Victor copied all the Chinese medicines previously written in his own notebook into Great-Aunt's notebook.
Their effects appeared more intuitively before Victor's eyes.
[Breeding House · Cold Medicine: Chinese medicine concocted by Gothita when Victor was sick. It has an outstanding effect on treating fever. if utilizing the more potent Chinese herbal medicines from the Breeding House, the effect will continue to improve. At the same time, only a small amount is needed.]
Victor looked at the introduction in the text: Only a small amount is needed.
He recalled Gothita throwing Chinese herbs into the pot like they were free that day. Turns out that was a dose for Lugia?!
Victor looked at Gothita. Gothita turned her head away guiltily, avoiding looking at Victor.
[Breeding House · Stomach Disease Medicine: Chinese medicine concocted by Victor based on book records. It is very effective for treating stomach diseases, but needs to be taken for a long time.]
[Breeding House · Nourishing Medicine: Chinese medicine concocted by Victor based on book records. It can nourish the body. For those with weaker constitutions, it can make their bodies stronger over time. The target audience leans more towards the elderly and women. It also needs to be taken for a long time.]

[Friendly reminder: all medicine is thirty percent poison — Great-Aunt]
After carefully reading the text introductions, Victor felt very confident.
Without the detailed introductions, Victor would still be unsure, but now that there were such detailed descriptions, it meant the Chinese medicine could be sold.
Glancing at the notebook and the Chinese medicines he recorded in it, Victor personally taught Gengar, Lilligant, Mime Jr., and Gothita one more time.
Surprisingly, Gothita was unexpectedly interested in doing this.
Busy until noon, Victor handed this Chinese medicine book, which could be called Victor's own, to Gengar and told him to put it away safely.
Gengar took the book, intending to put it next to Great-Aunt's recipe book and item list, but when he saw Gothita's gaze, he grinned.
He handed it to Gothita.
"Geng~"
You put it away.
Gothita happily took the book, then carefully placed it next to the recipe book and item list, gently wiping the covers of the three books with her hand.
Seeing this scene, Victor couldn't help but smile.
Worthy of being the Breeding House's Big Boss.
After having lunch together, Victor returned to the rest area, lay down, and continued reading books about Chinese medicine.
Today after lunch, Shana didn't run to the backyard to play. Instead, she followed Victor, lay on the chair next to him, and yawned.
Victor told her a story while reading his book.
Not long after, several snoring sounds came from beside him.
Victor looked over; Gengar and Machamp were sleeping soundly, drool even dripping down.
Gently covering Shana with a small blanket, Victor closed his book and gave Lilligant a look that said, "I leave it to you."
With Lilligant nodding in acknowledgment, he also closed his eyes.
Slowly, he drifted off to sleep.
In a daze, Victor heard his phone ringing.
"Lil?"
And Lilligant's confused voice.
Lilligant looked at Nurse Joy on the screen opposite and asked in confusion.
She heard Victor's phone ringing, but Victor was still sleeping. Afraid the ringtone would wake him, she quickly ran over and answered the call.
"Is that Sister Lilligant? Hmm? Is he not there?"
Nurse Joy on the screen seemed anxious.
Seeing Nurse Joy's anxious look, Lilligant prepared to wake Victor.
The next second, a hand reached over and took the phone.
"What's wrong? Sister Water."
"Victor, we have a Bibarel here that suddenly developed a high fever. I wanted to ask if you have any way to help bring its fever down? The Chinese medicine you sent over last time seemed to have some effect."
Victor was listening groggily at first, but woke up instantly at the end.
"I'll come over to your place now."
Victor said, preparing to get up.
"No, no, no, don't come over here for now. How about this: I'll bring a few people and bring Bibarel over to find you guys."
Victor nodded, and the other side hung up immediately.
Victor found Gothita and asked her to brew some cold medicine.
Soon, the sound of a vehicle came from outside.
Nurse Joy, accompanied by Blissey, carried a Bibarel down. Bibarel's condition was visibly poor.
Victor hurried forward and placed his hand gently on Bibarel's head.
"So hot?"
Victor frowned.
Nurse Joy nodded, looking at Bibarel with concern.
Bibarel was burning up so badly it was hallucinating, constantly humming and moaning, trying to stand up and walk forward.
"Gothita, increase the dosage."
For a normal cold and fever, a small amount would suffice, but Bibarel's condition was clearly not a normal fever.
It had exceeded the norm, so he just added more medicine directly.
"Goth."
Gothita's voice came from the kitchen.
Nurse Joy kept holding Bibarel, comforting it gently.
Nurse Joy, wearing a mask, had red eyes.
Victor looked at Nurse Joy for a while, then suddenly reached out and touched her forehead.
"Hiss—"
Victor pulled back, inhaling sharply.
"Sister, you have a fever too!"
Hearing this, Gengar flew straight to the kitchen and told Gothita inside.
Joy's eyes were a bit glazed, and she coughed twice.
"Machamp, carry Shana back to her room."
Nurse Joy said.
Machamp nodded, then carefully picked up the sleeping Shana and walked upstairs.
Soon, Gothita walked out with two bowls of cold medicine, and Gengar brought a few bowls as well.
Victor took Bibarel. Seeing Nurse Joy's look of wanting to stop him, he said:
"It's fine. The Chinese medicine I concocted today is very effective for fevers. You and Blissey should drink a bowl too."
Then he took the bowl from Gothita's hand and, with Gothita's help, used a spoon to slowly feed the Chinese medicine to Bibarel.
Nurse Joy took the cold medicine Gengar handed over, blew on it, and then drank it with a frown.
After Blissey finished drinking, she took a bowl of medicine out for the driver to drink as well.
After drinking the cold medicine, Joy felt a bit dizzy.
Victor reached out and touched her forehead; the fever had gone down.
Bibarel in his arms also quieted down and fell into a deep sleep.
Taking the thermometer Gengar handed over, he checked their temperatures one by one.
Victor let out a breath.
"The fever has gone down."
Nurse Joy forced herself to stay awake and took Bibarel back.
"That's really great. Thanks to you this time, Victor."
"Did something happen?"
Victor was puzzled and asked.
Nurse Joy looked at Victor. Although she was wearing a mask, Victor could still tell she was smiling.
Because Nurse Joy's eyes curved into crescents.
"It's nothing. We've probably entered late autumn recently, so the number of people and Pokémon with colds and fevers has increased. The Pokémon Center ran out of medicine, but we've already reported it to the higher-ups. Medicine will be delivered soon."
Hearing this, Victor finally relaxed.
"Don't worry, it's okay."
"Happi~"
Nurse Joy comforted Victor.
Victor nodded and walked Nurse Joy to the door.
Just as Nurse Joy got into the car, she suddenly heard Victor's voice.
"Sister Water, if there's any situation, you must tell me immediately. After all, we are family."
Nurse Joy paused, then smiled gently.
"Okay."
