After the flood lasted for five days, the heavy rain stopped.
The water level slowly dropped, and gray fog came from all directions.
Zhong Ruying told Lu Yao that the new round of impermanence was poisonous fog.
This time there was not even a transition period, and everything seemed to be accelerating.
The poisonous fog contained dust, pollutant particles, virus particles, etc., which can cause respiratory infections and damage the nervous system if inhaled.
Not only is it harmful to humans, but also mutant animals and plants will be affected.
Mutated plants are different from the human body structure and are relatively less affected.
Mutated beasts are similar to humans. Once they inhale too much poisonous fog gas, they will be poisoned and sick.
The blind box store has a magic barrier that can block physical attacks and also prevent water flow, acid rain, and poisonous fog from penetrating.
There is no need to worry about the poisonous fog spreading into the blind box store, but the situation is not very good.
Lu Yao spent a day preparing a batch of "anti-poisonous fog limited" blind boxes, filling up the blind box machine and an entire glass shelf.
The staff all wore gas masks, and filter mesh was installed on the door of the blind box store just in case.
However, not many people came to the blind box store during the poisonous fog period.
Wei Xuan and Nie Yu stayed in the store for the time being and did not return to their residence at night.
Lu Yao was reading in the laboratory. He was too busy recently and did not get enough sleep. He fell asleep on the table while reading.
Xiao Linglan had been quietly staying in the flowerpot, chewing an apple vigorously, but suddenly she stopped and slowly moved to Lu Yao's front.
She sniffed left and right to make sure that Lu Yao was indeed asleep.
The branch slowly moved out of the flowerpot, stretched and rolled up Lu Yao in the air, and the Linglan bud raised its face, revealing its saw-like teeth.
Lu Yao's eyebrows were slightly twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes. He felt his body suspended in the air, and turned his head to face Xiao Linglan's mouth, "Are you going to eat me?"
Xiao Linglan suddenly lowered her face, feeling a little guilty for some reason. Lu
Yao moved his fingers slightly and twitched the thin branches that bound her.
Linglan was afraid of itching, so she loosened it a little.
Lu Yao touched the ground with his toes, stood up, turned to look at Linglan: "With your ability, it's not difficult to eat me directly, why do you have to be sneaky?"
Don't look at her small size, she is not delicate at all when eating, and the way she eats meat can be called ferocious.
Little Linglan shook the flower bud.
Although alien plants seem to have the ability to think, they are still different from humans in nature. Lu Yao will not even feel angry, but he doesn't want to indulge them all the time.
Lu Yao said seriously: "It's useless to act coquettishly. Just say what you want, I can't guess if you are hesitant."
[It is detected that the alien clerk "Little Linglan" of the blind box store has increased her favorability towards the owner by 10%, and the current favorability is 11%. 】
Lu Yao: "..."
With good food and drink, the little thing's favorability did not increase at all.
Cursing, but began to like it.
It's just... hard to figure out... Lu
Yao couldn't help but ask one more question: "Do you think that if you eat me, you can inherit the blind box store as the owner, and then you can eat all the food in the store as you like?"
Xiao Linglan's buds suddenly all stood up, looking shocked.
[It was detected that the blind box store alien clerk "Xiao Linglan"'s favorability towards the owner increased by 10%, and the current favorability is 21%. ]
Lu Yao scratched his head: "...Why do you suddenly become so understanding. Forget about making trouble with me, don't scare other people in the store, or I'll throw you out."
Xiao Linglan came over and tried to rub Lu Yao with her buds. Lu
Yao took a step back, avoiding Linglan's elongated green stems, and suddenly remembered that day when Chi Jin said "Don't be too nice to her."
[It has been detected that the alien clerk "Xiao Linglan" in the blind box store has increased her favorability towards the store owner by 20%, and the current favorability is 41%. ]
Lu Yao: "... just... your preferences are indeed a bit special."
In the gray mist, a palm-sized orange alien ran wildly, panting and running in the only direction where it could smell a special smell.
Gradually, his speed became slower and slower, his eyes blurred, and double images appeared.
The little alien stopped, shook his head, reconfirmed the direction, and continued to run forward.
After running for an unknown period of time, he stared at the front with round eyes, unwillingly, slowly stopped, and crouched on the ground.
He couldn't move after inhaling too much poisonous mist.
The store was clearly right in front of him, but no matter how he ran, he couldn't get there.
The little alien closed its amber eyes gently.
A figure in full body protective clothing tore through the thick mist, slowly walked over, picked up the little alien that looked like a rag doll on the ground, and turned back to the blind box store.
