Chapter 19 Because I’m Poor! (1)



The cave that Phoenix and his team had chosen and arranged was not small. Although it was not wide, it was quite deep and had many twists and turns inside. They camped in the open space between the second and third bends.

The outermost entrance of the cave has been blocked by vines, branches, large rocks and other things. Deeper in the cave, the cave becomes narrower and narrower, leading to the other side. The size is not even enough for them to walk upright, but it also prevents some large and dangerous star beasts from approaching.

This cave can already guarantee the most basic safety.

That is why they can prepare food here in peace.

Of course, since the entrances on both sides of this kind of cave are almost closed, the air inside naturally does not circulate well.

Jing Wenfeng had the most sensitive nose. He was the first to discover the unusually attractive aroma mixed in the barbecue and snake meat soup. With his reminder, others also gradually noticed this aroma.

"It smells really good... This doesn't seem to be the scent of snake meat soup, right?" Mark sniffed it fiercely, a hint of desire in his eyes. "What is this? I want it so much."

Lilith, Xena, and even Phoenix smelled the fragrance.

But unlike others, they not only smelled the fragrance, but also roughly knew who brought it.

- Don't forget, Phoenix and Lilithina have both seen the catnip grown by Ning Miaomiao. Even these three have had close contact with her and can smell a little fragrance on her body.

Now the fragrance was amplified. They frowned and subconsciously wondered if something had happened to Ning Miaomiao.

"Yeah, it smells so good! Did you find some new spices?" Mark shrugged, puzzled and delighted. "Will this make the snake meat even more delicious?"

Feng Xing glanced at Mark subtly, then glanced at the others with a bit of doubt and vigilance. Finally, his eyes fell on Phoenix. He nodded to Phoenix, who was also looking at him, and motioned for the two to talk to the side.

Phoenix didn't understand why, but he didn't refuse.

So, the two of them walked a little further away, to a distance where they could see other people, but not too close that their conversation could be easily heard.

"Senior, I feel that this smell is very wrong. I suspect there is something special." Feng Xing said more subtly.

If Phoenix didn't know the reason, she would have asked what it was.

But now, she just looked at Feng Xing in surprise, and then whispered, "It's okay."

"Nothing?" Feng Xing was quick to notice something. "Senior, do you know why?"

Phoenix was very calm: "Yes, so you don't have to worry."

Feng Xing's eyes flashed: "Then can I know what it is?"

"Don't you know what it is?" Phoenix asked back.

Feng Xing narrowed his eyes and subconsciously showed a harmless smile.

However, many thoughts had already flashed through his mind.

For example, why are there so many third and fourth grade seniors in this team?

For example, why do these senior students protect a first-year pharmacy student so much?

And there was that familiar smell just now. He had smelled it more than once and knew what special fragrance it was, but the senior student said there was no problem.

So they knew?

He seemed to be thinking a lot, but in fact only a short while had passed.

Phoenix, who was standing beside him, waited quietly for him to think. After he came to his senses, he only whispered a warning: "You are a smart person. You should know that there are some things you should pretend not to know, right?"

"Don't worry, senior sister, I know what I'm doing." Feng Xing had an impeccable smile on his face.

Phoenix just glanced at him and said, "Let's go back and eat. After you're full, have a good rest. There are still nineteen days left."

"good."

After the two left and came back, it wasn't that no one noticed them, but no one asked much. After all, everyone was basically unfamiliar with each other. Phoenix was the team leader and Feng Xing was a student in the command department, so it was normal for them to discuss something.

By the time they came back, the enticing aroma had dissipated a lot.

Mark asked several times but still couldn't find the source of the fragrance. Finally, Lilith said that she might have sprinkled a spice into the fire, and that might be the reason for the smell.

Whether it was true or not, Mark seemed to believe it.

There is no way to disbelieve it, the smell is indeed gradually fading away.

Ning Miaomiao, who was eating hard next to her, no longer dared to relax. She was drinking the broth. After taking a sip, she carefully felt the condition inside her body, determined not to let what happened just now happen again.

As time passed, the aroma of barbecue and broth gradually covered the faint fragrance from before, and Mark was quite disappointed.

