Chapter 40 Burning Stones



As a result of this trial, the previously idle medical service centers on various planets suddenly became bustling with customers.

All the patients brought in by emergency had the same symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, decreased heart rate, severe abdominal pain, and hallucinations.

An investigation confirmed that it was poisoning.

Thus, the comprehensive antidote made its dazzling debut.

No deaths occurred, but the matter escalated and eventually reached the headquarters of the medical service center.

The minister was an elegant and graceful lady with a somewhat serious face but gentle eyes. Her fiery red hair was pulled back, and her long, thick eyelashes resembled small fans.

As she reviewed the case reports from medical centers on various planets, she asked her secretary, "How could there be so many cases of poisoning? Was it a case of poisoning?"

"···"

It was indeed poisoning, but the patient poisoned himself and also implicated his family.

The secretary recounted the events with some difficulty in explaining, and Ms. Mela raised an eyebrow hesitantly, asking, "Are you sure this is the truth?"

It has been explained many times that mushrooms should not be eaten indiscriminately, but some people still like to seek out thrills. This is why a comprehensive antidote was developed.

There have been cases of people getting poisoned from eating too many mushrooms in previous years, but none as extreme as this one. They've appeared on various planets, and the total number has reached an astonishing 50,000.

With current medical standards, this is a frightening number.

The secretary nodded and said decisively, "That's definitely the reason. I couldn't believe it when I first investigated, but the facts leave no room for doubt."

He said with some helplessness, "Madam, this matter has even made it to the central news section."

The central section is the most lively section of the holographic world besides the fighting area and the arena area. All sorts of strange and wonderful things happen here, and the events and people that happen here are never the most bizarre, only more bizarre.

Not only are they all silly, but they also love seeking thrills.

Upon hearing that it had been featured on the central news program, Ms. Mela became anxious.

"Is the news being blocked?"

"Don't worry, I immediately reported to the main system and blocked the news."

However, it was all for naught. No matter how fast the secretary was, they couldn't keep up with the speed of the silly netizens who could contact the mastermind to shut down the topic.

Thus, following the existing 50,000-plus intelligent life forms poisoning, medical centers on various planets have seen another wave of patients suffering from mushroom poisoning.

Ms. Mela and her colleagues were speechless at this.

The culprit, Sang Ning, was completely unaware of the situation.

She was extremely busy, and Mu Tao and the others were almost the same.

Building a house is a technical job, and Sang Ning had theoretical knowledge but no practical experience, so building this house was extremely difficult for them.

It's always the same old problems: the foundation isn't done properly and needs to be redone, or the walls are crooked and need to be torn down and rebuilt. There are just so many issues.

Fortunately, none of the six were willing to give up, nor were they willing to waste the labor they had put in earlier, so they gritted their teeth and continued.

Each failure brings experience and a more cautious mindset.

They would rather take their time and work meticulously than be too hasty and risk another failure, which would lead to having to rebuild everything.

Fortunately, the labor was not wasted, and the stone house gradually took shape, straight and not crooked.

The audience watching them fail time and time again, yet persevere and try again, were even happier and more excited than Sang Ning and his group as they watched the stone house take shape.

"Holy crap, that's amazing, they actually managed to pull it off."

"It's not finished yet. Right now, it's just a rough outline, or you could say a framework. It'll probably take several months to complete it properly."

"It's only a few months. As Da Taozi said, they have plenty of time. Having a safe and sturdy stone house to live in, without being exposed to wind, sun, or rain, is a good deal in my opinion."

"It's worthwhile, provided there are no problems after the house is built; otherwise, several months will be wasted."

"Don't jinx it, they'll definitely succeed."

Some viewers with an architecture background were pessimistic, saying, "It's very difficult. Without a strong adhesive, the stones won't stick together, and the house will collapse if the wind is even slightly strong. Based on my many years of experience in architecture, I can tell you that even if this house is built, it will be more for show than practical use."

"Really?"

“It’s true, the architect upstairs is right. The biggest problem with the house that Sang Ning and his team built is its lack of sturdiness. If this problem isn’t solved, the house will be uninhabitable.”

The live stream was buzzing with discussion, while Sang Ning was leading Mo Nainai and the others to pick tung oil fruits.

Tung fruit can be used to make tung oil, and tung oil has a characteristic of strong adhesion, which is what Sang Ning was interested in.

So they picked tung fruit for three days straight before they stopped.

Meanwhile, Mu Tao and his group were still diligently making adobe bricks by mixing yellow mud and grass leaves.

They didn't find any straw, but Sang Ning and his team found the leaves of a giant fern.

Sang Ning didn't know what this fern was called, nor did Monet and the others, but this fern secreted a super sticky mucus. After conducting experiments, Sang Ning discovered that this mucus could be used as super glue.

In situations where glutinous rice is unavailable and traditional adhesives such as glutinous rice, lime, and tung oil cannot be prepared, this viscous liquid becomes extremely useful, serving as a complete substitute for glutinous rice juice.

As for whether it would be as effective as glutinous rice juice, Sang Ning didn't know, but she estimated it should last for a considerable period of time.

"Ningning, we're out of that mixed juice."

Clyde, who was diligently making adobe bricks, called out. Sunning responded with an "oh," and went to get the equipment as if he knew the way well, and went to the stone stove to burn limestone.

"Here it comes, Ningning is going to start burning stones again."

"It's not a stone, it's limestone. This kind of stone becomes quicklime after it's burned."

"I know about quicklime and have looked it up. It's said to have disinfecting, sterilizing, and insect-repelling effects. Can someone with expertise in this area tell me if this is true or false?"

"It's true, but there are specific ways to use it. Since lime has the effect of disinfection and sterilization, it needs to be mixed with water. Lime can only disinfect and sterilize when it comes into contact with water."

"I have an idea..."

"I know what the person upstairs is trying to say. You can give it a try, and let us know how it goes after you try it."

"Let's not do it. The last mushroom incident caused quite a stir. The medical headquarters even reported to the mainframe, which sent a notice to all citizens not to eat mushrooms casually. I'm worried that if you try it, countless more people will suffer from lime poisoning and end up at the medical center."

Sang Ning glanced at the comments and, by sheer coincidence, saw this one. She immediately asked, puzzled, "What's this 'mushroom incident' all about?"

"Wow, it's a miracle that Sang Ning actually reads the live stream comments."
