Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 55: Binding Sheng Zexi as Patient No. 2 with Many Rewards
Otherwise, if he were to hear that, he would definitely retort greatly: If Jia Ning is considered ugly, then there are no good-looking people in this world.
Gu Jia Ning got into the front passenger seat, pulled down her red scarf, revealing a delicate, charming, and fair face.
She turned and looked at Sheng Zexi, who was starting the car, and said, "Brother Xi, I didn’t expect you to have such a good relationship with those comrades and the wives and aunts."
She had thought that with such a sharp tongue, this person wouldn’t have any friends.
Sheng Zexi: Haha, these people used to try to set me up on blind dates.
But it’s better not to tell this little girl about that.
"By the way, Brother Xi, what does ’warming the house’ mean, that everyone was talking about just now?" Gu Jia Ning asked.
Sheng Zexi explained it to Gu Jia Ning.
When a newlywed soldier is assigned a house and brings his wife to live with the army, he will host friendly comrades or neighbors for a meal, commonly known as warming the house. It’s lively and also allows everyone to get familiar with each other for better socializing later.
"I see, so should we also prepare for that?" Gu Jia Ning asked.
"Sure, but hosting everyone requires preparing quite a lot of dishes, and I might be in training then, so I won’t have the time."
Today, he’s still on leave, but starting tomorrow, he’ll be officially back to training, and sometimes he might even have to go on missions.
By that time, he won’t have much time to accompany Ningning, nor will he be able to cook for her often.
She would have to eat at the cafeteria.
Thinking of this, Sheng Zexi felt a bit troubled, feeling somewhat sorry for Ningning.
"What should we do then?" Gu Jia Ning thought warming the house was somewhat necessary, "I’ll ask Sister in law Zhang another day."
"Alright."
Gu Jia Ning didn’t want to cook herself, but she thought, she could ask for help and in return, either offer some reward or use the super scanner in her eyes to scan those who help and attend the warming house, as a free body check-up for them, which should be pretty good.
The car drove out of the military district, heading towards the mountains.
As the car was driving on the road, Gu Jia Ning suddenly remembered her promise to treat Sheng Zexi’s condition.
"System, bind Sheng Zexi as a patient!" Gu Jia Ning said to the system in her mind.
[Ding! Sheng Zexi has been bound as patient No. 2, scanned, and his related ailments can be viewed in the study space, patient section.]
[Ding! Detected that patient No. 2 is the host’s husband, a key figure in the main quest. The host will be rewarded as follows for successfully treating patient No. 2: National Beauty Pill*1, Hundred Poison Immunity Pills*10, Invisibility Bulletproof Suit*1, points 200.]
Previously, patients numbered 2 to 10 were pigs from the pigsty in Huaihua Village, but after treating those 9 pigs, Gu Jia Ning unbound them.
As for patient No. 1, that’s with the sister-in-law, not unbound yet. She can check the sister-in-law’s health condition in real-time. Currently, the sister-in-law is healed and in a fertile period.
Once the sister-in-law gets pregnant, the first task can be completed, and she will receive the Pregnancy Holy Body Pill.
At this moment, looking at the rewards, Gu Jia Ning exclaimed in her heart.
The rewards are incredibly generous.
National Beauty Pill, as the name suggests, after taking it, she will gradually become even more beautiful than she is now and will have a natural fragrance.
This hit the exact spot that beauty-loving Gu Jia Ning loves the most.
Hundred Poison Immunity Pills are also easy to understand; after taking it, one will become immune to all poisons, a good thing. She could find some time to take one with Brother Xi, after all, there are 10 of them.
The Invisibility Bulletproof Suit, as the name suggests, is bulletproof and can make one invisible. Once she gets this reward, Gu Jia Ning can tell the system who she wants it to be put on, and the system will automatically put it on the person, who won’t know and won’t notice for a while, nor know they have an invisible piece of clothing on.
Unless a bullet happens to fly over and get deflected by this bulletproof suit, a perceptive person might sense something.
But it would still be invisible.
Gu Jia Ning was so excited in her heart.
This thing was perfect for Brother Xi.
Sheng Zexi is a soldier, and from time to time, he has to go on missions, potentially fighting on the front lines with the most vicious people.
And bullets don’t have eyes; whenever Sheng Zexi goes on a mission, there’s a risk of injury.
If he can wear this Invisibility Bulletproof Suit, he can avoid such risks.
So, it’s necessary to treat Brother Xi’s condition quickly to receive the reward sooner.
While Sheng Zexi was driving, Gu Jia Ning accessed the patient section to check his health condition.
After about 15 minutes, the car stopped at the bottom of a mountain.
Possibly due to the extremely cold weather, this place was deserted, with no one else around except them.
"Come on." Sheng Zexi got out of the car first, then helped Gu Jia Ning down, holding her hand as they walked into the mountains.
The terrain was somewhat complex, fortunately, Sheng Zexi seemed very familiar with this place, taking turns left and right, after about ten minutes of walking, they stopped in front of a large stone.
Hmm?
Gu Jia Ning looked at the giant stone in front of her, somewhat puzzled.
Just then, Sheng Zexi stepped forward and pushed the giant stone aside with force.
The next second, a cave, over a meter high, appeared behind the stone, and there seemed to be light faintly emanating from inside.
"I didn’t expect there to be a cave behind this stone." Gu Jia Ning marveled.
"Follow me, bend down, and come in. Slowly, don’t bump into the stones." Sheng Zexi advised.
"Okay."
Though she was a bit skeptical about whether such a small cave could be entered, Gu Jia Ning trusted Sheng Zexi. Holding his hand, she bent down and carefully followed him inside.
At first, the cave was quite narrow, manageable for Gu Jia Ning, who was smaller in stature, but for the nearly 6’3" Sheng Zexi, he had to hunch over to get through, which made Gu Jia Ning feel a bit uncomfortable on his behalf.
But soon, Gu Jia Ning noticed a change.
The further in they went, the taller and more spacious the path became.
Soon, Gu Jia Ning could walk upright, and Sheng Zexi stood up and strolled along.
"Wow, it’s getting brighter. Why do I feel a bit warm?"
She had come out all bundled up, yet now she felt increasingly warm, clearly sensing the temperature around her rising.
"Brother Xi, are we almost there?"
"We’ve arrived."
Hmm?
As Gu Jia Ning took another step forward and looked up, everything became startlingly clear in front of her.
Ahead was a large pool, around which various types of flowers were growing in clusters. The pool emitted steamy mist, and there was a slight scent of sulfur in the air.
Stones surrounded the pool, the only path being the one they came through, along with a hole above that allowed light to stream in.
It wasn’t dark here at all; on the contrary, it was quite bright.
"Wow, this must be a hot spring!" Gu Jia Ning hurried over, reaching the edge and extending her hand to test the warm temperature of the water.
