Zuo Qingya removed the protective shield and left the area. She used a cleansing spell several times before feeling better.
What Zuo Qingya didn't see was that after she left, the dense swarm of insects disappeared on their own, as if they had never been there.
Zuo Qingya changed direction and saw a lychee tree and its fruit. "There shouldn't be any bugs here, right?" Thinking of those long black worms, Zuo Qingya shuddered, shook her head, and turned the screen away.
I put my hand on the tree trunk, picked a few lychees, and put them on the product shelf. They're called "Sex-Changing Fruits," edible, and claim that eating them will change your gender for one hour. Huh? Does this mean eating them will turn you into a man?
Zuo Qingya tried one, and immediately after eating it, she felt changes in her body. Her breasts disappeared? And she grew a leg? It was too embarrassing to talk about!
Zuo Qingya ate another lychee, and her body returned to normal. She breathed a sigh of relief. It was a positively mutated plant; that was its function. Really? Uh? You all understand with just a glance?
Zuo Qingya stored all the ripe lychees into her consciousness space. Although it was difficult to say, she thought she might need them in the future. She decided to keep them for now.
After collecting them, we continued searching for positively mutated plants, feeling our way along the way. As for luck, it was neither good nor bad. We found very few positively mutated plants, only a few at most.
There are mutated fruits that cause gender changes when eaten, mutated tree sap that makes you invisible when applied to your body, and positively mutated plants that make your hair grow longer when you touch their leaves and fuzz. In addition to these, there is a type of leaf that turns your nails into manicures when you put the leaf on them. It adheres very well to your nails and lasts for one month. If you don't want it anymore, just cut off your long nails. However, the only downside is that the color is random.
It was getting dark when Zuo Qingya returned to the city. She didn't forget to bring some trash with her. When she walked to the street with the small general store, it was already full of people, all carrying some trash. They had come to exchange it for supplies. The people coming out of the store were all smiling. It was much more lively than the street Zuo Qingya had just seen, as if life had finally given them hope.
Ahead of Zuo Qingya was a man dressed in ancient costume. Do people still like cosplay these days? But Zuo Qingya felt like she had seen his clothes somewhere before. Oh! That's right, the group of cultivators she encountered in the secret realm were wearing the same clothes. Could this person be a cultivator?
That's too much of a coincidence! Could this person be here to seek revenge? After all, it was my mother and I who killed those people.
The man in front glanced at Zuo Qingya once before looking away.
Zuo Qingya could sense that her cultivation level was higher than that of the man in front of her, and that he was probably no match for her. A bracelet appeared on her wrist. This was a magical artifact given to her by her mother, called the Breath Concealment Bracelet, which could conceal one's cultivation level. Zuo Qingya wore it to conceal her cultivation level and ensure that she was just an ordinary person in the eyes of cultivators.
Only after doing these things did Zuo Qingya feel a little more at ease.
One by one, a long queue began to form behind Zuo Qingya. Zuo Qingya moved forward a bit, but the line was just too long. It felt like all the people in the city were here. Zuo Qingya even saw some people bringing straw mats. Were they going to queue overnight?
He Qinming, who was in line ahead of others, was getting impatient. He glanced at the long queue and sighed. He just wanted to see the shop that had appeared out of nowhere and go inside, but he didn't expect there to be so many people.
A man running up from the front, dressed the same as He Qinming, said, "Senior brother, stop queuing! It's incredibly long. We might be waiting for hours and it still won't be our turn. Let's go!"
In fact, people who don't lack food have the same thoughts as men. When they hear that there is still a long way to go, they give up. Some people left one after another, but some people didn't leave. For example, Zuo Qingya believes that if you are going to act, you have to play the whole role. You can't give up halfway. You have to adapt to local customs.
But many more people are starving. There are emaciated elderly people, malnourished children, and young people missing limbs. They are all ordinary people who survived the disaster. This is hope. In the future, they can also support themselves by scavenging garbage and will no longer have to go hungry.
After the storm comes the rainbow, and Zuo Qingya couldn't help but put many more items on the store.
It was six hours later when it was Zuo Qingya's turn. After exchanging her items, Zuo Qingya returned to her small house, bought a substitute, and entered her consciousness space. Now, Zuo Qingya really wanted to take a bath to relax her nerves.
Zuo Qingya placed a bath sponge in the tub, and instantly the tub was filled with bubbles.
"That feels so good!"
After taking a shower, Zuo Qingya turned on the TV and started watching a drama series.
She cast a cleansing spell on Tiger, then hugged him, ate some snacks, and watched TV. If only there were no disasters, she could continue staying at home and live a very comfortable life. Unlike now, she was too tired, having to cultivate, do missions, and fear that people would discover her secret.
"I miss my mom. Where are you, Mom?"
Meanwhile, the place where Zuo Haijia emerged from the secret realm was actually inside someone else's sect, and a fight had already broken out.
After calculating and confirming that Zuo Qingya was safe, he no longer had any concerns.
Yunshan Sect is a sect that existed before the disaster. However, as time went by, fewer and fewer people had spiritual roots, and there were not many people in the sect. At most, there were only a little over a hundred people. Although spiritual energy has now recovered, after so many years, the cultivation techniques have been almost completely lost. Being able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm is already the limit. Zuo Haijia could kill them instantly with a flick of her finger.
Meanwhile, Zuo Qingya was leisurely watching a drama, and fell asleep while yawning!
Around midnight, Zuo Qingya was half asleep when she heard a notification sound.
[Ding... Hello Zuo Qingya! The "Turning Trash into Treasure" game mission is about to begin. Please get ready!]
【5, 4, 3, 2, 1】
Before Zuo Qingya could react, she landed with a thud, raising a cloud of dust. She got up and discovered that her body had grown larger! And it was rock hard, making a metallic sound.
【Dear Advanced Mission Master, welcome to Advanced Mission (Beginner): Armor Awakening】
Earth has been invaded by an alien species, and humanity faces an unprecedented crisis. At this critical moment, a mysterious force awakens, granting some humans the ability to transform into armored warriors; they will become the last hope to protect Earth.
[Task 1: Rescue Dr. Danny King within three days.]
Task 2: Help Dr. Danny King awaken his armor.
As soon as the system notification ended, a tentacle lashed out at Zuo Qingya. Zuo Qingya sensed the danger and tried to dodge, but her body seemed to not react in time. She only took a step back, but was still injured by the tentacle.
