Chapter 14: Friends from All Realms Send Gifts
Lan Mo first placed all the gifts she received back in her room. After bathing and changing into her pajamas, she returned to her room and entered the space.
Lan Mo clicked on her number on the display screen and posted a status update: 【Today is my twentieth birthday—celebrating with friends from myriad realms!】
Beep, beep, beep!
A message arrived from “Peerless Little Divine Doctor”: 【Poor Little Modern Girl, is today your twentieth birthday? I’m a full two days older than you!】
A full two days older? Was this person a fool? They weren’t even in the same realm—how could age be compared like that?
Besides, judging by her real profile picture, her hair was adorned with golden hairpins, and her attire suggested she was either from ancient times or the Cultivation World.
【Peerless Little Divine Doctor, which continent and dynasty are you in?】
【The Great Qing Dynasty…】
Alright, they were on the same Earth, but she was in the Great Qing Dynasty.
【Oh, Peerless Little Divine Doctor, are you really a divine doctor?】
【Of course! My grandfather is the master of the Divine Doctor Valley. Since it’s your birthday today, I’ll gift you a bottle of detox pills I made myself, two bottles of Hundred Flowers Honey Dew Pills, and a few human skin masks I recently crafted. How does that sound?】
【Thank you!】
This “Poor Little Modern Girl” dared to underestimate her? Well, she’d show her what she was capable of.
The detox pills she made could cure hundreds of poisons and were priceless. The Hundred Flowers Honey Dew Pills nourished the skin and enhanced beauty, sought after by everyone from palace concubines to noblewomen and young ladies.
Hah, this little divine doctor was truly unique—giving detox pills and human skin masks as birthday gifts.
Ding-dong! A gift box arrived!
Lan Mo opened the box and saw that the medicine bottles weren’t ceramic but small jade vials!
It seemed she might really be a little divine doctor, but the human skin masks she sent were so lifelike they were almost frightening—they nearly scared her away. The other two bottles of liquid were probably for applying and removing the masks, right? She’d have to carefully decipher the traditional characters on the medicine bottles.
Lan Mo quickly stored the gifts from “Peerless Little Divine Doctor.” Since she had received so much, she ought to return the favor.
Lan Mo swiftly extracted two thousand catties of paddy rice from the Warehouse, added five catties of dried tangerine peel, packed them together, and sent them over.
【Peerless Little Divine Doctor, I noticed your fields are all planted with herbal medicine, so I’m sending you some grains and five catties of aged tangerine peel, several decades old.】
“Peerless Little Divine Doctor” opened the gift box, took out a piece of dried tangerine peel, and sniffed it.
【Poor Little Modern Girl, this dried tangerine peel is at least fifty years old. Thank you—you’ve helped me immensely. My little rascal’s chronic lung cough just won’t get better.】
This dried tangerine peel was fifty years old? It seemed this was medicine her grandfather had stored away. She had thought it was only twenty years old.
Could the aged tangerine peel also be fifty years old?
She was about to strike it rich!
But the mugwort was probably twenty years old—if it had been stored for decades, it would have turned to dust by now.
【You already have children at twenty?】
【Yes, I have three children. My husband is a young prince.】
Three children at twenty? Here she was, twenty years old, without even a partner. In her previous life, she died at twenty-eight without ever having been in a relationship. She really was pitiful.
Lan Mo suddenly recalled the man she had encountered twice during the day. He was so handsome! Exactly her type. His skin wasn’t as pale as Doctor Lu’s, but he seemed even more refined.
Ding-dong!
Another gift box exploded on the screen—this time from “Home Has Mine, Heart Not Panicked.”
Lan Mo clicked to see—it was actually two one-carat diamonds.
[Auntie, happy birthday! Although I didn’t get to eat the pea cake you bought, this Malt Extract Milk Powder really has a nostalgic feel—fragrant, sweet, and absolutely delicious. I’m sending you these two small diamonds as a birthday gift.]
One-carat diamonds are considered small? Just giving them away like that—truly a major mine owner.
Where should she have these diamonds set?
Forget it, better save them for her future children!
Lan Mo then took out two jin of aged tangerine peel and two jin of dried tangerine peel from the sack and sent them to “Home Has Mine, Heart Not Panicked.”
Originally, she had planned to send five jin of each, but considering it was fifty-year-old stock, she decided on two jin each instead. With three sacks each, it really wasn’t much.
[Little Grandson, I’ve sent you fifty-year-old dried tangerine peel and aged tangerine peel, two jin of each as a return gift.]
[Auntie, fifty-year-old dried tangerine peel is worth quite a bit! This stuff is really hard to find overseas. Thank you so much! Auntie, if you need anything, just call me. I’m going to take this dried tangerine peel and aged tangerine peel to my old man now.]
