While Lin Ruo was still thinking, Jiang Yue sent her another message.
"Sister Ruo, we have already investigated. All the high-ranking officials on this list have gone into hiding because of today's events, and we haven't found them yet."
Upon hearing Jiang Yue's words, Lin Ruo felt enlightened. The question that had been lingering in her mind was finally answered. So that's how it is. Because all the high-ranking officials had gone into hiding and couldn't be found for a while, they passed this message to her.
There must be a reason why they knew she had already received the information. She chuckled. Sure enough, even after announcing that they were partners, the timing and content of the message sent to her were still driven by considerations of self-interest.
That's good too; if things fall out later, she won't have any mental burden.
Then she remembered the news that the base's high-ranking officials had all gone into hiding. She figured they were probably frightened by her actions today and had chosen to flee.
A mocking smile appeared on her lips. They ran away? If they're so capable, let them run away for a lifetime. How long can people who are used to a comfortable life stay outside?
It's alright, she has plenty of patience and time. She will always remember this "kindness" and make them repay it eventually.
Cat and mouse games are fun too, aren't they?
Lin Ruo picked up the empty cup on the windowsill, cleaned it with her water-based superpower, put it back in her spatial storage, and then turned and walked towards the training room. Her superpower hadn't recovered yet, which was much more important than catching mice.
...
Time passed day by day in Lin Ruo's fulfilling life. In the blink of an eye, the blizzard had lasted for a year, and the blizzard showed no sign of stopping. The snow depth in many uninhabited areas had reached a terrifying level.
Even though the snow on Linruo Mountain was cleared very frequently, three avalanches still occurred in the past six months. Although they did not cause any damage to the mountain, they still frightened the mutated animals on the mountain.
In the past six months, there haven't been many changes on her mountain, except that Afu and Ashou leveled up to level 6 two months ago, and Aliu and Laobai leveled up to level 7 four months ago.
When A Liu successfully upgraded, its fruit ripened once, and a few days ago it ripened again. Lin Ruo endured the increasingly intense pain and ate the two red fruits. Her mental strength increased rapidly, and the range that her mental strength could cover has increased to 20 kilometers. However, she felt that her current mental strength was still far from the level required for an upgrade.
Since upgrading to level eight, she has had a feeling every time her mental strength increases. It seems that her superpower is different when it reaches level nine. Upgrading from level eight to level nine is a qualitative leap, unlike before when it was just a quantitative increase.
At times like these, she would feel an overwhelming sense of anticipation: what exactly would level 9 be like?
Can she finally enter the space she's been unable to access?
However, these were all unknown to Lin Ruo, but they were also full of temptation.
Therefore, Lin Ruo disregarded the unfinished business and trained day and night, putting in twice the effort as before. No matter how difficult the level-up was, as long as she had enough perseverance, she would eventually succeed.
She was constantly exercising her physical fitness under 8 times the gravity. Sweat quickly flowed down her neck and into her clothes, and beads of sweat on her chin kept hitting the ground, forming a small water stain in front of her.
Eight times is now her limit; she can only endure such gravity for an hour before her energy is completely drained.
After she withdrew her spatial domain, she leaned forward, rolled over, and lay on the floor of the training room. At this point, she couldn't even lift a finger. Her water-based powers were constantly circulating through her body, and she was breathing heavily, as if her chest were working like a bellows.
A few seconds later, she felt some strength return to her body and began to use her water-based abilities to heal. Soon, the heaviness in her body disappeared.
She stood up from the ground, and the spatial domain expanded again. The eight times gravity from before pressed down on her once more. Lin Ruo's legs buckled under the sudden increase in pressure, but the next second she gritted her teeth and stood up, continuing her training.
When she came out of the training room, it was exactly 11 a.m. She had been in the training room for a full six hours. The house was unusually quiet at this time, with only the sound of the dry wood burning in the fireplace and the ticking of the clock.
Lin Ruo's clothes were completely soaked with sweat, and every step she took left water stains on the ground.
She had finished her morning training, and the afternoon training would begin at 2 p.m. Now, her training intensity had increased. In order to improve the speed of her mental strength growth, she would overdraw her mental strength twice a day. In order to allow her body to adapt, she also left herself time to rest. In the afternoon, she would only consume her supernatural abilities and no longer train her physical fitness.
She turned on the automatic robot vacuum in the living room, and was about to turn around to go to the bathroom to take a shower when she heard a sound coming from the radio by the window.
"Attention all survivors, the C City base has successfully developed the corresponding medicine. Our B City base will officially open the exchange channel for mutated peach tree seeds. Bases that are interested are requested to come to the B City base to exchange as soon as possible."
Lin Ruo stopped in her tracks. Half a year ago, she had contributed the mutated fruit, and they had finally developed a drug to counteract it. It seemed that they could soon start large-scale cultivation. With the help of this fruit, humans would probably no longer have to worry about food.
I wonder how effective this medicine is, and whether it works on other mutated plants. If it works on all mutated plants, will the mutated plants on her mountain be targeted by others?
Since that incident, no one has set foot on her mountain for a long time. She hopes that those outside will behave themselves and not provoke her again.
