CHAPTER 813: CHAPTER 790: JUST ALONG FOR THE RIDE

Jiang Xiaoxiao closed her eyes; she must get used to running between two worlds.

An energy stone should last three days, and this time she clearly has no mission to go on.

A night passed without words.

The next morning, Jiang Xiaoxiao went to see the bearded captain.

Before she could knock, the door opened.

Monkey saw Jiang Xiaoxiao and immediately put on a fawning look, "Xiaoxiao, you’re here! Come in, come in, you’re really something, the captain woke up in the middle of the night, although in great pain, but alive and well."

That look was as if Jiang Xiaoxiao had become a god.

Indeed, in their eyes, Jiang Xiaoxiao now seemed very high and mighty.

This young lady, previously known as a delicate young miss, turned out to have such a strong background.

She’s a big shot.

To master ancient medical skills so advanced, and Jiang Xiaoxiao actually possesses them.

No one doubts Jiang Xiaoxiao’s medical skills now.

Liu Jian is a living example.

In this world, doctors are considered national treasures.

Didn’t you see those doctors at the clinic? Even ninth-rate ones have their noses in the air.

Moreover, this person just saved the captain from the brink of death.

Who can guarantee they won’t need her to save them in the future? She’s like a life-saving blood pack by their side.

After entering the room, Jiang Xiaoxiao, for the first time, receives top treatment.

Xue Li is all smiles, her humble attitude a far cry from yesterday’s tantrum.

"Xiaoxiao, come sit here, it was my fault yesterday, a blind mistake, sister-in-law apologizes, we were all blind before, didn’t recognize you were hiding in plain sight, Xiaoxiao, don’t take the nonsense I said before to heart, if you feel wronged, you can hit or scold me as you wish."

Xue Li pulled Jiang Xiaoxiao, affectionately as if they were sisters.

Jiang Xiaoxiao’s lips curled up, her mask hiding all her small expressions, still giving off a cool aura.

"Captain! How are you? How are you feeling today? I want to check your wound and take care of it."

This is absolutely the tone of making rounds.

Liu Jian tried to get up upon seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao, but was held down by Jiang Xiaoxiao.

"I’m much better, yesterday felt like I was going to die, but when I woke up in the night, I knew I was still alive, although the pain was unbearable and I wished I were dead.

But by morning, I knew I wouldn’t die. The wound, aside from the pain, doesn’t feel like much."

This is a life-saving benefactor.

Jiang Xiaoxiao put on gloves, took out disinfectant, and the moment she unraveled the bandage, everyone was shocked.

The chest wound that was terrifying and gaping yesterday had transformed into three horrendous scars today, looking eerily like some alien creature, making people uneasy, yet all the exposed organs were wrapped tightly.

Jiang Xiaoxiao cleaned his wound, "The recovery is good, continue intravenous today, you can start taking some liquid food, avoid anything irritating, and barring any surprises, in a week you can have the stitches removed, and in a month I guarantee you’ll be up and about."

Liu Jian’s physique indeed recovers quickly, even better than when using the Peach Pill.

Modern humans five thousand years later have certainly improved physique-wise, fortunately their body structure hasn’t changed.

It’s just that genetic modifications have changed recovery capabilities and body strength.

From Jiang Xiaoxiao’s observations yesterday, that creature capable of harming Liu Jian must have been very powerful, and Liu Jian’s survival was due to himself.

It also attributes to medication and surgery.

Liu Jian and their bodies likely have no immunity to the medication, hence the effectiveness.

It’s a coincidence of time, place, and people.

"A month and I’ll be fine? Xiaoxiao, thank you so much, such injuries are generally fatal for us, surviving is rare, and recovery usually takes at least a year. In a month you’ve promised I’ll be up and running, Xiaoxiao, your life-saving grace is immeasurable; I’ll share half my earnings with you, this brother’s life is yours."

Liu Jian thumped his chest in assurance, stopped by Jiang Xiaoxiao.

"Captain, careful with the wound, actually I’ve been under everyone’s care for so long, without your care, I’d probably have died long ago, this is just my tiny effort. We are comrades, more than that, we are family, that day when the captain didn’t abandon us, Youli and I were deeply grateful."

