Interstellar Super Doctor

Chapter 43 Part 1 Clan

Xiào Mu stayed in the room to make pills after breakfast, while Leo went to the training ground. Today, the soldiers from the rest of the army will be there for special training so he has to go and see.

When Xiào Mu is making the pills, he ate a healing pill in the middle of the process and used his game skills to boost his spiritual power too. With the experience of last night, he can make the medicine smoothly now. Almost running out of the 50 catties of Wolfberry leaves, Xiào Mu produced a total of 2500 pills. Thinking of the prices that these medicines could sell, Xiào Mu suddenly felt like he turned rich overnight.

Xiào Mu looked at the system panel. His medical skill level has been upgraded to level 50. The new prescriptions for level 50 are intermediate mid-grade healing pill and mid-grade boost pill, with a recovery value of 4,000 points. At the same time, he unlocked the 2 special prescriptions, escalate pill and dispel pill. Xiào Mu searched the Internet for the materials he needed, and the medicinal materials needed for the Level 50’s formula are not sold on the Internet. He is not discouraged though and decided to look for them in the Medical Encyclopedia when he had time.

Xiào Mu counted 555 pills in the big medicine mortar and put them into porcelain bottles. As for the rest, he stored them in the system backpack. He didn’t prepare enough porcelain bottles for this trip. Fortunately, each medicine in the system backpack only occupies 1 grid for every 1,000 pcs.

After the pill-making, Xiào Mu felt a little tired, so he took a nap. When he woke up, it is time for lunch. He opened the door of the room to go to the cafeteria and saw Leo holding his lunch as if he is about to knock on the door. Irwin stood beside Leo and asked, “Is a guide’s hearing that good?” Then answering his own question, Irwin said, “That’s right, your spiritual power is so high. It’s not difficult to temporarily increase your five senses.”

Hearing that makes Xiào Mu’s heart moved. He can use spiritual power to improve the five senses? Xiào Mu put this question aside first, and replied with a smile, “I didn’t hear the sound. I just happened to be going to eat.”

Leo: “Don’t go. There are too many people in the cafeteria today so I brought you food.”

Xiào Mu thought of the stares from the sentinels during the meal before and immediately nodded. Then he let the two men into the room, “Thank you.”

Leo looked at Xiào Mu with a soft gaze, “You’re welcome.”

After Xiào Mu finished his meal, he handed the bottles of intermediate low-grade healing pill to Irwin, “There are 555 pills in total, and I’ll bill you the price for 500 pills.”

Irwin carefully collected the porcelain bottle. After that, he docked his terminal with Xiào Mu’s terminal, and immediately transferred 25 million star coins to him, “I have arranged for someone to pick the herbs, and I will bring it to you tomorrow morning.” He chuckled, “You have enough pills to exchange with the herbs?”

“Yes, I made more.”

Irwin smiled and pointed to his terminal, “Add my number since I will contact you frequently in the future.” Saying that, he sent a friend request to Xiào Mu.

Xiào Mu approved the application, and the next moment, a familiar mechanical sound came from his mind.

[Congratulations, host. You have reached 10 friends. Activating the permission for the creation of clan. Do you want to create a clan now?]

The notification stunned Xiào Mu. In the game, it is very simple to establish a clan. Players just need to reach 10 members within 3 days, otherwise, the clan will be disbanded. Unexpectedly, Xiào Mu could create a clan with 10 friends as well in this world. He didn’t know what’s the use in creating a clan here, but there are only good things in the system so he did not hesitate to choose ‘Yes’.

[It takes 30 star coins to create a clan, do you agree to continue?]

‘Yes’

The system panel suddenly disappeared, replaced by a three-dimensional view of a big house, almost exactly the same as the clan’s house in the game. [Congratulations on the establishment of the clan. Do you agree to use 20,000 star coins to starting the homeland?]

‘Yes’

[Congratulations to the host for starting the homeland. The homeland currently has a piece of land that can be used for planting after reclaiming. If you want to get more land, you must reclaim the land you already own first, and the purchase cost per piece of land is 20,000 star coins.]

