Chapter 192 - 192 9000 Points

192 9000 Points

Rong Zhan saw that the empress dowager’s eyes were filled with uncontrollable anticipation. He nodded and bowed before leaving Fengkang Palace.

At the same time, on Dajin Mountain…

The torrential rain poured down, and the bone-piercing cold air drifted in the forest. A thin figure wearing a bamboo hat and a straw raincoat flew through the forest and rushed into a cave to take shelter from the rain.

“It’s rare to see such heavy rain in this cold winter.” Gu Qingxue took off the bamboo hat and the straw raincoat after entering the cave and carefully opened a small cloth bag in her arms.

The cloth bag was full of tender white mushrooms, weighing about five kilograms. Fresh soil and rainwater were still on the mushrooms, which Gu Qingxue had found in the forest.

It was not hard to imagine how happy the three children would be when she returned home with these white mushrooms. The smile on Gu Qingxue’s face deepened. She carefully put the mushrooms back into the medicine basket with the cloth bag, she waited for the rain to stop before going down the mountain.

The pattering of the rain could be heard constantly. Gu Qingxue put down the medicine basket and sat in the cave. She took out a few baby warmers from the research institute and put them on her body to keep warm.

“Master, master!” Gu Qingxue had just put the warmers on her body when she heard the voice of the little butler in her mind.

Gu Qingxue touched the warmers, which were already starting to heat up, and said calmly, “I bought these warmers and put them in the research institute in the past. No one else has seen them here, so why do you still care about them?”

In the past, in order to stay in the research institute and do research all day, Gu Qingxue had almost moved the entire supermarket into the research institute. She had stockpiled many convenient things like the warmers.

Unfortunately, this item could not be seen by others, so she could only use it secretly.

The little butler clicked its tongue. “Tsk, who’s talking about this? The system is notifying you that there’s a patient on this mountain. After healing him, you will receive 9,000 points!”

Upon hearing the words ‘9,000 points’, Gu Qingxue immediately stood up like a carp. She looked around excitedly. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Where is he?”

This was a total of 9,000 points. As long as she could cure this person, why would she need to spend all her time on the mountain looking for the fruit of longevity? She could totally use the points she earned to buy it!

“The system didn’t mention it. You’ll need to find him yourself, master. This person is already in critical condition. If you can’t find him before he dies and save him, then you will lose the 9,000 points,” the little housekeeper continued in a formulaic manner, “System notification: there are about thirty minutes left before the patient dies.”

“F*ck, are you crazy? Dajin Mountain is more than five hundred meters above sea level. How can I find the patient in such a short time?” Gu Qingxue could not help but swear.

The little butler did not waver. “System notification: there are still twenty-nine minutes left.”

After Gu Qingxue cursed the little butler and the system, she immediately grabbed the bamboo hat and straw cape and draped them over her body. Then, she flew out of the rain.

The pouring rain turned into continuous rain. The fine needle-like rain covered the entire mountain with a thin layer of fog, and the visibility in the forest was even lower.

Gu Qingxue stepped on the leaves soaked in the rain and looked around, but she could not see a single ghost.

“Where am I supposed to find the patient?” Gu Qingxue looked behind her, but she accidentally slipped and lost her balance, falling straight toward the slope ahead.
