Chapter 40 Two Refining Methods
I glanced at the time; it was still early.
She had only intended to have a simple bowl of instant noodles, but unexpectedly, Chu Xuange sent her lunch.
A bowl of seafood congee, mint beef, and a bowl of mango shaved ice.
[Princess Ningning]: Princess, please have dinner.
[Princess Ningning]: I have to go to school a little later today, don't worry, baby.
[Drip-Drip-Drip]: I want to eat ice cream, and I got the weapon forged by Galah.
Chu Xuange gave her ice cream and transferred money to her.
"Player [Princess Ningning] has transferred 2251 gold coins to you."
[Princess Ningning]: There are still four ice creams left. I'll check when I come across a delivery station. Remember to order some, baby.
Pei Hening took out the sky-blue VIP card with ice cream printed on it, looked at it from all angles, and tried to figure out how to order ice cream.
The next second, the ice cream shop membership card in her hand was integrated into the panel, and she gained a new [Member Exclusive] chat channel.
There is only one friend in this chat channel: [Highway Ice Cream Shop].
Congratulations to player [滴比滴比] for obtaining the title "I also have this membership"!
"I have this membership too": Queuing? I'm a member, why should I queue! After wearing this title, you will enjoy a 20% discount on transactions (if you have a membership card discount, it will be calculated as: original price × membership card discount × 0.8). Every purchase will refresh the product list*1, allowing you to buy items that are not yet available.
She clicked into the chat box of [Highway Ice Cream Shop], communicated with customer service to order 400 ice creams, paid for the ice cream and delivery fee, and then exited.
She drove a short distance further to collect the boxes.
As Pei Hening prepared to navigate to school, a small mechanical hand rose from under the car window and gently tapped on it.
She rolled down the car window and saw the robot standing next to the car.
The robot has a round head and one hand is pulling on a rope tied to a loading cart, on which is placed a large temporary insulated box.
After meeting Pei Hening's gaze, a "^_^" emoticon appeared on the screen, and it said, "Hello customer, your ice cream is delivered."
Pei Hening accepted the ice cream and gave two copper coins as a tip.
The robot looked at the two copper coins on its robotic arm, and the brightness of its display screen increased significantly.
It asked, "Guest, is this for me? Just for me?"
Pei Hening nodded: "Yes."
Since her car couldn't fit a refrigerator, she had to give all the ice cream to Chu Xuange.
She navigated to the school.

Pei Hening handed the basic fatigue-relieving potion he had made to Xixia.
Sicily glanced at it briefly, then frowned: "Barely acceptable."
She thought for a moment and took out another advanced notebook: "Take a look at this one when you have time. The fatigue relief potion you made has too many impurities and its efficacy is not very good."
After Pei Hening put away her notes, Xixia arranged another lesson for her today—to kill three low-level silkworm monsters.
Having learned from yesterday's experience, she finally managed to kill the three silkworm monsters before the end of get out of class, but she was just as disheveled as she had been yesterday.
When she came down from the arena, [See Spring] had just been used, and during the cooldown period, her mana was only 43, and it would take time to recover.
Sicily put down the doll in her hand and said, "Come here, I'll show you how to make a basic fatigue-relieving potion."
Pei Hening's eyes lit up, and she quickly walked to her side.
The potions refined in West Asia are quite different from those refined by Chu Xuange.
When brewing potions, Westerners are not stingy with the consumption of materials, as long as the potion they brew is perfect.
Chu Xuange's refining method was rather stingy. He tried to make the most of every ingredient and minimize waste, so the quality of his finished potions varied.
Pei Hening quickly took out her notebook and jotted down the points that Xixia had casually mentioned during her demonstration.
——
After class, she took her notebook and headed to the parking lot.
As soon as she walked over, she saw the luxury RV parked next to her car. It was Chu Xuange's car; he was still at school.
Pei Hening drove away from the school and had just driven onto the highway when she heard a voice say, "Hello, please stop and cooperate with the inspection."
Pei Hening looked up and saw that it was... well, you know.
Officer Fatty Snake.
She stopped the car, rolled down the window, took out her driver's license, and handed it over.
When Fatty Snake recognized Pei Hening, his eyes lit up: "It's you! You got a new car? This car is so cool!"
"Is my driver's license okay?"
Pei Hening raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile.
Fatty Snake nodded and shoved her driver's license back in: "No problem!"
Fatty Snake reminded him, "Drive safely and don't go too fast."
As they were talking, a parallel road suddenly appeared.
Fatty Snake asked the player on another road to stop and check. The other player saw it like a mouse seeing a cat, not only did not stop, but even accelerated and rushed over!
Upon seeing this, Fatty Snake straightened its chubby body and quickly gave chase.
Pei Hening watched helplessly as the chubby snake transformed from a small green snake into a giant green python, and in the blink of an eye, they were gone!
However, given Snake Fatty's speed, catching up with that player would be a piece of cake!
After she came to her senses, she continued driving and picking up boxes. As she picked them up, she realized something was wrong. There seemed to be more boxes than usual, and she even found a bronze box.
She was about to ask her encyclopedia—Chu Xuange—when she suddenly remembered that this should be a professional bonus for race car drivers!
At six o'clock sharp, she received a call from Chu Xuange.
"Look, I've already found the bronze chest!"
Chu Xuange laughed and said, "You must have driven a long way today."
Pei Hening said confidently, "I think I might be able to get first place on the mileage leaderboard when this map ends."
"Okay, our number one female fan!"
Hearing his drawn-out tone, Pei Hening glared at him with displeasure: "You're still teasing me!"
She sent Chu Xuange the notes she had taken in class today: "Gege, could you help me catch up on my notes when you have time?"
She had privately compared the refining techniques of Xixia and Chu Xuange, and she liked both of them. Xixia's refining technique was suitable for exams and when materials were plentiful, while Chu Xuange's refining technique was also very special, and she wanted to learn it well.
Chu Xuange opened her notebook, read through the refining techniques she had written down, and raised an eyebrow slightly: "Did your teacher teach you this?"
Pei Hening: "Yes, but I think your technique is also very good."
"Okay, but I need to cook first, and then the baby can order."
He first placed Pei Hening's notebook on the coffee table in the reception area, and then turned and went to the kitchen area.
He opened the refrigerator and showed Pei Hening the food inside: "See if there's anything you want to eat."
Pei Hening ordered three-delicacy soup, pineapple and black pepper beef cubes, spicy fish slices, and stir-fried king oyster mushrooms with shredded pork.
Pei Hening quietly watched Chu Xuange cook, just like before the survival game began.
As Chu Xuange turned to get the ingredients, Pei Hening saw an unidentified creature appear outside the car window.
"roar--"
The roar of the unknown creature was loud and extremely penetrating, giving Pei Hening goosebumps!
