Chapter 52 S-Rank Item [Medicine Jar]
Not all highway toll stations are harmless.
Do not believe in God.
Pei Hening gleaned some information from his words.
She took one last look at the highway church, then turned and drove away.
The feeling she got from speaking online and meeting in person was very disconnected.
Pei Hening thought of the "Fairy Descending to Earth" story; perhaps this information broker knew something.
[DibiDibi]: Do you have the message of [God's faithful believer]?
[Fairy Descending to Earth]: Why did you suddenly ask about him?
[Fairy Descending to Earth]: I have a confirmed rumor that I'll give you a vehicle upgrade card.
Pei Hening sent a vehicle upgrade card.
[Fairy Descending to Earth]: Some say he once changed his name.
Change the name?
On the day of the public beta test of Highway Survival, she tried changing her name while studying the player panel.
The system indicated that the name could not be changed.
How did this "faithful believer in God" manage to do it? And what was his original name?

There's still no news about Chu Xuange!
What reassured her somewhat was that his profile picture was still lit up.
Pei Hening's skin tone returned to normal, and she stopped the car and opened the box!
Congratulations to player [滴比滴比] for obtaining Glue*2, Iron Block*2, Screw*2, and Spring*1.
Congratulations to player [滴比滴比] for receiving 3 Vehicle Upgrade Cards, 6 Bottles of Mineral Water, 6 Little Puddings, and 1 Glass.

...
"Congratulations to player [DibiDibi] for killing the mutated bee swarm. Experience +26, mutated honey*1 dropped."
"Congratulations to player [DibiDibi] for killing a Fiendish Bird Monster*1, experience +4"
"Congratulations to player [DibiDibi] for killing a mutated megalodon*1, experience +20, mutated wolf pelt*1 dropped."
After opening all the chests and defeating all the monsters that came out of them, it was already 17:58.
There was still no news of Chu Xuange.
The closer it got to 6 p.m., the more anxious she became.
17:59:46
[Princess Ningning]:!!
[Princess Ningning]: I'm back!
[DibiDibi]: Tell me over the phone?
There was a moment of silence on the other end.
[Princess Ningning]: I should send a message. I look a bit disheveled right now.
[Dibi Dibi]: You didn't go to school today, what happened?
[Princess Ningning]: I ran into a "Highway Police Station" stop and stirred up a hornet's nest.
When Chu Xuange encountered the "Highway Police Station" checkpoint, it was like a lamb entering a tiger's den.
But he simplified the danger into a lighthearted phrase: "stirred up a hornet's nest."
Pei Hening didn't know what to say to him, so she gave him some healing medicine.
[DibiDibi]: Did you see the message Helian Ye sent you?
Chu Xuange opened the message sent by Helian Ye.
When he saw the contents clearly, his breath caught in his throat, and he unconsciously clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white.
The wounds that had just been treated on his body instantly burst open, and blood gushed out!
—Qin Lianghan!
—This scumbag is still alive!
[Princess Ningning]: I'll get the transfer card at the end of the month and then I'll go and process it.
[Princess Ningning]: I will kill him with my own hands!
Pei Hening knew he didn't want her involved in the revenge, so she asked him about his injuries instead.
[DibiDibi]: Is the injury serious?
Chu Xuange looked at the wound that was still bleeding profusely even after using a healing skill, and scratched his hair in frustration.
It has to be said that the police and bounty hunters really went to great lengths to catch him!
Even though they were still under the control of the road survival game, they still used the highest combat power available at the moment.
Chu Xuange used another healing technique on the penetrating wound in his chest—it worked! But only a little bit!
He exhaled a breath of stale air, not wanting her to worry.
[Princess Ningning]: It's nothing serious, I'll recover tomorrow.
[Dibi Dibi]: Call me.
[滴比滴比]: Now.
Realizing he couldn't escape being checked up on, he deliberately adjusted the angle to make sure his wounds weren't exposed in the video before calling her.
Pei Hening immediately spotted Chu Xuange sitting in the driver's seat, his face pale and his condition quite poor.
She wasn't happy. "Nothing serious? Do you look like nothing's wrong?"
Chu Xuange chuckled and continued to reassure the person: "It's really nothing serious, just a minor injury. You'll definitely recover by tomorrow."
Pei Hening seized on the loophole in his words: "Recover tomorrow? The medicine didn't work?"
Seeing that she was angry, Chu Xuange stopped making excuses: "It's effective, but the effect is limited."
"Let me see your wound."
Chu Xuange exposed part of his wound; the gruesome penetrating wound was on his chest, and if it were even slightly off-center, it would likely have struck a vital organ!
"Does it hurt a lot?"
Chu Xuange smiled, his dark eyes crinkling, and shook his head: "No."
Pei Hening flipped through the cards in her hand.
We couldn't find a suitable treatment tool for him.
"Wait."
She frowned, put on a "good luck" mask, and pulled out the diamond boxes from the beta test, opening them one by one.
Congratulations to player [滴比滴比] for obtaining 10 Space Expansion Stones, 1 "I'll Kill You If You're My Only Child", 4 Rainbow Bird Feathers (A), and 36 Gold Coins.
"Congratulations to player [滴比滴比] for winning one of the Three Miracles*1, one Insurance Policy*1, one Medicine Jar*1, and 29 Gold Coins."
She opened only two boxes and got the item she wanted—a palm-sized silver jar engraved with unknown magical runes.
[Medicine Pot] (S-rank): Minor ailments, easily dealt with! After use, it produces a bowl of black and bitter Chinese medicine based on the user's condition, which can remove negative statuses (except curses), restore 100% health and 100% mana, and has a cooldown of 24 hours.
It looked similar to her [See Spring], and she gave her [Medicine Jar] over.
"Let's try the [medicine pot] for its effects."
Chu Xuange took the jar and used it under Pei Hening's expectant gaze, pouring out a bowl of dark, bitter Chinese medicine.
He ignored the ominous aura and drank the Chinese medicine.
He was clearly prepared for the Chinese medicine to taste bad.
But why would anything taste so awful?!
It's like someone who hates cilantro chewing on ten tons of cilantro raw, feeling nauseous and hopeless as if they've been completely pickled by it!
The good news is that the traditional Chinese medicine produced in the [medicine pot] is indeed effective!
The bad news is, he's going to vomit from the smell of Chinese medicine!
Seeing his expression change repeatedly and not receiving a reply, Pei Hening asked, "How is it? How is it?"
Chu Xuange got up from the driver's seat with a bitter face, and said quickly as he ran to the bathroom, "It works, baby, you play by yourself for a while, I need to take a shower, this smell is too strong, I can't stand it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from the camera's view.
While the [Good Luck] skill effect was still active, Pei Hening continued opening the boxes!
