In her past life, Ling Lan had been bedridden for 24 years. In order to get the chance to receive free treatment from the country, she had long since learned how to read people's expressions, cater to the preferences of the doctors and nurses who treated her, and act cute. Free treatment slots were very precious, and there were still many patients waiting for them. She needed to make these researchers like her, love her, and miss her. Only then would they put in a good word for her, and let her continue to stay there for treatment.
But who was Number One? He was a super fighter who had been through hundreds of battles. How could the little Ling Lan find anything in his eyes? The more Ling Lan looked at him, the more discouraged she became. She even felt that exchanging now was better than getting nothing in the future.
Just as she was about to say that she should continue exchanging, she heard the system's voice ring out, "Time's up. Exchanging 10 honour points for the Rabbit Sky Leap, successful!"
Ling Lan instantly sobered up. It turned out that 10 minutes had passed without her noticing. Knowing that it was a foregone conclusion, she quickly let go of the conflict in her heart. Since the heavens had chosen for her, even if she really did not have those honour points, she would not regret it. It had to be said that Ling Lan was a girl with a clear mind. Perhaps those 24 years of suffering had taught her not to dwell on the things she could not have.
The system continued to announce, "Exchanging successful, exchanging mission completed, one honour point awarded. 140 honour points remaining, reserved for the next exchange. "
Ling Lan was overjoyed. She had made the right bet — the honour points could indeed be reserved. Number One's words were indeed a hint. The word 'use' hinted at the preciousness of honour points, and then said that if she did not choose within 10 minutes, the system would automatically redeem them, indirectly informing her that there was only one forced exchange.
This seemingly ordinary sentence actually contained a deeper meaning. The items redeemable could range from 1 to thousands or even tens of thousands of honour points. Although Ling Lan only had 149 honour points, there were still many things she could redeem. This posed a problem — if the system's automatic exchange only yielded 1, 10, or even 50 honour points this time, what would she do with the rest of her honour points?
However, Number One's words did not contain any such information. Based on her previous experience, Ling Lan sensitively sensed that this was probably another attempt to mislead her. Perhaps the forced choice this time was actually to teach the testees how to exchange for Honor Points … It was like a teacher teaching you and hoping that you would actually do it once.
Of course, Ling Lan knew very well that every little trick of the learning space was not simple. The exchange this time must have its deeper meaning as well. However, Ling Lan did not want to waste too much time thinking about it. She had to sort out her thoughts and understand the situation.
Therefore, she chose to exchange for the Rabbit Sky Leap, which was most suitable for her. It was also a skill that she could practice at her age, and it was very secretive. Ling Lan was very satisfied with this. As for whether there was a better one … Ling Lan didn't insist. She didn't think that she was the main character and that she could find the best one just by casually flipping through the books. She was very calm.
Instructor Number One was very satisfied with Ling Lan's performance this time. Without further ado, he had Instructor Number Nine come out to guide Ling Lan in learning the Rabbit Sky Leap, as well as the next stage of physical skills, the Body Refining Nine Stances.
The Body Refining Nine Stances was a hundred times more difficult than the Basic Nine Stances. Ling Lan spent the following month practising the first stance bitterly, but to no avail. She couldn't even move her arms properly.
Ling Lan felt that this was definitely a miserable mission. At this rate, she definitely wouldn't be able to complete it within the allotted 5 years. Fortunately, Ling Lan's personality was very good. Although she felt that this was a mission that was almost impossible to complete, she was not impatient. She worked hard every day to gnaw on a little bit, hoping that when the time came, she wouldn't fall too far behind. From the Honor Points reward, Ling Lan deduced that the penalty must be related to the progress she made at the end — the closer she got to the end, the smaller the penalty would be.
Very soon, it was time for the third injection of the genetic agent. Ling Lan thought that it would be the same as the previous two injections, where she would lie down on the bed and rest for a while after the injection.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the military personnel left, Ling Lan's mother, Lan Luofeng, picked her up and passed through several secret passages before finally arriving at their destination. This was a small room. There was almost nothing inside, except for a wooden bucket half the height of a person in the middle, and a small single bed against the wall. Other than that, there was nothing else.
The moment Lan Luofeng entered, she asked the people inside, "Is everything ready?"
