Chapter 113: Winning People Over with Virtue is Emphasized Again



Although she didn't find the mutated beast's meat very tasty, she still ate it all up, adhering to the principle of not wasting food.

Surprisingly, it tasted pretty good.

After checking, there were indeed no cameras or similar devices in the room. Jiang Zhi took out a fragrant pear from her spatial storage, which didn't have a strong smell. After eating the pear, she closed her eyes and went to sleep.

She was a little tired because she had used too much spiritual energy last night.

Wanfu pushed open the door, and with cat-like steps, quietly entered.

Seeing that Jiang Zhi was asleep, Wan Fu quietly snuggled up to her and fell asleep with her.

To reduce its mother's troubles, it, Little Wanfu, spent the whole night outside catching mutated beasts, only going to find its mother after eating and drinking its fill.

It was unexpected that Mom lived underground; it took it a long time to find a chance to come in.

After sleeping for six and a half hours, it was already 2:30 in the afternoon. Jiang Zhi opened her eyes and felt a stove next to her. When she touched it, her hand was covered in stubble.

Wanfu seemed to be dreaming. Jiang Zhi took her hand away, and the guy was licking his lips. There were still some bloodstains on his cat face. He looked very cunning.

Jiang Zhi, feeling playful, took out a foxtail grass from her bag and brushed it around Wanfu's nose and ears.

Wanfu's nose twitched, and suddenly he opened his round eyes.

"Mommy~" Wanfu's voice was soft and adorable.

If you ignore the bloodstains on its face.

"Oh, what a chubby little cat! Did you sneak a snack outside?" Jiang Zhi laughed.

"Wow, there are crystals." Wanfu stood up abruptly and shook the small pocket on his chest.

After pouring it out, there were actually two green crystals and three red crystals inside.

"Wow, you've been having a great time out there."

"Mmm," Wanfu meowed and jumped off the bed.

Jiang Zhi sat cross-legged on the bed for a while, while Wan Fu played with his tail beside her.

A moment later, the girl who brought the food knocked on the door again with a new tray.

"Enter."

When the girl came in, she almost screamed when she saw Wanfu next to Jiang Zhi.

Most likely, they mistook Wanfu for one of those mutated beasts that kill without hesitation.

"Don't be afraid, this is my son." Jiang Zhi patted Wanfu's head, signaling the girl not to scream.

The girl asked in surprise, "No mutation?"

Jiang Zhi didn't answer the question. Seeing the plate in the girl's hand, she asked, "What's this?"

"It's watermelon juice, with ice cubes, syrup, and glutinous rice balls inside." As the girl was setting out the plates, she secretly glanced at Wanfu a few times. Seeing Wanfu sitting obediently on the ground, her nervousness dissipated considerably.

Picking up the plate and bowl she had used earlier, the girl quickly left, as if something was chasing her heels.

"Aww~" Wanfu slapped his mouth and sniffed the bowl of watermelon.

"Ugh, no milk, bad review."

Jiang Zhi picked up her iced drink and clicked her tongue, saying, "It's good enough to have something to eat, why are you being so picky?"

However, to be fair, the meals at the base when I ate at Zhang Zhaohe's place before weren't this plentiful.

It looks like they've received special treatment.

Jiang Zhi knew about wood-type ability users; to ripen a watermelon, a wood-type ability user would expend a considerable amount of energy.

It is evident that there is a significant disparity in living standards between the upper and lower levels of the base; some people are not even able to get enough to eat in one meal a day, while others drink iced watermelon with added sugar.

Admittedly, in the year of the apocalypse, the original production materials were not completely exhausted, but the probability of ordinary people obtaining these materials will likely become increasingly smaller.

In any society, wealth is always in the hands of a few.

Jiang Zhi ate only half of it, and the other half went into Wanfu's stomach.

After eating it, it didn't feel good and wanted to eat the food that Jiang Zhi made herself.

Of course, we'll have to wait a few days.

The most important thing right now is to quickly ripen the grain so that it can absorb thousands of tons of metal, and then we can live a carefree life.

In the evening, the temperature dropped to around forty degrees Celsius, and people were already working in the fields. Jiang Zhi touched the grain that had been ripened overnight. After a day in the sun, the rice and wheat had dried.

After the water-elemental ability user irrigated the fields, Jiang Zhi began to accelerate the ripening of the grains.

This time, her speed was noticeably faster than before.

The moment the crops ripen, someone else harvests them.

This is extremely efficient.

Jiang Zhi had only finished half of her work when Zhou Heng arrived with his men, looking travel-worn: "Jiang Zhi, the amount of steel is too large to estimate. We've really done our best."

"No need to weigh it. I'll go with you now, and you can weigh my things using a gantry." Jiang Zhi took out a gold brick with the character "De" (德) printed on it from her pocket.

"This is?"

"Win people over with virtue."

Zhou Heng didn't understand.

Jiang Zhi looked completely relaxed when she held that gold brick before.

However, once this thing was mounted on the gantry, it weighed a whopping six tons.

Not only Zhou Heng, but everyone around him who was operating the weighing equipment was stunned.

A small gold brick weighs six tons. How dense must that be?

Anyone who studies chemistry knows that gold has a density of 19.32 g/cm³. Is that still gold?

Jiang Zhi had been collecting data beforehand. Gold bricks can be upgraded by absorbing metal elements, and the further you go, the more metal elements you need to absorb.

That's why, after all these years in business, the gold brick only weighed six tons.

We can now reverse the process by absorbing the added weight of the metal.

After recording the data, Zhou Heng asked Jiang Zhi, "May I take a look?"

“Okay,” Jiang Zhi nodded.

Six tons is a heavy weight, even a novice ability user would have difficulty lifting it, let alone Zhou Heng, who is only a fire-type ability user.
