Crossing the Gods as Slaves

Chapter 157 Saving Money (1)

In order to collect enough money to rent a spaceship, Ge Xiu worked really hard. He extracted the so-called "vital elements" in the laboratory day and night. However, he dissected too many pigs, and even the butcher shop had some unsales, and they kept suggesting that Ge Xiu stop delivering the goods for a few days.

There was a lot of pork piled up at home, which gave Ge Xiu a headache. Fortunately, Ning Hua volunteered to pickle bacon for them to eat on the road.

Ge Xiu nodded, feeling that Ning Hua was finally able to do something decent.

Ning Hua felt very guilty watching Ge Xiu taking private jobs day and night. It was she who came up with the idea of going to the Huanglan Star Region to find the antidote, but she had a big question mark in her mind whether she could find the antidote. Her original intention was just to go to the Huanglan Star Region to find spiritual power and repair her body.

At that time, she threw out the bait of antidote because she was afraid that he would really dissect her. Now that Ge Xiu did what she wanted, she felt a little regretful that she had lied to him.

Ge Xiu not only saved her life, but is now working hard to make money to rent a spaceship. Ning Hua feels that she really shouldn't do such a thing of taking advantage of others. Facing Ge Xiu who is focused on making money every day, she hesitated several times and wanted to tell the truth.

However, the words turned around on the tip of the tongue a few times, and when they were spoken, they changed again.

"Mr. Ge Xiu, what if we don't find your antidote in the Huanglan Star Region?"

Ge Xiu raised his head from his work and glanced at Ning Hua: "The Huanglan Star Region is so big, of course it is impossible to find it in one go, just look for it slowly. Speaking of which, I have to thank you too. This problem of mine has existed for a long time, much longer than fifty years, almost as long as I can remember."

"Because no toxins were found in the serum, many doctors and experts treated our problem as a simple hair pigment mutation and angina pectoris. It has not been cured for so many years. In fact, my brother and I knew that there must be other problems. Perhaps the toxins in the serum have been gradually excreted from the body over the years, while the toxins deposited in the heart in the early years have become more and more hidden, and finally merged with my organs."

Ning Hua's expression became more and more solemn, and he heard Ge Xiu continue to speak.

"I have long suspected that it is some kind of poison that cannot be detected by current medical methods, but I just didn't want to believe it. Your advice has helped me find the direction and given me hope. So even though I need to do this kind of annoying job every day to make money, I am happy in my heart."

Ge Xiu's words made Ning Hua feel even more guilty. His eyes were filled with a desire to recover. She couldn't bear to see him disappointed, but she was destined to disappoint him.

Forget it. After arriving at the Huanglan Star Region, it is possible to find herbs that can detoxify. Even if the antidote cannot be found, the gods with spiritual power will be able to regain unlimited mana and summon some herbs to cure Ge Xiu. It should not be a difficult task.

After figuring this out, Ning Hua felt relieved. He turned around and left the laboratory to go to the kitchen upstairs to pickle bacon.

Half a month later, the first batch of pickled bacon came out freshly from the oven. As the only spectator in the audience, Ge Xiu was generous with his praise and complimented Ning Hua highly.

"Yes, it tastes very good, and has more flavor than machine-processed bacon."

Ning Hua was very happy to be praised and immediately suggested selling the extra bacon.