Although Ning Miaomiao has a big appetite, she still can't eat as much as the people in the individual soldier department.

After she finished eating, she went to a corner and shut herself in. She wrapped herself in a thin blanket and closed her eyes, trying to fall asleep.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard footsteps becoming heavier and heavier, and something seemed to be getting closer and closer to her.

There is also a growing sense of crisis.

Ning Miaomiao suddenly woke up. Her pupils had not yet focused, but her face showed alertness and vigilance as she faced the source of danger.

It also scared people who got close to her.

"I didn't do anything to you!" Mark quickly cleared himself of suspicion.

He had to deny it, mainly because he could already feel several obvious gazes poking at his back.

Moreover, Lin Xiyu, who was not far away, walked over and blocked Ning Miaomiao's side: "Then what are you going to do?"

“I…” Mark gritted his teeth, “It has nothing to do with you, can you please get out of the way?”

"No, I need to protect my teammates." Lin Xiyu retorted directly.

She doesn't have a very good impression of Mark now, and she hasn't forgotten that Mark had been targeting Ning Miaomiao before.

Not to mention that she originally liked Ning Miaomiao (for her height), Ning Miaomiao's talent in alchemy was enough for Lin Xiyu to protect her. After all, doctors also need the help of pharmacists many times.

It would be even better to have a good pharmacist friend!

Compared to doctors, the number of pharmacists is relatively small.

Lin Xiyu's refusal to give in was out of kindness to protect Mark, but it put Mark in a dilemma.

He looked at Ning Miaomiao, who was hiding behind Lin Xiyu, with only half of her face visible, and said with a stiff upper lip: "Well, I have a few words to tell you. Can you talk to me alone?"

Want to chat alone?

Ning Miaomiao's radar called "alert" became straighter.

It is known that Mark has always disliked her.

It is known that Mark was previously affected by her scent.

Even though she knew she hadn't been exposed, Ning Miaomiao didn't want to take the risk. She quickly shook her head: "I have nothing to say to you!"

Mark just felt that he had no words to express his suffering.

But Ning Miaomiao's vigilance only made him realize belatedly how much he had gone too far before, which made Ning Miaomiao so repulsive to him. Although Ning Miaomiao was not close to other people, she was not so repulsive to him either.

After a long pause, Mark said with a stiff face: "I just want to say a few words to you."

Ning Miaomiao immediately refused, and became more alert: "I don't know you well, there's nothing to say."

She emphasized again that she was obviously not prepared to talk to Mark alone.

Mark was in a dilemma, but although he didn't expect this kind of development when he came to find Ning Miaomiao, his anger rose for a moment and then was suppressed.

calm.

He wasn't here to raise the level of hostility.

He came to...

"I'm sorry! I said a lot of hurtful things to you today! I misunderstood you, I was wrong!"

Mark closed his eyes and muttered out his thoughts, not daring to look at other people's expressions.

Shameful.

It's really embarrassing.

But after being severely scolded by Lin Xiyu and thinking of what his father had said, Mark realized that he was indeed too prejudiced before.

Of course, it was also because he could only vent his anger helplessly, while Ning Miaomiao was able to save Xina with her own abilities. This was the fact that shocked Mark even more.

He was actually still in a daze after arriving at the cave, and he hesitated for a long time before coming to apologize to Ning Miaomiao.

But he thought of everything, but he didn't expect Ning Miaomiao to directly refuse to talk to him.

Even after he finished speaking, Ning Miaomiao did not respond.

Mark, completely unaware that Ning Miaomiao was frightened by him and confused by what he said, was so nervous that he started talking even faster: "You saved Senior Xina, and that means you saved me. If you need any help in the future, just tell me and I'll help you!"

This time, Ning Miaomiao finally responded. Her expression became a little strange. She hesitated to speak, and after a long while, she asked suspiciously, "Are you... okay?"

Are you okay?

Okay?

?

What does this mean?

Mark opened his eyes in surprise and saw Ning Miaomiao looking hesitant, but she said firmly, "I saved Senior Xina not because of you, but because Senior Xina is my friend."

mark:"……"

Does that mean he's being overly sentimental?

“Puff.”

