98: Chapter 98 Where Is My Medicine 98: Chapter 98 Where Is My Medicine On the way home, looking at the stuff scattered around again, Zhao Guang felt a surge of irritation.
“Forget it, I’ll clean up tomorrow, what a waste of my time,” Zhao Guang didn’t even bother to close all the doors, just the main one.
The items inside the room weren’t really of much value anyway.
Even if there were thieves, they wouldn’t come to steal things like iron hatchets or spices, right?
Just arriving at his place, Zhao Guang’s brow furrowed, “Are these officers always this rough when searching?” He looked around his room, clearly it had been searched, but the methods were too rough.
Not to mention the messy stuff, there was also a broken cup on the floor.
“Something’s not right here,” Zhao Guang suddenly remembered he had surveillance in his room.
After turning on the surveillance system, Zhao Guang saw a masked person searching around.
This definitely wasn’t police work, but someone who had sneaked into his house after he left.
In his irritation, he hadn’t closed the door when he followed the officers out, never expecting someone to come over in the middle of the night.
Zhao Guang carefully identified the person and eventually knew who it was based on their build.
“This is definitely Wang Qishan.
It turns out this guy deliberately lured me away to look for my stuff.”
Zhao Guang became vigilant, still unsure if the Space Gate could also be used by others.
Although others in the Otherworld couldn’t use it, it was different on Earth.
If it really could be used by others, letting this guy keep searching might really uncover something.
“No, this guy must be dealt with.”
Thinking it over, since this person had already kidnapped and burnt down his home, it wouldn’t be wrong for him to act as well.
“Damn bastard, just wait, this isn’t over.”
Suddenly, Zhao Guang slapped his forehead, finally remembering that his potions were still on the other side of the Space Gate.
He decided to retrieve them first and put them in a safer place to avoid discovery later.
“Mm, I’ll put them next to the Space Gate when I bring them back this time, so I can send them through immediately if there’s a problem.”
As Zhao Guang thought this, he opened the Space Gate, but he was stunned upon arrival.
The familiar few boxes were gone.
“Where are my potions?”
Zhao Guang felt disoriented.
Could he really endure the pain of training Solid Wall Armor without painkillers?
“No, these were taken by someone.
If it was a wild beast, traces would have been left behind.” Beasts don’t have nimble hands; whether they damaged it on the spot or pushed it around, traces would remain.
At that moment, there were no such traces.
Zhao Guang used a flashlight to scan the ground and finally found a footprint.
“It was taken by the humans,” Zhao Guang compared the footprint on the ground; the prints of humans and Beastmen were starkly different.
Human Soldiers, who wore specialized military boots, left more uniform prints.
Understanding what had happened, Zhao Guang didn’t care that it was night, and he ran toward the human camp.
“What’s going on, huh?
Lord Zhao Guang, what brings you here in the middle of the night?”
The guard recognized Zhao Guang and lowered his bow and arrow.
Zhao Guang broke out in a cold sweat, realizing that had he rushed forward hastily, he might have been attacked by these soldiers.
Even though Zhao Guang was clad in armor, he wasn’t sure he wouldn’t get hurt.
“I’m here to see Count Yars, I need to verify something.”
Hearing Zhao Guang’s voice, the guard completely relaxed.
They had really worried that it wasn’t Zhao Guang coming, since anyone could wear the armor.
The camp gate opened, and as Zhao Guang entered, he saw Klay approaching him.
“The Earl knows you’re coming and has been waiting.”
As expected, these things had been taken by Yars’s men and were probably now in Yars’s hands.
But he probably didn’t know what they were, as there were no such potions in this world.
Soon, Zhao Guang arrived at Yars’s tent, where Yars was sitting in his place with those boxes beside him.
It was evident that the boxes had been opened and their contents examined.
“Are these the items you are looking for, Lord Zhao Guang?
Could you tell us what they are used for?”
Zhao Guang didn’t hide anything and replied directly, “These are actually painkillers.
You know, training a Lifebound Battle Skill is very painful, but with painkillers, it’s no problem.”
“Painkillers, is there such a thing?” Yars’s eyes lit up.
Zhao Guang internally questioned—didn’t you have painkillers?
These should be very common.
Even on Earth, many drugs serve a similar purpose, only differing slightly.
“Great, I really like these things.
You don’t need to take them back; just name your price.”
Zhao Guang quickly shook his head, “Please don’t.
It’s not easy for me to get these back home either.
If I sell them all to you, I won’t have any left.” Indeed, these were not easy to buy domestically.
If he really tried to purchase them, and people noticed, then the police might come knocking on his door again.
Yars frowned, “Really, can’t you?” These items were also needed by them.
“Can you explain a bit?” Zhao Guang’s brow furrowed slightly; perhaps this was a new business opportunity.
Although he was a bit unclear about it, there was no harm in understanding more.
Yars didn’t beat around the bush and said directly, “You know, us nobles are pampered from a young age.
Many have great talent but don’t train properly.”
Ocoro: You might as well have just said my name.
“But there are some who strive hard in training because, as nobles, we need the power.
However, training a Lifebound Battle Skill is extremely painful.
Thus, most warriors of noble descent give up on their Lifebound Battle Skills.”
Zhao Guang understood, giving up Lifebound Battle Skills meant weaker combat abilities.
And once given up, even if they wanted to pick it up later, they couldn’t.
Only one Lifebound Battle Skill could be developed per level, and once missed, it couldn’t be regained.
“I see, I could sell you some, but I can’t give you all.
I need to keep enough for myself.” These potions would last him several lifetimes of use.
“Fine, leaving one box for you should be enough.”
Zhao Guang nodded—it was indeed enough.
It was a large box, more than sufficient for his lifetime.
It seemed this man really didn’t know the specific effects of the potions, thinking they were like the ordinary potions they had, not knowing how to use them properly.
