Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free
Chapter 770 Plant-based Psychic
After digging up the plants, Gu Tongwan found a moving company, rented a medium-sized truck directly, and went to the flower and bird market alone again. This time, she did not buy vegetation, but some empty flower pots. She bought nearly hundreds of flower pots of various types. She also bought some soil. However, she had used the space prop [Excavator] to dig a lot of soil from the big forest in the north. These soils are more suitable for planting and are cold and heat-resistant. Even in the underground city, there is no need to worry about the plants withering or dying due to soil problems.
As for the plant-type mutants needed, they were found in a small hunter guild. This person was introduced by Xu Hang. This small guild is affiliated with Xu Hang's guild. It seems that the two guilds are currently discussing the acquisition. It is likely that Xu Hang's guild will accept all the hunters of this small guild in the later stage, and will apply for the qualifications of a large guild at the beginning of next year.
The plant hunter is a girl, her ability level is only around D, she is very short, and looks to be in her early twenties. Upon asking, I learned that she was just a freshman in high school before the natural disaster. Later, in the second year of the apocalypse, she awakened her ability and joined the current guild. Only her father and sister are left at home. Her father works on a construction site, and her sister is a salesperson in a shopping mall.
Because using superpowers requires a certain amount of energy, the amount Gu Tongwan paid was quite high, nearly three hundred points a day, which was almost equal to half a month's salary for the plant-related girl, so she worked very hard.
Originally, the girl had prepared herself mentally, thinking that this would most likely be a tough job and most likely it was another rich man who wanted to use his special powers to revive dying plants, or he wanted her to make the seeds germinate or even grow into green plants in an instant. She had taken on many similar orders before, and although it was a bit tiring, the rewards were generally around 100 points. It was because she consumed too much of her special powers that she had to rest for two or three days every time she got home to recover.
The name of the plant-related girl is very interesting, it is called "Xiao Zhi", which seems to indicate that she has a connection with this special power.
Xiao Zhi already had nutrient solution in his pocket. It was distributed free of charge by the guild. Everyone had five bottles a month. However, because they were just a small guild, the nutrient solution they purchased was of the lowest grade, which at most could replenish physical strength. It was not like other nutrient solutions of slightly better quality, which could not only quickly restore physical strength after drinking, but could also increase supernatural energy.
Xiao Zhi followed the car of other familiar hunters down there. Although the employer said they could provide free pick-up and drop-off, Xiao Zhi's home was close to entrance D and there happened to be other hunters entering the dungeon on a mission, which saved him some trouble.
When Xiaozhi arrived at the guesthouse, he was still a little uncertain, but after taking out his mobile phone to compare the house number, he was sure that this was where he needed to work.
"Girl, who are you looking for?" Brother Huang happened to be squatting in the yard smoking. He had been paying close attention to people coming from outside during this period, and was worried that someone would come to the guesthouse.
The men seen in the surveillance video before would occasionally hang around nearby, not only at the guesthouse, but it seemed that they had also come up to chat with them in other stores.
Seeing Huang Ge's vigilant eyes, Xiao Zhi quickly handed over her business card, "I'm a hunter from the Sky Guild, and the boss here hired me." Xiao Zhi really didn't look like a guild hunter. In such a cold day, she even wore a horse-faced skirt with a short cotton jacket on top. She had short hair and wore black-framed glasses, and looked more like a good student with excellent character and academic performance.
However, you can't judge whether someone is a hunter just by their appearance or clothing these days, so after Huang took the business card, he nodded and said, "Wait a minute, I'll call the boss to confirm."
While Brother Huang was on the phone, Xiao Zhi was also observing the surrounding environment.
The yard wall is about three meters high. There are two cameras and several stone benches and chairs in the yard. The yard is not small, about 50 square meters. However, the only bad thing is that the yard is bare and looks a bit desolate compared to the modern decorated house.
Xiaozhi remembered communicating with the boss here on the phone. She was mainly responsible for the green plants in the yard and on the roof. It was now eleven o'clock in the morning. She arrived about half an hour early from the agreed time, so she simply sat on the stone bench in the yard and waited.