As soon as the voice fell, a land overgrown with weeds appeared in a space that should be the vegetable field in the game. On the right side of the clan interface, there are 2 buttons, which is to enter the clan view and the other is to leave the clan view.

“Xiào Mu.”

A pain at his chin caused Xiào Mu to leave the clan interface. He saw Leo pinching his chin and asked him(XM) with a frown, “What’s wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

Xiào Mu recovered to his senses and shrank his head back. At the same time, Leo let go of the hand holding his chin. Xiào Mu glanced across his terminal and smiled awkwardly, “It’s the first time I see so much money, I just got too excited.”

“That’s not excitement, more like shocked witless,” Irwin teased, “I thought you got overjoyed from adding me as a friend!”

After Irwin finished speaking, he felt that the surrounding air instantly became cold, and he glanced away from Xiào Mu. As expected, he saw Leo looking at him coldly. Irwin looked back innocently, it’s not like he is going to snatch someone from Leo.

Xiào Mu put the matter about clan and homeland aside and reminded Irwin, “You should have seen the news about spiritual power breakthroughs. The spiritual power breakthrough is very painful. The more advanced is a sentinel’s level, the painful it is. Therefore, it is best to use this medicine only when one’s spiritual state is in a bad state.”

Irwin noted it down seriously and smiled, “I am not willing to give such precious medicine to others.” He stood up, “I’ll go oversee those little boys so they don’t make trouble during the lunch break. I’m going first.”

Leo also got up and said to Xiào Mu, “Take a good rest. If you want to go out, you must let Wood follow.”

Xiào Mu nodded. He is not planning to go out. Since he didn’t need to dig for medicinal herbs, he has nothing to do to go out. Moreover, all the army groups have arrived. He would definitely be stared at when he went out. When both men were out, Xiào Mu locked the door and sat on the sofa. He opened the system panel, switched to the clan interface, and then chose to enter the clan view. Suddenly, his vision changed, and the surrounding scenery is familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. He had seen it on the computer screen many times, but this time it is immersive. Not only that, Xiào Mu saw himself sitting on the sofa. He is leaning on the sofa and closing his eyes as if he is asleep. It’s as if he has an extra clone now, one in the real world and one in the clan territory.

Xiào Mu walked to the vegetable field area, and the only available piece of land is square. It’s much larger than he thought, about 100 square meters. Walking around the vegetable field, Xiào Mu saw various farm tools in the southeast corner. An idea flashed in his mind. This vegetable field can be used to grow herbs! Although the deal has been negotiated with Irwin, Planet Ba and Planet Yao are planets apart after all. What if there is an urgent need for medicinal herbs? By growing some on his own, he can collect it at any time and save money. Moreover, the raw materials for pills at Level 50 are not sold online. From this point of view, the more advanced medicines are more difficult to obtain in this world. If he plants it himself, Xiào Mu only needs to search for the herb once. Later, after he has the seeds, he can plant them directly on the vegetable field instead of buying them everywhere. He just doesn’t know if the environment of his homeland can grow these herbs or not.

Xiào Mu picked up the sickle and began to cut the weeds. Whether he could plant the herbs or not, he had to try first and plant Wolfberry leaf after preparing the land. After working for almost 4 hours before he finally cleared the ground, Xiào Mu rested against the shovel and panted. Then, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with one hand.

[Congratulations, host. The land has been successfully reclaimed. Do you use 20,000 star coins to buy the second land?]

Xiào Mu chose Yes. Suddenly, another piece of exact same land appeared beside the land he was on, except that there are overgrown weeds all over it. Just by looking at the second land, Xiào Mu felt his hands and feet turning sore. He put the shovel in the place for farm tools and decided to leave the interface first. He is too tired now and must take a rest. Looking at the button to leave the clan view, Xiào Mu’s eyes suddenly stopped. Not sure when it appeared but there are 2 more buttons on the right side of the clan panel; sowing and harvesting.

