NOVEL NEXT Chapter 203
“I am a little duck, quack quack yo.”
A small yellow duck joyfully runs around in the base.
This is Mengyin’s transformation, turning into a small animal, which is a novel sensation for Mengyin.
Although Mengyin excels in the nature-based system, mastering transformation doesn’t mean she can’t learn; it’s just a matter of proficiency.
She used to only be able to transform into a rabbit, but now she can also become a small yellow duck.
“Woof woof.”
Six little puppies see a little duck, something they’ve never seen before, and run over to curiously sniff around.
Mengyin is quite frightened; she is scared of dogs.
“Don’t come over here, please.”
“Why haven’t I mastered the ability to transform back yet?!”
The six little puppies chase Mengyin around the entire base.
Suddenly, a large hand saves Mengyin, holding her in its palm.
Chen Luo laughs, “Oh, you can still transform into a little duck. The song you just sang was good. Sing it again for me, and I’ll treat you to fried chicken tonight.”
Mengyin can’t refuse.
“I am a little duck, quack quack yo.”
What an infectious song.
Chen Luo says, “Let’s go, this batch of potatoes is ready. Let’s see how the potatoes you planted are doing.”
Members of the Nature-based system, including Ouyang Lu, have also arrived.
Currently, there are 529 members in the Nature-based system, making Chen Luo’s place a sanctuary for the Nature-based system.
More and more members of the Nature-based system will join. Most haven’t arrived yet due to dangerous routes, being afraid to come alone.
Except for a few latecomers, everyone has reached level four.
The early batch of planted potatoes has matured, and soon, a large batch of potatoes will be ready.
Digging up the potatoes begins.
In just half a month, Ouyang Lu has grown 960 pounds of potatoes.
Previously, Ouyang Lu could only produce around 150 pounds by herself.
Of course, it’s not only because Mengyin’s seeds are so extraordinary.
Ouyang Lu had already advanced to level five, enhancing the quality of her abilities, allowing her to mitigate pollution with less energy.
The amount of energy is almost triple that of level four.
Relying solely on Ouyang Lu, around 600 pounds of potatoes were produced.
Mengyin’s amplification increased by half!
Everyone was exceptionally delighted, not just because of the potatoes but more so because they saw hope, hope for sustainable human development.
It will take another half month for the potatoes planted by others to mature.
Unfortunately, Ouyang Lu had the help of grass spirits, allowing her to save half the time.
Chen Luo said, “Anyone who can summon grass spirits can be promoted to elite members.”
This is not a particularly difficult ability; those skilled in planting can eventually master it.
Ouyang Lu praised, ” Mengyin is truly amazing; she alone is worth at least a hundred of me.”
No matter how impressive Ouyang Lu is, she is outstanding only by herself.
Mengyin is still in Chen Luo’s palm, eagerly asking, “Can I be promoted to an elder now?”
Xiao Yu is already an elder; I am just an ordinary member.
Chen Luo said, “You are still inexperienced…”
Chen Luo intended to tease Mengyin a bit to keep her grounded, preventing her from getting too conceited.
But there have been results, and constant criticism isn’t beneficial.
After some thought, Chen Luo said, “Alright, I’ll have someone announce it later.”
Mengyin joyfully exclaimed, “Yay!”
Chen Luo added, “If you can increase production by one hundred percent, then I’ll give you the position of vice leader.”
Mengyin’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
This is no easy task, very challenging. If Mengyin can achieve it, why not reward her?
Ouyang Lu mentioned, “It’s almost New Year in a few days. Should we consider these potatoes as a benefit for everyone? Even though it’s a bit limited, each person could still have one potato.”
Chen Luo felt a bit disoriented. It’s almost New Year now. The apocalypse broke out in June, it’s been eight months, and New Year is approaching. This is a significant holiday.
Chen Luo shook his head, “Let me think about the benefits. Distribute this batch of potatoes first. Elders will manage the distribution, elite members will receive a daily portion for free, and regular members can exchange for one using five points.”
