Chapter 140: Hook, Line, and Sinker
Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen stayed in the valley for a night and then in the forest for two nights before returning to the Taoyuan Safe Zone.
They could have returned faster, but they decided to slow down so Nie Yi could adapt to his newly awakened plant ability.
After awakening his water and fire abilities, awakening a plant ability was unprecedented. After discussing it, they decided to keep it a secret.
Nie Yi's plant ability mainly catalyzed plants and was not very useful for combat. In addition, they had a monkey with only plant ability, so it was easy to keep it a secret for the time being and use it as an ace in the hole in the future.
However, if they wanted to keep it a secret, they had to familiarize themselves with the ability so as not to accidentally use it.
In the forest, every time Nie Yi saw something that could be eaten, he catalyzed them. By the time they returned to the Taoyuan Safe Zone, he was proficient with his plant ability, and Xiaomao's space was filled with various vegetables.
And the beautiful ability nucleus in his head had a touch of green added to it.
"Son of God! Young Master Nie! You're finally back!" Seeing Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen, the people farming outside the city greeted them.
"We're back." Qi Jingchen smiled and nodded towards them, and then his light ability radiated outwards from him.
"Son of God!" These people were even more excited, and some even fell to the ground.
Vaguely, Qi Jingchen felt white light balls of energy entering his body again. However, there were too few this time, and he didn't feel any improvement to his ability.
As more and more people saw Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen, they greeted them one after another. Qi Jingchen also smiled and used his light ability generously.
His light ability landed on these people and on the ground, purifying both the people and the land they stood on - he had only left for five days, yet there was already a slight amount of dark energy on the outskirts of the city that needed to be purified again.
If he had some free time in a few days, he would have to go to the Chenguang Base. Although he had purified the place where the Chenguang Base was located before, it had been so long that the dark energy there might have become concentrated again...
"Brother, where did you guys go?" Qi Yaoyao asked while farming outside when she saw Qi Jingchen, and walked over with a hoe.
"We went to the nearby mountains and found a lot of things. You can plant them today." Qi Jingchen thought of the plants in they'd collected into Xiaomao's space in the past few days and said.
Qi An wandered over at the sound of this and Xiaomao immediately tossed over a bunch of wild vegetables and fruit trees, followed by the dirt from her space.
"We can't put the big tree here." Looking around at the people gathered, Xiaomao said to Qi An.
"We'll plant the big tree in the city." Qi Jingchen said. That tree was a treasure and couldn't be planted just anywhere.
The Taoyuan Safe Zone was located in the middle of a city that had a large open park.
This was a free open park with a large square, large grassy areas, and a lake. Before the end of the world, many people would come here to dance or jog around at night.
And now...When Qi Jingchen and his people first arrived in this city, he had the square in the park removed and the grass on the lawn pulled up.
Such a large open area would really be a waste as a square and a lawn, so why not use it to grow vegetables?
When Qi Jingchen left five days ago, although the park had been completely cleared, nothing had been planted. However, they had now cultivated the land into patches and planted a variety of plants.
Of course, most of these plants had not yet germinated.
"Son of God!" The people around them greeted Qi Jingchen again. He noticed among them was Mu Yi with her child on her back.
"Have you been tired lately?" Qi Jingchen asked.
"Not really," Mu Yi said. "When people finish their work, they fight to help me."
"That's good." Qi Jingchen threw some light energy onto Mu Yi's child, looked at the child who was sleeping with his head tilted on Mu Yi's back, and then left.
Qi Jingchen planned to plant the jujube tree in this park, and finally chose the middle of the park, north of the lake, and had an earth ability user dig a large hole.
The earth ability user was overjoyed to receive the Son of God's command and immediately dug a huge hole. If Qi Jingchen hadn't stopped him, he would have continued digging.
Qi Jingchen looked at the large hole and had some fertilizer placed at the bottom and then purified it with his light ability before having Xiaomao bring out the jujube tree from its space.
During the past two days, Qi Jingchen had Xiaomao bring this jujube tree outside every day to breathe and gave it a lot of light energy, but even so, it looked a bit lifeless now.
"What kind of tree is this?" The earth ability user was still there, curious and looking at the water ability users responsible for clearing the small lake.
"It looks like a jujube tree." Someone said. These jujube trees were not a rare species. It was quite common for many people in the southern countryside to plant one in front or behind their houses.
"What a big jujube tree." Someone exclaimed, but after expressing their admiration, they went back to work on the lake. They planned to dig it deeper and raise fish in it.
Most of the people who planted vegetables nearby were ordinary people. At first, Qi Jingchen hoped that someone would feel that the jujube tree was special, but seeing their nonchalant reactions, he was disappointed.
