So when Shen Qing came to the end of the world again, he felt that something was very wrong with Song Kaiji. He was usually a cheerful and talkative person, but today he was unusually silent, and even - Shen Qing didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that Song Kaiji was avoiding him, and even pushed the work that he was supposed to assign to him to Qu Weiwei.
Shen Qing:?
They still met at the small shop where Shen Qing and Song Kaiji first met. Shen Qing thought this was a good idea. Song Kaiji had the ability of space, so it was easy for him to carry things. Why should he carry them for a longer distance? Shen Qing even planned to move the meeting place further towards the cave. Song Kaiji and Qu Weiwei could still ride their iron horses, but he couldn't.
Qu Weiwei saw that Shen Qing only brought a backpack today, and she was a little worried, thinking that she had just joined the team and encountered a time when the rich man was not available. When she lifted the cloth covering the basket, she saw that it was full of bacon and dumplings: !!!
This is the bacon that cost 30 or 40 yuan per pound before the end of the world! It is not the unpalatable mutant meat that is commonly seen on the market now. It is also salty: you have to know that in the end of the world, salt is also a scarce and in short supply!
Qu Weiwei's eyes lit up. She could imagine how popular this kind of bacon would be on the black market!
"These dumplings are for the two of you. Keep a piece of bacon. Sell the rest and exchange them for crystal cores." Shen Qing instructed, and then showed concern for Qu Weiwei: "How is your hand recently? Has it recovered?"
Qu Weiwei wanted to say that she was not well yet and just eat sick food for a few more days! She had eaten eggs to her heart's content for the past five days and even exchanged them for some other delicious food. However, under Song Kaiji's death glare, she still didn't dare to lie and said honestly, "I'm well now. Thank you for your concern, boss!"
She showed Shen Qing how flexible her arm was. "It's fine for normal activities, but it's a little worse than the other hand when using supernatural powers." Qu Weiwei said, and showed Shen Qing the same thing: her fingertips glowed with a faint green fluorescence, and then a vine as thick as a rolling pin grew out of thin air from the fluorescence, and in a few seconds it sprang out a few feet and hit the roof of the storefront. The PVC roof was immediately pierced by the tip of the vine.
Qu Weiwei held up her two hands to show Shen Qing the details: "The vine of the newly grown hand is thinner and a little less hard."
Qu Weiwei still found it quite strange. She had always believed that superpowers were something related to spirit and energy, but she didn't expect that they would be affected by physical fitness. According to this, if Shen Qing hadn't saved her and she lost her right hand, would only her left hand be able to release the single vine from then on?
Shen Qing saw that the vine on Qu Weiwei's right hand was about one-fifth thinner than that on her left hand. This was the first time he had seen a wood-related ability. Shen Qing was very surprised to see a vine growing out of thin air. "Can you only grow this kind of vine? Can you grow other plants?"
"It can only produce this kind," Qu Weiwei said. This is the same for all wood-type superpowers. The only difference is the thickness and hardness of the vines. The higher the level, the thicker the vines. I heard that when the level reaches a certain level, the vines can also fork and attack multiple zombies at the same time. But this would require very high control accuracy and require very hard practice.
"Also, I heard that when your supernatural power reaches level 4, you can find some seeds of other vines and stimulate them to grow at the same time. The vines stimulated by the seeds can also attack zombies, but the effect is a little worse than that of your natal vine." Qu Weiwei is almost level 4, but it is very difficult to find the seeds of this vine. It can be said that it is a once in a lifetime opportunity. If you know a researcher at the institute, you may be able to get one or two.
What counts as a vine? Do beans and loofah vines count? Shen Qing pondered for a moment, and then remembered that when Qu Weiwei was still unconscious, Song Kaiji had briefly told him about Qu Weiwei's work on the farm. "If you have seeds, can you also grow vegetables and grains?"
Qu Weiwei's eyes lit up: "Of course! Do you have any seeds?"
