Chapter 82
"Is this a crystal stone?"
Tang Yu'an stretched out his hand, and Xi Teng placed the blue crystal on his palm.
Then, the tendrils of the vines wrapped around his fingers, and a feeling of joy and gratitude was transmitted to him, which infected Tang Yu'an.
It seems that the mutant vine is really happy after cleaning the room.
Tang Yu'an looked down at the crystal in his hand and found that this one was bigger than the one Old Li gave him.
He was not surprised why Emerald had a water-type psychic stone. After all, he had picked up crystal stones in glass bottles before.
It's not uncommon to find emeralds.
"So, is this a gift for me?" Tang Yu'an asked.
Xi Teng touched his cheek affectionately to express his affirmation.
Tang Yu'an did not refuse, but gladly accepted the gift. Then he smiled and showed the crystal stone to Zhou Qi.
"Look, Xiaoqi, the emerald was given to me!"
"Um."
Zhou Qi nodded. After seeing the interaction between Tang Yu'an and the mutant vine with his own eyes, he finally had a better impression of this strange plant.
As for this crystal stone...
The parasite in his body was apparently active for a moment, but probably knew it couldn't control him, so it quickly became silent again.
"The red dot on the map has also disappeared!" Tang Yu'an said happily.
After he took it in as a pet, the red light spot of the mutant vine on the map did not disappear, which meant that its danger had not been completely eliminated and it could erupt at any time.
And at this moment, after Tang Yu'an helped it truly solve the problem, it finally calmed down completely.
Correspondingly, the red dot displayed on the map also disappeared.
Maybe plants are inherently peaceful, and only become violent when provoked—
If he were to stay in such a foul-smelling environment for a long time and unable to leave, Tang Yu'an felt that he would go crazy.
Thinking of this, Tang Yu'an felt a little distressed.
But emerald is not an animal after all. If it leaves its familiar environment rashly, we don’t know whether it will cause problems for its growth, so we still can’t take it away casually.
"If you can bear with me for a few more days, I will come here every day to clean up and try to make this place spotless as soon as possible."
The thin vine moved closer to Tang Yu'an again and rubbed his face affectionately with its leaves.
"Brother Xiaoqi, let's go back."
Tang Yu'an looked at the time and found that it was already late, so he decided to go back to the grocery store first. Of course, before leaving, he still comforted the mutant vine.
"Emerald, we'll see you again tomorrow."
The mutant vine held his hand reluctantly, but after Tang Yu'an insisted on leaving, it did not try to keep him.
Soon, Zhou Qi carried Tang Yu'an out of the swimming pool.
The setting sun is already hanging in the sky, and the warm orange light is shining on the earth.
Feeling the wind blowing towards him and breathing the fresh air, Tang Yu'an couldn't help but squint his eyes in enjoyment.
The evening in a deserted city always seems particularly quiet.
Of course, this is because they have cleared out all the dangerous creatures in the vicinity.
"I gained a lot this time!" Tang Yu'an said happily, hugging Zhou Qi's neck.
Just by completing the task of clearing the monitor lizard's nest, you can get a lot of rewards.
Zhou Qi also slightly curled the corners of his mouth.
This harvest was indeed unexpected, especially the mutant vine. It was a pleasant surprise that I was able to successfully pacify it and keep it as a pet.
"There should be crystals where the emerald is." Zhou Qi said.
I don’t know how many years it has been awake. If there is a flood every year, the mutant vine should have collected a lot of good things.
"Haha, then if you need it next time, just ask Emerald for it!"
Of course, even if Emerald didn't give them the crystals, Tang Yu'an would continue to clean the swimming pool. This was what they had promised.
He also looked forward to turning the swimming pool into a fish pond so that he would no longer have to worry about having meat to eat.
Not long after, Zhou Qi carried Tang Yu'an back to the grocery store.
Wangcai and Yinbi ran out to greet them enthusiastically, and then...
yue——
Yesterday, Wangcai fell into hibernation after licking the blood of a dark green spider, so this was the first time it smelled the strong stench coming from its owners.