Obviously, none of these people had the potential to become a plant ability user.
However, if plant ability users were so easy to find, Yao Mengzhi would not have taken the plant ability user who owned a guesthouse and even set a trap for him.
Qi Jingchen was no longer disappointed and worked with Nie Yi to plant the jujube tree by the river after cutting off many of its roots.
After planting the tree, Nie Yi watered it and Qi Jingchen gave it a bit of light energy.
It was generally known that humans, animals, and plants with abilities generally did not like other energies. For example, a fire ability user would never like a water ability user to water them. However, light energy was the exception.
Except for the dark ability users, all other ability users loved light energy. Mutated plants and animals were particularly fond of light energy. Light energy was simply a crowd-pleaser.
Qi Jingchen put his hand on the trunk of the jujube tree. His hand contrasted with the white bark of the jujube tree, making it more attractive. Nie Yi saw this scene and placed his own hand on top.
Qi Jingchen pulled his hand out and stared at Nie Yi, "Give it some energy."
Qi Jingchen's voice was low and vague, but Nie Yi knew that Qi Jingchen wanted him to give the tree some plant energy.
"Okay." Nie Yi nodded and input some plant energy into the tree.
Both his water and fire ability cores had shattered, and since then, his two abilities had become very pure because of it. His plant ability was also very pure, probably because it was directly fused with the crystal.
After this pure energy was input into the trunk of the jujube tree, the branches of the tree suddenly shook without wind, and the leaves swayed, making a rustling sound as if the tree was alive, obviously very fond of Nie Yi's plant energy.
Qi Jingchen looked at Nie Yi and suddenly felt envious.
Although his light ability was very good, unique, and unparalleled, Nie Yi's three abilities were just as good… If only he could exchange abilities with Nie Yi.
"Shall we go back and have a good sleep?" Nie Yi saw Qi Jingchen's fiery gaze and his heart raced. Qi Jingchen was not happy with the dangerous situation he had previously been in, and he had slept in separate sleeping bags for the past two days in the forest. Nie Yi thought it was necessary to "talk" to Qi Jingchen.
"No, I have something to do. I want the people in the safe zone to come here in batches tonight!" Qi Jingchen said. The food for these seventy thousand people was all based on what he had collected before. If they continued like this, they would soon exhaust their resources! Developing plant ability users had become pressing.
Seeing the situation, Nie Yi looked at Xiaomao next to him, "Take out all the sofas and things."
On the land flattened by the earth ability user near the jujube tree, they put a long sofa and two short ones, with a coffee table in the middle and plenty of fruit and snacks on the table. It looked incredibly comfortable.
Seeing this scene, many people were envious, but no one spoke up or felt that Qi Jingchen was wrong.
They were able to survive thanks to Qi Jingchen. It was only natural for Qi Jingchen to live better... after all, he was a god!
Nie Yi sat on the long sofa, looking at the various files sent by the people below and handling the affairs of the safe zone. Qi Jingchen sat next to him, practicing his ability while charging his flat, round stone.
Qi An and Xiaomao occupied a small sofa and kept eating. On the other side of the small sofa, the silly monkey was jumping happily, treating the genuine leather sofa as a trampoline.
At this moment, the sun set.
Humans were back to their lives of working from sunrise and resting at sunset. As the sun set, people except for those guarding outside the city returned to the city with their hoes.
Everyone got their food by taking their ID card to the canteen because food was scarce. They got what they got, and there was no choice. However, if they exchanged with each other, the safe zone would not intervene.
Qi Yaoyao and Shao Zhenglan worked together. The first thing they did when they returned to the safe zone after a day's work was to go to the canteen and get their food.
They each had two food containers, one for the main dish and one for the side dish. Recently, the so-called side dishes were basically salted vegetable soup without any actual vegetables.
"I wonder what we're eating today." Qi Yaoyao said before they arrived at the canteen.
"Salty vegetable soup." Shao Zhenglan said without hesitation.
Qi Yaoyao sighed. Sometimes she missed her life in the Chenguang Base, but soon she felt that her thoughts were wrong. Although she ate in the canteen, she could occasionally go to her brother's place to eat some meat. She often had the chance to eat meat, which was already pretty good. Others might not have this opportunity!
They entered the canteen and started to line up.
The canteen was divided into many parts, and the people who ate in each part were predetermined and divided into batches, so it was soon their turn.
The main dish was a large spoonful of mixed grain paste, which was not surprising, but the side dish...
"There's actually vegetable soup to drink today?" Qi Yaoyao was surprised.
"Yes, the son of god sent a lot of vegetables, so we made vegetable soup, and we added more oil!" The middle-aged woman at the window smiled.
