Chapter 169: Chapter 166: Everyone is Watching

He had to admit, nothing the system rewarded was ever simple. Take the work uniform from the very beginning—it was extremely comfortable to wear.

So far, Lin Feng had yet to find any clothing more comfortable than the work uniform.

Now that the Clothing Workshop was built, the work uniforms could be produced directly inside. They had already hired a few employees.

For now, however, these employees could only make simple clothes. He figured that after this month’s wages were paid out, a few master craftsmen might be willing to come over.

[Qi Replenishing Soup: Replenishes qi and blood, strengthens the spleen and stomach.]

"This description is as simple as it gets, cut from the same cloth as the Clearing Heat and Stopping Cough Pills."

Lin Feng didn’t even need to test it. He was sure this stuff was just like the Clearing Heat and Stopping Cough Pills. It would undoubtedly work wonders for people with anemia or spleen and stomach issues.

Looking at the recipe, he saw that this medicine couldn’t be made into pills. It couldn’t even be brewed and sold as a Medicinal Tea like the Clearing Heat and Stopping Cough Pills.

On the bright side, this recipe didn’t require him to apply for a manufacturing license. It could be used directly within the Medicine House.

’That’s good news, at least.’

Lin Feng pushed the door open and went in, seeing several people holding their phones and discussing the latest police notice from Wuyuan County.

"The Earth God is the real deal. That woman actually did have something wrong with her," Zhou Jun exclaimed.

Sun Lili said, "That woman caused a huge scene in the lab this afternoon, insulting Professor Quan. You could tell she was no good just by looking at her."

Zhou Jun saw Lin Feng enter and said, "The police put out a notice about that shrew who was arrested this afternoon. She and her husband murdered someone together.

The boy was just so traumatized that it caused some problems with his brain."

"No, there’s definitely more to it. The boy couldn’t smell the fragrance, which means he has a problem too."

Lin Feng’s words reminded them that the whole incident had escalated because the boy was unable to smell the fragrance.

"That’s right. If the boy could have smelled the fragrance, his mother wouldn’t have caused a scene, and she wouldn’t have been exposed."

Hu Xia asked, "The boy couldn’t smell the fragrance. Does that mean he has a problem too?"

"He definitely has an issue. As for what it is, we’ll have to wait for the police investigation’s findings.

However, he’s a minor and is currently suffering from mental health issues, so the police are unlikely to release any details about his condition."

"Don’t tell me the whole family are villains!" Hu Zhiming said, somewhat surprised.

"It’s actually possible. The police only gave a general statement; they didn’t release any specific details."

Lin Feng looked at the police notice. ’There must be more to this that hasn’t been fully investigated.’

However, the fact that the couple had committed murder together was already set in stone, because a buried body had been discovered at the boy’s old family home.

Sun Lili now had an even clearer understanding of the Earth God’s miraculous power.

She’d read online that bad things happen to bad people who pray to the god, while good things happen to good people. She hadn’t believed it, but now a real-life case had proven it true.

After eating dinner and returning to her place, she video-called her aunt.

A smile appeared on Wang Lihua’s haggard face. Looking at Sun Lili on the screen, her mood finally improved a little.

"Lili, what made you think to video call me? By the way, how is your treatment going in Lin Xian Village?"

Sun Lili looked at her aunt’s haggard face on the screen. Her aunt, who had always been so conscious of her appearance, had aged visibly over the past two years due to Yuyu’s illness.

"Aunt, I’m doing great. The treatment here really works. Several other patients with conditions similar to mine have already been cured.

By the way, Aunt, I’m calling you this time to tell you that the Restaurant in Lin Xian Village has a very miraculous Medicinal Cuisine. You could bring Yuyu here to try it.

Also, Yuyu’s condition is a psychological issue too, so maybe the place where I’m getting treated could help her as well."

Wang Lihua asked excitedly, "Is what you’re saying true? Can they really treat anorexia there?"

"Aunt, don’t get too excited yet. I’m not sure if it can be cured.

But after experiencing it myself, I found this place is truly amazing. You could bring Yuyu over to give it a try."