The poor little orange cat couldn't help but vomit.
The experienced Silver Coin held its breath in time, but the look in its eyes when it looked at Tang Yu'an and the others was obviously strange.
Why do the owners fall into the cesspool every day?
Is it some special hobby?
Tang Yu'an: "..."
Zhou Qi: “…”
Tang Yu'an couldn't stand the stench on his body, and since the purification technique had been used up, he had to rush into the bathroom to take a shower.
Zhou Qi took off his coat, endured the strange looks from the two little ones, and waited silently.
They used up more than 100 points today just for taking a shower. Fortunately, they had plenty of points, and finally had 7654 points left.
and……
[Employee "Xiao Cao" completed a profitable transaction with a regular customer, earning +10 points and +1 experience point]
【Employee "Xiao Cao"...】
While they were taking a shower, Xiaocao's profitable trading reminders popped up from time to time. It must be because night was coming and the temperature was dropping, and she and Shitou's business opened again.
This little girl is really hardworking. In comparison, Chi Hao, who has also arrived at Jufeng Mountain, was despised by Tang Yu'an for a while.
As a person with mid-level abilities, he shouldn't have to worry about being robbed, so why doesn't he know how to make deals on the road?
Those guards should know him too, and they could definitely become his customers!
No wonder the ability rating is only C.
Tang Yu'an couldn't help himself in the end and sent Chi Hao a guidance task, asking him to trade with the mountain people along the way. Finally, after half a day, he received a profitable transaction reminder.
He couldn't help but shake his head.
As night fell, Xiaocao's profit reminders stopped.
This time, she attracted a total of 25 customers, earning Tang Yu'an 258 points and 52 experience points.
Tang Yu'an looked at the experience bar: lv8 (148/160).
Yay!
You can level up again tomorrow.
Tang Yu'an walked towards the warehouse happily. Just as she was about to check on the lizard eggs that had been transferred back, she smelled a foul odor as soon as she opened the door.
He quickly closed the warehouse door, then opened the inventory function, separated the lizard eggs, and transferred the remaining filth into his portable warehouse. Finally, he stopped smelling the stench.
"Wangcai! Silver Coin! Come and help me."
Then Tang Yu'an called the two little ones and took them to the back of the house to dig a big hole together, buried the filth in the soil, and then returned to the house.
When he opened the super-capable container again, he saw shiny and translucent lizard eggs inside.
It’s such a great sense of accomplishment!
Tang Yu caressed the lizard eggs and planned to put the freezer in the warehouse to absorb heat after upgrading it tomorrow. This would ensure that the lizard eggs would not die or hatch due to high temperature.
He didn't want to come home one day and see a house full of little lizards.
After experiencing a battle with the female lizard, Tang Yu'an now has a strong resistance to lizards and has completely given up the idea of keeping a lizard as a pet.
What's more, he doesn't have any extra pet slots now.
The area of the super-capable container is 2x5 meters. The 40 lizard eggs are placed vertically on one side of the container, occupying less than 1 meter of the ground.
However, looking at the space above the lizard eggs, Tang Yu'an still felt it necessary to bring in an ordinary cabinet.
["Container" upgrade completed, please check]
At this time, a system prompt popped up.
[The furniture elf Yaya was very satisfied with your hospitality and gave you a five-star rating]
[Warm Tips: Furniture that receives five-star praise from the elves will have a chance to trigger additional effects, so please pay attention to it.]
Wow! The container has been upgraded too!
Tang Yu'an hurried to the front of the shop and saw that the shelves had been completely renovated.
The old container has turned into a bright green hue. In addition, some dark red background patterns extend from the bottom of the outer side of the container, giving it a playful yet mysterious texture.
There was only a ceramic bowl in the empty cabinet, and the red bean soup in the bowl was gone.
Wow, Yaya accepted his red bean soup!
When Tang Yu'an saw the empty bowl, he couldn't help but cheer happily, and then he had the mind to check the properties of the upgraded container.
