Chapter 29 A Special Person with Big Boobs

Lin Nanxing had just checked the system messages he had blocked and discovered that although this beast tide was dangerous, the gains were also plentiful.

Besides the usual instant noodles and chocolate, there are many other foods, such as energy bars, spicy strips, and spicy chicken noodles, which clearly indicate the main monsters targeted.

This time, she decided to stop with the scarcity marketing and instead give everything away as a treat for everyone.

"And for those guests who were injured in the monster attack, each person will be given three bottles of burn repair medicine."

"It was our fault for making our guests take action when the beast tide came. This event is our way of apologizing and thanking you."

After arranging the comforting work, Lin Qiulan immediately went to carry it out, while Lin Nanxing strode up to the third floor of the swimming pool. Pushing open the door, the scene that came into view made her heart ache and her eyes redden.

The once lush banyan tree is now covered with charred scars on its trunk, and its verdant leaves are almost gone, submerged in the pond.

The banyan tree sensed its owner's arrival and tried to shake its branches cheerfully as usual, but only made a snapping sound as several charred branches fell to the ground.

"Don't move!" Lin Nanxing hurriedly stepped forward, gently stroking the still trembling branches of the banyan tree, and pursed her lips, saying, "What can I do to help you?"

The only response she received was the faint rustling of leaves. Lin Nanxing searched the entire store but couldn't find any medicine. At that moment, she regretted not unlocking the medical function.

Or, would the pastor's treatment be effective for the plant?

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Lin Nanxing took out a bottle of growth accelerator from his backpack, uncapped it, and poured it onto the trunk of the banyan tree.

The principle behind growth accelerators is essentially a concentrated version of ultra-efficient fertilizers. Since they are used to improve the growth rate of crops, they should also be applicable to banyan trees, which are also plants.

Lin Nanxing poured out the four thousand yuan growth accelerator in less than half a minute without even blinking, and the effect was just as she expected.

The charred trunks of the banyan trees healed more quickly after absorbing the growth accelerator.

"It really works!" Lin Nanxing exclaimed in surprise, and then poured another bottle without saying another word.

The area that had been throbbing was covered by a cool, green liquid, and the banyan tree spirit stretched its body comfortably.

The old bark flakes off in a soft rustling sound, and the newly sprouted buds emit the unique fragrance of the plant.

Lin Nanxing watched this scene from the side and felt a little emotional. She had been living a rather comfortable life lately and had forgotten that this was a post-apocalyptic world full of dangers.

An attack by monsters averaging only level 30 caused varying degrees of damage to the entire territory.

"System," Lin Nanxing summoned the system he hadn't communicated with in a long time, "Does Yunpei Town also frequently encounter such beast tide attacks?"

[Yes, host. The more people gather in a place, the more likely it is to attract monsters. Yunpei Town experiences a beast tide attack on average once a week.]

Before Lin Nanxing could ask any more questions, the system continued: "Yunpei Town is located underground and has a guard team composed of several high-level players, as well as a protective shield currently possessing the highest defense level. Therefore, it can barely withstand the invasion of monsters."

Is this merely 'striving'?

Lin Nanxing's heart sank. She had originally thought that Yunpei Town, which was closest to her, was just an ordinary village, but she hadn't expected it to have such good conditions.

Even with such favorable conditions, it was still so difficult to overcome the invasion of numerous magical beasts. Did she make a mistake in upgrading her territory?

The thought only flashed through Lin Nanxing's mind for a moment before she dismissed it.

No, people should live with aspirations. How can they only crave immediate comfort? Besides, the system just said that Yunpei Town only has the highest level of defensive barrier. Does that mean there are other types of barriers?

Lin Nanxing voiced his guess and received a positive response from the system.

[The games cover everything; you can find almost anything you want.]

That means it exists.

There were no entertainment activities, no cell phones, and no computers in the territory. Lin Nanxing's only pastime was browsing the online store over and over again. She was certain that she had never seen any barriers for sale in the store.

"Besides the in-game store, are there any other ways to obtain other types of barriers?"

For example, hidden quests?

The system can read the host's mind. Worried that the host might actually develop a negative and threatening attitude, the ever-rational system used its massive data stream brain to think for 0.01 seconds and decided to give a hint.

[Host, your territory has been upgraded to a town, and the barrier will undergo a significant upgrade.]

That's exactly what I wanted to hear!

As long as the barrier is strong enough, there's no need for the Great Banyan Tree to protect it. This is the solution Lin Nanxing came up with. Anyway, the barrier can automatically regenerate health and can be restored by spending money, which is better than players or magical plants.

Lin Nanxing finally got the answer he wanted and couldn't wait to open the Lord's Panel.

To upgrade a village to a town, the following conditions must be met.

