Chapter 93: When Luck defies Death (1)
The bigshot nuker who the players were talking about on the global chat was occupied at the moment.
Li Chunhua, whose eyes were drawn to the familiarity of the man’s face, kept scratching her scalp and didn’t pay any heed to wannabe adopted sons and daughters or info-seekers on the global chat.
Her eyes traced the contours of the man, from the hair, blacker than squid ink, to his skin tone resembling the newly boiled and peeled egg, then to his sharp brows and long, lush eyelashes, finer than the high-quality brush bristles aunties would use to caramelize the roasted meat on their grills.
His cheeks, which have a slight blush similar to crystal juicy peaches from the spiritual orchard grown in their sect, were repeatedly plucked clean by Senior Sister and her.
Li Chunhua didn’t stop, and her eyes traveled on the man’s nose, having a perfect slope more seamless than when the sponge cake achieved the flawless soft texture, and finally the lips, which had a layer of sugar, making her think of a pale version of sweet candied hawthorns.
( ̄﹃ ̄)
With such a face that reminds her entirely of food, she should have remembered this man somehow, but no matter how she racked her brains, her brain remained a big potluck of mixed dishes; not a name emerged.
Her train of thoughts burst into bubbles when Siri spoke.
"Master, he has excessive bleeding, and the temperature of his body is getting cold. The hemostatic medicine and little Ginseng’s skill can only do little; unless we have the complete components for a Master-Grade Healing Potion and an alchemy room, his condition will only worsen." Siri’s brows furrowed after making the initial diagnosis.
Fractures, broken bones, lacerations, second-degree burn marks, excessive blood loss, whip marks, cuts and so many more. Siri was amazed that this man was able to hold it until now. But it won’t be for long because his breathing is getting shallower.
"Ji ji ji." (Little Ginseng had done its best, but the stranger wouldn’t wake up.) The little ginseng that returned to its original appearance was at the foot of the kang bed, and its two leaves drooped at the top of its head after realizing his incompetence.
Li Chunhua squatted down and patted its head, guessing its thoughts at the moment: "Little Ginseng was already good; it’s just that brother stranger’s condition was extreme. Don’t be sad or little Ginseng will not be cute anymore. Don’t worry. Sister Baozi will find a way."
Little Ginseng, who was comforted a bit, nodded before turning its attention back to the handsome brother.
Such a handsome brother should not die!
Little Mantou was also ogling between Siri and the unconscious man as his face-fetish syndrome was acting up. Really handsome, on par with Sir Elf!
"Brother Siri, what are the components of a healing potion?" Li Chunhua asked while inching closer to the man. Her qi entered the man’s body once more to inspect his condition.
Torn ligaments, tendons, and broken bones, especially around the rib cage and legs, were registered in her mind immediately.
She closed her connection, finding it hard to continue in her examination, and only resumed injecting her qi to keep the HP points afloat.
Sadly, she didn’t know the complex body repair technique; otherwise, she would be able to heal the man. Her qi was only able to nourish the spirit but couldn’t solve the root cause.
To put it simply, if she were to explain, you could imagine the man’s body as a balloon with holes and her qi as air. No matter how she injects, it will not help in the man’s recovery but only block the blood vessels from further bleeding.
"We already have a hundred-year-old ginseng. We only lack three herbs: Third-Class Ivory Sassafras, Second-Class Sanguine Mustard, and Second-Class Star Borage."
Siri enumerated the herbs needed before adding grim news: "Master, those can only be found in the lairs of high-level monsters, and if we waste our time searching for them, this man would not last long."
After Siri said those words, the man’s HP dropped 1 point. Li Chunhua sped up the transfer of qi, but it was stuck at 19, which meant the method was no longer working.
Siri, Little Mantou, and the Little Ginseng frowned.
Will this really be the end?
Li Chunhua searched her inventory for anything helpful. Although the system had only allowed them to keep 10% of the loot and treasure chests, it was still a lot.
Li Chunhua could see the metal balls, medicines, fabrics, tools, the box Gentleman Gong gave, Brother Siri’s cook book, Little Mantou’s pouch of candies, and others in the different slots. Unfortunately, among the herbs she picked up before, none of those were necessary components.
Watching someone slowly die in front of your eyes, even when he’s not related, Li Chunhua was still gloomy.
She pursed her lips until she heard the familiar ringing.

[You’ve received the following rewards: 2 titles: Secret Realm’s Pioneer Explorer, Secret Realm’s Conqueror, 1 mysterious chest, 2 legendary chests, 2 epic chests, 3 gold chests, 5 silver chests, 10 bronze chests, and Earth 2000 points.]
So many chests!
[You’ve received a pack of Chumpet Seedlings from the mandatory mission rewards.]
Li Chunhua remembered the foodie mission. This should be the food with essence the system was referring. She thought it would be cooked food, but she actually needed to plant it first.
The system loves being vague.
But Li Chunhua set aside the seedling in her inventory and viewed the description of the chests.
[Gold Chest
- 50% bronze-grade weapons or equipment, 37% silver-grade weapons or equipment, 20% gold-grade equipment, 3% other items]
The descriptions of the chests were the same. The only difference was the rarity of items she could get and the percentage chance of obtaining them.
Her eyes were attracted to the last phrase of every description: Other Items.
Unlike the treasure chest of the Hallow City secret realm, which only gives ordinary items, the system rewards chest can give her otherworldly items.
Even though it was only a pitiful less than ten percent, it didn’t dampen her hope.
Little Baozi isn’t the type to easily give up!
She summoned all the chests out of her inventory and laid them next to her feet, so she could open them one by one with her right hand while her left injects qi.
The appearance of the colorful chests stunned Siri, Little Mantou, and even Little Ginseng.
(⊙_(⊙_⊙)_⊙)
"Master, where did you get all of these?" Siri stammered.
"The system rewards!" Li Chunhua grabbed the lid of the closest one, a gold before shouting. "Ancestor! Please bless Baozi!"
A golden light spread in the room.