Zhong Ruying stood at the door and saw clearly what Lu Yao had picked up. He was a little surprised: "A stunted mutant cat?"
Lu Yao looked at the deep and shallow orange markings on the alien's body and nodded: "It's still a little orange cat. It looks small, but it looks round and a little cute. It inhaled too much poisonous mist and can't move."
Zhong Ruying's base was destroyed by the mutant, and he was also injured by the mutant. He looked at the little orange cat with a cold look: "Don't underestimate the mutant. Does the owner plan to save it?"
"Try feeding some antidote first." Lu Yao did not miss Zhong Ruying's eyes, found the antidote, and pushed the syringe into the kitten's mouth little by little. "This little beast fell right outside the store door, as if running straight towards the blind box store. When he wakes up, you will know what he wants to do."
Conscious individuals will appear in alien plants, and they may also appear in alien beasts.
Perhaps it’s not just humans who struggle with impermanence.
After feeding the antidote, the little orange cat's breathing gradually became calmer.
The little beast was lying in Lu Yao's hand. It was really only the size of a palm, and the fur all over its body felt very soft.
Lu Yao spread a towel on the table, made a small nest, and put the little beast in it.
Ling Lan came out from the backstage holding the flower pot, and saw Lu Yao looking at the table tenderly,
so she jumped up. She saw the little alien curled up in the towel, and looked up at Lu Yao again.
The owner looked kind, and she took a few steps back in shock, almost falling under the table.
The owner began to like aliens!
Little Linglan was devastated, and moved over in small steps, trying to act coquettishly to the shop owner.
At this moment, the little alien opened his eyes in a daze, his amber pupils were wet, and when he saw the finger stretched out in front of him, he stretched out his tongue without thinking and licked it gently.
Lu Yao's eyes lit up, and his heart almost melted.
He was so cute.
So small and cute.
Linglan: "..."
The little alien licked a few times, and suddenly woke up, looked up at Lu Yao, and turned his head to look around, as if he didn't understand why he was here.
In a blink of an eye, he saw the blind box machine, he jumped off the table lightly, patrolled the store, found what he wanted, and started jumping up and slamming into the blind box machine of medicine.
Lu Yao observed for a while and thought that he might want to exchange the blind box, so he reminded him tentatively that a crystal core is needed to redeem the blind box.
The little alien could really understand. He tilted his round little head to look at Lu Yao for a while, turned around and walked to a corner blocked by a blind box machine and hid inside.
Xue Ge said that crystal cores are as important to alien plants and beasts as people's hearts.
The items used for exchange in each world are automatically determined after system evaluation and are not controlled by the store owner.
Lu Yao walked quietly to the back of the blind box machine and carefully poked his head out to see what was going on with the little alien.
When he came, he was just a bald cat with nothing on him and no crystal core on him. Would he be autistic?
Linglan seized the opportunity and jumped into Luyao's arms, and together they peeked at the little alien.
The little alien squatted in the corner, facing the wall, with its back to the outside, and was humming hard.
After a while, the golden crystal core fell to the ground.
He stood up and used his claws to pick it up, as if he was counting the number. When he felt that it was almost done, he looked up and saw Luyao peeping, his amber eyes flickering: "Awooo!"
It's done, take it.
Give me the blind box quickly!
Luyao & Linglan: "..."
Isn't the crystal core equivalent to the heart of the mutant?
Is this a newly evolved beast? Or is this little alien the only special one?
The fresh golden crystal core is more valuable than the red crystal core, and can be exchanged for a lot of blind box coins.
The little alien exchanged all the blind boxes that could be exchanged in the store.
Lu Yao put it in a sturdy box, tied it with a rope, and put a gas mask on the little alien.
The little alien looked only the size of a palm, but it was very strong.
It put the rope on its front feet, pulled a box of blind boxes, and disappeared in the gray mist in the blink of an eye.
After watching the little alien leave, Lu Yao turned around and went back to the store.
Xiao Linglan stretched out her branches and gently rubbed her cheek, more enthusiastic than before.
[It was detected that the alien clerk "Xiao Linglan" in the blind box store had a 20% increase in favorability towards the owner, and the current favorability is 81%. 】
Lu Yao: "..."
Deep in the forest, the little alien was pulling a box of blind boxes, running as fast as the wind.
His fellow tribesmen were trapped in the thick fog and had to go back quickly.
With antidotes and gas masks, they will definitely recover like him.
The little alien returned to the place where his fellow tribesmen had settled, but found that the surroundings had become an open space, and there was no fellow tribesman.