Xiào Mu tried to choose sowing, and after a while, a line of prompt is displayed next to the sowing button: [Insufficient seeds, 22% of the land occupied.] Xiào Mu immediately looked at the ground and saw that in about one-fifth of the land close to him, the large clods that he had turned out with a shovel before are looking neat and nicely tilled at this time. It looked exactly the same as those sown land he had done before in the countryside.

Xiào Mu is at a loss, what is this sown inside? He hasn’t prepared any seeds yet!

Digging out the seed in the corner, Xiào Mu held it in his hand and stared at it for a while. He is quite familiar with it as he had seen it on the Wolfberry leaf before. A thought turned in his mind and Xiào Mu looked at the system backpack. The remaining Wolfberry leaf is still stored in the grid. He took 1 out and found that there is a broken mark on the top. After thinking about it, it seemed to be the fruit growing on top. Xiào Mu is startled by his finding and then laughed. Farming with the system is really convenient, it’s just that the reclaiming part is a bit tiring, but this is much better than actual farming.

Xiào Mu left the clan view thinking that the sky should be getting dark by now, but he didn’t expect the light outside to be still bright. Checking the time, Xiào Mu realized that though he had stayed in the clan for more than 4 hours, it is only more than 4 minutes in reality. If it weren’t for aches and fatigue all over his body, Xiào Mu would almost suspect that he had only dreamt of farming.

Not only he is tired, but he is also sweating. Xiào Mu quickly took a shower and changed clean clothes, and felt much more comfortable. Just as he came out of the bathroom, he suddenly heard crying from outside the door. Xiào Mu is hesitant whether to look at it when the doorbell rang. Wood stood outside the door helplessly, and beside him is Greene who is crying with red eyes. Greene’s appearance is in a pitiful state, his pants are stained with mud, and his face looked flushed as if he had been exposed to the sun. His arms under his short sleeves are in the same state, and he has some peeling skin.

Xiào Mu asked in surprise, “What’s wrong?”

Wood pointed to Greene as he explained, “He went out without an umbrella and got sunburned. He rushed back to get one and fell down on the way. But he didn’t have a change of clothes and he couldn’t wear our clothes. Can you lend him a set of clothes?”

“Wait for a moment, I’ll get it.” Xiào Mu went back to the room and took a white shirt and black trousers. Greene looked at him embarrassedly, and he smiled at Greene, “I wore your clothes before this so consider us even.”

Greene looked at Xiào Mu in surprise, and Xiào Mu simply explained, “Your father mistook me for you and let me stay in your apartment previously.”

Hearing that, Greene finally understood. He took the clothes and thanked Xiào Mu, leaving with a sad feeling in his eyes. When Major General Leo saw him, he recognized right away that he is not Xiào Mu, but his father did not recognize him.

Wood saw that Xiào Mu’s hair is slightly wet. Thinking that Xiào Mu is going to rest now, he doesn’t want to continue bothering him, but said, “Please let me know when you want to go out.”

Xiào Mu nodded and closed the door. He looked at the umbrella leaning next to the door and thought of the skin on Greene’s face and arms. It turned out that Leo and Wood didn’t exaggerate their concern at all.

Xiào Mu got up very early the next day. As soon as he went out, the door next door opened. Leo is dressed in a stiff black military uniform. The military cap concealed his sharp eyebrows, leaving only a hard jaw and thin lips. His whole figure resembled a sharp-edged sword; sharp and cold. Xiào Mu stopped subconsciously, but when Leo walked to him, as if the cold winter had turned into warm spring, the cold air all over Leo’s body had dissipated.

Leo raised his hand and tuck a bunch of hair that fell on the side of Xiào Mu’s face behind his ears, and naturally retracted his hand, “Let’s go to eat breakfast together. Then we will leave for Planet Yao later.”

