Chapter 79 It's your own fault
3S monster materials are famous for being invaluable, and any of its materials can be sold for over a million dollars on the market.
This is a business that is sure to make money. It's just helping to design a weapon, so Lao Yu is naturally happy to do it. Besides, these people are 3S monsters, and it would be good for him to take the opportunity to make some friends.
Lao Yu took them back to an inconspicuous little shop in the lobby. The boss was a woman with a bit of a weird personality. She originally ignored them, but when she heard about 3S materials, her attitude immediately changed 180 degrees. She didn't even want the design fee, just wanted to take a look.
Next, Jiang Ning carefully talked to the female boss about her requirements for the weapon.
She wanted a weapon with stronger flexibility, which could be used for both close combat and long-range attack, and it would be best if it could switch forms freely.
The female boss nodded, indicating that she understood.
The design of the weapon takes three days. The more sophisticated the structure and the more powerful the effect, the longer it takes.
After asking almost all the questions, the female boss calculated the time and estimated that the design could be completed in ten days. She notified Jiang Ning to pick up the goods ten days later.
Ten days later, it was the adjustment time after the end of the second stage of the competition. Jiang Ning added Xingnao as a friend and left.
She also needed to go to the plant store in the city center to buy some growth regulators.
Wei Shengyu and Wen Renchao had nothing to do, so they followed her.
In the plant store.
"Are you here to buy growth regulators again?" The boss recognized Jiang Ning at a glance. They were both plant-type, and Jiang Ning's performance in the Semill Newborn Superpower Competition broke the long-standing stereotype of plant-type people.
Jiang Ning: "Well, give me forty bottles."
One bottle can be used ten times, and forty bottles is a total of four hundred sunlight.
"The store doesn't have that much in stock, only the last thirty-five bottles are left." The boss said.
Jiang Ning was silent for a moment and said, "Thirty-five bottles, then thirty-five bottles."
The boss turned back to the warehouse and took out all the thirty-five bottles of inventory and packed them up. Seeing Jiang Ning's neat settlement, her eyes moved and she said to Jiang Ning, "If you need so much every time, you can go to the Wanwusheng Biological Pharmaceutical Company. The price will be much cheaper than in my store."
The price she got from the pharmaceutical company was fifty thousand star coins per bottle.
Wanwusheng, Jiang Ning remembered this name in her heart: "Thank you for telling me, boss."
"You're welcome." The boss waved her hand.
She smiled at Jiang Ning and praised him sincerely: "I watched your competition. Your superpowers are very powerful."
She never thought that their plant department would be able to stand on the competition field one day and use plants to attack recklessly.
"I also think my ability is powerful." Jiang Ning raised his head slightly without any modesty.
The boss had a hunch that Jiang Ning's appearance might change the status of their plant system in the entire supernatural world.
She might one day appear in the contaminated area and hunt monsters with other supernaturals.
Only the boss herself knew what she really thought in her heart. She kept a humble attitude on her face and waved goodbye to Jiang Ning.
After Jiang Ning returned to the dormitory, he searched the Star Network for the "Wanwusheng Biopharmaceutical Company" that the boss mentioned.
The company is dedicated to studying the impact of plants on contaminated areas and has joined the federal construction on improving and managing contaminated areas, but this company is very low-key and almost inconspicuous in social evaluation.
Moreover, the address of Wanwusheng Company is not located on a big star, but on a numbered star in a distant galaxy.
According to the boss, she only goes there to purchase goods once every six months.
Growth regulators are expensive, and basically no one will buy them, so the boss will not purchase too much at a time.
Jiang Ning checked the air tickets from Hongxing to the numbered star T440, and there are almost no direct flights. To get there, you need to transfer three times, and it will take at least a week to arrive.
What's worse is that Wanwusheng does not provide delivery service.
She really doesn't know how this company makes money.
It takes nearly two weeks to go there and back, and she simply doesn't have time. Jiang Ning can only try to find a cheaper alternative on Changfeng Shopping Network.
But after searching for nearly two hours, the comments below either had no response or the effect was far from the growth regulator produced by Wanwusheng Company.
Jiang Ning sighed and collapsed on the bed helplessly.
It seems that she can only wait for the boss to come back with the stock.
Jiang Ning stared at the ceiling, her eyes unfocused and dazed for a while.
"Knock knock knock--"
A short and rhythmic knock on the door woke her up. Jiang Ning came to her senses, got up and walked to the door to open it.
"Simon." Jiang Ning invited her into the room, "I haven't congratulated you today for passing the competition smoothly."
"You are great!" Jiang Ning gave her a thumbs up.
Simon arrived at the finish line this morning, ranking 2,372nd.
"Thank you." Simon's face blushed at the compliment.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Jiang Ning looked at her.
"I came here to thank you. If it weren't for the windmill pollen you gave me, I wouldn't have been able to advance." Simon's tone was full of excitement, and he spoke very fast unconsciously.