【Green Container】
[Level: lv1]
【Dimensions: 2 x 1.2 x 0.8 (unit: meter)】
[Description: A very sturdy cabinet, capable of bearing 1,000 kg. Even bullets cannot penetrate it. Seeds placed in the lowest compartment have a chance of mutating.]
Special Effect: "Red Beans Grow in the South"
When red bean seeds are present in the container, the container will emit heat until the temperature stabilizes to the optimal growth temperature for the red beans.
Tang Yuan: 0.0
After carefully reading the description again, Tang Yu'an's eyes lit up when he looked at the container again.
A special effect that releases heat!
It not only has a control "switch", but also can stabilize at a temperature that is just right for the growth of red beans.
This is perfect for use in the wasteland at night!
It was almost seven o'clock in the evening, and the temperature had dropped by more than ten or twenty degrees. Tang Yu'an put on thick clothes as soon as he came out of the shower.
The temperature will drop even lower late at night.
As the indoor temperature drops, the refrigerator's heat absorption effect slowly stops and automatically switches to electricity.
However, due to the low temperature at night, the refrigerator does not play a big role, so it does not consume much electricity.
To help potted plants cope with the cold at night, they cover the plants with a layer of cotton cloth and turn on a heating lamp underneath.
However, now, if this container can really release enough heat, then there would be no need for such trouble!
Tang Yu'an quickly ran to share the good news with Zhou Qi.
"Red beans grow in the south?"
Although Zhou Qi noticed that the bowl of red bean soup had decreased when he just came back, he never expected that it would trigger such a special effect.
He quickly pulled Tang Yu'an back to the cabinet, cleaned the empty bowl, and then filled a bowl of red beans and put it into the green container.
Instead of closing the cabinet door, they stood by and waited patiently.
Sure enough, within a few seconds, the container compartment that had originally felt cold gradually became warm.
Zhou Qi touched the outside of the container and found that it was still about the same temperature as room temperature.
However, because the cabinet door was open, they could already feel the obvious heat coming out of the cabinet.
About five minutes later, Tang Yu'an, who was standing next to the container, already felt a slight warmth.
He couldn't help but take off his coat.
Zhou Qi felt the change in room temperature and nodded, "This container can indeed be used as a heater."
In just five minutes, the room temperature has risen by at least four or five degrees, and it should be able to rise further later.
"Hmm, so let's move the plants to the front, shall we?"
After sorting, most of the goods with expiration dates have been transferred to Tang Yu'an's portable warehouse, leaving a lot of space in front of the shop.
Since it probably won't be open to the public for the time being anyway, why not move the potted plants from the back room here?
After all, the space in the back room is not big to begin with, and after piling up the potted plants, there is no room left even to step forward.
"good."
Zhou Qi had no objection.
So, they began to use the skills of remote delivery to transfer the potted plants one by one to the front of the shop, and finally even put them directly into the Yinglv container.
Anyway, the Yinglv container has a strong load-bearing capacity and is more than enough to hold these potted plants. The warm environment in the container is perfect for these plants that originally grow in the south.
During the day, you may need to move to a place with light near the window.
"That's great! With heat-absorbing refrigerators during the day and heating cabinets at night, the temperature in the grocery store can always be maintained at a comfortable level!"
Zhou Qi nodded, then checked the time and said, "I'm going to make some meat and egg pancakes for Lin Zhen."
Tang Yu'an then remembered the commission he had agreed to from Lin Zhen during the day. He admired this Sister Lin from the bottom of his heart.
If she had not taken the huge risk to explore the monitor lizard's lair and opened up a safe route to the swimming pool, they might not have ventured into the swimming pool and naturally there would have been no subsequent gains.
These lizard eggs are what Sister Lin deserves. Making them more delicious for her is their way of repaying her.
Zhou Qi prepared the materials skillfully, and Tang Yu'an assisted him.
Soon, they prepared the meat and egg pancake for Lin Zhen, and they also took out a lizard egg to make it themselves, so that they could eat it whenever they wanted.
