Cocolite reached out and took the Enhancement Talisman. Although she did not know what it was, her trust in Yang Ming was absolute.
Rolling up her sleeve, Cocolite pressed the Enhancement Talisman against her wrist.
In an instant, a faint blue light enveloped her.
“Ah! What is this?” At that moment, the members of the Church of the Goddess of Light standing behind Yang Ming involuntarily widened their eyes.
“A Holy Talisman? Is this a Holy Talisman?” Anna was even more astonished, covering her mouth.
Anna recognized this item. She had been fortunate enough to see one at an auction in a major city of a certain kingdom, and a single Holy Talisman like this could sell for five gold coins.
What did a single Gold Coin represent? It could buy two beautiful, flower-like young catgirl slave girls in the prime of their youth.
In this world, there were three currencies in circulation: gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins.
Among them, 100 copper coins equaled 1 Silver Coin, and 100 silver coins equaled 1 Gold Coin.
“Lord, you just gave her something so precious?” Anna could not help asking.
Anna silently screamed in her heart: This is a Holy Talisman! A treasure worth five gold coins! And he actually gave it to someone as casually as throwing away trash?!
Yang Ming glanced back at her and smiled faintly.
“What is so strange about that? Any residents of my Huaxia City, as long as their contribution is great enough, can enjoy similar treatment.”
Upon hearing this, a thought involuntarily arose in Anna’s heart: If I could join this place, wouldn’t I be able to…?
But Anna quickly rejected the thought, shaking her head vigorously. No, I can’t. I cannot betray the Goddess of Light.
At that moment, Cocolite finished using the Enhancement Talisman.
Compared with Chen Jian and Zhang Lingfeng, Cocolite’s enhancement lasted longer.
Cocolite’s attribute panel had also been completely transformed.
【Name】: Cocolite.
【Occupation】: blacksmith.
【Quality tier】: fine grade.
【Combat power】: 24.
【Potential】: five-star.
【Talent】: Craftsman’s Pure Heart（Grade A. Her love for forging weapons was like her devotion to her first love and moonlight in her heart, lasting until death. Her success rate at forging weapons was twenty times that of ordinary people, and there was also a certain probability of advancing a weapon.）
“Five-star potential?” Yang Ming was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. This Soldier Enhancement Talisman had not been wasted.
Cocolite possessed five-star potential, which meant that as long as she was properly cultivated, she could eventually become a Perfect-Grade Quality blacksmith.
“Lord, thank you for giving me something so precious.” Cocolite bowed to Yang Ming and thanked him repeatedly.
Although Cocolite was young, she was not foolish. She clearly understood how greatly her body had changed during that minute.
Yang Ming patted her little head and encouraged her.
“You’ve worked for so long today. Take a bath and get some rest. I’ll have someone bring you some food later.”
A warm current welled up in Cocolite’s heart, and she said gratefully.
“Understood, lord.”
……
Afterward, Yang Ming left the blacksmith shop and headed for the medical hall with Anna and the others.
The medical hall was one of the most important buildings in the territory. It had been provided at the start, and after undergoing three upgrades, its floor area had also increased considerably.
It was more than spacious enough to accommodate Anna and the others.
Yang Ming pointed at the medical hall and said to Anna.
“You’ll live here from now on. I’ll have someone bring the food over later.”
Anna immediately expressed her gratitude.
“Thank you, great lord.”
Yang Ming waved his hand.
“There’s no need to thank me. I’m not letting you eat and live here for free. During this period, you’ll be responsible for healing the injured people in the territory.”
Anna clenched her fist against her chest and solemnly swore.
“I swear by my loyalty to the Goddess of Light that I will do everything in my power to heal all the injured.”
After receiving her assurance, Yang Ming left the medical hall.
However, when he left, Yang Ming also conveniently took the two twin little cooks with him.
The opening of the medical hall soon spread throughout the territory.
“What? I heard that lord recruited a miracle doctor who can even heal severed hands and feet?”
“Really? The last time I fought the Sky-Horned Azure Bull, it broke one of my legs. Does that mean I still have hope of recovering?”
“Help me up and take me to see the doctor.”
“One of my eyes has been blind since birth. Can that be healed too? I want to go take a look as well.”
After the news spread, it quickly caused a sensation. Before long, a line of dozens of people had formed outside the medical hall.
The first person to enter the medical hall was a warrior. One of his legs had been bitten off by the Sky-Horned Azure Bull, and because there was no medicine available, the wound on his leg had already begun to fester and rot.
“Um… can an injury this severe really be healed?” The warrior looked extremely nervous, and his speech became incoherent.
If he did not receive treatment soon, he would most likely die from an infected wound.
Anna, dressed in a white robe, looked like a white-clad angel—beautiful and holy. She pointed at an empty bed and said.
“It can. Just lie down on the bed.”
The warrior nervously lay down.
“Please, Doctor, save me. I don’t want to return to that lightless prison.” He begged her.
Yang Ming had Summoned him from the Dark Prison. If he died, he would be forcibly sent back there.
How could someone who had seen the light endure the darkness again?
“Relax. Everything will be fine.” Anna comforted him.
Then Anna extended her hand—a pair of jade-like hands as white as snow.
Talent: holy light healing, activate!
The next second, a strand of holy light blossomed in Anna’s palm. Mixed with pure life energy, it flowed downward and gradually enveloped the injured man’s thigh.
A miraculous scene occurred.
The wound that had already festered and rotted began healing at a visible rate, while a new thigh rapidly grew back.
“Am I dreaming? …It really can be healed? My leg has grown back?” the injured man said incredulously.
Anna smiled gently.
“You’re not dreaming. You can try running at full speed on both legs again.”
Feeling the strength coursing through both legs, he was overwhelmed with emotion. He immediately climbed out of bed, knelt on the ground, and said excitedly.
“Thank you so much for saving my life, Miss white-clad angel.”
“Angel?” Anna froze upon hearing the title.
No one had ever addressed her that way before.
Could a mortal also become a lofty angel?
After seeing off the first patient, Anna hurried to treat the next injured person without pause.
……
【Ding~ You have one unclaimed item.】
On the way back to the lord’s Manor, Yang Ming suddenly heard the system’s notification.
When he opened the message, he discovered that it was the town construction blueprint Zhang Wei had sent over.
Zhang Wei sent a message.
“Big shot Yang Ming, according to your requirements, I did my best to draw the blueprint perfectly. Whether it’s the defense system, drainage system, industrial district, or residential district… everything has been arranged clearly.”
“Thanks.” Yang Ming accepted the blueprint and sent a reply.
Yang Ming glanced at the contents of the blueprint. He had to admit that its design was perfect, and its level of refinement was in no way inferior to the scale of a first-tier city.
“Tomorrow, we’ll launch a major infrastructure project!”