He looked around helplessly.
A tall black shadow walked out from behind the tree, "Xiao Hu, you're back."
The little alien took a step back, identified the breath of the Beast King, and blinked his round eyes quickly, puzzled.
The Beast King turned into a look he was not familiar with, very similar to the two-legged creature in the blind box store.
The beast king, who had transformed into a human form, walked out of the thick mist, squatted in front of the tiger cub, reached out and grabbed him, and held him in front of him: "Where have you been playing? There is a strange smell on you."
The little alien: "Awoo."
The beast king: "Which store did you go to and exchange 'hmm' for antidote and gas mask?"
Human preferences have always been very perverted.
The beast king's golden eyes were full of wonder. He put the tiger cub on his head and leaned over to open the blind box.
He took out various foods, crystal core props, as well as medicines and gas masks.
The beast king put on a gas mask, played with the crystal core liquid knife, his eyes were clear, and then folded the knife and stuffed it into the tiger cub, "Take this knife with you."
The tiger cub opened his mouth and swallowed the knife into his stomach, "Awoo?"
Where are the same tribe?
The beast king picked out food and props to take with him, stood up, touched his belly, and walked to the edge of the forest with the little tiger cub on his head. His voice was cold: "Don't worry about them, let's do the final cleaning work."
Changming Base.
Yao Yiyi and Li Xin were lying on the bed, their faces pale and their bodies stiff.
The base's sanitation staff took a quick look and turned back to Jiang Han and said: "They inhaled too much poisonous mist and were poisoned."
The two fell outside the base in the morning and were already unconscious when they were found.
The base has a batch of blind boxes of medicines, but there is no antidote in them.
Now that the poisonous mist is everywhere outside, it is not easy to go to the blind box store, and it is not sure whether the blind box store has new antidote blind boxes.
According to his understanding of the store owner, Jiang Han felt that the store might already have a series of blind boxes related to anti-poison mist, but they could not get out.
Jiang Han sat aside, pondered for a moment, then stood up and said, "I'm going to find Brother Chi and ask him if he can make some antidote with herbs."
Grandpa is not at the base, so he can only ask Chi Jin about this kind of thing.
Jiang Han put on the cold-proof mask from the winter limited blind box, put on his snowmobile helmet, and quickly ran to the research area.
Blind box store.
Bai Jing came to give Zhong Ruying water again.
Zhong Ruying's wound is recovering well. Today is the last time she has been exposed to water. From now on, she will only need to take medicine.
After getting the needle, Bai Jing was ready to leave.
Ji Feiming or the shopkeeper can do the needle removal.
Lu Yao stopped him and handed over two document bags, "This is the physical examination report of two employees in my store. Please help me take a look."
Bai Jing was stunned: "Where did they do the examination?"
System production, 100,000 popularity value A full body examination report, two people spent 200,000.
Lu Yao exhaled slightly, not intending to say more, "You take a look first, can it be cured?"
Bai Jing took out Luo Hui'an's report and glanced at it, then looked up at her: "I'll take it back to the hospital and send you the treatment plan later."
The two reports, one old and one young, had different symptoms, so he would take them back to the experts for diagnosis. Lu Yao
nodded, "Trouble you."
In the afternoon, Bai Jing sent a complete diagnosis book with a treatment plan attached.
Jiang Shanrun was too old, and his organs were failing normally. He could only prescribe medicine for conditioning, and there was no other way.
Luo Hui'an's condition was better than expected.
His disease was a difficult disease more than ten years ago, but in recent years there have been effective treatments.
But he couldn't be hospitalized, and the conservative treatment plan was to hang water and take medicine, which took a long time.
After Lu Yao talked with the little fat man, he accepted the treatment plan provided by Bai Jing, prepaid 50,000 medical expenses, and also got some medicine for Jiang Shanrun.
The system was a little puzzled: [Why didn't the store owner directly extend the life of the two people? ]
The store owner already has too much time to spend, and it doesn't have to be so troublesome to just divide it up. It costs popularity points, money, energy and time.
Lu Yao: "I like to do my best first."
The system doesn't understand: [What? ]
Lu Yao: "It's nothing. There are conventional methods. As long as the result is good, the trouble doesn't matter at all."
The next day, Luo Hui'an began to receive treatment and needed to be infused in a dark place.
Each time takes about six hours, and combined with taking medicine, the body will have some discomfort reactions, and it is impossible to continue the research work.
Lu Yao took over his position, helping with experiments, recording plant growth data and soil changes.
