“But why do I feel like you have some bad intentions?” Miss Miller straightforwardly pocketed the silver; she never even considered whether she should take the money.

“……” Evan was silent for a moment, then continued walking. Could he even answer that question?

Just pretend, pretend he didn’t hear!!

“Hey, you brat, you’re definitely up to something shady!!” Seeing Evan stay silent, Miss Miller was sure there was something going on. Don’t forget, her whole purpose was to see what Evan was up to.

If she found out Evan was up to something, she would definitely—

Ignore it!!

That’s right, she wouldn’t care what Evan was doing; she just wanted to know what he was up to, that’s all!

“…Well, Miss Miller, I can secretly tell you, there is a little trick here. Since you know, let’s split this thing evenly.” Evan didn’t struggle much and directly admitted it to Miss Miller, as if trying to drag her into it.

“I knew you were up to something!! Haha, go on, what is it? Maybe I’ll just pretend I didn’t see anything.” Miss Miller looked triumphant, but she didn’t seem to care about getting anything out of it.

“Alright, don’t talk so loudly, or the whole world will know!!” Evan immediately stopped Miss Miller’s excitement, because at this moment, many people were curiously watching him and Miss Miller.

Walking around here with Miss Miller was already attention-grabbing, and this Miss Miller was so eccentric!!

“Hehe, got it! What are you all looking at? What’s so interesting?!” As Miss Miller said she understood, she shouted even louder, drawing even more attention, but no one dared look at them directly.

“……”

Evan didn’t want to say more, quickened his pace to get the prescription and medicine, and hurried back to prepare the third young master’s medicinal bath. Now, Miss Miller was a bit confused.

“Hey, aren’t you going to take these herbs?” After Evan finished dividing things up, Miss Miller noticed there were only a few scraps of herbs left. Could this really be the trick? It seemed completely normal, even less than normal.

Before, Miss Miller had always thought Evan wanted to take these herbs and had deliberately over-reported the materials, but now she realized she might have been wrong.

“What? No, these are for the third young master!” Evan shook his head.

“So there’s nothing extra?” Miss Miller frowned.

“No, everything is precisely calculated, there won’t be much waste!” Evan kept shaking his head, shattering Miss Miller’s last suspicions.

“Damn, then where’s your trick?” Miss Miller was angry. Was this brat messing with her?

“Well… you’ll see in a moment!!” Evan was silent for a bit, then continued working. He processed the sorted herbs through various steps—grinding, chopping, or packing—then put them into the medicine vat and started decocting.

“All done!!”

“……”

Miss Miller had been watching the whole time, but she really couldn’t see any trick.

“What did you actually take?”

“These!” Evan pointed at some things.

“Damn, are you messing with me, brat?!” Miss Miller saw what Evan was pointing at and got a little angry. This brat was clearly playing with her.

“No!” Evan answered very seriously.

“What are these? They’re just some herbal scraps. Is this the trick you were talking about?!” Miss Miller asked, annoyed.

“Strictly speaking, these aren’t dregs, they’re fragments of the herbs. They’re small, but still effective!! The dregs are those, the ones that have already been used…”

“Enough, I don’t need your explanation, I’m not an idiot!!” Miss Miller cut Evan off. “What’s the use of taking these? They’re just trash.”

“Miss Miller, I just said, these still have some effect! Sure, it’s just a little now, but this is only once. If there are ten times, twenty times, then it adds up, and I can use them to make more pills.” Evan said seriously.

“……” Miss Miller fell silent. She seemed to understand what Evan meant.

Chapter 011 Resource Utilization (1)

“I’m just a lowly servant, I can’t have as many resources as you all do. I can only collect what I need like this. Luckily, the Mo family has a lot of resources, and some you haven’t even noticed yourselves…” Evan smiled as he spoke. His words revealed that his status was different, and so were the things he possessed.

But in these words, there was also a hint that, although he obtained resources differently, he didn’t have any less than anyone else—maybe even more.

Sometimes, if you just pay attention to what’s around you, you’ll find that what you want has always been right there, and there’s no need to chase after it deliberately.

Although Evan was just a lowly servant, he knew how to discover his own resources, collecting what he wanted bit by bit. The process was long and not always successful, but it allowed him to accomplish many things—some of which others couldn’t even imagine.