A thirty-year-old man calling a twenty-year-old girl “Auntie”—this “Home Has Mine, Heart Not Panicked” is also a bit of a blockhead.
Thinking about it, she’s still young but already has a grandson—the feeling isn’t bad at all.
[Alright, you go ahead!]
[Auntie, happy birthday, goodbye!]
Ding-dong! Ding-dong!…
These people are way too enthusiastic. Knowing it was her birthday today, over a dozen friends sent her gifts. Since there were so many gift-givers, she sent each of them one jin of fifty-year-old dried tangerine peel as a return gift.
There was no other way—she was just too poor right now and couldn’t offer anything else.
Many people had grains, but as for other things, her level simply wasn’t high enough.
Although she had five hundred friends from myriad realms, many of them hadn’t spoken to her because of her low level.
Still, having over a dozen friends from myriad realms send her gifts was already pretty good. She was absolutely thrilled today.
Lan Mo hurried to the Warehouse to sort through the gifts. “Little Useless in the Cultivation World” had actually sent her over a hundred twenty-year-old ginseng plants.
Lan Mo seriously suspected that these ginseng plants were medicinal herbs that “Little Useless in the Cultivation World” didn’t want, probably because she looked down on the shallow age of the ginseng.
After all, the ginseng in her monster’s food bowl were all fifty-year-old, and her Black Land had a large patch of century-old ginseng that would mature in three days.
The ginseng in those three purple plots were five hundred years old, but they would take a year to mature.
“Lose Weight, Get Fatter, Little Chubby Girl” sent her a one-pound cheesecake, along with quite a few breads, doughnuts, egg tarts, red cream puffs, cookies…
Many people, seeing her low level and the space’s house still being a Small Wooden House, sent her pots, pans, bowls, utensils, various small appliances, and furniture, urging her to quickly decorate the space’s Small Wooden House.
“Flower Field Grandfather” also sent her four pots of peonies—Bean Green, Yao Yellow, Wei Purple, and Zhao Pink—along with several pots of orchids, telling her to make the Small Wooden House look nicer.
The one called “Silk Tycoon” sent her several bolts of gorgeous fabric, though unfortunately, she couldn’t use them right now.
The funniest was someone who sent her a large box of condoms, wishing her a “happy sex life”!
What kind of “happy sex life” nonsense is that?
Is she someone who lacks a box of white balloons?
What she lacks right now is a real man, okay?
Couldn’t they send something more practical? Like sanitary pads, toilet paper, shampoo, body wash…
Oh no, her period is coming the day after tomorrow. Huh, what’s in this Gift Box?
Oh my! Could it be that her wish had actually come true?
No sooner had she thought of something than it appeared. This Gift Box not only contained two large boxes of sanitary pads and toilet paper, but also over a dozen bottles of body wash and shampoo.
Apart from these daily necessities, the Gift Box was also filled with plenty of candies, biscuits, chocolates, and beef jerky. Even various cooking seasonings were included, with six bottles each of soybean oil and peanut oil sent to her as well.
After celebrating her birthday, her luck was truly overflowing!
This most practical big Gift Box was sent by a place called “Guoguo’s Chain Department Store.” It seemed this person’s family ran a chain supermarket.
Indeed, the wealthier people were, the more generous they became. Once she made a fortune, she would also do more good deeds.
As she kept unpacking the Gift Box, the gifts that followed were either medicinal herbs, fruits, and fresh flowers, or some strange seeds. However, someone also gave her a small tricycle and a 26-inch women’s bicycle.
But if this bicycle without a stamped serial number got stolen, it probably wouldn’t be recoverable, right?
Should she think of a way to ask Dad to stamp a serial number on the bicycle?
After unpacking the Gift Box, Lan Mo hurried to harvest the rice in the field and then planted rice again.
After planting the rice, she scrolled through her list of 500 friends to see who was offline, then visited their space to see if there was anything she could “steal.”
This kept her busy until midnight. The next morning, Lan Mo didn’t wake up until seven o’clock.
“Oh no, oh no, I’m going to be late!”
Lan Mo quickly freshened up, grabbed her bicycle, and was about to rush out.
“Momo, what’s wrong with you? No matter how urgent it is, you should finish your breakfast before leaving.”
“Mom, I won’t eat breakfast today. I’ll figure something out when I get to the hospital. If we’re late, we’ll get fined, and there goes this month’s bonus.”
“Here, take two eggs to eat. We bought thirty eggs yesterday, and your grandma sent over another fifty. Our family won’t run short of eggs for a while, so don’t skimp on eating.”
“Thanks, Mom!”
There were plenty of delicious treats from friends in the space, but unfortunately, none of those things could be taken out right now. Oh no, her period was coming soon—what should she do about those sanitary pads?
Would she have to go into the space to change them?
Time to level up! Once the Space Farm reaches level ten, her family can start enjoying the benefits along with her!
