In the quiet room, heavy, wide curtains completely blocked the front window, blocking the light coming in from outside. However, the room was not dark, only because of the blue light emanating from the person lying on the bed.
Lin Ruo slept for three days straight. During those three days, she didn't even open her eyes. The blue light around her body never disappeared, and her water-based superpowers continued to slowly improve her body.
If it weren't for the rise and fall of her chest and the increasingly rosy complexion, Afu and the others would have thought something had happened to her.
Even though they knew she was just tired and resting, the animals in the house still took turns keeping watch in her bedroom, afraid that something might happen to her and they wouldn't have time to react.
On the third day, Lin Ruo finally opened her eyes, her gaze unusually hazy as if she had just woken up. The pale blue light emanating from her body disappeared into her body the next second.
Lin Ruo opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling above her head. After a few seconds, she finally remembered what had happened before she fell asleep. She moved her body and felt her physical condition. She found that after waking up, her body felt much lighter, like an engine that had been given a lot of lubricant. The sluggish feeling caused by overtraining was completely gone.
Sensing her movement, a large silver head stretched out in front of her. Confirming that she was awake, Afu happily stuck out its tongue and kept licking Lin Ruo's face, making whimpering sounds.
Ah Shou and Ah Lu ran over as well. Ah Shou took up the other side of Lin Ruo, while Ah Lu simply turned into a little dumpling and lay on Lin Ruo's chest.
"I just took a nap, is it really that big of a deal?" Lin Ruo dodged their spittle attack and used her hands to fend off the attacks of the two large dogs, and said with a slight laugh.
After she finished speaking, a film of water quickly swept across her face, washing away all the saliva that had been on her face.
Seeing her nonchalance, Afu jumped off the bed and picked up the terminal she had placed on the table. Lin Ruo glanced at it and immediately noticed something was wrong. It turned out that she had actually slept for three days. She was shocked. "I actually slept for so long. No wonder I felt so refreshed when I woke up."
At this moment, Ah Liu and Lao Bai's branches also reached in. Ah Liu brought Lin Ruo a cup of warm water, and Lao Bai brought her a warm towel.
The three furry creatures inside gritted their teeth inwardly. Ah Liu and Lao Bai were really cunning, and they were getting better and better at showing off. But as long as they could make Lin Ruo feel more comfortable, they wouldn't go forward to cause trouble, no matter what they had in mind. They just secretly decided that next time they would be more observant and think of these things in advance.
Lin Ruo didn't sit for long before getting up from the bed. She hadn't had a drop of water for three days, and her stomach was growling with hunger. Even if A Liu and the others were incredibly skilled, they couldn't possibly cook for her.
After a quick wash, she headed straight to the kitchen. She was starving, so she didn't do anything complicated. She just took out the things from her spatial storage, prepared them a bit, and in less than five minutes, the table was filled with all sorts of food.
Smelling the enticing aroma, Lin Ruo had a great appetite and sat down at the table to eat with relish.
Actually, she hadn't eaten anything for so long, so she should have eaten something light to give her stomach a break. But her physical condition was incredibly strong, so there was no need to worry about putting a strain on her stomach.
She ate three bowls of rice, cleared out all the dishes on the table, and drank two cans of milk to fill her stomach before finally patting her stomach and letting out a satisfied burp.
She finally had time to look up at the time on the wall. It was already noon, and it was time to prepare lunch for the dogs at home. During the few days she was asleep, although they were able to hunt for themselves, they hadn't been eating well.
Thinking about their food, Lin Ruo was also planning to go to Hengshan after the upgrade. She always felt that the next natural disaster was getting closer and closer. She wanted to collect all the mutated plants and animals at the foot of Hengshan so that they wouldn't be wasted if the natural disaster came and they didn't survive.
While she was asleep, all the housework inside the fortress was taken care of by the family members. She watched as Willow Branch skillfully started tidying up after meals, Pine Branch was responsible for washing the basins, and the three furry creatures tidied up the house everywhere. For a moment, she felt a little surreal. She had only slept for three days, but it felt like they had all grown up.
After a flurry of activity, two hours had passed before Lin Ruo finally had time to look at the two red fruits.
Lin Ruo sat in the training room again. This time, they didn't bother her anymore. They even consciously moved away from the fortress. They knew that their master was going to absorb two red fruits at once, and her superpowers might upgrade again. They didn't know how far the layer of ice would cover, so it was better to stay away to avoid getting hurt.
Old Bai had no way to run away, so the branches reached out to Lin Ruo, asking her to move the tree pit. Last time, the ice had already gotten very close to it, and if it stayed in the same spot this time, it would definitely not escape the fate of being frozen.
Lin Ruo had no choice but to dig a large pit at the edge of the mutated forest and transplant Lao Bai there.
Back in the training room, Lin Ruo took out the crystal cores she had accumulated during this period from her spatial storage. These crystal cores were of relatively high level. She also took out all of Lao Bai's fruits from her spatial storage. If her mental energy could reach a saturated state today, then these fruits would come in handy.
Once everything was ready, Lin Ruo licked her slightly dry lips and opted for a more radical approach: she would try eating both fruits together to see if the effect of one plus one equals more than two would be possible. Even if she gained just a little extra energy, she would still be happy.
She couldn't help but recall the scene of eating the red fruit a few months ago. At that time, she had already started high-intensity training, and her physical fitness was improving rapidly. So she did not experience nosebleeds or vomiting blood that time. Although the pain was still more intense than before, it was not to the point that she could not bear it. This showed that her physical condition at that time was completely able to resist the side effects produced by the fruit.
And in the past few months, her physical condition has improved again, so she should be able to withstand two shots.
She wasn't risking her safety to increase her strength, but her mental energy was significantly depleted this time. If she didn't unleash the combined energy of the two fruits, she would likely be forced to give up again, and she didn't know how long she would have to wait.
She didn't have much time left. Although she realized she was being too hasty, it would be a good thing if she could break through and upgrade in one fell swoop this time.
Having made up her mind, she took two deep breaths. She felt a slight resistance to the "double happiness" that was about to come, but she still resolutely put both fruits in her mouth.
The familiar sensation of the red fruit entering her mouth immediately washed over her, and her mental energy began to expand outwards uncontrollably. Her body stiffened; this time, the rate at which her mental energy was being consumed was more than twice that of before. This feeling of her mental energy rapidly disappearing caused her brain to become intensely dizzy. She even felt that all the scenery in front of her was starting to spin, and her brain seemed to be floating in the sky, unable to find a place to land.
