Chapter 188 Wake up early

It took Lan Ximeng and her companions an hour to reach the cliff they had found earlier.

"Wow, so many flowers!" Zhou Xiao looked at the dark flowers all over the cliff and wanted to pounce on them and pick them.

But it’s only a little after three in the afternoon, and it’s not time for the dark flowers to bloom yet.

Seeing that the area was full of their targets, Lan Ximeng's worried heart calmed down.

I had prepared for the worst, thinking I would have to go to many places before I could find it, but I didn't expect to find it on the first try, and in a large area.

Moreover, the honey they were looking for was right on the cliff, so they didn't need to spend time looking for it.

"It's still early, what should we do?" Steven asked Lan Ximeng.

Lan Ximeng thought for a moment and said, "I remember it was said in the book that if dark flowers appear in a large area, there is a high chance that there are dark stones nearby. Let's split up and look for them. Be careful."

Dark stone is actually the crystallized nectar of the dark flower, and its effect is much better.

"Boss Lan, I remembered the nectar we collected before." Zhou Xiao remembered that all the things they had collected during military training were only exchanged for more than 2,000 credits.

If it were converted to the present, it would be at least 5,000.

"Don't say that. I feel sad." Lan Ximeng also thought of the things she had collected.

The most precious thing inside was not the nectar or honey, but the yellow crystal given to her by the glass beetle.

That crystal has no effect, it is just a very rare crystal.

It could be sold for hundreds of millions out there, especially the one she got, which was of top quality in terms of completeness and transparency.

The other four people have started to act according to Lan Ximeng's instructions, but Lan Ximeng is still covering her chest, feeling sad about her previous gains.

I can’t think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the more heartbroken I feel.

Lan Ximeng calmed down and started searching with her mental power. She soon found a lot of dark stones among the flowers.

Time passed quickly as they were busy, and by the time they finished exploring the nearby flower fields, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

"Oh, I'm so tired." Zhou Xiao pounded his lower back. Even if he was in good health, bending over for a long time would be tiring.

Steven and the others nodded as well, pounding their lower backs continuously.

At the beginning, Lan Ximeng still had enough mental power to pick up the items, but after a while, she stopped using it after half of her mental power was used up.

After patting his lower back, Lan Ximeng sat on the stones that the others had collected, gave the animal repellent powder to Hu Hansan, and asked them to sprinkle it nearby.

"Sister Lan, did you make this powder?" Hu Hansan and Wen Yang pinched out a little and took a look. They found that the powder was of top quality. Even such a small package would cost 20 to 30 credits if they were sold online on campus.

"Yes, I have some more. Do you want some?" When Lan Ximeng decided to come to the deserted planet to earn credits, she spent some time refining a lot of medicinal powders and potions.

"No need." Hu Hansan and Wen Yang spread the powder evenly.

Lan Ximeng took out a large tent, and the five of them worked together to set it up.

There are two small rooms and a larger living room in this tent. Now several people are waiting in the living room for Lan Ximeng's arrangements.

"Let's take a break now. Zhou Xiao and Hu Hansan, you guys stay on guard first. The others can take a break. We will start construction at 12 o'clock."

"No problem!" Zhou Xiao and Hu Hansan walked out of the tent and began to keep watch.

Lan Ximeng chose a smaller bedroom, drank a tube of mental recovery potion, and began to sit cross-legged.

12 o'clock.

Lan Ximeng opened her eyes and walked out of the tent with Steven.

In the moonlight, the nectar of the dark-flower sparkled in the darkness.

Lan Ximeng distributed the tools given for the task to the four people, "How much you collect is equal to your share! Let's get to work!"

She first collected the nectar, then pulled up the flowers by the roots, and from time to time she was able to pick up a few hidden stones that had slipped through during the day.

Half an hour later, Lan Ximeng had collected 180 dark flowers and more than 500 milliliters of nectar.

If it weren't for the flowers, she could have collected more.

