Fearing something might go wrong, Zuo Ling had the two brothers hold the strange stone in their hands and then absorb it.

Xiao Hao still showed no reaction, while Pei Nansheng reacted to the yellow energy crystal but could not absorb the others.

The yellow main light indicates that Zuo Lingzheng absorbed the yellow energy crystal and awakened his light-based abilities.

Pei Nansheng possesses fire-based abilities, which are similar to light-based abilities, so it's reasonable that he can absorb them.

Zuo Ling generously gave Pei Nansheng 300 yellow energy crystals to help him enhance his superpowers, leaving Pei Nansheng stunned for a long time.

Compared to what Zuo Ling herself possessed, 300 energy crystals wasn't much, but to be able to give away 300 energy crystals at once, even among family members, was truly unprecedented.

Pei Nansheng was so engrossed in absorbing the energy crystals that he neglected Xiao Hao and Xue Ye's training.

Xiao Hao was very frustrated. His older brother and sister had all awakened their superpowers, but he couldn't.

The little guy is preoccupied and hasn't been able to muster any energy for several days.

Zuo Ling comforted him:

"Those who can awaken superpowers are already a minority. If Xiao Hao trains well after his brother's instruction, many adults will not be able to beat you. That's pretty good."

Whether his inner conflict was resolved or not is unknown, but since then, Xiao Hao has trained even harder, increasing his own training volume without needing anyone to supervise him.

Including the energy crystals from before, Zuo Ling now has:

There are 3990 cyan energy crystals, 3567 orange energy crystals, 2745 yellow energy crystals, 3163 green energy crystals, 2805 blue energy crystals, 2182 red energy crystals, 1572 purple energy crystals, 730 black energy crystals, 399 white energy crystals, and 1 gold energy crystal.

A set of black and white Go stones, and 134 unusual stones (including a stone bed).

So rich she was practically rolling in money, and Zuo Ling was so beautiful she almost forgot who she was.

The wealth that cannot be expressed is truly frustrating.

The cyan energy crystals were too low-grade to meet Zuo Ling's needs. After absorbing the more than 300 cyan energy crystals containing ice energy, he set the others aside.

After absorbing 300 orange, yellow, and green crystals each, Zuo Ling directly absorbed the blue energy crystal.

Cyan represents water, orange represents earth, yellow represents light, green represents life force, and the attribute of the blue crystal is still unknown. Zuo Ling is looking forward to awakening a new superpower.

After absorbing 10 blue energy crystals, Zuo Ling's body reached saturation once again.

After taking a look, I didn't notice any new changes.

After a slight setback, Zuo Ling quickly forgot about it and put her energy back into farming and cooking.

The barley is growing well and will be ready for harvest in just over a month.

The vegetable garden was thriving, even more colorful and verdant than the small vegetable garden He Guiqi had seen.

It's really boring to have vegetables all over the garden with no one to share them with. Zuo Ling misses the days at the base.

We were busy weeding and picking early-maturing vegetables like lettuce, bok choy, and scallions, but we enjoyed the process.

Woof, woof, woof, woof, barking wildly in the snowy night.

Stopping what she was doing, Zuo Ling stood up, supporting her waist.

About 500 meters away, there were several Tibetans, a dozen sheep, and two sheepdogs.

It bared its teeth and lunged forward in the snowy night.

Xiao Hao ran over with his gun. Upon seeing the situation, he immediately pulled the bolt and fired, bang, bang, bang, the bullets hitting the ground half a meter away from the Tibetans, warning them not to go any further.

The sheep scattered in fright, one sheepdog chased after them, while another stood guard beside the Tibetan man, also adopting an attack stance.

The Tibetan man they had met earlier raised his hand above his head to indicate that they meant no harm, and then took a few more steps forward.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, Xiao Hao fired several more shots, hitting the man's feet.

Zuo Ling watched coldly. The two sides lived not far apart, and the lush greenery on their side of the mountain could not escape the eyes of the Tibetans.

They came only to ask for something, or to see if they could get something for free.

I have some, but I don't want to give them to you!

Zuo Ling hadn't forgotten that when she first arrived, the Tibetans told her about the strange winds, but they didn't tell her where they were, and they watched as she entered the danger zone.

If it weren't for her life-saving methods, she would have been dead long ago.

They see something profitable and shamelessly try to take advantage of me, but why should I give them any face?
