Bai Ning ate three Red Fruits in a row before stopping. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to keep eating, but the roasted meat she had earlier hadn’t fully digested yet; she was feeling quite stuffed.
Beichuan noticed her stop and was a bit puzzled. “Why aren’t you eating anymore?”
Bai Ning opened her mouth to answer, but instead, a loud hiccup escaped. Even with her thick skin, she felt a wave of embarrassment and said sheepishly, “Uh… I’ve already had three. I can’t eat another bite.”
Can’t eat another bite?
Beichuan frowned slightly, his gaze instinctively falling on Bai Ning’s flat belly. She ate far too little; the females in his tribe could easily eat over a dozen at a time. Could the little female think the fruits I brought are too few and is afraid of running out?
This wouldn’t do! How could he let her feel like he couldn’t provide for her? He would go out and find more right away!
At this thought, Beichuan pushed the stone bowl closer to her. “Little female, don’t worry, I can support you. Eat as much as you like; I’m heading out right now to pick more for you.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Beichuan turned and hurried out of the cave.
Bai Ning’s hand reached out in a “wait!” gesture, but she slowly pulled it back. Well, it’s fine if he’s gone. It gives me a chance to check the Point Mall.
“Tongtong, Tongtong, hurry! Bring up the Point Mall for me to see.”
“Coming right up, Sister!”
With a flash of blue light, a screen appeared in front of Bai Ning. Startled, she immediately glanced toward the cave entrance, terrified that someone would walk in and see it.
Seeing her reaction, Tongtong quickly reassured her, “Don’t worry, Sister, only you can see this screen.”
“Only I can see it? That’s amazing!” Bai Ning breathed a sigh of relief and began to excitedly scan the glowing blue interface.
The Point Mall looked very similar to the “TaoBao” shopping app back on Earth. The homepage was filled with recommended items. Bai Ning looked through them: the first was a Scar Removal Cream, the second was a… Smart Toilet.
The moment she saw the toilet, Bai Ning froze. She had forgotten something incredibly important!
Nature calls, and in her current state, how was she supposed to handle… that? She couldn’t exactly let Beichuan carry her to “deal with it,” could she? Just imagining the scene made her want to curl her toes in mortification.
No, she had to drink that Mid-grade Healing Potion immediately. Might as well do it now, just in case an emergency arose!
Without looking further, Bai Ning pulled the vial of Mid-grade Healing Potion from her storage space. To be safe, she checked with Tongtong. “Tongtong, I just drink this, right? Are there any side effects?”
“No side effects, Sister! However, your wounds will feel quite itchy once you drink it. You just have to endure it and you’ll be fine!” Tongtong didn’t quite understand why Bai Ning had suddenly switched from shopping to medicine, but it answered dutifully.
“That’s good then.”
With no side effects to worry about, Bai Ning uncapped the vial, held her breath, and downed the potion in one go. After finishing, she smacked her lips. It was tasteless. She had expected a medicinal tang, which was why she held her breath, but it was just like drinking plain water. As expected of a product from a higher-tier civilization!
After taking the medicine, Bai Ning prepared to continue browsing the mall, but an intense itchiness began to spread, making it impossible to concentrate. Especially where her arms and legs were broken, a dense, crawling itch forced a low moan from her throat.
She instinctively reached out to scratch, but her movements were blocked by the splints. Just as she was about to tear the wooden boards off, Tongtong spoke up.
“Sister, endure it! Don’t move, it’ll be over soon.”
“It itches too much…” Bai Ning grit her teeth, her other hand death-gripping the animal skins beneath her. In an instant, she was drenched in sweat.
“Almost there, Sister, hang in there!” Tongtong was frantic. It had seen others use this before and they said the itch passed quickly—why was it so agonizing for its Sister? The little system hadn’t realized that the people it had seen before were from high-tier worlds with physical stats vastly superior to a “little weakling” like Bai Ning.
Finally unable to take it, Bai Ning ignored Tongtong’s protests. She ripped the splints off, but just as she was about to scratch, the itch suddenly faded. In the blink of an eye, the sensation that had been gnawing at her very marrow vanished completely.
…
Looking at the mess of wooden boards she had torn off, Bai Ning cursed inwardly. Dammit, couldn’t you have stopped just a few seconds earlier? Now how was she supposed to tie these back on with only one hand?
Wait… the fact that it stopped itching meant the bones had healed, right?
She tried moving her arm, and her eyes widened in shock. It didn’t hurt at all! She increased the range of motion until she was certain her arm had fully recovered. She quickly removed the splints from her leg and tested it—sure enough, her leg was healed too.
“Holy cow, this is incredible!” Bai Ning was stunned, but she quickly rationalized it. If transmigration and systems could exist, what was a little Mid-grade Healing Potion? Still, she showered Tongtong with praise, making the rookie system beam with joy.
However… her injuries were gone, but she still had to keep up the act.
Before Beichuan (Mo) could return, Bai Ning hurriedly used her hands and teeth to tie the splints back onto her leg and fix her arm in place. Once she was “broken” again, she lay back down and resumed her research of the Mall.
The System Mall from a high-tier civilization was a total eye-opener.
