The Apothecary Diaries - Ch. 79.1 - The Pit (Part 1)

[AmethystLord]

Crazy Lady: I'm going to throw you into a pit of vipers!
Maomao: Really?!? Woo ... cough I mean... No. Don't. Please. That would be terrifying.

Pretty sure MaoMao will emerge victorious among all the vipers. Basically they would be making poison pot with her.

Following this series is so difficult because of how inconsistent mao mao's intelligence is. She can go one moment from being a super genius that solves some obscure in the shadows conspiracy with some advanced knowledge most people in the modern age don't even know to taunting and insulting the obviously sociopathic lunatic that could behead her at any moment if she felt like it. I get she did it for the kid, I really do, but showing an act of kindness at the risk of her own life just does not sound like something she would do.

Maomao has a strong sense of justice. It has nothing to do with her intelligence. She has shown again and again that she will do the opposite of what's logically correct if it means saving someone.

Why do you think she got involved with the nobles to begin with? Her first case was literally her saving Gyokuyou's daughter even though she knew it would give her unwanted attention. Did she also not risk her own life when she saved Jinshi on the altar?

Anyone who thinks Maomao is someone who only made decisions based on her logic clearly doesn't get her character.

page 1 / cover page :

i dont understand the meaning of this page , and of the title "the pit" ?

the old b!tch shen mei has a pit ? lol pun .

in the next chapter , mao mao will be thrown inside a pit that have many venomous animals ? from the shadows , i guess the animals are : centipedes , bugs , and snakes ( or they are long "tentacles" with big "tips" ? lol ) .

i bet mao mao will be the victor of this gu ritual , she will eat all other animals and absorb their venoms , lol : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gu_(poison)

page 2 :
shen mei only likes to watch other peoples doing "the deed" ?

and on the bed , 1 guy VS 2 girls , and 1 other guy VS 1 other girl ? THIS IS UNFAIR .

page 9 :
- shen mei wants a drug that makes you 10 years younger ...

- me : this b!tch thinks she is in the wrong manga : this manga is "detective mao mao" , not "detective conan" . in chapter 1 of "detective conan" , the brat conan drinks a drug , and then he becomes more younger .

last pages :
- shen mei just loves watching peoples suffer .

- me : well , a simple solution for her : at the end of this arc , maybe the emperor will capture her , and then other peoples can torture her in front of a big mirror , so she can watch her own sufferings , lol .

Are these chapter parts the format in which the serial releases or the format that the scan group uploads? Waiting is killing me

The manga is a near 1:1 adaptation of the LN (this should be the standard unless its its a final draft that expands on the source material like DUO) so things are stretched out over more Manga chapters vs the original LN chapters. As a result you get chapters split into multiple parts.

when will chapter 79.2 be uploaded here? scanlation of chapter 80 already out yesterday but I don't like the translation

I thought I saw 79.2 and 80 on another site that looked like this scan group, but I wasn't sure if its them but at the same time, thought it was weird when it has been a while to release 79.2 at this point?