Huang was quite enthusiastic. Seeing a little girl waiting outside, he took out a bottle of water and said, "Girl, drink some water. The boss lady was out this morning, but it seems she is out buying furniture with our employees again. She probably won't be back until around twelve o'clock. She has already told you to rest in the lobby if you come. There are sofas over there so you can sit comfortably."
Xiao Zhi thanked him and took the water, but did not open it and drink it immediately. In the end times, one still has to remain vigilant about the enthusiasm of strangers.
However, Brother Huang was busy looking at the decoration of the guest rooms and did not pay attention to these small details. After explaining things, he went back upstairs.
There was no one around, and Xiaozhi, as an independent person, felt relieved. So she came to the living room. She finally understood why the boss insisted on arranging some green plants both outside and inside the house. The decoration inside really gave off the feeling of an exquisite small B&B before the end of the world. For example, the ceiling was made of an antique wooden structure, the chandelier had a very ancient feel, and the stools and chairs were all made of wood. This kind of wood was polished and felt cold to the touch. Even the stairs leading up the stairs were spiral, and looking up she felt like she was back in the 1920s and 1930s.
It can be seen that the boss here has a certain aesthetic ability and is willing to invest. Although the guesthouse is small, the interior decoration is in no way inferior to some high-end hotels in the base.
After Xiao Zhi took a walk around, she returned to the rest area and took out her cell phone to check messages. The signal in the dungeon was much better than she had imagined. There were about four bars above and three bars here. It was not like what was said on the Internet that there was no signal at all.
I don't know if it's because the dungeon is about to open, but rumors about the dungeon's upcoming implementation of a citizen hierarchy system have begun to ferment on the forum. At present, there are more negative comments than positive comments. After all, when anyone hears about the hierarchy system, the first thing that comes to mind is phrases such as "human rights" and "racial hierarchy" that make people feel psychologically uncomfortable. The introduction of such a hierarchy system will make people feel like they have returned to a feudal society.
At present, the official explanation is that it is to standardize the regional control of the dungeon. Some special occasions require a corresponding level to enter. Secondly, the citizen hierarchy system is also to make residents entering the dungeon have a sense of competition. If you want to improve your level, you can do it based on your contribution value.
Although there are many opposing voices on the Internet, there are still nearly 100,000 people who apply to enter the city online in the early stage of the opening of the dungeon. For a base with a total population of about 500,000, the number of one-fifth is far more than the opposing voices on the Internet, because everyone knows that in the next few decades the dungeon will become the last refuge and Noah's Ark to save mankind.
Xiaozhi's family conditions are not good. At present, she still lives in the border area between the outer circle and the inner circle. This is the best house she can find. After all, the house for her family of three is still rented, and the family income can only cover daily expenses and rent. Entering the underground city and becoming a citizen of the underground city is simply a fantasy for her at this stage.
Around twelve o'clock, Xiao Zhi heard the sound of a car outside, so he stood up and walked out. About a few meters away from the door, he saw a large truck parked outside. Two workers were moving some potted plants and vegetation from it, while another truck was filled with tables, chairs and benches, and workers were also unloading the goods.
This morning, Gu Tongwan first found a truck to pack the plants and load them onto the truck. She also made an appointment with the flower and bird market to find a truck to deliver the potted plants she ordered. Then, a batch of tables and chairs that had been ordered two days ago were also shipped today.
Fortunately, apart from the medium-sized truck she rented herself, the rest of the vehicles were free delivery vehicles from the flower and bird market and the building materials market.
Today is a heavy day for Gu Tongwan. First of all, he has to put away all the tables, chairs and benches he purchased, and then he has to decorate the yard on the first floor and the garden on the rooftop. One day is not enough for these two tasks, and it will take at least two days to arrange everything properly.
Gu Tongwan had been busy all morning and was sweating all over. She was only wearing a black turtleneck sweater and her hair was tied up casually, but Xiao Zhi still found that this young woman who was busy running around was very beautiful. Even the workers who were checking the goods with her couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
Xiao Zhi was now certain that the woman in front of her was her employer who had been in contact with her online, and also the proprietress of this guesthouse. However, she did not expect that the other party would be so young, and seemed to be only a few years older than her.
