Chapter 20
How did she know this? Of course, she heard it from Xiang Haoyu in her previous life.
In fact, when Gu Qi first saw that these sparrows all had thunder-related abilities and their levels were not low, he wondered if they were the same group of thunder-related sparrows that Xiang Haoyu had encountered when he had an "adventure" in his previous life.
Xiang Haoyu's ability was stuck at level nine at the time, but he broke through to level ten with the help of the lightning crystal core and a pile of blue-purple stones he obtained during this fortuitous encounter, making him the first person with an ability to break through to level ten in the apocalypse.
What a coincidence!
Gu Qi looked up at the gray sky, his eyes filled with emotions that the sparrows could not understand.
The mother sparrow asked nervously, "So, does what you just said still count?"
"Yes," Gu Qi nodded. "Of course. As long as you sign a contract and do the things I ask you to do, you can eat the spiritual wheat I just mentioned every day. If you do well, I'll give you even better food in the future."
After confirming that the content of the contract would not harm them, the sparrows signed the contract with Gu Qi and became members of the cave.
Gu Qi lowered her eyes to look at the few lines of ink calligraphy that only she could see.
Jiucang Cave
Repair progress: 2.87%
Current level: Level 1 hill
Upgrade conditions: Host's foundation building (achieved), 10 second-level spiritual plants (3/10), 10 second-level ores (6/10), 9987.3 high-quality spiritual stones.
Current functions: Hide, Store, Meditation, Rest, Purify
Unlocked facilities: Simple hut, Biling Grassland (growing), Spirit Well, Medicinal Field (1), Spirit Wheat Field (1), Ordinary Vegetable Field (3), Animal Garden (to be built)
Just as she expected, after the sparrows signed the contract, the progress of the cave restoration increased by 1%, and there was an additional zoo to be built.
This is considered the hidden content of the cave, which was discovered by Gu Qi by accident when he was in the world of immortal cultivation.
In addition to the given upgrade conditions, increasing the types of spiritual plants in the cave can improve the repair progress, and increasing the number of spiritual beasts can also improve the repair progress. The higher the potential of the spiritual beast, the greater the improvement.
In addition, you can also improve your progress by burying mineral veins. This is the fastest way to improve, but of course it is also relatively the most difficult.
The repair progress was accelerated, and Gu Qi clearly felt that the concentration of spiritual energy in the cave had increased significantly at this moment.
Unexpectedly, the potential of this group of mutant sparrows is higher than she expected. She originally thought that an improvement of 0.05% would be good.
The smile on Gu Qi's face became more genuine.
He grabbed two handfuls of spirit wheat and fed them to the mutant sparrows. Gu Qi waved his hand and said, "You can find a place to stay, just don't go too close to the cabin."
She had to move the mutant peach tree that had just taken root to a new location first. She couldn't just randomly find a place to take root.
Gu Qi was in a good mood, humming a tune and planting trees, but Xiang Haoyu on the other side was not in a very good mood.
First, he plotted against someone he had met once, but failed and ended up being cheated by the other party. In the end, he gained nothing and was even injured, causing further damage to his body, which had not fully recovered.
Then the off-road vehicle was "accidentally" damaged by the other party. It was getting dark, and they were forced to stop in this somewhat dangerous place to repair the car.
Not long after he sat down to rest, Xiang Haoyu subconsciously raised his hand to cover his chest. He inexplicably felt a sudden palpitation, as if he had suddenly lost something very important to him.
"Could it be the two crystal cores just now?" Xiang Haoyu murmured softly.
He felt something was not right. He couldn't use the two crystal cores, one water and one fire.
Liu Yun, who was sitting next to him, heard the voice and asked, "What did Brother Hao just say? I didn't hear it clearly."
"Nothing." Xiang Haoyu shook his head and turned to look at Zhang Lie who was changing the wheel. "It's getting dark, haven't you changed it yet?"
"Why are you rushing me? Why don't you come yourself?" Zhang Lie replied unhappily.
If Xiang Haoyu hadn't provoked that group of people, how could the tires be burned by that fire-type mutant, and how could they be forced to stop in this dangerous place to repair the car?
