Chapter 27 Twenty-Seventh Night [Two in One]
Sensitive Anlock
Yun Wanwan didn't care what reasons Anluo used to convince her; she just wanted to see the result she wanted. And she wasn't lying. Even if Anluo didn't eat the food, the Devil Ivy would help her out, so there wouldn't be any waste.
Although in Anlock's opinion, it was a waste and completely incomprehensible that these good things were eaten by the mutant plants next to them.
Yun Wanwan had no plans to reduce the amount she made. After all, she wasn't yet so precise as to only make two bites at a time, and she was afraid the pot would be burnt before she even put the spatula down.
As for Anlock, I don’t know if he was stimulated, but every day he either went out hunting or strolled around to see if he could find new species.
Following Yun Wanwan's instructions, Anlok retrieved the original, unmodified peppers and tested them. The results delighted Anlok immensely. Although the contamination level was far higher than the peppers processed by Yun Wanwan, the ingredients within them that could enhance physical fitness were stable and abundant. With the Imperial Research Institute's capabilities, it was entirely possible to extract these ingredients from the contamination. Even if they couldn't do it now, it would only take a while longer to research. Anlok had great confidence in the Imperial Research Institute.
Everything was going in a good direction. Even the little seed that was working hard in the house was behaving very differently, which made Jun Junbai worried. Finally, one morning, facing the rising sun - although it was difficult for sunlight to fall under the dense forest, the atmosphere was still necessary - the little seed chose a very good time to welcome the most important moment in its life.
At the same time, Yun Wanwan felt something in her heart. It was as if she heard a sound of bubbles bursting in her body. With a pop, the barrier that had shackled her for some time was finally broken.
Judging from her cultivation level, she should now be a cultivator at the second level of Qi Refining.
Yun Wanwan curled her lips. This cultivation speed was still too slow, and the gap was too great compared to her previous life's experience. Of course, it wasn't that this body was innately lacking, but rather that the current world's environment limited it. Being able to cultivate to this level with this body was already the best result of the combined effect of talent and experience.
Of course, the breakthrough was able to be made so quickly because of the feedback after the small seeds broke out of the shell.
This made Yun Wanwan realize that this world also has hidden rules, such as cause and effect. Even though there was no contract between her and the Devil Ivy, with the gift of spiritual power again and again, they had a little more indescribable connection with her.
Now that the little seed has broken out of its shell, it has fed back to her extremely powerful strength - compared to the spiritual power she usually absorbs every day - it has directly helped her break through the second level of Qi Refining.
Tsk, she has indeed fallen. She actually described such a small amount of spiritual power as "extremely powerful".
Yun Wanwan looked at the trembling little green sprout in the box. The small seed that had used all its strength to break out of the shell had now turned into a pitiful little leaf. It didn't even have the strength to stretch out its leaves, and lay limply at the bottom of the box.
Like a bean sprout that has lost hope.
Oh, not even as good as bean sprouts.
"How about I call you Bean Sprout from now on?"
Originally a small seed, now a small bean sprout: powerless to resist.
The quiet, yet bustling little courtyard seemed to have a new kind of life thanks to Little Bean Sprout's arrival. Little Bean Sprout knew that Yun Wanwan was his breadwinner, the one who controlled his life and death, his future. So, after hatching safely, he'd been incredibly well-behaved, not eager to be buried—hmm? What's wrong?—but rather, he loved to hang on Yun Wanwan's head, swaying in the wind amidst her smooth, jet-black hair.
An Luoke looked at the tender and delicate little bean sprouts on Yun Wanwan's head, and then at the emerald green vine bracelet on her wrist. He just thought that Yun Wanwan's aesthetic taste was quite interesting and he had no wrong thoughts at all.
Yun Wanwan, who already had a certain understanding of Anluoke, knew that this young man was imagining things when he shouldn't, and when he should be imagining things, his brain was like a pause, and he couldn't think of anything.
Well, it's just a weirdo.
Yun Wanwan didn't bother explaining things to Anluo that he couldn't understand anyway—at this moment, she had to reminisce about the sensible Shi Kaien and Wu Yan. It was easy to talk to smart people. Of course, it wasn't that Anluo wasn't smart; anyone who could get to that level wouldn't be smart. It was just that their minds weren't in sync, and the communication felt like a whole other dimension.
