Chapter 19 [Get Rich, Get Rich, Get Rich!]
Seeing that she was studying diligently, Chu Xuange expanded on her knowledge by introducing some more points.
"I'll demonstrate it for you, and then you come over and I'll guide you."
Under his guidance, Pei Hening ruined two batches of basic fatigue-relieving medicine.
Chu Xuange placed the two potions she had failed to brew on the table: "Take a close look at the differences between these two potions."
The basic fatigue reliever is blue, has a faint grassy smell, and is a very fluid liquid.
But the two pots she cooked turned out differently: one was black, and the other was green.
The black stuff had a burnt smell, like burnt sage.
The green liquid smells like rotting plants and is thick.
Chu Xuange picked up the black bottle, shook it, and smelled it: "This bottle has been simmered for too long. The timing wasn't right, and it wasn't stirred evenly, so the ingredients didn't work properly."
"This bottle... has too many ingredients."

Pei Hening took Chu Xuange's arm and walked towards the parking lot.
From afar, I saw a tall, handsome man standing in a corner, smoking listlessly. Despite wearing a well-tailored suit, he exuded a wild and untamed charm.
Pei Hening tugged at his sleeve and asked in confusion, "That person is... Helian Ye?"
Chu Xuange's eyes darkened: "It's him."
He and Helian Ye were childhood friends and had a very good relationship.
In Chu Xuange's memory, the last time he met Helian Ye was in the fourth year of his previous life's journey to survival on the highway.
Helian Ye obtained an S-class tracking item by chance, but after the information was leaked, he was targeted by a sniper.
Every day, people keep trying to locate him, wanting to kill him and steal his treasure.
He could only catch his breath briefly at night; the rest of the time he was constantly on the run, and without replenishment of supplies, he was about to be worn down to death.
Chu Xuange happened to locate his enemy and deliberately switched areas to kill him.
He encountered a fight as soon as he arrived, which also affected him. After killing those people, he saw Helian Ye lying on the ground, barely breathing.
He rescued the person, and the two chatted for a while.
Helian Ye suggested teaming up with him. After learning of Pei Hening's death, he remained silent for a long time before giving him an S-class tracking item.
[Death Notebook] (s)
I've got your name in mind, you just wait! Write the other person's name to automatically locate them. Within one month, their luck will decrease by 5. Killing them will permanently increase your luck by 1; failing to kill them will permanently decrease your luck by 1.
Chu Xuange gently patted her hand: "Go say hello?"
"Um."
When he sensed someone approaching, Helian Ye irritably stubbed out his cigarette, his brow furrowed.
After recognizing who was approaching, their eyes widened as they stared at the two of them as if they had seen a ghost: "Xuan Ge, He Ning?"
Chu Xuange looked him up and down and said, "What happened to you, you look like this?"
Helian Ye opened his mouth, unsure how to begin.
Chu Xuange put his arm around Pei Hening's waist, rested his head on the top of her head, and smelled the rich floral fragrance. His expression was relaxed, as if he had been enjoying the fragrance: "Speak your mind."
"I want to switch regions, is there any way to do that?"
Pei Hening tugged at his finger, urging him to speak.
"I have a way. Let's add each other as friends first, and I'll tell you in a bit."
Helian Ye breathed a sigh of relief, added them as friends, and realized who they were when he saw their IDs.
"So it turns out you two were the ones who triggered the server-wide announcement."
"Okay, we'll talk later, we have to go now."
[Princess Ningning]: There will be a "shuffle" game when the map ends. There is a chance to get a transfer card if you get the top five, which can be traded and given away.
[In good mental condition]: May I transfer to your district?
[Princess Ningning]: Region 99, Sub-region 999.
[Princess Ningning]: My wife asked you why you transferred regions?
[In good spirits]: I ran into my illegitimate younger brother this morning, so annoying.
Chu Xuange sent Helian Ye's reason to Pei Hening, and 001 had already driven the car onto the highway.
He glanced at the car behind him in his rearview mirror and muttered a curse.
He floored the accelerator, intending to shake off the tail behind him.

002: "Master, someone wants to trade special items for the car refrigerator and water dispenser."
Pei Hening became interested; it was an acquaintance.
[Old Invisible Man]: Boss, I want to trade [Stop it, the sanitation committee is coming] (e) for a car refrigerator and water dispenser.
[Stop it, the hygiene monitor is coming] (e)
Wear it, shout "I am the best duty officer on this road!", and it will clean itself automatically.
Pei Hening's eyes lit up; she liked this prop!
[DibiDibi]: Okay, let's trade.
[Stop it, the hygiene monitor is here] is a red armband with the words "Duty" embroidered on it.
After putting on the armband, Pei Hening shouted expressionlessly, "I am the best duty officer on this highway!"
She became clean and tidy from head to toe, and she even felt that breathing was much easier.
Thankfully, thankfully there was no one on this road, so it's not embarrassing, no...
Her expression changed, and she asked awkwardly, "When did you get here?"
A robot wearing a "Highway Mail" vest stood silently beside Pei Hening.
The robot's display screen shows the emoticon "^_^".
"[Drip-Drip-Drip] Ms., I arrived just as you were shouting that you were the best duty officer on this road."
"Don't worry, I'm a robot and I won't laugh at you."
Pei Hening, with a blank expression, changed the subject: "Another package for me?"
The robot tilted its head: "Yes, it was the invitation sent to you by Manager [Ryan]."
As it spoke, it took out an invitation and handed it over.
Pei Hening went through the formalities to sign for the invitation, opened it, and frowned slightly after reading its contents.
"Dear Dibi Dibi: Highway Shop Headquarters will be holding an auction on January 20th, Highway Calendar 8675, and you are cordially invited to attend. (Navigation included)"
— Ryan.
January 9, 8675 (Road Calendar)
An auction?
There must be something good there!
The only downside is that it's expensive!
She doesn't have much money on hand. Does she really have to open all the boxes she's accumulated from the closed beta?
Pei Hening was worried that even after she opened all the boxes from the closed beta test, she still wouldn't have enough money.
She was unwilling to not go.
There are still ten days until the 20th, and I don't know if I can find a way to get some money.
——
Chu Xuange frowned: "You received an invitation to the auction at the Highway Store headquarters?"
Pei Hening leaned closer to the screen and asked earnestly, "Can I participate?"
Chu Xuange nodded: "Yes, you can also get a 10% discount with your pink gold card."
Pei Hening's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Besides opening beta test boxes, are there any other ways to make money?"
"Yes, you don't need to worry about the money, I'll figure something out."
His expression was very serious. "The headquarters auction is open to the entire server. You will encounter players from other regions, and you may even encounter one of the murderers who killed you in your previous life [get rich, get rich, get rich]."
