The whole nation is trying to survive on the cable car; I'm choosing one of three options at ea

Su Mu had just closed the chat window with Chen Jun when another message popped up a moment later.

Sender: Lin Yuwei.

It was just one sentence, so brief it was unlike her usual style:

"Do you have any medicine? For treating external injuries."

Su Mu's fingers paused. He stared at the line of text for two seconds, his brows furrowing slightly.

Treatment of external injuries.

"Are you hurt?" he asked.

There was no reply. After a few seconds of silence, a trade request popped up... not a text reply, but a drawing that was sent directly to them.

Su Mu clicked on it and his eyes lit up.

[Medicated Wine Recipe (Blue)]

[Type: Consumable Blueprint/Brewing Recipe]

[Effect: Can be used to brew "medicinal wine". The effects of the medicinal wine depend on the type and quality of the herbs used for infusion. Basic effects: Restores a small amount of physical strength and relieves fatigue.]

【Materials needed: 30 servings of grains (coarse grains/rice), 1 glass essence, 1 herb (different herbs produce different effects)】

Brewing time: 10 minutes

[Note: The quality and type of medicinal herbs directly affect the efficacy of the medicinal wine. High-quality herbs may produce a medicinal wine that far surpasses the basic version.]

Blue blueprints.

Su Mu took a deep breath.

Where did this guy get it?

A blue-quality formula would be absolutely top-tier in the current trading market.

The blue items he spun on the wheel earlier were all incredibly valuable. And this medicinal wine recipe... if he used the best herbs, what level of medicinal wine could he produce?

His gaze fell on the words "different medicinal herbs produce different effects," and a thought flashed through his mind.

Medicinal herbs.

Is blood ginseng considered a medicinal herb?

That purple-quality rare herb, just its roots soaked in water, adds 16 points to constitution. If used to brew medicinal wine...

Su Mu suppressed the restlessness in his heart and didn't think about it any further. Things were still far from certain; thinking about it too much was pointless.

"What kind of medicine do you need for treating external injuries?" he asked.

Lin Yuwei replied quickly, her tone still calm: "Give it to me as you see fit. Make sure it's of reference value."

Su Mu stared at the line of text for a few seconds, his mind racing with calculations.

That woman must have gone treasure hunting today.

And the gains were considerable... at least two intelligence points, otherwise it would have been impossible to obtain the blue blueprint.

The "armory" intelligence she gave him earlier was described as extremely dangerous, making it clear she wouldn't go. She herself was probably off looking for another, relatively safe intelligence location.

profiteer.

But this time he wasn't very angry.

Because he had already gotten quite a bit from Lin Yuwei... a crafting table, tempered glass essence, hand grenades—weren't they all good stuff? It was just a matter of each taking what they needed.

But just how badly injured was she?

Given Lin Yuwei's personality, she wouldn't even mention a minor injury.

She'd rather endure it alone than show weakness in front of others. The fact that she actively sought medicine indicates that her injuries were quite severe.

Su Mu thought for a moment and took out a small bottle of recovery potion from his backpack.

It restores 20% of physical condition and injuries, regenerates severed limbs, repairs internal organs... as long as you're not dead, you can be brought back to life. I prepared this beforehand, keeping it for emergencies.

However, after the job change, two more bottles appeared, so they weren't as precious anymore.

It's not so painful to trade it now. Besides, the medicinal wine recipe that Lin Yuwei took out is far more valuable than this bottle of medicine.

Moreover... he glanced at the blood ginseng wrapped in damp soil in the corner. If the medicinal wine recipe could really be brewed using blood ginseng, then exchanging this bottle of medicine would be a worthwhile investment.

He put the potion in the trade window and clicked confirm.

Almost the instant the item was placed, the other party clicked "confirm".

Su Mu was taken aback.

So decisive?

Given Lin Yuwei's personality, shouldn't she first try to negotiate the price, then probe the market, and finally hesitate for a long time before finally agreeing? What's wrong with her today?

But then I thought... her rush meant she was seriously injured. I didn't even bother haggling anymore; I just offered the blueprints in exchange for the medicine.

Su Mu shook his head, too lazy to guess.

The item had already been sold, and the other party's situation was none of his concern. He put away the blue blueprint, his gaze falling on the blood ginseng in the corner, a slight smile playing on his lips.

These blueprints arrived at just the right time.

......

Meanwhile, on another cable.

Inside the upgraded cable car, the space was considerably larger than the original, about four cubic meters. There were many items, but they were arranged extremely neatly...

Food was on the left, ingredients on the right, weapons hung on the wall, and medicine was kept separately in a transparent plastic box. Each category was clearly separated, as if someone had measured the positions with a ruler.

Lin Yuwei leaned against the wall, her face as pale as paper.

Her right hand was pressed tightly against her left shoulder, blood seeping from between her fingers, staining half of her clothes red.

The clothes on the shoulder were cut open, revealing a wound inside... not a knife wound, not a laceration, but a small, round hole with charred edges.

Gunshot wound.

The bullet passed through her left shoulder, leaving a hole in her chest. Although it didn't break the bone, a large area of ​​muscle was torn apart, and the bleeding wouldn't stop.

She wrapped the bandage around her head a few times, but it was already soaked in blood and had turned dark red.

On the ground, a deformed bullet lay silently, still stained with blood.

Lin Yuwei gritted her teeth, beads of sweat rolling down her forehead.

She had already taken antibiotics, but those only prevent infection and don't help the wound heal. Normally, a penetrating wound like this would take at least a month to heal... She couldn't do strenuous exercise, get it rained on, or get it wet; it could easily become infected if she wasn't careful.

But what does a little over a month mean in this world?

This means she cannot go out to collect supplies for at least thirty days.

In thirty days, her food will run out, her level will be left behind, and by the time she can move again, the world will have already left her far behind.

She needs something that will help her recover quickly. Even if it's just shortening her recovery time from a month to a week, it's worth any price she has to pay.

So she found Su Mu.

She was only going with a try-it-and-see attitude. She knew Su Mu had good things... that purple professional book, that gun, those grenades... but she wasn't sure if he had any medical treatments.

If there were any, even just ordinary painkillers, it would be better than her enduring the pain like this.

Then she saw what was lying in the trade window.

Small recovery potion. Blue quality. Restores 20% of constitution and injuries, regenerates severed limbs, and repairs internal organs.

Lin Yuwei stared at that line of text for a full five seconds, then clicked "confirm" without hesitation.

She unscrewed the bottle cap, tilted her head back, and took a small sip.
