Chapter 152
The voice coming from the ball of light was lively and cheerful, like a little boy of seven or eight, no older than ten. The most important thing was...
Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi could both understand!
They looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
This is the language of their world. Although some pronunciations are not very accurate, it may be due to accent. They are very sure that this is Chinese.
But before they could confirm the plane number at the bottom of the bottle, the little boy's voice continued to ring out.
"I want to eat potato chips, I want to eat candy, and I want to fly a spaceship! Susu won't let me fly, and she still wants me to go to class. Those classes are so difficult, I can't understand them at all. I always feel sleepy in class..."
Flying a spaceship...
Tang Yu'an opened the bottom of the bottle and saw that the number was not MR168845.
He sighed, but the little boy's mumbling did not stop.
"This bottle is so small! Are you a spirit living in a bottle? Or are you the bottle?"
spirit?
What is that? Is it related to psionic powers?
"I really want to eat potato chips... You buy me potato chips, and I'll buy you Star Chain Fruit, okay?"
"It's just that the mouth of this bottle is a little small, the Star Chain Fruit can't fit in!"
However, Langze quickly thought of a solution.
"Hey, I put the Star Chain Fruit in the Spirit Storage Bag and then I can stuff it into the bottle! I'm so smart!"
Tang Yu'an looked at the ball of cloth in the bottle. Could this be the soul storage bag that Langze mentioned?
He struggled to take out the spirit storage bag and found that it was a yellow-green brocade bag with a few bamboos embroidered on it with silk thread.
“It’s quite pretty…”
Tang Yu'an opened the strap of the brocade bag, took a look inside, and then his eyes widened.
This soul storage bag is actually a space item!
The space inside was much larger than the spirit storage bag, and contained a lot of miscellaneous things, the most numerous of which was the flute.
Does this little boy named Langze like to play the flute?
Soon, Tang Yu'an saw two red fruits.
Is this the Star Chain Fruit that Langze mentioned?
He took one of them out, and as soon as it left the spirit storage bag, a sweet fruity fragrance filled the attic.
The emerald wrapped around Tang Yu'an's hair couldn't help but wave its vines, as if it was very interested in the Star Chain Fruit.
Tang Yu'an used the basic identification skill on the Star Chain Fruit.
[Name: Mutated Star Chain Fruit]
【Value: 30 points/each】
[Origin: KJ25668 plane]
【Named by: Unknown】
[Description: The fruit of the mutant Star Chain Vine is not special except for quenching thirst and satisfying hunger. The plant has the characteristics of rapid growth and its roots can enrich nutrients and transform the soil into black soil.]
0.0
Mutated plants that can accumulate nutrients!
"Brother Xiaoqi, is black soil particularly suitable for planting?" Tang Yu'an asked. He remembered seeing it on TV!
"Yes, black soil is rich in organic matter and has high fertility, making it very suitable for farming."
After hearing the accurate answer, Tang Yu'an looked at the mutant Star Chain Fruit in his hand, and his eyes became brighter.
"Then this Star Chain Vine is perfect for growing in the yard to increase soil fertility. It also grows quickly, and the leaves should be edible!"
Zhou Qi nodded, "It's really good."
Tang Yu'an took out another Star Chain Fruit from the spirit storage bag.
"I'll give it to Granny Guo and Kang Kang tomorrow!" he said happily, looking at the spirit storage bag in his hand.
"This little Langze is so careless. In order to give us the Star Chain Fruit, he actually sent us such a precious space prop as well."
There were also many personal items inside, so Tang Yu'an was sure that this was not a gift to him or for trading.
"Give him more candy and cookies."
There weren't many potato chips left at home, so Tang Yu put two bags into his spirit storage bag, and then grabbed half a bag of candy and biscuits and put them in.
After the brocade bag was tied up, it still looked deflated, and you couldn't tell that it contained so many things.
Tang Yu'an folded the spirit storage bag into strips and stuffed it into the drifting bottle like Langze did.
"Okay, I don't have that many potato chips anymore, so I'll give you more candy and cookies."
Tang Yu'an said to the bottle mouth: "Do you have any extra spirit storage bags? If so, I want to exchange one with you."
He thought for a moment and said, "If not, other plant fruits will do, please!"
Then he put the cork back on the bottle and threw it into the Dream Sea again, choosing to direct it to the KJ25668 plane, hoping that it would reach the little boy's hands as soon as possible.
Otherwise, he would probably be waiting anxiously, right?
-
A week ago.
KJ25668 plane, Earth.
"Brother Ayan, my spirit storage bag and flute were really stolen by a mysterious businessman!"
A little boy with a pair of furry ears was complaining to a blond young man. As he spoke, he felt so aggrieved that he was about to cry.
"I treated him to Star Chain Fruit, and he even stole my Spirit Storage Bag and flute. That's really too much!"