Xue Ge also helped in the laboratory. Every day when she saw Lu Yao, her face was the same as usual, without any expression.
After recording the growth of the latest group of plants, Lu Yao took off his gloves, washed his hands, returned to the lounge, set up his tablet and prepared to catch up on two episodes of TV series.
I counted to three seconds in my heart, and the system prompt came as expected.
[It was detected that the alien clerk "Xue Ge" in the blind box store had a 5% increase in favorability towards the owner, and the current favorability was 60%. ] Lu Yao
didn't need to turn around, Xue Ge was standing behind her, staring at the screen on the tablet without blinking.
She discovered that Xue Ge liked to watch blind box advertisements on the display screen in the lobby of blind box stores, so she took a tablet from the nail salon and tried to play TV series.
Two episodes were shown every day during the break. Xue Ge was quickly attracted and always quietly hid behind to peek at the screen.
His favorability level increased more slowly than that of Suzuran, but as long as the TV series was played every day, it would always increase a little.
As a human being, Lu Yao could not fully understand the alien brain circuit, so he just wanted to complete the task as soon as possible.
The poisonous fog spread for five days and dissipated in the early morning of the sixth day.
The sun slowly rose from the east, and the sky finally cleared.
After successive cold waves, floods and poisonous fog, the buildings around Fairy Tale Square are even more dilapidated than before.
The blind box store is very conspicuous among the ruins.
Not far away, some people came in groups.
When the poisonous fog dispersed, customers also came.
Lu Yao stood at the door for a while, then turned back to the store.
Xue Ge suddenly ran out and said helplessly: "Shopkeeper, Linglan, Linglan has grown up." Lu
Yao walked in, thinking that little Linglan ate a lot all day long, and if she didn't grow up, she would have to apologize for the food that was consumed.
Linglan was standing in the laboratory. When she heard footsteps, she slowly turned around and saw the owner. She was delighted and ran to the door quickly. She hugged Luyao and said softly and coquettishly, "Sister!"
The little girl was about five or six years old. She was wearing a white puffy skirt, a green bow ribbon around her waist, two buns on her head, and a bunch of linglan flowers in her hair. Her dark eyes were like grapes, big and round.
So this is what growing up means.
Speaking of which, little Linglan has not appeared much in the past two days. It seems that she has evolved by hiding.
Lu Yao squatted down, looked at her carefully, and then frowned slightly: "Linglan?"
Linglan hugged Lu Yao and put her face close to him, "Sister!"
Lu Yao leaned back to avoid it, and looked up at Xue Ge: "Does she look familiar?"
Xue Ge said expressionlessly: "She looks a lot like the owner."
To say she looks a lot is just a polite way of saying that Linglan looks almost exactly like Lu Yao when he was a child.
Lu Yao thought of Mumu and was silent for a while, "Can your face be reshaped?"
Xue Ge: "If you continue to grow up, your appearance may change."
The appearance of mutant plants is naturally more gorgeous than that of humans, with the delicate temperament of green plants.
Linglan turned into the appearance of the owner, probably because she admired the owner too much.
Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief and let Linglan kiss his cheek.
[It has been detected that the alien clerk "Xiao Linglan" has increased her favorability towards the owner to 100%, and the alien clerk "Xue Ge" has increased her favorability towards the owner to 90%. Mission accomplished! ]
[The ultimate mission has been opened: find and repair the Balance Compass. Please complete the mission within seven days! ]
This mission is a little different.
What is the Balance Compass?
System: [The owner can regard the Balance Compass as the god of this world. ]
Lu Yao: "If the compass is repaired, will the impermanence end?"
System: [No comment. The only thing that is certain is that the owner can get the clue to the next world only after completing the mission. ]
The little system is getting more and more arrogant.
Lu Yao was in a dilemma, "Does this mean that I should go outside to find the compass? Without a picture or clue, how can I be sure to find the compass?"
System: […Spend 50,000 popularity points to exchange for a special bracelet that can sense the position of the compass. Are you sure you want to exchange it? ] Lu
Yao was a little hesitant because she had spent too much popularity points recently.
This was different from the search for the Demon God. Finding an object was more difficult than finding a person.
"…Yes." She chose to exchange.
An item immediately appeared in the portable warehouse, a black cloud-patterned bracelet with a red gem in the center.
Lu Yao took it out and put it on his wrist. It made his hand look whiter and didn't look out of place.
The red gem on the bracelet suddenly lit up and pointed in a certain direction.
Lu Yao: "What is this?"
System: [There are compass fragments nearby. The owner is lucky.]