When meeting Mark's gaze, Lin Xiyu pursed her lips and looked serious, as if she was not the one who couldn't hold back her laughter just now.

Of course, it would be better if she didn't pinch herself behind her back.

"Hehe, I still want to thank you!" Mark gritted his teeth.

As expected, he still disliked this weak first-year student in the Pharmacy Department who had no ability to protect herself.

After holding it in for a while, Mark said fiercely: "What I just said is effective. It's up to you whether to use it or not!"

After saying that, he stormed off.

This time, he not only didn't want to pay attention to Ning Miaomiao, he also didn't want to pay attention to anyone else.

Oh, no, he still paid attention to Xina. After seeing Xina sleeping, he also went to the corner to be isolated.

This development made Ning Miaomiao blink in confusion.

Lin Xiyu burst out laughing again.

But this time she laughed very restrainedly, and basically only she and Ning Miaomiao could hear it.

At least Mark, who was almost the farthest away from them, couldn't hear it.

"I didn't expect he was here to apologize to his junior. If I had known, I wouldn't have reacted so violently and tried to stop him." Lin Xiyu said to Ning Miaomiao with a smile, "So, it seems he has come to his senses."

"Thank you for coming." Ning Miaomiao said sincerely, "I don't want to be alone with him."

Lin Xiyu was happy.

She smiled and said, "Then can I assume that you consider me a friend as well?"

Ning Miaomiao nodded generously: "Yes, yes."

"That's great." Lin Xiyu simply sat down, leaning against the cave wall next to Ning Miaomiao with a smile. "Junior sister, you know what? Physicians and pharmacists are a perfect match. I'm very talented, and so are you. If we join forces, there will be no injuries on the battlefield in the future that we can't heal!"

Ning Miaomiao's smile froze for a moment: "Battlefield?"

"Yes." Lin Xiyu's face was full of longing. "My dream is to be able to join the Third Legion and save those soldiers who were injured in the battle with the Zerg."

"...It's a great dream." Ning Miaomiao was deeply moved but refused. "But I don't like battlefields. I just want to open a small shop."

Lin Xiyu opened his eyes wide: "If you don't want to go to the battlefield, then why did you take the exam for the army?"

"Ah?" Ning Miaomiao was bewildered. "Does passing the first-class military exam mean I have to go to the battlefield?"

"There are several universities with better pharmacy departments than the First Army. Pharmacists in the First Army undergo physical training and have a certain level of combat effectiveness and self-protection capabilities. They have absolutely no problem defending themselves, let alone fighting the Zerg."

So why did the original owner choose an army?

Did the original owner want to go to the battlefield?

Ning Miaomiao herself didn't want to go, but if the original owner wanted to go, she might really want to go and take a look.

As a fairy, she attaches great importance to cause and effect.

Although she was not the one who took over the body, and she herself was confused, she could not completely ignore the original owner...wait.

Ning Miaomiao silently turned to look at Lin Xiyu: "If I go to another school, what level can my grades reach? Can I get a scholarship?"

"What are your grades?" Lin Xiyu asked.

Ning Miaomiao recalled the original owner's memory. Fortunately, she inherited this memory, so she reported a few results.

Lin Xiyu thought about it and said uncertainly, "I'm sure you'll have no problem getting in, but the scholarship... their scholarships probably won't be as easy to get as the First Army's. I remember the First Army's Pharmacy Department's scholarships were quite generous."

"After all, we don't have many pharmacists in the First Army."

Ning Miaomiao understood, and she said firmly: "Then I know why I chose the First Army!"

Lin Xiyu was curious: "Why?"

Ning Miaomiao said firmly: "Because I'm poor!"

Lin Xiyu: “…”

——

It was inconvenient to move around at night, and Xina's injury would take some time to heal, so they decided to stay in the cave tonight.

But even if the cave is relatively safe, someone needs to be on guard at night.

Of course, Ning Miaomiao and Xina were excluded from the candidates for the night watch first.

The remaining eight people were simply divided into four groups. The two brothers Jing Wenfeng guarded from nine to twelve, Reid and Lilith guarded from twelve to two, Phoenix and Feng Xing guarded from two to four, and the last two, Mark and Lin Xiyu, guarded from four to seven.

