Chapter 225: Merged Prompts, Super Reward!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Since ancient times, no matter what natural and man-made disasters human beings suffered from, the Earth had never united in the face of disasters.
It was only in the fantasies of countless novelists on Earth that one could see human beings strive toward the same goals and intentions before a disaster.
Of course… These fantasies were either on paper or only appeared in movies.
Humans are individualistic creatures. When faced with disasters, their survival instinct drives them to prioritize themselves above others. Simply speaking, in order to survive, one did not need to be fastest, just faster than those around them!
They would do everything within their power to “exploit” and “plunder” other refugees’ property to strengthen themselves.
Using some despicable means to control the market prices, these allied coalitions made the lives of refugees in the wasteland even tougher.
This kind of behavior, in Su Mo’s opinion, had to be punished harshly.
“These short-sighted people are judging this world and its disasters by Earth’s standards.”
“In their opinion, these ordinary people are just leeks to be harvested!”
“But this time… if most people don’t accumulate enough food to survive for at least half a year, there won’t be any survivors remaining after the flood.”
“By that time, there will be no human population to speak of. Whether it is searching for precious items, or gathering enough basic materials to build scientific and technological buildings, all this would simply become impossible!”
Earth Tiger’s speed was very slow on the icy terrain. Oreo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, also felt Su Mo’s murderous aura and barked unsettlingly.
Su Mo reached out his hand and ruffled the soft fur on Oreo’s head. His killing intent calmed down slightly.
Before this, an individual’s strength was insufficient to deal with these allied coalitions. Even if they encountered such a thing, they could do nothing but watch.
Now…
Things were completely different!
Su Mo already had the means to control such beasts.
By the time the car drove to the edge of the field, Su Mo’s mind had constructed his next plan of action.
The plan was not complex. He only needed to do a good job farming, which was the most critical and core step. If he was successful, the remaining steps would proceed smoothly without a hitch.
Seeing that it was still early, and Moore had only plowed half of the area. Su Mo simply sat in the car and closed his eyes to rest for a while.
Once the sun was hidden behind the cover of the dark clouds in the sky, he got out of the car again and carried the seed bag to begin his work.
Planting seeds that would germinate into excellent-quality crops required his full and undivided attention. After the ability of the Mind Ring was turned on, the planting process became extremely smooth.
They worked until the sky turned completely dark. It was only when Su Mo started feeling dizzy that he stopped.
At this time, the two mu of wheat had been planted under extremely ideal conditions.
In addition, Moore had plowed the entire area. He only needed to plant the other three mu of the land tomorrow, and he could use the time currency to ripen the crops immediately.
Standing on the field with anticipation, Su Mo flicked a one-day coin at the soil.
As expected, the system once again displayed the properties of the black soil land. Su Mo put on a satisfied smile on his face.
After verification, the spring wheat planted on the two mu of land were all of excellent-quality, without exception. They had an average yield of up to 1850 catties per mu.
Two mu of land could produce 3500 catties of wheat!
According to the bonus multiplier of the excellent-quality seeds, the subsequent cycle would yield sufficient seeds for Candlelight Shelter’s planting needs as long as Su Mo could produce 2000 catties of seeds in the first cycle.
Su Mo yelled to Moore, who was on duty near the wheat field in the distance. Seeing Moore, who looked as if he had just woken up from a dream, Su Mo laughed at the hilarious scene.
Bear Warriors were tough!
They could even sleep while standing!
Earth Tiger was unable to carry all three of them inside, so Su Mo instructed Moore to lie down on the roof of the car. Driving Earth Tiger, Su Mo slowly traveled back to the shelter.
Planting two mu of excellent-quality wheat was a terribly exhausting task but, overall, it was still within his physical and mental limits.
Due to the stacked bonus of buff and his title, as long as his level of concentration and energy reached 50%, the seeds would be promoted to excellent quality.
This was the most labor-saving and efficient method.
Arriving at the shelter, Su Mo took off his sweat-drenched combat uniform and clothes. Shirtless, Su Mo took out the remaining carps and cooked some hearty Sichuan dishes.
Boiled carp!
The red peppers were floated within the soup, and the spicy taste stimulated every creature standing that stood in front of the pot.
