"Do you think I'm joking?" Luo Chuan asked seriously.
Bu Lige studied Luo Chuan carefully, then shook his head decisively.
"But this effect is a bit too incredible. It's hard to believe!" Bu Lige still couldn't help but remark.
"Good value for money. Young people aren't easily deceived," Luo Chuan replied calmly.
To complete the system's task, Luo Chuan didn't want to let such a potential customer slip away.
As the young master of the Southern Protector's Mansion, Bu Lige was naturally wealthy and made decisions quickly.
Bu Lige took a bottle of Coke from the container, then readily placed a spirit crystal on the counter.
Luo Chuan nodded, then waved his hand, making the spirit crystal disappear without a trace.
Bu Lige's impression of Luo Chuan improved slightly. From being an interesting shop owner, Luo Chuan now seemed more like a mysterious hermit.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the novice task and earning a chance to draw a lottery," the system's voice chimed in Luo Chuan's mind.
"By the way, just to remind you, this Coke is a drink."
With the system task complete, Luo Chuan was in a good mood and offered the reminder.
"A drink?" Bu Lige was a bit surprised.
With such an effect, he couldn't believe it was just a drink.
In this world, there were elixirs, potions, and all sorts of alchemical concoctions, but Bu Lige had never encountered a drink with such extraordinary effects.
For a moment, he felt his worldview had been completely shattered.
"Of course." Luo Chuan nodded. "Just open the cap and drink."
As he spoke, he also opened his own bottle of Coke, making a 'chi' sound as the cap was removed, then poured half the bottle.
Instantly, a refreshing coldness spread from his throat and stomach throughout his entire body.
That's right, this Coke was also chilled!
"Is that so?"
Following Luo Chuan's lead, Bu Lige unscrewed his own bottle, hesitated for a moment, then took a sip.
At first, Bu Lige had assumed this black liquid would taste strange—perhaps even unpleasant—but as soon as the drink touched his tongue, his eyes widened in surprise.
"Wow!"
As the bubbles burst in his mouth, an icy sensation spread from his throat and coursed through his body, making Bu Lige shudder in delight.
"This Coke… why is it so delicious?! I've never had a drink like this before!" Bu Lige exclaimed, his disbelief evident on his face.
His mind wandered for a moment. The young master of the Southern Protector's Mansion had never expected to encounter a drink like this in such a remote alley.
Luo Chuan smiled inwardly. How could the power of this "happy water" resist such a powerful force?
"My body... and my injuries?" Bu Lige suddenly felt something change in his body, and his expression shifted again.
As the son of the Southern Protector, Bu Lige had been assassinated a few months ago. Although he survived, a hidden wound remained, one that was extremely difficult to heal.
At the time, his father had been furious and spent an entire week searching for the assassin, but in the end, the culprit remained a mystery.
Yet, after drinking the Coke, the deep injuries that had been nearly impossible to heal disappeared in an instant. Bu Lige couldn't help but wonder if he was imagining things.
"This Coke... it restores all non-fatal injuries after drinking it," Luo Chuan casually explained.
"I can't believe this is actually true..." Bu Lige sighed, still in shock.
He had initially thought the description of Coke was exaggerated. But after experiencing it firsthand, he realized the effects were far beyond any normal healing potions or pills. The price he paid, just one spirit crystal, was incredibly cheap compared to the value it offered.
