Chapter 37

In the People's Hospital,

a girl sat on the hospital bed. She had a pair of bright, sparkling eyes, clear and pure like the stars. No one knew what she was thinking, but she suddenly smiled at Su Zhe. Her big, watery eyes curved like a crescent moon, and a faint dimple appeared at the corner of her small mouth, sweet and charming, as if the vitality was overflowing. Her every frown and smile naturally revealed a simple and adorable demeanor, leaving people in awe of her elegant and refined aura.

This girl was An Xuan, An Xin's younger sister, who was her only companion in life. Unfortunately, this beautiful girl, who should have been carefree at her age, was diagnosed with leukemia. Her once flawless, fair skin now appeared extremely unhealthy and pale, and her lips were devoid of color, causing Su Zhe to feel a slight pang of pain.

However, An Xuan was extremely optimistic and never mentioned her illness. She constantly asked An Xin to tell her stories about her life outside. The look in her eyes when she gazed at Su Zhe seemed to carry some unusual meaning, as if she knew something.

When An Xin left the ward with the water pot to fill it in the tea room, An Xuan quietly moved closer to Su Zhe and whispered, "Brother, is this little girl your daughter?" An Xuan's voice was very soft, unsure if she was afraid of waking the baby sleeping in Su Zhe's arms or of being overheard by An Xin. If not listened to carefully, Su Zhe might not have heard her clearly.

"Baby is my sister," Su Zhe replied with a wry smile, wondering why she thought Baby was his daughter.

"Oh, that's good. How long have you and my sister been together?" An Xuan seemed much more relaxed after hearing this and began to show a curious expression.

"We've been together for a month," Su Zhe said instinctively, but then realized it sounded wrong and quickly explained, "We're not what you think. We're just..."

Unfortunately, An Xuan, having gotten her answer, sat up straight and no longer listened to Su Zhe's explanation.

"What were you talking about? It seemed like you were having a good chat." It was An Xin who had returned, which was why An Xuan quickly changed her attitude.

"Su Zhe, Baby is already asleep. Take Baby back to rest first, and I'll come back tomorrow," An Xin said.

"Alright, we'll go first. Take care of yourselves, and call me if anything happens," Su Zhe nodded and then said to An Xuan, "Xuan, I'll come see you again tomorrow. Goodbye."

"Brother, goodbye." An Xuan had a knowing look, and Su Zhe shook his head with a wry smile, not bothering to explain further, as it would only make things more confusing.

Su Zhe took Baby home. When Baby first came to the hospital with Su Zhe and An Xin, she had said she wanted to be friends with An Xuan, but she fell asleep in Su Zhe's arms before they even reached the hospital, so An Xuan did see her.

After getting home, Su Zhe put Baby to bed and then went to his own room.

Lying in bed, he began to think about his future plans. Although he now had a relatively stable source of points from the Su Pet Home, the points he could earn daily were still too few. After so many days, Su Zhe's points had barely exceeded 1,500.

It seemed like a lot, but it wasn't enough to exchange for many pets. For example, an adult golden retriever required 100 points, and a puppy required 20 points. At this rate, it would take an unknown amount of time to achieve his goal.

To accelerate his development, he needed money. Although the Su Pet Home was profitable, it was just a drop in the bucket compared to his goal. Therefore, the Su Pet Home must start selling pets as soon as possible, which would be truly lucrative for Su Zhe.

Moreover, he couldn't keep going to the Su Pet Home to secretly use divine power to heal the pets. If he continued, he would eventually be discovered. He decided to mix water with divine power, like growing ginseng, and use it to treat animals, claiming it was a new medicinal solution. This way, he could still earn points.

He also needed to find a time to take some of the ginseng he had planted to be tested, to see if there were any differences between ginseng grown with divine power and ordinary ginseng. If there were significant profits to be made, he could focus on cultivating it.

Additionally, he needed to find a way to help An Xin and An Xuan, as their lives had been very hard. If possible, he would use divine power to treat An Xuan to see if it worked, to reduce her suffering from treatment.

As he thought, Su Zhe fell asleep.

The next day, when Su Zhe woke up, An Xin was already there, having prepared breakfast.

After eating breakfast, Su Zhe went to the backyard alone.

The backyard was usually deserted, and only Su Zhe came here daily to water the ginseng. Since the last time, the ginseng had been replanted and reorganized, with each plant given plenty of space.

Su Zhe also selected 10 of the best-growing ginseng plants and cultivated them separately. For the other 100+ plants, he used 60 points of divine power mixed with water daily. The 10 selected plants received an additional 20 points of divine power, growing several times faster than the others.

Su Zhe casually dug up two ginseng plants, shook off the dirt, and wrapped them in paper.

With the ginseng in hand, he said goodbye to An Xin and Baby and left.

He got into his car and remembered Liu Ge, whom he had met at the Douyu Club, who seemed to be in the herbal medicine business and had a large traditional Chinese medicine store in Yan Yun City.

Su Zhe found Liu Ge's business card and had the driver take him to the address.

He was just going to have the ginseng tested, not to make a deal, so he didn't want to trouble Liu Ge. If he planned to sell ginseng and other herbs in the future, he could collaborate with Liu Ge, as his status outside was evident from the flattery he received at the Douyu Club.

Moreover, Liu Ge had called a few days ago, telling him that the Douyu Club was holding another Fish King Competition and asking if he was interested in participating. If he had time, Su Zhe would definitely go to watch, and if there was an opportunity, he would participate. He still remembered the benefits of the last Fish King Competition.

The car quickly arrived at Su Zhe's destination, and Liu Ge's herbal medicine store was indeed quite large. The driver mentioned that the Liu Family Pharmacy was a century-old brand with many branches nationwide, and the Yan Yun City branch was the Liu family's base of operations.

Su Zhe, holding the two ginseng plants wrapped in paper, entered the century-old brand.