The two waves in the middle are the most tiring, so they are led by Lilith and Phoenix.

Ning Miaomiao was also tired today. Although the meat of the B-level star beast replenished her strength, it did not directly replenish her spiritual consciousness. She was easily tired after consuming her spiritual consciousness, so she had no intention of volunteering to keep watch.

There are still so many days left, so let’s keep watch later.

Thinking of this, Ning Miaomiao fell asleep quickly.

But in the middle of the night, Ning Miaomiao suddenly felt a little uneasy.

A pair of eyes seemed to suddenly appear in her dream, staring at her quietly. Their presence didn't seem very strong, but she could still notice them. This feeling made her very distressed.

But soon, the eyes disappeared again.

The dream returned to calm, and Ning Miaomiao's frown relaxed a little.

She didn't know that someone had warned another person late at night, nor did she know that this further confirmed some things.

When she woke up the next day, she was still in a daze.

"Hey, Miaomiao, are you awake?" A head suddenly leaned over. Ning Miaomiao subconsciously shrank back when she felt the gaze, which made Lin Xiyu, who had rushed over excitedly, frown. "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No," Ning Miaomiao reacted and woke up. She shook her head and lifted the blanket. "It's just... I seem to have had a not-so-good dream last night?"

She sounded uncertain. Lin Xiyu raised her eyebrows slightly, wondering, "A bad dream?"

"Well, I don't remember it very clearly, but it seemed like there was a pair of big eyes staring at me in the dream."

After Ning Miaomiao finished speaking, Lin Xiyu shuddered. She looked at Ning Miaomiao with sympathy: "This is really terrible. Were you scared by the star beast yesterday?"

"Is it possible?" Ning Miaomiao couldn't think of any other possibility.

Feng Xing, who was passing by: "..."

Phoenix, who had good hearing, heard the conversation between the two: "..."

Seeing Feng Xing walking away in an awkward manner, Phoenix couldn't help but laugh.

Hina looked over at him in confusion, and Phoenix smiled and said, "It just reminded me of a very interesting thing that happened last night. Junior Feng Xing is really cute."

Feng Xing was sure that Phoenix was talking to him: "..."

So what?

He just looked at Ning Miaomiao a few more times last night, but wasn't he quickly blocked by Phoenix?

He had no ill intentions, he was just curious.

As for making fun of him today?

Ning Miaomiao, unaware of the undercurrents going on over there, woke up, rinsed her mouth, and then started eating breakfast.

Breakfast consisted of snake soup and wild fruits. Lin Xiyu identified and tested the two remaining fruits, and both were found to be non-toxic and edible.

Ning Miaomiao picked up a fruit that looked like a peach but was only half the size of a fist and took a tentative bite.

The fruit tastes more like yellow plum, but the texture is more like crisp plum. Overall, it is quite delicious.

The other kind of fruit is about the size of a watermelon, but the inside is more like a cantaloupe. The middle is full of seeds, the outside is a circle of flesh, and the outermost layer is a thin layer of peel.

After removing the peel and seeds, the flesh is cut into pieces about the length of a palm and the width of two fingers, making it easier to pinch and eat.

The taste of this fruit is more like cantaloupe, sweet, not so crispy, but a bit soft and sticky, with a good taste.

Add a bowl of snake soup and the breakfast is really refreshing and comfortable.

very nice.

After eating and resting well, Ning Miaomiao also got up to help pack up.

Phoenix and Lilith did not stop them. After all, they were a team. They came to ensure Ning Miaomiao's safety and take care of her to a certain extent.

It doesn’t mean that Ning Miaomiao doesn’t have to do anything.

That's not protection, that's spoiling someone into a waste.

There is no fixed route requirement for actual combat exercises, but they always have to pass through a certain area to complete the mission.

After all, the star beasts have a relatively wide range of activities, so if they want to choose a suitable star beast, they need to explore it bit by bit.

After packing up their things and covering the cave again, they set off again.

The target this time is water.

During the actual combat exercise, they only brought enough water to last for three days, and the necessary cold weapons and medical kits.

The seasoning only gave them enough salt for a few days. Yesterday, they relied entirely on the original good taste of the B-level star beast meat and the few seasonings they found to season it.

