Qi Shao felt that Xie Sen was too strange, having suddenly jumped into the pool to swim, just after he gave the contract beast a bath in the pool. He stood and watched for a while, and soon found something wrong. The pool water was clear, the water was less than two meters deep and could be seen at the bottom. The person he thought was going to swim, had his hands and feet paddling around without any regularity, not at all like swimming, and was gradually sinking to the bottom.

Qi Shao’s face changed. ’Poof,’ he jumped into the water, and with two or three strokes, he reached Xie Sen’s side, and grabbed the unconscious Xie Sen out of the water.

Xie Sen woke up, opened his eyes, saw the snow-white ceiling,and had the faint smell of disinfectant between his nose. He tilted his head, and saw Maine sitting on the stool next to the bed.

Maine, with one hand on his chin, dropped his hand when he saw him wake up and leaned forward to ask, “How are you feeling?”

Xie Sen sat up and looked around the all white walls. “I’m fine. Is this a hospital?”

Maine nodded, “You fell into a coma last night, and have been asleep for eight hours.”

Xie Sen looked at the time, it was already after six o’clock the next morning. He remembered falling in the water and rubbed his forehead. Qi Shao would definitely think it was because he was an idiot. He lifted the covers off the bed, and asked Maine as he put on his shoes, “You’ve been taking care of me?”

“Mm.” Maine got up. “Wait, I’ll ask the doctor to check your body, and make sure it’s okay before you do the discharge procedure.”

“Don’t bother, I’m fine,” Xie Sen thought to himself, I know better than the doctor what my condition is. “I have to go to work!”

Maine frowned. “How can you be healthy? The doctor said you are overworked and malnourished. Your condition is very bad.”

Xie Sen was speechless. There weren’t even vegetables here. Malnutrition was normal, okay? As for the fatigue, he was not very tired at all.

At Maine’s insistence, Xie Sen was examined, and the doctor said, “There is nothing serious, pay attention to more rest and take more nutrient solution.”

Xie Sen was confused. What was nutrient solution?

The doctor saw his expression and sighed, “Did you forget to drink it? No wonder you aren’t getting enough nutrition. The Ministry of Health has issued many reminders that you must drink one bottle of nutrition solution every week. You young people just don’t listen.” He wrote a list. “Buy a bottle of nutrition liquid, drink it as soon as possible, and then you can be discharged.”

With Maine’s help, the discharge process was quick. Xie Sen sat on the passenger side with a 300ml bottle of green liquid, and asked curiously, “What’s this made of? I can’t believe it costs 100 star coins a bottle.”

Maine set the course and replied, “The juice of various large non-edible plants is mixed, so it is rich in the nutrients we need.”

Xie Sen suddenly realized, no wonder the people here eat meat every day and don’t get sick. They still had plant nutrition supplements.

He took a sip of the nutrient, and his face instantly wrinkled into a ball. It was too hard to drink! The heavy grass smell, slag taste and indescribable spicy taste mixed together. It wasn’t like nutrients but like poison.

Maine tilted his head to look at him. “Not used to it? How long has it been since you’ve had one?”

“I don’t remember.” Xie Sen said vaguely.
