"What difficulties are you facing? Can you do your best to help me improve them? There are some things you probably can't help me with," Hong Xiaoduo replied.
When Old Luo heard this and looked at her expression, he wondered what terrible thing had happened to her.
"Who have you taken a fancy to? Is it someone you love but can't have?" Old Luo asked cautiously. If that was the case, then there really was nothing he could do to help.
However, if they could unlock their father's key, it might still be of some help.
However, Old Man Luo dared not make a promise about something so uncertain.
"Hey old man Luo, have you lost your mind? How did you come up with this idea that I've fallen for someone and can't have them? You know best how I got here."
"Given my condition, do I even have the mood for romantic relationships?" Hong Xiaoduo said with great disdain.
Old Luo frowned: "You guessed wrong? Then what is it?" If it was about needing money, she would have just asked for it directly.
“I killed someone.” Hong Xiaoduo then recounted what had happened that day.
The more Old Man Luo listened, the more shocked he became: "Are you really that amazing over there?"
"Hey, old man, is that the point? I'm a person who grew up in a society governed by the rule of law, and I've caused someone's death here. Shouldn't you be worried about my mental capacity to handle this?" The old man's reaction left Hong Xiaoduo speechless.
He should know how capable she is here, shouldn't he? Didn't he say during our last video call that he wouldn't let her suffer any injustice, and that she must have some kind of amazing character setting?
“But looking at you and listening to your tone of voice, I don’t see any psychological problems. How about I find a psychologist to give you some online counseling?” Old Luo replied.
At the same time, Old Luo was thinking that finding a psychologist would be easy, as long as he paid, but the key point was that it would mean having another person who would know about his time-traveling act of sending people across time and space.
"Forget it, no need. I've already calmed myself down. How are you feeling now? If you're really not feeling well, you might as well just take me back first."
You can't keep lying to me like this. What if, and I mean what if—I don't mean anything by it—your body can't take it anymore, your mind goes blank, and with your age and injury, your memory will definitely be much worse. In that case, even if you want to take me back, you'll probably be too weak to do so.
"Then what you might suffer then won't just be the regret of not fulfilling your grandfather's last wish, but also the guilt of harming an innocent person like me," Hong Xiaoduo reminded the other party.
"Don't worry, I've had a full check-up, and the results are very good. The doctor said I was just unconscious for a few days and a little weak, but I'll recover if I rest well," Old Luo quickly assured him.
"Also, you've already received six water samples. Once you get the last two and unlock the exchange system, you'll definitely love it," Old Luo quickly brought it up.
Hong Xiaoduo didn't respond to this topic, nor did she mention that she could get rainwater samples that night.
Hong Xiaoduo was really looking forward to the exchange system; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so eager to collect water samples everywhere. But she was afraid that the higher her expectations, the greater her disappointment would be.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Old Man Luo thought for a moment and then said, "Go and take a look at those storage cabinets later. I've added some things for you. Actually, I prepared quite a lot of things for you, but I don't know what restrictions my father set, some things can't be delivered."
"Yes, this space is very strange. I can bring in the water sample you wanted, but apart from the paper from that time, I can't bring in anything else. I used to read those ancient romance novels where people could bring things into their own spaces as reserves."
"But what you guys made has all sorts of flaws," Hong Xiaoduo said bluntly.
Actually, the main reason is that old man Luo's rebellious father; it must have been him who did this.
Old Luo listened with a smile, but he couldn't help it; he was clearly in the wrong. "Xiao Duo, it's time for my IV drip, so I'm logging off now. Take your time looking at the things in the locker, and I'll find a chance to log back on in a few days."
"Okay, please take good care of your health. Don't forget there's someone here whom you tricked into coming here," Hong Xiaoduo reminded her again in a very direct tone.
The old man on the screen nodded repeatedly, then suddenly smiled and asked, "You've been here for so many days, and you haven't found anyone you like. Is there any man who likes you?"
"Hey old man, aren't you being a bit too nosy? Do you really think anyone would like a strange woman like me, who has profound martial arts skills but doesn't know any martial arts moves, yet can kill people with a single move?" Hong Xiaoduo asked speechlessly.
"Never mind what I said." After Old Luo finished speaking, the screen flickered with static, and after a hissing sound, the wall returned to a blank state.
The old man went offline, and Hong Xiaoduo checked the storage cabinet and found that there were indeed many more things.
They have hand cream and face cream, and the boxes are even made of the kind of material and style used for ancient cosmetics. Wait, they even have toothbrushes? Tooth powder?
The toothbrush handle is made of bamboo, and the brush head looks like it's made of pig bristles. Anyway, it doesn't look as good as modern ones; it looks very simple and primitive.
A bracelet? Hong Xiaoduo found another bracelet that looked similar to the one she was wearing. After looking at the instruction manual underneath, she was delighted. It turned out to be an upgraded weather forecast bracelet, whereas the original one could only show three days' weather forecast.
This upgraded version can only be watched for a week, which is seven days.
What pleased Hong Xiaoduo the most was that this time, unlike the bracelet on her wrist, it didn't require blood to bind it to its owner. She replaced the old version with the upgraded one, and it immediately showed up on her wrist.
Hong Xiaoduo put the replaced clothes in the storage cabinet and let the old man take them away, or whatever, she didn't care.
There were also many medications available: antidiarrheals, heatstroke remedies, digestive aids, hangover remedies, snake repellents, and even floral water. Surprisingly, there were also a whole bunch of snake venom antidotes: antivenom serum, anti-inflammatory drugs, sedatives, diuretics, and anti-allergy medications.
Are they preparing all this stuff in case she gets bitten by a poisonous snake in this ancient world and dies without treatment? Is it to save her life?
When Hong Xiaoduo saw that there was still a big box of hand warmers, she couldn't help but complain, "Winter is almost over!"
There were other things in the locker; in short, there were quite a variety of spare items this time.
Hong Xiaoduo saw a piece of paper on the table with a note that said if she needed anything, she could write it down and he would try to send it into his space.
She thought about it and realized she needed so many things. For example, she wanted a freezer full of ice cream, she also wanted spicy snacks, and she was craving snail rice noodles...
