Chapter 71 Wild Fruit Forest and Honeycomb
Lu Xuan said slowly, "If something so good is really that cheap, how can it be so unavailable? It doesn't sound believable."
[That's because the materials are scarce, the production process is specialized, and the production volume is low. However, this product isn't made to profit from the public, but to strengthen our own strength. Therefore, the price can't be too high.]
[Actually, a hundred thousand per shot isn't exactly cheap, not to mention the black market price is several times, or even dozens of times, higher.]
Lu Xuan noticed the quantifier "one" and couldn't help but think about it.
"Okay, I'll trust you this time. But I don't really want anything right now..."
To be precise, even if he used up all his points, he still couldn't afford the thing he wanted to buy. To buy it, he needed at least one more zero, and the first digit had to be five or above.
As for other things, there is absolutely no need to spend all your money.
Besides spaceships, there are also hovercars and aircraft on daily discounts. Since you've got a safe house, there should be a chance they'll pop up there. Refresh a few times, buy a few double rooms, and you'll easily spend hundreds of thousands.
Lu Xuan: “…” It’s not his own points that are being spent, but he is talking without any worries.
Lu Xuan thought for a moment, and seeing that they were urging him on like he was about to die, he said, "Alright, stop urging me. We'll talk about the spending after I get back today."
To be honest, spending a million is indeed the only achievement that can be achieved in the near future.
Judging from the audience’s enthusiastic reaction, the reward must be really good, and it would be a pity to give it up just like that.

After breakfast, the hunting and gathering teams were ready to go.
Before setting off, Lu Xuan said to Miao Jinfeng, who was leading the team today, "Follow me. Today, let's pick the hazelnuts and chestnuts that Uncle Wu and the others found."
The gathering team cheered up. Miao Jinfeng, looking haggard, smiled and said, "That's great! We don't have to worry about the harvest today."
The hazelnut and chestnut trees were not far from the square. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the two teams saw several trees with green, thorny fruits.
The gathering team and the hunting team looked at Lu Xuan expectantly.
Live audience: Please start your performance.
Lu Xuan was not polite either. He sent his wood-type ability to several trees. The small, unripe fruits on the trees grew visibly larger and entered the fully mature period in the blink of an eye.
The eyes of the two teams lit up as they watched, and Lei Yan was even more impressed: "Ah Xuan's ability is truly amazing no matter how many times you see it."
The others nodded vigorously.
To these farmers, the fairy vines and the wind magic looked truly remarkable, but what they envied and loved the most was the ability to ripen crops.
Miao Jinfeng rolled up her sleeves and called out to the others, "Okay, the fruits are all ripe, it's our turn next!"
Lu Xuan stopped them and said, "It's too troublesome to pick them one by one. The chestnut skin has thorns and it's easy to get hurt."
Lu Qing was puzzled. "How can we pick them if we don't pick them one by one? It doesn't matter if they have thorns. We can just hit them with a stick."
"Too slow." Lu Xuan shook his head, motioned them to put the baskets under the tree, waved his hand to ask them to stay away, and then kicked several tree trunks one by one.
The six trees were kicked so hard that they shook violently, and the already ripe fruits on the trees immediately fell down like rain.
By the time Lu Xuan stopped, most of the empty basket had been filled with fallen fruits.
Everyone: !!! This is so convenient!
Miao Jinfeng couldn't think about Li Yue anymore and exclaimed, "This is too efficient!"
The other women nodded repeatedly, "That's right, I thought it would take at least an hour or two."
With Lu Xuan's intervention, they only had to do some loading work, and in less than an incense stick of time, all the fruits were picked... They were all picked up, and there was not a single fruit left on the tree, they had all fallen off.
However, this is not the worst.
After everyone put away the baskets full of fruits, Lu Xuan walked to the tree again, grabbed the trunk with both hands, pulled up the tall tree by the roots and put it into his space bracelet, leaving only a few big holes.
Everyone:!!!
[Oh my god! The host really doesn't give anyone any chance at all. He even took away their home.]
[Wherever the anchor passes, no grass grows. In one word, absolutely!]
[As long as it's fruit, adults will definitely choose to take it all! Hahahaha——!]
[The Hazelnut/Chestnut Tree whose house was robbed: I may not be a human, but you are a real dog (swearing)!]
The villagers were shocked and confused. "Why pull up the trees when the fruits have already been picked?"
Zhang Chengming said subconsciously: "That's right, the fruits are gone. Even if we wait for the next batch of fruits to mature, it will take until next year..."
Halfway through the conversation, Zhang Chengming and the others suddenly reacted.
Under normal circumstances, fruit trees can only mature once a year, but Lu Xuan can ripen them again and again!
With these trees, you don’t have to worry about not having enough hazelnuts and chestnuts to eat. You can produce as many as you want!
Not only the hazelnut and chestnut trees, Lu Xuan also planned to pick the fleshy nut trees and European plum trees that he had picked before and bring them back.
After collecting the trees, Lu Xuan said, "Let's change places."
Lei Yan subconsciously said, "Are you still hunting nearby today? You just went hunting two days ago, so the catch today might not be much."
Wild animals have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. If the human smell nearby is too strong, the more sensitive animals will probably actively avoid this place.
Zhang Chengming rubbed his hands and said, "How about we go to the Great Waterfall to fish?"
Li Jing and his friends caught more than 500 kilograms of fish in one go, which made him extremely envious. There were so many fish in the waterfall that they didn't have to worry about catching them all. He also wanted to experience the pleasure of catching dozens of big fish at once.
