Mu Xue and Mu Xue

When she woke up the next day, Mu Xue was still recalling the cheerful and wonderful atmosphere of last night. She couldn't help thinking, how nice it would be if every day could be like this. But it was obvious that this was just a thought. After all, her brother Lin Mo didn't allow her to eat barbecue all the time, saying that it was bad for the body. But as a doctor, what was there for her to be afraid of?

Lin Mo has gone to the academy today. He is going to report the results of the investigation in the past few days and the results of the handling of the Red Wolf King. After all, it is a task given to him by the academy, and he must hand it over to the academy after completing it.

After Lin Mo completed the mission, he received some rewards, including 200 mission points and some spiritual herb seeds. These spiritual herb seeds varied widely, some for strengthening the body, some for strengthening the body, and some for increasing the speed of spiritual energy absorption. For ordinary people, the first two types of spiritual herb seeds were quite useful, but the last type was completely useless. However, Lin Mo suddenly remembered that Mu Xue had many vegetables growing at home. Wouldn't it be even better if she also planted some spiritual herbs? So, he decided to take the spiritual herb seeds home and give them to Mu Xue to deal with.

While 200 quest points isn't a lot, it's not too few either; it's about average. Quest points can be exchanged for various items within the academy, such as rare treasures, weapons, equipment, soul seeds, and more. Of course, they can also be exchanged directly for cash. Obviously, exchanging cash for quest points is the least cost-effective of these options. Lin Mo personally believes that soul seeds are the most practical and expensive item. He's checked and found that even the cheapest soul seeds cost 1 quest point! At that price, he'd need to complete over a hundred such quests to earn just one soul seed! After careful consideration, Lin Mo ultimately gave up the idea of ​​purchasing soul seeds.

Today was the weekend, so Mu Xue was silently grieving because her family had run out of vegetables. "I can't benefit the people of this town anymore. My vegetables are gone, woo woo woo." Although she had no vegetables to deliver, she still had quite a few guests every day! She could receive about a dozen or so, which was a headache for her. Seeing these people sick was heartbreaking. Although she had no money and 15 copper coins was not expensive, she had to accept a symbolic fee. Their previous journey with the Demon Wolf King had completely thrown their already comfortable life out of whack. You thought they were on their way to great prosperity? No, you'd be wrong. They were quite wealthy. The castle had two floors, the first with sixteen rooms, the second with even more, for a total of twenty-four rooms. Each floor was filled with precious items and treasures, a breathtaking sight.

The first floor room contained a large amount of money, while the second floor contained not only money but also many gorgeous armors. Although these armors had no practical use to them, from the looks of it, if they were sold, they would definitely be able to get a lot of money.

After so many days of treating patients, Mu Xue had also heard a lot of news about the country. It turned out that the country they were in was called Huayan, a very peace-loving nation. Its emperor was praised as a wise ruler, and would not attack any other country unless it attacked first. The country valued the development of culture and the arts, and encouraged its people to pursue knowledge and wisdom. This peaceful atmosphere imbued the country with vitality and vigor.

Perhaps Mu Xue could fetch a good price for these armors if she sold them to the Huayan Emperor. After all, he was such a peace-loving man that he would surely prioritize the equipment of his army and the safety of his soldiers. However, gaining access to this wise emperor was no easy feat. As the ruler of a nation, his busy schedule required significant time for handling government affairs, meeting with officials, and inspecting public sentiment. Furthermore, ordinary people rarely had the opportunity to meet the emperor directly, let alone conduct business with him.

However, Mu Xue remained undeterred. She knew that opportunities always come to those who are prepared. She began actively seeking ways to gain access to the emperor through various channels. She inquired with local merchants about opportunities to attend banquets or celebrations held at the imperial palace, or about any special opportunities to meet the emperor. At the same time, she began researching the history and political system of Hua Yan, hoping to find some breakthrough.

The territory of Huayan was vast and boundless. According to what she had heard from a merchant who frequently traveled between countries, Huayan's landmass was the largest of the twelve nations he had traversed in the past seven years. Furthermore, the emperor was a rare and wise ruler, often disguising himself as an ordinary citizen, visiting towns and cities to personally experience the hardships of the people. If he encountered officials who oppressed the people and abused their power, he would decisively take action, performing a show worthy of the "Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King."

Mu Xue spent her days at home, besides growing vegetables, listening to the stories of those who came from far away seeking medical treatment. She was filled with all sorts of interesting stories about the outside world. Perhaps because of her childhood experiences, she yearned for the outside world, but she suppressed her desire to travel. Her brother was studying here, and the residents of the Truth needed to treat their own illnesses. They also needed their own high-quality vegetables. She couldn't leave yet. After all, doctors are kind-hearted. What ethical doctor would wish for others to be sick every day? If they were doing it for the sake of money, then they had no medical ethics.

That evening, Lin Mo returned home from school. After a day of careful consideration, he decided to move to a larger house. Since the house he had left had already collapsed, why not build a bigger one? This would make it much easier for Mu Xue to grow vegetables and herbs. While the renovation might require the addition of a star-gathering array, it would only take a little longer. Building a star-gathering array didn't require particularly expensive materials, but the internal structure was more complex. The last time Lin Mo built a star-gathering array, it took him a full month, but after studying for a while, he was confident he could complete two within a month.

Lin Mo shared his idea with Mu Xue, who readily agreed. After all, who wouldn't want a bigger house? Of course, she could also choose to enter the world of the Purple Thunder Holy Bow and become a princess in a castle. However, that world was deserted, save for a half-human, half-demon being. The sky was dark and the air quality was poor. If she lived there, while she would be a princess in a castle, she would feel more like a beauty imprisoned by the Demon King.

The two found the old man in charge of building the house and told him their idea. After listening, the old man said he understood the situation. Lin Mo used gestures to show the old man the approximate size and shape of the house, and then began construction.

It is worth mentioning that it was Mu Xue and others who originally offered to bear the cost of rebuilding these collapsed houses. Although the local residents firmly refused, they failed to change the decision in the end. Mu Xue showed a strong sense of responsibility. She believed that it was her treatment of the patients that caused the collapse of the surrounding houses, so she should be held responsible for it. The residents who lost their houses did not feel dissatisfied or complain about this, but were sad. After all, the houses they had lived in for many years were gone. They each had different reasons: "Oh, why should we pay compensation? This is an old house that has been there for decades. We have wanted to demolish and rebuild it for a long time. We have to thank you! It doesn't matter. Our family is not short of money, and I am in good health. It is no problem for me to build a house by myself." These neighbors found various excuses, but no one blamed Mu Xue. What Mu Xue didn't know was that what they were thinking in their hearts was, "She only charged 15 copper coins each time she treated us, and also gave us good vegetables. We must treat her well!"
