Powerful Healing Effect

"Elder Jia, the wine is brewed. You can send someone to pick it up. Highland Barley Wine.jpg"

"Good, good, good. I'll send someone over tomorrow. You've really worked hard, little girl."

"Not at all. Compared to the warriors bleeding and fighting on the front lines, my efforts are insignificant."

"Luo Feng, the two cups of Highland Barley Wine you ordered are ready. Should I send them by courier, or will you come to pick them up yourself? Highland Barley Wine.jpg"

"I don't trust couriers; this wine is too important to me. I'm returning to the Base City today and happen to be participating in the Elite Training Camp assessment in a few days. I'll come to your place tomorrow and pick it up in person!"

"Very well, I shall await your arrival. Tee-hee."

Xue Xi put away her phone, replaced the lid, and descended to the ground on her metal plate. She stood up and rubbed her aching calves, resolving to overcome this damn fear of heights at the next opportunity. As a peak-level Apprentice, this was simply disgraceful!

She used her telekinesis to lift a barrel of wine, hovering it beside her as she turned to leave and locked the room. She wasn't worried about anyone having the guts to steal it; after her appearance at the War God Palace, she was likely well-known. No one would offend a High-Level War God over some wine, and a Planet-level powerhouse certainly wouldn't stoop that low.

Besides, the brewery was under the coverage of the Gourmet Anchor. Even if a Golden Horned Beast came today and tried to drink without paying, it would have to leave its golden horn behind as collateral!

Along the way, the crowd saw Xue Xi and swarmed around her, sniffing the lingering aroma of wine from the barrel. A burly man with eyes full of longing urged, "Shopkeeper, look, the wine is ready. Why not open for business now? Why wait for a specific time to make money?"

This immediately drew agreement from those around them: "Exactly! Open early, drink early, enjoy early! You're a High-Level War God now, shopkeeper; staying open all night for a month wouldn't be too much to ask!"

Xue Xi darkened her face, slapped the 'Closed' sign onto the door, and slammed the rolling shutter down, blocking out the group of alcoholics who were going crazy for a drink: As if! Staying open all night, for a month? You guys must be dreaming!

She entered the kitchen and stood the massive wine barrel against the wall so it would be easy to access tomorrow. She then scooped a large basin of Highland Barley Wine, intending to give it to Little Wolf to treat the lingering hidden injuries from its last fight. However, after scanning with her telekinesis, she found the warehouse completely empty.

Xue Xi frowned. Normally, Little Wolf would have returned from hunting by now, begging for grilled meat. Why was it so late? Could it have wandered off to play?

There were only a few Lord-level Monsters nearby, and none were a match for the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf, known as the 'Hunter'. As for the surrounding Martial Artists, surely none would risk offending her just to kill a low-level Lord-class Silver Moon Fierce Wolf?

After much thought, Xue Xi concluded that the little guy must have just wandered off to play. It seemed she would need to place a telekinetic tracking mark on it next time to make it easier to find.

She placed the basin in Little Wolf's dedicated food cabinet and covered it with film. Xue Xi then poured herself a cup of wine and headed to her bedroom. She didn't use her telekinesis to resist the effects, and after a few small sips, she drifted off into a hazy sleep.

The next morning, Xue Xi lazily stretched her body, which was just beginning to develop. After washing up, she tied her hair, which had grown down to her back, into a refreshing ponytail. She raised a fist at the mirror: "Another new day. Come on, Xue Xi!"

Arriving on the first floor, Xue Xi put her hands on her hips. With a flick of her telekinesis, all the chairs on the tables floated up and landed neatly in rows on the floor. She couldn't help but sigh: "Telekinesis is just so convenient!"

She opened the rolling shutter to find a long, snake-like queue outside. Today, however, there were many missing limbs and appendages, with some being pushed by their teammates. Xue Xi clapped her hands lightly: "The restaurant has new items today. I hope everyone enjoys the meal and gains much. Business starts now!"

The Martial Artists excitedly entered the restaurant, skillfully finding the Housekeeping Doll to place their orders, paying, and then finding a seat to wait.

Xue Xi had already ducked into the kitchen. Seeing the tickets appearing on the ordering machine, most of which included a cup of Highland Barley Wine, she decided to scoop out the wine for everyone first and have the Housekeeping Doll deliver them before she started cooking the other dishes.

The kitchen was bustling with activity, but the restaurant was strangely quiet. Everyone was staring at a young Martial Artist lying in a wheelchair, missing three of his four limbs. Beside him, a burly man was carefully holding a cup of clear wine to his lips.

The young Martial Artist trembled as he opened his mouth and downed the Highland Barley Wine in one gulp. It was fragrant, mellow, and left a lingering taste on his lips and teeth, washing away much of his tension.

The burly man watched the young man's expression of enjoyment impatiently: "Don't just focus on the drinking! Does the wine actually have an effect? Say something, you're killing me with suspense!"

Disturbed from his blissful state, the young man closed his eyes in embarrassment and carefully felt the changes in his body after the wine went down. A few seconds later, he opened his eyes wide: "Brother Wang, I feel like my wounds are itching... wait, no, it's getting itchier!"
