Long Yu smiled, held Yao Ran's hand, and replied, "Of course."
With smiles on their lips, the two of them went hand in hand to the backyard to prepare the orders. When Shi Xuan returned, he joined them in counting and packing the orders.
An hour later, Yuan Rihui returned with three space ability users.
The newcomers froze when they arrived in the backyard, stunned by the mountain of supplies before them. Having only joined the team a few days earlier, the sight left them speechless.
Noticing their shock, Yao Ran asked Yuan Rihui in a low voice, "Brother Yuan, can we trust them?"
"Don't worry, Miss Yao," Yuan Rihui assured her. "I saved them two days ago. They were nearly killed and eaten by rioters when I found them. They join us not only to repay a favor but also because their families need food and safe shelter."
He paused for a moment and then explained, "Since they are space ability users, I recruited them into our team. With their help, transporting goods will be safer and easier."
"Although their spaces are small now, I have heard rumors that the base has developed a potion to enhance abilities. Once we have enough base coins, we can provide this potion to our members. By then, we will be able to become the strongest team in this base."
Yao Ran was surprised by the news of a potion that could enhance abilities. In her previous life, there had been no such potion.
Looking at the three space ability users working there, each with a deformed body part, she thought for a moment. Then she asked, "Brother Yuan, do you think we could create a base if we are capable of producing potions to cure deformations and enhance abilities?"
Yuan Rihui chuckled at her question and sighed, "With such potions, you could do more than create a base-you could even rule the world."
"Unfortunately, these potions aren't easy to obtain, and the production is very limited. I heard that only people with strong and prominent backgrounds will have the opportunity to buy this potion at the auction held at this base in two weeks."
After saying that, he suddenly paused, turned to look at Yao Ran, and curiously asked, "Miss Yao, could it be that you have more of those potions? Didn't you say you only had a limited amount of the potion to cure deformation?"
Yao Ran smiled calmly and replied, "At that time, we weren't teammates yet, so I needed to be cautious. But now that we are teammates, I won't keep it from you. I still have plenty of the potion to cure deformation."
"..." Hearing this, Yuan Rihui was speechless.
While he was devising a plan to use these potions to their advantage, Yao Ran retrieved three small glass vials containing pure lake water from her space.
She waited until the three space ability users had finished storing all the supplies before calling out to them, "Can you guys come here for a moment?"
Before they came to get the supplies, Yuan Rihui had already informed them about Yao Ran's identity. Hearing her call, the three of them hurried over.
Standing before her, they lowered their eyes respectfully and asked, "What are your instructions, Miss Yao?"
Yao Ran held out the three small glass vials and said, "This is a potion to cure deformation. Do you dare to drink it?"
Rumors about a potion capable of curing deformation had already spread throughout the base and even reached other bases. However, since the Second Army soldiers were last cured, no one had seen the potion again, turning it into a legend.
Looking at the three small glass vials, the space ability users exchanged glances filled with hesitation, curiosity, and hope.
Noticing their emotions, Yao Ran said calmly, "If you don't want to drink it, I won't force you. However, this is the only time I give it to you for free. If you want it in the future, you will need to buy it from Brother Yuan."
Hearing this, they hesitated for only a moment before each took a vial. Examining the clear liquid inside, their eyes widened in surprise. Despite the cold temperature, the water remained unfrozen, which was unexpected.
Thinking of the rumors about the potion's powerful effects on curing deformation, they realized that if they wanted to buy it in the future, they might have to pay a hefty price-or even risk their lives. Since their boss had already given it to them, they decided to drink it, whether it was truly a potion or not.
Having made their decision, the three space ability users opened the glass vials and drank the lake water.
Swallowing the clear liquid, one of them remarked, "This potion doesn't have any taste."
The others nodded in agreement.
Standing beside Yao Ran, Yuan Rihui observed them closely. Seeing no signs of discomfort, he asked them, "How is it? Did you feel any changes after drinking the potion?"
The three space ability users shook their heads in response. Just as they did, one of them suddenly dropped to his knees, groaning in pain.
"Ugh..."
Alarmed, Yuan Rihui and the other two hurried over to check on him.
"What's wrong? Are you alright?" Yuan Rihui asked worriedly.
The space ability user could only clutch his deformed hand, enduring the pain in silence.
Turning to Yao Ran, Yuan Rihui asked anxiously, "Miss Yao, is this a side effect of the
potion?"
Before she could respond, the other two space ability users also collapsed, groaning in pain. Startled, Yuan Rihui stood frozen, not knowing what he could do to help them.
Seeing his inaction, Yao Ran calmly said, "What are you doing? Help me bring them inside quickly."
Her words jolted Yuan Rihui back to his senses. He nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking
at grain.
"Oh, oh, oh."
Together, Yuan Rihui and Yao Ran carried one of the three space ability users into a guest room. At that moment, Long Yu and Shi Xuan came downstairs from the training room.