Five points equal to two and a half level-four crystals.
However, if each person exchanged one point for a portion, it wouldn’t be enough for everyone.
Once the potatoes are widely available, the prices will be lowered.
It’s important for members to understand the disparity in benefits based on their different statuses.
While they were chatting, Chen Guang ran over and said, “Big Brother, Lin Tian is here, claiming to have an important report.”
Chen Luo replied, “Take him to the hall and wait for me.”
Regular members were not allowed near the planting area, let alone Lin Tian.
Chen Luo thought to himself, Lin Tian has been fattened up; it’s time for him to be dealt with.
It’s time to visit Lin Tian’s base, see if there are any “old acquaintances.”
Regardless, Lin Tian must die.
If you had a close brother, someone you shared everything with, and if they were killed, and then you were reborn, seeing that enemy again before the deed was done, how would you react?
Would you act as if nothing had happened, maybe even become friends with them?
Moreover, Chen Luo’s character demands repaying a favor and avenging any grudge, no matter how small.
Lin Tian has played his cards well, but how many dogs can Chen Luo not track down?
Are these kinds of dogs truly loyal like a loyal dog?
Chen Luo deceives the Thunderbolt King for points; doesn’t the Thunderbolt King know? He does, and willingly so, without any reservations.
Only Chen Luo could deceive the Thunderbolt King; otherwise, as shrewd as the Thunderbolt King is, they wouldn’t be able to outwit him.
What important matter does Lin Tian have to discuss with me?
Chen Luo noticed Lin Tian’s henchman, Zhou Qiang.
Great, another old acquaintance added to the mix.
Zhou Qiang respectfully said, “Big Brother.”
Chen Luo just smiled.
As soon as Lin Tian saw Chen Luo, his eyes reddened, as if he was about to cry.
Lin Tian choked out, “Big Brother, I’ve been bullied.”
Chen Luo pretended to be angry, “I’m protecting you. Who dares to bully you?”
Lin Tian became more enthusiastic, “Yesterday, I learned that a base had an eighth or ninth-level crystal. I went there and told them I wanted to come and get it to contribute it to you, my dear big brother. It’s all out of filial piety, you see.”
“Who would have thought, they didn’t appreciate it and even said…”
Lin Tian hesitated.
“What else did they say?”
“They mentioned something about Chen Luo, some stuff I’ve never heard of.”
If Xiong Wenhui hadn’t mentioned this, Lin Tian wouldn’t dare to deceive Chen Luo like this. Chen Luo isn’t a fool, and if Lin Tian slipped up, it would end badly for him.
But Xiong Wenhui did indeed say something similar.
Yesterday, Lin Tian lost over three hundred people to Xiong Wenhui’s side, barely making it back, saving his own skin.
With such a big loss, could he endure it?
Lin Tian knew that on his own, there was no way he could obtain that crystal again.
Coming to Chen Luo not only allows him to seek revenge but also show some filial piety.
Chen Luo is well aware of Lin Tian’s strength. Who allowed him to be bullied like this?
Chen Luo is quite curious.
Lin Tian explained, “The person is named Xiong Wenhui. She can transform into a bear, very powerful. Of course, in front of you, my dear big brother, she’s nothing.”
Xiong Wenhui?
Isn’t she a subordinate of Mi Ling from a past life?
Indeed, quite bear-like, with excellent innate talent, reaching level ten but not advancing to the king level.
It’s more challenging for the Nature-based system to advance than other systems, and there aren’t as many high-level crystals.
But she lacks brains.
Xiong Wenhui also knows this and, upon meeting Mi Ling, willingly integrated herself.
Because Mi Ling has many female followers, they naturally empathize with each other.
Chen Luo pondered secretly, it’s her.
Should he take this opportunity to eliminate Lin Tian?
If Lin Tian and Xiong Wenhui are at odds, it’s unlikely that Chen Luo could bring Xiong Wenhui into the fold with Lin Tian present.
Lin Tian, whom do you think I’ll choose?
