CHAPTER 399: CHAPTER 399: MEDICINE BATH

In the medical office, Director Wang, Dr. Luo, and Mu Jianling had all found seemingly justifiable excuses for themselves, and instantly felt no psychological burden. After discussing some other matters, they dispersed.

On this side.

Ji You returned to her dorm and the more she thought, the less she could eat, especially after glancing at her points balance, which was just over 100,000 points now, making her feel even more uneasy.

Before yesterday, she had been carrying a huge sum of 260,000 points, but just a single meeting with Director Wang made her lose 100,000 points, leaving only 160,000.

And then?

Not half a day later, 60,000 more points were gone, and now Ji You had only 100,100 points in her hands.

It’s simply...

Faster than a rollercoaster.

The more Ji You thought about it, the more heartbroken she felt, to the extent that she even lost interest in today’s study tasks.

She paced anxiously in her room, thinking about how to reduce her losses when facing this situation again, when suddenly, she heard a knock on the door. Through the screen, she saw it was a delivery robot coming.

The delivery robot, sent by Dr. Luo, held a small box the size of a palm in its hands. After a few beeps from the electronic scanner that confirmed the recipient’s identity, it opened the small box and quickly took out a bucket with about 5 kilograms of Medicine Bath, respectfully handing it to Ji You.

Ji You took it, remarking, "Wow, this delivery robot is using a Space Button!"

Luxurious!

The robot, somewhat intelligent, responded, "Good day, guest. We use a small Space Button for delivery because the storage conditions for the products you ordered are very stringent. Only a Space Button can maintain its quality. We hope you are satisfied with our delivery service."

Ji You realized, "Oh... I see."

The robot said, "Dear guest, your order has been delivered. If you are satisfied, please give me a five-star rating."

After saying this, the robot stood still, pointing to five buttons on its chest, eagerly waiting for Ji You’s response.

Ji You smiled widely, "Sure, I am very satisfied with your service, here’s your five-star rating." Then, she pressed the five buttons, lighting up each star.

The robot, pleased, thanked her and then left.

Ji You commented, "The delivery guy is so cute, I can’t bring myself to give a low rating."

Bringing in the bucket of black as ink Medicine Bath, Ji You carefully read the instructions. Having suffered a setback once before, Ji You didn’t dare take any risks and attentively read through the instructions before starting the process.

This was a concentrated medicine, requiring a sufficient amount of hot water to dilute. Once sure everything was correct, Ji You quickly went in for a soak.

As soon as she stepped in, she smelled a strong scent of herbs, very intense and even mingling with a complex, somewhat nauseating stench. Ji You held her nose, enduring this olfactory challenge.

Gradually, the medicine began to take effect, Ji You felt her body gradually heat up, then slowly from warm, it turned hotter and hotter. Ji You, soaking in a bathtub full of the Medicine Bath, felt like she was being roasted on a fire...

Remembering her first use of the Medicine Bath, resulting in bleeding from all orifices and fortunately being saved from death by Iron Plate, Ji You’s heart began to panic slightly...

Could it be—

Was she going to experience it again?

In her panic, Ji You glanced at the instructions once more and found no issues, which reassured her a bit. Moreover, she set her Light Computer’s contact list to Dr. Luo’s contact, ready to call him immediately in case of an emergency.

Thinking about this, Ji You’s heart gradually calmed, and as it calmed, the burning in her body slowly cooled down. Then, Ji You clearly felt a surge of energy rush into the cells throughout her body.

It was mysterious, indescribable.

It was like the previous heat, yet not quite.

Just as Ji You was pondering how to describe it, suddenly—a severe pain struck, and every cell in her body felt like it was about to explode.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Ji You’s mind went blank, she was just about to call Dr. Luo, when she felt a warm stream in her nose, she raised her hand to touch it and found that she was bleeding.

This—

Ji You quickly dialed Dr. Luo’s phone, and as soon as the call connected, she howled, "Dr. Luo, come save me, this medicine is poisonous!"

Dr. Luo, seeing Ji You’s reaction through the holographic screen, spoke calmly, "Why panic? You’re not dying."

With one hand plugging her bleeding nose, Ji You exclaimed: "It’s bleeding so much, how can I not panic? I’m afraid of dying..."

Dr. Luo seemed concerned, took a closer look at Ji You’s reaction, asked about her feelings, and then gestured with his hand: "No worries, this is a normal reaction. The first dosage I prescribed to you isn’t high, its purpose is to cleanse and remove residual waste and toxins from your body. A little bleeding is normal. Do you feel less pain now?"

After taking a moment to feel, Ji You nodded quickly, "Although it’s not as painful, it still hurts a lot."

Dr. Luo laughed, "The effect of the medicine is to cleanse and strengthen muscles and bones. To maintain their combat strength, besides intense physical and practical training, warriors from various legions within our Alliance also pair it with Medicine Baths to condition and repair their bodies. Cherish this opportunity, what you’re using is even better than the ones used by the Six Great Armies."

Ji You, amused, said, "Is it really that powerful? My Medicine Bath is even better than those used by the Six Great Armies?"

With a smile, Dr. Luo said, "Of course. The legions use a ’one-pot mix,’ yours is a private custom blend, how could it not be better?"

Hearing this, Ji You laughed heartily, "Then thank you, Dr. Luo."

Dr. Luo replied, "No need to thank me, just knowing that the 5000 points you spent are worth it is enough. Actually no, it’s 4999 points."

Ji You: "..."

Ji You forced a smile, "Dr. Luo sure has humor, even this 1 point matters that much."

Dr. Luo joked with a smile, "Next time you pay, be a bit more generous, don’t scrimp."

Ji You: "..."

Ji You chuckled, "I’m all good now, Dr. Luo. Thank you for your trouble. If you’re busy, please go ahead."

Used and disposed of.

Destroy the bridge after crossing.

This agility is truly amusing, and Dr. Luo reminded, "Okay! Call me if there’s any problem. Also, after each Medicine Bath, you can start practicing the Body Refinement Realm techniques Teacher Mu taught you. It will not only improve the efficiency of the Body Refinement Realm but also accelerate the absorption of the medicine."

Ji You hurriedly said, "Thank you for reminding me, Dr. Luo. I got it."
