【Good stuff! Absolutely good stuff!】
Ba Ji stared at the box without blinking.
He had a feeling that as long as he ate what was inside the box, his strength would surely skyrocket. At that time, even if faced with human metal boxes, he could swallow and instantly refine them!
This big shot had fed him ‘dung’ for so many days, finally willing to give him something delicious?
Chen Huaian used scissors to open the box.
As he expected, there was a plant inside the box, and another box contained soil with colorful layers, which he planted in the pot and placed on the windowsill, staring at it for a while. In the end, he still couldn’t give up and used Thousand Degrees to scan it.
The result came out quickly:
【Grass — a type of plant.】
No, man.
Is it really just an ordinary grass?
Chen Huaian was speechless.
This game developer was too insincere. Now you can buy a potted orchid for how much? Sending a dirty pot of grass like this is too perfunctory?!
And the soil block was also like this.
It was colored in various hues, looking like industrial pollution, and wasn’t pretty at all.
As he looked closer, he found something else in the box. It was a talisman, sealed in a bag, with instructions included.
【Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Talisman: Please stick this talisman on the flower pot to protect the Nine Transformations Spirit Orchid, avoiding the young sprout from being eaten by greedy demonic beasts.】
Chen Huaian: “…”
Even greedy demonic beasts have appeared.
There were only mosquitoes and a dumb cat in his room.
Forget it, treat it as a decoration.
Although it was just a grass planted inside, this flower pot carved with the heavenly palace and auspicious clouds was quite beautiful.
He took out the talisman and stuck it on the flower pot.
With the talisman on the pot and the drooping grass, it looked very bizarre from afar. It didn’t seem like something a normal person would do.
In the game, Li Qingran was circling around the bed with clothes in her arms. Seeing no other tasks, Chen Huaian logged out.
After all the hustle, he hadn’t eaten breakfast yet.
After having breakfast, he planned to go to the square to practice swordsmanship. He wondered if the old man would be there today.
…
While Chen Huaian was preparing breakfast.
Ba Ji sneaked up to the Nine Transformations Spirit Orchid.
The closer he got, the more intense the spiritual energy became.
【How could such a spiritual grass appear in this era of scarce spiritual energy? Where did this big shot get it…】
He stared at the Nine Transformations Grass, unable to figure it out.
But it didn’t matter, it didn’t affect consumption.
He moved a bit closer, greedily swallowing his saliva.
Suddenly, crackle—!
With the sound of electric arcs, a terrifying pressure hung over his head, scaring him to roll and crawl back to the sofa in panic.
Ba Ji noticed the yellow paper stuck on the side of the flower pot.
It was a talisman.
And a more terrifying one than those on the doors and windows.
As long as he dared to touch that flower pot even slightly, he would die immediately!
As he retreated to a safe distance, the thunder already overflowing from the talisman receded.
【Hmph… I’m still too naive.】
Ba Ji looked at the spiritual grass protected by the thunder talisman, raising his head at a 45-degree angle towards the sky.
【Why would such a good thing be given to me by this big shot?】
He shook his head self-mockingly and continued eating the unfinished roasted duck.
Regardless, as long as this spiritual grass was here, he could soon create a suitable area for cultivation.
At that time, everything in the room would be permeated by spiritual energy.
Ordinary rice would turn into spiritual rice, roasted duck would become spiritual black duck, and even fish kept for a long time could become spirits! In this way, although he was still eating ‘dung’, it had upgraded to chocolate-flavored ‘dung’.
Ba Ji comforted himself, finding it increasingly delicious.
…
【Wild wolves spotted at Heavenly Gate Mountain! To protect the safety of tourists, relevant departments have intervened.】
While browsing Douyin, a news video caught Chen Huaian’s attention.
【Regarding such large-sized wild wolves, let’s see what our expert has to say?】
〈Hello everyone, I am Professor Wang, an honorary academician of the Department of Canine Science at Agricultural University of Province C. The wild wolves spotted at Heavenly Gate Mountain are huge. Many friends even speculated if they are demons? Hahaha, please don’t believe in such non-existent things. These wild wolves are actually mutated organisms due to drinking polluted seawater. They look big, but their coordination is poor, and their aggressiveness is much lower than normal wild wolves…〉
Chen Huaian’s lips twitched seeing the white-haired old man in the video telling lies with his eyes wide open.
What the hell low aggression.
Low aggression directly turned a minivan into a toy and tore it apart?
However, in recent ten years, many mutated organisms have indeed appeared. This was mainly due to a shocking event that occurred ten years ago. At that time, many people didn’t care, until the harm caused by seawater pollution gradually became apparent.
Mutated organisms were one of them.
Previously, it was said that chickens used in the catering industry were multi-legged and multi-winged meat chickens, which might have been a joke. But now, three-headed or even five-headed chickens have indeed appeared.
Once, multi-headed chickens only existed in laboratories, but now, occasionally, a few would emerge from breeding farms.
These mutated multi-headed chickens not only wouldn’t die young but would live longer, and each head had its own thoughts, often leading to mutual attacks.
As the saying goes, rarity makes things precious.
Despite not yet determining the safety of multi-headed chickens, some places have already treated eating them as a trend, and some breeding farms have even started actively cultivating them.
Chen Huaian, like most ordinary people, believed that mutated organisms would certainly pose a threat to humans.
But for now, mutated organisms were still within control and could be killed by bullets. When they continued to mutate to the point where they couldn’t be killed by artillery, they would probably be completely uncontrollable.
Chen Huaian thought he wouldn’t see that day.
After all, he wouldn’t live past this year.
When he died, who cared about floods?
【Fortunately, the girl arrived quickly, pulled out her pistol, and shot the wolf dead with one shot! I also want to complain about the Three-Light Minivan. The quality is really terrible. Just gently closing the door, the door fell off by itself…】
【What? You said it was a relatively young female guard? No wonder she had a gun. I thought she was a high school student, ahaha, ahahaha…】
“Hey, isn’t that Zhang Dao?”
The scene changed, and Chen Huaian saw the middle-aged man being interviewed. He couldn’t help but grin foolishly.
【Another wolf was struck by lightning. Thank God, otherwise, the other three people in the crew would likely have met a bad end.】
Several pictures of lightning-struck pits popped up, with the mutated wolves already charred by lightning.
And the Chen Huaian who was shoveling food into his mouth suddenly froze.
Looking at the lightning pit, he finally realized something was off.
The sound of thunder he heard, the familiar lightning pit, and the missing thunderfire talisman…
He rummaged through his combat jacket, pulling out several crumpled thunderfire talismans, staring blankly at the vermilion characters on them.
He carefully placed the seven talismans on the coffee table.
Then he carefully prodded them twice.
After a while, he muttered in disbelief: “Could these really be real talismans?”
