Chapter 96 Merit points were exchanged for antibiotics and health pills.
Lu Zhanming keenly noticed her change and looked up at her:
"What's wrong? Why are you so happy?"
"Oh? It's nothing."
Gu Baobao blinked.
"I'm just happy to think that Grandpa Tang is feeling much better."
Looking into her bright eyes, Lu Zhanming's heart softened. He didn't delve into the matter further and simply nodded.
"Yes, it's all thanks to you."
Gu Dongguo snorted:
"Of course, how could my sister be wrong to take action?"
After finishing her meal, Gu Baobao habitually reached out to clear the dishes, but as soon as she did, a warm and strong hand pressed down on her wrist.
Lu Zhanming had stood up at some point, his tall figure looming over everyone with an undeniable aura.
"I'll do it."
His voice was deep, and because they were so close, his breath almost brushed against Gu Baobao's ear.
"You've had a long day, go and rest."
Gu Baobao withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted, her cheeks burning slightly.
"No, no need, I'll be done washing soon..."
"obedient."
Lu Zhanming had already started clearing away the dishes with surprising efficiency, his movements surprisingly practiced.
"Go and rest. Or, read a book."
Gu Dongguo watched from the side, feeling so sour inside, he could practically pickle sauerkraut!
But seeing his sister's slightly flushed cheeks and Lu Zhanming's self-righteous attitude, he opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing, and angrily pushed his wheelchair to get a change of clothes.
Out of sight, out of mind!
Seeing this, Gu Baobao stopped insisting.
Merit Mall is beckoning to her!
Her mind is now filled with thoughts of what good things she can exchange those 1228 merit points for.
"Well... thank you for your hard work, Brother Zhanming."
After she finished speaking, she darted into her room like a nimble little rabbit, and closed the door with a soft click.
Lu Zhanming paused, holding the bowl and chopsticks, and looked at the closed door, suddenly feeling a void in his heart.
They... went inside?
They didn't even give me a second glance?
He was the only one left in the main room, with only the sound of water splashing in the basin.
The evening breeze blew in through the open door of the main room, carrying the faint fishy smell of the island and the lingering aroma of food from every household.
For the first time in his life, Commander Lu experienced what it meant to be utterly bewildered.
Inside the room, as soon as Gu Baobao closed the door, she couldn't wait to slip into the space.
Fresh air, soft lawn, babbling spring, and that exquisite three-story villa.
She took a deep breath, feeling all her fatigue wash away.
Instead of rushing to the villa, she ran to the spring, scooped up a handful of clear water, and drank a few mouthfuls. The sweet spring water invigorated her.
[Defu!]
She cheered inwardly.
[Quick! Open the Merit Mall! I want to see what good things I can buy now!]
[Here you are! Your esteemed VIP host!]
The system's Defu voice was as excited as if it were Chinese New Year.
Congratulations on your assets surpassing the 1,000 mark! Our online store proudly recommends the following best-selling products – don't miss out!
A familiar semi-transparent screen appeared before her eyes, displaying a dazzling array of products. Gu Baobao quickly scanned it, filtering out martial arts manuals and beauty elixirs that she didn't need for the time being, and headed straight for the medicine section.
Are there any antibiotics available?
She asked eagerly,
[It should be made using existing materials of this era, without looking out of place, but the effect must be good, and the cost should be as low as possible!]
This is the most practical thing right now, and the one most likely to benefit the public.
While hemostatic powder can be used for emergencies, many injuries and illnesses, especially infections, require more effective antibacterial drugs.
In this day and age, a good antibiotic can save lives, but its production is low and its price is high, making it unaffordable for ordinary people.
[Host is wise! Always keep the world in mind!]
Defu flattered him.
Yes, yes! Highly effective broad-spectrum antibiotics (primary generic version), based on existing basic bacterial strains and process routes such as penicillin and streptomycin, with optimized purification and stability improvement of the formula and production process explained in detail.
The effect is approximately 1.5-2 times that of the original product, with fewer side effects, and some ingredients can be replaced with cheaper alternatives. Exchange Price: 500 Merit Points!
five hundred!
Gu Baobao didn't even blink:
【Change! 】
[Ding! Exchange successful! 500 merit points deducted, current balance 728 points. Relevant formula and production process knowledge stream has been transferred!]
A massive flow of information flooded into Gu Baobao's mind, with countless details about strain selection, fermentation process, extraction and purification, quality control, and more clearly presented.
She closed her eyes and digested the information for a moment, then felt much calmer.
With this, as long as we find suitable production units and raw materials, we can produce truly affordable and high-quality domestic antibiotics!
Anything else?
She continued browsing with great interest.
Suddenly, my eyes were drawn to an inconspicuous icon in the corner.
【An improved version of the ancient formula for Gubenpeiyuan Yangsheng Pills: It is designed for symptoms such as physical weakness due to old age, severe depletion of vital energy, and weakness after illness. It gently nourishes, harmonizes Yin and Yang, and stimulates the body's own vitality.】
For best results, it must be taken in conjunction with specific guided exercises.
Note: This pill focuses on conditioning the body; its effects are slightly slower, but it strengthens the foundation. Exchange Price: 720 Merit Points.
Gu Baobao had a sudden thought.
Mr. Tang!
This is exactly what suits Mr. Tang's current condition!
Although the system said that Tang Lao only needed conditioning, if this health-preserving pill was added, along with the spiritual spring water and her acupuncture, the speed and quality of recovery would definitely be able to reach another level!
Even when grandparents and parents get old, they can still use it.
720 points, which is almost half of her remaining merit points.
Expensive, really expensive.
But it's worth it!
She gritted her teeth:
【Change! 】
[Ding! Exchange successful! 720 merit points deducted, current balance 508 points. Recipe and guidance technique transferred!]
Her merit points shrank instantly, but Gu Baobao felt both at ease and excited.
Ignoring her heartache, she immediately ran to the laboratory on the second floor of the villa, where she had placed some basic medicinal herbs and tools.
She needs to first organize the recipe and key points for making the health-preserving pills, and some medicinal materials may need to be found or substituted.
Gu Baobao was so engrossed in her work that she completely forgot about time.
