Chapter 3: Thanksgiving Transactions
Under the gray sky, the purple-brown earth was eerie and desolate.
There is no sign of life in this wilderness.
Beneath a boulder, a fist-sized white ball was standing alone.
It is Xu Zhifeng's other body, a cute ball.
Whenever he falls asleep, his mind switches.
After a brief period of adaptation, consciousness quickly regained and he gradually regained control of the body.
He checked his condition and began to talk to himself.
There wasn't even a person around him who could communicate with him, and he didn't know what he could do except for his own fragmented thoughts and active control of the substances in his body.
"Good, everything is fine, the roots have grown three millimeters further. ”
"The little brother is developing normally, and it will be about ten days before he can control it to actively absorb nutrients. ”
"The body has expanded a little more, about a millimeter in diameter compared to yesterday. ”
"The nutrients required for the foundation solution have been stored by themselves, and the energy required for the synthesis of the foundation solution is abundant. Alas, it's a pity that today's quota has to be used for iron snake tooth powder. ”
About one-third of the white balls are buried in the soil.
Where it borders the soil, countless threads spread out in all directions, reaching as far as about half a meter away.
These threads are densely spread on the ground, some thick and some thin, interwoven into a net, similar to the roots of a banyan tree.
The thick thread forks at regular intervals, with some of the bifurcated filaments piercing the ground, some of which continue to swim along the ground, and more filaments branching out.
One of the main lines is particularly strong and extends further forward.
Half a meter away from the white sphere, there is a small circular node the size of a fingernail on the main line.
There are a lot of fluffy piles on the small nodes, which grow slowly at a rate that can be seen by the naked eye.
This is what Xu Zhifeng called "little brother".
In fact, this is still himself, he just entertained himself and called to play.
The little brother does not give birth to another autonomous consciousness, which is still part of his body.
This pattern of proliferation resembles fungal spores.
In addition to its own proliferation, replication and synthesis are the core functions that Xu Zhifeng has developed for spore clones.
Now he is going to make iron snake tooth powder, which is a rare and limited supply that he can't even think about if he has no money in the outside world, and he may not be able to buy it if he has money.
For most of the past six months, of course, he will not only produce foundation building liquid like a goose.
He seized the opportunity to collect a variety of medicinal herbs to deal with various potion recipes.
Among them is the iron snake tooth powder that has been sought for but cannot be found.
It's really hard to find a place to step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.
In addition to being used as a food additive to make ordinary foods have the miraculous effect of improving mystical power, the real value of iron snake tooth powder does not lie in this.
Combined with four other more conventional medicinal materials, and then using exquisite technical means, a highly valuable medicine can be synthesized.
Xu Zhifeng had already collected the other four medicinal herbs, and everything was ready, only the east wind was owed.
Now Ding Song has sent Dongfeng to him.
Xu Zhifeng imagined that he took a deep breath and shouted sullenly, "Work!"
The void inside the white ball vibrated slightly, and a brilliant void was born out of nothing.
On the other side, a small black hole-like gap appeared in the palm of Xu Zhifeng's left hand, who was sleeping.
Buzz.
The gap disappears.
A corner of the muddy crab roe steamed egg in his palm was missing.
Yellow-orange-orange steamed eggs appear in the void.
Xu Zhifeng's consciousness descended, and the steamed eggs with crab roe quickly disintegrated into powder.
This is a complete fragmentation at the microscopic level, where the mixed oil, salt, protein, crab roe, iron snake tooth powder, and other substances are separated from the molecular level.
After about ten seconds, a total of 10 grams of steamed eggs with crab roe were scattered and mixed, and they were divided into two parts.
Part of the residue drifts upwards, while the other part stays put.
After a long time, the residue broke through a barrier.
"Phew!"
The golden steamed egg was "spit out" from the top of the ball, hitting the ground and splashing small puffs of smoke.
Xu Zhifeng's consciousness returned to the void, "staring" at the slightly glowing powder of powder.
He muttered under his breath.
"Start parsing. ”
Countless tiny silk-like tentacles were born from the dark space and spread upward, enveloping the powder firmly.
The threads are then subdivided into more tiny threads that pierce into the smallest powder particles.
Smaller threads are then divided into ......
Endless too.
After a long time, Xu Zhifeng felt that there were more indescribable cognitions in his heart.
Iron snake teeth, taken from a small number of low-level alien beast iron snakes that can be raised, have special properties and can be widely used in many aspects.
Although the Iron Snake Tooth Powder is expensive, it is only because it is difficult to cultivate the Iron Snake Beast, its essential structure is not very profound, and the energy level is not high.
The essential composition of this material was successfully deciphered by Xu Zhifeng.
"Start copying. ”
Xu Zhifeng muttered to himself again.
At the other end of the void, countless filaments spread out, which continued to subdivide to infinity, and formed a cage.
The light flickered endlessly, and it was stored there, and the substance that was intended to be used to make the foundation solution was rapidly changed.
Changes occur in the ratio of molecules, atoms, nuclei, protons, ...... Even quarks on smaller levels.
About ten minutes passed, and Xu Zhifeng's voice was a little tired and unwilling, but also a little proud.
"It's pitted, the products of different beasts are different, and I barely managed to get two and a half grams. It's no problem to get dozens of grams of ordinary medicinal herbs at a time. Phew, forget it, it's enough. ”
Consciousness was around the floating mass of powder, and he was triumphant.