As for bowls, chopsticks and pots?

Of course, do it yourself.

Now that a day has passed, their water reserves have been reduced by one third. Of course, the sooner you prepare water, the better.

Only with sufficient reserves can we cope with various emergencies.

Phoenix was interested in training her junior students. She looked around and chose the Jing Wenfeng brothers first: "Do you two know how to find water in the forest?"

"I know." Brothers Jing Wenfeng and Jing Wenxing nodded in sync.

"Very good," Phoenix nodded, and she said, "Then you two will lead the team this time."

"Yes." The twins looked at each other and said in unison.

The twins took the lead, and Ning Miaomiao did not fall to the back this time. She was in the middle.

Lin Xiyu and Feng Xing, who were also in the combat basin, were staying next to her. The three of them were the center of protection.

Feng Xing has a handsome face and a gentle temperament, and seems to be a less aggressive person.

When he was next to Ning Miaomiao, his reaction was to smile slightly at her to express his goodwill.

However, Ning Miaomiao's reaction was to walk directly to the other side, leaving Lin Xiyu in the middle.

Lin Xiyu: “?”

The gentle smile on Feng Xing's face froze slightly: "???"

No, is he that scary?

Okay, Ning Miaomiao is timid, he knows.

But Ning Miaomiao was afraid of Mark, not only because he had a bad temper and his physique looked oppressive.

But he wouldn't be that bad, right?

It is obvious that the most common praise he receives is that he is gentle and approachable, so why doesn't this work for Ning Miaomiao?

Ning Miaomiao said don't ask, just follow your intuition.

Feng Xing was disappointed and did not dare to contact Ning Miaomiao again. Lin Xiyu was very happy about Ning Miaomiao's closeness. She and Ning Miaomiao whispered to each other and compared their respective tasks.

Apart from the nails and bones of the Jiji rabbit, all other materials Ning Miaomiao needs to find are plant materials.

And among these materials, two of them actually overlap with Lin Xiyu.

"Then we can look for them together!" Lin Xiyu was very excited. "And I can help you. I recognize several of the species you have here."

"I also know the plants over there." Ning Miaomiao looked at the seven or eight plants that Lin Xiyu needed to find.

Anyway, no matter what kind of plant it is, as long as it is a plant, it is included in the plant encyclopedia.

Of course, the plant encyclopedia is not omnipotent. There may be some plants that are not included, but those are plants that have not been discovered. Once they are discovered, they will be included immediately.

There is no way that there are types that are not included in their tasks.

Lin Xiyu had seen Ning Miaomiao's ability to find and identify plants, so she didn't hesitate and smiled openly: "Okay, then it's a deal that you have to help me, and then I will help you kill the Jiji Rabbit."

"good."

As they talked, they also distracted their attention on the plants next to them.

The water source was not close, and they walked for at least half an hour without hearing any sound of water.

Compared to others, Phoenix was actually a little worried about Ning Miaomiao's physical strength.

After all, judging from physical data, Ning Miaomiao is the one with the weakest physique right now.

Moreover, walking in the jungle is different from walking on flat ground. It requires more physical strength, but... Ning Miaomiao seems to be very adaptable to moving in the jungle?

This is the conclusion drawn by Phoenix, who has been paying attention to Ning Miaomiao.

Although she didn't know why this was the case, Ning Miaomiao was indeed very comfortable in the jungle. She looked around and found that Ning Miaomiao didn't seem to consume much physical energy. She could always take the simplest and most suitable route.

If you look closely, you will find that Ning Miaomiao seems to be taking the safest position with every step.

People like Phoenix who often experience various environments will subconsciously choose a safer position, but Ning Miaomiao... she seems to be different?

It's like, it's already instinct.

Phoenix was thinking about it and met Ning Miaomiao's puzzled eyes.

It turned out that she had been looking at Ning Miaomiao for too long, which made Ning Miaomiao aware of it and turned back.

"Are you tired? How about I take you for a walk for a while?" Phoenix asked directly.

Feng Xing's expression next to him became subtle, and Mark's expression seemed to be distorted as he finally accepted Ning Miaomiao.

