Chapter 147: Let’s have roast meat tonight!
Since Gu Yu started working at the medical hall, more and more rumors about him have been circulating in the capital.
Without exception, they were all praises.
If anyone proposed a different opinion, they would immediately be besieged by the crowd and subjected to a barrage of criticism, not only earning quite a bit of spittle but also being criticized to the point of doubting life.
As a result, others stopped speaking.
Some people even joined the ranks of praising Gu Yu.
Seeing the current development, Gu Yu nodded with satisfaction, thinking that the internet trolls he hired had done a good job!
There was no other way, Gu Yu felt he had too much silver and needed to find an opportunity to spend it.
Coincidentally, this follow-up to expanding his reputation required quite a few people to play along.
If he received negative reviews, it would not be a good thing.
As for whether spending money like this was the right way… Gu Yu didn’t care. As long as he felt it was right, then it was right.
It was better to cut the Gordian knot from the start than to hesitate and get entangled for half a day.
Of course, this was also because Gu Yu was rich.
If he were in the situation of just transmigrating and being penniless, Gu Yu would naturally not spend money so lavishly, but would consider it carefully.
No matter the environment, there are corresponding methods.
There was no need to dwell on this too much.
After Gu Yu spent money hiring internet trolls to praise him for a few days, someone immediately came to his door wanting to exchange for the Longevity Pill.
The treasures brought were more generous than before.
However, Gu Yu smiled slightly and did not agree to this person’s request to exchange for the Longevity Pill.
The reason was simple: they didn’t meet the standard.
With the expenditure of considerable thought and money as a price, the cost of the Longevity Pill had also increased.
Now, to exchange for it, one had to pay more.
This was precisely why Gu Yu wanted to expand his reputation: he could set prices arbitrarily and also make those who came to exchange willingly offer more treasures.
The ultimate effect of advertising was to drive up the price of the already very expensive Longevity Pill even higher.
Thinking about this with a smug smile, Gu Yu spent the next few days like harvesting leeks, collecting a large number of treasures into his space. This led the collectors in the capital to wonder why the treasures circulating in the capital had significantly decreased recently.
It had been a long time since they had collected any new treasures, and their desire to collect was stirring.
With this thought, when the collectors learned that all the treasures in the capital were flowing into Gu Yu’s hands, they became very curious about this Gu Yu and submitted visiting cards to the Gu family one after another.
These collectors, who preferred a semi-reclusive life, were not very clear about when Gu Yu appeared in the capital.
However, after hearing the rumors about Gu Yu, their interest grew even greater.
Others would not give their treasures to Gu Yu for nothing; there must have been a transaction between them.
However, those who successfully exchanged kept their mouths shut, not revealing the slightest bit of information about their transactions with Gu Yu.
Even when asked, their expressions immediately turned grim.
They looked like they didn’t want to talk about it anymore, making the inquirers realize they wouldn’t be able to find out anything.
Now, they could only wait to personally meet Gu Yu to uncover the truth of the matter!
Afterward, when the collectors actually met Gu Yu, Gu Yu was not polite to them. He first made a perfunctory diagnosis, revealing a bit of the medical skills he had learned from the Medical Scripture.
He pointed out some hidden ailments of these people that were not to be spoken of by outsiders, which surprised everyone, thinking that he was indeed the divine doctor Gu Yu as rumored!
He had so easily found the cause of their illnesses and had generously provided the treatment method.
Gu Yu was truly excellent.
“Everyone, you must have come to the Gu Residence for that item!”
“That’s right, we hope Doctor Gu can let us see it and resolve our doubts.”
“Of course, I believe you’ve heard some rumors about this. However, I will explain it to you personally. This Longevity Pill, as the name suggests, increases…”
Looking at the doubts in the eyes of the people in front of him, Gu Yu smiled slightly, thinking that the main event had finally arrived!
These hidden big bosses among the many small monsters held even more precious treasures!
If he could exchange treasures from these people, he would likely succeed in the exchange, unlike the treasures brought by others, which Gu Yu increasingly looked down upon.
And with the groundwork Gu Yu had laid by treating patients, everyone present, besides being shocked by his claim of a pill that could increase lifespan, did not suspect Gu Yu of lying.
After all, Gu Yu’s medical skills were evident!
Even if he could produce a pill that could increase lifespan, it would not be a rare thing.
Such precious medicine, no wonder those who had successfully exchanged were unwilling to say anything.
If it were them, they would also not spread the news but would keep quiet and not let others know.
They thought this way because Gu Yu had informed everyone in advance… that the quantity of Longevity Pills was limited, and each person’s upper limit was five.
This meant that with the scarce quantity of Longevity Pills, it was first come, first served, and those who were late would not get any!
Especially since Gu Yu only accepted treasures.
If someone could produce a treasure that caught Gu Yu’s eye, it was not impossible to take all the Longevity Pills!
At that time, wanting Longevity Pills would be several times more difficult than exchanging them from Gu Yu!
You wouldn’t even be able to buy it with money!
Therefore, even if they could only eat five pills, they could buy many more and then rip others off fiercely!
The plan was complete…
Thus, as these great collectors in the capital had this thought in their minds, they immediately agreed with Gu Yu to choose another time to visit.
As for now, they naturally had to go home and check their treasures to see how many Longevity Pills they could exchange for!
Gu Yu watched them leave with a smile the entire time. When no one was left in front of him, he burst into laughter, feeling very happy.
Let the treasures treasured by everyone come more fiercely!
This way, it would be worthy of his prior groundwork!
After all, he also had to bear the risk of the plan failing.
“Brother-in-law, why are you laughing so creepily! I just passed by here and was almost scared into turning back and running. I thought there was a ghost in broad daylight!”
“Scram, scram, scram. Your brother-in-law is happy today. Let’s have roast meat tonight!”
“What’s so good about roast meat? Come out with me to listen to gossip! It’s about you, brother-in-law, and the rumors are flying everywhere now!”
“???”
Afterward, when Gu Qingheng suddenly spoke, Gu Yu immediately stopped laughing and looked at his younger brother-in-law with curiosity, wondering why it was related to him.
