The work in the water boiler room is mostly done in the first half of the night, especially when the business has just started.
Once each customer has their soup in place, the rest of the work becomes much easier. All you need to do is replenish the hot water for the customers in a timely manner. Once the pool is full, it's rare for any new customers to come in.
The Ruby Bathhouse perfectly illustrates the concept of limited beds and first-come, first-served. If you arrive late, there won't be any pools available for you to soak in. If you want to soak in the bath, please come earlier next time.
The work in the water-boiling room gradually became less strenuous, and everyone sat down to rest. For them, today's work was probably the easiest day ever. Ye Xi and the others had almost finished all the work in the water-boiling room. If they had known the proportions of the medicinal herbs for the hot spring, they probably could have even done the work of preparing the medicine.
Now that he had some free time, Xuan Du had gathered around the medicine-making pool, observing the many strange creatures preparing medicines.
Injuries and fatalities occur in the water-boiling room, mostly due to the preparation of medicine and the delivery of soup. Incorrect medicine preparation, incorrect soup preparation, or incorrect water temperature lead to extremely high mortality rates for these two types of monsters, so the Dark Serpent Man's judgment is correct.
Unfortunately, some things can't be understood without experiencing them firsthand. The casualties at the medicine-making pool are heavy, but the steward won't easily let the monsters in the medicine-making pool die, since it's not easy to cultivate a monster that can make medicine.
Therefore, the "casualties" at the medicine dispensing pool were basically replaced by the soup delivery staff. As long as the wrong medicine was dispensed one after another, which displeased the supervisor, there would be "temporary workers" from the soup delivery staff to take over. As a result, the casualties at the medicine dispensing pool were actually the lowest in the entire water boiling room, and it was even possible to have no casualties.
"Is this a ghost face flower? A highly poisonous plant that grows in the dark world, yet it's a great tonic for monsters?"
"Green Spirit Grass, isn't this the commonly used Spirit Returning Grass? How can it have a toxic effect on dark creatures?"
"And this White Bone Grass, it really does look like a bone. How does it look like grass? But it has the effect of regenerating bones, which is of great use to skeletal creatures. Can it be used on living beings? To make flesh grow back to its original state?"
"..."
Xuandu greedily absorbed the knowledge here, knowledge that lords could not grasp. Plants that could only be born in the dark world were rarely seen in normal times. After all, to this day, not many lords have been able to truly delve into the darkness.
"Are you interested in preparing medicine?" It seemed that Xuan Du's constant standing next to the medicine preparation pool had attracted the attention of the supervisor above, who took the opportunity to ask him during a break.
“I’m interested in all kinds of knowledge, and this is very interesting to me!” Xuan Du raised his head and smiled at the other party. Knowledge knows no social class, even if the other party is just a dark creature.
"Then you can help them prepare the medicine, but remember, if you make a mistake and upset a customer, you'll lose your life! At our Ruby Hot Spring, the last thing we lack is lives!" said the three-headed, six-armed manager.
However, upon hearing his words, Xuan Du showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he nodded with a hint of excitement, "Thank you very much!"
Seeing his appearance, Bai Ze and Ye Zhen, who were resting in the back, looked helpless.
"I don't know why humans love learning so much? It seems like they want to learn everything?" Ye Zhen asked, puzzled.
"Humans are weak. Without learning, they simply cannot survive in the Southern Continent. Perhaps that's why they strive to seize every opportunity. After all, only in this way can they have a stronger ability to survive!" Bai Ze said thoughtfully.
In fact, although some of the various races have set foot in Jambudvipa during this period, news about the human race has always been circulating among the various races.
After all, this is the race that propelled the Primordial Star into the seventh tier, and the first truly native life form in the Primordial World. Everyone wants to see just how high such a race can go on the Primordial Star.
Unfortunately, the human race is weak and has always been able to survive in the Southern Continent with great difficulty. Furthermore, with Ye Chen's order that no one should interfere with the development of the human race, few races dare to help them. As a result, many newly intelligent demons regard the human race as food and slaughter them wantonly in the Southern Continent.
Fortunately, relying on their strong learning ability and countless selfless pioneers, the human race gradually gained a foothold in the Southern Continent and developed rapidly. Their spirit of self-improvement also deeply touched the various races on the ancient planet.
What humanity truly lacks now is a cultivation method of its own, a cultivation method that originated from the Scripture Pavilion and other races, and truly belongs to humanity itself.
Only in this way can they truly become powerful and stand alongside other races.
"Alas, I wonder why Goddess Nuwa created such a race in the first place? Why didn't she give them a more powerful body and a way of cultivation?" Ye Zhen sighed.
"The thoughts of Lady Nuwa and Lord are beyond our comprehension. Perhaps this race possesses some strengths we are unaware of!" Bai Ze shook his head. If Ye Zhen's intelligence was more about cleverness, then she was a true sage. She could see through the essence of many issues more easily than Ye Zhen.
As time went by, the atmosphere in the water-boiling room became more relaxed. Apart from Ye Jun and Xuan Du, the others gradually gathered together and chatted.
"There shouldn't be any more trouble here. Let's go out for a stroll and explore the surroundings, but we must be careful and prioritize our own safety!" Ye Xi said to the group, seeing that the supervisors in mid-air were all resting.
Xuandu is studying herbal medicine, Ye Jun is maintaining the water temperature, and the rest of the people are fine, so leaving for a short while shouldn't be a problem.
“I just inquired with the other strange creatures. This hot spring tower has nine floors. For safety, our hot water room is on the bottom floor - basement level. From the first floor onwards, there are hot spring pools for customers. The higher the floor, the more distinguished the guests are. The top floor is Ruby's residence, where he usually lives!”
"In addition, all the strange creatures that work also live in the basement. To find Ruby, we need to go from the bottom to the top."
"However, a strange creature told me that there is a ring of stairs around the outside of the Hot Spring Tower, similar to a survival tunnel, which allows you to go directly to each floor from the outside without going through the inner room. I think we can give it a try!"
Upon hearing Ye Xi's words, Ye Zhen spoke up, saying that with her abilities, it wouldn't be too difficult for her to extract information from the surrounding monsters!