A Yan touched his head and made a gesture to silence him: "Be quiet, Su Su is still sleeping."
Langze was startled and immediately covered his mouth.
Seeing that the breeder was not woken up by him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Ayan..."
Before he could finish, a green flute appeared out of thin air in A Yan's hand.
The furry ears hanging on Langze's head suddenly stood up, and the big fluffy tail behind him began to shake rapidly.
"For me?"
"Um."
A Yan handed him the flute, then reached out and rubbed his furry ears. "I'll give you the spirit storage bag in a few days. Don't throw it away anymore."
"Wow!"
Realizing he was being too loud, Langze quickly covered his mouth and then excitedly lowered his voice and said, "Thank you, Brother Ayan!"
"If that mysterious businessman shows up again, you have to tell me and Susu right away, okay?"
"Yes! I will!"
A Yan then handed him the freshly fried taro slices and said, "Share it with the others."
"Okay~"
Langze tied the flute around his waist and ran away happily holding the taro slices.
Looking at his leaving back, A Yan withdrew his gaze, thought for a moment, and whispered: "Xiao Zhi."
A transparent screen appeared in the air.
"Retrieve abnormal monitoring."
A video quickly played on the screen. Langze was seen sitting on the bed with his hands clenched, talking to the air.
It looked like a disembodied performance; the surveillance camera didn't capture the bottle he was talking about, until...
The child rolled up the spirit bag and tried hard to stuff it between his clenched fingers.
As a result, the spirit storage bag disappeared.
Ah Yan frowned. Was it some new monster? It only wanted the magic weapon but didn't harm the cubs?
"Xiaozhi, continue to keep a close watch."
【receive. 】

After dinner, Tang Yu'an opened the interface of the Lucky Wheel.
Because the Kyoho Grocery Store suspended business, Xiaocao and Shitou stayed in Store No. 1 for safety reasons and were unable to attract new customers.
So he had to use up a daily refresh card in the morning and changed the task of "attracting new customers" to "developing old customers."
In addition, all the new residents today have been developed into regular customers, which means that the daily tasks have been completed.
From the map, Tang Yu'an already knew that Jin Fu had gathered with the four people who blocked the road during the day.
They were mainly concentrated in the west of Jufeng Town. If it was really them who ordered the Jufeng Grocery Store to be robbed and burned, then Xiaocao and Shitou would be in danger if they returned to the town now.
So in the next few days, they may have to go to Jufeng Town in person to attract customers in order to complete their daily tasks and get the daily lottery draw number.
Under Tang Yu'an's gaze, the turntable pointer quickly stopped...
Congratulations! You've unlocked the "Wire" tech product. For details, visit the "Wholesale Market."
Wow, I unlocked a new item!
Tang Yu'an quickly opened the wholesale market to check.
As he upgraded, more and more products were unlocked, and he had discovered a pattern - the new products gained through upgrades were basically sold in grocery stores.
As for goods such as medicines and textiles, they can only be unlocked through lotteries.
The wire materials unlocked this time are also a large category, similar to textile fabrics, and there are even more types than textile fabrics.
【Cotton thread】: 10 points/bundle
【Available colors: black, white, gray】
【Unlockable colors: red, yellow, blue, green, cyan, purple, pink, brown...
Note: Every 10 points can unlock a color scheme, and each redemption can cost an additional 1 point to adjust the color depth.
【Cotton and linen thread】: 15 points/bundle
Yarn: ...
【Ice Silk Thread】: ...
【Lace Thread】：……
【Cloth Line】：……
【Plastic Thread】：……
Note: The default length of a bundle is 100 meters.
There is a dazzling array of all kinds of wires, which is really dazzling.
"Brother Xiaoqi, we won't have to worry about running out of thread when we make clothes in the future!" Tang Yu'an said with a smile.
"Um."
The grocery store didn't sell silk thread; they were using Aunt Tang's stock, which would soon be used up at the current rate of making clothes and quilts.
Zhou Qi was originally still worried about this problem, but he didn't expect that the "wire" drawn by An An was a perfect solution.
It was still early, so Zhou Qi took out his homework book and started to complete the homework assigned by Professor Tong.
Seeing this, Tang Yu'an could no longer play around. He obediently took out his exercise book and started doing his homework.
They don’t have the pressure of going to college now, but they still have to do homework. On the one hand, it can increase their knowledge reserves, and on the other hand, it can exercise their thinking ability.
They didn't stop studying until nine o'clock.
"Brother Chi Hao ran a long way." Tang Yu'an said after looking at the map.
After a day of traveling, Chi Hao had entered the fog again, clearing a long path on the completely black map.
He had stopped at this moment, probably to find a place to stay for the night.
He will have to spend the next month and a half on the road, so there is probably no way he can make any more deals.
