Chapter 115, exclusively published on Jinjiang Literature City: The collected medicinal herbs finally found a use...
Miao Jinfeng and the other women were so horrified that they clutched their chests and backed away: "My God, what is this?!"
The younger men, being the bolder ones, observed more closely after their initial shock and then said, "It looks a bit like an enlarged carriage? It even has glass windows! And the bottom... it doesn't look like wood, could it be made of iron!?"
Some even boldly speculated: "Could this be a celestial being's mount?!"
Lu Xuan said, "These vehicles are called hover buses. They are the means of transportation we will be using next. They are much faster than horse-drawn carriages. With them, we can reach the nearest disaster relief gathering point as quickly as possible."
Wu Yang keenly observed, "Hover buses, hoverboards... these big things can fly like skateboards?"
"Of course!" Xiong Mao, who had seen buses before, exclaimed eagerly, "Just look under the bus for yourselves. It's floating right now!"
Everyone then looked down and exclaimed, "Wow! It really is flying!"
The children clapped their hands excitedly and tugged at their parents, shouting, "Dad! I want to go up and play!"
Lu Xuan opened the car door: "Go on up and take a look."
Lu Qing, as a member of the Lu family, took the lead and got into the car with Miao Jinfeng and several other female relatives. The others quickly followed.
The interstellar bus is much more comfortable than modern buses. Although it's called a bus, the interior is more like a long-distance coach or a high-speed rail with soft seats. The seats are soft and comfortable, and can be reclined.
When there are few people and a lot of luggage, you can simply fold or remove the seats and put them aside.
To make room for more passengers, Lu Xuan removed the seats from the bus carrying the livestock beforehand.
"This is much more comfortable than an oxcart." Miao Jinfeng casually found a seat, sat down, and swayed back and forth, her eyes full of surprise.
Wu Yinyin, Aunt Zhang, and Ye Ping, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, also sat in other seats nearby, touching the soft armrests, their faces showing the same fondness.
Zhang Chengming, Li Jing, Li Tuo, and the others already knew what the interior was like, so they weren't in a hurry to go up. Instead, they went to look at the interior of the RV.
There are comfortable seats where you can sit and drink tea, several spacious and comfortable beds, places to cook and boil water, and even an internal outhouse!
This is clearly a mobile house!
As expected, the gods are the best for Lu Xuan.
Envy was inevitable, but they knew that Lu Xuan deserved all of this; they were already very lucky to be able to catch a bus.
After the villagers had looked around the bus and RV inside and out and were amazed for a long time, Li Tie shouted, "Alright, everyone hurry up and grab your backpacks, get on the bus and choose your seats. We're about to set off."
Aunt Liu slapped her thigh, "That's right! We also need to choose our seats! The view from the front row or back row, by the window or by the aisle, is vastly different. If you go up too late, you won't be able to get a seat you like!"
The others thought it made sense, so they stopped looking around and rushed to get on the bus with their bags.
While Li Tie was counting the number of people in the two vehicles, Old Master Zhang asked Lu Xuan curiously, "How are these vehicles driven? Do we need to leave two oxen tied to the front of the vehicle?"
As he spoke, he craned his neck to look at the front of the vehicle, but it seemed he didn't see any harnesses for tethering cattle.
Viewers in the live stream: Pfft!
[Hahaha, what the hell is this?! Tying a cow in front of a bus!]
The scene is too beautiful to imagine.
[I couldn't help but imagine it, ahhh! Maisie!!]
[I laughed so hard.]
Lu Xuan rubbed his forehead, his lips twitching involuntarily. He opened the control screen and said, "No need for oxen or horses. The vehicle starts with energy stones. Select the direction and destination here, choose automatic driving, and the vehicle will start moving on its own."
Lu Xuan explained the operating instructions to Li Tie and Ge Yuan, who was in charge of another bus, and both of them studied very diligently.
Halfway through the lesson, looking at the word 'destination' displayed on the screen, Li Tie suddenly realized, "Speaking of which, where exactly are we going?"
Lu Xuan said, "Go south."
Li Jing, who was secretly learning from the village chief, and Zhang Chengming and the others wondered, "Isn't it going to rain heavily for the next few months? Won't the rain be even heavier if we go south?"
Lu Xuan looked out the window at the gloomy weather. "Don't forget that winter is coming after this downpour."
The northern winter during the catastrophe was not a region where humans should set foot.
Going east or west is out of the question.
To the east lies the sea, and to the west, barren wastelands stretch as far as the eye can see. What would we do there, in this resource-scarce region beyond the Great Wall? Just starve?
Their only option was the south.
Of course, the south also covers a large area, and they need to find inhabited areas as soon as possible...
Lu Xuan casually pulled out six drones.
When I could only buy silver blind boxes, I only got two drones. After unlocking the gold blind boxes, drones became worthless, and I could get one every day or two.
Lu Xuan handed the six drones to Li Jing, Zhang Chengming, and six other young men, taught them how to operate them, and then launched all the drones to search from the air for any living people or towns that might exist nearby.
Viewers suddenly realized that the streamer didn't lack supplies, so there was no need to look for other disaster victims.
After seeing the question in the live chat, Lu Xuan nodded and said, "It's not really necessary. The main purpose is to understand the situation outside."
Only after understanding the situation can one decide whether to take the villagers to find another place to stay; or to leave the villagers in the disaster-stricken area they encountered while he wandered around; or to have everyone stay together.