Xiào Mu is startled by Leo’s action, feeling a little strange in his heart. However, seeing Leo’s serious appearance, Xiào Mu felt that he is just thinking too much. The two went to the cafeteria together. There is no one in the canteen now, and there are chants from the training ground. Obviously, the sentinels of the special training team are training in the morning.

Chapter 43 Part 2 Clan

After breakfast, Xiào Mu returned to the dormitory. From a distance, he saw Irwin commanding a few soldiers and directing them to put Wolfberry leaf to the door of his room. After a while, the empty space in front of the dormitory is full of Wolfberry leaves. When Xiào Mu approached, he couldn’t help but wondered out loud, “You couldn’t be digging up all the Wolfberry leaf?”

“Of course not. I know sustainable development,” Irwin smiled and narrowed his eyes. “It’s a total of 200 catties1, you don’t want it?”

“No, I want it. I don’t mind excess at all,” Xiào Mu smiled and asked, “You have any more porcelain bottles? I don’t have a container to put your pills in.”

Irwin handed Xiào Mu a wooden box. Xiào Mu asked him to enter his room and Leo followed closely behind. Xiào Mu counted 200 intermediate low-grade healing pill pills in front of the two and packed them into the wooden box.

Irwin’s eyes glowed as he watched Xiào Mu counted the pills, “How many more do you have? Why don’t you just sell more to me?”

Amused, Xiào Mu asked, “The medicine on your hand is still not used yet. Why do you want so much?”

Irwin chuckled, “Ain’t I just preparing just in case? This group of soldiers have just started training and doesn’t need the pills yet. But after more than half a month, the demand will increase.”

“At that time, please contact me in advance to inform the amount you needed. I will try to prepare for you.” Xiào Mu said.

Hearing what Xiào Mu said, Irwin stopped with the topic and asked Leo, “When are you guys leaving? I will send you off.”

“You don’t need to send us,” Leo looked disgusted by Irwin. He just wanted him to not show up in front of Xiào Mu again. Leo glanced at the time and said, “We will leave in half an hour.”

Xiào Mu went outside and stored all the Wolfberry leaf in the system backpack. Fortunately, the system backpack doesn’t count the volume that occupies a grid. Every 100 catties2 occupies a grid, he can store them without any problem.

Taking the starship again, Xiào Mu is not as excited as before. Leo sat on the sofa to deal with business affairs. Having nothing to do, Xiào Mu leaned on the sofa and went into his clan homeland to reclaim the land. He arrived in front of the cultivated land #1 and is shocked. The Wolfberry leaf planted yesterday has matured, so Xiào Mu pressed the harvest button. At the next moment, a prompt is displayed next to the harvest button: [30 catties3 of Wolfberry leaf are harvested, and 5 catties of Wolfberry leaf seeds is received.]

At the same time, the Wolfberry leaf seeds occupied a grid in the system backpack, while the 30 catties of Wolfberry leaf are mixed with the ones from Irwin. The corners of Xiào Mu’s mouth could not be restrained from curving up, he would not have to worry about lacking Wolfberry leaf at all in the future. Xiào Mu pressed the button to sow, and land #1 immediately is filled with Wolfberry leaf’s seed. He picked up the sickle and started to cut the weeds on land #2. Since he has already gotten a harvest, Xiào Mu is very motivated to reclaim the land this time. In fact, thinking about the time difference between clan homeland and reality, the speed of Wolfberry leaf production is not that surprising.

“Xiào Mu!”

Xiào Mu has just cut half of the weeds when he heard Leo’s voice. He immediately threw down the sickle and left the clan view. As soon as he opened his eyes, Xiào Mu saw Leo patting his face and looking at him worriedly. Leo brushed his forehead with his fingers and asked, “You had a nightmare? You are sweating a lot.”

Xiào Mu wiped his forehead with his backhand and smiled dryly, “I’m okay.” He glanced outside, “Are we there yet?”

“En, the space jump is about to happen soon,” Leo looked at Xiào Mu worriedly, “Are you uncomfortable? People usually won’t sweat so much in their dreams.”

