In less than two hours of time, the big sis had already sold ten chickens, and Lu Shan had finally completed one of his newbie missions.

When Lu Shan killed the tenth chicken, a system prompt immediately appeared in his mind:

"Novice mission 2. Killing — Completed (10/10), extra 10 points for Upgrade Experience Value. "

And then there was nothing else. The reward for the previous mission, however, did not appear.

Lu Shan was startled, thinking that the system would not go back on its word, right? Then why didn't the promised reward be given out?

He looked at the bottle of chicken blood that had just filled his hand, and his heart skipped a beat …

Could it be … That blood pill was obtained from this bottle of chicken blood!

Thinking about it, while the big sister was not paying attention, Lu Shan summoned the Upgrade Box in his mind and placed the big bottle of chicken blood into a space within the Upgrade Box.

After that, he saw a burst of precious light. After a moment, the large bottle of chicken blood disappeared, leaving behind only a bright red pill the size of a chicken egg yolk in the space within the treasure box.

So it was like that!

Lu Shan was a little excited as he reached out to grab the red pellet in his hand.

"Blood pill (Low or Substandard), after consumption, it can instantly activate five times the force of Qi and blood." Duration of 5 Minutes... This item is restricted to people below level 3. "

Lu Shan remembered that previously, when the system released the mission, it said that the blood pill could release five to ten times the force of the Blood Qi. Now, however, the blood pill he obtained could only activate five times the power of the Blood Qi. His reward of blood core was simply trash out of the low-level potions!

But this couldn't be blamed on others, who told Lu Shan to kill ten chickens? He estimated that when he completed this task, if he had chosen to kill ten cattle, horses, and so on and then use their blood to fuse them, the resulting blood elixir would have the effect of increasing his blood vitality tenfold. But... Where could he find ten oxen or horses for him to kill?

He then looked at the number of times the Upgrade Box had been used, and discovered that it was still marked as (0/10). It seemed like the number of times he had used the Upgrade Box not only to convert the chicken blood into a blood pill, but also to not consume the Upgrade Box!

After finishing the mission, Lu Shan helped Big Sis kill another chicken. But unfortunately … After killing the chicken, there were no more notifications in his mind. He looked at the levelling up experience displayed on the Upgrade Box again (20/100).

It seemed like it was impossible for him to level up by relying on "killing monsters"! Since that was the case, there was no need for him to waste any more time here. Furthermore, it was already dark and he had yet to find a place to rest. He couldn't possibly sleep on the streets tonight, right?

Thus, Lu Shan bade farewell to the big sister of the live chicken shop, and found a small inn to stay at while carrying his travel bag.

After putting down his luggage, Lu Shan ordered a large bowl of noodles at the Shuangqing Noodle Shop near the inn. After filling his stomach, Lu Shan started to worry about the other newbie mission.

After completing the mission, he would no longer have to worry about his aunt coming every month! However … If he was unable to complete the task, the penalty of shrinking his height by five centimeters would be equally unbearable.

Originally, he didn't study medicine, so it could be said that he had no clue on how to concoct medicine. However, when he saw that bottle of chicken blood being turned into a blood pill within the Upgrade Box, he saw a glimmer of hope.

Perhaps … The medicine required for this quest could be made with the help of Upgrade Box.

Thinking about it, Lu Shan ran over to a pharmacy and bought over a hundred different kinds of herbs in one go. He wanted to see if he could rely on luck to concoct a low-level potion using these herbs.

Lu Shan did not have much money with him, so he did not dare choose ginseng, deer antler or other expensive medicinal ingredients. Furthermore, he only bought a few grams of each medicinal ingredients.

But even so, it still cost him more than six hundred dollars. Seeing that the amount of money in his pocket was only a little more than a thousand, Lu Shan could not help but feel his heart ache.

I thought I had picked up a treasure after suddenly obtaining such a mysterious Upgrade Box! In the end, he didn't get a single profit, but instead spent almost a thousand yuan to buy it!

However … For the sake of his height, no matter how much he had to pay, he could only accept it!

Returning to the inn, Lu Shan began to open the bags of traditional Chinese medicine and place them into the five boxes of Upgrade Box one by one.

No response? Try another way... Still no reaction? Then change it again …

There were a total of a hundred different types of medicinal herbs. Every five of them would be in a group. How many different combinations could there be? In any case, Lu Shan couldn't calculate it out, so he could only keep going forward and try again and again.

However, even after working all the way until around 10 PM, he still did not manage to see any reaction from the Upgrade Box.

It's over! It seemed that without any foundation in pharmacy, it would be impossible to complete the task of dispensing the ingredients within 24 hours!

Get... Just shrink your height! Maybe if they were shorter, they could still appear more adorable!

Lu Shan helplessly consoled himself, and then he felt his stomach rumbling again. Hence, he decided not to bother about the issue of the ingredients anymore. He picked up his wallet and left the inn...

Lu Shan had been studying in a nearby university, so he had a better understanding of his surroundings. "At this point, he easily took a detour around two streets and came to a busy street full of food.

Although he did not have much money on hand, he did not have any work to do. But Lu Shan felt that he should not treat himself unfairly, and once in awhile, he would try to rely on himself for a bit, it was only right for him to do so!
