Hey, first of all, thanks for reading my lousy Machine Translation. To be honest, I’d really like it if you guys corrected the mistakes I made. But please speak nicely and politely. My heart is not strong enough to read your too-harsh comments. Have a nice day. 🙂

Chapter 64. (1/2)

Gu Fan was in seclusion. Although Lu Ya was in the cave, he entrusted the task of counting the disabled people in the base to his aunt Lu Ying.

Lu Ying: “Only count the superpowers, or?”

Lu Ya: “Count ordinary people as well.”

During the beast tide, in addition to the first batch of 5 million people who hid in the explosion-proof area, there were more than 100,000 survivors outside. Among these 100,000 people, about 20,000 were superpowers and mercenaries responsible for resisting the beast tide. More than half of the superpowers were bitten by monsters and left with varying degrees of disability.

The surviving ordinary people did not suffer any physical injuries because they did not fight against the monsters, and those who fought against the monsters almost all died on the spot.

Lu Ya had confidence in Gu Fan, and he wanted to build momentum for Gu Fan and use the people’s hearts to make some people afraid, so he made this matter known to the whole city.

As the list became more and more complete, the people in the Jiangnan base knew that there was a strong person named Gu Fan in the base who could refine a bone-regenerating pill that could regenerate broken limbs.

The pills are time-consuming to refine, and they must be used by injured psychics first. Do ordinary people have to wait in line?

What does it matter? The more psychics can go to the battlefield, the safer the base. As long as they can be registered, what does it matter if ordinary disabled people wait a little? They were already desperate, but now there is hope, and it doesn’t matter if they wait for a few years.

—

Gu Fan didn’t know that the whole base was looking forward to her coming out of retreat to refine medicine as soon as possible. After coming to Earth, this was her first real retreat to practice.

The spiritual energy constantly washed the body’s veins and finally gathered in the dantian. The consciousness was quietly nourished in this state of half-sleep.

However, to avoid accidentally retreating for three or five years, Gu Fan reminded Lu Ya before entering the meditation, asking him to wake her up on time after a month.

Although it was a month, Gu Fan didn’t have to come out of retreat after a month.

She was in seclusion to stabilize her realm. When she had just established her foundation, the spiritual liquid in her dantian would occasionally turn into gas, like a lake with mist rising from it. This was instability. Gu Fan had to condense all the spiritual liquid into spiritual liquid and no longer change freely, only obeying her command.

This seclusion would be over when the spiritual liquid in the dantian could remain calm for a long time. Even if she continued to practice, it would not make much sense to rely on slow practice through meditation.

Through this year’s experience, Gu Fan deeply understood that constantly consuming spiritual power and then gathering spiritual power was the fastest way to practice. It was a pleasant surprise to have an epiphany during the experience.

After appreciating the calm surface of the spiritual liquid in her dantian, Gu Fan opened her eyes.

The communication bracelet showed that it was two o’clock in the afternoon, and twenty-five days had passed since she had been in seclusion.

There was a layer of floating dust on her body surface. Gu Fan casually used a dust removal technique, and her consciousness had already curiously explored outside.

In the hall of the cave, there was still a set of sofas, coffee tables, and a pot of flowers that she had arranged by herself. The soil in the pot was slightly wet, and it was obvious that it had been watered not long ago.

On the sofa, Lu Ya leaned on it, wearing a thin black shirt, holding a thick notebook in his hand.

He read very seriously, his long eyelashes drooping and cold star-like eyes moving with the handwriting.

Although it was cool in the cave, it was summer. Lu Ya still unbuttoned the three buttons near his collar, revealing a jade-like chest.

Gu Fan’s spiritual sense could actually see through things. If she wanted to see Lu Ya’s body, it didn’t matter whether he was wearing clothes or not.

Of course, Gu Fan was not that lustful.

Just when she was about to retract her spiritual sense, Lu Ya suddenly looked towards the practice room.

Gu Fan had an illusion that she was discovered while peeping, so she quickly retracted her spiritual sense, stood up, and walked out.

A long time had passed, but the kiss seemed to Gu Fan to have just happened, so when she came out and met Lu Ya’s deep eyes, she was still a little uncomfortable.

“I came out early.” She explained first, “Is there anything going on in the base recently?”

She looked like she was discussing business, so Lu Ya took a list from the space, put it next to the coffee table, and said, “This is the list of disabled people in the base that was previously counted. There are 12,000 people with special abilities and 1,700 ordinary people, all waiting for your bone-repairing pill.”

Gu Fan: …

She sat on the sofa, picked up the list, and saw that it listed everyone’s name, age, and disabled parts.

A total of about 14,000 people.

According to her daytime use for refining pills, three furnaces in the morning and three furnaces in the afternoon, five pills in each furnace, and 30 pills a day. To meet the needs of the disabled people in the base now, she has to refine pills for more than 460 days, which is nearly a year and three months.

Lu Ya explained: “The last beast tide caused too many injuries. Once this batch of superpowers is healed, there will not be such a high demand later. Moreover, this is just a list. You can decide how to arrange the time for alchemy. The base will not force you.”

Gu Fan heard his cautiousness as if he worried she would be angry because of such a high workload.

Actually, it’s okay. Alchemy consumes spiritual power, which is also a more efficient cultivation method for Gu Fan than meditation.

“I can refine it slowly. How are you going to distribute the pills? Give them for free?” Gu Fan asked curiously.

Lu Ya: “For superpowers who originally belonged to the army, the pills will be distributed for free, and they will return to the army after recovery. If they are mercenaries, they have to serve for ten years, and ordinary people will also be arranged as volunteers.”

Gu Fan nodded. She refined the pills to help Lu Ya and the Xinghe team realize the dream of restoring human freedom. How to use and distribute them is Lu Ya’s business. If Lu Ya really distributes them to everyone for free, she is afraid some people will not know how to cherish them.

“Okay, I’ll go and cultivate red ginseng first. It takes time to cultivate spiritual herbs. I’ll give you a batch of pills every month.” Gu Fan returned the list to Lu Ya, looked outside, and asked, “Is everything ready on Professor Ma’s side?”

Lu Ya: “It can be used at the beginning of the month.”

Gu Fan’s eyes lit up, and she wanted to go out.

Lu Ya stood up and said, “It’s midsummer outside. Do you want to change clothes?”

Gu Fan: …

She stood still and looked at Lu Ya.

Lu Ya looked normal as if he was just worried that she would be too hot outside.

Gu Fan’s consciousness could not detect his heart, but seeing how refreshing he was wearing, her tight armor was indeed a bit out of place.

Gu Fan returned to the practice room, closed the door, and picked a green casual skirt from the storage jade bracelet. At that time, she went to the mall to buy clothes, and the enthusiastic and smiling saleswoman also helped her match a white wide-brimmed hat.

Looking at the white hat, recalling the peace and prosperity of the Jiangnan base, Gu Fan finally felt a little compassion.

Inside the base, most people are still very cute and worthy of her help.

After calming down the ripples in her heart, Gu Fan walked out again.