But seeing how happily he was chatting with Shi Tou and the others on the message board, he didn't seem worried at all.
Tang Yu'an shook his head, left a message on the message board, then climbed up to the attic and opened Meng Hai's window.
He can fish out three bottles today!
Because he was worried about the Flame Stone, he took out the bottle of Gan Lin first.
Its brightness is brighter than other bottles, but dimmer than Xiao Hailan and the others' bottles, so it is easy to identify.
The ball of light floated into the air, and Gan Lin's voice rang out.
"Mysterious businessman...mysterious businessman..."
Hearing his call, Tang Yu'an responded, "I'm here."
Gan Lin's dream light ball was obviously much more stable than before.
He said happily, "You are here!"
"Well, how was your day today? Did you go collect fire stones?" Tang Yu'an asked.
"Yes! I collected two!"
"You're not hurt?"
Gan Lin paused before responding, "Yes, I'm not injured. Can I exchange the Fire Stone for water with you?"
"Okay, but do you need anything besides water?"
After Tang Yu'an's questioning, Gan Lin finally replied, "Food... I still need food, and medicine..."
"What medicine?"
"Stop the bleeding... Lao Mo lost a lot of blood..." The boy's voice was filled with tears, and the ball of light in the dream became unstable.
Is Lao Mo the green dot that always accompanies Gan Lin?
Tang Yu'an didn't have time to say more to him. He quickly picked out the good things and completed the transaction with Gan Lin before his dream was shattered.
[You completed a loss-making transaction with a dream wisher, experience points +6]
Seeing the system prompt, Tang Yu'an breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he made a loss, he did not care much. After all, in addition to medicine and water, he also gave a few potatoes in a hurry. Potatoes are of high value, so it is easy to make a loss.
I don’t know how Lao Mo got injured. I just hope he can get better soon and nothing happens to him.
Tang Yu'an prayed for Lao Mo, then took a biscuit box lined with tin foil from Zhou Qi's hand.
Only then did he take out the fire stone from his portable warehouse.
The two fire stones were only about the size of a fist. As soon as Tang Yu'an took them out, he felt a burning sensation, and it seemed that even the temperature in the attic had risen a little.
These two pieces of fire stones are bright red, with red sparks scattered on the surface. If you put a piece of tissue on them, they will immediately catch fire.
The paper towel was quickly burned to ashes, but the temperature of the fire stone did not drop.
"I wonder how long this high temperature can last?" Tang Yu'an used basic identification skills on the fire stone.
[Name: Flame Stone]
【……】
[Description: Stones transformed by excessive exposure to fire spirits can continuously emit heat until the heat dissipates, turning into a pile of powder.]
Such stone is only worth 30 points per pound, which is slightly higher than the hardwood charcoal sold in the wholesale market.
Zhou Qi looked at the description in the appraisal album and couldn't help but frown: "Fire Spirit..."
Tang Yu'an also noticed this description: "So the fire dragon that Gan Lin mentioned, raging above Yanlong Fort, is it the Fire Spirit?"
Zhou Qi shook his head: "I'm not sure, but it's likely true."
"I don't know if the spirit Langze mentioned is the same thing..."
Tang Yu'an muttered something and stopped paying attention to it. After all, Yanlong Fort was so far away from them and they couldn't get there for the time being.
He looked at the two fire stones and said, "I'll give them to Grandpa Li tomorrow and see how to use them for the residents at a cost-effective price."
In any case, fire stones are safer than burning firewood or charcoal. If they can last longer, they can be profitable even if they are rented out.
Tang Yu'an did not throw Gan Lin's bottle back into Menghai, because this would allow him to accurately retrieve his bottle.
-
In the ruins, in a relatively intact low house.
Gan Lin woke up from his coma and saw something appear beside him. The panic on his face was replaced by joy.
"Lao Mo, you are saved!"
The old man lying beside him weakly opened his eyes and looked at him, "You little bastard, are you awake?"
Gan Lin wiped away his tears and began to look at the things the mysterious merchant gave him.
"Alcohol, cotton, cloth strips, hemostatic powder... and erythromycin ointment!" Gan Lin cheered softly, "Old Mo, you really are saved! The mysterious merchant gave us so many goodies!"
He quickly came to Lao Mo, tore off the sleeve of his arm, and then cleaned his wound with alcohol.
Lao Mo frowned tightly, and despite the severe pain, he gritted his teeth and said nothing.
His wounds were not caused by sharp blades or beast bites, but were a dense mass of bleeding holes that looked terrifying.
This was when he was injured by a mutated cactus when he went out to look for fire stones during the day.
The mutated cactus will actively attack any creature that approaches. If it is hit by its thorny "palm", tiny holes will be left on the body.
These holes penetrate deep into the flesh and can easily lead to death if not treated promptly.
