Chapter 23

As she spoke, Bai Lu began to inquire. ===== CHAPTER 54 =====

After all, in the afternoon, when people came to see a doctor, she could promote it.

"Three thousand credits, perhaps."

Hearing Bai Lu, her maid pondered: "Soda bean juice sells for eighteen hundred, Scalegorge Waterscape ice spring sells for eighteen hundred. This Jade Fruit Soup is sold by our Alchemy Commission, and it also has a healing effect on wounds. I don't think selling it for three thousand credits is excessive."

"Once it becomes popular later, we can double the price."

"Not bad, not bad."

Hearing the maid, Bai Lu was satisfied: "You have a good head for business."

What the maid said was exactly what Bai Lu wanted to hear.

Immediately, Bai Lu placed the Jade Fruit Soup on her consultation table and instructed the maid: "Go tell the alchemists in the other clinics that if anyone comes to the Alchemy Commission with injuries to get medicine or see a doctor, just send them directly to me."

If she wanted the promoted item to attract attention, it had to be clinically useful.

"Okay."

Hearing Bai Lu, the maid nodded respectfully.

She then went down to find the alchemists of each clinic to give the instructions.

"What? Lady Bai Lu wants to treat injured patients?"

"That's great! Doesn't that mean I can slack off this afternoon?"

"Comforting, comforting. I can have a good rest this afternoon. If any injured people come, I can just push them to Lady Bai Lu."

When the alchemists at the various clinics and stalls were notified by Bai Lu's maid, they were all surprised.

But the next second, their expressions turned to joy.

Didn't this mean Lady Bai Lu was giving them a half-day off?

One had to know that even now, injured people came every day to get medicine.

Among them, there were even more outlanders.

"Strange, is Lady Bai Lu so diligent today?"

The next second, an alchemist scratched his head in confusion: "According to the usual situation, shouldn't Lady Bai Lu be thinking about sneaking out of the Alchemy Commission right now?"

"Yeah, if that's the case, wouldn't Lady Bai Lu have no time to sneak out? That shouldn't be right."

"In the past, Lady Bai Lu wouldn't be like this."

"No matter, this is Lady Bai Lu's personal order, we just need to listen to her."

"And everyone, don't be too happy too soon. Lady Bai Lu said that injured people should be sent over, but we still have to receive those who aren't injured. It's not a holiday."

"But it will definitely be easier than before."

As one alchemist after another discussed it, they became excited.

This meant they could have a much easier day.

One had to know that even in the current Luofu, there were injured people every day.

Some had simple bruises, while more serious ones were Cloud Knights returning with injuries, or Cloud Knights injured in battles against Mara-struck.

And it wasn't just Cloud Knights; many outlanders were even more prone to injury.

The bodies of those outlanders were not as robust as the locals of the Xianzhou.

While the alchemists were discussing,

Bai Lu's maid had finished notifying everyone and returned to Bai Lu's side.

This made Bai Lu satisfied, believing that someone would experience this Jade Fruit Soup this afternoon.

Bai Lu even thought about telling Lin Mo this good news.

But when she took out her phone and saw that Lin Mo's chat box showed he was offline, she was speechless: "This guy, I don't know what he's doing going offline every day."

Shouldn't phones be turned on 24 hours a day?

How come Lin Mo went offline for most of the day almost every day?

One had to know that there was no "invisible" option for contacts on the phone, only an "offline" option.

And to go offline, besides having no signal, one had to actively log out of the account.

She didn't know what Lin Mo was busy with all day long.

Are the Cloud Knights really that busy?

Especially a trainee Cloud Knight.

While Bai Lu was confused,

On the other side.

Teyvat.

Outside Liyue Harbor.

Near the Sea of Clouds.

Lin Mo, who was practicing his sword, once again heard the strange sound coming from afar.

Lin Mo: "..."

Hearing this strange sound, Lin Mo was speechless.

This sound was truly annoying.

It seemed he had to go check out the situation.

If he didn't resolve this sound, his sword practice would be affected.

He just wanted to practice his sword in peace, but this intermittent sound easily distracted him.

"Lin Mo, you heard that strange sound too, right?"

At this moment, Wen Qi walked over from afar and said in a deep voice: "I've decided to investigate this properly. This strange sound has been ringing for two or three days in a row, and I think it's very abnormal."

"Before, there was no such sound."

"I suspect it's the sound of Hilichurls or monsters gathering. It's been ringing continuously these past few days, which means it's possible monsters are gathering."

"If things go wrong, it will be terrible."

With the Lantern Rite approaching, this sound appearing repeatedly.

No matter what, the Millelith soldiers stationed here had the duty to investigate it clearly.

"Hmm, leave it to me."

Lin Mo nodded gently: "It's convenient for me to act alone." ===== CHAPTER 55 =====

He had decided last night that if this sound rang again, he would definitely need to investigate it clearly.

"Do you want me to go with you?"

Hearing Lin Mo, Wen Qi frowned: "If monsters are swarming, it will be troublesome. You can't handle it alone."

"No matter, someone needs to be stationed here. I'll just go investigate and see."

Lin Mo chuckled: "Ordinary monsters don't pose any danger to me. I just need to use my sword to solve it."

The area of the Sea of Clouds was very large and not suitable for moving together.

Investigating was very convenient for one person.

"Fine."

Hearing Lin Mo, Wen Qi nodded: "Then I'll trouble you. If you encounter any crisis you can't solve, come back and inform me immediately so I can find help at the Liyue city gates."

It wasn't as if monsters hadn't gathered together in the past, sometimes attacking people on the roads outside Liyue Harbor.

Especially now that the Lantern Rite was approaching, more people were entering and leaving Liyue.

If they encountered monster danger outside Liyue Harbor, it would be a dereliction of duty for them, the Millelith.

"Hmm."

Hearing Wen Qi, Lin Mo nodded gently, indicating he understood.

Immediately, he tucked his sword into his waist and walked in the direction from which the strange sound came.

After watching Lin Mo disappear from her sight, Wen Qi immediately returned to prepare to have the other Millelith soldiers stand guard and patrol seriously. ===== CHAPTER 56 =====
