Chapter 64: Made a Joke
As soon as Lan Yuanzhi left, Lan Mo busied herself moving her luggage into the house, then began cleaning the room and making the bed. She would be staying here for at least three more months, so naturally, she had to tidy up properly.
Another hour passed in this busy work. After finishing, Lan Mo quickly locked the door from the inside and entered the space to take a quick bath.
After harvesting the crops in the field, Lan Mo flipped through the Crop List to see which crops would increase her Experience the fastest. She needed to seize the time to level up the space to level fifteen within this week.
Growing fruits gave more Experience than growing vegetables, but it took too long. After comparing back and forth, Lan Mo still felt that growing peanuts was more cost-effective. Not only was the time short, but the total Experience gained from harvesting was also much higher than growing apples or pears.
By the time she could harvest apples twice, she could have grown five or six rounds of peanuts. Of course, it was better to grow peanuts these days.
After planting the peanuts, she began flipping through her friend list to see if her luck had started to turn around.
Sure enough, her good fortune had returned. She first went to “Fake Heiress of a Wealthy Family” and stole over a thousand catties of strawberries, then went to “Little Medicine Boy of Taishang Laojun” and stole two hundred-year-old Fire Lingzhi.
Although these Fire Lingzhi were only a hundred years old, they were miraculous medicine for treating uterine cold and infertility.
If a woman doesn’t take good care of herself during her menstrual period, it can easily lead to uterine cold. She wasn’t cursing herself with infertility, but wasn’t it better to be prepared with some medicine just in case?
After harvesting the two Fire Lingzhi, Lan Mo felt extremely fortunate that she hadn’t been bitten by the Little Divine Pet raised by “Little Medicine Boy of Taishang Laojun.”
Now she was so excited she wanted to sing loudly, “Let’s sway together, sway together, forget all the pain and sway together…”
Then she went to “Medicine to Make You Look Good” and stole twenty catties of fresh Yangjinhua and ten catties of Huomazi Flower.
Yangjinhua is also called Mandala Flower, and they are excellent anesthetics. If you dry these two flowers in the shade, grind them into powder, add three grams to wine, and drink it, it can make a person drowsy.
She wondered if they could be mixed with water to make a spray. Wouldn’t that be a modern version of a secret weapon for women against wolves?
Next time, she could try catching an animal to experiment.
This “Medicine to Make You Look Good” was really strange. Besides growing the peculiar Mandala and Huomazi flowers, he also grew quite a bit of Duanchang Grass and Scorpion Tail Flower.
Just hearing the names of these herbal medicines, you could tell they were poisonous. Stealing medicine and accidentally poisoning yourself—this “Medicine to Make You Look Good” really lived up to its name, “making you look good”!
Lan Mo had no interest in when the Duanchang Grass and Scorpion Tail Flower would mature. What if she stole those two herbs and poisoned herself?
Then Lan Mo went to “Lives by the Sea and Meddles in Everything” and stole two tons of pineapples and three hundred Cannonball Fruit Sugar Palms.
The flesh inside was like jelly, white, tender, and very sweet. Lan Mo found it difficult to cut, so she sold all of it.
Stealing all the way, she managed to steal quite a few tropical fruits and various peculiar medicinal herbs.
Apart from the Yangjinhua, Huomazi Flower, and Fire Lingzhi, which Lan Mo decided to keep, she sold all the other medicinal herbs and fruits. This sale actually earned her 150,000 Gold Coins.
After planting peanuts and stealing “vegetables,” Lan Mo immediately went to find “Peerless Little Divine Doctor.”
[Peerless Little Divine Doctor, are you there?]
[…]
Seeing no reply, Lan Mo asked again, [Peerless Little Divine Doctor, are you there? I’ve brought gifts for your children.]
As soon as the children were mentioned, “Peerless Little Divine Doctor” quickly came online. [Little Pitiful, what gifts are you planning to give my children?]
Lan Mo directly packed the things she had prepared into a box and sent them over to her.
[Open it and take a look yourself!]
As soon as “Peerless Little Divine Doctor” received the large gift box sent by Lan Mo, she immediately opened it.
Huh, what are these colorful things in this large glass jar? And what are those black things in the other big jar?
And what’s in this small wooden box that looks so much like pastries? Could these things be snacks for children?
