Miler, who has a system for giving up

With their departure, the laboratory returned to its tranquility. I, on the other hand, devoted myself entirely to the work of refining elixirs.

Everyone knew perfectly well that at such a crucial moment, they must not disturb the alchemist's concentration, so they all remained silent and quietly watched me complete each step of the process.

Time passed second by second, and sweat gradually seeped from my forehead. My eyes were fixed intently on the alchemy furnace, and I dared not relax for a moment.

Finally, a rich aroma of medicine wafted over, and I knew that the batch of pills was about to be completed.

Just then, Sikong Feng's phone vibrated in his pocket. He took it out and glanced at the screen, which displayed the three large characters "Old Man".

He left my private lab, walked to a corner, and answered the phone.

"Young Master, the Master has ordered that we must obtain the pills refined by Miss Mi no matter what." A deep voice came from the other end of the phone.

Sikong Feng frowned slightly. "I understand." After hanging up the phone, he fell into deep thought.

"How did Grandpa know that Xiao Lele was going to refine pills? And why does he insist on having a pill that Xiao Lele refined?" Sikong Feng muttered to himself as he returned to the laboratory.

At this moment, the batch of pills was finished. I carefully opened the lid of the furnace, and there lay 10 fragrant pills. I used my spiritual power to take them out one by one and put them into the jade box.

However, I didn't notice the complicated look in Sikong Feng's eyes when he returned. He didn't see the 10 pills; after taking a deep breath, he made a decision.

Sikong Feng approached Miss Mi, a hint of struggle flashing in his eyes. He took a deep breath and said, "Little Lele, can you sell me this pill? Name your price. My grandfather wants a pill you refined."

Everyone turned around, their faces showing astonishment, and all eyes fell on him.

I smiled slightly and said with a playful grin, "Haha, alright! These were originally meant to be yours. This one is a Youth Preservation Pill, it can beautify and nourish your skin~ As for the other types of pills, they will be finished in a little while. By the way, Sikong, don't mistake me for the incompetent one who can only refine one pill per batch."

At this moment, Sikong Feng was completely stunned. His mouth was slightly open, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.

After a long while, he finally came to his senses and slowly opened the exquisite jade box I had placed on the table with trembling hands.

When he saw the ten pills, still emitting a rich medicinal fragrance, neatly arranged inside, he was stunned. His tongue seemed to be tied in knots, and he managed to stammer out a complete sentence with great difficulty.

"You...you...how did you do that? You know, although our Sikong family also has an alchemist, he can only produce one finished product at most each time, and he has to go through ten failed attempts before he has a slim chance of successfully refining a batch of pills. Even so, this alchemist already has a very high status in our family. But you? Not only did you succeed in refining them on the first try, but what's even more unbelievable is that you refined a full ten! And as far as I can see, the medicinal effects of these pills seem to be far superior to those refined by that alchemist!"

With a smile, Han Heng gently patted Sikong Feng's broad shoulder, his tone full of comfort: "My lovely Le Bao is so outstanding in every way, this little thing is nothing at all. You should quickly send one to the old man first, so that he can rest assured."

Just then, Ye Dongjun seemed to finally recover from his shock, and a playful smile appeared on his face as he said, "If Second Brother had been here just now, this embarrassing situation definitely wouldn't have happened! Haha, it seems we two are really quite naive."

Qin Yimeng, on the other hand, appeared unusually calm, as if she was already used to everything that was happening before her eyes.

From beginning to end, apart from that initial gasp of surprise, she never uttered any further extreme sounds.

However, in stark contrast to Qin Yimeng was Yan Luo. At this moment, her face was as pale as paper, and she looked extremely haggard.

I couldn't help but feel worried, and quickly asked with concern, "Lolo, what's wrong? Why do you look so pale? Are you feeling unwell?"

When I asked her a question, Yan Luo forced a smile, but the pain in her eyes was undeniable.

She answered softly, "Actually, it's not that I'm feeling unwell, but because... Yimeng is about to strangle me! But I really can't bear to use my spiritual power to resist, for fear of accidentally hurting her, so I can only endure it. Now, I almost suffered internal injuries from holding it in, hehe."

As she spoke, Yan Luo winked at me playfully, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that there was actually an interesting little episode hidden behind Qin Yimeng's calm demeanor.

After this minor setback, Sikong Feng tightly gripped the precious pills I had given him, turned with a determined look, handed them to his trusted aide beside him, and whispered, "Make sure these pills are safely delivered to my grandfather! Do not hand them over!!"

After saying that, he seemed to have made up his mind, and refused to step out of the room again to answer that annoying phone call.

Once everything was arranged, he turned off his phone without hesitation, as if he wanted to completely cut himself off from the outside world.

Seeing this, everyone followed Sikong Feng's example, turning off their phones and wholeheartedly staying by my side, quietly watching every step of my pill refining process.

The afternoon flew by like a fleeting moment, but I remained completely focused and tireless in my work of refining elixirs.

Each batch of pills, once produced, emits a rich aroma and a mysterious glow, captivating all who behold it.

As time went by, the expressions on the friends' faces gradually changed.

At first, they were incredibly shocked by my superb alchemy skills, but as they witnessed me complete the alchemy process flawlessly time and time again, without ever experiencing an explosion, their expressions gradually became numb.

However, this numbness was not a sign of weariness or disappointment, but rather a deep awe and admiration for my exceptional abilities.

What's even more amazing is that I not only succeeded in forming the core every time, but each time I formed as many as ten cores!

This undoubtedly left everyone speechless.