Once the carp was in the pot, and the hot vegetable oil was poured over the minced garlic and cabbage leaves, the taste and fragrance of the dish reached its peak.
These magical crops and vegetables brought Su Mo’s cooking to unimaginable heights.
The bear warrior beside him was already fascinated by the fragrance. When Su Mo poured the fish into the small bowl, Moore ignored the heat and crouched down beside the bowl, and gobbled up his food.
Su Mo used a dozen catties of fish to make two large pots of this dish. He also cooked a large pot of rice as well.
However, this was all cleanly consumed by their huge Underground Shelter family.
Even the remaining rice grains in the pot were picked up one by one by Moore with its bear paw and swallowed into his mouth.
“The food made by master… is better than that of the best cook in the Lightning Bear clan. It’s so delicious!”
Su Mo and four little ones, including Big Spark and Little Spark, laid contentedly on the ground after the meal, all of them staring up at the ceiling in a daze.
Hearing what Moore said, Su Mo raised his eyebrows with interest.
“Oh? Moore, do you remember your Lightning Bear clan?”
Moore was stunned when he heard Su Mo’s question. He patted his head suddenly and said in surprise, “Oh yeah, I haven’t been to the Lightning Bear clan before, why are there some memories that don’t belong to me appearing in my head?”
“Oh no, is Moore going to be taken away!”
A bear as tall as a person and a half was lying on the ground, its face terrified and pale. However, Oreo was gloating beside him, taking pleasure in Moore’s misfortune. Su Mo helplessly touched his forehead.
With Oreo around, Moore was completely turned into the second fool of the family.
“Don’t worry, maybe it’s the inheritance of your Lightning Bear clan?”
According to the western fantasy stories on the Earth, Su Mo hazarded a guess.
Aside from humans, who passed on their inheritance through handwritten records, pictures, or videos that were preserved and spread by human scholars, these foreign clans engraved their memories in the minds of their younger generation clan members as a method of inheritance, including the Abyssal Dragon clan.
The memories of awakened differed according to the talents of each clan member.
However, when Moore started to cry and recall the various Lightning Bear clan delicacies in his mind, Su Mo had no choice but to stand up and leave this difficult task to Oreo to resolve.
Oreo naturally knew that she had done something bad. Seeing Su Mo’s glare, she hurriedly fled with her tail tucked between her legs.
“It’s much more convenient to get along with pets compared to humans.”
“Whether it is Moore’s combat power and productivity, or Oreo’s detection ability, or even the fertilizer produced by Big Spark and Little Spark, they are all rare finds in the Doomsday World.”
It was still early but, as he had exhausted his concentration and energy while planting, Su Mo felt sleepy even while he was sitting at the workbench.
He drank two mouthfuls of psychic energy water to wake himself up.
He took out the different kinds of seeds he had bought during the day and began to carefully sort them.
Planting bad seeds would not only affect the survival rate of that single plant, but would also affect the growth and vitality of the nearby plants to a certain extent.
The process of seed selection had to be done very carefully.
After a lot of picking and choosing under the bright light overhead, Su Mo found that he had worked till 11 pm. On the right side, the seeds for planting tomorrow had finally been chosen.
After quickly washing up, Su Mo soothed the four little ones and walked over to the small bed. He soon fell asleep.
Utterly exhausted, his sleep was a dreamless one.
Su Mo slept extremely comfortably despite the world around him heating up over the arrival of the welfare disaster.
The shelter was abnormally quiet, providing Su Mo with a very comfortable sleeping environment.
Opening his eyes, the fatigue from the day before had completely dissipated and his mind felt clearer.
“After using the Mind Ring to increase my concentration, it feels like my brain is more active compared to yesterday. It’s almost as if…”
“I am exercising my brain?”
When the magical ring was paired with the human body, mysterious things became possible. After just one day of use, Su Mo could already perceive some progress.
After getting up and having breakfast, the long-lost system notification prompt finally sounded in his ears.
When he arrived back at the main world yesterday, it was past eight o’clock. For some unknown reasons, no notification prompt about survival points was issued.
At this time, as if clamoring for his attention, a multitude of notification prompts appeared.