At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew on the plain outside, and a stone was rolled up, flying far away and smashing on the boulder above the spores.
The boulder shook violently, crumbling under the strong wind, and there were signs that it was ready to roll in a circle.
If you put pressure on this stone, the spores will surely become cakes, and die more gorgeously than mosquitoes swatted by flies.
He screamed.
"Don't! Big brother resist! Big brother don't mess around! Resist! Brother Stone rises!"
The spore clone has helped him a lot for more than half a year, and it is his last hope for the revival of salted fish.
If the spore clone continues to grow stronger, there is even a chance to skip the synthesis process and directly create a precious potion out of thin air.
Its value is incalculable.
He also didn't know what would happen when his only mature body was squashed, and he couldn't afford to take the risk.
It is said that if a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, his birthplace is poisonous.
If he could have run, he would have slipped away a long time ago.
After a long time, the boulder finally stabilized and stopped shaking.
"It's dangerous. No, Brother Shi is unreliable. I'm going to have to speed up the multiplication and get out of the mine as soon as possible. Otherwise, you may have to be served in a pot at any time. Come on, rush, fertilizer!"
His roar was useless, and he only increased the speed of absorbing the nutrients of the steamed eggs outside, but the little brother still grew slowly on his own path.
"Forget it, let's go back. ”
The Ambilight channel reappeared, swishing the powder in.
In the room, a small pinch of silver-white powder appeared out of thin air in the glass bottle on the bedside table.
Jingle Bell Bell ......
The alarm goes off.
There was a bang.
The basin overturned, and cold water splashed on his face.
He woke up.
There was no time to clean up the wet bedding and clothes, Xu Zhifeng jumped up with a carp, grabbed the glass bottle on the bedside table and rushed out the door.
Ten minutes later, Xu Zhifeng appeared at the door of Ding Song's private room on time and knocked on the door.
The middle-aged man opened the door with a strange expression, "What?
His tone was sarcastic, and his eyes were meaningful.
Ding Song, who was sitting on the seat, did not get up, crossed Erlang's legs, looked away at the door, and had a sneer on his face that he was about to get what he wanted.
Xu Zhifeng smiled politely at Ding Song with an indifferent probe, took out a glass bottle and shook it, "Two grams of iron snake tooth powder, it's all here." ”
The atmosphere in the room suddenly cooled.
Ding Song's smile froze on his face, and he slowly got up, "What do you mean?"
Xu Zhifeng shook the bottle again, "It's not interesting, didn't you say it before? I'll check the goods for Ding Shao first, and then take it to the kitchen when I turn around." Ding Shao, if you can't trust me, send someone to the kitchen with me to watch?"
Ding Song took the bottle uncertainly, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then said quietly: "It's really iron snake tooth powder." ”
"If it's fake, don't dare to joke with Ding Shao. ”
Ding Song took a deep breath, pinched the bottle, and walked out without looking back, "Forget it, don't eat it." ”
Seeing the young master of the Ding family and his party quickly walk away, the smile on Xu Zhifeng's face slowly disappeared.
His instincts told him that things weren't that simple today, but he didn't grasp the evidence.
Xu Zhifeng called Tang Tiantian to the office, scolded him with his head and face, and then raised his big slap and slapped his ass hard.
It's a punishment.
As for the compensation fee of 100,000 yuan for steamed eggs with crab roe, there is no way, there are rules in the store, so she will slowly think about paying it back.
He has done enough as a leader, and he has given away rare things worth millions.
Tang Tiantian, who was reddened, looked forward to it in the office, her cheeks were dizzy, and she seemed to be planning to make a thanksgiving deal.
Xu Zhifeng saw through her thoughts, and a brain melon popped up on her head, "I'm not in the mood, get out and work!"
drove people away, and he immediately turned on the computer and logged in to the CNKI account.
Thinking of the half gram of iron snake tooth powder left on the spore clone's side, he couldn't help but turn the corners of his mouth upward.
Finally, I have all the materials and can synthesize a new potion.
It can be refined after twenty-four hours, and I just have to go to the planting area tomorrow to be on duty, so let's take a lazy nap before getting off work.
He frantically typed on the keyboard, typing text.
Search for "one-time E-grade liquid refining method".
Disposable Grade E Liquid:
[It can allow ordinary people to have Xuanjia in a short period of time, and can exert the combat effectiveness of E-level low-level Xuanshi. 】
[The attributes of the armor are determined by the user's own inclination.] 】
[The side effect is overdraft, and after it fails, it enters a state of serious injury, and it can no longer take foundation building solution to strengthen the body for two years.] 】
[Recommended dosage is 10 grams.] 】
[Fatal overdose.] 】
Although the side effects of this thing are serious, for civilians who have not become Xuanshi, it is a hole card to save their lives, and life is more important than anything else.
Its value reaches 100,000 grams per gram, and 10 grams is 1 million.
The savings of an average family for decades cannot buy ten grams.
He stood up and walked to the office window, watching the people go by.
There are sometimes Xuanneng cars with faint glow on the hood whizzing by, and old-fashioned diesel locomotives passing slowly, but more often than not, bicycles, horse-drawn carriages, ox carts, and rickshaws.
In the distance, whistle lights patrol the high walls surrounding the town, and the safety of the town's nearly a million people depends on this wall.
Beyond the high walls is the planting area where he works voluntarily, and it is also a dangerous place where strange beasts may appear at any time.