Meanwhile, the newly joined staff who had just successfully completed the experiment and had not yet diluted and prepared the solution, could not contain their excitement and rushed over to report the good news of their success.

When they stepped into the room and saw the spectacular scene before them—I was focused on refining elixirs, while the people around me were captivated by this magical sight—they were also irresistibly drawn in, and for a moment they forgot what they were about to say.

Those waiting for news grew suspicious as the messenger had not returned. Several more people then came to check on the situation.

And so, batches of people gathered here, eventually forming a huge crowd of onlookers.

However, faced with such a rare sight, no one dared to make a sound to disturb it, for fear of breaking the tranquility and sanctity.

After all, being able to witness an alchemist's skillful and successful alchemy process firsthand is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

I was completely absorbed in that mysterious and wondrous world of alchemy, as if I had forgotten everything around me.

Time passed quietly, and I was completely unaware of this strange phenomenon.

Finally, after I had skillfully and perfectly refined all the precious medicinal herbs that Yan Luo had given me, this intoxicating alchemy journey came to an end.

I slowly raised my head, and the scene before me took me by surprise! I didn't know when, but I had been surrounded by a group of staff members.

Their faces were filled with astonishment and disbelief, their eyes wide and their mouths agape as if they could fit an egg inside.

Clearly, they were extremely shocked and astonished by the superb alchemy skills I had just demonstrated.

At the same time, my friends also keenly noticed the change in atmosphere.

When they saw me starting to tidy up the alchemy furnace in an orderly manner, they knew perfectly well that I had successfully completed this alchemy.

As a result, everyone gathered around, their eyes sparkling with excitement and curiosity, eager to learn more about the details and results of this alchemy session.

Just then, as if time had reversed, Sikong Feng, just like he had been moments before, was startled by the sudden action of the person behind him. He snapped back to his senses, his eyes revealing a hint of astonishment and confusion.

He composed himself, his gaze sweeping over the crowd before settling on the two people in front of him. He asked in a serious tone, "What brings you here? Did the potion experiment I gave you go smoothly? How were the results?"

Upon hearing Sikong Feng's question, my two assistants, being more quick-witted than the others, rapidly recovered from their shock.

Hao Jianjun was the first to speak, saying, "Dean, we have completed the experiment as required and diluted the drug appropriately. However, after testing and comparison, we found that its effect is not significantly different from the previous one. We came here today to report this situation to you."

Jiang Feifei then added, "That's right. At first, they didn't return after arriving here, while our side kept sending people back and forth to inquire about the situation. It wasn't until we had diluted all the newly provided medicine that most of the people gradually gathered here. Out of curiosity, we couldn't help but come over to see what had happened." Her voice was clear and melodious, carrying a hint of urgency and anticipation.

The others, as if waking from a dream, recovered from the astonishing shock and exclaimed, "Yes! Who would have thought that we would have the good fortune to witness Director Mi personally refining pills so soon after arriving here? We were so engrossed that we were almost lost in thought!"

The group looked at each other, all showing some embarrassment. They lowered their heads unconsciously, like children who had done something wrong.

They secretly thought to themselves that their entranced appearance just now must have made them a laughing stock among others.

Nevertheless, everyone's eyes still shone with undisguised excitement and anticipation. After all, being able to witness such a magical and unfathomable alchemy process was truly a great blessing in life!

After a flurry of activity, I finally got everything organized. The pills I had spent a lot of time refining that afternoon were now neatly placed into the mysterious spatial ring that Sikong Feng had given me earlier.

I said to Sikong, looking slightly tired, "Sikong, you can handle and distribute these pills. I'm so tired and hungry, I just want to go home quickly, have a good meal, and then get some rest."

After saying that, his body began to sway involuntarily.

Seeing this, Han Heng, who was standing to the side, felt a pang of anxiety, fearing that I might accidentally fall to the ground.

He quickly bent down, his movements gentle and nimble, and in an instant, he pulled me into his arms in a princess carry.

In an instant, a refreshing and subtle fragrance wafted over, the unique scent emanating from Han Heng.

The alluring aroma made me, who was already exhausted, feel even more drowsy.

At the same time, Yan Luo held tightly to Sikong Feng's arm and walked together in a certain direction, shouting loudly, "Come with me quickly! Director Mi just gave us a brand new alternative to the repair agent—precious medicinal plants!"

Their figures gradually receded into the distance, eventually disappearing from sight.

Qin Yimeng and Ye Dongjun both lowered their heads simultaneously, their fingers moving quickly and skillfully to operate the screens of their respective phones, trying to turn them on as soon as possible.

Qin Yimeng eagerly dialed a number and said into the receiver, "Aunt Fang, our stomachs are rumbling! Please tell everyone to hurry up and cook a meal, and remember to make lots of delicious dishes. I want to treat Sister Le to a good meal!"

After saying that, a hopeful smile appeared on her face, and she smiled even more happily after hearing the answer on the phone.

Meanwhile, Ye Dongjun wasn't idle either. After quickly dealing with a barrage of messages, he also picked up his phone and made a call.

He commanded in a firm, almost imperious tone, "Hey, immediately prepare three massage chairs of the same model as the one I'm using now, and send them to three different locations. One should be sent directly to Miler's lab, where someone will be responsible for receiving it; another should be sent to my current residence; and the last one should be sent to Miler's home right now. Understand? Hurry up! Yes, send them now!"

After hanging up the phone, Ye Dongjun's lips curled up slightly, seemingly quite satisfied with the instructions he had just given.
