Chapter 530: Can a placebo be considered a medicine?

"Wow! There's a monster!"

Didi, who was a little nervous at first, immediately screamed when she saw it, and hugged Mo Bingli's arm, unable to pull it away no matter how hard she tried.

"Don't be afraid, Didi. This is Qiqi, your brother. Don't be afraid..."

Mo Bingli comforted Didi softly, and then glared at the little monster angrily.

"Hey Hey……"

The little monster laughed under Mo Bingli's glare, and then took off the helmet on his head, revealing a strangely smiling face.

"Diti, you have beaten the hobgoblin and you have beaten the minotaur. These monsters are not as scary as this little monster? How could you be scared by such a thing?"

Xiu Yi asked quite puzzled.

"I, I..." Didi hesitated for a moment, then told the truth, "I'm not afraid of monsters alone, but the monsters hiding in the house..."

"Oh, I got it."

Xiu Yi nodded, then opened the storage space, seeming to be rummaging for something.

He has encountered players in similar situations. This type of players behave very bravely when encountering monsters alone, but under certain circumstances, they will be at a loss when they see mobs.

"Take it and you won't be afraid after drinking it."

After some rummaging, Xiu Yi quickly took out a transparent bottle without a label and handed it to Didi.

"What's this?"

Didi took the bottle and looked at it with curious eyes.

"Acamode Botledi Androdia Potion." A series of awkward syllables came out of Xiu Yi's mouth, "This is specially used to treat your situation. I prepared this just for the sake of

Just in case, I didn’t expect it to be useful.”

"Oh, oh..." Didi looked at the bottle in her hand, her eyes quickly became bright, and she asked in a rather expectant voice, "How do you drink this medicine?"

"Well, for this bottle, drink it in three sips. Within one minute, no more than two minutes. After drinking it, you will feel a little bloated, and that's right. If you feel a little bloated, it means the medicine has taken effect, and you can

I won’t be afraid anymore.”

Xiu Yi said this with a very serious expression on his face, like a doctor who was telling his patients to take medicine on time.

"Okay, Brother Xiuyi, I'll drink it right away."

Didi said, opened the bottle, tilted her head and took a big gulp. This piece was almost one-third of the amount.

The liquid in the bottle was a little cold, with a slightly sweet and sour taste. It was not unpleasant to drink. Didi made a gurgling swallowing sound in her throat and quickly swallowed it. After swallowing the first mouthful, Didi gasped.

After taking a few breaths, he raised his head again and took a big sip.

It needs to be divided into three sips and finished within two minutes. It feels a little bit much... The little girl usually drinks water in small sips. Such a bottle of drink is enough for her to drink for half a day under normal circumstances.

——Hey, Xiu Yi, Xiu Yi.

Seeing Didi drinking medicine, Mo Bingli quietly signed to Xiu Yi.

--What's wrong?

Since the two were face to face, Mo Bingli's sign language naturally fell into Xiu Yi's eyes. Xiu Yi immediately responded with sign language.

——What did you give Didi to drink? Why does it smell like lemon jelly tea?

Mo Bingli was right next to Didi. As soon as Didi opened the bottle, she smelled the lemon-fruit aroma wafting out of the bottle.

——Not only does it smell like lemon jelly tea.

Xiu Yi's sign language was very fast and very secretive.

——You, you just lied to Didi like this? What should I do if it doesn’t work for her after drinking it?

Mo Bingli's eyes widened, Xiu Yi's sign language left her speechless.

——No, it will definitely work. Do you know about placebo?

Xiu Yi was confident.

——Placebo? You know a little bit, that is, giving people fake medicine and then saying it is real medicine, this kind of thing?

It can be seen from Mo Bingli's sign language that she has many questions.

——Yes, it is this kind of "pretend to be real". Didi is actually not afraid, she just needs a reason not to be afraid, a little psychological suggestion. It is best to use a placebo.

After Xiu Yi finished signing, he gave a thumbs up to indicate that it was okay.

There have always been several fallacies among players. Among the widely circulated fallacies, one is how to use ghosts to scare witches who specialize in necromancy spells? After all, witches who specialize in necromancy spells deal with them every day.

The ghosts are either skeletons or dead souls. When it comes to things like ghosts, there are no skeletons, but the dead souls are scary. But there are witches who are really scared by ghosts...

Didi will not be lenient at all when dealing with monsters. Before entering the underground world, she, Qi Qi and Mo Bingli beat rat men, sword spiders, and various sewer specialties. She could beat them.

She was very happy. After entering the underground world, she also beat up a lot of cavemen, gray dwarves, minotaurs... various aboriginal people in the underground world. At that time, she didn't see her shouting "fear" or anything else.

This shows that Didi is actually not afraid. The underground passages are dark and the underground caves are dark. Didi never said she was afraid before, which means she does not have claustrophobia or anything like that.

It's not because you're afraid of the monster, nor because you're afraid of the environment. But the combination of the two creates a sense of fear. At this time, you only need a little psychological suggestion to successfully overcome this fear.