Oh, in fact, it is indeed a dimension apart, but Kane and Wu Yan can understand it!
Yun Wanwan reached out and scooped up the mushroom, shifting its smooth cap. The shy mushroom shook its stem, trying hard not to make a gurgling sound: "That shelled human is still nearby!" It must hold back!
Anlock pretended that he didn't notice the restraint of the black mushroom. He was not stupid. After staying there for a few days, he certainly noticed the uniqueness of these mutated plants. He had fought with the devil vine several times in secret. It was rare to encounter a devil vine that was too lazy to pay attention to him. He was very surprised.
However, after staying with Yun Wanwan for a long time, you will realize that nothing is a surprise, it’s just that you have too little experience.
"Miss Yun, is it okay to put this thing here?"
From a certain perspective, the interaction between Yun Wanwan and the black mushroom is quite weird. Even if it is not a mutant plant, holding such a big black mushroom in her arms like a pet is strange enough.
Anlock felt that being able to treat these scenes calmly was an extremely strong mentality.
"Sure, you can arrange it."
Yun Wanwan glanced at Anluo casually. It was obvious that Anluo was extremely talented in storage and organization. In just a short period of time, he had organized her small courtyard in perfect order. After Anluo's replanning, it not only met Yun Wanwan's needs, but also looked full of wildness and regular beauty.
It is completely different from Yun Wanwan’s original lines that were wrapped in nature. Well, Yun Wanwan thinks that’s also good.
Anlock had reclaimed several plots of land behind the small courtyard, which he had done with his own hands. It was true that the little robot could clean the courtyard and the house, but it had no talent for farming. After all, there was no ready-made program to input. Anlock had no talent for programming, and his intelligent brain was not as advanced as the one in the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Yun Wanwan had high requirements for the soil, and the granularity of the soil and the size after crushing were all taken into consideration. Although Anlock didn't understand, he fully met Yun Wanwan's requirements and didn't complain at all even when he was covered in dirt. Yun Wanwan was also very happy to see him enjoying it.
She would never admit that she was lazy. After all, after she had achieved a high level of cultivation in her previous life, she had not "personally" done these little things for a long time. Moreover, if she did not find something for Anluo to do, he would feel uncomfortable and would have all kinds of wild thoughts.
"There are a lot of seeds sprouting in the field out back. Should I go water them or something?" At this point, Anlock's gaze couldn't help but fall on Yun Wanwan's head. The crisp little bean sprouts seemed similar to those growing in the field, and they seemed to be taller.
Witnessing with his own eyes the fresh green shoots growing on the land he had cultivated, Anluo felt a special sense of accomplishment. He even began to imagine that if he was kicked out by the Crown Prince one day, he would be able to make a living by farming.
You have to know that in today's world, it is impossible for normal crops to grow on artificially cultivated land. Even seeds that have been purified long ago will be contaminated the moment they hit the ground. They can only be grown on purified land in a completely isolated protective shield. However, the crops that grow are unsatisfactory, with low survival rates and low yields. Those that can be left for seeds are extremely rare.
Anlock knew all of this, and it could be said that this was common knowledge among all interstellar people. Humans had been looking for a way out for so many years, and he had never imagined that one day he would be able to personally participate, cultivate the crops with his own hands, and even see them sprout.
The clean, healthy little seedlings swayed right before his eyes. All the hard work of many days - well, it didn't seem that hard - had paid off.
"Not needed for now."
Clean water sources are equally valuable. Although her cultivation has improved and she can produce a lot of water using the Water Condensation Technique, her spiritual power is needed in other places and cannot be fully used to condense water, so the amount of clean water she can use every day is not much.
If you think about it carefully, the future of this world cannot be supported solely by the Water Condensation Technique. We still need some other methods.
Hearing Yun Wanwan's words, Anlock nodded without any objection. Not only was the water source limited, but also because he had no experience in farming. If there was anything, he would just listen to Yun Wanwan's instructions.
"How's the search for water going?"
"Found it." Anlok rubbed his hands, looked at the dirt on his gloves, and couldn't help but smile when he thought of his gains over the past few days. "We should be able to bring water here today, but..."
However, the water source is also heavily polluted and cannot be used directly even if it is diverted.
