Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed. “It’s all the wisdom of our predecessors. I just happened to see it.”

Gongsun Zhongjing straightened his expression. “Actually, I came this time with a presumptuous request.”

Xiaoxiao nodded and gestured for him to speak. She poured him a cup of hot cold tea. Gongsun Zhongjing drank it all in one gulp. “I won’t beat around the bush. I’ve already applied for the effect of that Anesthesia Powder. It’s indeed the same as the rumors, or even better. I want to ask…” He poured himself another cup, as if the tea could strengthen his courage. “Can I buy this prescription?”

Xiaoxiao propped her chin on her hand and asked, “Why did you want to buy it?”

Gongsun Zhongjing said, “It’s a pity that I’m the only one who knows such a prescription. I want to teach it to others so that more people can learn it and benefit from it. Also, Miss Ning might not know about the Shadowless Lamp. This lamp is extremely important to doctors!”

Many people died because they could not be treated in time, but injuries to their lives were unexpected. How could they have a chance to choose night or day?

Xiaoxiao waited patiently for him to finish speaking before saying, “Alright, I agree, but you have to let me set the price.”

Gongsun Zhongjing did not hesitate. “I have no objections!”

Xiaoxiao smiled and stretched out her hand. “Then please give me two coins. One copper coin for the Anesthesia Powder and one copper coin for the Shadowless Lamp.”

Gongsun Zhongjing was stunned. “What did you say?” Then, he slowly realized that if Xiaoxiao had the intention to hide them, why would she give these two things to him without thinking? Miss Ning could open a shop and work with an unscrupulous businessman like Li Muyan. How could she not see the business opportunity of Anesthesia Powder and Shadowless Lamp?

He stood up again and said solemnly, “Gongsun Zhongjing was too narrow-minded. I admire Miss Ning’s magnanimity. These two coins will be sent over as soon as possible. Gongsun Zhongjing thanks Miss on behalf of himself and the people in the world who are about to owe you a favor!”

Xiaoxiao accepted this bow calmly in case Gongsun Zhongjing felt guilty and invited him to stay for a meal.

It was very difficult to reject this request. Gongsun Zhongjing did not intend to make things difficult for himself. Since he was already here, he would finalize the details of the surgery.

Miss Ning was very talented in medicine. Many of her suggestions were of great reference value. Under her inspiration, the possibility of successfully treating Xiao Ran increased greatly again. In their discussion and preparation, everyone chose a sunny day to give Xiao Ran the Anesthesia Powder that had been adjusted and determined.

[Baby, time to work.]

The system was also energetic. [Don’t worry, Master. Food… System scanning…]

Xiao Ran’s situation was different from Old Madam Li’s. Although her life was not in danger, she was Xiaoxiao’s important relative. She could not maintain her calm, so she simply asked the system to be on standby.

The arrowhead in Xiao Ran’s flesh was indeed extremely troublesome. In terms of difficulty, it was even more complicated than Old Madam Li’s situation.

Gongsun Zhongjing was fully focused. He had done his homework these few days and rehearsed the possible situations he might face several times, so he was still methodical at this moment.

Moreover, Xiaoxiao was already proficient as an assistant, so he could achieve twice the result with half the effort. Seeing that the sun was about to set, Xiaoxiao quickly brought over the second bowl of Anesthesia Powder and lit the Shadowless Lamp that she had prepared long ago.

Gongsun Zhongjing’s eyes were filled with surprise, but it was only for a short moment. After blinking to relieve his fatigue, he looked at his patient again and was about to continue operating when he suddenly heard Xiaoxiao say, “I’m feeding my mother Anesthesia Powder. Doctor Gongsun, eat that biscuit on the table.”

The biscuit was very small and would not break off when stuffed into his mouth. Gongsun Zhongjing knew that he indeed needed to replenish his strength. He did not say anything else and quickly stuffed this biscuit that did not look like it could fill his stomach into his mouth.

Something strange happened. It was clearly just a small piece, but Gongsun Zhongjing felt inexplicably full.

He suspected that he was hallucinating from hunger, but this was obviously not the time to investigate. After drinking a simple cup of tea, Gongsun Zhongjing washed his hands. Coincidentally, Xiaoxiao had also finished feeding her mother the medicine. The two of them continued to work together and spent the night in the blink of an eye.

The situation with the arrowhead was more complicated. To think that Xiaoxiao thought of a way to remind him. Fortunately, it did not hurt her too much. Gongsun Zhongjing’s medical skills were extraordinary, and Xiaoxiao also found an opportunity to exchange for anti-inflammatory medicine from the mall for Xiao Ran to take. The two of them guarded for another night. Xiao Ran’s temperature was a little high, and her wound was bleeding. Gongsun Zhongjing was busy changing her dressing and debriding her wound. Xiaoxiao also stayed behind to lower her mother’s temperature.

Xiao Ran only felt that she had simply slept. When she woke up for the first time, there was a numbing pain in her legs. Her daughter with dark eye circles had a smile on her face. “Mother, I’ll wait for you to recover and show me the Xiao Family’s spear techniques!”

She knew that it was done.

Something warm slid into the pillow from the corner of her eye. Xiao Ran seemed to hear Gu Chang’an’s sobs.

“Finally…”

Xiaoxiao was also very tired after helping Gongsun Zhongjing.

After leaving her mother in Father’s care, she plunged into her room. She couldn’t even be bothered to take a shower. She wiped her face a few times, laid on the pillow, and fell asleep.

In her sleep, she heard a happy notification from the space: [Master, your current total points are 115,680. Your current space’s level is 19. Do you want to upgrade?]

Xiaoxiao shuddered and forced herself to be energetic. [I will! I must!]

If she remembered correctly, there were hidden rewards for every 10th level!

The space started to ring happily—

[Upgrade successful. Current space level: Level 20.]

[The time flow in the farmland has increased. The current time flow is 20 times faster!]

[The time flow in the ranch has increased. The current speed is 20 times!]

[Time flow in the water has increased. The current speed is 20 times!]

[Time Hut’s current adjustable speed is plus or minus 20 times!]

[Range Control ability upgraded!]

[The Space Exchange Mall category is updated.]

[New function acquired: Spatial projection. The projection range is 20×20.]

[You have received a brocade pouch for leveling up. Current total points are 15,680.]

[Master, do you want to open the brocade pouch?]

Xiaoxiao tried her best to widen her eyes. [Open!]

[The brocade pouch has been activated. You have received a stage space reward. Host, please choose the reward content—]

[One, 1×1 ranch speed times 10.]

[Two, 1×1 water speed times 10.]

[Three, NPC projection.]

[Four, Hidden reward.]

Xiaoxiao, who wanted to choose the fourth reward, turned her attention to the third reward out of curiosity. She asked the space: [What does NPC projection mean?]

The space projected a few workers in uniform in the room and explained to her with their actions.

Xiaoxiao was shocked at first, but the more she looked at it, the more she found it interesting.

These NPCs’ clothes were embroidered with the word [Empty], and their smiles were the same. It was obvious that they were mass-produced. They looked like real people, but there was no reaction from them.

[How do I use it? Is there a quantity and time limit?]
