Chapter 137: You Really Want Me to Farm?

Instance!

What Mo Xiaobai wanted to think of was the “Instance” that Bai Hualin had mentioned!

Mo Xiaobai looked at Bai Hualin with approval and teased, “A silly girl who even fails a Lord trial mission? After staying on the Plane for just a few dozen days, your brain power has really grown.”

“Stop looking down on me. I just had bad luck back then. I am actually very smart.”

“Yes, yes, you are a Heroine. How can a Heroine be an idiot?”

He laughed and turned to Guo Jia. “Fengxiao, today is the first day our big data experiment successfully harvested results, so it has great commemorative value. But I must tell you, today is only the beginning. From now on, I will not give you any hints, nor will I point out which posts to focus on. It will all be up to you and Ziyang to find.”

“I hope this big data experiment can truly transform into a complete research organization. This is a crucial task that concerns the survival of our Territory. Starting today, I formally entrust this to both of you.”

With the newbie mission finished, Mo Xiaobai felt it was time to let Guo Jia explore the charm of big data on his own. Just like a child who has just learned to walk, you have to hold their hand for a while, but eventually, you must let them go.

“Jia (Ye), we will not fail your Lord’s great expectations!”

Guo Jia and Liu Ye bowed to reply. They had come to Daming Village not for a vacation; both wanted to show their ambitions.

And this journey would start with “Big Data”!

Leaving Guo Jia and Liu Ye behind, Mo Xiaobai signaled Li Guang to return to the camp and rest. He then took his token and a large bag of Mandala, and walked with Bai Hualin toward the Dong Family Courtyard.

As they stepped out of the Projection Hall, Bai Hualin sighed again. “Great God, you actually let Guo Jia and the others help you organize big data? Isn’t that too advanced? People from their era couldn’t possibly understand big data, and no one taught them about it either.”

“No one taught them, but they can figure it out themselves, right? There is no rule saying someone must have a teacher to organize information. I didn’t ask him to make tables. If I did ask him to make tables, then yes, someone would really need to teach him how to draw line charts.”

Organizing information isn’t enough? Do you even want Guo Jia to draw tables?

Great God, why don’t you just fly to heaven?

Bai Hualin looked at Mo Xiaobai in speechlessness. But at the same time, she understood a little why Daming Village always took the lead.

The Great God’s way of thinking is really different from normal people!

The two walked together to the small courtyard of the Dong Family. The moment they stepped inside, Mo Xiaobai smelled a strong medicinal scent coming from Old Master Zheng’s room. Bai Hualin smelled it too and covered her nose.

“What is that smell over there?”

“There is a patient receiving treatment here. They must have just used medicine,” Mo Xiaobai replied simply, then walked toward the small hut with an open door on the other side.

Inside, Fatty was chatting with Dong Zhen.

Carrying the bag of Mandala into the room, Mo Xiaobai smiled. “Doctor Dong, I am here to bother you again.”

“Bring it here.” Physician Dong glanced at Mo Xiaobai for a moment, then immediately reached out.

“Bring what?”

“Didn’t the Baron just have Mandala? Other than Mandala, is there any reason for you to come to me?”

“You are amazing. Here you go.”

Upon hearing this, Mo Xiaobai immediately opened the package, revealing piece after piece of Mandala leaves.

The moment the Mandala leaves were spread out, Fatty beside them clicked his tongue. “Isn’t this the main ingredient for a sedative drug?”

“Boss Cheng actually knows this? Do you sell it?”

“No. I run a legitimate pharmacy, so I don’t have such things. But once when I went west as a Traveling Merchant, I happened to encounter it. The memory is deep, very deep!”

“Haha, it seems that memory isn’t of anything pleasant,” Mo Xiaobai laughed, then looked at Dong Zhen. “This time, I need to ask Doctor Dong for a favor. Can you process it for me?”

“How do you want me to process it? Throw it away?”

“Cough, cough, I mean, can you turn it into a potion?”

“Yes.”

Dong Zhen agreed readily at first, then lifted her head to stare at Mo Xiaobai. “But Baron, you must not use this sedative to harm people.”

“No problem, absolutely no problem. This time, I will definitely not kill anyone. I need you to make some easy-to-use sedatives to save someone.”

“Use a sedative to save someone? The Baron really has a way with ideas.”

Dong Zhen gave a sidelong glance with her beautiful eyes. It seemed she easily believed Mo Xiaobai. She picked up the Mandala and stood up. “Give me an hour. I will prepare some simple sedative incense for you.”

An hour was two hours.

It was not a long time. When Mo Xiaobai finished a meal with Bai Hualin and Fatty Cheng and returned to the Dong Family Courtyard, Dong Zhen was already ready with two small porcelain bottles.

“These two bottles. The one on the left is the Awakening Pill, and the other is the Sedative Powder. Do not mix them up.”

“Thank you, thank you.”

Mo Xiaobai immediately bowed with clasped hands after taking the two bottles.

During this time, he had indeed troubled Physician Dong a lot, so he had to say thank you.

Physician Dong did not change her expression much upon hearing his thanks. She simply said, “No need to thank me. This is the Baron’s private matter. Remember to come here and farm one acre of the Medicine Field after the task is done.”

What?

You really want me to farm?

“Wait, isn’t that only for treating illnesses?”

“I made the rules. Can’t I change them now?”

Can I… change them?

Miss, you are my big shot! I obey you!

Mo Xiaobai could only tell himself not to get angry. Physician Dong was the one he invited, and regretting it now was useless.

As Mo Xiaobai walked out of the Dong Family Courtyard with a bitter expression, a soft giggle soon sounded beside him.

“If you want to laugh, just laugh. Holding it in is too hard.”

“Haha~ No way. To us Players, the Great God is almost omnipotent. It is so funny that even he can be controlled by his own Territory’s NPC just now. That sister had such a ‘cool older sister’ vibe. I will show you how to do it.”

Bai Hualin laughed uncontrollably. Then, she coughed twice, trying to put on a calm face and act like a cool older sister: “I made the rules. Can’t I change them now?”

After saying this, she glanced at Mo Xiaobai.

After finishing this whole act, Bai Hualin finally couldn’t hold back and laughed loudly. “Hahaha~ That was so interesting. I want to learn to do this in the future.”

MDZZ!

Watching Bai Hualin act silly, only these four letters echoed in Mo Xiaobai’s heart.

Ignoring Bai Hualin, he continued walking forward alone.

“Hey, hey, wait for me! You must be going to do an Instance, right? Take me with you~”

“I can take you, but first, please act normal.”

“I am already very normal.”

…

Riding out of the village, a Zao Red Horse and a Brown-Maned Horse raced quickly along the mountain path.

For the two war horses under Mo Xiaobai and Bai Hualin, a distance of ten or twenty li was not far.

As the two rode south along the mountain path and finally found that small tea and snack shop, as expected, they also saw a large group of Players gathered inside and outside the shop.

Among them was someone Mo Xiaobai knew, A-Dai.

Stopping their horses outside the shop, Mo Xiaobai jumped down. Inside the shop, A-Dai also recognized who had arrived.

He was about to stand up and greet him, but he saw Mo Xiaobai shake his head subtly. A-Dai reacted quickly. Knowing that Mo Xiaobai did not want to expose his identity, he lowered his butt back onto the seat.

“Waiter, please take good care of my horses. Bring two jars of good wine and cut three jin of cooked meat.”

Seeing that “A-Dai” understood his look, Mo Xiaobai shouted loudly, then led Bai Hualin toward the corner table where A-Dai sat alone.

Thump!

He slapped his jade-inlaid copper token onto the wooden table.
