Ye Shang nodded: "Yes, let's go check out the situation."
Liang You's eyes darted around. Since there were also a large number of mutated species in the sea, why did they need to go to land to collect them?
Can we come along?
Ye Shang gave a half-smile: "What do you think?"
Liang You knew he wouldn't get a good deal, and might even have to pay more. "We'll pay, consider it a travel expense?"
Ye Shang raised an eyebrow slightly, "You didn't bring any food?"
"I brought some, but it definitely won't be enough to last that long."
Their storage bags contained more than half a month's worth of food.
Ye Shang calculated how much he should charge: "Two energy stones per person per day."
Meng Qiulan's eyes widened instantly, her fingers trembling: "You... why don't you just rob someone?!"
Ye Shang glanced at them expressionlessly: "The sea is fraught with danger. If you are unwilling, you can turn back."
The meaning is clear: it's not mandatory, it's all about voluntary participation.
Meng Qiulan gritted her teeth and took out a lot of energy stones from her storage bag. "I'm going, I definitely have to go. This is my accommodation and food allowance for this month."
Because of the green crystal core she brought back, her second brother's cultivation technique advanced several stages. The family rewarded her with a lot of energy stones, allowing her to cultivate in the most energy-rich area in the family's central region for a whole year.
She was also rewarded with a simple storage bag, which was not only precious but also rare in the family. Apart from the eldest and second eldest brothers, not every other brother and sister could have one. Although the space was very small, it was very practical!
Therefore, she must bring back another mutated crystal core this time.
Ye Shang took it, weighed it, and said, "Hmm, not bad, that's about right." She asked Liang You, "Okay, what about you?"
Seeing that Meng Qiulan was so agreeable, Liang You also agreed. He also agreed to profit quite a bit. Since both of them were born out of wedlock, resources couldn't be given to them, so they had to earn it themselves.
He wasn't going to give up this time either, so he took out a bag of energy stones from the storage pouch in his backpack: "These are mine."
The energy stones are all individually packaged in bags, not all kept together, to avoid losing too much money at once. There are too many capable and extraordinary people in this world, so it's best to avoid trouble if possible.
Ye Shang took the energy stone and put the dark black crystal core into his spatial storage. "We can trade the crystal core next time when you bring enough energy stones."
Liang You nodded: "Mm."
They didn't have enough to trade for the crystal core. Oh well, I'll explain the situation to them when I get back to my family.
Ye Shang asked Han Yi to take them to their rooms, while she and Qing Li went to check out the sea ahead.
She could have easily flown to other countries on her own, but if she did that, she would have to run back to inform the various bases.
People tend to believe only what they see, and she also wanted others to see how other countries, besides the Flower Kingdom, accommodate survivors.
Some countries may have perished long ago when the outbreak occurred, and now all you see when you go there are zombies or corpses everywhere.
Close to the sea level, the two of them flew forward slowly as if on flat ground.
Qingli asked, "Why were those two left behind?"
Ye Shang chuckled lightly: "The Hidden World is also a force of the Flower Kingdom. We can't be cowards when the time comes."
Upon hearing this, Qingli instantly understood her thoughts. The abilities those two occasionally displayed were beyond the reach of ordinary people, and before the apocalypse, they were probably a force that everyone feared.
Nowadays, many ordinary people also possess a number of superpowers, which has led to the fact that reclusive clans dare not come out at all, even if they have the ability to fight zombies.
Ye Shang didn't want to waste this combat power, which was comparable to that of a superhuman. It would be a pity not to use it.
After thinking for a moment, Qingli said, "They probably wouldn't easily come out into the world if there were no benefits to them."
Ye Shang smiled faintly, "As long as the core stone of the zombie can still be cultivated and converted into energy, then there is nothing to fear."
Qingli was stunned: "How do I convert it?"
Ye Shang looked at him and said, "All my skills come from cultivating a single technique. What do you think about me releasing it so that people all over the country can cultivate it?"
Qingli stopped the flying object at her feet and murmured, "Why?"
Seeing him stop, Ye Shang also stopped and faced him, saying, "I think the world needs to evolve once again!"
In this evolution, she was the one who facilitated it, and even this world will not be able to erase her achievements.
With gentle eyes and a voice as soft as a spring breeze, Qingli said, "I second all your decisions."
He will never be a stumbling block for her; he will only be a helper behind her.
Ye Shang smiled, her eyes gentle, and leaned forward to place a kiss on his eye, then left as lightly as a dragonfly skimming the water.
"Then, how about you be the first cultivator?"
As she slowly approached, his left hand tightly gripped the little diamond fox, his eyes closed nervously. Upon sensing her gentle touch, he quickly withdrew, leaving only a sense of emptiness in his heart.
"Okay, whatever you say." His voice became a little hoarse, and his open eyes were filled with a faint halo of light.
They are now about a kilometer away from the ship.
Just as Ye Shang was about to say something, a figure flashed over, gliding through the light.
She hurriedly pulled Qingli away, summoned Qingying, and warily watched the illusory figure that was about to appear in front of her.
In just a second, the phantom materialized into a blond man dressed in rough and tattered clothes, with sculpted features and fairly fair skin—a typical foreigner.
However, based on the route, we shouldn't encounter any people from that side nearby, since they are currently still in the vicinity of Asia.
"Asian?" the blond man said in a foreign language.
As expected of people from the bird country, although Ye Shang and the other person could understand him, they didn't really want to pay attention to him.
The blond man was enraged when the two ignored him. He roared and a huge amount of wind energy came out of his mouth.
Ye Shang held Qingying and with a gentle wave, he directly cut off the wind energy that Qingying was exhaling.
Unwilling to accept that his attack had been ineffective, the blond man transformed his hands into two large cleavers and instantly teleported in front of Ye Shang.
Ye Shang swung his sword to defend, not knowing what the man's sword was made of, but with a single, domineering slash of sword energy, he severed both of the blond man's arms.
The blond man stared at Ye Shang in astonishment. This is what an Asian is like? Are they already this strong? Since he came to this surrounding country, he has never encountered a human stronger than himself.
He possesses four superpowers, which allow him to roam the seas at will and slaughter advanced monsters, because he has discovered that the things in those monsters' brains can make his superpowers even stronger!