Hearing the uncertainty in her voice, a trace of disappointment flickered across Wang Lihua’s face. She had tried so many methods in the past two years.

Whether it was medicine or praying to all sorts of deities, nothing had worked. Her daughter’s frail body broke her heart, but there was nothing she could do.

Sometimes, late at night, she would cry silently, wishing she were the one who was sick instead.

"Thank you, Lili. I’ll ask your uncle in a bit and see what he thinks."

Her daughter’s body couldn’t handle the strain of a long trip. If they were really to go, they would have to take every precaution.

"Okay, ask my uncle, or you can give my mom a call."

’Actually, there’s an even better way to treat Yuyu: the Jade Grapes of Lin Xian Village.’

Unfortunately, from what she’d heard these past two days, the Jade Grapes were extremely difficult to purchase, and there was no telling when they would be ripe.

About ten minutes later, her mother surprisingly sent her a message.

"Can Lin Xian Village really treat anorexia?"

"Mom, I’m not sure, but the Medicinal Cuisine in Lin Xian Village is amazing. I feel like we should let Yuyu come and try it.

By the way, my treatment here is also effective, so it should help Yuyu too."

"Then I’ll have your aunt take Yuyu over to try. I hope it works this time."

’Considering how magical Lin Xian Village is,’ Sun Lili thought, ’even if it’s not effective, just coming here will be good for Yuyu.’

At the very least, she could take Yuyu to pray to the Earth God. Maybe a miracle would happen.

She told her mother about the Earth God in Lin Xian Village, especially about what happened today, which was just too incredible.

After hearing her daughter, Wang Liyun also grew curious about the Earth God of Lin Xian Village and planned to find some time to come and pray.

「Meanwhile, in a laboratory in Jiangcheng City」

Researchers stared at the analytical data for the Medicinal Cuisine.

"What’s going on this time? We didn’t detect any mysterious substances."

"I heard this Medicinal Cuisine was supposed to be amazing. It’s strange that there are no mysterious substances."

They had tested many things from Lin Xian Village. They thought they’d get some results from the Medicinal Cuisine this time, but the outcome was even less remarkable than with the water from before.

"Just upload the report. Why are you worrying so much? It’s not like it has anything to do with us."

"I’m just curious. The water from last time was incredible, and so were the Jade Grapes and the Medicinal Tea.

It just feels a little strange that we didn’t detect anything this time."

The data was quickly uploaded. Many people who saw the test results for the Medicinal Cuisine were also bewildered.

The rumors about this Medicinal Cuisine claimed that Lin Feng himself had acknowledged its effects, yet they hadn’t detected anything at all.

Moreover, some of them had even eaten the Medicinal Cuisine themselves and could clearly feel its effects.

"What’s going on? How could they not detect any mysterious substances?"

"What’s so strange about that? Some things just can’t be detected with current scientific methods.

Like the Arrow Towers there, and the Earth God. There’s no way to scientifically determine the reason for any of it."

"Sigh, I feel like what we’re doing now is a complete waste of time. We’re not getting any results at all."

"Are you thinking of giving up? If we find the cause, it would be a treasure of immeasurable value.

That kid in Lin Xian Village has no idea how to use it. He’s just letting good things go to waste."

This person coveted what Lin Feng possessed. If he could, he’d snatch it all away and show Lin Feng how to really make money with those things.

Lin Feng was unaware that there was a group of people, driven by their own interests, constantly plotting to get their hands on his secrets.

「After a good night’s sleep」

Lin Feng had breakfast and then headed to the Medicine House, where he found his employees already at work.

"Do you all work this early every day?"

"Good morning, Boss. Yes, we’re volunteering for overtime. No one is forcing us."

"Boss, we saw online that the Clearing Heat and Stopping Cough Pills are sold out, so we figured we’d work overtime to make some more."

They were all very proactive about working overtime here in Lin Xian Village, because their boss actually paid them for it.

Unlike their previous jobs, where they didn’t get overtime pay and their monthly salary was barely enough to survive.

"You still need to take care of your health. Working overtime isn’t a good thing."

