After obtaining the Grade A potion, Fang Qingdai immediately gave it to Qingluan to drink.
Qingluan's originally deathly pale face visibly began to regain its color after drinking the potion, and in a short while, the little girl's eyes regained their sparkle.
"elder sister……"
Qingluan perked up and immediately rushed into Fang Qingdai's arms, acting coquettishly.
Seeing that she was in better spirits, Fang Qingdai's anxiety gradually eased.
The two sisters hugged each other, comforting each other that everything was alright. It was a heartwarming scene, and Xiao Mao watched with a face full of 'love'. But then, a sudden change occurred in the next second!
Qingluan's smiling expression suddenly froze, and then a look of pain appeared on her face!
Fang Qingdai was holding the child, so she was the one who felt Qingluan's body temperature rise most directly!
The temperature was scorching, and even Qingluan's breath, buried in Fang Qingdai's neck, made her panic!
"Qingluan? Qingluan, what's wrong?"
Fang Qingdai gently removed the girl from her arms and, seeing the little girl's face flushed red, was momentarily at a loss for what to do!
"Dr. Mao! Dr. Mao, please take a look at my sister, what's wrong with her?"
Mao Ling was startled when she saw this, thinking that her treasured Grade A potion had gone bad due to being stored for too long. She quickly stepped forward and took the potion from Qing Luan to examine it.
Xiao Mao also nervously moved closer.
Fang Qingdai felt her entire body tense up, but then she suddenly heard Mao Ling exclaim in surprise, "How could this be?"
She reached out, and a faint white light emanated from her palm. After her palm circled around Qingluan's body, Mao Ling's expression became increasingly strange.
"What happened?" Fang Qingdai was extremely anxious, looking at Mao Ling expectantly, waiting for her verdict.
Mao Ling's expression changed several times, her eyes filled with complex emotions: "She has activated her superpower."
Fang Qingdai was stunned, equally incredulous: "How could this be? Aren't superpowers usually activated between the ages of ten and fifteen?"
Xiao Mao's eyes widened in surprise: "Could my sister be a genius?"
Seeing Xiao Mao keep calling her "my sister," Mao Ling couldn't take it anymore and punched him on the head again!
Amid Xiao Mao's grimacing cries of pain, Mao Ling looked at Fang Qingdai and explained, "It doesn't necessarily have to be between ten and fifteen years old. A very small number of people with special abilities may have their abilities activated earlier or later."
"Qingluan has a wood-type ability, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will indeed activate naturally between the ages of ten and fifteen, but..."
Mao Ling smiled and said, "It's also the little girl's luck. The Grade A potion contains a large amount of biotin extracted from plants. The high concentration of biotin activated her superpower ahead of schedule."
Fang Qingdai felt half relieved, as long as the medication didn't have side effects.
"Dr. Mao, how long will my sister's condition last? Are there any other risks?"
Mao Ling shook her head: "Not necessarily. Some people will have a fever for three to five days, some for one or two days, but you don't need to be too nervous. I haven't seen any cases of fever causing problems so far."
"Take her back and let her rest." Mao Ling waved her hand, then added as if she remembered something, "By the way, if possible, give her as much water as possible, to drink or to soak in when the temperature is too high."
"Water nourishes wood. Wood-type ability users during the activation period are like flowers. With careful watering, their ability talents will be stronger and they can go further in the future."
Fang Qingdai understood.
With ample water, the roots will grow strong and healthy, allowing the plant to flourish even more in the future!
Fang Qingdai sincerely thanked them again, then hugged Qingluan and, not forgetting to put away the bottle of Grade A potion, said goodbye to the Mao family aunt and nephew.
"I'll take you, sis!" Xiao Mao grinned at Mao Ling, then dashed off after Fang Qingdai, afraid that if he was a little late, his aunt would settle scores later!
After leaving the office, Fang Qingdai thanked Xiao Mao again: "I'll remember this favor. I don't have the ability to repay you in other ways for now, but I can provide you with a batch of Grade A water, um... ten liters!"
Xiao Mao makes money as a middleman, and his business is thriving. He can make money by reselling goods, but if the goods are scarce, he can use them to build relationships and accumulate connections!
Fang Qingdai could also tell that Xiao Mao's family had quite a background, and giving him ten liters of Grade A water would be very useful.
Xiao Mao was stunned. She grabbed Fang Qingdai and exclaimed in a low voice, "Ten liters?! The base only sells twenty liters of Grade A water a month. Where did you get ten liters, sis?"
Grade A water is not as precious as Grade A potions, but there are still wealthy high-ranking officials who are willing to snatch it up to entertain distinguished guests, making things easier to accomplish.
Xiao Mao couldn't understand how Fang Qingdai could have so many resources that money couldn't buy!
Fang Qingdai coughed twice: "My relative from the Vermilion Bird Base..."
"Oh, I see, I see!" Xiao Mao suddenly realized, then looked on with envy: "Your relative must have quite a bit of influence at the Vermilion Bird Base, right?"
Fang Qingdai smiled but remained silent.
Xiao Mao didn't press further, but instead rubbed his hands together and smiled obsequiously, "When can we pick up the goods? By the way, sis, what price are you going to charge for this Grade A water source?"
The base's Grade A water source costs 20 points per liter, but you have to fight for it. Without connections, you might not get a liter even after waiting for ten years!
Grade A water sources on the black market fetch very high prices. Xiao Mao has handled water that costs 50 points per liter, 80 points per liter, and when he encounters someone waiting to entertain a distinguished guest, he can sell it for 100 points per liter!
This was the first time Xiao Mao had purchased such a large quantity of Grade A water, and he really didn't know how much to ask for.
Fang Qingdai waved her hand: "I'll give it to you at the base's price, twenty points per liter."
I was just trying to repay a favor, there was no need to earn those few hundred points.
With Mao Ling, a healing-type ability user, the profit of a few hundred points is not worth mentioning at all!
Xiao Mao froze, staring blankly at Fang Qingdai for a long time, his eyes reddening with emotion: "Sister! You're my own sister! If you ever need anything, just tell me, and I, Mao Liangliang, will go through fire and water for you!"
Fang Qingdai twitched her lips speechlessly, ignoring Xiao Mao's vow.
"By the way, why do you share the same surname as your aunt? Did you take your mother's surname?"
Xiao Mao nodded, and when his mother was mentioned, his mood visibly dropped.
Seeing this, Fang Qingdai didn't ask any more questions. She agreed to bring him water three days later, and then she carried Qingluan out of the base.
When they got home, no one was gathered outside their shack anymore, and the broken wooden door had been repaired.
Fang Qingdai raised an eyebrow and was about to push the door open to go back when Wang Biao stopped her.
"Boss Zhang wants you to go to his place after you get back." Wang Biao glanced at Fang Qingdai's house with a complicated expression. "He wants you to bring that outsider with you."
Fang Qingdai nodded, thanked Wang Biao for helping to stop Wang Fang and her husband earlier, and then carried Qingluan into the shack.
Jing Yi sat on his animal bone bed and, seeing the two return, hurriedly asked, "How is Qingluan?"
"The injury is healed, and now... my powers are being activated."
