The repairman, who had been enduring the awkward conversation with Chu Bamboo, felt his eye twitch. He could sense the other two giving him strange looks…
He knew what they found strange. 'But no matter how I think about it, I can't figure out why Chu Bamboo would treat me differently… And this "illness" of mine, why do the symptoms appear one moment and disappear the next? Should I still go to the hospital later or not?'
'Damn it, a hospital visit is expensive… even for a Cultivator like me! After all, when a Cultivator gets sick, you have to find a Cultivator from the Agricultural Education… The cost would be at least a week's wages from working on the artifact repair assembly line… and that's just for a minor ailment. If it's a serious illness… I can't even bear to think about it!'
"…Perhaps it's a test?" Mo Wen suddenly said with a wry smile, a theory forming in his mind.
This drew the other two's attention, but he shook his head and said no more.