Lu Xuan looked at the unexplored mountain forest ahead and said, "No, let's go somewhere further today."
Everyone was stunned. Are they going to explore a new area?!
The members of the hunting team, who had not had any room to show their skills today, immediately perked up, holding their weapons tightly, their eyes shining, and their fighting spirits high.
When Miao Jinfeng heard this, she subconsciously said, "Then we should split up here? We can continue collecting nearby."
Lu Xuan shook his head, "You continue to follow us."
"Huh?" The women, immersed in the joy of their harvest, were startled. Miao Jinfeng was even more hesitant. "If you go to a place you haven't explored before, we might just hold you back."
Zhang Chengming and other members of the hunting team also felt that it was not appropriate. "We don't know what ferocious beasts are ahead. It would be too dangerous to bring the women with us."
"Dangerous?" Lu Xuan was surprised. "What kind of beast could be as dangerous as me?"
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
So you know you're in danger.
[Hahaha, the host is quite self-aware.]
[There were no mutant creatures in ancient times. Who would dare to say it's dangerous in front of the anchor?]
[The most dangerous person is indeed the anchor! ]
[There should be a sign hanging on the anchor: A ferocious humanoid beast is about to appear. All living things should give way!]
【666! 】
Lu Qing frowned in disagreement and corrected him, "You're just strong, but you won't hurt anyone. How can that be dangerous?"
Others thought to themselves that he really didn't hurt anyone, he just scared them.
However, with Lu Xuan's words, the others felt relieved, and Miao Jinfeng no longer insisted on staying. The group of more than 20 people headed towards the unknown area in a mighty manner.
After setting off, Lu Xuan did not let the hunting team lead the way and explore everywhere. Instead, he led the way alone, distinguishing the various smells in the air along the way, changing direction from time to time, and obviously heading in a specific direction in a very targeted manner.
Seeing this, the others were confused and didn't know where he was taking them, but out of trust in Lu Xuan, they chose to follow him silently.
After walking for about half an hour, when some of the girls who were less physically fit were already panting and their legs were weak, Lu Xuan suddenly said, "We're here."
The tired crowd was stunned for a moment and looked around blankly.
Where are we? I don't see anything.
Lu Xuan led them around the pile of rocks in front and came to a forest that was different from other places.
Just at this moment, a warm breeze blew over their faces, and everyone smelled a faint fruity fragrance.
When they looked again, they found that the forest in front of them was actually a vast wild fruit forest that stretched as far as the eye could see, with many wild fruits that they were familiar with growing on the trees.
The women immediately screamed with excitement.
"Oh my God! So many fruit trees! Apple trees, pear trees, peach trees! There are also cherries and currants over there, so many varieties!"
“There seem to be a few apricot trees and hawthorn trees!”
"It's a pity that some of them are not yet in fruiting season and are still in bloom."
"Don't we still have Lu Xuan? We can pick it after we induce the birth."
“That’s right!”
"With so many fruit trees, we can pick a lot of fruit! Now the whole village will have enough to eat."
The audience in the live broadcast room did not expect that the anchor had found such a large-scale wild fruit forest, but on second thought, it didn’t seem strange at all.
[The host was able to find the orchard so accurately, surely it was due to his enhanced sense of taste? His body-strengthening ability was at work again.]
[Continue to guess the anchor's ability type. ]
[I can't guess. He knows too many things, too many things. There's no way to guess. I've already given up. You guys can continue.]
[Huh? Where is the host going? Did he discover something else?]
【Isn’t the reward of discovering the orchard enough?】
Lu Qing had been keeping an eye on Lu Xuan the entire time. She immediately spotted Lu Xuan walking in another direction and hurriedly asked, "Xuan, where are you going now?"
Lu Xuan didn't stop, "I found something good."
Lu Qing hurriedly followed, "What good stuff—" Before she could finish her words, she saw something not far away and exclaimed, "What a huge beehive!"
Lu Xuan curled his lips and said, "It is indeed very big." It is even bigger than the one he discovered last time.
It was worth it that he went all the way to find a place with a strong fragrance of flowers.
Smelling the rich sweet scent of honey in the air, which he could smell without having to specifically enhance his sense of smell, Lu Xuan curled up the corners of his mouth in pleasure.
Fruit is certainly a good harvest, but he said that if he wanted to replenish the honey, he would naturally have to look for honeycombs first.
Others came over after hearing the noise and were overjoyed to see the beehive.
No one in ancient times could resist sweets, and honey was a rare treasure even for the rich.
Now that such a large beehive has been discovered, even though Miao Jinfeng is still thinking about Li Yue, a smile of great success now appears on her face.
The process of picking fruit trees is the same as before. First, stimulate the fruits to grow, then kick the tree, and wait for the fruits to fall down. The women are only responsible for picking them up. The work should not be too easy.
After the gathering team started working, the hunting team, led by Lei Yan, dispersed and began looking for prey.
As for Lu Xuan, besides continuing to kick the tree, he naturally took on the more dangerous task of removing the honeycomb.
Everything was going smoothly at first. Some were picking, some were hunting, and the spectators were busy like mice in a rice jar, eating an apple and grabbing a handful of cherries.
But just as Lu Xuan was using the same old smoke trick to obtain a large amount of honey, the panicked screams of women in the orchard suddenly came from the orchard: "Ah! Help!"
