shook his head. "It's just that I'm not used to it. Before, my eyes emitted a red light, as if I were going to transform into a werewolf. Now, my eyes emit golden light; I might be mistaken for a Dragon King. If I go out and someone accuses me of the Seven Deadly Sins and attacks me, you'd be responsible, huh?"
He covered his eyes and joked, "But now I'm fine... I wonder if I can make a lot of money by gouging out these eyeballs that emit golden light."
Kurosawa Yaka wanted to take a look at Bai Wei's eyes but was evaded by him.
"Is the raw material for your secret medicine not normal?" Bai Wei changed the subject.
"It's a business secret, can't be said," Doctor Kurosawa didn't give a direct answer and left confidently.
Bai Wei secretly pondered, the production material for Golden Tree Dew Drops required golden tree resin, and the resin needed to be collected from the heart of the golden tree.
Its source could only be that one golden tree of the tulip.
It was impossible to successfully transplant the golden tree. Moving it from south to north was impossible, let alone transplanting it to Yingzhou. It couldn't be done anywhere in Europa.
Because they lacked the qualifications to cultivate, only Bai Wei knew how to nurture and transplant the golden tree.
“Golden Tree Dew Drops can indeed cure the Scarlet Curse, although it's a temporary solution rather than a permanent one. But it can be mass-produced."
“Unfortunately, golden tree resin is rare. In the past, it was abundant, but not anymore. Rarity makes it valuable."
“If we could get a golden tree seed, we could plant a small one here in Yingzhou."
He pondered whether it was possible to obtain a golden tree seed from Europa for free.
The golden tree doesn't bloom or bear fruit. The seeds are actually branches that it periodically sheds.
Countless people must have attempted to cultivate the golden tree over the past five hundred years or tried to demystify it in order to transplant it elsewhere.
Because of the numerous benefits that the golden tree brings.
As a landmark of such significance, it not only looks good but also comes with various effects, providing practical benefits to the city such as "wealth +30%," "happiness +10%," "order +15%," "disaster -30%," "reduction of severe weather," and "greatly improved air quality."
The reason it's called the golden tree is because it's truly more precious than gold.
Unfortunately, transplanting is not possible.
Every emperor must choose a place to cultivate a golden tree, so there is one tree for each generation of emperors.
All other trees were cut down by Bai Wei, leaving only the one he planted, without burning it. It was a matter of cause and effect that it remained till five hundred years later.
Having rested enough, the golden contours in Bai Wei's eyes finally faded by ninety percent, becoming difficult to notice without careful observation.
He arrived at the ward, intending to take a glance at Sakurai Shiru before leaving, and then an unexpected encounter happened.
He hadn't planned on coming to the hospital today, so it happened to be a coincidence that he ran into two others who were here to visit.
Yun Wuxin, "......"
Bai Wei, "......"
Yun Wuxin, "Should I go, then?"
Xue Hanlei, "Hold on, watch this..." She took a step forward, raised her eyebrows, and said, "You!"
Bai Wei looked at Xue Hanlei and made a snorting sound, "Hmm."
"Hmm↗!"
"Hmm→."
"Hmm......"
"Hmm↘!"
With the "encrypted call" ending, Xue Hanlei said, "He backed off, no need to worry about him. He'll leave in a while. Let's go in and see Little Shiru."
Yun Wuxin, "?"
Sakurai Shiru, who could now get out of bed, was practicing her breathing exercises. When she heard the commotion, she looked over and her eyes lit up, "Big sister Yun, big sister Xue."
Then, when she saw Bai Wei, she blinked her eyes in surprise and exclaimed, "Uncle!"
Xue Hanlei went closer and said, "Little Shiru, today I brought you a lot of math papers. Are you happy?"
Sakurai Shiru revealed her neatly arranged teeth and said, "Happy~"
"Sweetie, I knew you would love this the most. I'll bring even more next time."
"Thank you, sister." Sakurai Shiru was delighted when she received the textbooks and exercise books, as if she was holding a sinful and wicked Sony game console in her hands.
"Good girl~ You have such a sweet mouth."
Bai Wei had an expressionless face. He felt that these conversations should not be occurring in this universe. If he were to bring the Huanggang exam papers to visit his hospitalized high school relative, he couldn't imagine what kind of extreme behavior the other party would exhibit.
Yun Wuxin asked curiously, "Why are we sisters and he is an uncle?"
Sakurai Shiru replied without hesitation, "Because he is an uncle."
Xue Hanlei asked, "Then does that mean we're being taken advantage of?"
Bai Wei said, "If you're not satisfied, you can also be called aunt, obasan, old cucumber painted green... Let's not talk about age."
Xue Hanlei angrily said, "Bai, don't leave after school."
Bai Wei raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"
She continued, "If you don't leave after school, then don't leave. I won't treat you to a meal!"
Bai Wei looked away, then touched Sakurai Shiru's hair again. "I should go back."
"So soon?"
"I have work to do, how else can I support this cutie without earning money?" Bai Wei ruffled Sakurai Shiru's hair, then picked up a few hair ties from his pocket and handed them to Yun Wuxin. "Remember to tie a little braid for her. Don't tell me that even immortals don't know how to do this."
Yun Wuxin took the hair tie and asked keenly, "Are you...?" She raised her index finger and pointed to her forehead. "Is there something wrong here?"
Xue Hanlei hesitated for a moment... Young Miss, is it appropriate for you to say directly that he has a problem in his head? Can this be said face-to-face?
Rather than reaching out to press down on her finger, Bai Wei withdrew and avoided it. He noticed that there was spiritual power gathering between them.
"I am well aware of my own matters."
"I have a calming talisman here."
"No need." Bai Wei turned to the side. "You don't owe me anything, and besides, you're not your sister."
Yun Wuxin watched the young man leave, while the immortal still had an expressionless face, but her fingertips quietly exerted force and clenched.
The two, one big and one small, looked at each other in the hospital room.
"Little one, don't learn that, okay?" Xue Hanlei said to Sakurai Shiru, "You'll become an annoying tsundere and regret it for a lifetime if you're deceived."
Sakurai Shiru blinked, "Little Shiru won't be a tsundere. I've always been straightforward!"
"Good girl." Xue Hanlei touched the girl's hair, her face full of grandmotherly kindness.
"So Little Shiru is very curious..." Sakurai Shiru asked directly, "Sister Yun is so beautiful, she must be good at dealing with boys. Can you teach Little Shiru? I also want to know what uncle is thinking."