"Yes, Mistress!" There was also a middle-aged woman standing in the room. Ling Lan recognised her — she was Chamberlain Ling Qin's wife, Ling Nanyi.
Lan Luofeng walked over to the wooden bucket. Only then did Ling Lan see that the bucket was more than half filled with dark green water, and it was even giving off a strong medicinal fragrance.
Ling Lan was taken aback. Mind you, in this period of time, all the medicines and pills she had seen were more Western medicine, and had no smell at all. But now, this familiar smell made her feel as if she had returned to her previous life. Back then, she had drunk quite a lot of herbal Chinese medicine, but... Ling Lan's forehead was full of black lines. So much medicine, was it for her to drink?
Ling Lan's heart chilled. Looking at her mother and Ling Nanyi's stance, this bucket of medicine was definitely for her. She looked at the wooden bucket, and then secretly compared it to her own small body...
F * ck, how was she supposed to live? If she drank all this medicine, she would definitely become the first tragic baby in history to die from eating too much Chinese medicine.
Ling Lan's mother was not as cruel as she thought. She only heard her say, "Is the temperature of this medicine just right? It won't burn Ling Lan, right? "
So it was meant to be soaked, not drunk. Ling Lan's face was full of tears, and she hugged her mother emotionally. Finally, her little life was saved.
"Madam, don't worry. I've tested it, there's no problem," Ling Nanyi replied decisively. Ling Lan was the hope of the Ling family, so she didn't dare to make any mistakes.
Lan Luofeng didn't hesitate any longer. In a few moments, she had stripped Ling Lan naked and placed her in the bucket.
Ling Lan felt as though she was soaking in a hot spring. It was warm and comfortable. Then, she felt a warm current seeping into her body through her skin. An indescribable feeling surged into her heart. It felt like pain, yet not pain. It felt like itch, yet not itch. Ling Lan, who had never been afraid of pain, couldn't help but moan.
Seeing this, Lan Luofeng was very nervous. She quickly looked at Ling Lan, not knowing what was going on with Ling Lan.
Ling Nanyi comforted her, "Madam, this is very normal. The young master will be fine."
After a while, Ling Lan got used to this strange feeling. Then, the pain began to intensify. In the end, she actually felt a heart-wrenching pain similar to that of her previous life, where all the cells in her body were being torn apart...
However, this kind of pain actually calmed Ling Lan down. This was something that had been deeply ingrained in her bones for 24 years. She could definitely endure it.
"Eh? Why is there such a thing? "Ling Lan heard Little Four's exclamation in her mind.
"What's wrong?" Although she could endure it, it was easier to ignore the pain when there was someone to talk to. This was something that Ling Lan had experienced in her previous life. She was very happy to chat with Little Four.
"What a strange energy. It can actually increase the activity and toughness of the body's cells." Little Four was very curious. How was this bucket made? There was no information related to this in his database.
"It should be a secret recipe passed down in the Ling family. It's used to strengthen the body." Ling Lan didn't find it strange. No matter how small or weak the Ling family was, it was still an ancient family with a legacy of several thousand years. Ling Xiao's line was even more of a direct descendant of the family, so it wasn't strange for them to have such a secret recipe.
"My lord, the world you have here is really amazing. Heavens, what did I discover? Ninety-six percent of this medicine is actually brewed from plants... "Little Four exclaimed. He didn't expect that such a miraculous medicine didn't have the slightest hint of advanced technology. It was indeed an amazing world.
Ling Lan instantly broke into a sweat. If Chinese medicine wasn't brewed from plants and herbs, was it still Chinese medicine?
"What's the other four percent? Why is the composition of the medicine somewhat familiar... poison? Mm, it should be a type of snake venom. What is this? Scorpions? Scorpions, centipedes, and... spiders! "Little Four's voice became louder and louder, and finally turned into a scream of fear. It couldn't be helped. In the past year, Little Four had come to understand all the species in human society. He was okay with everything else, but he really couldn't accept insects with multiple legs. According to his aesthetic standards, they were really ugly to the point of destroying the heavens and destroying the earth.
Ling Lan ignored Little Four's intermittent spasms and craziness. She sighed deeply. She was actually able to experience the treatment of a novel's protagonist.
Mm, transmigrating to the future wasn't that bad. The cheat given by the transmigration god was still very useful.
