Bright lights shone through the glass into the dark night sky outside, and all around was silent except for the sound of falling snow.
Inside the laboratory on the second floor of the fortress, Lin Ruo was carefully dripping the medicine in her hand into a test tube. Immediately, the medicine in the test tube turned light blue, and the flocculent precipitate inside disappeared.
Lin Ruo's eyes lit up; she had succeeded! This was the most difficult potion to make among the previous ones, and now she could make it too!
She focused her mental energy on the potion, carefully distinguishing its ingredients and analytical sequence. After confirming that everything was correct, she was about 80% confident, but she still didn't dare to personally conduct the experiment.
She turned to look at the mutated rabbit lying in the cage, and walked towards it. This rabbit had been raised by Lin Ruo for several months and was no longer so afraid of Lin Ruo. It had also gotten used to Lin Ruo always feeding it strange things, so it did not run away, but just stared at Lin Ruo with its big red eyes.
Lin Ruo fed the mutated rabbit the medicine in her hand and carefully observed the rabbit's reaction. She scanned the rabbit's body with her mental energy again and again. After the medicine entered the rabbit's body, it quickly transformed into a stream of energy, which went towards the crystal core in the rabbit's brain. Then, the rabbit quickly absorbed the energy.
Not only did the rabbit not have any problems, it became even more lively. Lin Ruo was excited. Half an hour later, after confirming that the rabbit was completely fine, she was finally relieved. The medicine had worked!
She looked at the remaining liquid medicine in the test tube on the table, and a smile slowly spread across her face. She would be able to have complete freedom in obtaining medicine from now on.
Amidst the endless blizzard, she tirelessly researched these potions, and after more than a month, she finally mastered all of them.
Next, she was going to focus on her research on seawater. Just then, there was a knock on the laboratory window; it was A-Liu.
What happened? She walked to the window, opened it, and a cold wind immediately rushed in, making Lin Ruo, who was only wearing cotton pajamas, shiver.
"Ah Liu, what's wrong?"
A-Liu gestured to Lin Ruo with a willow branch, and Lin Ruo finally understood that it was a signal from the mutated plant in the distance that someone had climbed the mountain.
Lin Ruo nodded upon hearing this. After more than two months of blizzard, her mountain peak had attracted a lot of attention. Most of these people were there to make transactions with the B City base. When they passed by her mountain peak and saw the lush mutated plants below, how could they not be curious?
Especially now that crystal nuclei are hard to find, these mutated plants and animals are attracting even more attention and have given many people the idea to take advantage of them.
Faced with this kind of situation, Lin Ruo has no interest in solving it herself. She still hasn't found the answer to the problem with the seawater, so she has entrusted all these matters to A Liu. There are so many mutated plants on this mountain peak, and A Liu can control them at will. They are basically doomed to fail.
When A-Liu saw Lin Ruo nod, she understood what Lin Ruo meant. She rubbed against Lin Ruo and then retreated out of the laboratory window.
Lin Ruona's mind was completely occupied with the names of the drugs and their effects. She took a moment to think about how long these people who had sneaked up the mountain in the middle of the night could last against these mutated plants and animals.
She then shook her head, banishing the thought from her mind, and turned to collect all the potions on the table using her water-based abilities, storing them in containers and placing them in her spatial storage.
He then cleaned up all the used instruments and utensils, put them back in their original places, and only then left the laboratory.
The next morning, as soon as Lin Ruo opened her eyes, she felt a sense of suffocation. Ever since she couldn't resist sleeping with Afu for the night, she had been in a terrible state. These three furry creatures didn't tolerate each other at all and insisted on sleeping together.
Now, Ah Fu and Ah Shou have turned into warm, cuddly little balls of milk sleeping on either side of her body, while the seven-meter-long tiger lies at her feet. Now, one of the tiger's paws is on her body, no wonder she always feels short of breath.
She moved slightly, and Afu woke up. He opened his eyes and saw where Alu's big paw was resting. He immediately rolled over and bit Alu's big butt.
Aru let out a miserable howl that echoed throughout the fortress.
Lin Ruo sighed and silently got up to wash up, refusing to watch the ensuing battle between the three of them. It was a daily ritual, nothing interesting to watch.
She quickly washed up and headed towards the training room, wanting to avoid seeing or being bothered by it.
Just then, Ah Liu and Lao Bai's branches stretched in, each carrying several supernatural ability crystal cores. Lin Ruo looked at the color and level of the crystal cores and raised her eyebrows slightly. They were all level 3 supernatural ability users. They were really going all out. But who gave them the courage to come to her mountain to court death?
She thought she had been very assertive, but these people still believed that if they attacked at night, they would still have a chance.
Two of the nine crystal cores this time are space-type, which is pretty good. Although Lin Ruo's brain is already full of crystal core energy, she will upgrade again eventually. It would be good to accumulate more space-type and water-type crystal cores.
She probed the two space-type crystal cores with her spiritual power. Inside, there were only a few supplies and crystal cores, nothing else special. Lin Ruo put all of these things into her static space. It was all free.
Sometimes Lin Ruo would think that maybe she could have lived well even without hoarding supplies. Looking at all the people who come to her with supplies every day, she has more than she can use.
“These people have learned their lesson now,” Lin Ruo said, putting the crystal cores into his spatial storage. “They don’t keep anything on them that can prove their identity. They’re afraid I’ll come after them to collect the debt.”
Old Bai nodded his willow branch in agreement, showing deep agreement with his master's words.
Ah Liu gestured with her willow branch in the air, asking Lin Ruo if she wanted to leave one alive next time so that Lin Ruo could interrogate them and find out where they came from. Then the master could go and settle accounts with these people and earn more crystal cores.
Lin Ruo understood what A Liu meant, then shook her head. She immediately thought of the tornado she encountered when she returned from the C City base last time. That tornado wasn't too severe. If she had encountered an even stronger one, she would have had a hard time escaping.
In this blizzard, long-distance flights are quite dangerous, and she didn't want to cause herself any trouble for these people.
She tossed the two quail egg-sized crystal cores in her palm, a wicked smile playing on her lips. Let these people come and die if they want; she wouldn't lose anything anyway.
Let these people think they can break through the defenses of the mutated plants outside, so that there will be a steady stream of people coming to this mountain peak. Right now, with the blizzard, food is scarce.
The arrival of these people can also provide her with some energy-rich flesh and blood for the mutated plants and animals on this mountain, as well as various kinds of crystal cores. Why wouldn't she be happy to accept it?
She took all the remaining crystal cores from Ah Liu and the old white tree branches, cleaned them with her water-based abilities, and then stored them in her spatial storage.
He turned around and returned to the fortress, beginning his fulfilling day.
