Having received a satisfactory answer, Francis and his companions happily boarded the starship and departed via the cloud ladder.

Watching the starship gradually recede into the distance until it disappeared, Mu Tao took a deep breath and then burst into wild laughter.

"Hahaha, I actually survived and didn't get eliminated."

Viewers couldn't bear to watch and bombarded him with comments, saying it wasn't his function.

He said he wouldn't have survived without Sang Ning's help.

Mu Tao didn't care. He put his hands on his hips, looking incredibly awesome, and started arguing with the audience, saying confidently, "Then I'll just survive too."

"How to survive isn't the point; the point is that Francis and his team were eliminated, while I can continue."

"Therefore, I am the ultimate victor!"

That made perfect sense, and the audience was rendered speechless by his rebuttal, flocking to Sang Ning's live stream to ask her to control Mu Tao.

Sang Ning couldn't be bothered to care; he wasn't her son, so why should she care?

Mu Tao can do whatever she wants, as long as it doesn't affect her.

but--

"Smack!"

Sang Ning slapped Mu Tao on the back as she laughed with her hands on her hips and said gently, "Are you done laughing?"

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Mu Tao hadn't finished laughing, but after being interrupted by Sang Ning, he lost the will to continue.

"Go gather some firewood and see if you can bring back any game or something. It's about time to prepare dinner."

In the past few days, in order to deal with the contestants who gathered from all directions, they haven't had a proper meal. They've just made do with whatever's available, eating wild fruits when there are any, and dry rations when there aren't.

If there's no dry food or wild fruit, a few grass roots and leaves will suffice for a few bites.

Their lives were worse than those of savages. At least savages could eat meat, but they didn't even have time to hunt, let alone have meat.

Now that she could enjoy some temporary peace, Sang Ning felt it was time to have a good meal.

When it came to food, Mu Tao instantly perked up and said happily, "Okay, I'll go get some right now!"

Before he finished speaking, his exhaustion vanished, and he dashed out like lightning.

Sang Ning shouted, "Be careful!"

"Okay!"

Then, he disappeared.

Sang Ning ignored them and, amidst the slightly surprised gazes of the audience, walked to a shrub covered with purple, thumb-sized wild berries.

These purple fruits, one large and one small, hung in pairs on the branches of the shrub.

There were so many that the branches were weighed down and drooped.

What is this? The color looks a bit strange.

Is it weird? Why does it look so delicious to me?

[I also think it looks and tastes good. Seriously though, is it actually edible?!]

Whether it's edible or not, just ask Sang Ning.

As Sang Ning was staring at the fruits, she was approached by a question from the audience.

"Can I eat this?"

"It's edible."

When the audience asked if it was delicious, Sang Ning smiled and said, "It's alright, sweet and sour, and it's appetizing."

The audience members, upon hearing this, expressed a strong desire to try it.

Sang Ning couldn't refuse them, so she picked a few for them to virtually eat. And wow, the sweet and sour taste was quite captivating.

Then, the audience got really excited.

Some even said they were going to go to the nature reserve to find this wild fruit.

Seeing this, Sang Ning quickly stopped her, "No, you really can't eat too much of this."

The audience asked why.

Sang Ning felt that it was time to give them a proper lesson.

"This is mountain eggplant, also known as Sanfensan, which is a type of Chinese medicinal herb."

"Wild eggplant contains 16 kinds of amino acids and is very nutritious."

"The tender stems and leaves can also be eaten as vegetables."

"The fruit is highly poisonous. It is fine to taste a few occasionally, but eating too many can cause mild symptoms of poisoning such as dry mouth, rapid heartbeat, and dilated pupils, and can even lead to death in severe cases."

audience,"···"

audience,"!!!"

This thing is poisonous?

But it's okay, it tastes good, so what if it causes poisoning?

They are not afraid.

[It's alright, we have an antidote. At worst, we'll risk our lives to get the medical center to develop another readily available antidote.]

Yes, as long as we don't die on the spot, we're not afraid.

This wild eggplant is truly delicious, perfectly suited to my taste. I'm willing to take any risks for good food.

The comments continued, but Sang Ning was speechless. She complained, "There's so much to eat, why are you all so foolish as to fight to the death with the mountain eggplant?"

"This is medicine, medicine that can treat rheumatism!"

Rheumatism?

What kind of disease is this?

In this day and age, various diseases have different names, and rheumatism is not included in the concept of intelligent life in the Moykaz universe.

I've never heard of it.

So, Sang Ning gave them a lesson on what rheumatism is.

After she finished explaining the facts, there was a moment of silence in the live stream, followed by a flood of comments.

Can rheumatism be treated with eggplant?

[Is it definitely curable? Can it be cured without breaking the bone and removing the fragments to allow the bone to regrow?]

[Oh my god, if rheumatism could be cured with wild eggplant, why did I break my bones and spend months in the medical ward letting them grow back? I suffered so much.]

There were crowds of people watching the bone-breaking treatment for rheumatism. At first, Sang Ning didn't understand what the bone-breaking procedure was. After she figured it out, she felt terrible.

"So, you have rheumatism?"

Many viewers commented that there are quite a few people suffering from rheumatism, especially intelligent life living on planets like Ocean Star, where only two snowy seasons occupy most of the planet, making them a high-risk group for rheumatism.

However, there has never been an effective treatment for this disease. More than a hundred years ago, a man who suffered from rheumatism studied medicine in order to cure his rheumatism.

He actually found a treatment: break the bone that caused the rheumatism, remove it, and let the bone grow back.

This treatment method is truly bizarre, but it is also genuinely effective.

It's too hard on your bones and too hard on your body.

The months spent lying in the medical pod waiting for bones also put a lot of mental stress on intelligent life.

But there's no other way; this is currently the only effective and fast way to treat rheumatism.

Because of this uniqueness, many people use this method to treat rheumatism, but many more dare not seek treatment and can only rely on medication to alleviate their symptoms.

Now that Sang Ning says that mountain eggplant can cure rheumatism, those viewers who suffer from rheumatism but have not yet received treatment are instantly excited, while those who have been cured have extremely complicated and contradictory feelings.

On the one hand, people hope that Sang Ning can really cure rheumatism, so that those suffering from rheumatism can be relieved.

On the one hand, they hoped she wouldn't be cured, so that those who couldn't be cured could experience the pain they had suffered.

They knew that a painful life needed comparison to feel happiness, and for their own happiness, they felt that Sang Ning wouldn't be any better.

This was emotional, but rationally, they hoped Sang Ning could be cured.
