“Little girl, did anyone tell you not to meddle in other people’s business?” The old man saw that something was wrong and took out his two truncheons.
“Heh…”

Nian Yue scoffed lightly and stretched her muscles. After not doing anything for two days, her hands were really itchy.

‘Wang Zhizhi paid the hospitalization fee and ran over. She saw a group of people surrounding Nian Yue.

“Nian Yue…”

‘Wang Zhizhi’s face turned pale, and everyone sighed. How could a little girl be a match for a middle-aged man!

‘The middle-aged man was even holding a weapon! Despite this, no one dared to help.

‘When the police rushed over after receiving the call, they saw a cold-looking young girl with one hand in her pocket and a middle-aged man in the other. “He’s a repeat offender…”
“Tm sorry, please come with us.”

‘The crowd had dispersed. There was a teenager around 15 or 16 years old who was carrying a school bag and leaning against the wall.

‘The young man had a very deceptive baby face, and his clear eyes were filled with surprise.

He seemed to have found his own kind!

It was that kind of ability!

‘The young man took out his phone and made a call. “Mommy, help me check on someone.”

That lady was too cool. He wanted to find out more about her!

When Nian Yue finished her statement, the sky was already dark.
“Nian Yue, are you alright…”
‘When Wang Zhizhi saw her coming out, she hurriedly went up to her, her face full of worry.

“What could be the matter?” Nian Yue zipped up her bag tightly with one hand in her pocket. With a nonchalant expression on her face, she turned to Wang Zhizhi and instructed, “Oh right, help me find a few herbs.”

It wasn’t enough for Madam Wang’s body to be repaired simply through cell renewal. She would need Chinese medicine later on.

Nian Yue passed the note to her. It was written on a piece of paper that she had borrowed from the staff when she was taking her statement.

There were only the names of a few medicinal herbs on it, but they were extremely difficult to find.

‘When Wang Zhizhi saw her handwriting, her eyes were momentarily stunned. “Nian Yue, have you practiced calligraphy before?”

She had accidentally seen Nian Yue’s test paper once and it was quite casually written.

But the words on the paper in her hand were sharp and majestic. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it was written by a master.

“Be quick,” Nian Yue instructed, her brows furrowed with impatience. “Let’s go.”

The girl’s back was cold and she seemed to be nonchalant, but her face was pale and weak.

‘When Nian Yue returned home, her face was so pale that it was almost transparent.

‘There was an electric current running through her slender and fair fingers. Her supernatural power didn’t have much of an effect on Madam Wang. What she needed to do next was to use Chinese medicine to nourish her body.
In the post-apocalyptic era, pharmacists were different from doctors nowadays.

Pharmacists and healing Esper Abilities complemented each other, using potions to treat and save people.

In the post-apocalyptic era, viruses had long developed into powerful viruses. Ordinary drugs had no effect on viruses. This was why pharmacists were born.

Nian Yue entered the bathroom and came out after taking a shower. She casually took a towel and wiped her hair.

When she walked out, there was a knock on the door. Nian Yue went to open the door and saw a man in black.

Nian Yue had only come out in her pajamas. Her hair had not dried and was dripping with water. Her usually cold face was now a little soft.

The man was a little close to her. The moment he got closer, she could smell a faint, familiar fragrance.

“What’s the matter?” Nian Yue raised her eyebrows.

“Are you sick?” Fu Xiuyuan reached out to touch her forehead. He was very fast. Before Nian Yue could react, he had already retracted his hand.

“No.”

However, the excessive consumption of her supernatural power had caused a strain on her body.

“Have some warm milk.” Fu Xiuyuan had a cup of warm milk in his hand. The transparent glass was still steaming.

He must have just warmed it up.

Nian Yue looked at him in confusion. Did this man come over in the middle of the night to bring her milk?

“Ninth master…” Jiang Jincheng walked out of the room in his slippers.

Fu Xiuyuan grabbed Nian Yue’s wrist and placed the milk in her hand.

Her wrist was slender and white. It looked like it could be broken with a little force.

His fingers were cold and calloused.

It was just a brief moment of contact.

She turned around and returned to her room.

‘When Fu Xiuyuan returned, Jiang Jincheng yawned in his sleep. “You came all the way here just to warm up milk for her?”

Fu Xiuyuan’s expression was extremely calm. He entered the kitchen and took out another glass of milk. “Have you found the person who hacked into the overseas system?”

“It’s a little difficult…”

Jiang Jincheng shook his head. “I resorted to asking Chengyuan and he said he couldn’t uncover anything…”
“Continue investigating.” Fu Xiuyuan rubbed his temples. His eyes were deep, and his expression was unreadable.
“Theard from Bai Shuo that you took the medicine?” Jiang Jincheng glanced at the white milk in his hand.
“Do you mean to say I can’t use it?” Fu Xiuyuan raised an eyebrow.

“That’s not it…” Jiang Jincheng put his hands in his pockets.” That thing is rare in the capital. A young lady…”
He did not finish his sentence, but Jiang Jincheng chuckled.

Nian Yue took the milk and casually placed it on the table. When she came out after drying her hair, she glanced at the milk on the table. There was some frustration in her eyes as she walked back to her room.

‘The next day, class was as usual. Nian Yue leaned against the back wall. Her phone was still the game interface.

She did not like to play games, but she felt that the lessons were boring.

Usually, she would only sleep for three to four hours at night. She would always come to the class to catch up on her sleep. However, she did not suffer from insomnia after sleeping for a long time yesterday.
Nian Yue glanced at her fair and tender palm. There was a faint electric current running through it.

Amale classmate in the class saw her cell phone interface and looked a little surprised. “Nian Yue, do you play this game too?”

‘The interface on her phone was the game screen for ‘‘Pugilistic World’.

This game had just been released by Mountain Ghost Network, and it had become popular all over the country. Many gamers had abandoned it in recent day the game had gotten too difficult,

However, this did not stop the popularity of this game. As long as you were on the game’s rankings, you would have a chance to go to Mountain Ghost Network!

Mountain Ghost Network was a gaming network company that had just risen to prominence in the past two years. Every game that was developed by the company was loved by gamers!

The characters and storylines were all created by top teams in the country!

Many fans had once called out to Mountain Ghost Network to do anime. With its current modeling capabilities, the animation produced would definitely be worth a lot!

However, Mountain Ghost Network was unmoved; it stuck to releasing a game every year.

“Mm.” Nian Yue nodded her head. Her voice was light. While she was chatting with the male classmate, she had already finished off the opponent with a few bold moves.

The boy was so surprised that his jaw dropped. This was the first time he knew that the game could be played like this!
