Chapter 21: Weeds
Many viewers saw Mai Dongzi's movements and knew that she was filtering lake water.
Regardless of which planet with life, desert areas represent drought and little rain. In this environment, the evaporation of lake water in the desert is very large.
The lakes and rivers in the desert can only maintain their fate of not disappearing if they are replenished by groundwater.
It's fine if the river water keeps flowing, but the lake water is constantly evaporating and replenishing. Over time, the lake water will definitely contain some harmful substances to the human body.
Drinking this kind of water is not recommended for a short period of time, but it will definitely be harmful to your body over a long period of time.
If you cannot bring a filter, using charcoal to filter the impurities in the lake water is the best option. Many people still understand this common sense.
Ophiopogon japonicus slowly and steadily filtered and clarified the water, then filtered and clarified it again until the lake water became clear from its original slightly turbid state. Only then did he place the ceramic jar filled with clean water on an earthen stove built with clay bricks and burn it over a high fire.
Those who have been paying attention to Mai Dongzi in the past few days know that although this girl is only a young girl, she has always been so quick and decisive in her actions, with a calm expression and an indescribable rhythm that makes people feel comfortable watching her. This is a trait that other adventurers do not have.
Therefore, viewers who are not so keen on seeking excitement like to watch her do things calmly. And viewers who know how to appreciate this calmness are also very patient people. Therefore, there are many people in the live broadcast room, but it is quiet and there are no bullet screens.
After boiling the water, Mai Dongzi used it to wash all the ceramic utensils. Then she poured the remaining half of the boiling water into a half-meter-high ceramic jar with a small mouth and a large belly, and then plugged the mouth of the jar with a wooden cork she had specially cut out.
Then she put two of the ceramic jars filled with boiling water into her space bag and put the other one into the cave. The boiling water was enough for her to drink for more than ten days.
Next, Mai Dongzi used the filtered lake water to start cooking mutant beast meat and vegetable soup. She had hunted a lot of prey in the past few days, enough for her to prepare for more than ten days.
On the first day she ate mutant beast meat after arriving on the Blue Water Planet, Mai Dongzi felt that the energy contained in the mutant beast meat two thousand years later was greater and purer.
Especially this kind of mutant beast meat without superpowers, the energy in the beast meat is attributeless, not only can it enhance the physical constitution, but also can assist her in cultivating two superpowers.
However, the 50-level mutant beast meat has a very weak effect on her mental ability, but it has a lot of benefits for her weak physique and 50-level wood ability.
So she planned to take advantage of the opportunity on the Blue Water Planet to hunt more mutant beasts of the genus level and above, which would be good for her to eat or sell in the future.
Anyway, she was not worried about having no place to put it, because the original owner had a space buckle, and the fresh prey would not deteriorate for at least a year if it was placed in this space buckle.
Of course, she had to do it secretly because no one knew that the original owner had space.
The original owner's grandfather, the former head of the Xi family, had always been indifferent to the original owner.
I don't know why, five months ago, before the old man left, he actually deducted a thousand cubic meters of space from the original owner and didn't let the original owner tell anyone.
Mai Dongzi checked on the Star Network and found that the space devices in this world are very expensive. A one-cubic-meter space device costs 10 million credits, and a 1,000-cubic-meter space bracelet costs at least 1 billion credits.
The head of the Xi family also has such an expensive space device, but Xi Xiaoren does not have one. Her space device is only more than 200 cubic meters and is worth about 100 million.
Mai Dongzi was extremely lucky that the original owner was a very obedient child. At that time, the original owner did not know her true identity. She did not tell the Xi family's wife about this matter simply because the elder Xi's son did not allow her to tell it.
Therefore, when the old woman passed away, no one else knew that she had such a precious thing in her hand.
Mrs. Xi knew that the old man had a precious space device. After the old man left, he caused a commotion because he couldn't find it.
However, no matter how big the storm was, no one suspected the original owner. Because the old man had always been cold to her, no one thought that the old man would give such a precious space to the original owner.
Based on the original owner's memory, Mai Dongzi pondered over Mr. Xi's behavior of avoiding everyone and handing this space over to the original owner.
You should know that in this space, there are only a dozen boxes of special nutrients and a dozen earth-type energy crystal cores.
Mr. Xi is an earth-type mutant, and the original owner is a wood-type mutant.
From this information, Mai Dongzi estimated that Mr. Xi's gift was probably a spur-of-the-moment idea and not something that had been prepared in advance.
Mai Dongzi suspected that Mr. Xi knew the true identity of the original owner. After all, he was the head of the Xi family eighteen years ago, and he couldn't be completely unaware of what his son wanted to do.
Master Xi couldn't help but understand his son's character. Knowing the original owner's true identity, he knew that the original owner's future might be very bad.
Therefore, it is very likely that this old man suddenly felt a little guilty for some reason before his death, so he gave something to the original owner as compensation.
After figuring out the reason, Mai Dongzi sneered.
She thought that Master Xi just felt a little guilty before his death, because if Master Xi really wanted to do something to the original owner, he should have arranged another way for the original owner instead of letting the Xi family's mistress be a pawn and even act like a bitch.
After all, no matter how precious this space is, for a young girl who has just graduated, has no potential for cultivation, and is studying art, it would be more practical to give her 10 million credits.
I never thought that with the original owner's identity, getting such a precious space buckle might be a disaster rather than a blessing. If the child hadn't been tight-lipped and hadn't been careful to wear the space buckle around his waist, he would have been murdered by someone for his money.
Mai Dongzi felt that with Xi Laozi's knowledge, he should not have been unable to think of these things, but was just unwilling to think about them.
In short, Mr. Xi only cared about using compensation to appease his guilt before his death. At that time, all his property had been given to his children and younger generations. This was the only space he had to deduct money, so he just gave it to the original owner.
Master Xi, who only wanted to appease his dying guilt, didn't care about the original owner's future, and naturally didn't care about what the original owner would suffer from getting this space buckle.
When Mai Dongzi analyzed this information last night, she, who usually had a good temper, was so angry that she barely calmed down until the second half of the night.
Mai Dongzi believed that the reason why Mr. Xi ignored the fact that the head of the Xi family was plotting against the original owner was simply because the original owner's father was an illegitimate child who was not allowed to appear in public and was not recognized by the family, so they regarded the daughter of the original owner's illegitimate child as worthless.
I will not comment on the original owner's father Mai Dongzi. After all, the original owner has no impression of this father at all.
As for the matter of the illegitimate child, the one who is most at fault should be the playboy Mr. Xi. At least it is definitely not the original owner's fault.
It can only be said that Master Xi and the head of the Xi family are worthy of being called sirs, they also put profit first and are cold-blooded and ruthless.