Seeds are rare! If there were seeds, why would these wood-type superpowers have to apply for jobs on the farm? Wouldn't it be better for them to grow vegetables, fruits and grains at home and sell them? But Hongcheng is a new first-tier city. It was very prosperous before the end of the world. It focused on finance, industry and culture, but not agriculture. It was very difficult for wood-type superpowers to get vegetable and grain seeds, so they could only go to the farm to work as cheap laborers.
If Shen Qing can get the seeds, she can induce labor at home while Song Kaiji goes out to sell vegetables. They can make a lot of money without leaving the base all day and will never lack crystal cores for cultivation!
That's right, if you can stay in the base, who wants to face zombies? Especially since Qu Weiwei is a girl - it's not that girls are more timid or less capable, but girls tend to be cleaner and find it harder to tolerate disgusting and bloody scenes.
Qu Weiwei can kill zombies. Not to mention that she has two life vines that can attack from a distance, before she awakened her superpowers, who could come to the Hongcheng base alive from somewhere else without killing zombies? She had participated in the baseball club before, which really helped her a lot. She danced with a steel bar with great vigor.
But when she saw the highly decomposed zombies, the strong visual impact and the smell of rotten meat still made her feel nauseous and want to vomit and hide. The rotten meat splashed on her made her even more crazy. It was like the southern cockroach. Even if it was a big cockroach the size of an index finger, could a 1.65 meter tall human not be able to beat it? In terms of force, you shouldn't be afraid of it at all, but in reality... you can kill it if you have to, and you can kill it well, but you still want to vomit after killing it...
After more than half a year in the apocalypse, Qu Weiwei still hasn't been able to adjust to her current state. To her, zombies are like human-sized cockroaches... Qu Weiwei's mind flashed that image and she dry-heaved again.
Shen Qing: ? ?
They are all so weird today?
"I think so. I'll go look for it." Shen Qing said. Of course he had it. If he needed anything, he could just go to other families in the village to exchange it. Every family in the village had a vegetable garden. Who wouldn't keep seeds? But he didn't want Qu Weiwei to think that he had everything or that things came too easily, so he said that.
Qu Weiwei looked at Shen Qing eagerly and nodded. Shen Qing was also quite happy with this. If he let Qu Weiwei help to grow vegetables and grains, he could save some effort: carrying a hundred kilograms of grain up the mountain time and time again was not an easy job.
As for whether they kill zombies or not, Shen Qing doesn't really care. As long as the result is to get crystal cores, improve superpowers, increase force, and no one dares to bully them, then what's the point of killing zombies in the process? Maybe there will be new recruits who love to kill zombies in the future, so they can kill them. Shen Qing respects the diversity of human beings.
Thinking of this, Shen Qing glanced at Song Kaiji: Based on his understanding of Song Kaiji, Song Kaiji is also the type who doesn't like to face zombies directly, right?
Qu Weiwei also followed Shen Qing's gaze and glanced at Song Kaiji. Ever since he came to the conclusion that he was a lowly person, he has been dejected and felt extremely guilty. Qu Weiwei secretly kicked him twice. Song Kaiji did not even open his mouth to report to Shen Qing. He could only force a smile and said to Shen Qing: "Boss, do you want to go to the city to take a look? We have done everything you asked us to do. The team has been registered, the house has been rented, and the previous food has been replaced with crystal cores."
Shen Qing nodded. He didn't know Qu Weiwei very well, but he was very confident in Song Kaiji's work. He had asked Song Kaiji to do a few things before, and they were all completed very well. Song Kaiji was a very serious and responsible person. Originally, Shen Qing didn't have to watch over it himself, but this was the first task he assigned to them after he accepted them. In order to prevent them from slacking off in the future, Shen Qing decided to go through the motions and then give them some praise appropriately.
Shen Qing learned on his own how to motivate employees.
Song Kaiji then reluctantly stepped forward and put away the basket of bacon and dumplings. He had been controlling himself not to look at the food basket for too long. He had to restrain himself from being greedy for Shen Qing's property! QAQ
Shen Qing finally couldn't help it and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you today? Are you feeling unwell? Are you sick? If you are sick, you must tell me. We have money and can afford a healing person."
Song Kaiji felt even more guilty.
