Chapter 165: Changes
In just over half an hour, Ke Qun arrived in Xuantian City. Seeing the city walls adorned with protective weapons, he couldn't help but sigh at the wealth of the city lord here.
I have often heard from others that all the NPCs here are at the highest level and appear to be big money collectors.
The protective shield was open, and since he was not the city lord here, he lowered the flying height of his mount. He parked at the gate of the city-state, put away his mount, and walked in.
Lu Jiu was already waiting by the door. At this moment, she had changed her appearance. Now she was Ying Bairong, the lord of Xuantian City.
Ke Qun was stunned for a moment when he saw someone approaching. The other person looked at the child. Lin Jiang's forehead was still very hot, but it was much better than before.
"My name is Ying Bairong, the Lord of Xuantian City. I saw this child's situation on the dialogue channel, so I'm waiting for you here."
Ke Qun immediately extended his hand, and the other person naturally shook it.
"I happened to see him and brought the child here. Considering his serious condition, I continued to come after obtaining the medicine to prevent any emergencies."
Lu Jiu nodded, "Follow me. I'll ask the pharmacy manager and show him."
The pharmacy manager can check what the negative status of the player is infected with and determine if the condition has improved.
When Ke Qun saw the store manager NPC, his eyes lit up. This NPC girl is so beautiful.
But the most important thing now was the condition of the child. He calmed down and placed the child on the sofa in the store.
The store manager NPC glanced at Lin Jiang and said, "It turned out to be pneumonia. Fortunately, he took the medicine on time. Now his condition is improving, but it's not that fast. He needs to take some warming medicine in the past few days."
A few items appeared in the hands of the pharmacist. A small bottle filled with elixirs the size of a pinky finger. They were specially made tonics that she could use to speed up recovery.
She handed the medicine to Ke Qun, who took it with a sense of excitement.
Lu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as everything is fine if you are worried, the child can stay here and recuperate for a few days before going back once he recovers."
Ke Qun was not a relative of Lin Jiang. As per the policy, ordinary residents who stayed overnight in other city-states automatically became temporary residents here. Ke Qun smiled and said, "We will decide when his parents arrive."
Lu Jiu nodded, but she expressed her surprise at Ke Qun Qun's behavior this time, "I didn't expect you to be different from what the rumors say. I thought you would only be interested in beauties."
Such a strong sense of responsibility led him children to seek medicine, which refreshed her perception and understanding of Ke Qun.
Ke Qun understood that she was also a proactive player, and in the Smart Game, he was well-known. Anyone who had read the game gossip knew about him.
"After all, I am also the City Lord of Paradise City. If the residents in the city are in danger, they should be helped."
Lu Jiu smiled. It seems that as a city lord, his sense of responsibility has been awakened. If he had treated the girls he flirted with a sense of responsibility, she wouldn't have been so disgusted and ignored him at the beginning.
Ke Qun took a careful look at the city lord standing before him. She had a beautiful appearance and a slender figure. She was also a well-known city lord of Xuantian City, located in the Jinjiang District. She was definitely someone worth befriending.
"Can I add you as a friend? The store manager of my city-state pharmacy has intermediate skills. I am currently planning to open another store and hire a store manager with high-level talent. However, I'm concerned that a condition like this child's condition will get worse. I want to buy more medicine from you."
Lu Jiu had no objection to trading, saying, "Okay, I just hope you won't raise the price too high when you go back to resell. Otherwise, all the residents in your city will come to me."
Ke Qun showed his signature charming smile and said, "That's okay. Even if you are not the city lord, settling in Xuantian City is still a good choice."
He has always envied Feng Qi's unrestrainedness. If it comes to that, he is willing to live a relaxed and comfortable life.
The two of them became friends. They observed Lin Jiang closely and noticed that his complexion was improving, his body temperature was starting to decrease, and he appeared less uncomfortable.
Ke Qun did not give up chatting with Lu Jiu. "City Lord Ying was hiding information before. The city lords of several neighboring city-states have no opportunity to get to know you."
Lu Jiu knew that he had relapsed into his old habit of flirting with girls, but he couldn't resist the temptation. Despite this, she maintained a calm expression and replied, "It's nothing, I just want to keep a low profile."
Ke Qun quietly moved closer to Lu Jiu and spoke in a gentle tone, "Then City Lord Ying has always managed the city by herself. Isn't it very tiring?"
Before the other party could reply, he felt a shadow above his head, when he looked up, he saw a tall, strong man with a cold temperament staring at him.
Lu Jiu stood up and introduced him, saying, "This is Su Lei, the deputy city lord of our city-state."
It was Shen Jufeng.
He went out of the city today to clear the fields, but she didn't expect him to show up here and become the deputy city lord.
Ke Qun stood up and extended his hand, introducing himself, "My name is Ke Qun, the Lord of Paradise City. I have urgent business in Xuantian City today."
Shen Jufeng nodded, and the two shook hands before taking their seats. This time, he sat in Ke Qun's seat, between Ke Qun and Lu Jiu.
He knew this man. Lu Jiu had previously complained to him about this man's philandering in the Baiguo Grove.
Ke Qun's mouth twitched when he saw the seating arrangement. Could this man be the city lord's boyfriend? Although the look he just gave him was not hostile, he regarded the city lord very strictly.
On the other hand, Lin Jiang's parents finally arrived in Xuantian City. Ke Qun had already sent an email informing them that they were at the pharmacy.
When Lin Jiang's mother arrived at the pharmacy, she found Lin Jiang sleeping on the large sofa in the store. Now his face was rosy, and he appeared to be asleep.
She gently hugged her eldest son and expressed gratitude to Ke Qun, Lu Jiu, and the others, saying, "Thank you, thank you for saving my son."
Ke Qun stood up and handed Lin Jiang's mother the tonic that the pharmacy manager had given him.
"The store manager suggested that the child should take supplements, stating that he would not be able to fully recover quickly. Therefore, she advised the child to take a good rest in the coming days."
Lin Jiang's mother took the medicine and said, "Thank you, how much is it? I will transfer it to you."
Ke Qun never considered rejecting the money, but upon realizing that the child was seriously ill, Lin Jiang's parents, who were ordinary residents, decided to reduce the price by half.
After giving the money, Lin Jiang's father also arrived.
Lu Jiu didn't mention allowing them to stay here to recover for a few days. She realized that this was meant for ordinary residents, so they most likely wouldn't become an official resident of Paradise City.
"The child's condition has improved. You can buy a few more pills here and allow him to have a good rest when he returns. Please be careful to keep the time spent outside the city. Children's physical condition is not as good as that of adults."
Lin Jiang's mother nodded and wiped her tears after hearing this. "Thank you. We will pay attention to it in the future."
Lu Jiu didn't say much and asked the couple to stay with their children before she left the drugstore, with Shen Jufeng following her.
After coming out, Lu Jiu couldn't contain her curiosity and asked Shen Jufeng, "How did you know I would be at the drugstore?"
Then she looked at his appearance. The meaning was obvious. Why did he change to this state in advance?
"You didn't leave the city today. I saw the information on the dialogue channel and assumed that you would take action."
And it must be done in the image of the city lord, in order to avoid appearing too sudden.
Lu Jiu simply pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows. Her good teammate was getting to know her better and better.
Ke Qun exchanged a few words with Lin Jiang's parents. When he looked up, he noticed that the two were no longer there.
