When Senran put the nutrient solution into the Star Brain, he inadvertently glanced at Lin Yiran's old-fashioned Star Brain.
He immediately turned his face away awkwardly. Okay, he really was poor.
It was his negligence that allowed the common people to live such a life. No way! When I get back, I'll definitely send that Deputy Zhang, who's in charge of population matters, to a desolate planet! He'll make sure you only know how to eat and never work!
Is the $10 billion that the federal government allocates to population policy every year just for them to squander?
At that moment, Zhang, the adjutant far away in the first star system, sneezed inexplicably: "Strange, there's no wind in broad daylight, how could I catch a cold?" Then he got up and closed the window in the room.
Lin Yiran: ……………………
Perhaps it was her 'tragic background' that evoked deep sympathy in the man, because Lin Yiran easily got the answer she wanted.
"We are now inside the mutated celery. The mutated celery cannot kill people on the outside, and it does not even have the ability to harm people. But the inside is different. The core is covered with countless mutated vines. Those vines are the mouthparts of the mutated celery, used to suck people's blood and spiritual power. They can contract and extend at will, but there is a time limit. They are especially sensitive during the riot. We cannot make any sound or even breathe."
“Just now… when you landed… you encountered the riot period of this mutated celery, so I did what I did. I’m sorry.”
Lin Yiran replied, "It's okay."
Then I continued listening to Senran speak; he understood these things very well.
"However, this mutated celery also has a dormant period. During the dormant period, we can move around freely, and the vines inside the mutated celery will not detect us. So we need to take advantage of the dormant period to find the core of this thing as soon as possible, destroy the core, and then we can get out."
He then asked Lin Yiran, "What is your mental power level? You didn't seem to use your mental power when you fell down just now?" He tilted his head, thinking that this girl was quite smart, knowing not to use her mental power, because in this Forest of Hope, if you used your mental power, you would be quickly locked onto by the mutated plants and attacked.
Lin Yiran didn't use her mental power when she fell, but she still made a sound that was detected by the mutated plants during their riotous period. That's why the vines followed and tried to harm Lin Yiran.
Lin Yiran: So Senran did that just now to protect himself?
What should I do? I suddenly feel a little guilty?
However, Lin Yiran honestly replied, "I have no mental power." Was this considered repayment? No, she'd better be honest.
Then Senran became impatient again: "We don't have time to play around here, and you don't need to lie to me. I can't steal your mental power, so why are you arguing with me? Or do you still think I'm untrustworthy, so you deliberately lied and hid your mental power level?" Senran was really annoyed.
He felt this girl was being overly cautious. He knew that someone from her upbringing would naturally be wary of others, but this wasn't the time to joke around. They needed to get out of there as soon as possible! Get out!
Every second she stays inside this mutated celery-filled chamber increases the danger; does she even understand that?!
But Lin Yiran still had an indifferent expression, and then stretched out her hand, as if to shake hands with him.
Senran: "You? What are you doing?"
Lin Yiran: "You can check for yourself whether I have mental power."
Zhou Ye had tested her in the same way before, which is why she stretched out her hand and let him test whether she had any spiritual power.
Seeing the other person's confident expression, Senran was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered and reached out to grasp Lin Yiran's hand. The moment their palms touched, Senran felt as if he had been electrocuted, but he still carefully calmed his mind and released a trace of spiritual power to investigate.
Indeed, they lacked mental strength.
Now Senran was completely relieved.
Well, this is really a burden. But he still said good-naturedly, "It's okay, just follow behind me and do whatever I tell you to do." He couldn't help but comfort himself, thinking that at least the other party's fighting skills were decent, so it should be of some use, right?
Or, just don't hold anyone back at crucial moments.
"Let's go find the core of that mutated celery now."
Seeing that the other party had not abandoned her, Lin Yiran decided to follow him step by step, mainly because she could tell from the man's appearance that he was probably quite strong.
"Huh? Then why are we heading this way? Is the core of the mutated celery in this direction?" Lin Yiran asked. Why couldn't they go in the direction they came from?
Senran knew she didn't understand anything, so he started explaining: "The core of a mutated plant above level 10 is red. Look over there, can you see a faint red light hidden in the darkness? It's very faint, but you can still detect it."
Lin Yiran glanced at it and realized, "Oh yes, there was indeed a red light coming from the direction they were heading, flickering faintly."
I must say, it's quite conspicuous in the darkness.
but?
"What?! A level 10 mutated plant?!" Lin Yiran was stunned for a moment, and after catching the special words in Sen Ran's words, she was as if she had been struck by lightning. Then she asked incredulously, "Are you sure?"
Senran said helplessly, "I'm very sure."
"But I should be the one who's most worried."
Lin Yiran automatically ignored the other party's words and then summoned System 101, which had been pretending to be dead.
"Is this really a level 10 mutated plant?"
System 101 said weakly, "Yes, it's a level 10 mutated plant. You can't beat it, and you can't escape. You're finished. I'll have to find a new host..." It even looked very regretful as it said that Lin Yiran was about to kick the bucket.
Lin Yiran was speechless for a moment: "No,...you!"
"Lend me a few crystal cores first! I really don't believe that my seventh-level metal-type ability can't deal with this level ten mutated plant!" Lin Yiran said indignantly.
101: "If we're talking about your peak metal-type ability, dealing with this level 10 mutated lynx would be more than enough. You could even kill it instantly with a level 5 metal-type ability."
"But host, don't forget that you still have a little bit of supernatural power left in your core, and you only have one crystal core left in your account. Even if you absorb all of this crystal core, you will only have the strength of a peak first-level cultivator, almost a second-level cultivator. How can you deal with that level ten mutated plant?"
"Besides, you only get one chance to buy on credit. You already used it last time, and I'll be punished if you borrow again. It's not just about how many popularity points you have to pay back."