"It’s fine, Boss. We have the Medicinal Cuisine now. We eat it every day and don’t feel as tired."

Lin Feng was speechless. These guys were taking full advantage of the Medicinal Cuisine’s effects.

Even the Restaurant hadn’t started using its anti-fatigue effects yet, but he never expected the Medicine House to be the first.

"You still need to rest. You could find a partner, or spend time with your families."

’Lin Feng thought about his own past jobs, where he was worked like a dog every day and had no time for such things.’

Hearing Lin Feng’s words, some lowered their heads shyly, while others just smiled. ’What a great boss,’ they thought. ’This is a true entrepreneur of the people.’

Guo Hao, who had just walked in, saw the boss inside and hurried over.

"Boss, did you need something?"

Lin Feng took out the recipe and said, "Here, this is a recipe I just got. You can try it out on patients with the relevant symptoms to see how it works."

Guo Hao carefully took the recipe. ’The boss has finally brought out another prescription!’ he thought.

During their breaks, they would often analyze the Clearing Heat and Stopping Cough Pills. They had concluded that only the prescriptions provided by the boss had such miraculous effects.

Of course, they also knew that the Medicine House itself, where they now worked, had a hint of mystery to it.

Since the Land God Temple appeared, they were even more convinced that everything in Lin Xian Village was special.

Qi Replenishing Soup. Reading the description of its effects, Guo Hao’s eyes narrowed instantly.

’Replenishes qi and blood, strengthens the spleen and stomach...’ he thought. ’If these two effects are on par with the Clearing Heat and Stopping Cough Pills, this is definitely a fantastic medicine.’

’It’s just a shame that this medicine can’t be mass-produced, it seems.’

"I’m heading out. Let me know when you get results from your tests."

"Okay, Boss."

After Lin Feng left, everyone crowded around, wanting to see the new prescription.

"Dr. Guo, let us see too."

"Don’t rush. Let me take a picture of the prescription first. We have all these herbs. I’ll prepare a dose in a bit to test its effects."

"Dr. Guo, can people take this medicine even if they’re not sick?"

Guo Hao smiled and said, "This medicine replenishes qi and blood and strengthens the spleen and stomach. As long as you don’t take too much, it’s definitely fine.

I’ll brew some in a bit. Everyone can have a little and see if it has any effect."

Just then, Wu Xianlin walked in from outside and asked, "What are you all gathered around talking about?"

"Old Wu, quick! The boss brought over a new prescription."

Wu Xianlin instantly perked up. Without even changing his clothes, he walked straight over.

"Qi Replenishing Soup... replenishes qi and blood, strengthens the spleen and stomach... Let’s prepare a dose first and test the effects."

Soon, all the Medicine House employees had arrived. Hearing that the boss had brought a new prescription, they were all curious to see if it would also have miraculous effects.

They quickly gathered the necessary medicinal herbs, took out the earthenware pot used for brewing Medicinal Tea, and started to cook the Qi Replenishing Soup.

"Don’t just stand here watching. Get back to work. I’ll call you when it’s ready."

"Right, right, back to work, back to work! We have to produce more Clearing Heat and Stopping Cough Pills. People are waiting for our supply."

News spread quickly from Lin Xian Village: Lin Feng had come up with a new prescription called Qi Replenishing Soup, which was said to replenish qi and blood and strengthen the spleen and stomach.

Many people who were following Lin Xian Village heard the news right away. They were all curious if this new prescription would have miraculous effects like the Clearing Heat and Stopping Cough Pills.

Some interested parties sent people to keep an eye on the situation, wanting to get the latest information as quickly as possible.

When they learned that the Qi Replenishing Soup couldn’t be made into convenient pills for sale like the Clearing Heat and Stopping Cough Pills, many were disappointed.

This meant the Qi Replenishing Soup would be much more restricted. It probably wouldn’t be as easy to purchase as the Clearing Heat and Stopping Cough Pills.

Meanwhile, back in the Medicine House in Lin Xian Village, the first batch of Qi Replenishing Soup was almost ready. Everyone had already prepared their cups, ready to test its effects.
