Chapter 137: Chapter 138: Skin Care (2)_1

Nan Feng said, "I got a special remedy and got better."

"What kind of magic remedy? Why don’t you tell me about it?"

"There’s nothing magical about it. Remember the red fruits I showed you last time? It was eating the leaves of those red fruits that healed me."

"Oh," the boss took a deep breath: "Well done. You discovered this."

Nan Feng laughed a little.

The boss asked again: "Why are you here today? For a medical consultation or for picking up herbs?"

Nan Feng sat down in front of the boss, then looked at the chess board the boss had on the table: "Neither to see a doctor nor to pick herbs. How about playing a game of chess with you?"

"You know how to play?"

Nan Feng modestly said, "I know a little bit. But it would be better than playing alone, wouldn’t it?"

The boss laughed and said, "That’s true. Alright, since you’re a pretty young lady, I’ll go easy on you."

Unexpectedly to the boss, he was defeated by Nan Feng in less than ten moves.

"This round doesn’t count, it’s the remnants of my previous game. Let’s start over," the boss said, feeling humiliated for losing to a little girl from the village.

Nan Feng generously laughed: "Alright, then let’s have another round."

The second round ended in the same way after just fifteen moves.

The boss exclaimed, "I didn’t see it coming, but you’re a real expert!"

Nan Feng said, "Just average, I’m third in the world."

At the Special Agent School, there is no internet, so everyone plays chess in their spare time, that’s how she refined her skills.

"Play again, play again," the boss said, excited to meet an expert.

Nan Feng pushed the chess pieces away: "Forget it, you’re no match for me, it’s boring to play this way."

"Let’s play another round," the boss pleaded.

Nan Feng smiled cunningly: "I can play another round, but first, I need to ask you for some advice."

"Oh, what do you want to know?"

Nan Feng pointed to the acne marks on her face: "Can these be removed?"

The boss looked at Nan Feng for a while: "Well... that’s quite hard. Many girls in town who have had acne have the same issue, and a lot of them have come to me about it, but I haven’t had a solution, however..."

"However, what?" Nan Feng asked.

The boss said, "I do have some medical books at home, would you like to borrow them and take a look? I usually treat symptoms like cold, fever, broken bones, etc., and rarely study dermatological treatments."

"That works," Nan Feng felt that having a professional guide was much better than meddling blindly on her own.

...

That day, Nan Feng played chess with the boss while reading the medical books. Though she didn’t find a special remedy, she did find several medicines for acne scars, and conveniently, the boss had them for sale in his shop.

Also, Nan Feng bought some Angelica, Atractylodes, Bletilla, Peony, Blueberry, and Poria cocos. The medical books said, these herbs can whiten the skin.

After thinking for a bit, Nan Feng borrowed tools for grinding Chinese Medicine from the boss’s shop, ground all these medicinal materials into powder, and planned to make them into a skincare ointment.

Later on, Nan Feng noticed a wind-cold and analgesic ointment in the boss’s shop, she was curious: "Boss, how did you make this ointment?"

The boss answered her: "Easy! Just add some almond oil, and wax, heat for half a day, turn off the stove when it gets thick, and it solidifies into an ointment as it cools."

So that’s how it was.

Nan Feng thought she could make improvements based on this. Therefore, she got a large bag of dried Osmanthus from the store.

After playing chess with the boss for half a day, and giving him some instructions, the boss actually did not charge her any money, and even invited Nan Feng to come over anytime to teach him chess.

Nan Feng gladly agreed.
