The first sensation was a rush of icy coolness, as if she’d swallowed a mouthful of snow, followed by a sudden burst of warmth radiating from her chest upward.
As she didn’t feel any discomfort, Nanzhi finished the whole serum. The heat traveled around her body.
[Effect active: Frost resistance by 50% for two days.]
Testing the efficacy, she entered the Daily Dungeon and approached the buckets with half-melted snow, sinking her whole arm in.
She expected the usual biting chill to seep through her skin—but there was nothing.
Nanzhi was amazed and stayed in the same position. Even after five minutes, her arm felt perfectly fine, she only felt a cool breeze.
She didn’t waste any precious Game Lobby time and started making another batch after collecting firewood from the corner.
She only stopped when there was an hour left of her Game Lobby time before carrying her equipment into the Daily Dungeon again.
"Cluck!" The chickens were surprised by her sudden appearance.
In the end, she was able to make 20 more bowls of Frostbane Serum. The success rate was around 75%.
Now, her problems were finding glass vials, as she couldn’t use bowls all the time, increasing her Game Lobby time to make more serums, and her stock of honey.
There were glass vials in her inventory, but they were full of vaccine medicine.
As for the jades, Nanzhi remembered Lin Weihao.
She could sell the serums to him.
The honey part needed her to make a trip to the Misty Land to see if she could find some.
But with the remaining time, it might not be enough. She’d try tomorrow.
Nanzhi busied herself extracting more spores and separating the edible part of the mushrooms.
When Lin Weihao woke up, it was already five in the morning. He blinked and patted the space beside him for Nanzhi, but his wife was not around.
In his sleepy state, his mind seemed to wander to the day she had left him in the past.
He also found himself on the bed after regaining consciousness from consuming the spike drink. He had laid there with Haoran.
His slightly clouded eyes sank.
In the kitchen, Nanzhi heard the door burst open and Lin Weihao calling her name loudly and in panic.
"Zhi Zhi! Zhi Zhi!"
"Zhi Zhi! Zhi Zhi! Don’t leave!"
She saw Lin Weihao frantically trying to open the door.
Nanzhi dropped the knife and left the kitchen to chase after him.
"Weihao!" Nanzhi grabbed his arm, awakening him from the bad memories.
When the familiar voice and scent appeared by his side, it calmed the raging emotions in Lin Weihao.
His breath hitched, and for a moment, he couldn’t move. Relief and disbelief collided, leaving him frozen.
"You’re here," he rasped, his voice barely audible.
"Where else would I be?" she asked with confusion, but after pondering, she realized why he was acting that way.
Lin Weihao buried his face in her shoulder. "Don’t disappear on me again."
