Natural Disaster Strikes: I Stockpiled Billions and Carved My Way Through the Apocalypse

The four of them returned to shore, and when they looked up, they saw Lin Zhen staring at them with his arms crossed, his face ashen.

"Oh, what brings you here? Weren't you behind me?" Mu Jiuyue asked awkwardly.

"September, you—" Lin Zhen hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

It's something you can neither love nor hate, nor scold nor discipline.

"Hehehe, don't rush to scold me, I got a treasure today." Mu Jiuyue said, "Although I don't know exactly what it is yet, it must be a great treasure!"

Before Lin Zhen could speak, Mu Jiuyue quickly clasped her hands together and said, "Okay, okay, I'll remember, I'll never dare to do it again! I promise, this is the last time! Commander Lin, please forgive me this time! Please don't tell Wei Lie and Director Lin!"

"You..." Lin Zhen gritted his teeth: "I'm really scared of you! How could Wei Lie and Director Lin not have heard such a commotion? The terrain here is so complicated, and you still dare to act so recklessly! If anything goes wrong, more than a million people will be buried with you!"

Mu Jiuyue quickly tried to appease him: "I know I was wrong. When I took action, I calculated the cave's capacity and it definitely wouldn't affect our team's passage!"

Lin Zhen rolled her eyes at her, annoyed: "You can explain it to Wei Lie and Director Lin yourself!"

Mu Jiuyue slunk away.

They were really slinking away in shame.

Everyone around her could tell she was guilty.

However, before Wei Lie and Director Lin could settle accounts with Mu Jiuyue, Mu Jiuyue went to find Hua Dandan, the little princess of the Hua family.

"Can you take a look at this for me?" Mu Jiuyue handed a pill in a jade box to Hua Dandan.

Hua Dandan naturally took her beloved's request to heart. She immediately took the pills with a handkerchief, smelled them, and blurted out, "Rehmannia glutinosa, cinnamon, white peony root, chuanxiong rhizome, angelica root, achyranthes root... and a few others that I can't identify. Ninth Brother, where did you get them?"

"Don't ask me where I came from. I want to ask you, can you test the efficacy of the pills?" Mu Jiuyue asked again, "I'm in a hurry."

“If someone else had said that, I would naturally say no. But if Ninth Brother has asked, then no is no.” Hua Dandan looked at Mu Jiuyue charmingly and said, “Ninth Brother, if you trust me, just give me half a day. My Hua family may not be good at other things, but we have always been outstanding in the field of Chinese medicinal herbs. I will definitely analyze the medicinal components for you!”

"Okay. Of course I trust you." Mu Jiuyue smiled gently.

That smile almost made Hua Dandan's heart flutter.

They went off to work eagerly.

Although Hua Dandan is arrogant, haughty, cold-blooded, and ruthless, the professionalism of the Hua family is truly beyond doubt.

Four hours later, Hua Dandan arrived with a solemn expression.

"The result wasn't good?" Mu Jiuyue had prepared herself for the worst.

After all, it had been in the coffin for thousands of years, so it's possible that it had lost its effectiveness.

"No, that's exactly the result, it's wonderful!" Hua Dandan said solemnly, "Ninth Brother, how much of this medicine do you have left?"

"Not many." Mu Jiuyue's eyes darted around slightly as she told a little lie: "Only a dozen or so."

"Ninth Brother, you must keep this good thing safe and don't let anyone know," Hua Dandan said. "Do you know what it is?"

"what?"

"It's a miraculous medicine that can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded. Even if someone is only half alive, it can pull them back from the brink of death. The person who made this pill is simply a god. He has fully activated the medicinal properties, and it melts in the mouth, achieving 100% absorption! This is a miraculous medicine that should not exist in the human world!" Hua Dandan said, "I went back and checked the Hua family's records, and it is very similar to the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill that was lost more than two thousand years ago."

“I asked my father, and he said that when the Qin Emperor died, he buried countless books with him. Among them were many treasures from the common people, one of which was this Little Elixir.”

Mu Jiuyue said, "Since you can analyze the drug's components, can't you replicate it using this ingredient list?"

“Ninth Brother, you’re too naive. The medicinal herbs of today are nothing compared to those of over two thousand years ago. The same herbs are not even half as effective as they used to be. Besides, in this post-apocalyptic world, what can possibly survive? Even our Hua family’s herb garden can’t grow herbs with such perfect medicinal properties anymore. If the medicinal properties aren’t good enough, no matter how much you try to replicate them, you can’t replicate the same effect,” Hua Dandan explained.

"Then, what about chemical extraction?" Mu Jiuyue was still unwilling to give up.

"It's useless. Some of the components here don't have existing chemical equations. In other words, some of the substances are now completely lost," Hua Dandan said. "How do you synthesize them? How do you extract them?"

Mu Jiuyue nodded in understanding: "I see."

Hua Dandan stepped forward, looking at Mu Jiuyue with eyes as clear as water: "Ninth Brother, don't worry, I will keep this a secret for you."

Mu Jiuyue smiled and said, "Thank you."

Back in her tent, Mu Jiuyue entered her spatial dimension, preparing to use gold to replicate the device ten thousand times.

However, Mu Jiuyue did not expect that she would fail this time.

It's not that it failed, but the cost of replication was too high.

To replicate a single pill ten thousand times, the amount of gold required would exceed ten thousand tons!

Although Mu Jiuyue had a considerable amount of gold, she used it all to rebuild the base!

However, this incident also reflects the immense value of this pill; it is truly priceless, worth a fortune!

Just as Mu Jiuyue was about to give up, the space offered another option: whether to reduce the quality of the replica and make a copy ten thousand times larger?

Ok?

What does it mean?

Lowering quality?

Mu Jiuyue hesitated for a moment, then moved her fingers, finally deciding to take the risk!

She chose yes.

It consumed 6.6 tons of gold.

Brushing, brushing, brushing.

Before her appeared a mountain of pills.

Mu Jiuyue picked one up and approached Hua Dandan again: "Dandan, could you please test the medicinal properties for me again?"

"Okay, wait for my message." Hua Dandan smiled charmingly and turned to leave.

This time, Mu Jiuyue didn't have to wait long; Hua Dandan returned in less than two hours.

"Ninth Brother, you're just like Doraemon!" Hua Dandan said with a big smile as soon as she arrived. "You still have a lot of this medicine, right?"

Mu Jiuyue did not deny it this time.

"This pill is much less effective than the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill. However, while it can't bring the dead back to life, it's effective at nourishing yin and replenishing qi, improving immunity. For seriously injured patients, it's practically an indispensable medicine," Hua Dandan said. "My father asked me to ask if you're willing to pay. Name your price, our Hua family will take it all!"

Just from Hua Dandan's words, Mu Jiuyue knew the effectiveness of this batch of replicas.

Mu Jiuyue did not refuse. After all, she had just used their services twice for free. If she refused them now, how could she expect them to work in the future?

"Sure," Mu Jiuyue said with a smile. "Even if I don't consider other people's feelings, I'll consider yours. I have quite a few left, but they're not cheap. You two can discuss how much you want. Do what you can afford!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Dandan's face lit up, and she said shyly, "Okay, I knew Ninth Brother was thinking of me."
