Chapter 32 Harvesting Black Fungus
The pure energy entered her body through her mouth and was then absorbed. Rong An swallowed what was in her mouth and looked at Bo Chuan with bright eyes. "It has reached level four. It is pure food without any impurities or contamination."
Gu Qing had already registered on the computer and took out the energy box to pick more. Hearing what he said, she added, "These can be dried and stored for a long time. When you want to eat them, you can just soak them in water."
Then I realized that people here pay more attention to the energy that food can provide. I continued, "But I wonder about the energy content of rehydrated black fungus."
"We can try it out." Bo Chuan nodded thoughtfully. Zhu Jian spoke first, and looked back at him with some surprise.
Gu Qing didn't pay attention to the fact that he was the one speaking, as she was completely absorbed in the joy of harvesting. Moreover, plucking the black fungus off the tree one by one to reveal the original appearance of the tree trunk underneath was particularly stress-relieving.
This tree is really big, probably so thick that it would take two or three people to hug it. Before it was cut down, the trunk was either intact or hanging in the air, and it was covered with black fungus.
However, after the dead tree trunk was cut down and fell to the ground, the black fungus on one side was completely ruined, which made Chen Xingheng regret it for a long time.
"This destroyed almost a third of it! This is a level four pure energy food, and with such a long tree trunk, the loss of credits and points is considerable."
As he spoke, he shook his head regretfully, "Those three are so careless. They really don't pay attention at all and don't know how to manage their money."
Zhang Ze couldn't stand his sly remarks. "If I remember correctly, you came over by stepping on this tree trunk, didn't you? Look at those big footprints over there, they crushed a whole box of black fungus."
He pointed to the obvious large footprint, on which the black fungus had been crushed into a paste.
Chen Xingheng was taken aback by what was said. When he came to his senses, he took two steps in this direction and grabbed Zhang Ze, his hand gripping Zhang Ze's shoulder.
"Brother, you're quite observant." Then he smiled and looked at Gu Qing, "Master Gu, I was in a hurry just now and acted a bit rashly. Please don't be angry."
Gu Qing looked up and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "What's the big deal? If we don't test it, how will we know this thing is edible? We're already very grateful that you came to our rescue and left us unharmed."
Chen Xingheng's smile widened, and he took a step closer. "Master Gu is truly magnanimous; she deserves to be called beautiful inside and out."
If you'd like to gather resources, I can take you during our vacation. I'm a high-level player, my spirit form is a White Tiger, and my combat power is top-notch.
You will absolutely not be in any danger.
Gu Qing turned around and smiled at him, "Okay, let's arrange to go out and gather resources together when we have time. I'll rely on your protection. After all, my talent level is practically nonexistent."
Chen Xingheng waved his hand magnanimously, "Purifiers aren't meant for fighting. Isn't protecting you our duty as fighters?"
"Don't worry, just call Rong An. His spiritual form is a harpy eagle; not only is he strong in combat, but he can also carry you into the sky to avoid attacks in crucial moments."
"Really? That's amazing! How does it compare to the eagle from before?" Her words left Chen Xingheng speechless again.
He glanced quickly at the battalion commander, and when their eyes met, he quickly looked away, then coughed to ease the awkwardness by pressing his fist to his lips.
"Of course, it's because our boss's eagle is more powerful. After all, our boss is a 2S-level combatant, and his spiritual body has been enhanced by the metal element."
"His combat strength ranks among the top in the entire interstellar space; Rong An is still too young and can't compare."
Everything was going well until that last sentence really annoyed Bo Chuan. What did he mean by saying Rong An was too young? He wasn't that much older than Rong An, and besides, he was more talented than Rong An.
Despite the turmoil in his mind, he maintained an indifferent expression, and apart from the familiar bamboo slips, no one else could glimpse a trace of him.
But Zhu Jian was someone who loved to stir things up. Hearing this and seeing his good brother's slightly sullen expression, he came over with a grin.
"Indeed, Xiao Chenzi is right. A-Chuan not only has a high level of spiritual power, but his combat strength is also among the best in interstellar space. Although he is a bit old, his merits outweigh his flaws..."
"Alright, alright, enough of that. Let's hurry up and finish packing so we can head back. It's getting late."
Bo Chuan couldn't let them keep talking, or he'd be buried up to his neck. Heaven knows he was not even 30 years old.
Bo Chuan was always serious, and no one would disobey him, at least not in the legion he led.
So everyone sped up their work, picked and packed all the black fungus, and then organized the group to go back.
Gu Qing had just finished grooming the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog when it came over and rubbed against her legs. Gu Qing gave it a good pat on the head, and then, seeing it lie down, she rolled over and climbed onto it.
The Czech wolfhound stood up and looked at everyone with an arrogant gaze. The cat and the red panda also came over and stretched on the ground, standing guard on either side.
Everyone else was stunned by what they saw, and in the end, they looked at Li Liang and the other two with envy, jealousy and hatred.
What they were thinking was that, regardless of their actual abilities, these three were far superior at flattery and sycophancy, something those of them on the front lines couldn't match.
Bo Chuan and Zhu Jian saw this scene but said nothing. With a command, the people walked back. They were all broad-shouldered and long-legged, and they walked through the dense forest as if it were flat ground.
His speed was no slower than hers when she ran; it was due to the difference in height and physical fitness.
After driving for a while, Chen Xingheng came over and talked to her again. Gu Qing understood what he meant, but she didn't dislike him.
He was left to wander around him.