“No, I’m fine.” Xiào Mu said immediately. In his heart, Xiào Mu is thinking that he must not go to his clan homeland in the future when other people are around.

Leo frowned but looked at Xiào Mu’s expression, he can see that his expression is natural and doesn’t look uncomfortable. So, Leo is slightly relieved. He carried Xiào Mu to the side seat and helped him put on the seatbelt.

Xiào Mu didn’t even have time to struggle. He wanted to say something, but the starship shook violently. Almost biting his tongue, Xiào Mu shut his mouth tightly. 5 or 6 minutes later, the starship returned to stability. Xiào Mu felt like his stomach was shaken uncomfortably, and a cup of warm water is handed to his hand.

Leo: “Drink some warm water, it will be more comfortable.”

“Thank you.” Xiào Mu took a few sips and felt much better.

Leo unlocked Xiào Mu’s seatbelt, and Xiào Mu quickly got up to the sofa by himself. If he is any slower, Leo might carry him again. He pondered for a moment and then said, “Major General Leo, my physical strength is much better than before. You don’t have to be so careful with me.” He smiled and added, “My identity as a guide doesn’t change anything. I’m still me. I’m… not used to you being so polite.”

Xiào Mu’s black eyes are clear and charming, making it easy for people to see his thoughts clearly. Because of this, Leo’s expression is getting more and more ugly, as he stared straight at him. Xiào Mu is stunned by the expression and became nervous inexplicably. He thought back to what he said just now… he was very polite and didn’t say anything that would offend Leo!

Leo stepped up to him and bent over. His gaze moved inch by inch from under Xiào Mu’s forehead to his chin and finally returned to his eyes. The distance between them is very close. All Xiào Mu could smell is Leo’s scent; strong and domineering. His heart tightened and he slowly leaned back, “What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?”

Leo pinched Xiào Mu’s chin and his eyes narrowed slightly. His voice is deep as he asked, “You said that I don’t need to be so careful?”

Leo didn’t use any force, and Xiào Mu didn’t feel any pain, but he immediately became alert when he heard Leo’s words. Xiào Mu has a feeling that if he nodded his head, his jaw would be crushed in the next moment.

“No no no, it’s better to be careful. Although my strength is better than before, I’m still far behind a Level S sentinel’s strength.” Xiào Mu said cautiously. That’s why, please don’t use force!

Leo frowned, “Afraid of me?”

“Not afraid.”

A smile flashed in Leo’s eyes, and he said thoughtfully, “You are right, maybe I don’t have to be so polite.”

If Xiào Mu could, he would swallow all his previous words into his mouth. He tilted his head to free his chin from Leo’s hand, “I think basic etiquette is still needed. So, you acting like this…” He raised his hand to pinch Leo’s chin, “This kind of action is impolite.”

The action caused Leo’s eyes to deepen suddenly. Leo even lowered his head to rest his chin on Xiào Mu’s hand, “I don’t mind you being impolite to me at all.”

Xiào Mu blinked and swiftly let go. His ears have turned red from the blush. He must have been blinded by a ghost. How dare he try to explain to Leo with practical actions that pinching someone’s chin is impolite?! However, Leo’s reaction is really unexpected. Shouldn’t he snort at him with a ‘You have guts!’?

Staring at Xiào Mu’s red ears, Leo realized that he bought Lyle’s words of nonsense4. His brain must be malfunctioning. Leo reached out and touched Xiào Mu’s earlobe, “Your ears are red.”

Jumping away in a shock, Xiào Mu’s entire face turned red now. He slapped Leo’s hand away, and said while trying to calm down, “I’m blushing because I am trying my best to control the spiritual filaments. We’d better keep our distance.”

