Chapter 5 The naughty kid just needs a lesson!
"How many thorny demon lizards did you encounter today? You couldn't have caught even three." Scarface asked indirectly.
They were lucky today and found at least ten thorny demon lizards. These creatures can become invisible, so it is usually difficult to find even one. But today they encountered quite a few. It must be that God is blessing them.
Thinking so in his heart, Scarface's face became more and more proud.
"We are naturally not as good as you." Yan Zhou did not respond to him.
Scarface stared at Yan Zhou's expression, trying to see a trace of retreat on his face, but Yan Zhou's expression was calm from beginning to end, and the people around him all had a natural expression, without any fear.
Could he be wrong?
Yan Zhou also caught and killed ten thorny demon lizards by himself?
Impossible, he shook the thought off.
The thorny demon lizards were very difficult to entangle. A flick of its tail could send a group of people flying. He and the others had a hard time dealing with so many of them. Although Yan Zhou was an A-level psychic, his teammates were all skinny and weak. It was impossible for him to kill more than ten by himself.
"Heh." Scarface sneered and returned to his camp.
Li Xiang was the most impatient. He was furious when he saw Scarface's arrogant look. After Scarface left, he bumped Yanzhou's arm and whispered, "Brother Yanzhou, why don't you just tell them that we have definitely killed more monsters than them."
Jiang Ning blurted out, "Tell them, and then wait for them to quit?"
"You..." Li Xiang kept talking for a long time but couldn't come up with a clear idea.
Jiang Ning looked at him deeply. Li Xiang was really simple and very... cute.
But she could understand that children always want to compete to win or lose.
"Jiang Ning is right. Scarface is a man who goes back on his word. If he knows that we have killed more monsters than them, he will not help us to kill monsters tomorrow when we go to the central area." Yan Zhou nodded in agreement. Yan
Zhengxiang looked worried and said hesitantly, "Son, we have killed enough thorny demon lizards today. Do we really have to go to the central area to take risks?"
Uncle Li and Aunt Li were also a little worried. They heard that the central area was very dangerous and people from the military district did not dare to set foot there easily. However, they had no say and could only look at Yan Zhou with eager eyes.
Yan Zhou frowned: "Dad, the price of a rare low-level alien beast like the Thorny Lizard has been reduced to 35 star coins in the market. The ones we have killed are not enough for us to share. I can't go back just like that."
Seeing Yan Zhou's firm attitude, Yan Zhengxiang had to shut up.
Several people quickly built three tents.
Jiang Ning and Aunt Li lived in the same tent, and the remaining two pairs of father and son slept in one room each.
After the tents were set up, several people sat together and took out the food they brought and ate.
During the day, they consumed a lot of physical strength in the battle with the Thorny Lizard. Although there were methods that Jiang Ning taught everyone, the intensity of consumption was unbearable for several people.
Yan Zhou noticed that only Aunt Li came out of Jiang Ning's and Aunt Li's tent, so he asked, "Where is Jiang Ning?"
"Oh, she said she drank a bottle of nutritional solution in the car, and now she's not hungry, so she went to sleep directly." Aunt Li said.
"Where did she get the nutritional solution?" Li Xiang's voice revealed a bit of weirdness.
What kind of nutritional solution can that poor guy have!
Aunt Li shrugged: "I don't know, but Jiang Ning was determined to say that she was really not hungry, so I couldn't persuade her anymore."
"If you don't want to eat with us, then don't eat with us." Li Xiang drank the nutritional solution in his hand fiercely.
In the tent.
Jiang Ning lay on the floor, his eyes dazed again, staring at the top of the tent in a daze.
How determined she was when she declined Aunt Li's invitation, how much she wanted to cry now.
Nutrient solution?
Just as Li Xiang said.
How could she have that stuff!
Jiang Ning swallowed her saliva and stroked her hungry, dry belly with her right hand.
For three days, she had only eaten the nutritional solution that Yan Zhou had passed on. She still remembered that it tasted like vegetables.
It's not a big problem.
Jiang Ning comforted herself in her heart.
Go to sleep.
You won't be hungry when you fall asleep.
In her dream.
Jiang Ning dreamed that she was surrounded by all kinds of vegetables.
Mushrooms taller than people grew all over the ground, and cabbages were fatter than the spiny lizards she saw today.
Corn, peas, peppers...
In her dream, she was enjoying a paradise full of plants.
In reality, she suddenly felt an itchy sensation on her face, and her sweet dream was disturbed.
Jiang Ning opened her eyes in a daze, and the next second, she was suddenly awake.
Under her, a small green bud was emerging.
The green fluffy leaves rubbed against her face, which made her face itchy.
Jiang Ning recognized it as a sunflower seed at a glance.
Isn't it said that there is no grass in the polluted area? How can plants grow?
Jiang Ning's mind was full of question marks.
And when they set up the tent, they didn't see this sunflower seedling.
It seemed to appear out of thin air.
Jiang Ning quickly got up, rushed outside, and looked around for Yan Zhou's figure.
Her lack of knowledge does not mean that others do not have it.
Yan Zhou was chatting with Aunt Li about Li Xiang. Seeing Jiang Ning rushing to find him, Yan Zhou asked, "What's wrong?"
"Well, a new sprout suddenly appeared where I slept." Jiang Ning pointed to the tent where she and Aunt Li were.
"New sprout?" Yan Zhou was also very surprised. "Why is there a plant growing here?"
"I'll go with you to take a look." Yan Zhou said.
