Lu Ning counted until the end, only to find that there was a small black and white beast lying on the ground with its head buried in the back, mixed in the prey pile, and almost let it get by.

Lu Ning walked up to it and bent down to look at it.

"I've found you, get up, right?"

The little beast, however, remained motionless, and seemed to think that it had been well hidden.

Lu Ning was speechless.

"Okay, I thought I had gained enough and planned to let you go. Since you sent it to the door yourself, I'm not welcome. ”

Lu Ning turned around and picked up the hand axe and stone knife, and gestured on the other party's body.

The little beast trembled, but still didn't look up, and was still there pretending to be dead prey, as if it really thought it was well hidden, and Lu Ning didn't notice it at all.

Lu Ning is not a person who is overflowing with love, to be honest, he has no burden at all when he goes down and uses this little guy as reserve food.

Sensei said that there is a wild monster in the other world that you don't know, and when you are about to starve to death, you see a giant panda and kill it to eat meat, and you don't break the law.

Of course, whether you can beat that is another story......

Just the job of hunting, what stands out is a sustainable fishing effort.

The big ones are not let go, and the small ones cannot be touched, so as to ensure that the number of prey is kept constant, so that it can continue to reproduce and grow.

So this young beast Lu Ning didn't plan to start, and wanted to let it grow up.

It's just that I didn't expect this fool to follow him back for some reason, and he didn't even know how to escape.

It's just that when Lu Ning was gesturing and preparing to start, the ghost's voice suddenly sounded.

"Captain, I suggest you keep a sample of this young beast and raise it."

The ghost rarely takes the initiative to talk to Lu Ning, and it is not easy to make suggestions. Maybe it's because the ship's energy is not enough to support the ghost's frequent opening, or maybe Lu Ning's actions and choices have always been excellent, and there is no need to give advice.

And this time, the ghost took the initiative to raise objections to Lu Ning's behavior, which made Lu Ning feel very fresh.

And Lu Ning also knew that ghosts would never be untargeted—on the eve of such a blizzard, raising a useless monster was definitely a thankless task.

Sure enough, before Lu Ning could ask, the ghost had already said his reason: "According to the ship's scan report, this monster's body contains an astonishing amount of void energy, and its nature is similar to the captain's bluestone, but it is completely different in magnitude.

"This ship believes that this sample has great research value. Perhaps we can use this sample to analyze the nature and nature of virtual energy, which may not only help the captain's survival, but also may provide a new solution to the ship's energy problem. ”

This young beast and bluestone have the same properties on the void level?

Lu Ning was stunned for a moment, and reached out to touch the young beast.

Sure enough, before Lu Ning's hand touched the other party's fur, he faintly felt a stinging pain coming from the palm of his hand.

After Lu Ning knew about the existence of the void energy, he asked the ghost to test everything around him.

The end result is that the Hotgrass Fruit and Redstone have similar properties, and the virtual energy content is not much different.

Bluestone has the same content as it, but its properties are different.

Green potatoes and other crops are different from the first two and have very little virtual energy.

This is also the reason why Lu Ning originally planned to call the void energy "elemental magic" and "five elements aura".

Because virtual energy clearly embodies properties like "fire" and "wind" in these things.

The reason for being denied by the ghost is also very simple, one is that those energies are things that have been recognized, and virtual energy is completely different from it.

The second is that although the virtual energy detected from these objects shows a variety of variations, there is no difference in their intrinsic nature.

In other words, virtual energy is all the same, just on different objects and therefore has different manifestations.

It's like electricity: when you power up a light bulb, the light bulb will glow. Power the refrigerator and the refrigerator will cool.

But in this process, there is no difference in the electricity itself, but the item is converted from one energy to another - the electricity is converted into light and low temperature, but you can't say that it is light and ice.

Void energy is similar to this. It's just that...... Converting electrical energy into something else requires an extremely complex modern process that would at best cause a fire.

However, it is not surprising that virtual energy can complete all kinds of complex transformations in various innate natural things.

Void energy itself has no elemental properties, only a transformed manifestation - but the thing itself is clearly related to the void in a different way, which the ghost calls "void nature".

For example, the Grass Fruit and Redstone have similar "fire" void properties. But the nature of this is not to describe virtual energy, but to describe the object itself.

Above.

The general path followed the ghost's advice. Void energy has extraordinary significance for both him and ships, and a large number of void energy carriers that are alive and kicking are obviously more valuable to study than a dead void energy stone.

"You're in luck." Lu Ning reached out and grabbed the back of the young beast's neck, and a tingling pain came from his fingertips, but it quickly disappeared.

The young beast finally realized that it had been discovered by Lu Ning, opened its eyes, and kicked its four little short legs indiscriminately, but this struggle was of no use to Lu Ning.

"You can follow me from now on. You give me a research sample, I will give you food and shelter, but there is no salary, no five insurances and one housing fund, when the food is sufficient, I can give you some extra snacks, you have no right to object, so it is decided. ”

I don't know if the young beast understood, no longer fluttering the four little short legs, staring at Lu Ning with two eyes, and then stretched out two front legs in front of him, and made a gesture towards Lu Ning.

"Hey, that's pretty sensible. Although his brain is a little stupid, this person understands the world. ”

Lu Ning was amused and put it back on the ground.

"But I'm not the kind of leader who just listens to sycophants. You can stay here in peace, and if there is research on the ghost's side in the future, I can give you some reward. ”

The young beast nodded busily, but if you look closely at its expression, you will find that this thing should be purely the mentality of the little employee shouting "Hey, yes, yes, what you said is right" when the leader draws the pie.

As for what the leader said, I definitely didn't understand it at all.

As for why Lu Ning is so familiar, it is because he usually has this expression when he draws a big pie in front of the leader......

Lu Ning put the young beast next to the campfire, and watching it form a comfortable group, Lu Ning suddenly felt as if it was good to have such an extra item in the camp.

"You were picked up in the cave left by the wolf on the eve of the snowstorm, so I called you...... Well, let's call you flatbread. ”

Lu Ning nodded with satisfaction. The name entrusts his own good wishes: to be able to eat and drink enough every day, and to eat fragrant flatbread every day. So it's a beautiful name.

Well.

Stretching, Lu Ning called the ghost, ready to receive today's special supplies.
