Chapter 441: Chapter 216: I’m Very Steady with Needles (2nd Update)

“Ah, do you have any questions?”

Bai Guyue’s pace didn’t stop.

“Wait! Stop right there!”

Mu Fan was really scared, his opponent was a rare Medicinal Plant Master, and even more so, a senior Medicinal Plant Master!

He was still hoping that Bai Guyue could be of more help in the future.

So, he dared not be forceful.

Mu Fan grumbled in his throat, “That, do you remember… the first medicine you created… was it safe?”

Bai Guyue’s eyes looked somewhat blank, but she actually thought about it: “It should be safe, I guess.”

Mu Fan wished fervently that the girl would remove the words “should” and “guess.”

However, Bai Guyue snapped out of it and said to Mu Fan with certainty, “The medicine I make never fails!”

Mu Fan was truly shocked, moving to dodge away.

But at that moment, Bai Guyue snapped her fingers and Mu Fan only felt a sweet scent rushing into his nose, his head growing a bit dizzy, and he was about to fall down.

However, his exceptional physical resilience allowed him to still ask, “Why do I feel dizzy?”

Bai Guyue looked at Mu Fan with surprise, muttering to herself in doubt, “This medicine already had an increased dosage…”

“Mu Fan, your body is really exaggerated, I can only double the dose for you.”

Then, Mu Fan saw her snap her fingers again, and a stronger fragrance filled his nose, causing him to sit down involuntarily in the chair behind him.

His eyelids were still propped open, gazing at Bai Guyue, he laboriously said, “Don’t inject me.”

Bai Guyue’s face grew somewhat excited, shaking the syringe that gleamed coldly, “You have to trust me, I am a professional senior Medicinal Plant Master! My injections are very steady!”

It seemed that Mu Fan’s repeated displays of distrust towards her medical skills angered the shy girl who viewed being a Medicinal Plant Master as a lifelong career.

She walked up to Mu Fan, looked down at him leaning against the seat.

She stretched out her delicate finger to gesture a spot in front of Mu Fan and then, without any shaking, her right hand drove the metal syringe forward.

“Ah!~” Mu Fan was able to shout from his throat.

“Uh…”

The high-pitched sound didn’t last half a second; when the needle entered the blood vessel in Mu Fan’s neck, he didn’t feel a hint of pain, instead, there was a slightly cool refreshment.

He could feel the coolness entering his body, circulating along the blood vessels in his neck, and finally flowing into his atrium.

“I’m sorry, I just wanted to keep you still, otherwise a crooked needle would have been a serious accident.”

Bai Guyue watched as the syringe’s liquid gradually finished injecting and then breathes out a sigh of relief with an apologetic expression.

Mu Fan blinked at her, indicating she was right.

“Just wait ten seconds.”

In these few short seconds, Mu Fan truly felt the coolness enter his heart, seemingly instantly filling some hidden cracks, and like an overheating engine soaked in coolant, that body-felt comfort couldn’t be deceiving him.

“All set.”

Bai Guyue waved her pale wrist in front of his nose, and Mu Fan saw a bracelet made from some unidentifiable fruit or seed.

A faint herbal scent filled his nose as he inhaled the fragrance into his lungs through his nostrils.

The dizzy feeling in Mu Fan’s brain gradually disappeared.

After a few seconds, Mu Fan looked down at his hands, moving them.

The drowsy feeling was completely gone!

It was shockingly miraculous.

“That’s amazing,” Mu Fan sincerely admired.

Hearing the clear praise in Mu Fan’s tone significantly improved the girl’s mood, so she tensely asked, “Just now, did the injection not hurt?”

Mu Fan said reflexively, “It didn’t hurt.”

Wait, that tone…

“You’ve never given an injection to anyone before?”

“Sure, but it’s my first time injecting in the neck, so I’m a bit nervous because the artery is so close—it’s quite dangerous. Luckily, the experience I had accumulated before wasn’t in vain!”

“What do you mean, ‘first time injecting in the neck’!?”

Mu Fan’s eyes were extremely alert now, and he would definitely be better prepared next time.

“Is it all taken care of now?”

“Yes, you can move around now, but remember, you must not experience another cardiac overload within the next twenty days.”

Mu Fan nodded, signaling his understanding, though he figured he wouldn’t have the chance to do it anyway.

However, it seemed like the Mecha Fighting Competition was starting soon.

That shouldn’t be a problem; except for when piloting Shura, which would cause his body to enter an overload state, other situations shouldn’t affect the mecha at all, though they might affect his judgment.

As if remembering something, Mu Fan looked at Bai Guyue and said, “Right, you said the Inner Wall Heart Liquid is ready, didn’t you?”

Bai Guyue nodded, “It’s ready. Your portion was extracted by my grandfather, with a 95% purity.”

“To think it’s Master-level refinement! Mu Fan, you’re really lucky,” Black chimed in, related to their plans for the Fighter’s War Armor.

Initially, a 67% purity was expected, Bai Guyue had said she could achieve 75% herself, but her never-before-met grandfather managed 95% purity!

This was unimaginably high.

You have to understand, Bai Guyue had already been promoted to a Senior Medicinal Plant Master!

Then her grandfather…

In Mu Fan’s mind, being a Senior Medicinal Plant Master was already sky-high, but now he felt like a spaceship just breaking through the atmosphere, glimpsing the vastness of the universe and feeling utterly small.

However, hearing that figure, he mostly felt happy because the long-dormant War Armor Dragon Rider plan could finally commence.

“So, can you give it to me now?”

“Not yet, the medicine is with my grandfather, and he doesn’t allow any disturbances while he is experimenting; I wouldn’t dare to interrupt him.”

Bai Guyue’s voice had reverted to that timid state, clearly showing her genuine fear of her grandfather.

“So, it’s just a matter of waiting now, right?”

“Yeah, he should be done soon; he knows you were coming. In the meantime, please help me put this ‘fatty’ into the Biological Cabin.”

Bai Guyue pointed at Harry standing behind Mu Fan.

Now, the ‘fatty’ was snoring heavily, seemingly in deep, sweet sleep.

Mu Fan was astonished, because the shiny, translucent green liquid net had turned into a pale green membrane.

And, most crucially, the fatty’s swollen face had receded by more than half!

“So impressive!”

A smile also appeared on Bai Guyue’s face, affirming her medical skills.

“The Green Soft Gel will be completely absorbed in one hour, and his face will then return to normal. Put him inside, but remember to take off his jacket.”

After saying that, Bai Guyue pulled the control panel to the back and turned away, not wanting to watch the chunky man.

Mu Fan lifted the ‘fatty’ again, the snoring sounds close to his ear without any sign of awakening.

He pulled off his small suit and baggy casual trousers, revealing a body covered in numerous blue and purple bruises, with many areas oozing large bloodstains—utterly gristly.

Seeing this, Mu Fan’s pupils constricted.

Gaoling Ze!

That the ‘fatty’ hadn’t made a sound despite such injuries.

Recalling how back on Loga Star the ‘fatty’ used to constantly complain of tiredness, and now he had grown so much.

We all are progressing…

Rest assured, there will be a day of reckoning with the figure behind the scenes.

Once the ‘fatty’ awakens, he would spill everything from before; Mu Fan generally felt the matter wasn’t just about Gaoling Ze targeting the ‘fatty.’

Looking through the reflection in the glass dome, Mu Fan felt a vague oppression in his heart.
