Chapter 94 The Improper Dodder
The dodder vines seemed to be able to grow bigger or smaller. After Jiang Changyi recognized it, it curled up into a small ball and slipped into Jiang Changyi's arms.
"Oh my God, are you really the dodder plant I raised..."
Jiang Changyi still couldn't believe that the pot of wild grass that he had never cultivated could grow so... abnormal.
"Hmm...Yes, it's me, Master~"
Cuscuta's spiritual power suddenly connected with Jiang Changyi, and her voice was childish with a hint of... shyness?
"What on earth is going on?"
Jiang Changyi felt that his worldview had collapsed. The little wild grass turned into a vine monster, and it actually recognized him.
This mutated dodder became much thicker. Even if it could be enlarged or shrunk, it still looked like a huge lump in Jiang Changyi's arms.
Moreover, it feels very much like the popsicles I ate when I was a child. I remember that popsicle was called Green Tongue. After melting a little, it became soft and elastic.
Xu Shiqiao also felt that this matter was too unbelievable. He also knew about this pot of dodder. At that time, he thought Jiang Changyi would throw it away, but he didn't expect that it would become like this until now.
In short, Jiang Changyi took the pot of dodder away temporarily, returned to the car and drove to the base with everyone.
Upon learning of this, Zong Qiong became very interested in the dodder: "Plants are also organic life forms. I don't know how they react to spiritual energy, but its existence clearly proves that plants can mutate."
The look in his eyes that seemed to make him want to dissect Cuscuta for research frightened Cuscuta, and she shrank into Jiang Changyi's arms.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Jiang Changyi always feels that there's something strange when the dodder shrinks...★
But when I think about it, it's just a blade of grass, so it shouldn't be that serious, right?
Jiang Changyi continued to communicate with Cuscuta on the way, and gradually understood the cause and effect of the matter.
It turned out that after Jiang Changyi placed it in the lounge, it did not die and was growing well.
After the end of the world, it reacted to the spiritual energy that invaded the world, and slowly mutated, and even regained memories of its previous stay in the lounge.
(Wait… memories of being in the lounge? I think I know why this guy gives people such a strange feeling…)
(Damn it... Those people here often watch movies here, and sometimes they take advantage of the fact that no one is around to bring people back here to rest.)★
After the mutation, the dodder began to grow in a sneaky way, secretly capturing lone monsters to feed on, or picking up the corpses left behind by monsters.
Gradually, the dodder grew into what it is today.
Therefore, the group of people hiding on the rooftop of the Black Horse Club were able to survive until now, thanks to the dodder. After all, it also cleared out a lot of monsters nearby.
Chen Yonglong looked at Jiang Changyi's expression and couldn't help asking him, "Xiaoyi, you don't want to take it back to the base, do you?"
This thing looks weird, doesn't it?!
Fu Yiting's reaction was similar. After all, like Chen Yonglong, he had experienced the control of Cuscuta, and...
The dodder seemed to understand what they said and snuggled even tighter into Jiang Changyi's arms. Its vines were limp and even trembling, looking pitiful.
Moreover, when these elastic vines tremble, they look as funny as jelly.
Jiang Changyi thought there was no problem: "You can take it back. I should be able to contract this little thing, so there's nothing to worry about."
When the dodder heard this, the vines changed color, turning emerald green, and it looked very happy.
But Jiang Changyi went on to say, "Besides, this thing is very convenient for working. With so many hands, whether it's farming or feeding cattle and sheep, it should be very efficient."
Cuscuta: “?”
Cuscuta: No, my buddy is so talented, you're going to use me to farm and raise cattle?!
Jiang Changyi: What can I do? How about you come and hold Aunt He'er's hand?
So with Jiang Changyi's approval, Cuscuta became Jiang Changyi's new contract object.
“Pah pah pah!”
The dodder gently patted the vines, as if applauding itself.
Jiang Changyi couldn't help laughing at such an inappropriate scene: "This little thing is so funny, isn't it?"
Zong Qiong said lightly, "Yeah, it would be great if I could study it."
Jiang Changyi: "You'd better drain all the rune knowledge in Obatias's belly first."
When Zong Qiong heard about rune technology, he stopped talking.
After returning to the base, everyone naturally went back to their homes and looked for their mothers.
However, Chen Yonglong, Fu Yiting and Zong Qiong have all become Jiang Changyi's contracted parties. According to Zong Qiong, he does not plan to continue living in the original room.
"Why waste a room in the guesthouse when you can stay in your contract space?"
Zong Qiong has always pursued high efficiency and high utilization when considering issues, but he has been unanimously agreed by Chen Yonglong and Fu Yiting.
"I want to move into Xiaoyi's space too!"
What else could Jiang Changyi do? He certainly wouldn't refuse: "Okay, then you guys should think about what materials to use. You can cut down trees or use containers as a temporary solution."
"no problem."
They would be willing to dig the foundation even if they were asked to do so on site.
The last one was Xu Shiqiao. Jiang Changyi went back to the room with him, sat on the sofa and prepared to talk.
Xu Shiqiao looked at his younger brother quietly. The younger generation who used to be patient and strong-willed in his eyes, was now so dazzling that he made people feel distant.
Jiang Changyi's appearance is still very good. After becoming an awakened person, his physical fitness has improved, and his skin and body have changed, but he himself can't notice it.
Besides, this is the end of the world, and most people have trouble even filling their stomachs, let alone personal hygiene.
Jiang Changyi's clothes were very clean and new. Even after a night of camping and fighting, it did not affect his clean and neat feeling.
However, the biggest change in him is probably his confident and decisive aura, a trait that was not obvious in him before.
Jiang Changyi had indeed become more mature. He looked at Xu Shiqiao and said, "Brother Xu, it's the end of the world now. Do you have any plans? Like, reuniting with your family?"
Xu Shiqiao smiled bitterly and said, "Oh, family? I don't have any family. If I had family, I wouldn't even have to live in the clubhouse."
In fact, Jiang Changyi didn’t know much about Xu Shiqiao’s family. He only cared about his work in the club and was not interested in anything else.
"So, Brother Xu, do you want to stay in the base... or follow me?"
Jiang Changyi lowered his voice, his face solemn:
"Or, are you willing to trade your freedom for a safe and worry-free life?"