"Xiu Yi, is this really okay?"

Although she had confirmed it with sign language, Mo Bingli was still a little worried.

"Well... it's just 'that' anyway," Xiu Yi added an accent to the word "that", "I think you can ask after you go offline, it's best to go and take a look..."

--Psychologist.

Xiu Yi completed the words in sign language.

"It makes sense. Anyway, it's Ning...'that', no problem."

Mo Bingli thought for a while and nodded silently.

Before Didi said she was scared, Mo Bingli had never thought that Didi would be in this situation. And Xiu Yi's current method was somewhat psychological, so it was better to talk to Didi's parents to be on the safe side. Of course,

The most important thing is for them to take Didi to see a psychiatrist.

The lemon jelly tea given by Xiu Yi was only about 500 ml. According to Xiu Yi's instructions, divide it into three large sips and drink it within two minutes. Didi quickly poured the entire bottle of lemon jelly tea into her stomach.

After drinking 500 ml of drink in a short period of time, Didi's belly became a little swollen as expected. But with such swelling, Didi immediately felt much better.

"Diti, how do you feel? Are you still scared?"

Mo Bingli asked with concern.

"Uh... Wu, eh!? Sister Bingli, this medicine is very effective!"

Didi put down the bottle, cautiously stuck her head out and looked inside the building a few times, and then happily jumped out from behind Mo Bingli.

"Effective?" Mo Bingli was stunned, and then a bit of an awkward smile appeared on her face, "As long as it works, as long as it works..."

If Didi is afraid of anything in the future, she will drink a bottle of lemon jelly tea? This, this seems, probably, seems to be no big problem? But... to be on the safe side, let’s go see a doctor!

Mo Bingli's eyes naturally drifted forward, and then she saw Xiu Yi, who also had a strange look on his face.

——This...the effect seems to be a bit too good! I didn't expect it either!

Xiu Yi noticed Mo Bingli's gaze and quickly explained in sign language.

——Forget it, this problem doesn’t seem to be a big one. But I still want Didi to see a psychiatrist.

Mo Bingli's awkward smile turned into a dumbfounding one as her sign language changed.

——Yes! That’s right! You still need to see a psychiatrist!

Xiu Yi applauded Mo Bingli's idea.

He didn't expect Didi to be so "easy to cheat". The effect of lemon jelly tea was a bit too good!

Didi took the lead and walked into the three-story building in front of her, and then repeatedly waved to the people behind her to hurry up.

The space inside the building is quite large, and there is a complete open space under the large ceiling. Judging from the scattered furnishings and things scattered on the ground, this building seems to have a certain training function.

Xiuyi knew the structure of this building well. He led some people around a few turns and walked straight to the "guest room area" of the building.

There are many rooms in the guest room area, and there are stairs leading to the second floor. Although the exterior wall of the building is seriously damaged, the guest room area is quite well preserved, and you can still see a few growing shrubs.

The four of them quickly chose a room with a large courtyard and settled down.

The courtyard of this room is large enough to allow Amo and the Cryptozoon to come in. At the same time, this room also has a well. Qiqi tried it and soon fetched a bucket full of water. Obviously this

The well is connected to an underground river. And outside the yard, an open river from the underground world is flowing quietly.

Not only can it provide shelter from wind and rain, but it also has water, making it undoubtedly the most suitable place for camping.

As usual, Xiu Yi picked up some dilapidated wooden boards and lit a bonfire, and then began to prepare the previously promised "gem feast" in an orderly manner.

"This place... is pretty good? And it's a deserted place." Mo Bingli sat by the bonfire, stretched out her legs and pressed lightly, "If a guild takes over this place, it should be pretty good.

Bar?"

"here?"

Xiu Yi looked up and then his eyes returned to the big pot in front of him.

He was sorting through the gems and jewelry in the pot. Not all of the gems and jewelry in such a big pot could be eaten. The edible ones and the inedible ones must be separated.

"Why, don't you think this place is good?"

Xiu Yi said nothing, but Mo Bingli saw a bit of disapproval from his raising his head.

"It's good, but it's too far from the ground. Without mastering the complete fixed-point transmission technology, it's not easy to stay here for a long time."

Xiu Yi was picking and choosing while chatting with Mo Bingli.

"Why, what's so difficult about this? Don't you just need a place to stay? When you go online, go out and fight monsters. When you're tired, come back and rest. When you go offline, it's right here. There are so many people here, so there's nothing unsafe."

Mo Bingli was a little puzzled. She didn't understand Xiu Yi's difficulty at all. Because in traditional virtual games in the past, many outpost missions and battlefield missions looked like this.

"Then... what about the daily food?" Xiu Yi asked the first question, "We are small, and our mounts don't have more than ten mouths, but do you think we have collected the food? Underground World

There are very few safe zones in the city. If you are not in a safe zone, you cannot purchase food directly through the system. Even though one person may not eat much, when there are more people, the daily food consumption is a huge amount."