Recalling the fireball shot by the fire-type mutant, Zhang Lie was still frightened. He had been a little afraid of fire since the bus explosion, and now, after what happened, he couldn't help but tremble slightly when he thought about it.
“Click…”
Zhang Lie's hand shook, and the tire he had just replaced fell off again and rolled farther and farther away.
Xiang Haoyu yelled, "What are you standing there for? Go catch up! I don't have any other replacements in my space!"
"What are you yelling about? You just have a loud voice, right? I quit. Go after them yourself!" Zhang Lie roared hoarsely like a devil from hell.
Then he threw the tools in his hand to the ground, walked over and sat down to stop working.
Xiang Haoyu and Zhang Lie were arguing with each other, but Wan Shiwen and others who had left them behind were in the same good mood as Gu Qi.
"No wonder they like to pick up bargains so much. This is like getting a crystal core for free. It feels so good to hold it." Wan Shiwen played with the fire crystal core the size of a pigeon egg, and the corners of her lips couldn't suppress a smile.
"Indeed." The girl with short hair nodded.
They were fighting the water-type mutant plants, but suddenly a few people showed up and wanted to interfere, intending to pick up the mutant plants they were about to kill. They acted arrogantly as if they were here to help them. It was really disgusting.
Fortunately, Sister Wen had a backup plan. Those people failed to steal the water mutant plant, and not only did they fail to get the water mutant plant, but the crystal core of the fire mutant plant that they had been forced to fight for half a day also fell into their hands.
The short-haired girl, who secretly laughed at Xiang Haoyu and the others, paused and asked curiously, "Hey, Sister Wen, I don't think I've seen this stone tablet in your hand before. It looks pretty good."
"Someone gave it to me." Wan Shiwen put the ink-colored stone tablet back into the innermost part of her waist bag and did not reveal any more.
Seeing that she didn't want to talk, the girl with short hair didn't ask any more questions and changed the topic to other things.
At the same time, hundreds of miles away—
Gu Qi, who had just moved the mutant peach tree, took out the slightly hot communication stone tablet. After listening to the content, the corners of her mouth raised a little more.
Today is such a good day.
Gu Qi looked up outside the cave, in the direction of the Hope Base, and made a decision in his heart.
Everything was ready, and it was time for her to go out to the base.
Not knowing what the situation was like with his brother, Gu Qi thought to himself: Xiang Haoyu and the others were held back this time, and without his conspiracy, my brother shouldn't fall into that trap again, right?
When he thought of what happened to Gu Yuan in his previous life, frost spread in Gu Qi's eyes, and the hand holding the hoe tightened.
For some reason, she still felt a little uneasy. Gu Qi looked up at the sky, as if she was looking at something else through the gray sky.
When he lowered his eyes again, the complex emotions in Gu Qi's eyes had disappeared, leaving only determination.
Gu Qi casually put the hoe into the storage space and walked out of the cave.
After stepping out of the land belonging to the cave, Gu Qi raised his hand slightly and waved it, and the hills with some greenery disappeared instantly.
At the same time, there was something different in Gu Qi's spiritual sea. In addition to the crystal core with a little blue at the end, there was also a miniature cave in the spiritual sea.
The natal weapon hidden in Gu Qi's dantian trembled slightly, making a buzzing sound.
[Qiqi, why did you take this guy in? Is he leaving here?]
The miniature cave in the spiritual sea also vibrated slightly, but it ignored the sword spirit and instead said to Gu Qi, "Are you hungry, Ah Qi? Do you want some more spiritual wheat buns?"
As he spoke, the spirit of the weapon left the spiritual sea, and the mist-like little man landed on Gu Qi's shoulder, sticking close to him happily.
"Not hungry yet." Gu Qi shook his head slightly and asked, "Can you take something out of the core space now?"
The weapon spirit pondered for a moment, nodded, and whispered, "Okay, but you can only take one at most. Items with higher levels cannot be touched for the time being."
Gu Qi: "That's enough. Just take an ordinary sword."
Upon hearing this, the sword spirit suddenly became unhappy. [Qiqi, isn't it enough for you to have me?]
Gu Qi: "Have you recovered?"
