101. Fantasy Mushrooms
Most of the plants encountered in the wild are alien plants. They are different from the species on Earth thousands of years ago. They look strange and aggressive.
Some rare alien plants with low mutation levels and weak attack power were locked in metal cages and stared at nakedly by Su Liu.
Bixi had a lot of harvest, and the little girl might have brought back all the plants she could collect.
Su Liu checked them one by one, pointing out the varieties: "Dandelion, plantain, purslane, patchouli, mint..."
Some of them are in textbooks, while others are not included.
Especially "mint", everyone has only heard of it but has never seen the real thing.
The "mint" in the cage is more than one meter tall, and its densely packed dark green leaves look like layers of fish scales, and it doesn't look like it's edible.
You Zhengyu, wearing a red and gray plaid shirt, pushed up his glasses and said, "I heard mint has a very refreshing taste. Can it be used to make summer drinks?"
Su Liu casually purified the mutant mint that had hit the cage and said, "I'll pick some leaves to make you some cold drinks later."
As soon as she finished speaking, the mint's body wilted, and its ferocious leaves shrank and recovered into a beautiful lush green shape.
Bixi asked in surprise, "It's purified already?"
Qin Guan's heart also sank.
Although it was just a low-level alien plant, Su Liu found it very easy to purify it.
Could it be that she has some real talent and knowledge, rather than being a fool put down by the nobles?
After looking at Bixi’s receipts, Su Liu came to Julia again.
Julia was full of anticipation, but the next second she saw Su Liu frowning.
"Imperata, sedge, water hyacinth, ragweed... Tsk, they're all weeds that have little value or do more harm than good."
Julia's face changed, she bit her lower lip and whispered, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to question you."
Su Liu was just about to go and look at You Zhengyu's plants when he heard Julia sobbing, "But, you can't deliberately say that the plants I collected are worthless just because you're targeting me, right?"
Su Liu looked at her suspiciously, "Are you a planter?"
Julia resorted to the same old trick again, falling into Qin Guan's arms and about to cry: "Even if you are a purification master, you can't look down on others like this, I..."
"Then tell me, what is the content of the 18th lesson in the first volume of the first grade?" Su Liu directly interrupted her spell.
Julia froze for a moment, trying to remember.
I can't remember.
Qin Guan was about to help out when Bixi whispered, "It's about weeds, including plants like water hyacinth and ragweed. The Federal Association has determined that they are not worth planting on a large scale."
You Zhengyu also asked, "It's very simple content, haven't you learned it? How did you pass the exam to become a planter at the military base?"
Julia's face turned pale and she said cunningly, "I was just for a moment..."
Su Liu interrupted again: "Alright, I don't have time for your nonsense. If you had put even a little bit of the effort you put into trying to be clever with me into collecting plants, you wouldn't have ended up with these useless weeds."
Julia lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly.
Qin Guan couldn't help but say, "Don't be so unreasonable. Julia is still young, can't you give her some ground?"
Su Liu almost threw his ID card in his face, "Big Brother, I'm still a student, I'm younger, okay? Also, if you want to be a hero and save the damsel, you have to consider the occasion. If you don't know the difference between right and wrong, you look really stupid, cheap, and lustful, don't you know that!"
Qin Guan knew he was in the wrong and turned away embarrassedly.
The atmosphere became a little tense, and Bixi tried to smooth things over by saying, "The rain has stopped. Should we continue exploring?"
A special forces soldier looked at the sky and said, "There might be more lightning. Let's wait a little longer."
As expected, less than ten minutes after the thunderstorm stopped, another snowstorm suddenly hit, enough to paralyze the city.
Nothing on this planet can be measured by the known common sense on Earth.
Over the past ten hours or so, the team has experienced torrential rain, blizzards, scorching sun, hail, freezing rain, and fog...
When the celestial phenomena finally returned to normal, Su Liu revealed a tired expression: "Let's continue exploring, time is running out."
In order to prevent the planters from wasting their time, Su Liu also took some photos that she had taken earlier.
"These are all high-value plants. If you see any, you can collect more with the help of the special forces. Be careful not to damage the roots. Also, we're moving south. That place is dark and humid, so there should be a lot of wild mushrooms."
You Zhengyu asked, "You want to collect mushrooms?"
"Well, be sure to preserve the fungus. If it's edible, you can consider artificially cultivating it in the future."
Su Liu likes to eat wild mushrooms very much, but there are no large tracts of virgin forests on the Imperial Star. Even if mushrooms grow occasionally, they will be eliminated by the military to ensure the safety of the city.
But the Dongzhou Forest is different. The southern area is damp and dark, and the soil is rich in humus. You can imagine how many wild mushrooms will grow there.
As for whether it can be eaten, we will have to wait until it is collected.
The team moved towards the south, and alien species kept attacking along the way, but were quickly dealt with by the special forces.
Su Liu also collected some valuable exotic animals and plants, and purified hundreds of coconut trees alone.
There are also longan, pineapple, star fruit, etc. that have degenerated and have poor taste and size.
It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t taste good now. Take it back and hand it over to the purifiers and growers for improvement and cultivation. Soon a perfect new fruit will be born.
After arriving in the southern forest, the special forces once again set up a safety circle.
Su Liu roughly purified the high-level alien species, and the remaining low-level ones could be dealt with using special guns and cannons.
Bi Xi and his companions carefully shuttled through the jungle and collected colorful mushrooms.
Mushrooms in nature are dreamy and beautiful, but the more colorful they are, the more dangerous they are.
Su Liu thought this was a truth that even a fool knew, but he didn't expect that these purifiers didn't understand it at all.
Ten minutes later, Su Liu rescued Bixi from the group of fluorescent mushrooms.
Bixi's face was swollen like a pig's head. Holding the fluorescent mushroom that Su Liu had just purified, she said obsessively, "It's so beautiful, like a sparkling jellyfish."
This mushroom emits a faint green fluorescence in a dark environment, which is indeed mysterious and romantic, but it becomes poisonous after mutation and can cause edema and allergies in humans.
Twenty minutes later, You Zhengyu fell into a trap and was burned by the bright red ghost pen, leaving the outside charred and the inside tender.
This mushroom is extremely bright and eye-catching in color. After mutation, it is surrounded by flames and will shoot fire beams to protect itself when threatened.
But You Zhengyu saw the flames and still rushed over to pick them up, and his glasses, hair and beard were burnt.
Thirty minutes later, Julia was in the woods, screaming, "Wow, this mushroom looks like a brain!"
Su Liu's eyelids jumped, and he quickly rushed over, only to see Julia lying under the giant brain mushroom, pointing at the sky and laughing.
"Ah, one handsome guy, two handsome guys, three handsome guys... they are all mine, hehehe..."
Su Liu: “…”
Pamper your own soldiers.
Forty minutes later, Qin Guan reached out to the mushroom and said, "I know this one. It's a blood-tooth fungus. Its 'blood' was used to make dyes..."
Su Liu screamed, "Don't move, don't move!"
It's too late.
Qin Guan's hand was bitten by the mutated blood tooth fungus. After being stunned for three seconds, his whole body quickly turned red, and then he fell to the ground and fainted.
Su Liu: “…”
After that, she saved this one and then that one, and then rushed back to save this one.
After spending hours rescuing people, Su Liu went crazy: "Didn't the textbook say to stay away from pretty mushrooms?"