Lin Xiyu was shocked at first, then speechless. She complained, "Senior, don't say Miaomiao is your biological sister. I don't think Jing Wenfeng and the others take care of each other like this."

"Is the gap in their strength so big?" Phoenix glanced at the twin brothers.

Twin brothers: “…”

They are twins. It would be abnormal if their strength difference was ridiculous, okay?

"Sister, right?" Phoenix actually called her sister.

Ning Miaomiao: “…”

Lilith and Xina next to them: "..."

"Senior, you really don't have to be like this." Xina's mouth twitched fiercely.

The individual soldiers are all humanoid monsters.

Take Xina for example. She was obviously very weak when she was poisoned yesterday, but once the poison was cleared and she had a night's rest, her strength has recovered by at least 50%.

Don't underestimate this 50%. With this 50%, even Mark can't get any good treatment in her hands.

She has once again secured her position in the top three in combat effectiveness.

At this time, she was no longer within the protection of others. After all, even if she had not recovered, she could still beat a group of junior and senior students who were not from the individual soldier department.

It was just that Lilith selfishly wanted her to be in a safer position, closer to Ning Miaomiao.

Phoenix was just joking. Seeing that Ning Miaomiao didn't respond, she just shrugged and pretended that she hadn't said anything.

As for taking Ning Miaomiao along, the topic of whether to carry her on his back or hug her ended there.

Fortunately, less than twenty minutes later, they heard the sound of water.

The sound of water was very loud, and they had some guesses when they heard the sound. Finally, they were not surprised when they saw a small waterfall with a large pool of water below it, and even a stream of considerable width connected to it.

This is living water.

Secondly, there were many animals of all sizes drinking water by the lake surrounding the waterfall. There were docile-looking sheep-like creatures with huge horns, black snakes with round heads that were probably non-venomous and only as thick as calves, and strange beasts with long noses but bodies more like rhinoceroses...

Several of them are herbivorous star beasts, and some are carnivorous star beasts, but everyone drinks water here, proving that the water source here is at least non-toxic.

"Reid, Lin Xiyu, Feng Xing, the three of you come with me to make some water storage items. Lilith, you take two people to start a fire and start boiling water, and the rest of you go get water." Phoenix quickly assigned the tasks.

It's usually safe to stay near a water source.

Even among star beasts, most will instinctively protect the environment near water sources, so hunting rarely occurs near water sources.

Phoenix and the other three wouldn't go too far, so they just used plants nearby to make water bottles and buckets.

In the wild, when there are no purification potions or other items that can directly purify water, they need to boil the water before drinking it.

Of course, if you really don't have the conditions, drinking raw water is not a bad idea. At least for students in the individual soldier department, drinking raw water has almost no effect. But if you have the conditions, don't take even the slightest risk.

Ning Miaomiao was assigned to fetch water, and she was with Jing Wenxing and Xina.

She was holding a small bucket with a capacity of about 5 liters. When she returned with the bucket of water, Lilith and the others had already found dry firewood and started a fire.

Ning Miaomiao clearly felt that because they made a fire, the waterside star beasts, which were already a little panicked by their arrival, became even more chaotic and quietly moved away from them.

After they moved aside, Ning Miaomiao was able to see the situation in the water.

"Huh."

She raised a surprised cry, attracting Xina's attention first: "What's wrong?"

"Do you see anything in the water?"

Because Ning Miaomiao's tone was not anxious or afraid, but rather confused, Xina was not too worried and just followed her to take a look.

She made sure she looked carefully, but she really didn't see anything. She wondered, "What are you talking about?"

"Can't you see?" Ning Miaomiao blinked. She pulled Xina's arm and helped her adjust her posture. "Do you see it now?"

Xina saw that Ning Miaomiao's expression was too serious. Although she was confused, she still watched carefully.

Then - she saw that there seemed to be a layer of water in the water that did not blend into the other water flows, and seemed a bit out of place.

To be honest, when Xina saw that layer, she was shocked: "What is that?"

"That kind is called Hidden Water Grass. It seems to be very valuable." Ning Miaomiao's eyes sparkled, as if they were shining with the light of money. "I want to pick it."