Gu Qi had previously used up her remaining spiritual power in an argument with Jiu Cang, so she took it back into her dantian to nourish it. It was okay to let it out occasionally, but she was going to fly all the way to Hope Base on her sword, which would take more than a few minutes.
The sword spirit, which had been feeling a little resentful just now, suddenly fell silent upon hearing this, and stayed obediently in the dantian, no longer thinking about going out.
Blade & Soul: Qiqi, are you concerned about yourself? >v<
"This seems to be something I made before?" Gu Qi looked at the long sword that Jiu Cang took out with some surprise and asked uncertainly.
Her weapon-refining ability was pretty good, and this sword could be considered a top-grade second-grade one, but it was still inferior to the ones Jiu Cang had shown her before.
Gu Qi remembered that she had asked Jiu Cang to help collect the magic weapons she had refined. She thought that they were stored in the storage space of the cave like other things, and would be crushed into ashes in the time and space travel like other things. She didn't expect that they were actually in Jiu Cang's core space?
Jiucang's core space is not as big as the storage space of the cave, and most of the things in it are still limited.
As far as he could remember, Jiu Cang even looked down upon the high-grade magic weapons refined by the sect's weapon-refining elders. He threw them all into the storage space of the cave and was unwilling to store them in the core space to take up space.
Noticing Gu Qi's surprise, the mist-like figure gradually turned pink and whispered back, "All those things you refined that you asked me to collect before are still there."
All the available space in the core space was used to store Aqi's things. Unfortunately, most of them were of higher levels, and the progress of the cave restoration was too slow to move.
"So that's how it is." Gu Qi nodded in understanding. This was a pleasant surprise.
When the progress of the cave restoration increases a little more and Jiucang can take out more things, she can melt them down to repair her natal weapon. In her memory, the magic weapons that Jiucang put away were all made of top-quality materials.
However, no matter how much you think about it, you still have to wait until the level of the cave is upgraded to realize it.
Gu Qi raised his hand and threw the sword, then lightly tapped his toes and landed on the suspended sword, then flew straight towards the Hope Base.
Because it was late in the evening, the visibility around was greatly reduced. In order to save some spiritual energy, Gu Qi did not use the concealment technique.
Even if someone saw it, it wouldn't be a big problem. There were many kinds of superpowers in the apocalypse, and she had the ability to control objects in her previous life. Besides, with her speed of flying the sword, even if someone noticed it, they wouldn't have the chance to see it clearly.
This is indeed the case.
Gu Qi flew on her sword at an extremely fast speed. She also met other people during the journey, but most of them didn't notice her at all. The few who noticed her disappeared as soon as they looked up.
The journey was very smooth, and Gu Qi soon arrived at a small village near the Hope Base, which was only about an hour's drive away.
Of course, this one hour refers to the speed at which she flies the sword. If someone else were to drive, it would probably take most of the day. After all, driving cannot move in a straight line like Gu Qi flying the sword.
As his spiritual energy was almost exhausted, Gu Qi chose to rest in this village.
There are no living people in the village, only wandering zombies and well-camouflaged mutated plants.
Gu Qi cleaned up some of the zombies and entered a relatively cleaner house. He sat down to rest and took out the steamed buns made by Jiu Cang and started eating them.
"Meow!" "Bang!"
There was some noise coming from not far away, but Gu Qi didn't even raise his head and continued eating.
Long before she got close, she discovered that a mutant cat and a mutant dog were fighting not far away. Gu Qi did not intend to get involved. She just wanted to take a simple rest and then get to the Hope Base as soon as possible.
But sometimes things don't always go as we wish.
Outside the village, the mutant cats and dogs that were fighting suddenly stopped, turned their heads to look at the same place, and in tacit understanding, they twitched their noses and sniffed the smell in the air.
“Meow…”
It smells so good, I really want to eat it!
The mutant dog nodded in agreement. Although it didn't smell like meat at all, it felt more attractive to it than meat.
The mutant cat and dog, who had just been fighting, looked at each other.
"Ouch?"
How about not playing now and playing after eating?
"Woof!"
Okay, let’s fight again after eating!