Did you add oil? I really can't tell... As she looked at the oil floating on top of her soup, Qi Yaoyao drank it in big gulps while muttering to herself.
"People from the fifteenth planting group in the west of the city, come to me!" Qi Yaoyao heard a familiar voice shouting at the cafeteria entrance.
Qi Yaoyao was from the fifteenth planting group, so she looked towards the door and quickly finished her soup. She poured the broth into the bowl that had held her grain paste, drank the mixture, then used both bowls to fetch some water, and drank again...
She was embarrassed to lick the bowl clean, so instead she used this method to rinse off the grain paste residue with broth and water, to avoid wasting anything...
Most of the others did the same as Qi Yaoyao, and after finishing their meals, their bowls were all clean, and there was no need for washing.
Of course, they would still wash the dishes. Qi Yaoyao washed her own bowl and came to the gathering place.
Most of the people from the Chenguang base were assigned to the fifteenth planting group, and the group leader holding up a sign calling for everyone to gather was Zhang Zihai. 🚩🚩🚩
Ping Shengchao was in charge of managing the resources of the entire Taoyuan Safe Zone, and Zhang Zihai had no talent for managing, so he became a group leader.
"Zhang Zihai, what's going on?" Qi Yaoyao asked curiously.
"The son of god has ordered that everyone must take a walk in the park, and if they feel anything special, they should speak up." Zhang Zihai said.
"Is it a mutated plant?" Qi Yaoyao asked in a low voice, this phrase sounded familiar.
"Go see for yourself and you'll know." Zhang Zihai smiled, and beside him, the leaders of the other groups said the same thing.
When Zhang Zihai and the others gathered, they led the people to the park.
A soil-type ability had already paved a wide road that went across the entire park, and people were walking on the road together. But most of them were at a loss and didn't understand what they were supposed to do.
"Remember when we went to the Great Wall during the National Day? We just walked around in a circle like a bunch of sardines..." Shao Zhenglan couldn't help but say, "We just need some tour guides with loudspeakers."
"You see that tree over there? If you feel that this tree is special, speak up when you pass it! There is something good about it!" At this moment, several people holding loudspeakers shouted.
Zhang Zihai didn't know where he found a loudspeaker, but said the same thing.
Check, the missing tour guides were here.
And the attraction was the tree... who knew what made it so special.
Qi Yaoyao saw the very tall tree from afar and couldn't help but sigh. Then she thought, could that tree be the mutated plant?
It couldn't be, right? To awaken an ability, one had to eat mutated plants. Who could eat such a big tree?
While Qi Yaoyao was thinking about this, she felt a sense of intimacy towards the tree.
The feeling was mysterious and familiar, someone must have described it to her before...
Qi Yaoyao suddenly remembered that after Ping Shengchao awakened his ability by eating a mutated plant, she had pestered him to describe how it felt. Wasn't what Ping Shengchao described the same as what she was feeling now?
Qi Yaoyao had always wanted to have an ability, and after realizing this, she didn't have time to think about it another second. She hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd, and ran towards Qi Jingchen, "I feel something! I feel something!"
Qi Yaoyao had aged a year, but was only fifteen. However since life during the apocalypse was far more difficult than before, she had matured quickly. But now she was jumping up and down like a little girl.
There was someone in another group who also felt something towards the tree. They were originally calmly talking to their leader, but seeing Qi Yaoyao running out, they thought there must be something big to gain, so they left their team leader behind and rushed out, "I also feel something, I also feel something!"
Many people had passed the tree, but not felt anything special towards the jujube tree, making Qi Jingchen anxious. But when he saw his sister running out, his anxiety turned to joy.
"Yaoyao, come here." Qi Jingchen waved at Qi Yaoyao.
Qi Yaoyao ran over excitedly, "Brother, is it true? Is it true?" She dared not ask for more details, afraid that the answer would be different from what she expected and disappoint her.
"Don't be so excited," Qi Jingchen smiled and handed Qi Yaoyao a jujube, "Eat this."
Qi Yaoyao was eager to know whether she could get an ability or not, and couldn't care less about eating a jujube. But of course, food was scarce so she was enticed by the jujube and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Can you also swallow the jujube seed?" Qi Jingchen said.
Qi Yaoyao had already eaten the flesh of the jujube, and hearing this, was a little speechless, "Brother, why in the world would I... "
Qi Yaoyao had only said half of her words before she stopped, and then she boldly swallowed the jujube seed. She felt it, the jujube Qi Jingchen gave her was a mutated plant!
Back then, Gan Jun had obtained a wild grass-like mutated plant which was covered in fluff, and he had eaten it, but Qi Yaoyao had only needed to eat a jujube!
After eating the jujube, Qi Yaoyao crumpled to the ground, crying with excitement.
