Chapter 21 Gambler's Psychology, I'll pick the last one
Walking along the stream, I forget how far or near the road is.
Suddenly, I came across a peach blossom forest that stretched for several hundred steps along the bank.
There are no other trees in the place, the grass is fresh and fragrant, and the fallen petals are colorful.
Wen Ning was shocked by the scene before him and wondered if he had really accidentally entered the Peach Blossom Spring in the book?
What you see before you is a garden scene, with a square medicinal field in the middle, where five or six kinds of medicinal herbs are planted.
It is growing well and you can tell it is worth a lot of money just by thinking about it.
On the other side, there was actually a vegetable field.
The densely planted vegetables seemed as if there was no planned area for planting. Everyone was vying for space, leaving no land un wasted.
All of them are fully occupied!
At a glance, Wen Ning saw no less than 10 common vegetables, including potatoes, carrots and so on that she wanted to grow.
The two plots of land each occupy an area about half the size of a basketball court.
The periphery is also not idle, with various kinds of fruit trees surrounding the medicinal fields and vegetable fields.
Each tree is full of fruit.
It's as if the seasons don't exist here at all, and all plants are at their best harvest period.
“Oh my God!”
What a magical place this is!
This is just the outer edge of the forest ruins!
Wen Ning rushed into the vegetable field with a hungry stomach, like a homeless man who had been hungry for more than ten years.
I pulled out the tomatoes one by one and put them into my backpack along with their roots!
Pull the cabbage handful by handful!
One broccoli head is as big as her head!
Cabbage, radish, carrots, tomatoes!
Peppers, eggplant, squash, corn!
Cucumber, lemon, potato, taro!
Take away all the vegetables you see.
Then he turned around and rushed towards the medicine field. Although there were no red dots in this area, Wen Ning still identified them and chose to collect them.
The main reason is that medicinal herbs are not like vegetables. If she doesn’t recognize them when she goes out, she won’t dare to use them.
[Field Lithospermum officinale: an annual upright herb....mainly used to treat swelling and pain from falls, fractures...for external application or internal consumption. 】
[Saurus chinensis: a perennial upright herb...mainly used for detoxification and anti-inflammatory...decocted and taken orally.] 】
[Indigofera ovata: biennial herb...mainly used to treat high fever...decoction.] 】
[Eclipta prostrata: annual herb...mainly used to stop bleeding from external injuries...decocted and taken orally.] 】
[Perilla: an annual upright herb.....mainly used to treat colds.....edible. 】
Sure enough, the effect is incomparable to any other herbs out there!
Wen Ning harvested the herbs expressionlessly, and then memorized their appearance and effects firmly in his mind.
Very good, basically all common diseases are covered, and the treatment methods are not complicated, which is very suitable for Wen Ning, a newbie.
Wen Ning was so immersed in it that he didn't notice the forest behind him.
The sunlight shone through the gaps onto the path, moving strangely faster.
After spending about ten minutes clearing the medicine field of five herbs with amazing effects, Wen Ning turned his attention to the surrounding tall fruit trees.
I looked at the time just before I came in, and there was about an hour left in the countdown.
It took ten minutes to collect vegetables and ten minutes to collect medicinal herbs.
Spend another ten minutes collecting fruit, and then you have to go back no matter what.
Wen Ning is no longer interested in the treasures in the forest. With these supplies, her life will undergo a qualitative change!
Looking around, there is a strong fruity aroma.
Sweet and refreshing fragrance!
There is a huge watermelon on the ground!
Wen Ning was the first to pick up ten.
Then move on to the tree!
Fist-sized apricots, collect them!
Pink and red peach, get it!
In fact, Wen Ning prefers crisp peaches, but it doesn’t matter now, just take whatever is available.
Harvest the red lychees!
Mangoes bigger than a full bag, get them!
Guava, guava, collect, collect, collect!
Pomegranates, no-brainer!
......
There’s still enough time, there’s still half an hour left even if you don’t watch it!
Stop if you collect one more! Get another one!
Wen Ning's eyes gradually revealed stubbornness and a hint of madness, and his hands kept moving.
Keep reminding yourself that there is still enough time.
I even resisted the urge to check the time.
Just like a gambler in a casino, he stops after winning one hand.
Just stop.......
Stop!
"Hu, hu, hu, hu....What's wrong with me?"
Wen Ning suddenly stopped, still holding a piece of fruit in his hand.
greedy!
“Oh no!”
Wen Ning came back to his senses and quickly opened the map. He threw the fruit in his hand far away like a hot potato.
[Countdown to the closing of the ruins: 8 minutes and 28 seconds]
Boom!
It was like a huge Buddhist bell ringing beside Wen Ning's ears, making her whole head buzz and feel dizzy.
Acting faster than he thought, Wen Ning turned around and rushed out of this strange place.
"The speed of time in here is twice as fast as outside!"
She thought it would only take thirty minutes, but in fact an hour passed!
Almost got into trouble!
The moment Wen Ning turned around and rushed out, she felt a huge sense of loss in her heart, and all the fruits and medicinal herbs she had just picked filled her heart again.
There were even a lot of new ones. The medicinal herbs attracted Wen Ning to identify them, and the fruit forest also had her favorite crisp peaches.
'There are still so many things left to take, I can't give up. '
'It is very likely that the ruins will only appear this time, and there will never be another chance. '
'I'm only 400 meters away from the exit. If I try my best, I can get there in less than a minute. '
'.........'
'There are so many supplies here. Even if I stay here forever, what does it matter? I can live a better life! '
"No!"
Wen Ning's mind kept overflowing with words of persuasion.
Without stopping, Wen Ning quickly moved towards the exit while silently chanting a meditation mantra.
The short distance of 400 meters seemed to be stretched very long.
And the ruins seemed to have realized that they could no longer take advantage of Wen Ning's greed, and the surrounding plants suddenly began to move.
The original road disappeared, replaced by plants that blocked the road and actively attacked people.
"You can't afford to play, so why not use force?"
The ruins gave up affecting Wen Ning's mind, and Wen Ning regained his sanity with the help of the Heart Cleansing Mantra.
He jumped up and down to avoid the large-scale attacks of plants.
In front of her, the original road did not disappear, but was blocked by some plants.
The spear was swung, harvesting most of the plants that attacked from a distance.
Avoiding venom, flying needles, and burrs, Wen Ning used the terrain and his unique body movements to advance safely.
And to be on the safe side, Wen Ning kept the map open.
Although there were many plants blocking the way along the way, Wen Ning finally saw the exit sign three minutes before the countdown ended.
Delighted, Wen Ning quickened his pace again.
The tip of the spear touched the ground, and Wen Ning leaped up, flying sideways over the last obstacle.
Landing perfectly on his toes, Wen Ning steadied his body and retracted his spear.
[Are you sure you want to exit the ruins?] 】
"confirm!"
The plant vines that were rushing towards him from behind stopped, then shrank back unwillingly.
A white light flashed before Wen Ning's eyes. In the last instant, she saw all the plants in the ruins wither in an instant.
The fog that had originally dissipated returned and surrounded the ruins heavily.
