~6 min read 1,186 words

"Just wait, I'll give it to you tomorrow."

Although helpless, for the sake of her own sister, Haibara Ai still decided to trust Mao Li Lan once.

"Tomorrow?" Mao Li Lan said in surprise.

Haibara Ai rolled her eyes: "Sister Xiao Lan, the APTX4869 materials aren't just a little bit, I have them stored on a USB drive, I can only hand them to you tomorrow."

Mao Li Lan suddenly understood, a faint blush coloring her fair cheeks, feeling somewhat embarrassed inside.

Scientific research involves knowledge from all fields; just the materials alone would fill a truck, or be stored on a USB drive, and simply can't be explained in a few words.

"Fine."

"Remember to save my sister!" Haibara Ai snorted lightly, turned around, and left.

Mao Li Lan was speechless: "I only said it was possible!"

Haibara Ai simply pretended she hadn't heard, pulled the door shut, and left.

"What a headache, for APTX4869, I really won't have to go beg someone, will I?"

After watching the livestream, she didn't actually dislike the Dao Sovereign.

But not disliking someone and going straight to their door, then becoming someone else's concubine, are still a hundred and eighty thousand miles apart.

"We'll talk about it when the time comes!"

"Perhaps APTX4869 is very valuable, enough to ask Dao Sovereign Brother to make a move once."

As her thoughts turned, Mao Li Lan's figure vanished.

The next moment, she had already appeared within a cave heaven.

Mao Li Lan had not only taken a loan of several thousand points, but had also taken a loan on a cave heaven.

Now within her cave heaven, there was also a large patch of spiritual medicines growing well, emitting waves of medicinal fragrance.

Mao Li Lan looked over the medicinal materials in her cave heaven once, found no problems, and only then set her mind at ease.

These medicinal materials were her future source of points, leaving no room for carelessness.

After looking over the medicinal materials, she came to the center of the cave heaven, where a wooden house stood — it was her resting place.

The wooden house wasn't luxurious, but it made her feel at ease.

Having watched the Conan anime, she felt the outside world was simply too dangerous.

The Black Organization, spies from every country, and Conan's Shinigami halo.

The outside was practically hell!

"Su Xiao said Conan is a Shinigami, I wonder if it's true?"

As Shinichi's childhood sweetheart, Mao Li Lan knew him too well.

Exactly like in the anime, wherever he went, people died.

"In the future I must keep Mom and Dad farther away from Conan!"

As Mao Li Lan thought and thought, her brows furrowed.

Although Kudou Shinichi was her childhood sweetheart and they were close, if compared with her parents, she still felt her parents were closer.

The next day.

Haibara Ai arrived as promised, handing a bottle of medicine and a USB drive to Mao Li Lan.

"Sister Xiao Lan, this is what you wanted.

Mao Li Lan nodded, took the materials and APTX4869, and her thoughts stirred.

【Ding, you sold Rejuvenation Pills *10, obtained ten thousand points.】

Rejuvenation Pill: can reverse time, making a person young again. However, the vitality for rejuvenation comes from the user themselves; if the user's vitality is insufficient, they will directly drop

dead, and moreover, the person who dropped dead will show no cause of death whatsoever.

"No wonder this thing was used for killing." After receiving the Shangcheng annotation, Mao Li Lan immediately understood the principle behind the drug.

【Ding, you sold Rejuvenation Pill materials, obtained 500,000 points.】

"So many!"

Mao Li Lan was stunned.

Five hundred thousand points could buy several small cave heavens.

With this, she could not only pay off the cave heaven points, but also obtain resources to cultivate to the Divine Ability realm — she had struck it rich in an instant.

Mao Li Lan looked at Haibara Ai as if she had discovered a great treasure.

With Haibara Ai's intelligence, as long as there were enough materials, wouldn't APTX4869 be available in however many she wanted?

One thousand points per pill, make a hundred thousand or a million, and that would be hundreds of millions of points.

Haibara Ai got creeped out by Mao Li Lan's gaze, retreated a few steps, and said: "Sister Xiao Lan, your gaze is so scary."

"Xiao Ai, let's cooperate." Mao Li Lan suddenly said, "you make the drugs, I'll sell them, we'll split the profits fifty-fifty."

"Fifty-fifty?" Haibara Ai frowned, "Didn't you say you wouldn't sell the drugs?

Mao Li Lan shook her head: "Not selling them to our world, but to other worlds."

Hearing this, Haibara Ai's heart skipped a beat — Mao Li Lan seemed perfectly fine, she wouldn't have gone crazy all of a sudden, would she?

"Sister Xiao Lan, I'd like to think this over first."

Saying so, she subtly retreated outward.

Mao Li Lan's mind wasn't right now, and combined with that terrifying combat power, Haibara Ai didn't dare stay in the same room with her at all.

If she went crazy, wouldn't that be a death sentence?

As Haibara Ai thought this, her resolve only grew firmer

The next moment, she saw Mao Li Lan wave a hand, and then the scenery before her eyes changed.

Just a moment ago it had been Mao Li Lan's bedroom; with a wave of her hand, they were now in the wilderness.

In the distance, lush green trees stood thick, and behind them stretched a boundless wilderness.

A gentle breeze drifted in, making Haibara Ai shiver.

"Where is this?"

Haibara Ai asked in shock.

"This is my grotto-heaven!"

Mao Li Lan answered.

Haibara Ai was stunned: "A grotto-heaven?"

As a scientist, although she only specialized in biology and pharmaceuticals, her knowledge in other fields was also quite broad.

She was also familiar with all sorts of myths and legends.

A grotto-heaven — that was something out of Eastern myths and legends.

"Grotto-heavens really exist?!" Haibara Ai felt her entire worldview crumbling to pieces.

This was clearly a world of science — how could something that only existed in myths and legends suddenly appear in the blink of an eye?

Mao Li Lan nodded: "Of course they exist. If you want one, I can give you one too. However, you'll have to cooperate with me and produce APTX4869."

"I can have a grotto-heaven too?"

Haibara Ai was stunned. "Isn't a grotto-heaven extremely precious?"

"Of course it's precious." Mao Li Lan said softly. "However, I have channels. For just two hundred pills, I'll give you a grotto-heaven. How about it?"

Haibara Ai was puzzled: "Xiao-Lan jie, why are you so obsessed with that poison?

"It's not a poison, it's a youth-restoring medicine." Mao Li Lan shook her head. "In other worlds, this medicine has great uses."

Haibara Ai pondered for a moment, then said: "Alright, I'll cooperate with you. However, I want to know exactly where you've been selling the medicine. May I?"

"Of course." Mao Li Lan deliberated for several breaths, then decided to tell Haibara Ai.