A lizard egg is quite heavy, so I made fifteen meat pancakes. But only the meat was used up, and there was still some egg liquid and batter left.
Zhou Qi thought about it and simply spread the remaining ingredients into a wild vegetable omelet... No, it should be a wild vegetable lizard omelet?
Tang Yu'an cleaned the biscuit box provided by Lin Zhen, covered it with large leaves, and then put the prepared egg pancakes in, filling the box up.
The remaining parts that cannot be packed can only be wrapped and tied with large leaves.
After the task was completed, he put it in his personal storage, waiting to give it to Lin Zhen the next morning.
After finishing his work, Tang Yu'an collapsed on the sofa.
Zhou Qi looked at his face and made sure he didn't have a fever from being frightened, then he said, "Would you like some yogurt?"
"OK!"
Tang Yu'an immediately perked up, took the yogurt he handed over, inserted the straw and took a deep sip, then remembered something and took out a book from his personal storage.
"Eggs on the Tip of the Tongue".
It's the reward for completing the task of clearing the monitor lizard's nest today!
Tang Yu'an sat down next to Zhou Qi, then turned the pages of the book and started reading with him.
It's called a book, but it's actually a recipe.
This book records the methods of cooking various eggs, including lizard eggs. However, the recipes do not record how to make the eggs delicious, but rather...
“So many strange effects!”
There are those that restore qi and blood, strengthen physical fitness, increase strength... There are all kinds of functions. Of course, the materials required are also strange, and Tang Yu'an doesn't recognize most of them.
"Strengthen the Yang Po? What is Yang Po?" Tang Yu'an saw the term and scratched his head in confusion.
Zhou Qi's expression was strange for a moment.
"Maybe it means a strong soul," he said vaguely.
"oh oh!"
Tang Yu'an nodded. "These effects all look great. It would be great if they could be successfully made."
Zhou Qi nodded.
An An is not a person with special abilities, and his physical condition is obviously poor. He catches a cold and fever every other day. It would be good if he could eat some food that can enhance his physical condition and strength.
"Let's pay more attention. Perhaps these materials can be purchased in the plane store."
Tang Yu'an nodded, but did not rush to the plane store to check.
After all, we don’t know how many points it will cost to build a branch, so we should save the points for now and wait until the branch is built.
"We'll decide on the branch address tomorrow."
Zhou Qi said, "Once we have determined the location, we will ask Pasig to come over and renovate and reinforce it, and we will try to complete the construction before the flood comes."
"Yeah, okay."
Tang Yu'an nodded in response, quickly flipped through the recipe, put it into warehouse No. 2, and then opened the panel of the lucky wheel.
"Including the mission rewards, there are four chances to draw lots today!" Tang Yu'an said.
Zhou Qi nodded, "Let's smoke them all."
Although the probability of getting something good decreases the more times you draw, it is only relative to the 100% winning rate :)
Zhou Qi has already started to guess whether he will win a skill or a special item today, of course it could also be magical furniture.
Soon, the results of the first lottery came out.
"Wow, I won 150 points!"
This amount is not much, but it can be exchanged for a lot of things, so Tang Yu'an still feels very happy.
Zhou Qi nodded. It was expected that he didn’t win anything good the first time.
"Keep smoking."
"good!"
Result for the second time: [Congratulations! Earn 10 points]
Tang Yu'an's expression suddenly fell, "It's only 10 this time, so little..."
Zhou Qi said calmly: "It doesn't matter, next time it will definitely be something good."
"Uh-huh!"
Tang Yu'an blew a breath on his palm, then clicked the lottery button. This time, he kept repeating "special props, special props" in his mind, and finally...
[Congratulations! You've acquired the special skill "Purification Level 1"]
[Detected to have the same skill, this reward is converted to skill level +1]
[Purification upgraded to level 2, details can be found in the skill panel]
"Wow! Brother Xiaoqi, you guessed it right. I really got something good this time. My purification skill has been upgraded to level 2." Tang Yu said happily.
