Luo Bi had just arrived at the Wu Family Apothecary, parked her hovercar, and entered through the front door with her key. She was late again, and there were already a few customers in the apothecary selecting medicinal plants.
Manager Wu Yue was introducing the medicinal plants to the customers. Wu Yue was a direct descendant of the Wu family, appearing to be a young man, but he was actually over forty years old. In the galactic era, where the average human lifespan was 300 years, forty was still considered young.
Wu Yue looked up and saw that Luo Bi had finally arrived. He said, "Go to the back quickly. A lot of medicinal plants were delivered this morning, including a few low-grade spirit plants. Be careful when sorting and processing them."
The customers turned to look at Luo Bi, but she pretended not to notice, responded, and went to the back workshop.
"You're finally here." Luo Bi's only colleague, Jiang Zhu, sighed in relief upon seeing her. Her skills and speed were not as good as Luo Bi's, so the processing of the medicinal plants in the workshop mainly relied on Luo Bi, especially for spirit plants. After being handled by Luo Bi's small hands, the spirit energy loss was minimal.
Luo Bi immediately started processing the few spirit plants, and her mouth didn't stop as she chatted with Jiang Zhu. Luo Bi was not bound by rules, and Jiang Zhu was Manager Wu Yue's cousin. The workshop was their domain, and as long as they didn't delay work, they could chat freely.
"How is Hua Ran's manic disorder? Are you really going to use your saved galactic coins to buy him some calming powder?" Jiang Zhu suddenly remembered and asked. Hua Ran was Luo Bi's stepbrother, who had moved to the Luo family with his mother after her remarriage. He was a strong gene lightning warrior serving in the military. A month ago, he was injured on a mission, and his strong genes were damaged, so he was sent back home.
Treating strong gene damage required spirit medicine. Although the Third Legion, where Hua Ran served, provided some spirit medicine, the price of spirit medicine was extremely high, and Luo Bi's family could not afford to support Hua Ran's long-term use of it. In no time, their family savings were depleted.
Seeing that Hua Ran's strong gene disorder was getting out of control, Luo Bi had a sudden idea and had been thinking about using her private savings, constantly talking about it with Jiang Zhu.
"I don't know. Do you think I should take it out?" Luo Bi frowned, having been conflicted about this for several days.
Luo Bi was a reincarnated soul, not a spirit that had taken over someone else's body, but rather a soul that had been reborn with memories from her previous life. She had a habit of wanting to hear others' opinions on everything, whether or not she would adopt them. She especially wanted to hear others' opinions on whether to use her private savings.
"It depends on how you feel. If you really can't bear to see him suffer, you can take out some galactic coins to buy him spirit medicine, but don't use all of it. Your family will have many expenses in the future." Jiang Zhu, being older than Luo Bi, thought more long-term.
Luo Bi quickly finished processing a second-grade spirit plant and thought for a moment before saying, "Hua Ran is my stepmother's child, not my real brother. I'm just worried that if I use my private savings, others will think I'm foolish."
"Oh! You've already finished processing a spirit plant?" Jiang Zhu only noticed the completed spirit plant on Luo Bi's workbench now. Realizing that her own speed had slowed down, she immediately sped up: "That's called having principles and righteousness."
Jiang Zhu was smooth and always said what sounded good, but it didn't work with Luo Bi.
"Speak plainly." Luo Bi immediately shot back, completely dismissing Jiang Zhu's flattery.
Luo Bi sincerely sought advice and did not tolerate empty words.