This is the truth, Jiang Xiaoxiao found out after returning, under such circumstances, the captain could have chosen to abandon them to escape, no one would have faulted him.

This is the survival rule here.

But the bearded one didn’t, even if Monkey and others disliked Jiang Xiaoxiao, they didn’t abandon them.

This is kindness.

"Say no more, Xiaoxiao, you’re right, we are comrades!"

All understood without words.

Three days later when Liu Jian had his stitches removed, Jiang Xiaoxiao told everyone, she needed a day of rest, everyone was getting in her way, tomorrow there’s a mission to set off on.

She needed to go back today, otherwise the Meteorite Ring would forcibly eject her.

Jiang Xiaoxiao discovered a method; she can travel between this world and her original world by turning the Meteorite Ring.

Jiang Xiaoxiao returned to her room, swiftly headed home, and settled the kids.

Delegated full hospital management to Bai Yiyi.

Prepared a batch of drugs and medical equipment, food, and water, glanced at Song Moting still sleeping, and silently kissed her lover; she had to leave.

Jiang Xiaoxiao locked herself in the laboratory.

The best excuse, as each time Jiang Xiaoxiao is normal in the lab, it usually lasts ten days to a half month, not excessive.

There is food and water, and cleaning staff.

No one usually disturbs Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Since there are people who clean, if they don’t see Jiang Xiaoxiao, they’ll assume she’s out.

Jiang Xiaoxiao activated the energy stone.

Ten energy stones are enough for her to stay for a while.

She really needed to find that stubborn meteorite.

Today their team lacked the bearded captain, so they had to merge and set off with another team.

Originally, Monkey could lead the team himself, but the bearded captain and Monkey discussed for a long time.

To ensure Jiang Xiaoxiao’s safety, if this were before, they wouldn’t care one bit about her safety.

In their original mindset, if Jiang Xiaoxiao died on a mission, it would simply mean one less burden.

Each time they took her along, it required others to protect her, splitting their attention and efforts.

But things are different now; in their hearts, Jiang Xiaoxiao’s weight is higher than the heavens, such a person who can save lives, how could they not ensure her safety?

Anyone could die, but not Jiang Xiaoxiao.

As long as Jiang Xiaoxiao lives, they might all survive.

Who wouldn’t protect their own life?

In such circumstances, if Monkey leads the team and sets off, he might face inexperience and insufficient protection, but merging with another team greatly increases the safety factor.

Protecting Jiang Xiaoxiao is certainly guaranteed.

Jiang Xiaoxiao followed them on the road.

At the elevator entrance, the opposing team had ten people, nine men and one woman.

Meeting both sides, when seeing Youli and Jiang Xiaoxiao appear, many peoples’ gazes changed upon seeing Youli.

Youli indeed looked very enchanting.

Jiang Xiaoxiao, disguised with a cloak and mask, left people indifferent to her beauty or lack thereof.

Hot gazes fell entirely on Youli.

Youli is used to it; the nine-hundred-floor people naturally have their circles, she’s indifferent to their gazes, anyone thinking of strong-arming her will find her no pushover.

In a month she would be leaving.

Hope for no mishaps.

Youli habitually instructed Jiang Xiaoxiao, "Stay behind me, don’t get careless, it’s our first collaboration with these people."

Implied meaning, although aware of the opponent’s background, it’s not guaranteed.

Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded, following Youli without any hesitation.

Monkey stepped up to greet the opposing captain.

"Captain Lu, these are our people, let’s hope for a pleasant cooperation this time."

Captain Lu’s Flying Tiger Team is a renowned wolf pack on the 900th floor, cooperating with them brings its own apprehension.

However, they stated that they plan to head to the Star Sky Forest to gather this year’s fruits, forming teams mainly for one to defend while another gathers.

To put it bluntly, hiring a few laborers.

Which fits the requirements.

They are responsible for harvesting, and being swift isn’t too difficult.

Mighty beasts aren’t abundant in the Star Sky Forest.

They are all low-level beasts with little danger.

They are simply playing minor roles.
