Chapter 409: Activate The New Map

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Gongsun Zhongjing was a person who was willing to listen to advice. When he heard this, he raised his head, picked up the small bowl, and drank the hangover soup in one gulp. Then, he stood up obediently and wanted to walk to the carriage.

How could the Ning Family let him leave like this? They hurriedly tidied up the guest room and let him rest first. When they were busy, the medicine page said, “On the way back, we met a village full of people who were sick. They vomited and had diarrhea. Other doctors couldn’t treat them and they were almost treated as a plague. It was our young master who realized that they only drank unclean water.”

“Actually, they just have to brew the medicine according to the prescription. Because the symptoms are the same, the prescription given to everyone is not much different. However, there were not enough herbs in the village, and they were worried, so they forcefully stopped Young Master from leaving.

“Young Master is the most stubborn but soft-hearted, especially when it comes to patients. He said that their illness would be fatal if it dragged on for too long, so he personally brought them up the mountain to pick herbs and brew medicine for them to treat their illnesses. That’s why we delayed our return.”

“Actually, in my opinion, we’ll be delayed for at most five days, but when we return, Old Madam had died seven days ago. It’ll be too late even if the villagers didn’t hold us up.”

“Besides, it was Old Madam Li and her evil servants who kept saying that they didn’t want Young Master to treat her back then. Young Master has already done his best by leaving a prescription. That Old Madam is sick to the bone and there’s no medicine to treat her. If it were any other doctor, she would have died a year ago… Why are they still blaming our Young Master now…”

At this moment, Gongsun Zhongjing muttered, “Du Zhong, help me buy more medicinal herbs.”

“Young Master says that he doesn’t care, but he has actually been thinking about this matter. If he is still awake, Young Master definitely wouldn’t say such things. The herbs can’t be stored for long. We won’t be able to store them for long even after being cooked.”

Xiaoxiao was deep in thought. After going back, she pulled her boyfriend, Rong Yan, to the space for a big meal to make up to him before starting to plant herbs in the ground.

Rong Yan asked her, “What are you doing?”

Xiaoxiao had told Rong Yan about the space, but the space said that she could not mention her background, so she could only use it as a shield.

“I’ve seen medicine that looks very special and is easy to preserve in the Space Mall, so I thought that doctors actually encounter far more ordinary illnesses than difficult illnesses. For example, typhoid fever, cough, and diarrhea. Every doctor’s prescription is actually similar. If we can make medicinal herbs that are easy to preserve and can be consumed directly in the future, won’t it be more convenient for the commoners to treat their illnesses?”

“Moreover, in this way, doctors will have more time to study medicine and specialize in difficult illnesses.”

The more she spoke, the brighter Rong Yan’s eyes became. When Gongsun Zhongjing sobered up, he saw Rong Yan and Xiaoxiao waiting in front of his bed.

Xiaoxiao felt that this matter related to the medicine had to be handed over to professionals. Since the two of them were amateurs, it was better to tell Gongsun Zhongjing the idea directly.

Gongsun Zhongjing was immediately attracted by this thought and was no longer in the mood to worry about the Li Family. The medicine page was both gratified and worried. He was gratified that Young Master had finally walked out of the haze. He was worried because his Young Master would lock himself up in the house for an entire day. It would be bad if his body was exhausted.

Regarding this, be it Xiaoxiao, Rong Yan, or the rest of the Ning Family, they all told him to relax. Because Gongsun Zhongjing did not waste a single meal of Xiaoxiao’s cooking.

Only the few of them knew what Gongsun Zhongjing was doing. Xiaoxiao and the others turned their attention back to the rice field. After the water was released, the rice field was different. The golden rice ears weighed down and bent the rice stem. Ning Fengnian smiled brightly. “We can harvest now!”

It was also on this day that Chernan, who arrived late, happened to witness the harvest scene with his own eyes.

Xiongnu did not plant rice, so he did not have any concept of this harvest. He felt that it was quite a lot, but someone in the staff had specially studied this knowledge. Now that he heard the number reported by the grain officer, he felt that it was very unbelievable.

In order to ensure that his memory and talent were not wrong, he specially went back to revise for the entire night before reporting to Chernan.

“What did you say? The harvest in the field during the day is three times higher than the news we heard?”

He paced back and forth. “In that case, Great Xia’s food reserves far exceed our expectations. That food shortage is simply a huge scam?”

The strategist’s expression was solemn. “We’ve been deceived! I think Great Xia is deliberately showing weakness so that they can catch us off guard!”

Since ancient times, any large country that wanted face liked to fabricate reasons and excuses to make it seem legitimate to send troops. Great Xia had really played a huge game of chess.

The strategist said with lingering fear, “Great Xia’s goal is not small. Could it be…”

Could it be that they really planned to destroy Xiongnu?

“In that case, it’s a good thing that we retreated quickly enough to negotiate peace.”

The master and servant couldn’t sleep the entire night, but County Magistrate Shen was very satisfied with the effect of the harvest. He asked his guards to continue to create an atmosphere that said, “I don’t want you to know, but you will still manage to find out.”

There were people who changed the rules of the officialdom. On the day the rice harvest was completed, Xiaoxiao heard a notification that was almost ecstatic in the space—

[Ding! You have completed the S-Grade Hidden Mission “A Millet Seed in Spring and 10,000 Seeds in Autumn”. Reward: 500,000 points!]

Good lord, as expected, S-Grade missions were different from ordinary small fights.

[The current level of the space is 49. The total points in the space are 58,980. Master, should we level up?]

Of course, he could not reject such a good thing.

The space notification—

[First upgrade—Ding, upgrade successful. Current level is Level 50.]

[New items in the mall have been refreshed.]

[You have obtained a brocade pouch for leveling up. Do you want to open it?]

Of course, Xiaoxiao said yes.

Then, the space dinged.

[New item detected in the space warehouse! Data refreshing… Data refreshed!]

[The brocade pouch has been successfully activated!]

[One, 1×1 ranch speed times 10.]

[Two, 1×1 water speed times 10.]

[Three, Open a new map.]

[Four, Hidden reward.]

Xiaoxiao:…

She said helplessly: [I suspect that you deliberately didn’t let me open the hidden reward.]

However, her curiosity prompted her to ask: [What’s the new map? Is it related to the notification before you activated the brocade pouch?]

The space didn’t speak. Based on Xiaoxiao’s experience, it was basically acquiescing if it didn’t speak.

[I choose option three.]

The silent space immediately replied: [The new map has been successfully activated. Congratulations to the host for obtaining iron ore x 1.]

Something vaguely appeared in Xiaoxiao’s mind, but it was only a flash of inspiration and quickly disappeared.

The space completed the next four upgrades.

[The current level of the space is level 54. All the time flow has been synchronized.]

Recently, there was another person who came to the house to freeload. Commander Han, whom they had not seen for a long time, smelled the fragrance and came over. He did not leave the moment he arrived. Fortunately, the Ning Family was already familiar with him and did not mind adding another pair of chopsticks.

With more people around, Madam Song’s appetite became better. However, Xiaoxiao strictly controlled her appetite and only allowed her to eat the right amount. She was determined not to let her eat too much. She even had to make her walk around the courtyard for at least an hour after dinner. It was all because Madam Song was pregnant with two babies this time..
