Other players soon discovered the energy storage ball as well.
"Holy crap, this wasn't here before, was it? The system added this, does it mean that person wasn't a scammer?"
"This is really strange. Is the person selling electricity not a spy sent by the system?"
"A single charge storage ball costs five points per second, and electricity costs ten points per second. So, if I want to electrocute a corpse for one second, it will cost fifteen points. That's damn expensive!"
"More importantly, it won't kill you in a second, it can only slow down your movement speed."
"I'd better hurry up and do some tasks, otherwise I won't have any points and my survival will be a problem."
"Never mind, it's expensive if it's worth it. My life is more important than points!"
Thus, Yunjian's electricity sales transaction received its first order.
She gave the fourth brother a look, and he understood immediately that he was now in charge of most of the transactions within the camp.
Before long, the player obtained the fully charged energy storage ball.
"Brothers, it's for real! Selling electricity is real, I got it!"
"Is this really not a scam? Someone in this game can actually sell electricity! Did he build a generator? That's amazing!"
"Since entering this game, I've realized that there are all kinds of talented people in the world, but I'm not one of them."
"I feel the same way. They're here to build society, and I'm just here to make up the numbers."
"Where's the electricity seller? Ahhhhhh, this is terrifying! Those charred corpses just broke into my camp and even knocked down my stone house! Luckily, I reacted quickly, or I'd be meeting the King of Hell by now!"
"What did you say? Those charred corpses have come out?"
"I was wondering why there was a burnt smell here, and there was some black stuff on the grass. It seems that those charred corpses were here."
"No way, don't scare me. Does that mean those charred corpses have started wandering in the jungle?"
"My goodness, does that mean we have to be on guard against these things all the time?"
"If they can demolish stone houses, then we're doomed. My thatched hut probably won't hold up either. If this happens, I won't be able to sleep peacefully at night."
"I really want to drag Cheng Cheng out and tear him apart by five horses! It's all his fault! Selling medicine recklessly, even sacrificing him to the heavens wouldn't be enough to vent my anger!"
Seeing this, the fourth brother subtly advertised in the public chat, "These houses can't stop the charred corpses. I wonder if the ones on the trading platform will work? I saw some player comments before that they were quite sturdy, they even survived that natural disaster without a scratch."
This one sentence evoked memories for some players.
It seems there is such a thing.
"Has anyone bought it yet? Come out and share your thoughts. If I really can't, I might have to get one myself, no matter the cost."
"It's alright. This thing is pretty amazing. The longer it's used, the stronger it becomes, almost as strong as concrete. It should be able to withstand a charred corpse."
"Really? Then I'll buy one and try it out. I've never been good at building houses since I was a child. The previous one was barely usable, but now that we have this scourge of charred corpses, how can I feel at ease?"
As a result, Yunjian's houses also saw a surge in orders.
Liang Song quickly arranged manpower to speed up the construction of the house.
Yun Jian was fiddling with the little insects, a little worried. Ever since these insects volunteered to deal with the charred corpses for her, they had been listless. Even after being back for so long, they were still curled up, and they were too lazy to move when she touched them.
Bai Yu sat back in his chair, watching them from a distance. "Did you eat too much? Don't you have that beast language ring? Ask them."
"I asked, but I didn't get an answer."
Bai Yu frowned. Three thousand points! Could he just kick the bucket like that?
"What have they been eating? Did they eat something bad?"
Yun looked up, expressionless, and said, "They've been gnawing on charred corpses."
Bai Yu almost fell off his chair. "What a tiger! Can you even eat a charred corpse? How could they bring themselves to eat it? It's already weird enough that it can stand up, but they actually dared to eat such a weird thing. No wonder it ended up like this."
After saying that, he stood up and called Le Wenfeng over.
"Dr. Le, do you think there's any hope for this?"
Le Wenfeng was speechless and exasperated. "I'm a doctor, not a veterinarian. I can't treat this."
"Oh dear, aren't they all about treating illnesses? You know more about this than Yunjian and I do."
Le Wenfeng lowered his eyes, not wanting to speak.
This thing has absolutely no resemblance to the human body, okay?
Bai Yu was still talking non-stop when he saw Yun Jian's little insect seem to sense something and drag its heavy body little by little towards Bai Yu's direction.
Bai Yu's expression immediately changed.
"What are you doing? Don't come any closer! Ah—"
Bai Yu jumped off the chair and darted directly behind Le Wenfeng.
He looked miserable and pointed at Le Wenfeng, "He's the one who can save you. Make sure you're not looking for the wrong person."
The little insect raised its head, pushed forward, and then spat out a small black ball.
After spitting it out, the little insect crawled back into the bamboo tube on its own.
Bai Yu looked at the bamboo tube, then at the insect, and then at the small black ball on the ground. "What's this? Is it its poop?"
Yun Jian was speechless. "Have you ever seen any creature that poops out of its mouth?"
"Then what is this?"
"It's mostly stuff from the charred corpse. I told it not to spit these things in front of me anymore, but it did the opposite, spitting them out on someone else."
At this point, Yun Jian paused, then his expression changed. "I remember this thing eats things that can control the movement of living beings. Could this little ball be the key to controlling the charred corpse's movements? No wonder the charred corpse whose body was burrowed into by the little bugs moves more slowly."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yu and Le Wenfeng also became serious.
"Dr. Le, can you tell what this is?"
Le Wenfeng squatted down and examined it carefully for a while before taking out the makeshift gloves he had made. Seeing Bai Yu about to reach out and touch them, he quickly stopped him, "Don't touch them! This thing is alive, it's still moving!"
Bai Yu was so frightened that he immediately withdrew his hand.
He stared wide-eyed at it closely, then hopped back a few steps. "Holy crap, it's really alive, and it's still moving!"
Le Wenfeng took out two thin iron rods and gently pinched the small ball.
A thin black thread appeared, trying to climb up the iron rod and onto Le Wenfeng's hand. Le Wenfeng tried to shake it off, but couldn't, so he simply threw the iron rod away as well.
Bai Yu took several steps back. "What is this thing? If these threads get into my body, will I turn into a charred corpse?"
Le Wenfeng looked grave. "I think so."
"What do we do now? How do we get rid of all this stuff on the ground? What if we miss one of them? That would be terrible!"
Yun told him not to panic, then called Lao Si in, "Where's your stun gun? It still has power, right? Shock these things on the ground, make sure there aren't any left."
The black sphere had become somewhat scattered, with many thin filaments extending from it and constantly wriggling.
The fourth brother's scalp tingled. "What is this?! It's disgusting!"
