Upon seeing the phrase "you'll gain friendship," Mo Shuwan couldn't help but smile. The post ended there; apart from the first two passenger replies, no one else appeared. She wondered if no one had clicked on the post or if everyone was just lurking and reading.

Moreover, none of these posts have a posting time, so it's impossible to know exactly when they were posted.

Inside a bus, a young man suddenly shouted, "Holy crap! Someone tipped me!"

"...What idiot would actually give you a tip?"

"Don't say anything. I told you that anyone who gives me a tip will gain my friendship. Now this cutie has gained my friendship and is already my friend. Don't insult my friend!"

"...Your friendship is so cheap, it only costs a few points."

Just as Mo Shuwan was about to exit the post, she noticed a new reply at the bottom of the screen.

Smiley face: Hahahahahahaha! Thank you so much for the little cutie who gave me the tip! I now solemnly declare that you have earned my smiley face's friendship!

Mo Shuwan was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carefully and realized that the "little cutie" he mentioned was referring to her...

Hope: Hello, thank you for your post, it was very helpful to me.

Smiley face: Little cutie, don't go! Now that we're friends, tell me which bus you were on and let's add each other as friends!

Mo Shuwan stared at those words and hesitated.

Meanwhile, the young man holding his phone waited and waited but received no reply, looking completely bewildered. "What does this mean? My little cutie won't add me as a friend? Aren't we already friends?"

"..." The others looked at him with the kind of concern one would show for someone with intellectual disabilities.

Just as the young man was feeling incredibly hurt, he finally saw a sentence appear below the post. Looking at that line of text, he wondered if his eyes were playing tricks on him: "Private message? Does the forum have a private message function?"

"It seems your new friend is a complete newbie."

Young man: "..."

Smiley face: Cutie, the forum doesn't have a private messaging function. All communication can only be done in the posts. Tell me your bus number and name, and I'll add you as a friend.

Hope: Then why should I use a nickname instead of my real name?

The young man pondered these words, then repeated them to his teammates, asking in surprise, "What do you mean, little cutie?"

His teammates all looked at him as if he were an idiot, and none of them offered him an explanation.

After replying to that sentence, Mo Shuwan left the post because Wen Zuo had finally replied to the message she sent.

Wen Zuo: I just finished soaking in the marrow cleansing potion. I checked the price of Qingyang Fruit, it's very expensive. The bus only gave us 1,000 points for the two Qingyang Fruits we had. They really rip us off.

Mo Shuwan: Hmm! Angry! But I just looked at the posts on the forum. As long as we complete five mission worlds, we can unlock the trading forum. There's something called a trading card. One trading card can be used ten times. We can use one chance from the trading card to get back the things that the bus took away.

Wen Zuo: That's good. Otherwise, it would be a huge loss if the bus took away our hard-earned goods at a low price and we had to buy them back at a high price.

Mo Shuwan: Yes, you calculate how many points you need to exchange for Luo Tao Guo. This time, let's exchange for Luo Tao Guo first. Just like last time, I'll buy weapons, and you'll buy medicine and defense items.

Wen Zuo: Okay.

A moment later, Wen Zuo replied: 100,000 points, what about yours?

Mo Shuwan: I have a slightly lower amount than you, only 80,000. By the way, I saw some posts about this manual on the forum. There were a lot of complaints, mainly because all the medicinal materials in this manual consume a lot of points, which most passengers cannot afford. We haven't invested much yet, and we can still switch to other manuals. However, my idea is to continue using this manual. What do you think?

Wen Zuo: I also think we can continue to use it. Although this manual requires a lot of investment, each additional herb used will significantly improve various aspects of the body.

Mo Shuwan: Yes, the original poster of that post also said that the slow effect is not because the secret manual is ineffective, but because we can't afford to exchange for the medicinal materials. So let's exchange for Luo Tao fruit first. We still have about 500,000 points in total, but I plan to give 50,000 points to Yang Zhou and the others. Of course, I won't give them away for nothing. I'll tell you the details later.

Wen Zuo: That's fine too.

After telling Wen Zuo, Mo Shuwan turned off her phone and opened the redemption board. Reluctantly, she spent 80,000 points to redeem Qingyang Fruit, Baihua Fruit, and Luotao Fruit. Having already seen Qingyang Fruit, Mo Shuwan focused on the remaining two fruits after redeeming them.

The Hundred Flowers Fruit lives up to its name, its colorful appearance befitting the name "Hundred Flowers." The Luo Tao Fruit, on the other hand, looks somewhat like a peach, but it is quite different from ordinary peaches because it is very large; two palms cannot completely enclose it.

"First, soak the Qingyang fruit in water for half an hour to remove the impurities on the surface..."

Looking at the description in the manual, Mo Shuwan exchanged for a basin, put the palm-sized Qingyang fruit in it, and then exchanged for ten bottles of mineral water. She only stopped pouring water after submerging the entire fruit.

"When eating a multi-flower fruit, you need to separate the different colored segments and eat them in order."

She had no choice but to put down the manual, exchange for a few more bowls, and draw her dagger to cut the fruit. However, just as she was about to start, she saw the bloodstains on the dagger, coughed, washed the dagger slightly, and went straight to cutting the fruit.

After she separated all the different colored fruit pieces, the Qingyang Fruit was ready to be taken out. After taking out the Qingyang Fruit, Mo Shuwan stared at the basin and looked at it carefully. There was a layer of black impurities inside.

"The Qingyang Fruit can be eaten directly after soaking." Thinking of her experience with the Marrow Cleansing Medicine last time, Mo Shuwan sighed helplessly. Just to be on the safe side, she took the Qingyang Fruit to the bathroom.

Although eating in the bathroom was a bit strange, Mo Shuwan didn't care about that anymore. She thought for a moment, then sat in the bathtub and took a bite of the fruit. The expected pain didn't happen. Instead, she felt a warm current flowing through her body, which felt very comfortable.

But she still dared not let her guard down, and ate the fruit with the constant caution that pain could strike at any moment. Only after she finished the whole fruit without any problems did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Mo Shuwan climbed out of the bathtub and ate the fruit pulp of the Hundred Flower Fruit in the color order written in the manual. She carefully examined it, but there was no particularly obvious change, so she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Luo peaches can be eaten simply by peeling them."

This time it was simple. She peeled the whole peach and ate it as a snack. It made her feel warm and comfortable, and she relaxed.

Wen Zuo: I have something I'd like to discuss with you. Can I come to your room later?

Mo Shuwan: Okay, sure.

[Wen Zuo requests entry into your room. Do you agree?]
