RMWDS -Chapter 243 Weight Loss Department

When Chu Fuling heard that, she froze for a moment and looked at Miao Yunyou uncertainly.

“You can really open an entire medical department just for growing hair? Would there truly be that many people willing to travel all the way into our remote mountains just to treat their hair?”

Miao Yunyou burst out laughing and patted her shoulder.

“Young lady, you seriously don’t understand the modern hair-loss crisis. Tons of people are willing to spend money on this!

Sigh… if there were also prescriptions for weight loss in addition to hair growth, that would be even better. It’d definitely become even more popular than the hair-growth department!”

Chu Fuling lowered her head thoughtfully for a moment before slowly replying:

“There actually… might be something like that.”

“Go on!” Miao Yunyou instantly perked up, ears practically standing straight with anticipation.

“In the early years during times of war and chaos, there was once a kind of ancient herbal incense sachet passed down within military camps,” Chu Fuling explained slowly, her tone calming as she recounted the past.

“Various finely ground medicinal herbs would be sewn into small cloth pouches, creating portable sachets easy to carry around.

Its principle works somewhat similarly to ‘quenching thirst by imagining plums.’ Through the elegant medicinal fragrance naturally emitted by the herbs, it calms the mind on an emotional level.”

“Whenever soldiers fell into desperate situations without food or water, and the hunger in their stomachs became unbearable, all they needed to do was bring the sachet close and inhale lightly for a while. The medicinal aroma lingering around the nose would quickly suppress the overwhelming sensation of hunger, allowing them to temporarily forget the painful emptiness of starvation.”

Chu Fuling did not continue further.

These sachets had never truly been considered good things. They were merely desperate stopgap measures used in hopeless circumstances.

Once a disciplined army reached the point of relying on fragrance to suppress hunger, it meant their supplies had been completely cut off. They had already fallen into absolute despair and were not far from death…

This tiny sachet merely relied on scent-induced psychological suggestion—a form of self-deception.

It only allowed starving soldiers to grit their teeth and keep enduring with that illusion of fullness, forcing themselves to expend the last remnants of strength defending their positions and fulfilling their final duties on the battlefield with their lives…

Naturally, Miao Yunyou had never experienced such desperate hardship.

The moment she heard it, she became excited instead.

“There’s actually something like that?! Why have you never told me about this before?!”

Chu Fuling looked at her and teased bluntly:

“These sachets can only suppress hunger produced by bodily instinct. They can’t restrain the cravings hidden in a person’s heart.

I’ve silently observed your daily habits and eating routines for quite some time now. Even when your three meals already leave you completely full, you still can’t stop searching everywhere for snacks and tasty food to satisfy your cravings.

You’re not someone who gets hungry easily—you’re simply a natural-born foodie with endless cravings. This sachet wouldn’t have any practical effect on you whatsoever.”

In simple terms:

The sachet made people feel less hungry.

But Miao Yunyou kept eating even when she wasn’t hungry, so it was useless on a glutton like her.

Miao Yunyou: “……”

Why must you speak such painful truths?

“Fine, fine,” Miao Yunyou said helplessly. “Even if it doesn’t work for me, other people can still use it! By the way, this thing doesn’t require pulse diagnosis and personalized customization too, right?”

Chu Fuling shook her head gently.

“The medicinal ratios in this incense sachet are fixed and standardized. Individual body constitutions do not significantly affect the results, so the effects are roughly the same for everyone. There’s no need for personalized adjustment.

However, to remain cautious, patients should still come for consultation first.

Some people with extremely weak constitutions or chronic frailty are not suitable for using this sachet, otherwise it may damage their vital energy.”

Fair enough.

What if someone already suffered from anorexia, then combined it with this prescription and starved themselves to death? Who would take responsibility for that?

Miao Yunyou laughed repeatedly.

“Alright, alright, then we’ll open another dedicated department—Weight Loss Department.

We won’t prescribe anything else, just this type of sachet! Convenient and efficient!

Hair Growth Department.

Weight Loss Department.

Just hearing those names already sounds like endless profits rolling in! The place is definitely going to be packed!”

Although Miao Yunyou sounded extremely certain, Chu Fuling still didn’t fully understand. In her understanding, nobody except those driven to desperation would ever use such a thing.

“Really?”

Miao Yunyou explained confidently:

“Of course! This is way healthier than injections. It’s convenient and easy to control too. It’ll completely crush every weight-loss drug on the market!”

Chu Fuling let out an “Oh,” nodding in partial understanding while countless emotions quietly surfaced in her heart.

She had grown up amidst endless war and chaos, witnessing displaced and impoverished commoners her entire life. She had personally seen countless people at the bottom of society starve to death because of food shortages and lack of basic necessities.

Her own parents had died that way…

If her master hadn’t taken her in back then, she likely would have starved to death as well.

In her previous understanding of the world, simply being able to eat one’s fill was humanity’s greatest wish and pursuit.

Only in a prosperous and peaceful era like the present—where nobody had to exhaust themselves merely to survive—could people finally spare the leisure to pursue other things, choose their own lifestyles according to personal preference, and enjoy endless forms of happiness and possibilities in life.

How wonderful…

After calming her emotions, Chu Fuling smiled softly and suddenly reached out to touch Miao Yunyou’s hair.

“The original prescription probably has too strong a medicinal scent. Even after washing, the smell may linger in the hair, and Sect Leader might not be used to it.

How about I add some floral fragrance?

What flowers do you like? Or perhaps fruit scents? I can customize it for you.”

Wow.

There was even personalized customization service!

Miao Yunyou instantly felt deeply touched. Her eyes curved into happy crescents as she smiled brightly.

“Wow, Fuling is the best~ Then I want… grapefruit scent!”

She loved sweet fruity fragrances like that.

Chu Fuling nodded readily.

“Alright.”

Being able to live such peaceful and beautiful everyday moments…

It truly was wonderful.

At the same time, not long after the entrance security upgrades were completed, the resort’s aerial adventure attraction also finally finished all testing procedures.

On March 1st—

It officially opened to the public!