Zhou Qi: ...smile.jpg
"Let's take a look at the effects of the upgraded skills." he said.
"good!"
The experience in the swimming pool in the afternoon has proved that this is not a useless skill that can only be used for cleaning. At least this skill will be very useful before the swimming pool is thoroughly cleaned.
Tang Yu'an clicked on the skill list to check.
Purification Level 2
Attributes: Magical skills.
Level 2 effect: Removes filth, purifies evil spirits, and doubles the range of effect.
Limit: Can be used 10 times per day.
Today's remaining: 10
The original effective range was four or five meters in diameter, but after doubling it, it is close to ten meters, which greatly improves the cleaning efficiency!
"Great! This way Emerald can be freed sooner."
Zhou Qi nodded.
"There's only one spin left on the Lucky Wheel... I just drew a skill, so there shouldn't be any more good stuff coming out, right?" Tang Yu'an said.
Zhou Qi thought that might not be the case...
Tang Yu'an began the final lottery draw. The pointer kept turning and finally stopped at...
[Congratulations! You've won the special skill "Levitation Level 1." For details, please visit the skill panel.]
Wow!
"Brother Xiaoqi, I drew a new skill again!" Tang Yu'an said in surprise.
Although he had expected this, Zhou Qi's expression still froze when he heard that Tang Yu'an had won something good again.
"What skill did you draw?" he asked.
"It's levitation."
Tang Yu'an opened the skill panel and shared the newly acquired skill information with him.
[Floatation Level 1]
Attribute: Magical skills
Level 1 effect: Releases a gust of wind force, causing the target to float three meters in the air.
The duration is 120 minutes and can be used 3 times a day.
Remaining times: 3
"So I can fly now?" Tang Yu'an said in surprise.
Zhou Qi wrote down the skill effect he described, then stroked his chin and said, "I guess it's still different from real flying."
"Shall we try outside?"
"good."
However, before leaving, Zhou Qi asked Tang Yu'an to find a bundle of ropes, and then they went to the open space in front of the grocery store together.
Yuanbao had returned a long time ago. Seeing them go out, he followed them with his two younger brothers.
The three little ones squatted at the door of the grocery store, looking at Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi.
Tang Yu'an opened the map and checked. He saw that there were no dangerous creatures around the grocery store and no trace of humans. Only then did he feel relieved.
Zhou Qi tied one end of the rope around Tang Yu'an's waist and nodded to him.
"Okay," he said.
"Okay!"
Tang Yu'an then used the levitation technique on himself.
He felt as if his body was wrapped in a gust of wind, light and floating, without any feeling of heaviness.
The next moment, Tang Yu'an's feet left the ground.
His body floated upwards.
"Brother Xiaoqi, look! I really flew!" Tang Yu'an said excitedly.
Zhou Qi nodded, and was infected by his laughter, with a smile on his face.
But soon, a night wind blew over, and Tang Yu'an, who was originally floating slowly upwards, was blown by the wind, and his body suddenly went uncontrollably along with the wind.
"Brother Xiaoqi!"
Tang Yu'an screamed in fright.
Fortunately, Zhou Qi firmly grasped the rope tied to him, so that the wind did not blow him away.
As the rope tightened, Tang Yu'an finally stopped in the air.
He flapped his wings in the air, but found it difficult to control his body. It was completely different from how he had imagined flying.
Soon, the wind changed direction again, and Tang Yu'an flew out of control in another direction. Fortunately, Zhou Qi pulled him with a rope.
Tang Yu'an tried in the air for a while and finally learned to use the force of the rope to control his body.
But his "flying" is still controlled by the wind.
After struggling for a while, Tang Yu'an felt tired. He looked down at Zhou Qi on the ground and suddenly said, "Brother Xiaoqi, you look like you're flying a kite."
Zhou Qi, who had been looking at him nervously, was stunned when he heard the words, and then burst out laughing.
Indeed, he looked like he was flying a kite.
But he flew the cutest "kite" in the world.
