Chapter 1400: Chapter 1378: Newly Added Function 1
Eunuch Wu smiled, lifted the box with Manbao to the palace gate, and told the guards that these were items rewarded by the Crown Prince. He showed the gift list to them before putting the items onto the carriage.
Eunuch Wu reached into his sleeve and took out a pouch, stuffing it into Manbao’s hand, saying, “There are two pieces of pastry inside, just enough to fill one’s stomach for a while. Doctor Zhou Junior, why don’t you take it to satisfy your hunger on the way?”
Manbao did not refuse and accepted it with a smile.
She climbed onto the carriage, lifted the curtain, and looked at Eunuch Wu. After hesitating for a mont, she said, “Eunuch Wu, take care of yourself.”
Eunuch Wu’s eyebrows twitched violently. He was neither leaving nor going to the battlefield, so why say such a thing without any reason…
He took a deep breath, still smiling as he nodded, “Safe travels, Doctor Zhou Junior.”
Manbao nodded at him, then lowered the curtain and left the palace.
Eunuch Wu watched the carriage until it was out of sight, then turned around with a smile, which slowly faded from his face. His apprentice hurriedly rushed up to support him.
Following the wall, Eunuch Wu walked towards the Eastern Palace, his steps still very slow. Seeing no one around, he whispered, “Think carefully, from New Year until now, have you been careless in your service?”
His apprentice thought carefully, shook his head, and whispered, “Master, ever since His Highness got drunk, I’ve been very careful at work. I haven’t made any mistakes.”
Eunuch Wu exhaled and whispered, “It’s good that no mistakes were made. It’s good. When we return to the Eastern Palace later, be cautious with your words. Don’t say a word more than you should.”
The apprentice quietly nodded.
Manbao sat in the carriage, raised her hand to open the box for a glance, then closed it again. However, her mind was on the Crown Prince. She now had much to say, but with no one around, she could only talk to Keke, “Keke, do you think the Crown Prince has changed?”
Keke paused, likely analyzing the environnt Manbao was in, which seed dangerous. For her safety, it said, “His emotions fluctuate greatly. Based on the data I’ve collected, and comparing it with so human-written books, he may have a psychological disorder.”
Manbao also felt this way, but didn’t know how to treat it. Teacher Mo had ntioned briefly during a class that psychologists were more popular in his world and had better prospects.
But this kind of ntal illness is difficult to treat. She had skimd so related books and found them overwhelming. Teacher Mo wasn’t fond of them either, saying, “Studying this is of little use to you. Your place is politically and economically still in ancient tis, unable to guarantee even food and clothing. How can you treat psychological illnesses?”
Only after encountering Yin Huo did she start studying so materials Teacher Mo found for her, but the Crown Prince’s condition was evidently different from Yin Huo’s.
Yin Huo’s illness caused him personal discomfort, but the Crown Prince’s was very dangerous.
Initially, she felt there was no need to spend much ti researching cases where both physical and ntal illnesses coincided, like Yin Huo, as these were rare and her ti was very limited.
But now she felt a bit regretful, wishing she had learned more back then. Even if it couldn’t cure the Crown Prince, she could at least understand sothing about his ntal illness.
Keke suggested, “Why don’t you find an excuse to run away?”
After all, you’re an ordinary citizen. If you run away, you run away. It’s not illegal. Surely you can refuse to treat a disease, can’t you?
Manbao couldn’t help but say, “How is that possible? If he really is ntally ill, do you think he would still abide by laws and customs and not cause trouble?”
Thinking of the Crown Prince’s behavior just now, Manbao felt anguished and said, “I feel the Crown Princess might have noticed too. You see, she didn’t even send gifts today, nor did she allow Eunuch Wu to accompany .”
As a system, Keke didn’t have human emotions, so it couldn’t quite understand the aning behind this statent. It got confused for a while and still couldn’t grasp what Manbao ant.
At the ti, it forgot to scan the Crown Princess’s hormone distribution chart.
Quietly, the pair returned to Changqing Alley.
The palace staff who escorted her back moved the box down and were about to take it inside, but Manbao stopped them. She rummaged on her person and found the wallet she brought, which only contained so copper coins.
She stuffed the wallet into the palace staff’s hand, concerned, “You should hurry back. It’s getting dark, and it’ll be difficult to enter the palace if you’re late.”
The staff gratefully accepted it, got into the carriage, and left.
Manbao watched the carriage until it disappeared, then knocked on the door and had the porter move things to the backyard. Sanya and the others were always attentive to the happenings in the front yard.
No sooner had Manbao entered the door than they knew. Bai Shan and the others ran over together, holding Manbao and asking with concern, “How did it go? Are you okay?”
Manbao shook her head, “I’m fine, just showed myself to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess.”
Bai Shan looked at her face, frowned slightly, and lowered his gaze, looking at the box, “What is this?”
“Reward from the Crown Prince. Move it to my room.”
Manbao followed the box into her room, then said to those still around her, “Sanya, get a basin of hot water. I want to wash my face and hands. You all go out first.”
After driving everyone out, Manbao opened the box, stored the stones inside the system, and then found the new course Teacher Mo had set up according to what he taught her.
Entered the stones as teaching materials.
The stones instantly vanished from the space and moved into the classroom.
Keke watched silently through the code, saying nothing.
After a series of operations, Manbao began to feel sothing wasn’t right. She rubbed her chin and asked, “If teaching materials can be shared, I can upload things here, and Teacher Mo can take them over there; Teacher Mo can upload things there, and I can take them here. Then, aren’t other dicines and dical implents, with technology far superior to here, also transferable this way?”
Teacher Mo can ship boxes after boxes of needles for acupuncture, because the items are also available here, so the Encyclopedic Hall does not block it.
But things that are far superior technologically are not allowed by the Encyclopedic Hall to be transferred privately unless they are listed in the mall.
However, over the years, Manbao has also discovered that the items presented in the mall are screened by the Encyclopedic Hall, clearly indicating that things unsuitable for her civilization are not shown.
Discussion on the forums reveals that many things available in the mall are missing.
But the technology goods self-operated by the Encyclopedic Hall are much more expensive.
For instance, the stun baton Manbao and Keke purchased years ago, only used once, still lies quietly in the space. It almost cleared out her points when it was bought.
Later, she looked for a similar item in the mall but couldn’t find it, indicating that the Encyclopedic Hall is monopolizing.
At this mont, Manbao seed to have understood sothing, staring at the colorful rooster floating in front of her and asked, “Last ti I said I wanted a dical pod, and you said the Encyclopedic Hall wouldn’t allow transfer, that I can only learn and experience it in the classroom. dicine vanished only sixty years ago, so why can it be transferred?”
