Day by day in the infinite game

After reading the book "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", the various magnificent underwater wonders and mysterious marine creatures described in it will arouse your yearning and expectation for the seabed.

However, Tang Qinqin, who felt she had "phobia of the deep sea", didn't know that one day she would have to face and personally overcome this psychological difficulty for a game mission.

When she received the game question category titled "Underwater World", she thought she was going to visit an aquarium.

Well, if the sea can be regarded as an "aquarium" in another sense, and you can swim in it with various marine creatures.

[Ding! Welcome to the "Underwater World" game! Do you like the mysterious underwater world? How much do you know about it? This round of the game is a test level. Are you a legendary deep-sea master or a deep-sea fearer? Come on.

Verify it!]

After the game prompt ends, the scene in front of you quickly changes.

Tang Qinqin looked at the dim environment in front of him and blinked, feeling a little strange for a moment.

But this feeling did not last long, and she soon found herself in the vast sea. Not on the surface of the sea, but in a deep sea with almost no light.

The boundless seawater enveloped his whole body, and Tang Qinqin's heart was gradually filled with fear of the unknown.

She felt her heartbeat pounding in her chest, her nerves were tense, and she did not dare to look around.

Tang Qinqin's mind began to unconsciously recall the various deep-sea behemoths he had seen in popular science documentaries, the huge octopus that could fight whales, the brutal and bloodthirsty sharks, the beautiful but poisonous giant jellyfish...

For a moment, the fear in her heart surrounded her, as if the dark waters around her were hiding countless pairs of eyes, waiting for the right moment to rush over and swallow her.

No, why am I in the sea?

Tang Qinqin's mind, which was groggy due to excessive fear, suddenly had a trace of doubt.

As if unwilling to remain fearful, she subconsciously clung to this doubt and asked herself over and over again, why am I in the sea?

It seems, as if this is just a game!

Detection level? Deep sea...

By the way, I am in the game!

Tang Qinqin suddenly opened her eyes. Her fear and anxiety were dispelled, and she tried to calm her heartbeat.

So, the game party knows what her fears are, and is it training her?

I don't know whether it was due to extreme fear, numbness due to too much fear, or because he inadvertently defeated the fear in his heart. Tang Qinqin actually changed from his previous restraint and anxiety and began to swim freely.

It would be a pity not to look around at this mysterious and beautiful ocean scenery while taking advantage of the convenient opportunity brought by the game to breathe freely in the water without fear of deep water pressure.

The last trace of fear in Tang Qinqin's heart quietly disappeared.

[Congratulations to player Tang Yuanwai for achieving the goal of becoming a junior deep-sea expert!]

…

The acupuncture test results came down.

Tang Qinqin passed the basic level assessment and obtained the acupuncture level qualification certificate.

This certificate means that starting from today, she can start to diagnose and treat patients under the leadership of her master or other senior brothers and sisters with medical qualification certificates.

This is undoubtedly a big step forward. No matter how much theory you learn, if you don't apply it in practice, it will just be just talk on paper. She can sit in the class together, which means that the "internship" stage has begun.

"Junior sister, congratulations." Senior brothers and sisters kept congratulating Tang Qinqin when they saw it, but they began to feel a sense of crisis in their hearts. The junior sister who entered the door later was very talented and worked hard, so I had to work harder.

Tang Qinqin had no arrogant thoughts in his heart. When he started to practice in a medical clinic, he had to learn more things. In addition to the pulse-taking skills he was learning, he also had to learn to judge diseases and prescribe medicines. Being familiar with the properties of various traditional Chinese medicines was also a compulsory course.

Just thinking about this, she felt that she was still learning too slowly and too little.

Traditional Chinese medicine includes not only various kinds of prepared herbs, but also many other minerals with pharmacological properties, insects, etc., and even the "excrement" of some rare small animals.

For example, "Wulingzhi" sounds like a very elegant name, doesn't it? It is actually the dried feces of orange-footed flying squirrels and flying squirrels of the flying squirrel family.

It is a traditional Chinese medicine used to promote blood circulation and relieve pain.

There are also hare poop, called moong sand; bat poop, night-light sand; sparrow poop, white lilac...

The famous ambergris, also known as ambergris, is the dried endocrine secretion of sperm whale intestines. It is a precious substance used in making spices.

Nature is very magical.

…

Time passes day by day and spring begins.

The warm mulch covering the ground in the back mountain and small courtyard has been peeled off, revealing various herbs that have slept well all winter.

"Purslane, toad grass, plantain..." Tang Qinqin held two lists in his hand, one of which listed the names of some herbs that are common in rural areas but rare in cities.

On the other one, the medicinal materials on it are relatively rare, including Dendrobium officinale, Cordyceps sinensis, Gastrodia elata and bezoar, etc.

"These are the herbs that are currently in high demand. If you need them, let me know." Laojiu said.

The medicinal materials on the second piece of paper are scarce resources in medical clinics and pharmacies. In fact, there are far more than those on the list.

Nowadays, with the deterioration of the climate environment, loss of soil nutrients, and over-harvesting, various precious wild medicinal materials in nature have become increasingly difficult to find.

This is also an important reason why traditional Chinese medicine is difficult to treat today.

"Okay, I understand." Tang Qinqin handed the previously harvested herbs to Laojiu: "Look, these are the first two crops. They are mainly dandelion, plantain and purple groundweed."

Her cultivation talent has been continuously accumulated with the planting of these batches of herbs, and now she can ensure the survival rate of the more precious herbs.

"It's just these Dendrobium officinale and the like. I don't have any seeds. Where can I buy them?"

…

Precious herbs are of course hard to come by.

Tang Qinqin and Laojiu, led by their respective senior brothers and sisters, were heading to the inaccessible mountains to find their target.

It is already rare to see such a lush and ecologically sound forest. The national department has specially set up a protection base to prevent indiscriminate logging, theft of trees, wild animals and plants, etc.

To be able to come in, they submitted various necessary materials and procedures along the way, and finally passed the review and were allowed to enter. When they finally came out, they had to undergo a scan and interrogation before being released.

It takes ten years for a tree to take a hundred years to become a forest.

The birth of a forest requires a long period of natural evolution, but destroying it may only take less than a year with humankind's current capabilities.

Tang Qinqin was in a very happy mood. She released her natural psychic ability from time to time to communicate with the surrounding creatures. She obviously felt that the vitality of the animals and plants here was more intense and solid.

There seems to be great hope in finding the goal of their trip in such an environment.

Because the forest is inaccessible, there are basically no roads. There are only two regular routes patrolled by forest rangers, which are long and thin and winding in the forest.

Everyone was carefully watching their steps and trying not to step on the green plants around the path.

All things have spirits and should respect each other.
