Mrs.

Marlin asked gently.

Mu Ying looked at Mrs.

Marlin, who was skillfully serving customers behind the bar.

To be honest, she was quite surprised.

This is Bruce Tavern!

Does Marin’s Bakery have a partnership with Bruce Tavern?

And where is Uncle Bruce?

Mu Ying looked around the tavern; he wasn’t at the card tables, nor in the kitchen.

Huh?

He was actually cleaning a lamp?

It looked like they finally got around to dusting off that gray, dusty lamp.

His messy hair had been tidied up, and there was no sign of drunkenness.

He actually looked pretty decent.

Mrs.

Marlin, seeing where Mu Ying’s gaze was directed, said with a smile, “He’s pursuing me, and I’ve agreed to give it a try.”

“Oh!” Mu Ying took another meaningful look at Uncle Bruce.

Not bad, him!

“We’ve introduced a new dessert wine set meal that Bruce and I recently came up with, at a 30% discount.

Would you like to try it?” Mrs.

Marlin suggested.

Zheng Jing was startled and hastily made eye contact with Mu Ying.

However, the two of them were not on the same wavelength at all, and Mu Ying didn’t catch on.

“Sure, I’ll have one.

Jingjing, what do you want?” Mu Ying agreed and then turned to ask Zheng Jing.

Seeing her odd expression, she asked, “What’s wrong?”

Zheng Jing sighed, “Nothing, Mrs.

Marlin.

I’ll take the same as her and add a double steak set meal from Sela Restaurant, along with a pot of Green Fruit Wine.”

After ordering, she pulled Mu Ying to sit down at an empty spot.

Mu Ying realized something was off; the meal Zheng Jing ordered seemed to be for two.

“Ah, you’re being hasty.

Love isn’t just about the sappy stuff; it can also be sickeningly sweet,” Zheng Jing shook her head.

“If you can’t handle it later, at least you’ll have the steak to fall back on.

I’m really quite clever.”

As it turned out, Mu Ying had indeed been hasty.

The new dessert wine set meal looked quite nice, but it was overly sweet.

The pastries were okay, just a bit on the sweet side and still edible, but coupled with the wine, it was instant nausea; it was practically poison.

Mu Ying had to conjure up a water ball to drink just to wash away the sweetness in her mouth.

Zheng Jing’s decision to order an extra steak was incredibly wise, preventing her from ending up too full to eat after a long day of work.

Bruce finished wiping the lamps and tables, occasionally casting affectionate glances at Mrs.

Marlin busy behind the bar.

Mu Ying touched the previously unsanitary places that had now all become clean.

Love truly is powerful; it can transform someone who was untidy and took pride in it into a hardworking domestic man.

“When did those two get together?” Mu Ying felt she had missed out on a lot of gossip.

“Just a month or so, I guess.

But Bruce has been after Mrs.

Marlin for a long while.

She always complained about him being sloppy.

He didn’t get the hint until once, drunk with players, he let it slip that he was infatuated with Mrs.

Marlin.

That’s when the regulars at the tavern started giving him advice on how to win her over,” Zheng Jing said with a sigh.

“The players all teased him.

He claimed he chased her because he saw her as capable and gentle, someone who knew how to keep a home.

But after getting together, it’s he who has become the diligent little wife.

Still, Bruce seems quite proud of it, haha.”

“I can tell,” Mu Ying nodded, seeing that he had not drunk any alcohol but still looked as though he was drunk, giggling foolishly from time to time, she knew just how happy he was to have won over Mrs.

Marlin.

“Also, it seems that Cheng Wei and Paul have something going on.

I don’t know the details, but I’ve heard people in the team say they’ve seen them walking by Moon Lake at night,” Zheng Jing continued to gossip.

Mu Ying held her forehead, “But it’s winter right now!”

“Haha, there are even more player couples confirming their relationships.

Maybe next year we’ll see babies born in the territory!” Cheng Wei laughed.

Mu Ying was taken aback by the comment, “No way, our situation hasn’t improved enough to raise children!”

The conditions are poor and unstable; if children are born and something happens to the parents, what then?

She knew all too well how tough it was for children without the protection of their parents.

“True, but we can’t prevent pregnancies now, and there’s no harmless way to terminate them.

Even though we have Healing Magic, it can’t fully replace medicine, so accidents are bound to happen.

Folks are a bit better off economically, they can afford their own small rooms when co-renting, so some things are inevitable,” Zheng Jing spread her hands, “Nurse Maria only has sterilization medicine.

Sigh, I really don’t understand them; men are so disgusting, why go through with it!”

Mu Ying quickly scarfed down a few bites of her meal and downed her drink in one gulp before rushing out, “I’m not talking to you anymore, I’m going to get some contraceptive medicine!”

“Eh, I didn’t mean to make you work overtime!” Zheng Jing’s hand reached out in a bid to persuade, but Mu Ying was already gone, “But she can make contraceptive medicine?

It really takes someone special to be a Lord.”

As for Mu Ying being able to make contraceptive medicine, she actually first learned how to make the Easy Fertility Potion.

The Magic Potion was originally invented by a witch who served as a Fertility Witch in the human world, and later, a gifted witch used it for breeding, with excellent results.

She learned to make this Magic Potion to help the Breeding Camp thrive.

The herbs needed had just been harvested and she hadn’t started making the potion.

Mu Ying read in the library’s archives that if you cook the potion just right, it becomes an Easy Fertility Potion, but if you overcook it slightly, it turns into a sterilization potion.

However, this sterilization effect could be countered by the Easy Fertility Potion; it was safe for both men and women to consume and harmless to the body.

Mu Ying never expected that a potion originally prepared for the Magic Beasts at the Breeding Camp would need to be urgently used by the residents of the territory.

She hoped that any child born in the territory in the future would be the result of their parents’ desire, not an unexpected surprise.

This also reminded her that the education of the territory’s next generation needed to be considered.

But this was not too urgent a matter; with contraceptive medicine, no one should get pregnant before they are ready.

In the current environment, where adults are struggling to meet their basic needs, it is really not suitable for newborns to survive.

Mu Ying stayed up all night and made some contraceptive medicine.

Luckily, the sterilization medicine took effect immediately upon consumption, and the Easy Fertility Potion could cancel the sterilization effect with only a dose.

To achieve the fertility effect, however, a whole bottle was needed.

Hence, she could divide a single bottle of sterilization medicine into over ten portions, greatly reducing her workload.

Even so, she worked overnight and made 200 doses of sterilization medicine and 20 doses of the Easy Fertility Potion by dawn, her eyes dark from exhaustion.

Of course, she dared not label the potions with their real names, instead renaming them “Contraceptive Potion” and “Fertility Potion” for the antidote.

Then she had the information on these two potions certified by the Mercenary Guild and made it public, allowing every player who got the potions to check their effects using the Item Identification section of the Player Manual.

This allowed the Doomsday Game to guarantee the effects of the potions.
