Chapter 28: Refining Sleep Essential Oil
She didn’t know what was added to that medicine, but from the looks of this result, that medicine was no good thing, and it was even harmful to the human body.
Shi Lele was a bit stunned. She didn’t know why An’an suddenly got angry, but she immediately said, “Of course I treat you as a friend. I won’t drink that sleeping pill anymore. Moreover, ever since you gave me that calming medicine packet, I’ve been able to sleep well every day and don’t need to drink sleeping pills to fall asleep at all. Really!”
Shi Lele patted her chest in guarantee, looking all fawning as she hugged Shi An’an’s arm. “An’an, don’t be angry. I was wrong, really. I won’t play on Star Net anymore!”
Hearing that Shi Lele hadn’t drunk the sleeping pill, Shi An’an breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and pulled Shi Lele into the room.
“I’m not stopping you from playing, nor do I mean to command you. I’m just reminding you that if you keep this up, your body will suffer.”
Shi An’an gestured for Shi Lele to lie down, cleansed her hands, and gently pressed them on Shi Lele’s head.
“So comfortable~~~” The instant she was massaged, Shi Lele comfortably closed her eyes.
“An’an, you know massage too!” Shi Lele was extremely surprised.
“Mm, relax. Tell me if it becomes uncomfortable.” Shi An’an quietly channeled spiritual power into her hands and, through massaging the meridians, gently sent the spiritual power into Shi Lele’s body.
Repairing her mental power and the fatigue in her body.
“Mm…” Shi Lele felt so comfortable she was about to fall asleep right away. She had never known massage could feel this good. Previously, when she went to a massage parlor with her mother, it had hurt her terribly.
In a moment, Shi Lele had fallen asleep, and Shi An’an continued to massage her whole body.
After finishing, she rummaged through a bunch of space buttons, took out a pot of clear heart grass—oh, that is, mint.
Then she took out rosemary, mugwort, rose flowers, lavender… a total of eight plants.
She also took out a pot and a set of utensils for refining essential oil from the space button.
Although she didn’t know how to refine pills, she had at least provided spiritual plant herbs to her senior brothers and senior sisters who refined pills for so many years and had observed them refining pills.
Refining some sleep-aid essential oil was still something she could… try!
Shi An’an processed them one by one, and a fragrance gradually filled the air, then quietly spread out…
In an instant, with Shi An’an’s room at the center, the fragrance of the sleep-aid essential oil spread out bit by bit.
“Huh? What smell is this? So fragrant!”
“What… ah! I smell it too! So fragrant, so fragrant!”
“Ah…, weird, I really want to sleep…”
“Me too… so fragrant…”
…More and more students smelled a fragrance, and the students who smelled it unknowingly sat down on the spot and fell asleep.
Gradually, more and more students fell asleep either sitting or lying down, and the first batch were naturally those who had stayed up late on Star Net for a long time—they fell asleep super fast and super comfortably.
The second batch were the students who often trained in the training room, training day and night without stop, already exhausted long ago and barely holding on with willpower.
The third batch…
The fourth batch…
Until the instructors discovered something wrong in the surveillance.
“Alert! Alert!!!”
After seeing a ground full of “unconscious” students, Lin Xi immediately pressed the starship alert button. “Quickly notify the medical staff to check the students’ bodies!”
“Let’s go check for dangers!”
He Rui stood up to leave, but Lin Xi darkly pulled him back. “You’re the chief instructor. What are you going to do? You’re the one who gives commands!!!”
“…Uh, habit, habit…” He Rui only then came back to his senses. This wasn’t in the legion.
“Uh, how do I give commands?” He Rui asked shamelessly.
Lin Xi’s mind went beep—beep—beep—!!! in his heart.
The others nearby covered their mouths and snickered. Ximi looked at He Rui disapprovingly. “Chief instructor, the students are in danger, and what are you doing!”
He Rui was also anxious, but had no choice but to rack his brains thinking of how their head usually acted. “Ximi, you take people to check for dangers on the starship. Buda, you take people to check outside the starship…”
Everyone immediately set off, however…
Lin Xi keenly smelled a faint fragrance.
“Hold your breath!”
Everyone immediately stopped breathing and put on gas masks one after another.
In the end… the fragrance still lingered around their noses.
The entire command room was silent, with no one speaking.
Suddenly, He Rui quietly nudged Lin Xi’s arm. “Do you feel any changes in your body?”
Lin Xi frowned tightly. Of course, and this feeling was unusually familiar, and this fragrance also had a faintly familiar sense. He had some vague guesses in his heart, but he didn’t believe it!
The detection personnel nearby immediately tested the air.
“Beep… Test results show this gas has no toxin…”
“No toxin?” Everyone was surprised. If there was no toxin, why were the students all unconscious?
Seeing this result, Lin Xi decisively took off his gas mask and took a deep breath.
“Hey, Vice Instructor Lin, be careful!” Ximi shouted worriedly.
Smelling the faint fragrance, Lin Xi felt his mind clear and his body much more relaxed. This effect was similar to the medicine packet on him.
But he still a bit couldn’t believe his guess. If his guess was true, then…
He glanced at the people around. Most here were from the First Legion, then those from the Ninth Legion that He Rui had brought.
Good thing, no outsiders!
“Ahem.” Lin Xi cleared his throat, gesturing for everyone to take off their gas masks.
The First Legion people trusted Lin Xi and took theirs off first, then He Rui.
Seeing He Rui take his off, the rest also removed their masks one after another.
At this time, the medical staff outside, wearing protective suits, came in. “Chief instructor, we’ve checked the students’ bodies. They seem to have fallen asleep…”
“Fallen asleep?!” Everyone exclaimed in unison, in disbelief.
Hearing this result, Lin Xi smiled silently and rubbed his forehead, inwardly chanting about his friend.
Shi Anfeng ah Shi Anfeng, what dogshit luck did you have? The younger sister you found actually has such great abilities! Tsk tsk, he was so envious he wanted to cry!
“Everyone stand by and stay alert. I’ll go check with the chief instructor.” Lin Xi pulled He Rui to leave.
“I’ll go too.” Ximi hurried after them.
“Uh, since there’s no danger, I’ll go too…” Buda looked at Lin Xi. Why did he feel like Colonel Lin knew something?
“No need. You all stay here and keep watch on the surroundings at all times.” Lin Xi refused and secretly tugged He Rui.
Although He Rui didn’t know what Lin Xi meant, he still followed Lin Xi’s words and gave the command for everyone to stand by in place.
“Hey, do you know what this fragrance is?”
He Rui wasn’t stupid. Seeing Lin Xi so calm, he guessed a bit.
Lin Xi glanced at He Rui. “I don’t know, but I’ve guessed a little.”