"It's just..." Simon's eyes suddenly fell, and he lowered his eyes, took a deep breath and pretended to be happy: "I may let you down. In fact, I am very happy that I can enter the second stage with my strength."
Jiang Ning's heart softened immediately. Simon was such a good girl, but it was a pity that she had no confidence in herself.
If she could improve her mental strength level, maybe she would be more confident.
Jiang Ning was going to help her once. She patted Simon's shoulder to comfort him for a while, and said casually, "When you have nothing to do these two days, can you go to the backyard to help me take care of my sunflowers?"
"Are they the yellow flowers in the back?" Simon asked with his head tilted.
She knew that Jiang Ning had planted a lot of flowers in the back, but this was Jiang Ning's territory. Without her invitation, she would not go to Jiang Ning's territory to disturb her.
"Yes." Jiang Ning nodded, "You can come over and help me water them, or loosen the soil or something."
She was actually looking for a reason to let Simon have more contact with her sunflowers so that the sunflowers could nourish her mental power.
"Okay." Simon agreed obediently.
The two chatted for a while, and then Simon returned to his room.
Jiang Ning first used ten bottles of growth regulators today, and she planned to use the remaining twenty-five bottles tomorrow.
She felt the warmth in her sea of consciousness, and her body relaxed a little.
What Jiang Ning didn't know was that in a corner where she didn't pay attention, Si Yuan from the next building was looking at her.
Si Yuan has lived here for some time. Every few days, he can feel a strong mental power fluctuation. At first, he didn't know whose mental power it was, until he connected with Jiang Ning's perception that time, he knew it.
After that, every time Jiang Ning sent a sensory fluctuation, Si Yuan could feel it.
Just like a person who cannot see with his eyes, his other senses must be more sensitive than ordinary people.
He cannot use his special ability, but he is more sensitive than anyone else to the fluctuations of the surrounding mental power.
He remembered that Jiang Ning mentioned "mental power compression" to him last time, and he thought that this concentrated mental power must have been compressed.
Mental power compression sounds simple, but it is difficult to operate in practice.
After returning from the last time, he studied it carefully for a long time and consulted experts in this field. They all said that they could not do it. The difficulty of this matter is mainly because mental power is not a concrete thing at all. People even have difficulty describing its shape, let alone compressing it.
So Si Yuan really wanted to know how Jiang Ning did it.
Si Yuan sat cross-legged on the carpet in the living room, frowning in thought.
"Young Master."
Butler Afu suddenly appeared and called him.
"I have found out what you asked me to find out." Afu said respectfully to Si Yuan.
Si Yuan looked serious, and his frown still did not relax: "Okay."
...
The next morning when Jiang Ning went to the backyard, Simon was already watering the flowers for her.
Jiang Ning smiled with relief.
After she finished her own business, she rarely wanted to take a walk in the school's supernatural simulation room.
The simulation room is built by integrating most of the real scenes and has a mature mechanism for hunting and killing monsters.
In the days leading up to the competition, all the supernatural simulation rooms were fully booked, so Jiang Ning had to wait in line.
After waiting for who knows how long, it was finally her turn.
This simulation room is different from the one used in class. It can only be used by one person, and one can set the environment, pain, and training difficulty by oneself.
Different types of monsters will appear in the simulation room depending on the environment.
Jiang Ning wanted to solve the problem once and for all, so she directly chose a training room with a higher difficulty and set the pain to 80%.
At a high difficulty level, the levels of the monsters that appear are basically S and above.
If she can handle monsters above S level, then those below S level are naturally no problem.
Jiang Ning thought so.
After the mode was selected, Jiang Ning's eyes suddenly turned dizzy, and the environment she was in changed, and in front of her was a familiar desolate place.
She felt the wind whistling in her ears, and the surroundings were unusually quiet.
After a long time, a black shadow suddenly flashed in the wind and sand not far from her, and it launched a swift attack in her direction at high speed.
Jiang Ning didn't even have time to see the figure of that thing clearly, and it disappeared in the wind again.
"Buzz buzz buzz——"
Jiang Ning vaguely heard a buzzing sound.
She looked up and saw that in the distant sky, there was a black pressure full of insects.
It was an S-level mutant multi-legged locust.
"..." Jiang Ning's eyebrows were twisted into a river.
This was a deadly amount of insects. She couldn't bear to think that if they all bit her, 80% of the pain would be enough to kill her.
Locust plagues have always been a major disease for plants. When the locust army arrived, there was almost no way to completely eliminate them.
Jiang Ning could only open the perception barrier and cover herself.
The locusts did not give Jiang Ning enough time to think. All the locusts swooped down on her. The sky was suddenly like a dark cloud, giving people a terrible sense of oppression.
This was just an S-level monster in difficult mode.
Jiang Ning raised her hand and released her supernatural power. While sweeping the locusts covering her perception barrier, she was thinking about how to get rid of them.
Jiang Ning smiled bitterly. At this moment, she only had four words in her heart: You deserve it.
If she had a clear understanding of her own strength, she would not have chosen the difficult mode right away.
