Lin Ruo carried the twenty cleaned insect crystal cores out of the space and quickly restored her mental energy. More than an hour later, her mental energy was restored, and she continued to fight in the space.
In the end, Lin Ruo restored it one more time before she was able to completely dispose of the insect corpses.
Using her water-based supernatural abilities to cleanse the insect crystal cores, Lin Ruo finally obtained the exact number: 101 first-level crystal cores and 105 second-level crystal cores!
Including the crystal cores she obtained from the previous rat swarm, the number of crystal cores in her space has exceeded 700,000, although they are only level one crystal cores!
What a terrifying number!
Even with Lin Ruo's resolute character, she was stunned by this number for a long time. This is enough for her to use for a long time. Even if her superpower needs to be upgraded in the future, the energy required will be sufficient!
She spent a long time focusing her mental energy around the large pile of crystal cores in the space before she could calm herself down.
Such a good thing won't happen again. After the rat and insect tides, there won't be such a large-scale animal tide.
Moreover, the proportion of insects that produce crystal cores is significantly lower than that of mutated mice. If the proportion of mutated mice that produce crystal cores were the same, she should be a millionaire by now!
Lin Ruo withdrew her mental energy from the space and patted her cheeks with both hands. The sheer number of crystal cores still made her feel somewhat unbalanced.
She re-entered the space with her spiritual power, no longer paying attention to the crystal cores, but heading straight for the planting area. The land here had been empty for some time and should be ready for planting.
She took out crop seeds from the static space and used her mental power to plant them all in the planting area. This time, she planted mostly sweet potatoes and potatoes. The food and feed stored in the space could last for a long time, so there was no need to replenish them for the time being.
She should plant more high-yield and filling foods like sweet potatoes and potatoes, so she can use them if she needs to trade with the base in the future.
After cultivating the land, she manipulated the water molecules in the space to bring a heavy rain to both the planting and breeding areas. This rain also contained some lake water to nourish the land and increase its fertility.
The animals in the breeding area all returned to their nests to take shelter from the rain. She collected all the unfertilized eggs and brought them back to the still space. She also gave the animals some of their favorite fruits before leaving the space.
It was already noon. Ah Fu and Ah Shou had returned from outside long ago and were playing with Ah Liu on the platform. Ah Shou was jumping around Ah Liu, trying to climb onto the branches of Ah Liu to bite the willow branches that hadn't fully grown inside.
Ah Liu used a willow branch to whip Ah Shou's bottom, making a loud slapping sound. Ah Shou, hurt from the blows, ran to Ah Fu, who was lying nearby. When Ah Liu put the willow branch away, Ah Shou would run over and tease him again.
Lin Ruo stood at the door watching as A Liu used a willow branch to lift A Shou by its hind legs, hanging it upside down on the tree. Then she used the willow branch to give it a good spanking. Lin Ruo couldn't help but smile. A Shou's naughty behavior really deserved a good lesson.
After calming her excitement, Lin Ruo resumed her tedious research life. She hadn't finished making her large crossbow yet, and she hadn't finished researching the poison powder... It seemed she was quite busy.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a year has passed since the extreme cold period.
In the vast white forest, the surrounding trees had long since withered and were covered with snow, a silver-white world. Only one towering tree remained, lush and green, with countless willow branches hanging down to the ground, exuding vitality as if it were spring or summer.
Beneath this large tree stood a towering fortress, from which ran two giant dogs, one silver and one black.
"Awoo!"
Afu and Ashou dragged Lin Ruo out of the house, insisting that she go out and play with them.
Lin Ruo has been cooped up at home for days, either researching medicinal powders or the weapons of this fortress. Afu and Ashou completely don't understand her interests and think she's going to get moldy. Today, they're determined to make her go hunting with them.
Lin Ruo looked at her sleeve, which was about to be torn, and reluctantly agreed, "Okay, okay, I also need to go and get you some more mutated animal meat. Let me go change my clothes first."
When Afu and Ashou heard that she had agreed, they released Lin Ruo's precarious sleeve and obediently squatted on the platform, their big tails sweeping away a large patch of snow below.
Lin Ruo shook her head and went back to her room to change her clothes with a sigh.
Over the past four months, Afu and Ashou have grown exceptionally well, with significant improvements in speed, strength, and fur defense. She no longer worries about them getting injured when they go out, as they usually hunt on their own, though the size of the prey they bring back varies each day.
Given their appetites, they often need to supplement their food supply with the mutated animal meat stored in their space. Over time, Lin Ruo has to go hunting with them every now and then to replenish their stock of mutated animal meat.
She changed her clothes and walked out of the fortress. Ah Shou couldn't wait to run over, lay down, and wanted Lin Ruo to ride on his back.
Lin Ruo patted its head. "No need. We'll just stroll around in the woods today. It's not too far."
Ah Shou stubbornly lay on the ground, wanting Lin Ruo to ride on him.
Ah Fu slowly walked over and went straight to bite Ah Shou's back. Ah Shou quickly stood up and dodged, baring his teeth at Ah Fu.
Then a branch reached out and lashed his buttocks. Ah Shou suddenly jumped away, whimpering at Lin Ruo and telling her about his grievances.
Afu ignored it and rubbed its head against Lin Ruo's shoulder. Lin Ruo chuckled and patted its big head. A Shou's position as the bully was unshakeable.
Then Afu quickly ran away into the distance, and A Shou, not to be outdone, quickly chased after him.
Lin Ruo turned to A Liu and said, "We probably won't be back for lunch. A Liu, fill your own stomach first after you catch your prey, okay?"
Ah Liu's willow branches swayed gently, indicating that she understood.
Lin Ruo then quickly left in the direction that Afu and Ashou had run off in. She was wearing a black windbreaker on the outside, which stood out against the white snow.
Even though Afu and Ashou were already very fast, Lin Ruo quickly caught up with them. The two dogs and the man darted through the woods, searching for their first prey of the day.
"Moo!"
Lin Ruo and Afu exchanged a glance. This was definitely a big one! Looks like they're in luck today!