"How is it, how much have you collected?"

Zhou Xiao bared his big white teeth and said, "I collected more than a hundred, and there are 400 milliliters of nectar!"

Steven: “Me too!”

Hu Hansan touched his head embarrassedly: "I missed a few flowers, and I broke a few flowers."

Wen Yang said: "I have a little more than them."

The four of them wanted to hand it over to Lan Ximeng after they finished speaking, but Lan Ximeng asked, "Did you remember the quantity?"

"I've got it in mind."*4

"Let's go back and have some rest." Lan Ximeng put everything they collected into the white bracelet.

Lan Ximeng looked at the sun in the distance, stretched her body, and then went in to wake up the sleeping people.

After folding up the tent, the five people simply took the nutritional supplements they brought with them and began to prepare to get the honey.

"The special ability of this level of bees is the poison on their stingers, which has a paralyzing effect." Lan Ximeng said as she took out the cigarette cakes assigned to her for the mission.

"What's this?"

"This is the tool given for the mission. Light it and place it under the beehive to stun the bees. But it only lasts for 10 minutes." Lan Ximeng handed some rock climbing tools to Zhou Xiao and others.

"I'll send the cigarette cakes up with my skateboard. You guys take your time to pick them. All you can take are yours."

Lan Ximeng continued, "When the smoke is about to lose its effect, you should immediately use your mental power to protect yourself, and then come down. Don't be greedy."

"OK!"

I opened the package and checked the cigarette cake inside to confirm that there was no problem.

Putting the cigarette cake on the skateboard, Lan Ximeng used the optical computer to control it to fly to the beehive.

The timed electric cigarette left on top was turned on and smoke rose instantly.

Soon, the bees fell down in a flutter.

Lan Ximeng and the other four climbed up quickly. Since all five of them had space, they could collect the bees much faster and took away the nest and the bees together.

After 5 minutes, some bees woke up quickly and started circling around the five people.

"Oh my god, there are so many! How can it be so fast!" Zhou Xiao climbed down using his hands and feet. Now he couldn't even see the rocks to step on.

"These bees are classified into different levels, so be careful."

After Lan Ximeng used her own supernatural powers to invalidate the bees' supernatural powers, she quickly used her mental power to sprinkle animal repellent powder into the air.

The bees seemed to have seen something terrible and flew away one after another, only to reappear around the five people after the powder dispersed.

After repeating this process over and over again, all five of them reached the bottom of the cliff.

Lan Ximeng immediately took out five packets of medicine powder and sprinkled them on herself, Zhou Xiao and the other three.

Looking at the bees flying around the few people, they wanted to get close but were afraid of the powder on their bodies.

"Let's go." Lan Ximeng led the five people and ran quickly towards the landing capsule.

"What's going on? Didn't the smoke say that it would be effective for ten minutes? How come it lost its effect so quickly?" Hu Hansan touched the right side of his cheek where he was bitten. Fortunately, apart from a little pain, there was no discomfort.

After making sure that there were no bees following, Lan Ximeng asked them to stop.

"Who of you got bitten?"

"Me!" Four people raised their hands at the same time.

Hu Hansan pointed at his face and said, "This bee only stung my face! My handsome face!"

Lan Ximeng took out the medicine, threw it to Wen Yang, and asked the four of them to deal with it themselves.

She took out the packaging of the cigarette she was assigned, and there was still some powder left on the packaging.

Lan Ximeng poured the powder onto the palm of her hand and looked at it carefully. Just like the previous test, there was no problem.

What was the problem that made the bees wake up so quickly?

If it weren't for his special abilities, this beehive would have been able to paralyze and knock out the five of them.

"Is everyone okay?"

Zhou Xiao and several others were stung to varying degrees, and they recovered quickly after applying medicine.

"It's okay. I don't know why these bees are not poisonous. I'm really lucky!" Hu Hansan touched his face and the stings had disappeared.
