The lantern plant is hung with five red and attractive lantern fruits, fresh and plump. Lu Ning looked at these fruits and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

He carefully plucked the fruit and held it in the palm of his hand, as if he were holding some treasure.

This is the result of his hard work! Although he has not done any tending work, it is all due to the tenacity of the plant's own vitality......

But in any case, this is also an unprecedented result!

If it was in some farming game in his previous life, a black window should pop up in the lower right corner of the moment he picks the fruit, with words like "Achievement unlocked" written on it......

Lu Ning's eyes involuntarily glanced down to his right. Unfortunately, nothing.

"It's really boring...... Lu Ning muttered, thought about it, and called the ship in his mind: "Ghost, can you do some special effects on top of my head, and then say congratulations on unlocking the achievement or something......"

“…… Captain, the ship does not have an additional energy budget. But congratulations to the captain for harvesting his first crop, an important milestone in the development of your realm. ”

"It sounds like a PPT for a year-end report to the leader...... Forget it, don't do this. Lu Ning remembered some unnecessary memories from the ghost's tone and the content of his words, and hurriedly stopped him from continuing.

"I don't know what it tastes like, it shouldn't be bad, right?"

It was almost dinner time, and Lu Ning couldn't wait to pick up a lantern fruit, threw it directly into his mouth, and bit the peel with joy.

The thick juice overflows the mouth instantly.

"On this note, according to the scan report," the ghost's voice rang out.

"the groove, the groove, the groove—" Lu Ning squirted out directly.

"The fruit samples of this crop are rich in spiciness, so it can be assumed that the fruit has a very strong spicy taste."

A thick spicy smell rises from the mouth and rushes straight to the seven orifices.

Lu Ning's snot and tears poured down in an instant, and a fine red rash appeared all over his body.

"Hissss

Lu Ning's eyes were red and he looked around, then suddenly grabbed a ball of snow from the ground and stuffed it into his mouth desperately.

After tossing and turning like this for a long time, the hotness that rushed straight to the Tianling Gai was finally relieved, and Lu Ning lay on the ground with a bad expression on his face, and let out a burp sprayed with sparks.

"It's ...... What ...... thing? ”

Lu Ning opened his mouth in a trance, his throat was like smoke, and his voice was extremely hoarse.

"The ship detected an unknown energy in the captain's breath...... Successfully captured ...... Sampling and analysis have been carried out......"

The ghost completely changed the subject.

"Next time if there is such a thing, please let me know in advance, thank you......"

Lu Ning did not relent.

"According to the ship's test report and projections, these spicy factors will not cause physical damage to the captain, and can bring some positive effects."

The ghost explained solemnly: "Did the captain feel the chill in his body being removed? ”

Lu Ning was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly got up from the ground.

It turned out to be true!

A warm current flows from the mouth to the stomach and then throughout the body.

Lu Ning directly took off the animal skin clothes on his body and stood in the cold wind away from the campfire.

And even so, he didn't feel cold at all!

"This fruit has such a wonderful effect?"

Lu Ning was pleasantly surprised.

The effect of this fruit can be compared to the effect of his fur equipment and heating redstone combined.

If the two are combined, wouldn't it be like a spring breeze in this icy and snowy land and cold wind?

It was a bonus!

That bit of taste unpleasantness was instantly left behind by Lu Ning.

But the effect of this fruit is not infinite. After about half an hour—Lu Ning could easily and accurately calculate the time according to the countdown at the manufacturing station—the heat from the fruit gradually subsided, and after another half an hour, it was completely useless.

And that's enough to satisfy him.

One can't be too greedy, and the utility of almost an hour is enough to make him laugh out loud in his dreams at night.

In order to distinguish it from ordinary lantern plants, Lu Ning also officially renamed it "Hot Grass Fruit".

Solemnly put away the remaining four hot grass fruits, Lu Ning continued to start today's study.

And within a few days, with the harvest of this first generation of hot pepper fruit, the remaining few hot grass trees also ripen one after another and fall fruit.

The rest of the crops are also harvestable. Fortunately, the fruit taste of these crops is not so unpleasant, and they are all normal and even familiar flavors.

And the plant that only bloomed but did not bear fruit, under the reminder of the ghost, Lu Ning also dug it out and looked at it - sure enough, the part of this plant buried under the soil was a thick tuber, which was also edible, and it was rich in nutrients and full of quantity.

However, these plants do not have the unusually obvious and wonderful effects of the hot grass fruit, but they do contain an abundance of unknown energy - the ghost of this phenomenon cannot be explained, and it can only be speculated that it is a special phenomenon unique to this planet.

After discussion, Lu Ning also officially named this unknown energy "Void Energy", which means "Void Energy that cannot be resolved".

In fact, he originally wanted to name them "Magic", "Aura", "Elemental" or something like that, but the ghost unfortunately told him that these names had already been registered, and they were indeed forms of energy in the universe, so they could not be used.

But those energy sources are controlled by major galaxy-level civilizations, and these energies do not exist on this planet.

This made Lu Ning very regretful and very excited at the same time.

"So Ottoman is real?"

“…… Not really. However, the Arcturus galaxy has a similar civilization built by massive elemental life. The ghost replied.

"I didn't expect there to be so many interesting things in the universe!" Lu Ning became interested in the intelligent civilization beyond the Blue Starfish from the few words occasionally revealed by the ghost.

"It's not a fun thing." The ghost replied, "Powerful civilizational empires have absolute dominance over weak civilizations, the planet itself is incomparably important as a strategic resource, wars, invasions, massacres and human trafficking are rampant and cannot be controlled, and hundreds of billions of civilizations have suffered disasters that are even more desperate than natural disasters before they can even leave their home planet, simply because their planet contains the necessary resources of other civilizations, or simply because their planet is located on a certain route."

"And there are hardly any two civilizations in the universe that intelligent life has in common in a biological sense. Spanning galaxies, light-years apart, the difference between most intelligent life is ten thousand times greater than that between humans, paramecium, and stone. There is an insurmountable gap between their civilizational ways of being and their ideologies, which makes them completely incomprehensible and empathetic to each other.

There is only one thing they agree with, and I'm afraid that's all there is:

"Those who are not of my race will have different hearts."
