Chapter 69 Pharmacopoeia
"It's not expensive anyway."

Zhang Rui spread his hands casually and said:

"I just think this book looks very ancient. Maybe it is a note left by a civilization before the emergence of human beings."

Zhang Rui tried his best to make himself look like a young man with a strong curiosity about everything, as if what he cared about was "the unknown" rather than the value of the item itself.

"Okay." The fourth master smiled, and immediately raised a placard, offering a price of 20 yuan.

Zhang Rui kept smiling and quietly watched Fourth Master bid for the auction.When he came this time, he was not qualified to participate in the auction. He just came as an accompaniment to Fourth Master. If he wanted to buy items, he had to ask Fourth Master for help.

The fourth master's bidding has aroused the interest of many auctioneers. Although they will not be as eager to spend more "wrong money" as Zhang Rui, but as Zhang Rui said just now, this book is not expensive for them. 10 It was only [-] yuan, and to everyone present, it was not even a drop in the bucket.

After the fourth master, many people followed suit, but it was not as intense as those antiques before the auction, and the price increases were all [-] yuan. The atmosphere of the whole venue seemed very depressed.

After several rounds of bidding, the fourth master had already reached a high price of 80, and everyone lost interest. Only a few people followed two more rounds, seeing that the price had reached one million, they all gave up.

In the end, Zhang Rui bought this ancient book at a price of 120 million. While thanking the fourth master, he still did not forget his "acting" and flipped through the book in front of the fourth master with great interest.

As the host introduced, the typesetting on this paper is neat, and there are a few abstract pictures that cannot be recognized at all, but these characters do not belong to human beings.

Rather than believe that these symbols came from a civilization earlier than human beings, people are more willing to believe that they are a hoax of boring people.

Zhang Rui nodded invisibly, and after flipping through a few pages, he pretended to lose interest in the book and put it in his jacket pocket casually.

Fourth Master stood quietly by the side, looked at Zhang Rui's reaction and shook his head with a smile, perhaps because he felt that Zhang Rui was still too young.

Of course, it may be a good thing to advance aggressively at the right time, and Fourth Master also appreciates Zhang Rui's point, just like he spent several times the price to buy the shares of his hotel.

This made him feel a long-lost momentum and vitality.

"Let's go kid, go see someone with me."

"it is good."

The old and the young walked out of the box one after another, and the vase and the oil painting auctioned by Zhang Rui were temporarily kept by the Kang family, and they would take them away when they left.

"Old Li, long time no see."

"Fourth Master, I've kept you waiting, this way please."

The housekeeper surnamed Li saluted fourth master very respectfully, and then led the way slowly.

Fourth Master had already made an agreement with the person he met, but he still had to wait until the auction was over?
Zhang Rui thought to himself, and began to speculate on this person's identity.To keep fourth master waiting for so long, his status must not be low.

"Fourth Master, wait a long time."

"Old Patriarch, please stay safe."

In the reception hall of the Kang family, Zhang Rui saw this existence.

This person was about the same age as fourth master, with gray hair and skinny bones, and looked not in a very good spirits, which was in stark contrast to fourth master's high spirits.

The head of the Kang family...

In an instant, Zhang Rui understood the identity of this person.

"Old Patriarch, is Guisheng better?"

Sitting next to the head of the Kang family, Fourth Master asked with great concern.

The old Patriarch sighed silently, shook his head lightly and said:
"It's still the same. I have sought countless doctors over the years, but I have never been able to find a solution."

He picked up the teacup and took a sip, his haggard look made people feel pity.

"Fourth Master, who is this?"

"Oh, this is a little friend I met recently, and I hit it off very well. His name is Zhang Rui."

"Old master, good evening."

In response to Si Ye's introduction, Zhang Rui bowed and greeted him very politely.

"Not bad, not bad. I'm about the same age... Hehe, if I had half of your mentality, I wouldn't be living like this."

The old Patriarch looked at Zhang Rui, smiled and said to himself.

"You and I are different, you still have hope."

Fourth master took the words, not knowing what attitude he wanted to express.

Zhang Rui stood aside in a daze, completely unaware of what the two old men were talking about.

He can only roughly guess that the "guisheng" that fourth master said should be the son of the old Patriarch, who is about the same age, and he should be comparing himself with Guisheng.

Did something happen to the young head of the Kang family? ...

"Xiao Rui, please sit down for a while. I'll take fourth master to see Guisheng. He is my son."

"Yes, old Patriarch."

Only Zhang Rui, the housekeeper, and some busy nannies were left in the hall. Zhang Rui looked around and finally got some time to be alone.

"System, do you recognize this book?"

"Yes, this book comes from the world I was born in, and the characters on it are also the language of that world."

The system replied flatly.

Zhang Rui was overjoyed. Sure enough, this book has a lot to do with the system.

"What book is this?"

"Pharmacopia. It's a pharmacopoeia."

Pharmacopoeia?Zhang Rui frowned. Just now he fantasized that this was a martial arts masterpiece, a secret book handed down from generation to generation, but he didn't expect it to be just a pharmacopoeia...

Forget it, the Pharmacopoeia is the Pharmacopoeia, at least it’s not children’s graffiti...

"System, can you translate the above content for me?"

"No."

The system replied bluntly.

...?
A question mark slowly emerged in Zhang Rui's mind.cannot?Then what do I do when I buy it back!
"After leaving this world, due to the restrictions of the world rules, this system cannot provide any information about the world it is in, and cannot provide any help and substantive rewards to the host in the case of non-quest rewards."

The system quietly explained.

Zhang Rui twitched the corners of his mouth, and finally spit out a sentence:
"Then what are you shaking, you mean you let me buy it for nothing?"

"You can learn by yourself."

The system replied.

"I learn by myself? I don't know how to make characters!"

"This system can teach you."

"...? Aren't you unable to provide any information about your world? Doesn't text count?"

"Forget it. But this system can be leaked unconsciously, so it doesn't count as a provision."

"Or reward you with relevant text knowledge in the form of task rewards."

... After this conversation, Zhang Rui really felt that he had learned a lot.I am afraid that only this strange system can be able to talk about unconscious leaks in such a serious manner. Is this using rules to create rules...

This reminded Zhang Rui of a dialogue for no reason:
I want to buy a house, I have no money, but I can grab it...

"Okay. I hope it's not too difficult a task."

Zhang Rui directly ruled out the first option.
