Chapter 58 58. Hungry, hungry, food
When he returned to the main base, it was almost midnight. Xu Zhi could only take a rest and sort things out when he woke up tomorrow.
Early the next morning, she first sent Xiaozhen out to look for the black fruit, and then left behind the dog Xiaoyi and the brainless stupid alien who stayed in her pocket and refused to go out.
She already had nearly three thousand cores in her warehouse, with the majority being Blade cores. Xu Zhi wasn't stingy with her money, so she asked the game console, "Will there be any problems if I feed them all to my clan at once?"
[They are currently unable to digest so many cores in one go.]
That’s true.
"Then take your time."
"By the way, I made a suggestion, please give me your feedback quickly."
[.Received. From now on, when you are in the spirit body, you can take items out of the warehouse by paying a certain amount of cores.]
"Haha, as expected."
Xu Zhi was not surprised by this result at all.
"So how many cores can they eat now?"
【Not sure, try it? 】
Xu Zhi:?
"If I only feed them the core upgrade, will their combat effectiveness be less than if they hunted on their own?"
After all, they are flowers in a greenhouse.
[No, the clan are natural hunters.]
That's good.
Xu Zhi confidently placed the cores in front of Xiaoyi and Gouzi: "Eat according to your ability. Eat as much as you can. Don't overeat."
Xiaoyi calmly spit out the core, and the dog licked her hand enthusiastically.
One of them is level 18 and the other is level 22. Xiaoyi's needs are naturally greater, and he needs advanced cores. Gouzi will be promoted to level 20 in a short time, but after that he will become another gold-eating beast.
At this moment, the dead tree in her pocket also emerged a "head", if that could be called a head, and madly sent a message to Xu Zhi:
What about me, what about me, what about me?
Mom, food, I’m hungry.
Since level 10, it has become a little smarter.
Xu Zhi's eyes twitched when he heard that, and his tone became dangerous: "What did you call me?!"
She's still a minor!
The dead tree was completely unaware of the danger coming and kept on saying, "Mom, food, food! I'm hungry!"
Xu Zhi was so angry that she laughed. She pulled the dead wood out of her pocket and threw it on the ground. She said to Xiao Yi, "Press it down, crush it, and make it shut up!"
Xiaoyi's tail moved, completely submerging the poor little alien, leaving only a tiny bit of consciousness transmitted to Xu Zhi's mind.
Mom, food, I’m hungry, it hurts.
It looked so pitiful that Xu Zhi felt a little soft-hearted. What had it done wrong? It was just a piece of dead wood that knew nothing!
"Never mind, let it out."
Xiaoyi moved his tail obediently, and after getting rid of the shackles, the dead tree stretched out its branch claws and crawled nimbly to Xu Zhi: Mom, I'm hungry!
Xu Zhi: "Don't call me mom!"
This is so weird!
"You can call me sister."
My sister sounded much more normal.
Dead Tree: Mom!
Xu Zhi: Sister!
The two of them played the game for a long time, and in the end, Xu Zhi was defeated because she found herself trying to change the mind of a single-celled organism. It was terrible!
"Never mind. Whatever."
The tired girl chose to compromise.
But I still hope in my heart that maybe when it reaches a higher level and becomes wiser, it will understand what I mean and change its name?
She took out a [Light] attribute core with hope: "Be good, eat this."
When it comes to eating, this little alien is extremely active. It doesn't mind at all that this core doesn't match its own attributes, and it absorbs this [Light] attribute core quickly.
Afterwards, Xu Zhi discovered that this little alien was staggering from side to side as if it was drunk after eating the [Light] attribute core, and it was uttering thoughts of "dizziness" and "pain" from time to time.
"Nothing's going to go wrong, is it?"
[It's just a basic attribute conflict, not a big deal, you shouldn't die.]
The narrator looked like he had a minor problem, and Xu Zhi was a little overwhelmed.
"It's not a big deal? I shouldn't die."
[The alien species' vitality is very strong. Even if they only have one breath left, they will recover if they are given time and energy. Moreover, to suppress their restlessness, they can only rely on the rationality brought by the lamp. However, these two attributes are in sharp conflict, so some suffering is inevitable.]
After saying this, he suddenly said: [Are you heartbroken? ]
Xu Zhi felt a little baffled, as she sensed a subtle hint of sarcasm, but it was also possible that she had made a mistake, so she replied, "Of course I'm heartbroken. I only have a few of them now, and if one died I would die of grief!"
Lie.
"What do you care?"
After saying that, Xu Zhi looked at the alien creature twisting and rolling on the ground and asked, "Just let it suffer like this?"
[Later, when its agitation level increases, feed it the Light Attribute Core Suppression. As for the pain caused by the conflict, it will get used to it. If it can get through it, it will be a good thing.]
Xu Zhi curled his lips: "You speak so coldly."
Then he thought for a moment and added, "But it was more cold and impersonal before. Now it's different from before."
When did the changes begin?
It seems like she awakened the [Prying Eyes]. No, it was after she awakened her extraordinary ability that the narration began to gradually become less mechanical, and she could feel that her extraordinary level was about to advance recently, and it was also recently that the narration became more and more of its own "personality".
Is it because of this?
Or is she overthinking it?
Xu Zhi buried these speculations deep in his heart and just made a simple test.
The narrator did not respond to her temptation.
Xiaoyi and Gouzi beside them had already swallowed the core they needed and fell into a deep sleep brought by digesting the energy. Ku Mu was rolling on the ground in pain because of the conflict caused by the [Light] attribute. Xiao Zhen was still hunting outside, so Xu Zhi fixed his eyes on the game screen and followed Xiao Zhen's movements.
She really needed those black fruits. First, she wanted to trade them, and second, she needed them herself. Whether she gave them to her family or ate them herself, she would get considerable benefits.
Perhaps her eagerness was known by God, and today Xiaozhen found the fruit after a long time. Although there was only one, it was still very rare.
After Xiaozhen came back, Xu Zhi was not in a hurry to use the fruit. Instead, he took out the advanced core of the [Winter] attribute and piled it in front of Xiaozhen.
Now that Xiaozhen's level is close to Xiaoyi's due to her "favor", these advanced cores naturally have to be fed to it.
However, as the clan's level grows, especially after level 20, the time required for each upgrade will also increase. Looking at the three-hour upgrade time, Xu Zhi picked up the dead wood on the ground and planned to go out to find Chen Jinwen to learn some swordsmanship.
Unexpectedly, the alien that had been twisting and turning after she picked it up suddenly became obedient and stopped moving.
Xu Zhi:?
"Are you not in pain anymore?"
The alien's stupid brain was stuck and not a single word came out, but Xu Zhi always felt as if bubbles were popping in its head.
Alien: Love can relieve pain (referring to maternal love, although it does not exist at all)
This child might be a mama's boy.
