Chapter 23 Magical Lingzhi [Ding! You have a new mission! ] Cheng Ming has been at home these days, making pills whenever he has time, and spending almost all of his free time on making medicine. Finally received a new task today. [Task (II): Tomorrow at 5 pm, someone will be selling red-veined Ganoderma lucidum at the Feishui Market in Baiyun Town, kilometers away. Please buy the red-veined Ganoderma lucidum. You will be rewarded with task points.] [Description: Red-veined Ganoderma lucidum is an extremely rare special medicinal material, and is one of the important medicinal materials for refining certain medicines.] Cheng Ming was puzzled when he saw the content of the task. Red-veined Ganoderma lucidum? What kind of medicinal herb is this? I don't think I've heard of it. It doesn't mention what materials are used to refine the medicine, so why keep the system a secret?
"Um, Baiyun Town, one hundred kilometers." "Let's go pick up the car first." In the ten-draw series a few days ago, Cheng Ming won a Maybach, but he hasn’t picked it up yet. He checked the cars temporarily stored in the system. [The vehicle has been delivered to the Hayes Luxury Car Store at No. 48 Nanwu Road. Please bring your ID and pick up the car as soon as possible. ] As expected, it was the Hayes headquarters again. Is the system arguing with the ex-girlfriend? Cheng Ming had no choice but to take a taxi to the Hayes luxury car headquarters. Once inside. Bai Ruolan saw him. "Why are you here again? Are you here to show off again?" Bai Ruolan smiled contemptuously, "You're not going to say that you want to pick up the Maybach that just arrived in our store a few days ago?" Cheng Ming: Is this woman sick? He ignored Bai Ruolan and turned and left like last time. But this made Bai Ruolan feel that she must have hit upon his purpose, which was why she had nothing to say. Cheng Ming, Cheng Ming, you must be very embarrassed when your pretense is exposed, right? Bai Ruolan felt that Cheng Ming must be feeling extremely embarrassed at this moment. But she still didn't intend to let him go easily, and chased him and taunted him: "Last time, you picked up that A8 for someone else, right? Why are you pretending? Don't you feel embarrassed that I saw through you?" In Bai Ruolan's view, Cheng Ming was just a clown at this moment. There is probably nothing more embarrassing in the world than trying to show off in front of your ex-girlfriend and getting caught. Cheng Ming still ignored her.
He went straight to the saleswoman who had helped him with the paperwork last time and handed her the documents. "Help me get a car." "Ok." The female salesperson picked up the document and began to check it. Bai Ruolan laughed angrily: "Cheng Ming, are you now a full-time helper picking up cars for others?" "What does it have to do with you?" Cheng Ming couldn't help but ask. "Haha, no, you're just being too awkward in pretending." At this time. When the saleswoman saw the ID, she exclaimed, "Mr. Cheng, is that the Maybach you picked up this time?" Cheng Ming nodded. The female salesperson was shocked to see Cheng Ming's fiery eyes. Last time he bought an A8 worth three million, and this time he bought a Maybach worth three million. What kind of family background does Mr. Cheng have? Why does he keep buying luxury cars one after another? Bai Ruolan was also very surprised. She was right. Was Cheng Ming really here to mention Maybach? She secretly glanced at the document in her colleague's hand and found that the name of the car owner was clearly written on it: Cheng Ming. The owner of the car turned out to be Cheng Ming himself? Aren’t you picking up the car for someone else? Bai Ruolan stood there in a daze, her mouth slightly open. The next moment, her face turned red. She thought she could slap Cheng Ming in the face today, but she didn't expect to be slapped in the face by someone else! Bai Ruolan was confused. She remained there in a daze until Cheng Ming finished his work and drove away in his majestic Maybach. She once again felt her colleagues looking at her like a fool. the next morning. Cheng Ming drove the Maybach out of Haicheng. Baiyun Town is located between Baicheng and Haicheng, about 100 kilometers away from Cheng Ming's home, but fortunately there is a highway. After a two-hour drive, Cheng Ming arrived at the small town. Although Baiyun Town is not far from Haicheng, it is not developed and is just an ordinary small town. It didn't take Cheng Ming long to find the Feishui market. At this time, there were still two hours until 3 . as described in the mission. Cheng Ming was not in a hurry. He had a meal at a fast food restaurant near the market and then sat there waiting. Finally it was almost three o'clock. The man selling Ganoderma lucidum appeared.
