Chapter 70: Chapter 69 Oh no, sothing bad happened again
“`
“Ah?” Qu Tong was taken aback, a guess forming in her heart.
“Alright, enough talk. My brother still needs soone to watch over him. Let’s add each other on our optical brains, and I’ll personally thank you the day after tomorrow.”
“No need. It’s just a trivial matter,” Qu Tong waved her hand dismissively.
“Well then,” Cheng Yao didn’t insist and jogged off to catch up with the doctor.
No sooner had Cheng Yao left than Qu Tong’s number was called.
Qu Tong, without ti to think further, pushed the door open and entered.
Qu Tong had intended to buy more, but was inford that each person could only purchase two boxes per month.
And indeed, the price of this hemostatic dicine was high, a small box costing fifty thousand Star Coins.
However, she was no longer the pitiable character she used to be, spending a hundred thousand Star Coins without even batting an eye.
Nonetheless, the balance in her account wasn’t much either.
After the next batch of dicine sales went through, she planned to buy herself a flying vehicle first.

The Sixth Army Corps’ garrison
“Zhao Qian, wait a mont.”
Just as Zhao Qian stepped out of the office, he was stopped by his regint commander, sowhat confused.
Feng Lin walked up to him, patting Zhao Qian’s shoulder casually, “The Energy Liquid you gave
last ti, get
a few more bottles.”
“Ah? What Energy Liquid? When did I give you Energy Liquid?”
Zhao Qian’s face was a picture of bewildernt, completely unable to recall such an event.
“Just the other day, during the internship for the graduates, the two bottles I took from your desk.”
After being reminded like this, Zhao Qian rembered.
“Where did you buy that dicine? Tell , I want to get so for myself.”
Such a good dicine; if used properly, it can double the efficacy. It would be best to stock up several large boxes of it.
Zhao Qian felt uneasy under his own regint commander’s gaze and took a half-step back before replying, “None left. That was given by an intern from the First Military Academy during their internship. Just two bottles, and I’ve given both to you.”
“Is the effect really that good?” Zhao Qian was skeptical.
He had thought it was so off-brand Energy Liquid, unlabelled, and he hadn’t paid it much attention.
Feng Lin nodded gravely.
“The effect is better than the supplies provided by our legion. I’ve never seen any dicine that could restore so much spiritual power—it’s almost half of my peak condition.”
Zhao Qian was startled, half of his spiritual power restored!
What did that an?!
He knew that once spiritual power was consud, it was challenging to recover in a short amount of ti. The quality of the Energy Liquid supplied by their military was already considered top-notch, but it could only restore about 10% of spiritual power and was mainly used for physical recovery.
Moreover, this stuff couldn’t be used excessively. Only three bottles a day, or it could damage the Spirit Sea.
With continuous consumption over a short period, the effect would diminish.
Never did he imagine that an intern who seed so unremarkable could produce such quality goods, and judging by his attitude at the ti, it appeared as if Energy Liquid was nothing out of the ordinary for him.
“I’ve added him on my optical brain, I’ll ask if he has any left,” Zhao Qian said, a tad excitedly.
“Also, ask him where he bought it. Be polite,” Feng Lin instructed.
Seeing Feng Lin attach such importance to it, Zhao Qian promptly agreed.
Zhao Qian had only taken a few steps before turning back, rubbing his hands together and smiling obsequiously, “So boss, since you used such precious Energy Liquid of mine, isn’t there so compensation for ?”
Feng Lin huffed lightly, “With such a treasure in hand, you didn’t think to offer it to your superior proactively, and you’re asking for compensation?”
“`
Zhao Qian realized he had no chance, turned his head, and muttered disdainfully, “If I’d known they were so effective, would I have let you have them for such a cheap price?”
Though Feng Lin didn’t hear exactly what Zhao Qian was muttering, he could tell by his expression that it was nothing nice. He gave him a sharp look: “Looking for a fight, are you?”
“How could I? I’m off to do so real work now.” He lifted his foot and headed back to the office.
anwhile,
Xu An, sitting on the spaceship arranged by the school to return to the institution, showed no surprise at the incoming communication. Instead, he felt an inevitable sense of this mont would co eventually.
The day after he completed the mission and was resting midway, he drank the Energy Liquid and realized, “Oh no! Trouble again…”
He also profoundly understood sothing—one should never casually give away any dicinal concoctions his sister gave him, even if she claid they were worthless.
When Xu An answered the communication, he heard an excited voice from the other end, “Xu An, have you guys returned to the academy?”
“On the way,” answered Xu An.
“Seems like you have quite a distance to go back,” Zhao Qian tried to make conversation.
Xu An sighed and said candidly, “Deputy Commander Zhao, do you need sothing? Just be straightforward.”
“Ahem!” Zhao Qian, feeling exposed, coughed awkwardly.
“Haha, I just wanted to ask if you still have so of that concoction you gave
before?”
“No more left.” Xu An had his answer prepared and said it very decisively.
Even if there was so, he would say there wasn’t.
“Oh, then, Xu An, could you tell
where you bought it?” Zhao Qian’s voice was cautious.
Xu An, rembering Zhao Qian’s kindness and the extra Purified at he had shared over the past couple of days, felt that saying “it’s inconvenient” would be too cold.
So he made up an excuse: “I stumbled upon it in the black market in the east of the city. There were only a few bottles and they’re all used up now.”
Xu An had decided that if the other party continued to ask who he had gotten it from, he would just pin the bla on Brother Liang, seeing as he had often bought strange and curious concoctions from him over the years.
But Zhao Qian just solemnly thanked him and hung up the call.
Xu An let out a sigh of relief.
Zhao Qian turned around and imdiately disclosed the information he had acquired to Feng Lin.
Feng Lin tapped on the back of his chair, saying leisurely, “No rush, my nephew will have so days off soon, I’ll have him take a look for us.”
“Commander, just grant
so leave and I can go right now, why wait for your nephew?” offered Zhao Qian.
“Sure, how long do you want? One year or ten years? Shall I arrange your retirent procedures too?” Feng Lin spoke with an indifferent tone.
Zhao Qian’s face fell: “Never mind, then.”
Xu An glanced at the communications device. The ssage he had sent his sister the day before was still lying there silently, with no reply.
He couldn’t help but worry a bit.
Just as he was contemplating, the communicator rang again—it was his sister.
“Bro, when will you arrive?” As soon as the communication was connected, Qu Tong’s voice ca through.
“I won’t arrive until tomorrow noon; I can’t accompany you to the opening ceremony.”
On the other side, Qu Tong crunched an apple without a care and said, “Why would I need you to accompany ? Just co find
after you’ve rested up when you arrive.”
“Sure,” Xu An didn’t refuse. After being on edge for half a month, he indeed needed a good sleep.
“By the way, I couldn’t find the cherry tree you asked for, but I heard from an upperclassman that there is one in our academy’s Botany Departnt’s garden, though it doesn’t bear fruit.”
“Got it, thanks,” he said.
Whether it bore fruit or not was irrelevant; he just needed a branch.
He just wasn’t sure if outsiders were allowed into their botanical garden.
