He was also worried that something might happen to Mo Shuwan, so he kept waiting.

When Mo Shuwan entered the bathroom, Wen Zuo was already soaking in the bathtub. The rich fruity aroma immediately wafted towards her, but Mo Shuwan knew that Wen Zuo was not actually relaxed. She went over and squatted down next to the bathtub, gently placing another fruit placed next to it into the bathtub as well.

The bright red fruit melted into juice the moment it hit the water, and a look of pain gradually appeared on Wen Zuo's face. Mo Shuwan stared at the juice in the bathtub, and only after seeing black grime floating up did she look away, turn around, sit down with her back against the bathtub, and open the forum to continue searching for posts about the competition.

Ding-dong—

Zheng Shanhe: I am Zheng Shanhe.

Seeing this opening line, Mo Shuwan chuckled and typed "I know" to it. The other side seemed to be waiting and replied quickly.

Zheng Shanhe: I remember you collected a lot of things in the dark world. Do you have any medicinal herbs that can heal dark wounds?

Mo Shuwan: Please wait a moment.

"Zheng Shanhe asked me if I had any medicinal herbs to treat dark wounds." As she spoke, Mo Shuwan took out everything she had collected in the dark world from her storage space. The most numerous items were black crystals, followed by black fruits of various shapes.

Because of the unexpected incident, Bus did not retrieve what they obtained in the mission world. Later, she was busy improving her own strength, so she has not yet asked Bus what these fruits are or what their effects are.

"I also have...a few here."

"Hmm, let me see if I have any here first." After saying that, Mo Shuwan pointed to a pile of things on the ground and asked the bus.

The bus remained silent, but soon, Mo Shuwan's phone displayed detailed information about all the fruits. She had only intended to take a casual look, but her eyes widened when she saw the effects of the fruits listed.

These fruits were mostly the materials needed for the second volume of the manual! They later found out that the materials for the second volume were not collected one by one like in the first volume. Instead, several materials had to be mixed together to produce an effect, and most of these materials could only be obtained by trading with other passengers.

To put it simply, even the bus didn't have those precious materials. They could only exchange them for other passengers using points or items. However, Mo Shuwan later checked on the trading forum and found that there were very few of those missing materials available there, and each one was priced exorbitantly.

This is one of the reasons why the manual they used was criticized so harshly.

With so many suddenly appearing here, even though Mo Shuwan tried her best to control her emotions, she couldn't help but reveal her joy. "Wen Zuo! We're rich!"

"Um?"

"Most of the fruit we picked in the dark world is material needed for the second volume of our manual! We don't need it right now, so we can sell one or two of them or exchange them for some medicinal herbs that we desperately need right now." As Mo Shuwan spoke, she couldn't help but swallow hard at the fruit on the ground. "If we sell them, we can finish the first volume of the manual for improving physical constitution."

Wen Zuo's eyes were bloodshot from the pain, but when he heard Mo Shuwan's words, he gently curled his lips and said, "Mm."

After all, Zheng Shanhe was still waiting. Mo Shuwan forced herself to calm down, and among these introductions, she actually found a fruit that could heal the dark wound.

"It can effectively curb the spread of dark wounds, but it cannot cure them."

She looked at it more carefully and found that there was nothing else besides the fruit. After thinking for a while, she sent a message to Liu Dongcheng and Chen Jiaxu. Soon after, she received the news that they did not have any medicinal herbs that could treat the Dark Wound.

Mo Shuwan turned to look at Wen Zuo and saw that his forehead was covered in sweat. Knowing that he was enduring excruciating pain, she did not disturb him.

Mo Shuwan: There is only one, which can only stop the spread of the dark wound, but cannot cure it.

On the other side, Zheng Shanhe stared intently at the message sent by Mo Shuwan. The despair in his eyes was gradually replaced by hope. His fingers holding the phone were even trembling slightly. It took him a long time to type out a single line of text.

Zheng Shanhe: It's already very good. Are you willing to sell it to me?

Mo Shuwan: Of course.

Upon receiving Mo Shuwan's affirmative reply, Zheng Shanhe breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair, feeling a lump in his throat. After all these years, he had thought there was no hope left.

Lin Xun, who had hurried into the courtyard, noticed Zheng Shanhe's unusual behavior and turned to walk over. "What's wrong?"

Zheng Shanhe quickly composed himself and smiled, "I've found the medicinal herbs that can stop the dark wounds."

Lin Xun, who had only come over to joke, was stunned, and an expression of disbelief gradually appeared on his face. "You really found it?"

"Yes, in this dark world, she's willing to sell to me."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xun smiled and said, "It wasn't in vain that you've been working so hard in the small world for so many years. The danger you encountered this time was worth it. I have important matters to attend to, so I'll be going now."

Zheng Shanhe nodded.

Lin Xun did indeed come with important intelligence this time, and it was already a waste of time to be able to chat with Zheng Shanhe for a few minutes. However, after walking a few steps, he stopped and looked at Zheng Shanhe, "Does the other party know how precious that medicinal herb is?"

Zheng Shanhe was stunned for a moment, and just as he opened his mouth, he saw Lin Xun's expression change drastically. Then, without saying goodbye, he left immediately. It seemed that the situation had changed. Of course, it was not his place to worry about it now.

Thinking of Lin's question earlier, Zheng Shanhe remained silent for a long time before quietly picking up his phone to send a message to Mo Shuwan.
