Since the last chaotic battle, Lin Ruo has enjoyed a few peaceful days at home. The entire Longyuan community knows the fearsome reputations of Li Wei and Lin Ruo in Building 3, and no one dares to cause trouble anymore.
She spends her days at home farming, researching medicines, reading, and practicing her spiritual cultivation, enjoying herself immensely with Ah Fu and Ah Shou by her side.
Since the 25th floor corridor was cleared out, Li Wei voluntarily added several locks to the corridor door and usually uses a heavy iron cabinet to block the door.
Without the threat of those people in the stairwell, Qian Li and Dou Dou dared to go out and walk around in the stairwell.
What annoyed Lin Ruo was that her neighbors Qian Li and Dou Dou kept knocking on her door, as if they were one of her own ever since she gave them fever reducers.
Lin Ruo didn't care about this. What they wanted to think was their business. As long as she knew it wasn't true, that was enough.
They knock on the door ten times, and Lin Ruo might open it twice, but they still didn't tire of it.
After more than half a month of experimentation, Lin Ruo finally succeeded in making an insect repellent powder.
Looking at the white powder in the glass, she smiled with satisfaction. Heaven rewards those who persevere; despite wasting so many medicinal herbs, she had finally succeeded.
However, the efficacy of this powder still needs to be tested. She extended her mental energy and found a few cockroaches in the sewer downstairs.
Find a few glasses in the space, and melt them directly into small perforated jars. Now the experimental equipment is complete.
Lin Ruo put the cockroaches into jars and added different doses of insect repellent powder to each jar, intending to observe them for a period of time. However, the cockroaches in the jars with the powder turned white within seconds.
Lin Ruo "..."
She looked down in surprise at the glass in her hand, then at the jar containing the minimum dose. She had only put in a tiny bit, and the book didn't mention that the powder was so potent.
She blinked and continued flipping through the medical book, trying to figure out where things had gone wrong.
Just then, there was another knock on the door, "Knock knock knock~"
Lin Ruo didn't even look up. She figured it was Qian Li and Dou Dou coming to find her again, and she didn't need to pay them any attention.
"Sister Ruo! It's me, Zhao Hui! We're going to look for supplies tomorrow, are you coming?"
Zhao Hui, who was outside the door, had a much better relationship with Li Wei in the past two weeks and had also heard about what happened on the 25th floor. He probably knew that if he didn't speak, the door wouldn't open, so he simply shouted at the top of his lungs outside the door.
Lin Ruo: "..." So annoying!
But thinking about what happened with Zhou Qing before, what if I run into someone I know this time? Jiang Haochen hasn't shown up yet, has he?
Moreover, after her superpower was upgraded, her physical fitness improved, and since there was no reference point, she might be able to compare herself when she went out to fight others this time.
She put the medicine powder in her hand and the cockroach jar on the ground into her spatial storage, got up and opened the door. She immediately saw Zhao Hui outside, who was smiling obsequiously. "Go."
Zhao Hui was taken aback when he saw Lin Ruo's expression. Why did this woman seem a little excited?
Everyone else looked gloomy and reluctant to go out to find supplies, so why was she so happy? Did she have some new idea?
He said cautiously, "Sister Ruo, you don't need to force yourself. People from Buildings 5 and 6 will also be going this time. We have enough manpower."
Lin Ruo shook her head, imagining the possibility of running into Jiang Haochen, and smiled slightly. "It's okay, I'm just going out for a walk to clear my head."
Zhao Hui felt that something was wrong, but he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In the past two weeks, they have received many requests for cooperation from other buildings, but he has not agreed. Firstly, he is afraid that they have ulterior motives and will sabotage the project halfway through, and secondly, he is afraid that Lin Ruo will dislike those people and quit.
Judging from her reaction now, he had been overthinking things; Lin Ruo didn't care about any of that.
"The water level has now reached the 12th floor. We can still check out the Hengxing Shopping Mall we went to before, but I estimate there aren't many supplies left there. We might have to look elsewhere..."
"We need to leave early tomorrow, at 9 a.m., and meet on the 13th floor."
Zhao Hui stood in front of Lin Ruo, talking non-stop, while Li Wei, who lived across the hall, leaned against the door watching Dou Dou playing with toys in the hallway.
Lin Ruo nodded, "Okay, I'll arrive early."
After seeing Zhao Hui off, Lin Ruo was about to close the door when Dou Dou ran up to her, blinking her innocent big eyes, "Sister, are Afu and Ashou here? I want to play with them."
Lin Ruo glanced inside the door and saw that Afu and Ashou were lying peacefully by the doorway. They had obviously heard Dou Dou's words, but they didn't move an inch, clearly indicating that they didn't want to coax the child.
She chuckled softly and looked down at DouDou, saying, "I have some things to give them to do, so they probably can't play with you anymore."
"And those two are too big for you, they could be dangerous, you know?"
DouDou's little head drooped, and she responded softly, "Oh."
Lin Ruo looked up and exchanged a glance with Li Wei before going home and closing the door.
Li Wei could also see Afu and Ashou through the crack in Lin Ruo's door. The two seemed to have grown even bigger. Lin Ruo's concerns were valid; if they didn't stop playing, Dou Dou would be in danger.
Thinking of this, Li Wei squatted down and said to Dou Dou, who was clearly disappointed, "Dou Dou, Daddy told you that things are different now than before. There are many dangerous people or things that could hurt or kill you, so we have to be extra careful, okay?"
DouDou looked up into her father's eyes and nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Back home, Lin Ruo couldn't wait to take out the pesticide powder and cockroaches she had experimented with from her spatial storage and began studying them on her tablet.
The prescription dosage is correct, the manufacturing process is fine, and the finished product is exactly the same as described in the book. So where exactly is the problem?
While Lin Ruo was deep in thought, Ah Shou ran over and patted her thigh with a claw that was as big as two of Lin Ruo's hands.
She looked up, puzzled, at Ashou, "What's wrong?"
"Woof woof!" Ah Shou whispered ingratiatingly, wanting some delicious chilled fruit.
Lin Ruo sighed. She was about to take out the watermelon she had bought earlier from her spatial storage when she suddenly remembered that she had harvested a batch of watermelons from her own plant in the past two days. She decided to give these to Ashou instead.
She took out a 10-pound watermelon, her palm gleaming with a blue light, and the watermelon emitted a cool breeze. She cut the watermelon in half and put it into their food bowl. "Eat up."
Ah Fu and Ah Shou buried their heads in the rice bowls, taking a bite of one half at a time. Lin Ruo smiled, saying, "This is a watermelon from the black soil; it tastes even better than ordinary watermelons..."
Suddenly, a thought struck her: Ah! Those medicinal herbs were also grown in the black soil!
So the medicine is so much more potent than described in the book?! Does this powder only work on insects, or does it also work on animals like mice?
With a direction in mind, she began to bury herself in her research again, leaving Afu and Ashou, who were eating watermelon next to her, completely bewildered. They had a feeling that their owner would become abnormal whenever she picked up this square red board.
