Just like those machines, those who participated can form a company once the industrial chain is completed, and the others can receive dividends.
Those who put in more effort receive more, and those who put in less effort receive less.
For example, Ling Jiuqi's storage is on the "more" side.
However, they will all end up in Lin Hu's pocket in the end. After all, she is a system and has no superpowers at all, so why would she need so many crystal cores?
It's similar to the pre-apocalyptic world, except the money has been replaced by crystal cores.
Lin Hu simply stir-fried a dish and made three bowls of rice.
As Lin Hu ate, he suddenly missed Zhang Wei's cooking skills. Sure enough, a chef is a chef; the food he makes is delicious.
Ling Jiuqi's expression reflected the same thought, but Duan Linzhou was unsure, his expression revealing no emotion.
After dinner, Duan Linzhou went to wash the dishes. Lin Hu greeted him and then returned to his room, where the ice lotus had already turned white.
It was a seed that looked like a lotus seed, and Lin Hu held it in his hand to study it.
"Knock knock!"
There was a knock on the door. Lin Hu guessed it was Ling Jiuqi. Duan Linzhou was shamelessly staying in the same room with him again, and he would just open the door as soon as he came in.
Lin Hu opened the door, and a white figure, only waist-high to him, stood in the doorway.
"What's wrong?" Lin Hu asked curiously, knowing that Ling Jiuqi must have something important to tell him, so he stepped aside to let her in.
Ling Jiuqi also went in and sat down on a lounge chair in front of the French windows before speaking: "The contract of the Ice Lotus White Flower is different from that of the Rose. I'm here to teach you."
Lin Hu closed the door, effectively blocking out Ling Jiuqi's voice. He took the lotus seeds in his hand, went over, and sat down in the chair opposite her.
"How do I do it?" Lin Hu asked, opening his palm. A bright green lotus seed lay quietly in his hand.
"Make a large cut on your palm, then hold the lotus seed in your hand without letting go. You will fall into a coma, and you must not let go even while you are unconscious. It will take anywhere from two or three days to train."
As Ling Jiuqi spoke, she noticed a piece of candy on the table and her eyes lit up with envy.
Lin Hu pushed the candy towards Ling Jiuqi. It was something he had taken from the supermarket before, but he didn't like it and had just left it there as decoration.
"Tell Duan Linzhou before you do it, so he won't worry," Ling Jiuqi said. Actually, she wasn't worried about Duan Linzhou worrying, but she was afraid that Duan Linzhou would move Lin Hu's body randomly and knock the lotus seeds off.
"Okay." Lin Hu glanced at the lotus seed in his palm and decided to try it now.
As they walked downstairs with Ling Jiuqi, Duan Linzhou was still wiping the kitchen countertop.
Lin Hu briefly explained the situation and the origin of the seeds to him before going back upstairs.
Thinking of the several unconscious people, Lin Hu decided to sit on the bed so that he could fall asleep as soon as he lay down. He also carefully placed a trash can next to the bed in case any blood dripped onto the bed.
So he sat on the bed, hunched over, and stretched his hands out over the edge of the bed, letting them dangle over the trash can.
Lin Hu held a sharpened knife in his hand, hesitating about how to make his move.
Just as Lin Hu remained in that position for almost a minute without moving, he suddenly felt a cramp in his hand holding the kitchen knife.
Just as I was about to put the cleaver down to rub my hands, the cleaver suddenly slipped from my grasp.
Lin Hu originally thought that what followed would be a scene where the cleaver cut into the bone, but unexpectedly, it only left a wound less than 5 centimeters long on his palm.
Is it such a coincidence?
A hint of doubt arose in Lin Hu's mind, but before he could think further, blood was already flowing from his palm, dripping into the trash can.
Lin Hu quickly placed the lotus seeds on the bloodstain, clenched his fist, and was about to wrap his hand with the gauze next to him when his vision began to blur rapidly.
"So fast?"
Lin Hu only had time to utter a single complaint before collapsing onto the bed.
The palms holding the lotus seeds no longer bled, as if the blood had been absorbed by the lotus seeds.
When Duan Linzhou went upstairs, he saw that Lin Hu was already unconscious, and there was a kitchen knife lying in the trash can with blood on it.
He knew that Lin Hu was making a pact with Lian Zi, but it was still an eyesore to look at.
He covered Lin Hu with a blanket, cleaned up the trash can, and then went to wash up.
Not knowing when Lin Hu would wake up, Duan Linzhou stayed by his side. During the day, he would fish for treasure chests on the raft, but he dared not leave the raft, fearing that someone with the No. 005 teleportation array might teleport to their location and pose a threat to Lin Hu.
During this time, the area was quiet, no different from usual; people chatted and sold their goods.
The only difference is in private; many rafts are all converging on one other side: "Azure Dragon Island."
This is the island in Duan Bohai's territory. The name was given to it purely because the Azure Dragon that Duan Linzhou had saved earlier requested it.
It had a prior agreement with Duan Linzhou, in which Duan Linzhou agreed to release it in exchange for the latter serving as his island's guardian beast for a hundred years.
However, he didn't directly say it was a guardian beast of the island; he was fooling people into thinking it was a legendary dragon that was stationed on the island.
The Azure Dragon was flattered and thought that a hundred years was just a matter of sleeping for dragons, so it happily signed the Dragon Oath with Duan Linzhou.
Having been locked up for so long, and with a childlike mentality, they were completely coaxed into leaving.
Three days later, Lin Hu woke up at four o'clock in the afternoon, feeling full of energy.
And after three days, he didn't feel hungry at all.
The scar and lotus seed on his palm were gone. He sat up and felt his body for any abnormalities. He could indeed feel a peculiar energy fluctuation in his right palm, which had been cut earlier.
He closed his eyes and felt the energy, which seemed to travel along his entire right arm.
This should be your Ice Lotus White Flower, Lin Hu tried to summon, gathering all the chaotic energy in his palm.
When Lin Hu opened his eyes, he saw a palm-sized flower in his hand, with pale blue flames swirling around the edges of its seven transparent, ice-like petals.
Unlike Qin Yaowei's white flowers, Lin Hu's were ice flowers, which looked as if they were accompanied by blue flames.
This shouldn't be called the Ice Lotus White Flower; it should be called the Ice Lotus Flame Flower.
The flowers in her hand swayed as if greeting Lin Hu.
It's quite cute.
Lin Hu pointed at the flower with his finger and was surprised to find that the petals instantly closed up and merged into a flower bud.
Is she shy?
"How about I name you Yan?" Lin Hu gently twirled his finger above the flower bud.
Whether the flower bud heard Lin Hu's words or was pinched by Lin Hu's fingers, it instantly bloomed.
"I'll take that as your agreement. It's beautiful." After Lin Hu finished speaking, Yan used two green leaves from the base of the stem to walk up his arm and stop on Lin Hu's shoulder.
So this is its habit?
"Can you talk?" Lin Hu asked Yan by the lakeside as he got up to go to the bathroom to wash up.
Flame shook his head, indicating that he was saying "no".
Fearing Lin Hu wouldn't see it, it would brush its petals across Lin Hu's neck as it shook its head, so that the other could feel it.
