Chapter 372: This NPC can drop 27 gold coins.
The task of chopping wood was quite simple. Lu Ming ran to the woodpile in the backyard, clicked on the firewood, and the character on the screen automatically started chopping wood.
After three attempts and three countdowns, the wood-chopping task was completed.
The task was completed in just one minute.
This is much faster than those monster-hunting quests from before.
However, the rewards are about the same as before, still as small as ever.
Compared to the previous posts, his task rewards are indeed relatively small.
However, compared to the previous main quests, there are fewer tasks and more money now.
I received another task, another simple task of fetching water.
Looks like I'm having good luck today.
Maybe it was Jiang He who brought him good luck today.
Lu Ming was very excited.
I've decided to do more tasks.
It's only a little past one o'clock anyway, it's not late.
I can always sleep in a little longer tomorrow.
If my luck turns bad tomorrow and it turns into one of those monster-hunting quests again, then I'll lose a lot of money.
After three monster-hunting quests appeared in a row, he went to sleep.
However, the tasks assigned by Jiang He were all very simple, just small chores that could be completed in a minute or two.
Before we knew it, another three hours had passed.
Lu Ming was now looking at his phone with his eyes half-closed.
I've been staying up late for two consecutive nights and I'm feeling exhausted.
My eyes, which had previously felt better, are now stinging again.
Play a little longer and then go to sleep.
I'm going to sleep right away.
Lu Ming made up his mind.
But I couldn't bear to put down my phone, and before I knew it, half an hour, an hour, two hours, three hours had passed.
Lu Ming simply couldn't hold on any longer.
I feel like I can't open my eyes anymore; if I do, it stings.
But at that moment, a notification suddenly appeared on the game interface.
Lu Ming couldn't help but widen his eyes to look.
Congratulations to the player for gaining 100 favorability points with Jiang He, the landlady of the starting village, and receiving 10,000 gold coins as a gift from her.
Each time, I can only get a dozen or so gold coins from the landlady.
This time I actually got 10,000 gold coins.
This was the first time Lu Ming had ever received so many gold coins.
Ten thousand gold coins is equivalent to one hundred yuan in cash.
Tonight's tasks were worthwhile, and staying up all night wasn't in vain.
This is a really great achievement.
Is this the hidden reward?
I remember Jiang He saying that her hidden reward was a lucky charm.
He received 10,000 gold coins.
Although this 10,000 gold coins couldn't compare to Jiang He's lucky charm, it was still the best reward he had ever received in all the time he had played the game.
100 favorability points?
It seems he completed about 100 rounds of the mission.
Therefore, you can increase your favorability by completing a task.
I've already earned 10,000 gold coins by reaching 100 points of favorability. I wonder what other rewards I'll get if I keep going.
Lu Ming was still looking forward to it.
However, my eyes just couldn't take it anymore.
I also feel some discomfort in my heart area.
If I keep staying up late, I might really die suddenly. I should go to sleep now.
After that, he left the game running less and spent more time during the day increasing the boss lady's favorability.
Lu Ming put down his phone with satisfaction, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.
The next day, Lu Ming woke up and tried to open his eyes, but felt as if something was covering them, making it impossible to open them at all.
If you force your eyes open, they will only hurt a lot.
Damn it, what's going on?
Although he felt really bad last night, he still managed to get some sleep.
Even without opening his eyes, he could sense that it was already sunny and the sunlight was quite dazzling.
Lu Ming groped his way to his feet and opened the door.
He called out to his roommate.
He can't see now and doesn't know what's wrong with his eyes, so he can only call his roommate to come and take a look.
Surely they can't just go blind like that.
Hearing Lu Ming's shouts, his roommate came out to see what was going on. Seeing Lu Ming's groping in the dark, he asked curiously.
"Lu Ming, what's wrong with you?"
"I can't open my eyes, please help me, what's wrong with my eyes?"
My roommate noticed that Lu Ming's eyes had a ring of eye boogers.
The eyelashes were covered in dirt.
My roommate dampened a tissue and wiped away the sleep from his eyes.
They lifted Lu Ming's eyelids slightly.
His eyes were bloodshot.
It's not just bloodshot eyes anymore; the whites of their eyes are completely red.
It looks a bit scary.
"Lu Ming, this looks a bit serious. Why don't you go to the hospital to get it checked out?"
Lu Ming was also afraid that he would really go blind, so the two went to the hospital together.
Given Lu Ming's current condition, he's practically blind and can't see anything, so his roommate had no choice but to accompany him to the hospital.
I arrived at the hospital and saw a doctor.
The doctor said it was a bacterial infection and prescribed eye drops for Lu Ming, telling him to be careful with his eyes for the next few days.
Those eye drops need to be paid for out of pocket.
Lu Ming said he had eye drops at home and had used them last night.
Maybe we shouldn't bother getting these eye drops.
I took a taxi to the hospital today, and it cost me a lot of money.
Since he was the one who came to see the doctor, and his roommate accompanied him, he couldn't let his roommate split the bill with him. He had to pay for all the expenses today.
The doctor said it's just a bacterial infection, nothing serious, and that some eye drops will do.
He was much relieved. He had thought he was going to go blind, which was why he rushed to the hospital.
If I had known it was such a small problem, I would have gone to the clinic first, instead of coming all the way to this big hospital.
If you have eye drops at home, you don't need to spend the money.
The doctor asked what kind of eye drops were in the house.
Lu Ming said it was just ordinary eye drops, which he had just used last night, and he had checked the expiration date, which was still a month away from expiring.
The doctor asked if the eye drops had been opened before.
It has obviously been opened.
Then don't use it.
Opened eye drops have a shelf life of only fifteen days.
His eye infection was most likely caused by those eye drops.
If I continue using it, my eyes might really go blind.
Moreover, these eye drops must be used according to the specific symptoms.
Ordinary eye drops only have a moisturizing effect, and they are not the right treatment for this bacterial infection.
In the end, Lu Ming still got some eye drops and went home.
After all that commotion, it was already evening when we got back.
To thank his roommate, Lu Ming treated him to dinner.
I ordered two servings of duck leg rice at the Shaxian Snacks restaurant near the entrance of my residential area.
After receiving eye drops at the hospital, Lu Ming was able to open his eyes a little.
Now I can see clearly even if I squint.
I felt lucky last night because I earned 10,000 gold coins.
As a result of all this commotion today, I've lost all 20,000 gold coins.
I should have known better than to use those eye drops; they're a real culprit.
Fortunately, I did some quests in the starting village last night, and at least I earned a hundred yuan.
It might be able to make up for today's losses a little, otherwise it would have been a huge loss.
After returning home, Lu Ming used eye drops again.
Although I still feel a little uncomfortable and in pain.
However, Lu Ming felt that it wasn't a big problem.
It's a bacterial infection; it'll be fine in a couple of days.
However, he definitely won't stay up all night like the previous two days; he'll play for a little while and then go to sleep.