A little boy about ten years old was holding a basket in the open space at the entrance of the market. He looked around to make sure that this place would not hinder the flow of people, then squatted down and opened the snakeskin bag covering the basket. In the basket was a Lingzhi the size of a dinner plate! The heart of an ordinary Ganoderma lucidum fan is dark gray, with a little red on the edges. But this Ganoderma lucidum is very special. The core is black, but from the inside to the outside it has circles of black and red, like the growth rings of a tree. A little boy selling Ganoderma lucidum was a new thing these days and soon attracted the attention of the people around him. Onlookers gathered around him in twos and threes. "Little boy, how much do you want for this Ganoderma lucidum?" someone in the crowd asked. The little boy looked very thin, and his clothes were very torn. One could tell at a glance that his family was not well off and he was not very courageous. He replied in a low voice: "I don't know how much it costs, do you want to buy it?" "I'm not buying, I'm just asking." The man said angrily. Seeing that he didn't buy it, the little boy stopped talking. At this time, a young man squeezed through the crowd and came to the little boy. He squatted down and asked, "Little boy, where did you get this Ganoderma lucidum?" "I picked them from the mountains behind our village." the little boy said weakly. "How much do you plan to sell it for?" "I don't know how much you are willing to pay." Hearing this, the young man smiled. "Little boy, you won't get a good price like this." The young man was naturally Cheng Ming. When he saw the little boy taking out the Ganoderma lucidum from the basket, he knew that he was the person selling Ganoderma lucidum as mentioned in the task prompt. But I didn’t expect it was a little boy, and it seemed that there was no adult accompanying him. So Cheng Ming chatted with the little boy for a while longer. "Why are you selling Ganoderma lucidum by yourself? Where is your parents?" "My grandma is sick and I want to sell some to earn some money to pay for her medical treatment," said the boy. "How much does it cost for your grandma's medical treatment?" "The doctor said it would cost eight thousand dollars." Eight thousand. Not much. "So, you plan to sell this Ganoderma lucidum for 8,000 yuan?" Cheng Ming asked. The little boy nodded. The onlookers exclaimed. "Eight thousand is a bit expensive."
"How can Lingzhi be so valuable?" "It's much cheaper at the drugstore." "Little boy, this is not easy to sell." "But this Ganoderma lucidum looks quite special. Maybe it's a rare species?" "Ganoderma lucidum is not valuable to begin with. No matter how rare it is, it is not worth eight thousand!" Regardless of the comments of the onlookers there, Cheng Ming said: "Little boy, is your grandma also in town?" The boy nodded: "In the health center." "Okay, then you sell the Ganoderma lucidum to me, take me to the health center, and I will pay for your grandma's medical expenses." Cheng Ming said. Seeing Cheng Ming planning to buy the Ganoderma lucidum, someone nearby advised: "Young man, this Ganoderma lucidum is really not worth so much money." At this time, a middle-aged man wearing glasses said to Cheng Ming, "My friend, Lingzhi is really not worth so much money. Although Lingzhi is famous, its medicinal value is actually not high. If you want to buy a tonic, you might as well buy some wild ginseng." Seeing so many people saying this, the boy slowly lowered his head. Cheng Ming said to the people around him: "Thank you, everyone. This Ganoderma lucidum may not be valuable to others, but I just need it. Let alone eight thousand, I will buy it even if it is eighty thousand." Hearing this, everyone nodded. Someone whispered, "I don't think this guy needs Lingzhi, he just wants to help the child." The boy took Cheng Ming and walked to the other side of the town. On the way, the little boy hesitated for a long time and asked: "Big brother, is this Ganoderma lucidum really not worth so much money? If so, the price can be a little lower." Cheng Ming smiled and patted his head. The little boy obviously heard what those people said just now and thought that Cheng Ming really felt sorry for him. But the red-veined Ganoderma lucidum is his mission item, let alone eight thousand, he would buy it even eight hundred thousand! "Your Ganoderma is different from ordinary Ganoderma. I really need it, otherwise I wouldn't buy it." The little boy felt relieved after hearing Cheng Ming say this. Cheng Ming followed him to the health center and asked the doctor, and found out that the little boy's grandmother was indeed in the hospital. I have already spent 8,000 yuan on medical expenses, and I may need a lot more in the future. Without saying a word, Cheng Ming directly transferred 50,000 yuan into her grandmother's account before leaving Baiyun Town. He didn't return to his residence until seven in the evening. After parking the car downstairs, Cheng Ming walked upstairs. But he met a person downstairs. This person seemed to have been waiting for Cheng Ming. Seeing this person, Cheng Ming's expression gradually turned cold. "Are you alright?"