"Yes." Jiang Ning nodded.
Not far away, Li Xiang saw Jiang Ning coming out and hurriedly heading towards Yan Zhou. After that, the two of them were going to leave together. He didn't know what he was thinking, so he asked his mother loudly: "Mom, what are you talking about?"
Aunt Li stopped and waited for Li Xiang for a while.
She explained: "Jiang Ning said that there is a plant growing in our tent, and we are going to take a look together."
"Plant? I'll go and take a look too." Li Xiang wanted to join in the fun.
After that, he didn't forget to call the other two: "Dad, Uncle Yan, you two come too."
So.
Jiang Ning saw a group of people surrounding her little bed.
"Are you sure this plant is newly grown?" Yan Zhou asked uncertainly.
"Yeah." Jiang Ning nodded, "I was sleeping just now, and this sunflower seedling suddenly popped up, rubbing my face and itching, so I woke up."
"Is that so." Yan Zhou touched his chin, "This is the first time I've encountered such a situation. I've never seen plants suddenly pop up in the no-man's land before."
"Did anything unusual happen when you were sleeping?" Yan Zhou asked.
"I dreamed of a group of plants taller than people, does this count?" Jiang Ning touched her nose.
She was so hungry that she fell directly into the pile of plants in her dream and ate them.
Jiang Ning would naturally not say such an embarrassing thing.
"This...can't it be a plant-related ability!" Uncle Li exclaimed.
"What!" Everyone turned their heads to look at Uncle Li.
Uncle Li smiled awkwardly: "I heard from others that the ability of plant-based psychics is to summon plants, which is similar to Jiang Ning's situation."
"You're awake!" Yan Zhou looked at Jiang Ning happily.
"Don't you say that you need an instrument to detect whether you are awake or not?" Jiang Ning looked at him in surprise.
"Some psychics have signs when they awaken. Of course, the instrument is more accurate." Yan Zhou said.
Poor ghost Jiang Ning was ecstatic. So she actually awakened the plant-based psychic!
Now she doesn't have to worry about food and drink!
The faces of several people in the tent were different. Some were happy for Jiang Ning, and some were jealous, such as Li Xiang.
"It's just a waste plant system, what's there to be happy about." Li Xiang said sourly.
Even so, Jiang Ning, the orphan, has awakened, but he hasn't!
Just! He! Hasn't!
Li Xiang was angry.
"Jiang Ning, try your ability quickly." Aunt Li called Jiang Ning.
"Yeah." Jiang Ning thought about how to summon the plant seedlings.
It seems that there is a strong desire for plants in his mind.
Jiang Ning recalled that belief and held his breath.
One second, two seconds, three seconds passed.
There was still nothing in front of him.
"?"
What's going on?
Jiang Ning closed his eyes and tried again.
Still nothing was summoned.
"Hahahaha." Li Xiang laughed.
Knowing that Jiang Ning had not awakened her special powers, he felt more balanced.
Jiang Ning made an irritable "tsk" sound.
Li Xiang said, "I thought you were really awake, but it turns out you're not even a waste plant."
Li Xiang was still chattering.
Jiang Ning endured it again and again, and the next moment, he clenched his fists, veins popped out, and punched Li Xiang in the face.
Damn, the naughty kid deserves a lesson!
"Jiang Ning, why did you hit me!" Li Xiang covered his face and screamed.
Jiang Ning: "Stop talking."
Not a single nice word was said.
After Jiang Ning taught Li Xiang a lesson, he returned to his previous lifeless look.
Everything was just a beautiful misunderstanding.
She didn't wake up.
She was still the penniless orphan.
Jiang Ning: "..."
Li Xiang: "?" You hit me, and you're feeling wronged first? !
Yan Zhou squatted beside her, wanting to say the words of comfort but couldn't.
Anyone who knew that he was awake one second and was slapped in the face the next second couldn't stand it.
There was silence in the tent.
Only the sound of Li Xiang sobbing from time to time, he was so angry that he trembled all over and cried to Aunt Li.
"Mom! Jiang Ning hit me!"
Dog Jiang Ning, really good at pretending!
Due to overwork and hunger, Jiang Ning didn't use any great strength at all, and Li Xiang's face was just a little red, and it didn't hurt at all.
But Li Xiang felt that his face was stepped on hard by Jiang Ning, and he was very unwilling.
Aunt Li looked at the red marks on Li Xiang's face, and pulled the crying Li Xiang and said, "Okay, okay, stop talking and let Jiang Ning be alone for a while."
"Let's all go out and let Jiang Ning be quiet, Lao Li."
Lao Li knew at this time that he had said the wrong thing. He shouldn't have said too much and mentioned the plant-based supernatural power.
Alas! This is a mess.
The look in Yan Zhou's eyes was gloomy. He looked at Jiang Ning carefully and went out of the tent with Yan Zhengxiang.
Suddenly, Jiang Ning was the only one left in the tent.
In fact, she had let it go after punching Li Xiang.
She was silent because she was thinking about why the sunflower seeds appeared in this way, but it didn't work when she summoned them in the same way.
What did she overlook?
Jiang Ning stared at the young sunflower on the ground in a daze.
She thought for a moment and prepared to pull it out by the roots.
But the moment her fingers touched the sunflower seedlings, a warm current flowed from her fingertips to the stems and leaves of the plants.
The sunflower seedlings were visibly twice as thick and strong.
Jiang Ning: "Hmm?"
Something is wrong!
