Luo Bi had just arrived at the Wu Family Pharmacy, 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 pharmacy selecting medicinal plants.
Manager Wu Yue was introducing the medicinal plants to the customers. Wu Yue was a direct descendant of the Wu family. Although he looked like a young man, he was actually over forty years old. In the interstellar 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 and responded, then went to the back workshop.
"You're finally here." Luo Bi's only colleague, Jiang Zhu, sighed in relief when she saw Luo Bi. 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 spirit plants and chatted with Jiang Zhu as she worked. Luo Bi was not under strict supervision, and Jiang Zhu was Manager Wu Yue's cousin. The workshop was essentially their domain, and as long as they didn't delay their work, they could chat freely.
"How is Hua Ran's manic disorder? Are you really going to use your saved interstellar 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. He was a congenital lightning warrior and served in the military. A month ago, he was injured on a mission, and his strong genes were damaged, causing his manic disorder to flare up, and he was sent back home.
Treating manic disorder required spirit medicines. Although Hua Ran's Third Legion provided some spirit medicines, their prices were extremely high, and Luo Bi's family could not afford to pay for Hua Ran's long-term use of spirit medicines. In no time, the family's savings were depleted.
Seeing that Hua Ran's manic 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 the memories of her previous life. She had a habit of wanting to hear others' opinions on everything, whether or not she would adopt them. She particularly 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 interstellar coins to buy spirit medicines for Hua Ran, but don't use all of them. Your family will have a lot of 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. "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 noticed the completed spirit plant on the workbench in front of Luo Bi. She realized that her own speed had unconsciously slowed down and immediately sped up: "That's called being loyal and righteous."
Jiang Zhu was smooth and always said what people wanted to hear, 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.
