Wenya silently watched Ningbao, who wasn't thinking about dinner but instead diligently throwing handfuls of leaves into her small alchemy furnace, and fell into deep thought.

So, when Mumu comes out again, will Ningbao have already turned into a little Eugénie Grandet? The child wasn't like this before, so when did she start to change? How come she didn't notice?

However… when Mumu was around, Ningbao's mind never seemed to work this well. No, it should be said that Ningbao never used her brain to think about problems at all. So, is it really because she lost her support?

The saying goes, "A child cries three times when he sees his mother." This principle seems to apply equally to Ningbao and Mumu.

Ning Bao was unaware of the shocking things she had done to Wen Ya's values. At this moment, Ning Bao was no ordinary Ning Bao, but a very frugal one.

Her storage bag was already full, and there was no room for these leaves, so she had to deal with them.

If Ning Bao had any unusual fire or earth fire, he would probably refine them directly into pills. Considering the medicinal power contained in a single leaf, such a large pile of leaves would likely only yield a few bottles of pills. Moreover, these would be the kind of pills with relatively mild and general medicinal power. To put it bluntly, they could only be used to replenish strength and had no specific target.

But there was no flame here for Ning Bao to refine pills, so she could only make medicine from these leaves first.

Making potions is different from alchemy because it involves the final step of pill formation, and the initial refining is not as pure. However, the advantage is that making potions only requires ordinary flames, and Ning Bao has a lighter in his spatial bag.

Regarding fire, Mu Mu was quite confident in Ning Bao because Ning Bao controlled the fire very well when refining pills, so she didn't give Ning Bao any further instructions.

As it turns out, Mumu was too complacent.

"Hey, why won't this lighter light?"

After Ning Bao refined the nth batch of potion, the lighter wouldn't light.

"Ningbao, don't bite!"

Ningbao doesn't know how to fix things. In her memory, the few ways to fix things are to tap them a couple of times, like with a television.

And so, the poor lighter got its comeuppance, getting slapped and bitten. And Ningbao is really strong…

"Ningbao, stop! No, stop talking!"

Although it seemed that given Ningbao's constitution, a lighter couldn't possibly hurt her; only the lighter itself would be injured. The problem was, this was their only lighter!

Tao Tao is a fire element. Back in the Beast Taming World, they didn't know Tao Tao wouldn't be able to come out. The reason they brought a lighter was because Mu Mu has a habit of being prepared, so she prepared everything in every aspect.

At the time, Wenya thought Mumu was overdoing it with packing, feeling that a lot of things were unnecessary. Now it seems that it was definitely better to listen to Mumu.

As for the apocalypse, please, where would they get lighters in the apocalypse? They have so many fire-type ability users; they don't need them at all. Restoring production would also require a lot of manpower and resources, so it's completely unnecessary. But they can't exactly drag a fire-type ability user along with them, can they?

The giants who had previously adopted them used a wood-burning stove. It might be a stove, anyway, Wenya didn't really understand; she'd only ever seen things like that in books before. Neither she nor Ningbao knew how to use it, so the smoke just turned their faces black.

Wenya still vividly remembers that scene. Little Ningbao, all dark-skinned and puffing smoke from his mouth!

So, Wenya looked at the lighter she had snatched from Ningbao's mouth in her hand and breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Don't tell her anything about starting a fire by rubbing sticks together. Mu Mu might be able to do something that's too difficult, but neither she nor Ning Bao could.

"Could you be a little gentler with the poor lighter?"

"I'm sorry, Ningbao was wrong."

Ning Bao also thought of it; without Mu Mu, losing this lighter would definitely be a huge test for them.

Waaaaah, Ningbao is getting sadder and sadder. The Ningbao we know now is a Ningbao without Mumu, wow~

The child was on the verge of tears, feeling wronged. Whenever Mumu was away for a while, Ningbao quickly discovered that many things that used to be taken for granted had now become troublesome.

Actually, it wasn't just Ning Bao; Wen Ya felt the same way too. Honestly, she'd been fooled by TV dramas again. There's never a TV drama where the male and female leads are tripped up by the trivialities of life!

Even if she were to be defeated, it should be by the evil villain first, then she should regroup and finally eliminate the evil forces. Why has no one ever told her that the mundane realities of life—food, clothing, shelter, and daily necessities—can be more devastating than a wicked villain!

Little White Cake, standing to the side, couldn't understand why Ning Bao and Wen Ya were suddenly so downcast. Was it because of the lighter?

"Ningbao, Ningbao, do you want a lighter? Gaogao's shop has them, but you need to unlock a new general store first."

Bai Gao showed Ning Bao the general store panel that only required 800 points to unlock. Actually, his store also had items like Strange Flames, but they were extremely expensive, so showing them to Ning Bao was pointless. On the other hand, the prices in this general store were within Ning Bao's budget.

Ning Bao immediately cheered up, and her recovery speed was so fast that Wen Ya, who was standing next to her, was dumbfounded.

"Crying won't solve anything; we need to take action quickly."

She even went so far as to comfort Wenya.

"Did Mumu teach you this too?"

"Huh? No, it isn't."

A flawless version after careful inspection!

Ning Bao quickly opened an online store, bought a new lighter, and continued brewing her potions:

"My older sister told me. She said..."

Ningbao raised a little paw and imitated the words in a serious manner:

"Ningbao, if you can't figure it out, why don't you try it yourself? Maybe a problem that your brain can't solve can be easily solved with your fists."

Wenya: ...

I suspect your sister is corrupting the children, and I have evidence.

But now it seems like it's not so bad; Ning Bao's fists are indeed more reliable than his brains. However…

"Ningbao, are you really not going to consider having dinner first before continuing?"

Wenya clutched her rumbling stomach. She had been hungry for a long time and had been waiting for Ningbao to come back. But when Ningbao finally returned, she was engrossed in preparing her medicine.

"Okay, okay, let's eat dinner!"

Ning Bao quickly responded and pulled out a roast duck, a squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, and a large bowl of steamed egg custard from her spatial bag...