Anluo was very curious about what Yun Wanwan would do. Even if Yun Wanwan didn't tell him, he could guess that Yun Wanwan wanted to purify the water source. He had become numb to watching Yun Wanwan pinch her fingers every day to condense a lot of pure water. Now that Yun Wanwan could purify the water source directly, he didn't find it strange at all.
"Do you want to lead it here directly?"
Anlock was not sure about this.
Yun Wanwan directly gave Anluo a set of drawings.
"What is this?" Anluoke was not stupid and saw it at a glance. "Are we going to build a water pipeline based on this?"
"Um."
The patterns on the drawing looked dizzying. Anlock wanted to take a closer look, but he felt a sharp pain in his brain and couldn't help but look away.
Noticing Anlok's unusual behavior, Yun Wanwan couldn't help but exclaim, "Huh?" This young man was truly sensitive.
"Can you understand?"
Anluoke, who had almost understood it, became uncertain after the dizziness. "Maybe... I understand it?"
"The data above is all marked, including all the locations. You should be able to build it exactly, right?"
This was related to his professional ability. An Luoke immediately straightened his back and said, "I must be able to do it!"
Yun Wanwan smiled and nodded.
These messy pipes were built around the pool where the sapling was, and the pattern that caused Anlock to react allergically was the array pattern drawn by Yun Wanwan, which was displayed by the pipes.
It’s a pity that no one in this world can understand the patterns of these formations.
To put it simply, this formation is used to conceal the location of the small pond and protect it. As long as the pipeline is built, ordinary people will no longer be able to easily approach the small pond, and may not even be able to sense its existence.
The more mentally powerful a person is, the greater the impact will be.
Anluoke's reaction was quite interesting. Yun Wanwan thought she could test him to see if he had any intention of practicing. If so, she would memorize all the basics of cultivation from the textbooks, the most fundamental knowledge that could destroy Anluoke's worldview.
Yun Wanwan pursed her lips and smiled.
The supplies arranged by Shi Kane are also being delivered to the planet one after another. Unlike other planets where there are special teams to carry out construction, no one else will land on this special planet without Shi Kane's permission, so the supplies have to be picked up by Anlock himself.
Yun Wanwan also knew that in addition to personally building the pipeline network here, Anlock also arranged robots to build camps and protection systems in the area where he settled outside.
With robots and ready-made materials, building a house is very simple. Yun Wanwan went to see it and found that in just a few days, a large area of livable houses had been built, with complete protection and purification systems.
There is a large row of rooms prepared for Yun Wanwan, which include the most advanced research equipment that Shi Kane can mobilize to support Yun Wanwan's research and experimental work. A lot of them were delivered later, and Anlock arranged them properly in them so that Yun Wanwan can use them at any time.
Although Yun Wanwan hasn't used them yet, based on Anlock's recent observations, Yun Wanwan's "research" doesn't seem to require these at all, but he does use these devices the most.
Yun Wanwan could give him surprises every day, and every test data was like a miracle sent by God. Unfortunately, these were secrets that he could not share with anyone else. He could only contact His Royal Highness the Crown Prince through a single line. How to use these discoveries and data was still up to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to arrange.
For the conversationalist Anluo, although this kind of life is full of joy every day, it is a bit too boring. Every time he talks to Yun Wanwan, he can only say a few words before he meets Yun Wanwan's half-smile, which makes him unable to say the rest of the words.
He could only communicate with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince through a single line, and Kane's official tone would not give him the opportunity to talk too much.
If he keeps holding it in like this, he might even be able to chat with the grass and flowers on the roadside.
On the other side, Wu Yan was also helpless.
He was only away for two months to deal with personal matters and settle his friends in the group. After so many years of hard work, he had accumulated a lot of property. Recently, he offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Empire. It was a good time for him to hide away, have a good rest and enjoy life.
Speaking of enjoying life, Wu Yan felt that even on the garbage planet, everything Yun Wanwan provided was enjoyment. Unlike them, they usually only ate messy nutrient solution and barely survived.
As a result, when he returned to the Y4162 star field, he found that although Shi Kane did not pursue him openly, the place was indeed strictly guarded in all aspects.
Oh, are you so worried that he will return to Yun Wanwan?
Shi Kane is different from him. As the Crown Prince, he doesn't have much time to act willfully. He has the entire empire behind him. Unless there is a suitable heir, Shi Kane will never be able to escape in this life.
