Chapter 475: Cursed Hospital (13)
“Ha!” Feng Bujue laughed when he saw that. He had a feeling he had turned from prey to predator.
“What are you laughing about? Quickly go and find my key.” Victor’s shrill voice started to say.
“You mean this?” Feng Bujue smiled wickedly as he took out Victor’s Key from his pocket and dangled it before the goblin.
“Ah! Right! Quick, give it to me.” Victor extended both hands like a child asking for a toy.
“Hmph…” Brother Jue scoffed. “I know about your secret… you greedy opportunist…” he subtly moved to the door just in case. “Sorghum Wine… is it? Hah… they cost cheap to produce but they sure sell quite nicely among the races who has a weakness for alcohol.”
“Are you blackmailing me?” No wonder he was a goblin, Victor was very sharp when it came to these things.
“If I were you…” Feng Bujue did not answer directly but said, “When I have found a resource that would lead me to endless riches… I would hire a powerful sorcerer to get them to help me add an indestructible magical barrier on my wine cellar.” Then he swung the key twice. “And I will have them make a unique key that can only open that barrier and I will keep the key on me always.” He paused as he looked at Victor with greedy eyes. “In other words… I am not holding just a key but the deposit to the store of all your Sorghum Wine and the formula to brew this drink.”
Actually there was no basis behind his claims. Brother Jue mainly filled up the blanks with the remarks from Zombie Must Die and Victor’s Key. But… he seemed to hit the jackpot.
“You bastard! Fine, what do you want?” Victor admitted surprisingly easily.
Hearing that Feng Bujue was overjoyed but on the surface, he asked evenly, “What do you have?”
…
“I have the teleport stone that will get you to the third floor,” Victor replied.
“Hah?” Feng Bujue was flummoxed but he got it the next second. That was supposed to the reward for this side quest in the first place. “What else?”
“Money!” Victor said, “or you’re looking for something else?” His expression shifted. “Speaking of which… I do have a nice and she doesn’t mind marrying another race…”
“Equipment! Equipment Equipment Equipment Equipment Equipment!” Feng Bujue roared.
“Are you crazy?” Victor roared back. “Where would I get you any equipment? I’m in the trading business, before I found the thing, I already found the trader. They will not stay with me for longer than 2 days. I only have money and never the contraband… I mean, product.”
“What use would I have for money?” Feng Bujue shouted. He was not wrong. Just like what the coin’s remark said, Monster Kingdom’s currency was worthless.
“Fine! You want ‘objects’ is I t?” Victor said as he took out two objects from his bedside table and handed them over. “I only have ‘this’ and the teleport stone, you trading or not?”
[Qie… all that and only for one extra object…] Feng Bujue grumbled internally, [o well… better than nothing.]
“Sure, sure.” Feng Bujue said without hesitation. “I have no use for your key anyway.” Then he took two steps forward to exchange the stuff.
“You bastard! I will file a complaint about you!” Victor grumbled as he shoved the key into his chest.
The count chuckled joyfully. “ha ha ha, you cutthroat, finally karma caught up to you.”
Then the two got into another argument…
And Feng Bujue after he saw the description of the two objects, he left the room. Before he went to the third floor, he had one more side quest uncompleted. Since the other quests all pointed towards the same target—the hospital director, then the reward he got from the count should be related to the main quest as well. He wouldn’t miss out on it.
…
Brother Jue stayed in Room 216 for a while before he came out, this way he would not to worry about Chad for a short period of time. Therefore, Feng Bujue also took things slow. To put a long story short, 10 minutes later, he returned to the elevator and pressed the button for B1. The elevator door slowly closed and the clanking begun. It did not take long for the doors to open again. Before him was a corridor that was only 5 metres long and beyond that was a thick and sturdy metallic door.
“Why does they make it look like a bank vault…” Feng Bujue mumbled as he walked out from the elevator. From the few steps between the elevator and the blood bank door, he seemed to realize something and he laughed. “Indeed… the world of Monster Kingdom, blood is as important as gold in real life.”
Soon, Feng Bujue took out his key to open the blood bank. Before he got in, he heard someone from inside say, “Who is it?”
This ‘man’ voice was very unique like the hooting of an owl. Even just from a short sentence, the throat made a coocoo sound.
“it’s me…” Feng Bujue reflex was quick and he answered without thinking, “Leicester.”
“Oh…” The person responded. As Brother Jue replied, he poked his head into the room…
Behind the metallic door was a space about 200 metres cubic metres wide. Compared to the other rooms at the hospital, this place was ridiculously large. In the middle of the room was an office desk and low-temperature shelves that were used to store the blood were arranged neatly around the room, against the wall. At that moment, the ‘person’ who was seated at the office table was slowly flipping through a magazine. Regarding “Leicester’s” visit, the person did not seem much surprised by it.
“Is it because it’s underground… so the space is bigger…?” Feng Bujue walked into the door and looked around and commented.
“it’s you on duty tonight?” The person seated at the table said again. After he got closer, Feng Bujue realized, this one was a NPC with an extremely figurative face…
