The system fell silent again. No, why was Bai Jiang’s focus different from what it had imagined?

Shouldn’t the main point be “coming from the future” or “your excellent medical skills”?

Why would Bai Jiang think about points?

After pondering for a while, the system explained, “No, that’s not it. The situation is not like that. The points on both sides are different, and they cannot be converted to each other.”

“My points are essential to sustain my operation. To assign tasks to you, I have to exchange my points for them. The more difficult the task you complete, the more points I earn. It’s about each of us getting what we need without interfering with each other.”

“Each getting what we need without interfering with each other?”

This system knew how to use words!

“That’s why I don’t understand why you bound me to you. Is it because my medical skills are good? What’s the use of my medical skills to you?”

Bai Jiang asked this question again.

In fact, these two questions were the most important. However, she initially asked about points to confuse the system.

This time, the system quickly responded, “Only by finding someone with exceptional medical skills can I earn more points and return to the future faster.”

Bai Jiang frowned. The system had mentioned more than once that it was from the future. Shouldn’t medical skills and technology be more advanced in the future?

“Why did you come back from the future?” Bai Jiang asked again.

This time, the system remained silent for almost ten minutes before answering Bai Jiang in a soft voice, “Although medical skills in the future world have become highly advanced, the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine seems to have been lost. In the future, people believe that traditional Chinese medicine is more effective in treating certain complex conditions. However, there are no longer any individuals proficient in traditional Chinese medicine. That’s why they created systems like us and deployed them.”

“These systems?”

Bai Jiang grasped another important point.

“Are you saying there is more than one system like you?”

“In this space, in this era, there is only me.”

“Alright then.”

Bai Jiang believed that there were a few things about the system that were not relevant to her. What she needed to do now was to cooperate with the system.

The system needed points, and so did Bai Jiang.

“System, can you let me see what’s in the mall? Otherwise, I won’t have the motivation to complete the tasks you assign.”

The system felt speechless.

Why did it feel like the host it had bound this time, Bai Jiang, was different from the previous ones?

“Host, as I’ve said before, you don’t have enough points and prestige points, so you can’t access the mall. You also lack the required permissions.”

Bai Jiang sighed, “What’s the use of your system if you don’t open the mall?”

“Host, I can provide you with what you currently need, something that matches your abilities.”

What did the system mean by something that matched her current ability? Was it mocking her for not having any abilities?

“I want a basic recipe for medicinal cuisine,” Bai Jiang said to the system.

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the side mission of treating the patient. The reward is three medicinal cuisine recipes. The reward has been sent to your space. Please collect it as soon as possible.”

Providing treatment to patients at their homes, could also be considered as a side mission?

Bai Jiang couldn’t help but find it a bit funny. However, it was good that she could easily complete the mission. In the future, she could complete more tasks and exchange them for items.

Bai Jiang pondered for a moment and took out the three books from her space.

The paper of these books was a bit yellowed, indicating their age. Seeing this, Bai Jiang furrowed her brow.

Were these books from ancient times? She wondered if her father could understand them.

Bai Jiang opened the books and found that although the paper looked old, the content was written in simplified Chinese characters.

This was a bit strange.

But since it was in simplified Chinese characters, her father would be able to understand it.

Bai Jiang placed the books on the bedside table. She planned to give Bai Shu the medicinal cuisine recipes after they went to the market the next morning.

Perhaps it was because Bai Jiang’s reputation grew as she provided free consultation in town, more and more people came to Ancient Wind Village seeking medical help.

The patients all came to Bai Jiang’s house for treatment and then went to town to buy medicine.

Both Bai Jiang and the patients found it very inconvenient.

Bai Jiang made up her mind. Time was running out to establish the pharmacy.

She drew a simple design herself and asked Xu Liang to help find the construction team. The construction team would take care of ordering the materials.

Furthermore, Xu Liang and Bai Jiang believed that these construction teams would not prioritize money over quality and would not deceive her with cheap materials.

With this assurance, Bai Jiang felt more at ease.

However, she did not expect that on the day the construction team arrived at Ancient Wind Village to start work, Great Master would bring the young and middle-aged laborers from the village.