What does status matter? To Wu Yan, it is just layer upon layer of shackles.
He can withdraw at any time, but there is no place for him to stay in this world.
But the brief time he spent with Yun Wanwan gave Wu Yan an illusion that it would be nice to stay there, as if that was what life should be like.
It’s a pity that Shi Kane didn’t want to give him this opportunity.
Looking at the heavily guarded and surrounded Y4162 star field, Wu Yan was so angry that he laughed.
In just two months, a complete defense line was established to surround the Y4162 star field. Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince guarding against thieves?
In addition to protecting Yun Wanwan, it also has the effect of preventing thieves and snooping. Of course, the person who needs to be most guarded against is him, the leader of the star pirate group.
Did he think he had no way out? Shi Kaien was on guard against him, and he was also on guard against Shi Kaien!
Wu Yan curled his lips and opened Yun Wanwan's communication number on the smart brain.
"Hmm?" Yun Wanwan rarely used the communication number. Not only did she not know anyone, but she also couldn't contact anyone on the garbage planet. Suddenly receiving a call from Wu Yan, she was a little surprised. "What's going on?"
The fact that he could communicate with her only meant that Wu Yan was very close to her, at least near the Y4162 star field, otherwise the communication would not be possible. But why did he still need to communicate with her if he was already nearby?
Soon, Wu Yan complained to Yun Wanwan in his pleasant voice, with a tone of grievance: "Wanwan, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so mean. He actually stopped me from coming over. I'm now blocked outside the Y4162 star field. There's no way to get in. What should I do?"
Yun Wanwan tilted her head with a smile. Yingying in her arms became even more alert when she heard Wu Yan's voice, and the hair on her back stood up. "You tried, but you can't get in?"
Wu Yan: "Uh..."
He hadn't tried it yet, but looking at the strength of the defense, he knew he couldn't get close. He could certainly charge in, but he would definitely be beaten up. The mecha he had just acquired couldn't withstand such a powerful attack.
"Why do you have to sneak in? Can't you just walk in openly?"
"I don't think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will leave me a pass." Even if other people can enter normally, it won't be him. Wu Yan's voice softened, and he sounded so aggrieved and pitiful. "He is targeting me. Wanwan, what do you think I should do? Otherwise, come and pick me up!"
Yun Wanwan: “…”
To be honest, even if she has some cultivation now, it is only a little bit of spiritual power reserve. Her physical condition is not as good as that of ordinary people. She relies on the special properties of the skills to move freely on the garbage planet. She doesn't think she can survive in the universe if she leaves the planet.
Wu Yan thought that Shi Kaien's arrangements must be in place. Even if Yun Wanwan wanted to travel between the stars, she would definitely be able to do it. When the time comes and Shi Kaien knows that Yun Wanwan came to pick her up in person, Shi Kaien will definitely be so angry that he will spin on the ground.
"Mr. Wu Yanwu, how do you think I should come to pick you up? Should I fly over?"
She's not flying in the clouds now.
"Oh, Wanwan, hasn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made any arrangements for you? No matter what it is, there should be at least some means of transportation like mechas and starships, right?" It was just a joke originally, but when he said this, Wu Yan himself frowned. If there really was no means of transportation arranged, and the periphery was still so tightly guarded, it didn't feel like he was protecting Yun Wanwan, but more like he was going to imprison Yun Wanwan here.
"So Mr. Wu, do you think I can pilot a mecha or a starship?"
Wu Yan: “…” The good thing is that he made a mistake.
With Yun Wanwan's small body, no matter how many miracles she performed, she couldn't pilot a mecha. After coming out, he also investigated Yun Wanwan's past. Wu Yan found it difficult to tell whether what he learned about Yun Wanwan's past was true or not. Of course, whether it was true or not, Yun Wanwan didn't look like she could pilot a starship.
"Then what should I do? Wanwan doesn't miss me at all?"
"To be honest, I didn't really think about it."
"Did Wanwan forget our agreement? I'm still waiting in line!"
"Well, is there a possibility that even if your number is called, your queue might still be invalid?" Yun Wanwan looked at An Luoke who was working hard not far away and smiled. "There's another possibility. I have a better option here."
Wu Yan:!!!
What do you mean by a better choice?! Does this mean someone is trying to cut in line?!
