] [ These things dont seem very heavy , so case closed , Noah is just double standard , deliberately not wanting to help Hope carry the backpack .

] Let Hope explain the use of these items , the director ordered through his earpiece to the female staff member .

Hope , do you have any special purpose for bringing these items ? Hope placed the radio on the table , plugged it in , and pressed a button .

A sharp suona sound echoed through the room .

1/13 Chapter 58 : Gathering for Games + 5 Points The staff member instinctively covered her ears , and the cameraman flinched in shock .

The viewers in the live stream felt both a visual and auditory shock .

Hope turned off the music .

Its for clearing the mind , effective , right ? Clearing the mind ! Very effective ! The female staff member rubbed her ears .

What about the others ? Hope looked at the stone mortar and pestle .

The rest are for medicinal use .

This isnt against the rules , right ? Medicinal ? The staff member looked puzzled , glancing from Hope to the items .

Her gaze finally settled on Hopes arm .

2/13 Chapter 58 : Gathering for Games + 5 Points Suddenly , she realized what was going on , but was still unsure .

Actually , Western medicine would probably work faster ! Hope smiled lightly .

I prefer herbs .

She didnt continue on the topic of herbs versus Western medicine because she knew everyone had their own beliefs .

The female staff member didnt say anything more and left after completing the check .

Now that everything was laid out , Hope didnt bother to put it back in her bag .

Hope turned on the radio again .

The viewers in the live stream couldnt help but cover their ears , but Hope wasnt listening to the suona music .

Instead , she switched to a 3/13 Chapter 58 : Gathering for Games + 5 Points music station .

The station played soothing music , while Hope poured what looked like sawdust into the stone mortar , pounding it with the pestle until it turned into powder .

If one looked carefully , it was obvious that what looked like sawdust was actually dried herbal fragments .

So bored ~ Last time I watched her break wood , now shes just smashing wood chips .

I literally fell asleep , whatever , Im hopping into another stream .

Came from Lilys stream , shes working part time picking veggies at a street food stall today , now shes just chilling on the couch .

Such comments were not only in Hopes live stream but alsosiniotochers .

Hope looked at the powder she hadhgrground , just enough to use .

She poured the powder into the incensese burner , borrowed a lighter from the staff , fárand lit it .

A wisp of white smoke rose.e.

6/13/13 Chapter 58 : Gathering for Games + 5 Points Just in time , Lily and the others came upstairs .

Sienna brought sour vegetables and chili powder , Benjamin brought drinks and disposable cups , and Lily brought snacks .

Hey, is this an incense burner ? What kind of incense are you burning ? Benjamin immediately noticed the incense burner .

High quality incense ! Hope replied teasingly .

Ha ! High quality incense ! Haha ! Lily laughed and leaned in to sniff the incense burner .

Smells like herbs ? Yep , its herbs , Hope answered truthfully .

What kind of herbs ? What do they do ? 7/13 Chapter 58 : Gathering for Games + 5 Points Calm the mind , soothe the heart , settle the spirit , repel insects , Hope said meaningfully while looking at Benjamin .

If its taken orally , it has the same effect , though its very bitter .

Ancient texts record that even dead people who lost all five senses found it bitter Benjamins curiosity was piqued .

Really ? Professor Benjamin , want to give it a try ? Hope said , picking up a disposable cup , pouring some powder she had left in the stone mortar into the cup , and adding mineral water .

The powder only partially dissolved in the water , and a bitter taste quickly spread .

Hope , fearing Benjamin wouldnt dare drink Chapter 58 : Gathering for Games + 5 Points it , divided it into four small cups .

She took a sip herself and then said to the e others , Want to try ? Lily wrinkled her nose .

No , no , just the smella is so bitter ! Its better as incense ! Sienna took the cup , tried a small sip , and her eyes filled with tears from the bitterness but she still said , Its not bad .

That was very supportive ! Benjamin drank it all in one go and then froze in place .

Lily was startled .

Benjamin , are you okay ? [ @DramaWatcher ] Benjamin looks straight up deceased .

Bros not even blinking -I think he stopped breathing .

9/13 Chapter 58 : Gathering for Games + 5 Points [ @ConcernedFan ] Wasnt that stuff for Hopes injuries ? Whys she feeding it to everyone ? What if someone dies ? [ @ChillPill ] Relax , Hope drank it herself .

If shes fine , Benjamins probably just being dramatic .

[ @Taste Tester ] Nah , I think Benjamins just in shock from how bitter it is .

That stuff looks like swamp water .

[ @HerbHater ] What even IS that herb ? I Googled it and got nothing .

Is Hope just making this up ? [ @Conspiracy Theorist ] Same .

Zero results .

Either its fake , or Hopes secretly a witch .

[ @CertifiedDoc ] Anyone remember if Hope has a medical license ? Maybe shes into 10/13 Chapter 58 : Gathering for Games + 5 Points traditional medicine or something .

Lily was genuinely worried about Benjamin .

After all , they had known each other for years .

Seeing that Benjamin wasnt responding , she hurried over to shake him .

After being shaken a few times , Benjamin finally came back to his senses .

He smacked his lips and smiled .

Thats really bitter ! At least he could taste something ! Even if it was bitter , at least he could taste it ! Hope , seeing his reaction , breathed a sigh of relief .

If Benjamin couldnt taste anything , that meant his taste buds were really beyond saving .

11/13 Chapter 58 : Gathering for Games + 5 Points This was a special herbal mixture she had prepared to stimulate taste nerves .

If Benjamin could taste it , there was still hope .

Hope handed him Lilys cup .

If you like it , you can drink more .

Benjamin shook his head .

Its too bitter .

Can you add some sugar ? No , but you can add some sour vegetables or chips , Hope teased , pointing at the food Lily and Sienna had brought .

Lily quickly grabbed the snacks and shielded the sour vegetables with her body , glaring at Hope seriously .

Dont even think about it ! We bought this with our own money , dont make it all bitter .

Who would want to eat it ? 12/13 Chapter 58 : Gathering for Games + 5 Points Benjamin , on the other hand , seemed to have realized something and gave Hope a puzzled look .

Hope smiled faintly at him , and it seemed like he was bewitched .

He wanted to confirm his guess .

He believed Hope knew about his illness , and these herbs might even be specially prepared for him ! Ill drink it ! He grabbed a bag of snacks and was about to dip it into the unfinished herbal drink when Hope stopped him .
