Ye Shang picked him up and frowned slightly: "Have you been so busy that you haven't had time to eat?"
She weighed as if she were holding a child; her chin was so thin it was almost pointed, and her collarbone was deeply sunken. Her casual clothes looked like they were hanging loosely on her bones.
Qingli leaned on her shoulder: "Yeah, I was worried, so I didn't pay much attention."
He numbed himself with a lot of work every day. If there was really nothing to do, he would lead his men to inspect each base to see what was lacking.
Back home, occasionally seeing Ye Shang with her eyes closed, the whole world quieted down, and he couldn't help but want to hug her. Unfortunately, he couldn't disturb her cultivation.
Ye Shang carried him to the bed, pulled the blanket over him, went downstairs to heat up a cup of milk, and made a simple steamed egg.
Your digestive system might not be able to handle too much at once, so just eat a small amount.
She didn't know how to do anything too complicated. She made steamed eggs by following the steps she found on her personal computer, one by one.
However, the finished product wasn't as smooth and attractive as she expected. When she took it out, it had a honeycomb-like structure inside. She frowned as she looked at the image in her mind, which was completely different from what she had made.
Fortunately, as mentioned above, it's okay if you fail; it won't affect the edibility, just the taste will be slightly lacking. The article also reminds everyone not to waste food, so you can try making it a few more times.
Ye Shang looked at the pictures and the actual food in silence, then decided to just eat it anyway.
When she brought up the warmed milk and steamed eggs, Qingli was already feeling drowsy and sleepy.
For some time now, he hasn't had a proper night's sleep, only managing to get a short nap in the middle of the night when he can't stay awake any longer.
Ye Shang woke Qing Li up, "Eat something first before you sleep."
Qingli leaned against the headboard in a daze, took the milk and drank it in small sips, before she became somewhat more awake and looked at Ye Shang, who was sitting next to her looking at the personal terminal.
"Ah Shang, did you make this?" He looked at the steamed egg beside him.
Ye Shang followed his gaze and said, "Hmm, the taste might be so-so, but it's edible."
Qingli's mood instantly improved, and she couldn't help but smile. "Thank you."
He scooped up a little and ate it. The taste was indeed just average, but as long as it was made by his sweetheart, even if it was bad, he would think it tasted good. Besides, this was a normal taste, neither too salty nor too bland.
After Ye Shang finished eating, he picked up the plate and bowl and put them aside, saying, "You should go to sleep first."
Qingli yawned, tears welling in her eyes. Her stomach felt warm, and she lay down under the covers. "Mmm, okay."
Ye Shang took the plates away and cleaned them up before returning to his room. After washing up, he turned off the lights, lay down on the bed, and pulled Qing Li into his arms.
Qingli felt her warmth and pressed against her, holding her as they continued to sleep.
I slept without any dreams.
The next day, Qingli didn't wake up until almost noon. He reached out and touched the person beside him, but didn't find anyone. He immediately opened his eyes. Could it be that last night was just a dream?
Is Ah Shang still in seclusion?
But when he sat up and went to Ye Shang's secluded room, he didn't see anyone. So he tidied himself up, washed up, and then went downstairs in his slippers.
Upon seeing Ye Shang sitting on the sofa beside him, a smile appeared on his face, and he quickened his pace.
Seeing Qingli come down, Ye Shang said, "You should eat your food first."
Qingli saw a bowl of porridge and two dishes on the dining table next to her.
"Okay, Ah Shang, would you like to eat together?"
Ye Shang: "I've already eaten."
Qingli went over to eat. The porridge was made with vegetables and meat. Perhaps because Ye Shang was there, he finished all the food without any problems. After cleaning up in the kitchen, he returned to the living room.
He sat down next to Ye Shang and asked, "What are you looking at, A-Shang?"
Ye Shang tilted the contents of the personal terminal to show him, "There's even news now."
Qingli saw the headlines above, which mentioned things like two superhumans fighting over a woman, and how even tigers don't eat their cubs, yet one sold his daughter for a bag of rice, only to be discovered and reported to the base. Although the base eventually intervened, it couldn't stop his desire to sell her.
And so on, a series of events that have occurred in the bases during this period. There are ten bases, so many residents, and all sorts of different events happen every day.
There are superhumans who specialize in collecting this information and posting it on the entertainment section of the computer. And surprisingly, there are people who actually click to check it every day.
However, each person needs to earn one point to view the content, and as long as the number of clicks is high enough, earning points is easy.
Qingli smiled and said, "It all started when a superhuman accidentally filmed an interesting scene and posted it online. Then a lot of people viewed it and left comments. I thought, why not set up a special department and set it up in each base so that we can get timely feedback no matter what happens?"
Ye Shang turned to look at him: "So you did this?"
Qingli nodded, "Yes, at first I just wanted everyone to know things as soon as possible, but then I saw that there were quite a few clicks, so I simply set up a points system so that the base could also recoup some of the points."
Ye Shang asked, "Yes, this method is indeed quite good."
Now it is the sixth year of the apocalypse. During the time Ye Shang has been in seclusion, the base has undergone a qualitative leap in change.
The Fifth Base successively built high-speed trains that could connect to the major bases, linking the key fortresses of each base. There were even researchers in the field of intelligent machinery who launched robots.
Although the manufacturing is crude and it only has some simple words or actions, it is still an improvement.
Regarding food, all the plans that have been introduced so far have been proven effective, and the amount of food produced is roughly enough for the consumption of each base, provided that there is no waste.
Qingli sat down and introduced Ye Shang to the situation over the past two years. He said that now almost everyone is practicing the Power Control Technique and needs to strengthen their bodies. Some people with better talent can even witness tribulation. Fortunately, the power of the lightning tribulation in the world is not too great. As long as they can withstand it, they can advance to the Foundation Establishment stage.
After listening, Ye Shang recalled that during her previous cultivation, from the Qi Refining stage to the Foundation Establishment stage, she did not seem to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation. She only began to undergo the Tribulation when she crossed the Golden Core stage from the Foundation Establishment stage.
"How do they usually undergo tribulation? Without the aid of formations? Nor do they need magical robes?"
Qingli clearly saw the doubt in her eyes, "As long as lightning is not too powerful to destroy directly, it can be collected with conductive equipment. If stored properly, it can provide the base with power for a period of time."
Ye Shang was somewhat surprised. Heavenly tribulation could be handled like this? Is this high-tech tribulation crossing?
Qingli chuckled softly: "It can only be at this stage where it's not very strong yet."