"...Let me pick it for you." Xina shook her head helplessly.

"I'll go." Ning Miaomiao refused. She glanced at Xina's wound and said, "You'd better not get it wet. And are you sure you can find it after you go in? Can you take it off intact?"

"But it's too dangerous for you to go alone. I can't let you take the risk alone."

Ning Miaomiao didn't insist on this matter. She asked, "Then can I have someone accompany me?"

"Okay." Xina looked to the other side. "Let's talk about it after they're done."

Fortunately, Ning Miaomiao was not in a hurry. After she finished speaking, she went back and forth to help carry water. Phoenix and the others came back soon. They were holding large and small water storage items in their hands. They came over to continue polishing them, then cleaned them and scalded them with boiling water.

Boil water in pots and then put it into various containers.

Each of them also has his or her own wooden kettle. The kettle is not big, with a capacity of 500ml, but it is made quite exquisitely.

Ning Miaomiao got her own one, which had the word "Ning" engraved on it.

They filled their own kettles with water and tightened the screws, and then put them in cold water to soak. The rest of the water was placed in the space container after it was filled - the space container environment was vacuum and sterile, but time still passed as usual.

That is to say, the food, boiled water, etc. placed inside will deteriorate more slowly due to the environment inside the space device, but it does not mean that it can keep warm.

That's just perfect.

After all, they don't want to drink hot water in this weather.

When Phoenix and his team were making the water container, they had already checked the surroundings. Overall, there was no threat. The location they chose was also just right, not too far from the water source, so they could see the situation there, but not too close to the water source and stimulate the star beasts near the water source.

Although there are many star beasts that meet the level of their mission near the water source, no one dares to go there rashly.

It was still early, too early to make lunch. Xina told Phoenix about Ning Miaomiao's desire to pick a certain plant from the bottom of the water. Phoenix was still thinking that the Hidden Water Grass sounded familiar when Lin Xiyu next to him exclaimed, "Huh? Is that really the Hidden Water Grass? Did you really see it? If there was Hidden Water Grass, Xina's injuries would heal faster."

Xina's body recovered quickly, but the wound on her arm did not heal quickly. After all, the giant snake's teeth were really sharp. Although the wound was not very wide, it was indeed quite deep.

Although it will be fine in two days, no one can guarantee that there will be no fighting in these two days.

"I was wondering why it sounded familiar," Phoenix also realized.

She had indeed heard of this plant, and it was one of the rare medicinal herbs. Its rarity lay in the difficulty of finding it.

Just like Xina clearly heard Ning Miaomiao's hint just now, but still needed Ning Miaomiao to help her find the angle to realize that something was wrong. The hidden water grass is just as its name suggests, almost invisible in the water.

Even if you go into the water rashly, you won't notice anything wrong, because if you don't examine it carefully, it will feel like the flow of water, and it won't entangle you like other aquatic plants, they are too soft.

"This hidden water grass is quite expensive, so it's worth taking it back." Lin Xiyu looked at Ning Miaomiao with sparkling eyes, "Miaomiao, you're really amazing!"

Ning Miaomiao smiled and looked at Phoenix eagerly: "So can I go pick it?"

"Okay." Phoenix stretched his limbs. "I'll go down with you, but you need to do a complete warm-up exercise before going down."

As long as I can pick it, it’s fine.

Ning Miaomiao had no objection to warm-up exercises.

Just kidding, they can keep all the items they picked on Planet Z666 except those required for the mission.

Even if she had budgeted to leave some money for Xina's treatment, how much could Xina use alone?

She could have more left.

Well, at worst she could keep some of it as medicine for the next period of time, but it didn’t matter. As long as she could take some out, she would have enough money for food for several months!

She's not greedy at all, really.

and……

It was also at this time that Ning Miaomiao suddenly realized what the planet Z666 meant.

It is an undeveloped pristine star.

It has many dangers.

But at the same time, it also has many good things and many treasures.

As long as she has a keen eye and can discover more rare medicinal herbs, she will be able to make a fortune!

Of course, the most important thing now is the hidden water grass in the water.

After completing the warm-up exercises required by Phoenix, Ning Miaomiao went into the water with Phoenix.