These thin strips are clearly beef jerky. Over here, we can’t even slaughter cattle, yet this Little Pitiful directly sent me a big bag of jerky—looks like at least ten pounds or so.
Just then, Lan Mo sent another message. “Peerless Little Divine Doctor, those colorful things are fruit candies. The little black squares are candies from foreign lands—they’re called chocolate.
The pastries in the large wooden box are called little cakes. As for the beef jerky, I don’t need to introduce it—you probably recognize it, right?
You can take these things now and let your children try them. If they like them, I’ll send you some more!”
When you eat someone’s food, your words soften. Bribing adults isn’t as effective as directly bribing her children.
Peerless Little Divine Doctor quickly typed on the screen: [Thank you, Little Pitiful! By the way, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Between us sisters, there’s no need for such formalities.]
Good, sister, I’ve been waiting for you to say that.
Lan Mo smiled and sent a message to “Peerless Little Divine Doctor.” [Peerless Little Divine Doctor, does your Yaowang Valley have any scar-removing ointment?]
[Are you talking about Yurong Ointment? Did someone in your family get disfigured?]
Why does it have to be her family member getting disfigured? Lan Mo thought for a moment and replied: [A friend!]
[Oh, I have Yurong Ointment! I also have Zhixue Shengji Powder. How about I give you a few of each? As for this Zhixue Shengji Powder, I don’t need to explain—as a physician, you should know when to use it, right?
That Yurong Ointment must only be applied after the wound has completely healed. Apply it for half a month, and the scar will quickly fade, leaving the skin as smooth as a peeled egg.]
[Thank you for the reminder, I understand! I’m also sending you a gift—remember to check it!]
Lan Mo pursed her lips and smiled, first unwrapping the packaging of various day and night sanitary pads, stacking them neatly one by one in a large wooden box, then quickly sending it over to Peerless Little Divine Doctor.
Soon, the other side received the gift box and sent a message back. [Little Pitiful, are these plump white things pastries for me? Why does it feel like biting into cotton when I take a bite?]
How could she send something so unpalatable?
This “Peerless Little Divine Doctor” is really something—without even asking, she just took a bite.
[Big sister, those are called sanitary pads. When you have your period, tear one open and stick it inside your underwear.]
This “Little Pitiful in the Sixties” is really something—sending such a gift without explaining it first.
She thought everything sent was food, so without a second thought, she took a bite. Luckily, she realized something was off in time and threw it away.
[Little Pitiful, thank you very much for playing such a trick on me.]
[You ancient people are so stubborn. Don’t speak too soon—this thing is really useful. Whoever uses it will benefit! If you don’t believe me, just wait and see…]
[“Then I’ll wait and see. The colorful fruit candies you sent my children, poor little thing, are much tastier than the candies we have here.
And that foreign dark candy called chocolate is a bit bitter, but the beef jerky you sent is incredibly fragrant and delicious. I couldn’t resist and just ate several pieces.”]
[“Alright, if you like it, I’ll send you another pack!”]
[“Sis, you’re truly straightforward! Then I’ll send you four bottles of Yurong Ointment and a large pack of Zhixue Shengji Powder. You can find glass bottles to divide it yourself. And I’ll also give you two bottles of Red Xiaoyao Pills, so you can be as happy as an immortal after marriage.”]
Red Xiaoyao Pills? Happy as an immortal? From the way she said it, could this so-called Free and Easy Pill be that kind of medicine?
Sis, are you really going that far? She’s not even married yet…
There’s still a large box of White Balloons in the Warehouse, and now two bottles of this kind of medicine. Does she look like someone who’s that desperate and impatient?
Ding-dong! The “Peerless Little Divine Doctor” quickly sent over the Gift Box prepared for Lan Mo.
Lan Mo opened the Gift Box and examined each of the medicines inside. This “Peerless Little Divine Doctor” really has some skills. The Yurong Ointment looks just like skincare products from their later era, with a faint, refreshing fragrance and an incredibly smooth texture. Once applied, it’s quickly absorbed by the skin.
This is how friends should be—exchanging gifts in return. After Lan Mo finished her work and left the space, knock, knock, knock! Someone soon tapped on her window.
“Doctor Lan, come out quickly! Hurry to the cafeteria to get food and water. If you go late, there’ll be nothing left.”
“Thank you, I’m coming…”
