The Marshal’s Wife is Wild

Chapter 20: Chapter 20: All About Getting Rich Quick Chapter 20: Chapter 20: All About Getting Rich Quick The remaining three people watched the screen with tense expressions.

“Xiaoxing, where did you buy the potion? Is it really effective?” Fei’s mother clutched at Fei Wenxing’s sleeve, asking anxiously.

“I just bought it online, I haven’t tried it before,” Fei Wenxing admitted guiltily.

Fei’s mother fell silent.

“It worked! Dad’s stabilized!” Fei Wenxing shouted excitedly.

Fei Wenyang, controlling the monitoring machinery, saw the red alert still flashing, but data was slowly decreasing, proving the potion was effective.

“Wenyang, come out first!” Fei Wenyang conveyed through the control room’s communication system.

“No need, Grandfather, Father’s condition is very stable,” Fei Wenyang did not heed the instruction, instead he stood not far from Fei Ze, closely observing Fei Ze’s condition.

Fei Wenyang could feel the turbulence of the spiritual power in the room had obviously calmed down.

Fei Ze’s expression was no longer one of unbearable pain; leaning against the wall, he made no more violent movements, and his trembling hand gradually relaxed.

Outside the control room, the data quickly dropped to a safe value, turning green and no longer flashing.

“Thank goodness! It’s all right now!” Fei’s mother wept with joy.

Fei Wenxing’s eyes widened as he muttered, “Was that potion for real?”

About fifteen minutes passed by, sweat dripped from Fei Wenyang’s forehead, and the last trace of blood-red in Fei Ze’s eyes faded away. He closed his eyes and slumped to the ground.

Fei Wenyang hurried over to check on him.

The Spirit Sea was stable; it was just that his body had been severely overdrawn, and he had passed out.

The group quickly took Fei Ze out and sent him to the rest room for treatment by the medical robot.

As the medical pod’s door closed, they all breathed a sigh of relief, the heavy stone in their hearts finally falling.

“We really owe it to this potion this time; its effects are no less than that of the Advanced Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion,” Fei Wenyang praised.

Advanced Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion!

Fei Wenxing and Fei Wenyang exchanged a grave look, both realizing the seriousness of the situation.

“Xiaoxing, how much did you spend on it, and are you sure it’s not a Lan Family potion? Is there more?” Fei Wenyang asked, with barely concealable excitement in his eyes, staring intently at Fei Wenxing.

Such a good potion obviously needed to be stocked up on.

“I bought it for 200,000 Star Coins, just one,” Fei Wenxing touched his hair and said truthfully.

“What?!”

Upon hearing this, all three were simultaneously shocked.

“Where did you buy such a good potion? Why didn’t you buy more? Hurry and buy a few more! Quick, quick, quick!” Fei Wenyang was both anxious and surprised.

“Can’t buy it anymore, the store has closed,” Fei Wenxing said.

“Ah, why has it closed? Was it sold out?” Fei’s mother felt somewhat regretful.

Fei Wenxing checked his light brain meticulously and said dejectedly, “It was reported for selling fake goods.”

“…”

This was called fake?

“See if you can contact the store owner, perhaps you can trade through other means,” Fei Wenyang suggested.

“Right, hurry and get in touch,” prodded Fei Wenyang as well.

The reason the Lan Family was so arrogant had a lot to do with their control of the potion market.

If they could get a potion with effects that could rival the Lan Family’s, what would they have to fear?

Fei Wenxing opened his private messages, looking at the unsent essay in the dialogue box…

Ah! I’m such an idiot!

With one click, he deleted it, quickly re-edited, and sent it off without delay.

Several people waited with anticipation for a while, but there was no response…

“Wenxing and Wenyang, you two keep an eye on this store. As soon as the ban is lifted, buy more potions. If you don’t have enough money, use the family account; I’ll pay,” the old Fei patriarch instructed them.

“Notify us immediately if there’s any news on Wenxing’s side.”

“Got it.” Fei Wenxing patted his chest, accepting the important task, and didn’t forget to provoke Fei Wenyang with a chrysanthemum-like grin.

This time, Fei Wenyang didn’t retort.

Meanwhile, a piece of news shot to the top of the trending searches.

Title: “Epic! A shop owner fights back after being reported for selling fakes; a battle of wits with some classic lines!”

The article came with several screenshots.

[Hahaha, I’m dying, the shop owner really replied to every single comment seriously.]

[Resolutely not letting any idiot off the hook, hahaha, the shop owner is mighty and powerful!]

[Oh my god! Who taught them to curse like that? So filthy! But why do I feel so damn good about it? Pfffhahaha!]

[Godlike, a toad weighing in on humans! Too vivid!]

[Yeah, it enlightens me big time, the shop owner is a talent.]

[Shop owner, start a class, I’m on my knees wanting to learn!]

[Watching this makes me want to get scolded too.]

[To the one above, no chance now, I tried. The store has been reported, the comments section is temporarily closed, the shop owner even enabled privacy mode, and it’s said that anyone who badmouthed the store got blacklisted.]

Many people enjoyed the drama, some were curious as to why the store was reported, and after finding out the reason, they condemned the netizens as being unfair.

Of course, there were also supporters of the Alchemist Association who felt the shop owner got what they deserved.

The two groups started to argue online, and anything about Spirit Power Potions was trending.

For a moment, quite a few more people started to pay attention to Qu Tong’s store.

Qu Tong, who was browsing the Interstellar Net, saw this trending search and her lips twitched.

This batch of netizens really has too much free time.

She envied their time for leisure and gossip.

Meanwhile, all she could think about was getting rich.

She missed her luxurious villa, her memory-foam bed, her vast open-air swimming pool, her five-star restaurant, and even her Wuling Hongguang mini.

All just bubbles…

Looking up at the constant sunlight in the sky, Qu Tong heaved a sigh and continued studying.

Xu An, upon hearing she was going to military college, sent her a lot of enrollment material, covering military common sense, medicinal knowledge, Empire history, and mecha information.

The Qu Family was not considered an upper-class noble family, and her real parents were often absent, meaning she actually lived at the bottom of society, leading a frugal life, so she lacked a lot of knowledge in her memories and had to learn everything herself.

Luckily, she had a good memory and wasn’t striving for expertise; a rudimentary understanding would suffice.

Qu Tong spent the newly acquired money to buy some furniture and even scheduled a construction worker to come over and help renovate.

As for her living quarters, she couldn’t possibly keep sleeping in a tiny worn-out house with a broken door. Although she couldn’t expect the luxury villa she once had, it was necessary to at least have a small flat with two rooms and one living room.

Qu Tong observed that everything in the Interstellar was well-developed, with home goods and housing prices having come down.

A regular house didn’t require as much hassle as before. They used modular materials and had robotic assistance, with materials stored and transported using Space Buttons, meaning one worker could handle everything.

Setting aside a few thousand Star Coins for emergencies, she bought many medicinal materials, including some rare ones, spending over a hundred thousand.

She’d grow the vegetables slowly, and once the store was unsealed, she planned to earn money mainly through potions.

From the material Xu An gave her, she learned that the Empire provides absolute protection for Pharmacists. Even the central AI doesn’t have the authority to check a Pharmacist’s identity. As long as your potions don’t cause any problems, your personal information, shipping address, and store financial movements are all under the highest level of confidentiality.