"Hello, I'm from the Sky Guild. I've contacted you online before." Xiao Zhi couldn't help but clench the backpack straps in front of his chest, and stepped forward nervously to identify himself.
Gu Tongwan had been busy before, and because Xiao Zhi hadn't sent her any messages, she thought that the other party had gone to hang out somewhere else. After all, most people who enter the dungeon for the first time are very interested in everything around them, so they think that Xiao Zhi will hang out around like everyone else.
Gu Tongwan picked up a towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He saw that Xiaozhi was short and slender, about 1.5253 meters tall, wearing a dark blue cotton jacket and jeans, with a red mohair hat on his head. He looked more like a tourist than a psychic.
"I'm sorry, you may need to wait for me for a while. By the way, have you had lunch?"
Xiao Zhi naturally hadn't eaten lunch, but before she went out, she put two pot cakes made by her father in her bag, and took them out to show Gu Tongwan: "I brought them myself."
Gu Tongwan just nodded, then pointed to the sofa in the lounge area, "Then please wait there for a while, about half an hour. I'll ask the workers to move the things in, and then I'll count the goods and come back."
"It's okay, you go ahead and do your work, I can wait." Xiao Zhi didn't dare to express dissatisfaction with his employer, so he obediently returned to the sofa and checked his phone, only occasionally looking up in the direction of the restaurant.
About ten minutes later, Xiao Zhi, who was still browsing his phone intently, suddenly found someone approaching him. Just as he was about to stand up, he found a transparent lunch box being handed to him right under his eyes.
"Here's a box lunch. Take it. I just heated it up. Eat it while it's hot."
When Xiao Zhi found out that the person coming was the boss's wife, he became a little at a loss and did not take the lunch box immediately.
Gu Tongwan smiled and put the lunch box on the coffee table. "I forgot to tell you, if you come here to help me, breakfast and lunch are usually included."
Only then did Xiao Zhi realize that she was holding a large plastic bucket in her hand, which contained the same lunch box as the one on the coffee table.
After Gu Tongwan left, Xiao Zhi realized that she had also started distributing lunch boxes to the workers. Some workers couldn't wait to eat, and suddenly the whole restaurant was filled with the aroma of food.
"Gululu..." Xiaozhi's stomach started to growl.
As expected, no one can resist the temptation of delicious food. Besides, the aroma of rice and the taste of dishes in the restaurant stimulate Xiaozhi's taste buds.
Because she was in a hurry to go out in the morning, she only ate half a steamed bun and a boiled egg, and she was already hungry now.
The fact that so many people were eating meant that the food should be fine, but she still waited for about ten minutes until the workers had finished eating before she started to open the lunch boxes.
The lunch box contains two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, and both the vegetables and rice are fully packed, including a whole roasted chicken leg, stir-fried meat, and mushrooms and rapeseed. The rice is also distinct in grains and is soaked with the fat from the chicken leg and pork belly.
Just this box of lunch would cost at least thirty or forty points outside. After all, so much meat is not cheap.
After once again expressing his admiration for the proprietress' generosity, Xiao Zhi took the lead in taking a bite of the stir-fried pork and put it into his mouth. He originally thought that it was mutated pork so there would be a bit of pork smell, but he didn't expect that after taking a bite, there was no strange smell at all, but instead it was full of meaty aroma.
Originally, Xiaozhi's appetite was only about one or two ounces of rice. Since the apocalypse, she had been living frugally and didn't even dare to eat more than two bites of rice, for fear of burdening her family. But in less than ten minutes, she had already eaten up nearly three ounces of rice, and even when she was full, she didn't plan to stop.
After burping, Xiao Zhi touched his bulging belly. He was surprised at his appetite and curious about what was added to the food. Otherwise, how could the meat have no strange taste? Even the rice was crystal clear and did not look like the rough rice sold in the base.
"How's it going? Are you full? If not, there's more."
A clear voice came from the front. Xiao Zhi raised his head and was met with a pair of smiling eyes.
Xiao Zhi, who was so shocked that her supernatural powers were disrupted, suddenly had countless green rhizomes and roots appearing on her body. In less than ten seconds, a small patch of green plants appeared behind her.
