Q Bomb Jelly (v1c46)
Even though the sweet dew was edible, despite its medium radiation, Ye Sheng felt no joy at all. She decided to exchange the sweet dew for points, no matter how delicious it was.
She would rather drink nutrient solution!
She quickly closed the forum function and tucked the Super Intelligent Network watch back into her arms. Holding a torch in one hand, she squatted down and picked up a pebble with the other. She poked the sweet dew with the pebble.
The fist-sized ball of yellow liquid bounced around, but did not burst.
It looked like Q-bomb jelly.
Ye Sheng stopped poking and saw that the pebble was dry. She took out a small nylon bag from her backpack and put the sweet dew in it.
Then she tied the bag around her waist and looked ahead, silently.
This time, she had discovered not only a dizzying number of black bugs, but also N drops of honey bud sweet dew hidden under them. Although the production method of the sweet dew disgusted Ye Sheng, its value was extremely high.
And the sweet dew was small enough to fit in a bag.
She knew that in the plantation, she had to hand over half of the potatoes she found, as they were officially designated by the base. But she could keep any other items she found.
That meant she could keep all these honey bugs and sweet dew!
Wow, what a gold mine!
With that thought in mind, Ye Sheng became more diligent. She kicked the intrusive bugs aside and scanned the area with her torch.
'Beep~ A drop of sweet dew from highly radioactive honey bugs. Inedible!'
'Beep~ A drop of sweet dew from highly radioactive honey bugs. Inedible!'
'Beep~ A drop of sweet dew from medium-radiation honey bugs. Edible in moderation!'
Ye Sheng felt like she was searching for eggs in a henhouse. After convincing herself, she no longer felt so repulsed by the honey bugs. She focused on the detection machine in her hand.
She had used the detection machine many times since she came to the wasteland world.
But she didn't pay much attention at first, and later she realized...there was something wrong with this machine.
Sometimes the scan would give prompts, but other times they would be brief and incomplete. For example, when she scanned the Honeydew Sweetbug earlier, there was no warning to consume it sparingly.
But now there was.
It was inconsistent.
Although the problem was not serious, Ye Sheng couldn't help complaining that the free ones were always shoddy.
When she got rich in the future, she would get a better one!
As Ye Sheng's mind wandered, her movements were not slow. After a long search, she harvested fifteen drops of medium-radiation sweet dew and three drops of low-radiation sweet dew. It was a great haul!
Based on one drop being worth more than 100 points, these should be worth two thousand base points.
Just finding the sweet dew made Ye Sheng's trip worthwhile!
(*^▽^*)
Ye Sheng looked at the crawling honey bugs and wished she could take them all with her. But the honey bugs had a flaw: they would die when exposed to light. As soon as she took them out of the rat hole, she would end up with beeworm carcasses.
And she would get the honey sweet insect corpse decay acceleration buff.
The trip to and from the botanical garden was long, and by the time she brought the bodies of the honey bugs to the swap shop, they would probably stink.
Unless she slaughtered the insect carcasses on site, she would have to dry them immediately to remove the moisture, turning them into dried insects for easy storage.
But Ye Sheng only had a simple torch. Even if she found the ray hole, the plantation was barren and there was no fuel to burn.
So she had to give up.
At least, she still had the sweet dew, which could restore some of her blood.
It took her some time to encounter the sweet honey bud bug. Ye Sheng returned to the main road and then entered another large passage to continue exploring the mouse hole.
Before using the Super Intelligent Network to search for Honeydew Sweetbug, Ye Sheng had wondered why porcupine rats bred insects.
Now it seemed that they had set up a dessert processing station for their own enjoyment.
They could sweeten their mouths at any time.
Thinking of the production method of Honeydew Sweetbug, Ye Sheng couldn't help but grimace, shake her head quickly, and drive away the unnecessary thoughts. She thought of other things instead.
Last time, she had harvested a large amount of edible grains in the mouse hole. Maybe she would harvest even more this time. But if they were all potatoes, the base officials would take their share.
Oh well.
It would be nice if she had a space ring.
She didn't care about the spatial form, whether it was a ring, a bracelet, or a necklace.
As long as it made it easier for her to 'smuggle' across the country.
But it was a pity that she didn't deserve to get this kind of good thing that was only for the chosen ones.
She could try making a wish in the lucky draw and spend double the points, just like this time when she was protected by the prop iron gate when she faced danger. But she still owed a thousand points that she hadn't paid back. How could she owe more?
It was like any kind of loan. She didn't feel like she was spending much at first, so she became extravagant. But when she looked at the amount of the bill, it was already unbearable.
Indulging herself would have a paralyzing effect, and it would be too late to regret it by then.
That was why, when Ye Sheng was studying, her family members were afraid that she would get a campus loan when they read the relevant news. It was so funny that she would rather work to make money than get involved in that thing.
She would pay back the thousand points she owed to the lottery space as soon as possible.
Ye Sheng sighed silently at the thought of being in debt. She was already thinking about whether to kill the porcupine rat and then go to the place where the mercenaries fought with the Netherworld Jackdaw to see if she could pick up some extra points.
By that time, the mercenaries would have probably finished fighting, so it would be very safe.
Ye Sheng didn't intend to let go of the three spiny rats. She had to kill them to feel satisfied. Besides, she had the advantage of the porcupine rats' 'hatred value' towards her skyrocketing, along with the barrier of the iron gate for protection. She could go all out.
Even if she missed, it didn't matter. She had plenty of time to waste.
'Click'
As Ye Sheng was secretly planning this, gravel suddenly fell from the earth wall on the right side ahead.
She immediately looked up and saw the wall of earth collapse with a 'bang', and a spiny rat emerged and rushed towards Ye Sheng with its teeth and claws. But it was blocked by a wall of air, and it could only stand upright and use its two claws to scratch furiously.
Incompetent rage.
Ye Sheng took a closer look and saw that the porcupine rat had marks of being beaten on its head. It was the one she had dealt with before.
Good grief, it didn't wait for her from above, but dug a hole and attacked.
Ye Sheng decided to fight back, and quickly summoned a small hoe. She swung it at the porcupine rat's head, but the spiny rat was alert and dodged in time, leaving Ye Sheng with a miss.
Seeing that the creature was copying her, Ye Sheng rolled her eyes in annoyance, and then promptly put away the hoe.
She ignored the porcupine rat and continued forward with the torch.
If she couldn't kill it, then she would let it be until she finished her 'treasure hunt'.
So, accompanied by the angry squeaks of the porcupine rat, Ye Sheng walked around and soon reached the end of the mouse hole.
She held up the burning torch and looked ahead. She saw a huge rat nest made of vines and grass leaves.
She could imagine how much food was hidden underneath.
But Ye Sheng's attention was not on the rat nest, but on the stone platform on the other side, where three black stones were placed.
They were energy stones! ! !
