Because it was known that he is recuperating, Xiào Mu can only stay in his dormitory after the lunch break. With the free time in hand, Xiào Mu browsed through some medical-related courseware for a while and then watched the hottest popular dramas recently. The plot is as dog blood as real-life drama back on Earth but he doesn’t mind. Xiào Mu just wants to understand the way people live on this planet. When it was time for dinner, Xiào Mu turned off the terminal and was about to go to the canteen. His terminal received a message that his takeaway had arrived. Seeing the high-energy food exactly as it was at noon, he immediately knew who ordered it. After some hesitation, Xiào Mu sent a message to Leo.

‘Thank you for the takeaway. I have recovered.’

Xiào Mu unpacked the food and started eating. His terminal vibrated and he looked down. Leo replied, ‘No need to thank me. This is what I should do. It’s good that you are fine.’

The replies from both of them were extremely standard that Xiào Mu couldn’t help but laugh at. He continued to eat but before he could take another bite, his terminal vibrated again. It is still from Leo, ‘See you in the gym tomorrow night.’

At the same time, his terminal received the lock permission of Room 333 of the gymnasium. Xiào Mu felt a bit helpless. Leo really cared about the mistakes in his curricular arrangements. It was a pity that he could not tell him the truth; Leo is destined to be unable to find the real reason. After eating, Xiào Mu estimated that even if he didn’t take the boost pill, his physical fitness will be almost restored fully, so he stopped worrying and went straight to the virtual net.

The ‘Fragrant Sweet Pastries’ store has finished its renovation, so when he walked to the door, Xiào Mu even suspected that he went to the wrong place. It is completely different from the standard model he has seen before. The outer walls of the store are painted with a light yellow color. A sign with the name of the store is hung on the sales window. There are also patterns of biscuits scattered between the words so one can see what the store sells at a glance. Opening the door, Xiào Mu saw that the room is completely decorated according to his design. The biscuit-making instruments were neatly arranged side by side, and the long preparation counter was placed against the wall. After checking, he confirmed that everything is complete. Xiào Mu placed an order on the virtual net to buy the biscuit materials and the biscuit jar. 10 minutes later, all the things he bought were delivered.

Xiào Mu closed the door and concentrated on making biscuits. The sweet smell filled the tip of his nose, making his mouth curve up with smiles and his mood is very relaxed. The biscuits he made this time had a lighter taste. The batch of sweet and salty biscuits was made 3kg, and they were divided into 5 jars; 300 grams each. After sealing the jars, he put them at the sales window and set a price of 50 coins per jar. Next, he set up the automatic vending mode, and then cleaned the store before leaving the virtual net. Xiào Mu stayed on the virtual net for almost an hour. Excluding the time to buy ingredients, it seems that 50 minutes is enough to make biscuits.

At this moment, the sky is not completely dark yet. Xiào Mu wanted to go downstairs for a run but was worried that Leo would see him, which Leo would then find out that his physical fitness recovery is not normal. After thinking about it, Xiào Mu simply decide to take a shower. During his bath, his terminal kept vibrating, which was a reminder for the sale of biscuits. Every time a jar of biscuits was sold, he would get a notification. Xiào Mu couldn’t help but check the notification when it comes, which is really affecting his work. Hence, he turned off the automatic reminder and set it to manual check. His terminal immediately quieted down. After Xiào Mu finished his shower, he browsed the school forum for a while and went to sleep.