Leo went silent for a moment and took a step back. He couldn’t be impatient. Xiao Mu obviously didn’t like him now, so he should keep it in moderation so as not to disgust him. The fact that Xiào Mu didn’t like him made him feel frustrated, and at the same time, he is a little delighted. Xiào Mu is different from other people. Many people in the empire like him, and most of them have not even seen him in person. He once thought that being liked is a cheap and common occurrence. Leo received a lot of love letters when he was young. Out of curiosity, he opened some to read before, and the content all mentioned how they admired him this and that. Leo just thought it is ridiculous. These people only heard about his family background, saw his photos, and knew that he is a Level SS sentinel. Besides that, they know nothing about him or got along with him before. To mention that they liked him so deeply? Leo dismissed all of it.

Xiào Mu didn’t like him because of these. If Xiào Mu liked him, it would only be because of his person alone. Thinking of this, Leo’s heart felt hot and his eyes showed a strong desire. Longing for Xiào Mu’s liking, and also longing for Xiào Mu’s person, all of him.

Xiào Mu breathed a sigh of relief because Leo backed away, but got flustered by his hot gaze instead. He took out an intermediate low-grade healing pill and asked, “You want this, it is? Just tell me if you want it. You looking at me like this is making me flustered.”

Leo took a deep look at Xiào Mu. Concealing the emotions under his eyes, he sat down beside Xiào Mu, “Why are you getting flustered? It’s not like I’m going to eat you.”

Xiào Mu thought to himself, the look in Leo’s eyes just now really seemed like he wants to eat him. He explained, “You may not know it yourself, probably you soldiers have been on the battlefield and have a strong aura. That why when you stare at people, it’s very deterrent.” Xiào Mu smiled when he saw Leo returning to normal.

Leo said, “I won’t hurt you. Never be afraid of me.” He looked at the pill in Xiào Mu’s hand and said, “I won’t take it now. I will give you the medicine purchase list after the spiritual power measuring instrument has been studied successfully and we tested the specific values of our soldiers’ spiritual power.”

Xiào Mu thinks that Leo has thought things over comprehensively, but he reluctantly said, “You have so many soldiers so the pills are probably not enough.”

“It’s okay,” Leo said, “Your pills are only for emergency use. For the usual matter, we can still use the guide pheromone agent. I will try my best to control the consumption.”

Xiào Mu nodded, “Okay, and I will try my best to prepare more.”

The starship returned to Area A smoothly. Leo has only walked out of the starship when he received Ren’s message. Then, his slightly relaxed expression instantly went cold. Xiào Mu looked at him, and Leo explained coldly, “Kain has been in court for the past 2 days. He refused to admit that his adopted son is his biological son, nor did he admit that he had a union with another guide before his marriage.” As he said, his eyes flashed coldly, “He also said that you are his adopted son. And by doing a genetic comparison with him, people will know that you are not his biological son.”

Hearing that, Xiào Mu becomes speechless, “He really… won’t give up until the last moment, huh? Well, he is not very lucky. He will never think that we will bring Greene back when we go to Planet Ba this time.”

Leo turned around and saw Greene whose eyes are still red. Then he said to Wood, “Bring him with us,” and then to the guard who came to get Xiào Mu, “Protect him well.”

The 4 guards saluted, “Yes.”

Leo looked at Xiào Mu and said, “Go back to rest first, I’ll go to the court.”

Xiào Mu knew Leo is going to deal with Kain’s affairs, and nodded, “Okay.”

Next, Xiào Mu is escorted to the aircraft by the 4 guards. Leo watched Xiào Mu’s aircraft take off before walking to his aircraft. Wood followed closely behind with Greene.

Less than a minute after Xiào Mu’s aircraft started, Xiào Mu received a call from Zhao Sheng. Zhao Sheng’s voice is filled with excitement, “The measuring instrument is successful. When will it be convenient for you to help adjust the value?”

Xiào Mu glanced at the time and saw that it’s only 2.00 pm right now. So he replied, “I have time now. Should I go to the Zhao’s company?”

“Yes, on the 26th floor,” Zhao Sheng sounded a little worried and he added, “I will pick you up at the back door, please pay attention to safety.”