Based on Lao Mo's experience of survival in the wasteland, it would be impossible for him to get close to the attack range of the mutant cactus under normal circumstances.
But today someone tried to steal his water bottle, and while he was running away, he accidentally encountered the mutant cactus.
He was hit hard on the arm. When Gan Lin found him, he had already run out of the mutant cactus's territory and was lying on the ground dying.
As for the person who robbed him, he had been beaten beyond recognition by the mutant cactus.
I'm afraid that after a while, it will become the nutrients of the mutant cactus. These cacti probably rely on this method to survive in this desert-like land.
Gan Lin skillfully treated Lao Mo's wound. After sprinkling hemostatic powder on it, he bandaged the wound with a clean cloth.
He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he tied the knot.
"Once the wound stops bleeding, you can apply this erythromycin ointment."
Although his treatment was rough, it was a very rare treatment for the wastelanders who lacked medicine.
With Lao Mo's physical condition, he will definitely be able to get through it!
Gan Lin relaxed, then reached out and touched the back of his neck, muttering, "Lao Mo, you're too cruel, aren't you?"
Because of Lao Mo's injury, he really couldn't sleep, so he let Lao Mo knock him unconscious.
I didn’t expect that I could contact the mysterious businessman in this way and get so many medicines!
Lao Mo glanced at him and chuckled, "I'm so lucky, I've saved my life..."
Just now, when Gan Lin was still asleep, he was really desperate and felt that his life would finally end here today.
Unexpectedly, he survived again.
Lao Mo sighed in his heart, looked at the medicines on the ground, and whispered: "Bastard, put these medicines away well, they are all good things, they will be useful in the future."
"Everyone says my name is Gan Lin now!"
Gan Lin grumbled in dissatisfaction, picked up a piece of rag from the ruins, and wrapped up the remaining medicine.
Then he found that in addition to the medicine, there was also a 750ml bottle of water, and the empty plastic bottle and the fire stone in the biscuit box were nowhere to be found.
"Huh? What are these?"
Gan Lin picked up a potato and looked at it in the light of the fire dragon.
"It looks like a plant tuber." Lao Mo said.
"Oh, I think I even traded some food with the mysterious merchant! These should be edible!" Gan Lin said, "But how can I eat something so hard?"
Lao Mo thought for a moment and said, "Let's roast it over a fire and see how it goes."
Gan Lin took the tools and ran outside to look for fire stones. It was much more convenient to look for fire stones at night than during the day. As long as he saw sparks on the ground, he could run over and use tweezers to turn it over and find a piece of fire stone.
If Lao Mo hadn't gotten into trouble during the day, he would definitely have found more than two fire stones.
Gan Lin hurried back to the hut with the Fire Stone, put it in the biscuit box, and then put two potatoes in it.
About ten minutes later, a fragrance began to emanate.
Gan Lin endured the heat and poked the potato. Then his eyes lit up: "Wow! It's really become soft!"
He took out a potato, put it on the ground with a grin, and after it cooled a little, he couldn't wait to peel it and take a bite.
“Smells so good!”
Although it had no taste, Gan Lin felt that the yellow lump of earth was delicious because he was hungry.
"It's just a little choking..."
He took two sips of water and immediately sighed in comfort.
Lao Mo looked at him dimly, Gan Lin smiled, then fed him some water, and then peeled another potato and fed it to him.
"This mysterious businessman is such a good guy!"
Gan Lin couldn't help but say, "I'll go find more Fire Stones to trade with him tomorrow!"
Lao Mo looked at the rag bag on the ground and said thoughtfully: "We need to find a safer place."
Gan Lin disagreed, "Where is there a safe place in the wasteland?"
Lao Mo's eyes flickered slightly.
He looked at Gan Lin and said, "If we can't find a safe place, we'll have to recruit more people."
"Why?" Gan Lin was a little reluctant about the suggestion. "Can't it be just the two of us?"
"no."
Lao Mo said confidently: "I can't protect you, let alone these good things."
Gan Lin opened his mouth, but when he thought of Lao Mo lying in a pool of blood and dying today, he finally closed his mouth.
After a long pause he asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Let me think about it first..." Lao Mo closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
Gan Lin reached out and touched his forehead, then sat beside him holding the water bottle and ate the remaining potatoes along with the peels.
-
Deserted city, Ping'an Grocery Store.
Tang Yu'an watched Gan Lin's message in the bottle turn into a point of light and disappear, then he took out another bottle from the sea of dreams.
After the cork was opened, a familiar cry for help soon sounded from the ball of light.
"Save me...someone save me..."
Finally, he picked up Lao Xie's bottle again.
"The medicine you took last time didn't work? Why…"
Before Tang Yu'an finished speaking, he heard a startled voice: "Huh? Who's talking?"