After launching the drone, the two buses and one RV selected a general direction to the south and officially started their journey.
As soon as the bus started moving, the villagers inside became excited again.
Aunt Liu exclaimed in surprise, "It's already moving? It's gone further forward? I can't feel any shaking at all!"
Liu Daxi, standing nearby, exclaimed, "Don't forget this is a hovercar! It's not even touching the uneven ground, of course it won't shake!"
Sitting next to them, Liu Rong looked outside excitedly: "Not only does it not sway, but it's also so fast! Look at the scenery outside, I didn't even have time to take a good look before it passed by."
Even without his prompting, the little rascals who insisted on sitting by the window were already pressed against the car window, yelling, "So fast! Hahaha—"
Other adults didn't react much better.
As the scenery rushed past the window, the indigenous villagers, riding in high-tech transportation for the first time, unanimously opened their mouths wide and stared with wide eyes, revealing their astonishment at never having seen anything like it before.
Inside the RV, Lei Yan, Lu Qing, and Lu Chen's reactions weren't much better than the other villagers'.
The viewers in the live stream watched their reactions with great interest and laughed. Some people directly mocked these ancient natives as bumpkins, but most people with emotional intelligence only made some good-natured jokes selectively.
They're also hoping the streamer will give away more good stuff in the next giveaway, and only someone with a screw loose would mock the streamer's family.
Lu Xuan glanced at a few sarcastic comments but didn't pay them much attention.
He sat relaxed on the sofa, holding a cup of warm fruit tea in his hand, and opened the system backend while drinking it.
After 72 hours of pop-up recommendations, the number of online users and fans experienced an explosive surge, reaching an astonishing 200 million and 60 million respectively.
Not only did they achieve the milestone of '100 million online users' and receive a reward of 500,000, but their average daily gift earnings also reached 1 million points.
Even after deducting the daily fixed expenses for blind boxes, energy supplies, and one or two bottles of evolution fluid per day, there are still 600,000 to 700,000 left.
The increase was substantial, but unfortunately, such addictive growth is unlikely to be seen again anytime soon.
Audience: Are you sure your definition of "short time" is the same as what we think it means?
Lu Xuan didn't show it on his face, but in reality, he looked at the latest data with great satisfaction before opening the system message that had been flashing for a while.
[Achieved '1000 hours of live streaming', reward: 10,000 points, 100 cubic meter space ring *1, simple potion-making device *1. Next stage achievement: 3000 hours of live streaming.]
The reward tiers are clearly far inferior to those for fan or spending achievements.
However, as the only achievement that requires absolutely no technical skill, it is understandable that it was originally a subsidy from the Star Alliance in a sense.
Even the least popular streamer can get a 100-cubic-meter space ring if they keep streaming for two or three months.
With a portable space, you can do a lot of things, and maybe it can even boost the previously sluggish popularity.
However, for Lu Xuan, points and rings were just extras; what was worth paying attention to was the potion-making device.
Recently, Lu Xuan has found quite a few smart home appliances or industrial instruments in the golden blind box, and even drew an extra medical device, but he really didn't find a medicine manufacturing device.
Lu Xuan glanced at the introduction.
[Simple Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Instrument: This instrument can extract and concentrate useful components from raw pharmaceutical materials to process them into finished pharmaceutical products.]
The pharmaceutical manufacturing instrument resembles a small water dispenser, with a transparent circular box for storing raw materials on top and an extraction instrument below.
Add the medicinal materials to the material box, and the operation screen will display the total amount and analyze the effective components contained therein, indicating the type of medicine that can be made and the yield.
The medicines come in various forms, including pills, tablets, powders, sprays, and capsules, and can be customized to meet specific needs.
There were no doctors in Yunlu Village, and the villagers rarely had a chance to use the herbs they collected in the mountains. After the general store opened, they exchanged almost all of them for the more convenient interstellar pills and capsules, and Lu Xuan had stockpiled quite a lot of herbs.
He casually took out a certain number of herbs from his spatial storage and put them into the materials box.
The main effects of the herbs are cooling the blood and stopping bleeding, clearing heat and detoxifying, and antibacterial and anti-inflammatory.
For external injury medications, it is recommended to make them into sprays; for anti-inflammatory drugs, it is customary to make them into capsules; and for medications that clear heat and detoxify, it is recommended to make them into tablets or powders for children, which are convenient to dissolve and take.
After selecting children's medicine, a friendly reminder appeared, suggesting that sugar could be added to improve the taste.
Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow. "That's quite thoughtful."
The onlookers looked proud. Of course! Everything related to the welfare of minors is a top priority in the Star Alliance!
Lu Xuan added a small amount of candy to the material box and pressed confirm. The machine quickly emitted a slight buzzing sound, and the medicine was ready in less than a minute.
The screen then reminded him to bring his own container.
The online store had various sizes of empty medicine bottles in its medicine category. Lu Xuan glanced at them briefly, bought a few hundred bottles, took out a few and put them in the medicine dispensing compartment. The prepared medicine was automatically filled in and sealed. The finished product was almost indistinguishable from the ones he bought in the online store.
The medicine bottle is automatically printed with the name of the medicine and its specific effects, as thoughtful as ever.
Lu Xuan smiled with satisfaction. "It really is a good product."
With this, all the medicinal herbs in his space, except for precious ones like ginseng and lingzhi, finally found a use.
Suddenly, the communicator rang.
The people operating the drone have spotted it!
