Chapter 257 Manta Ray
Just as Yun Qimu thought, Wu Xingyu wanted to get information in advance so as to make the best business strategy.
As for why he worked so hard, one reason was that he had an instinctive talent for making money in his blood, and the other was that he had an inexplicable emotion in his heart and he just didn't want to fall behind her.
Thinking of this, Wu Xingyu took a few beast-repelling incense pills from Yun Qimu, and then pulled Yuan An and Yun He, who looked like they were bored, and followed Tao Hongjing.
Tao Hongjing is indeed a medical expert with a deep understanding of identifying plants. They gained a lot in one night and actually discovered several things with strange properties and therapeutic effects.
For example, there is a tree called yellowthorn, which is short and inconspicuous with yellow flowers and cute round leaves, but its fruit is not so friendly. Eating it can cause infertility.
After Tao Hongjing came up with this guess with a 90% accuracy rate, Yuan An, who originally wanted to taste the fruit, was so scared that he choked on the spot. He had to ask Wu Xingyu to hold his belt and hit him upside down before he could spit out the fruit stuck in his throat.
Afterwards, his face turned pale and he said sadly that he would never dare to eat strange fruits again.
There is also a plant called Mao Mu, which bears red fruits that are more beautiful and pleasing than yellow thorns. Eating this fruit can improve physical fitness and increase strength points, which is similar to the strength cards that are drawn.
However, this kind of fruit can only add three points of strength attribute at most, and it will be useless no matter how much you eat. This result was obtained by the little white mouse Yunhe's personal experiment, and it has great limitations compared to the strength card.
Although Wu Xingyu felt regretful, he couldn't help but feel happy. Three strength points were very valuable.
After all, even if the appearance rate of strength cards is slightly higher than that of other cards, it is still very rare. Tonight they killed more than 10,000 monsters and only got five strength cards.
Wu Xingyu was calculating in his head, and had already figured out how to promote this kind of magnolia fruit in the future.
But considering that Yun Qimu might have fallen asleep so late at night, he could only suppress the urgency in his heart. He pressed the delete key with his slender fingers, deleted the words on the chat panel one by one with a paralyzed face, then pursed his lips and closed the chat panel silently.
Wait, wait, wait until she gets up tomorrow. We can't disturb her now.
He lowered his eyes, suppressed the urge to share with her, and took long steps to catch up with the three people in front.
In addition to these two trees, they also found a grass plant called Xuncao.
It looks even more inconspicuous, similar in shape to an orchid, with a square stem and red fruits smaller than a fingernail. However, only the leaves can be eaten, not the fruits. Eating the leaves can beautify and brighten the skin.
Once its therapeutic effects are known, there will definitely be a lot of beauty-loving people who will buy it, and it may even be more popular than the stronger Kaempferia fruit.
Wu Xingyu and Yuan An, who have been in the women's business, know very well who is the easiest to fleece. It must be those women. Knowing that this kind of Xuncao has such an effect, they will definitely rush to buy it.
This made Wu Xingyu and Yuan An miss the group of noble ladies in the empire who had nothing to do but love beauty care. The money in their pockets was the easiest to make.
In addition, some men may also like the effect of brightening the skin tone.
Especially those noble young masters, now the handsome guys with pretty faces are the most popular and sought after in the entire galaxy.
Although Wu Xingyu had a bad temper when he was in the Empire, he still managed to gain a lot of fans with his face.
And because he didn't let women get close to him and didn't say a word to beautiful women, he became even more admired by the noble ladies because they all had the dream of being the only woman by his side.
Well, let’s not talk about these for now. Anyway, Wu Xingyu was very happy about Xuncao’s discovery. This meant that he and she would have a lot of money.
It turned out to be the right decision to follow them out tonight. If it weren't for Tao Hongjing, how could they have discovered this treasure growing in the weeds, which looks inconspicuous but is actually worth a fortune.
After that, they walked around again, but did not find any other valuable plants. Instead, they found a lot of edible wild vegetables and fruits, but there were no additional attributes.
However, when they followed the stream to a large low-lying lake, they discovered a fish called the manta ray, which interested Tao Hongjing very much.
The texture on their backs was like that of a carp, they had a pair of bird wings, gray markings, a white head, and a red beak. They flew low over the water and did not attack when they saw them coming.
Unlike other monsters that attack people crazily when they see them, they seem to be quite sober, and their black fish eyes look somewhat smart.
They will only attack when they go down to catch fish, but more often they will run away, and at a very fast speed.
Sometimes it slips into the depths of the lake like a slippery fish, and sometimes it flies so high into the sky that people can't catch it even if they jump.
Wu Xingyu's time ability doesn't work on them. Yunhe awakened his strength ability, so he is definitely not as agile as the manta ray.
As for Yuan An, he has spatial abilities, but he is only at level B. He was able to come here this time thanks to Yun Qimu and the others.
And because of his lack of skills, he could only throw out small and slow space blades, and was completely unable to deal with the manta ray.
The three grown men played hide-and-seek with these flying fish and were fooled around. Wu Xingyu wanted to jump into the water and turn all the stingrays in the lake back into small fish.
But he didn't do that, because the rays were just small monsters in his eyes at this moment, and it was obviously not worth it to go into the water and get wet for them.
In the end, he could only look at the fat boy Yuan An with disappointment, with a fierce look in his dark eyes, and arranged a supernatural power training schedule for him in his mind.
It doesn't matter if you are not proficient in using the space blade, we can practice.
He practiced from five in the morning to ten at night and he just refused to believe that he couldn't become proficient.
Yuan An shuddered as if he sensed something, feeling as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast.
In the end, Yuan An luckily hit one of the stingrays, and Tao Hongjing stepped on the water and fished the fish back.
Yunhe and Yuanan excitedly applauded him and expressed their desire to learn the skill of floating on water from him.
Even Wu Xingyu was a little moved.
But Tao Hongjing was a man who made elixirs as his main job. He did not teach martial arts, nor could he teach them, so he righteously refused the idea of martial arts.
There was no other way, they could only pin their hopes on Yun Qimu, hoping that she could hire a hero who could teach people kung fu next time.