[1. Economy: Has 5 stable sources of income (3/5, currently: swimming pool, bubble tea shop, hotel)]

2. Population: ≥100 permanent residents (currently: 6/100)

[3. Special: The territory has 10 high-level players (0/10)]

Lin Nanxing was dejected after reading it. Of the four conditions, none were met, and one was even unmet.

Suddenly, ripples appeared on the pool, and the banyan tree gently wrapped its recovered, healthy branches around her wrist, as if to comfort her.

"Da Rong, I'm fine."

Lin Nanxing quickly adjusted her mindset. She had only upgraded her territory yesterday, so it was impossible for her to complete the requirements immediately. Now that she had a goal, it was just a matter of grinding, and she could do it!

*

When Yun Junqi woke up, she found herself lying on a soft fabric sofa. She subconsciously reached for her protective suit, but only touched thin cotton clothing, which was her undergarment.

Strange, why isn't it hot?

As the daughter of the mayor of Yunpei Town and a rare level 25 priest, Yun Junqi enjoys the best treatment in the town. Not only does she live in a house with ventilation, but her home also has an old-fashioned air conditioner.

Although it can only be driven for two hours a day, it is already a luxury compared to others.

But at this moment, she felt a continuous coolness in the environment where her skin was completely exposed, something that even air conditioning in a closed space could not provide. This unconventional comfort made her tense up.

"Awake?" A clear female voice came from the doorway. Lin Nanxing stood there holding a water glass. "How are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"

Yun Junqi sat up alertly, but before she could answer, she was interrupted by the voice of her companion who had woken up earlier, "Qiqi, come and see! There's a swimming pool here, and it only costs 50 game coins per hour, so cheap!"

"And another thing, there's actually a temperature-controlled barrier here, much better than the one in our town."

Yun Junqi looked in the direction her friend was pointing. Inside the room with the door wide open, there was a display screen showing the temperature as 27℃.

A constant temperature of 27°C is nothing short of miraculous in a post-apocalyptic world where the surface temperature is consistently above 100°C.

Yun Junqi was shocked inside, but showed no sign of it on the surface. She looked back at the woman who had spoken first, and after a moment of consideration, asked, "Excuse me, where is this? Did you save us?"

Although the girl remained calm, the uneasy look in her eyes revealed her inner tension.

"This is the Star Territory, my territory, which naturally includes you whom I saved."

Lin Nanxing was not modest at all when he said this, and it was indeed true.

Long before Yun Junqi woke up, she had already learned the whole story from the first few people who woke up. In fact, their dispute with Clover was just a misunderstanding.

These children, being rare professional priest players in the town and children of high-ranking leaders, have been under strict protection by the town's administrators since childhood.

These flowers, grown in greenhouses, enjoy the best resources, but because they have never experienced the harsh realities of the outside world, they always yearn for freedom.

People who are well protected are always restless at heart, so a few of them sneaked out of the town's guards and ran into the Clover Brigade, which was migrating.

They were all still children, only a few years old when the apocalypse came, and had no memory of plants. This was the first time they had seen the plants their parents had been talking about.

Driven by curiosity, and relying on their average level 25 strength, they secretly followed behind this group of clover players who were generally only level 10.

Along the way, a clover unexpectedly fell behind, and Yun Ziming, who was in the group, had an idea.

His sister had just become a player and was matched with a summoner class, so he thought he could snag this clover as a gift for her.

Ignoring his companions' advice, Yun Ziming took out his scepter and launched an attack, but he overestimated his own abilities and underestimated the clover's power.

As a priest, his simple attack was deflected by the spinning clover leaves and bounced back onto himself, a commotion that even alerted the clover's leader.

What happened next was the one-sided 'battle' that Lin Nanxing witnessed.

These pampered young people experienced for the first time that in this cruel apocalypse, rank numbers were far less important than practical experience.

"So, those clover plants are your contracted magical plants?" During the conversation, Yun Junqi noticed the clover plants passing by outside the room from time to time and keenly sensed that something was wrong.

"To be precise, it was after I saved you that I formed a pact with you."

The order of these steps is crucial.

Yun Junqi remained silent. The clover clover group that had made the five of them look so disheveled was easily taken down by the woman in front of her. Just how strong was she?

Why has no one known about this person all these years, and why did he appear near Yunpei Town?

As the daughter of the town mayor, under her mother's influence, even though Yun Junqi is the youngest of the five, she thinks about things more comprehensively than her silly, happy companions.

Lin Nanxing was unaware that she had unwittingly put on a big show. Seeing the obvious wariness in Yun Junqi's eyes, she smiled amicably and suggested, "This is your first time in the Star Territory, would you like me to show you around?"

As she spoke, she extended her hand to Yun Junqi.

Sunlight streamed down from behind her, and instead of the usual scorching heat, it bathed Lin Nanxing in a golden glow.

Perhaps it was because the temperature was too cool, or perhaps it was because the person in front of her looked too natural, but at that moment, Yun Junqi vaguely saw the image of 'hope' depicted in a picture book she had read as a child.
