The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 118: Comprehending Skills, the Power Version of Spirit Stone

Taoist Lin complained miserably, and from time to time he stole glances at Liang Yuan to observe his expression.

Liang Yuan had a calm expression, showing no sympathy or indignation.

He interrupted Lin Laodao's complaint and asked, "How many live fish do you have?"

"what?"

Taoist Lin was stunned. He obviously didn't expect that Liang Yuan would ask about the catch instead of Deng Hu.

He was a little confused and thought, I traded so many fish with you last time, aren't you tired of them yet?

However, he changed his words and said, "We caught a lot of fish. I was going to trade with you guys this morning, but I didn't expect the cableway to be destroyed."

"Mr. Liang, I'd like to ask, what do you want so many fish for? Can't you catch fish over there?"

Taoist Lin suspected that Liang Yuan was not catching fish for eating, otherwise it would be hard to explain why he kept collecting fish.

Liang Yuan glanced at him and said, "Master Lin, since you know it's presumptuous, I think you'd better not ask."

"Take me to see the catch. We'll talk about Deng Hu later."

"Um...Okay, both of you follow me."

Taoist Lin had no choice but to look at Yang Shenmin and lead the two of them downstairs.

For Liang Yuan, the most important thing now is not Deng Hu, who is just a small character.

What he cares more about is the frog man outside!
If we don’t deal with the frog man, it will be difficult to return to Building 76.

The best way right now is to kill fish quickly to earn points and draw lots to increase attributes.

The group quickly went downstairs. Shi Haizhu and others quickly made way and looked at Liang Yuan and his group in awe.

Mr. Lin’s room is on the top floor of unit 3201, number , which is the same as Liang Yuan’s house’s room number.

However, it seems that this is not Taoist Lin’s home. They must have moved here later.

"Please, because Deng Hu's people have been harassing the fishing spot these days, the fish we can catch are limited. After a few days, we have only accumulated more than 500 fish in total."

When the door opened, a fishy smell hit the room.

There is an inflatable pool in the living room with a large number of mutant fish swimming in it.

Liang Yuan took a rough look and found that there were indeed about five or six hundred of them.

He was delighted. If he killed all five or six hundred mutant fish, he would be able to earn at least four or five thousand points.

He immediately said, "Yes, I will deal with these fish later, and I will give you the food."

What Lin Laodao is concerned about now is not the food, but the big trouble of Deng Hu.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but say, "Mr. Liang, I can definitely trust you in your work. After all, we have done business several times before."

"Right now the problem is not the transaction, it's Deng Hu. That's the big problem."

"Look, these past two or three days, based on our previous harvests, we can catch five or six hundred fish a day."

"It's because Deng Hu has been harassing us time and again that we have only been able to catch these few fish so far."

"As long as we don't get rid of this Deng Hu, we will never be able to catch any fish."

What he said and did not say was simply that he hoped Liang Yuan could help and deal with Deng Hu.

How could Liang Yuan not understand what he meant?

Deng Hu destroyed the cableway, preventing him from earning points, and was doomed to death.

But he certainly can't say anything, otherwise how can we negotiate the terms?
Liang Yuan glanced at Lin Laodao and said, "Do you want me to help you kill Deng Hu?"

Lin Laodao said quickly: "It's not just helping me, it's helping yourself too. Only by killing Deng Hu can the owners of this building have no worries, and we can concentrate on catching fish, right?"

Liang Yuan immediately laughed: "Master Lin, I think you misunderstood something. In fact, there are many places where I can choose to trade. Since I can come to Building 75, I can go to Building 74, or even Building 77."

"I think the food I have should not have any trouble selling, right?"

Taoist Lin's expression suddenly changed, and he looked a little unhappy.

Yang Shenmin quickly said, "Mr. Liang, people from other buildings may not be as sincere in cooperating as we are."

"We have a history of cooperation. As you have seen in these transactions, we have completed all transactions with guaranteed quality and quantity."

"If you approach the owners of other buildings, they may not trust you, and they may even covet the food in your hands. Then... you may get into trouble."

Taoist Lin also nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, Doctor Yang is right, Mr. Liang, if you don't want to see the monk's face, you should see the Buddha's face. Just think of it as helping us."

Liang Yuan raised his eyebrows, ignoring what the Taoist said about Buddha's face, but paid attention to the address he gave to the middle-aged man with glasses next to him.

"Doctor Yang? Are you a doctor?"

Liang Yuan looked at the man wearing glasses and asked.

Yang Shenmin was stunned, and nodded quickly: "Yes, Mr. Liang, my name is Yang Shenmin, and I'm a doctor."

"Western medicine or Chinese medicine?" Liang Yuan asked.

"Uh, Chinese medicine."

Liang Yuan couldn't help but laugh, he remembered this person.

Sister Mei had mentioned to him before that there was a Chinese medicine doctor in the owners’ group, and it seemed that this was the person.

At this time, doctors are definitely in short supply.

Not to mention minor ailments like headaches and fever, even injuries like Zhao Kai's fracture last time, Western medicine may not be able to cure it, but if Chinese medicine is used, the bones can be set and fixed, and he can actually recover.

Another point is that Chinese medicine relies much less on instruments than Western medicine. At a time like this, it is impossible to find Western medical instruments, and this is the time for Chinese medicine to show its prowess.

Therefore, if Dr. Yang Shenmin has real skills and knowledge, he is definitely a rare talent.

Liang Yuan looked at him deeply, thought for a moment and said, "Since it is Doctor Yang who asked, I am willing to give him this favor, but killing Deng Hu shouldn't be in vain, right?"

Both Mr. Lin and Doctor Yang were stunned.

Taoist Lin thought to himself: I am a person with special abilities, don’t I have more face than this ordinary person named Yang?

Doctor Yang was skeptical and asked, "Do I have such a great reputation?"
However, the two of them turned their attention to Liang Yuan's words.

Lin Laodao couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Liang, what do you want?"

Liang Yuan got straight to the point and said bluntly: "Fish, kill Deng Hu, I want you to provide at least a thousand fish."

"One thousand?" Lin Laodao was a little surprised.

Yang Shenmin couldn't help but say, "Mr. Liang, we are lucky. We can only get 500 to 600 pieces a day. If we get 1,000 pieces, it will take at least two days."

Taoist Lin also hurriedly said: "Yes, Mr. Liang, Deng Hu is watching nearby, he won't let us catch fish so easily."

"One thousand, isn't that a bit too much?"

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "I didn't say that I would ask you to give it to me now. You can wait until I kill Deng Hu before handing it over."

"Oh, but just to be on the safe side, the 500-plus fish in this room are used as a deposit. After I kill Deng Hu, you can give me the remaining fish. How about that?"

Hearing this, both Lin Laodao and Yang Shenmin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It wouldn't be a big problem if we killed Deng Hu and then gave him the fish.

As long as Deng Hu died, Lin Laodao and Yang Shenmin could focus on arranging people to catch fish.

By that time, a thousand fish would be no problem at all.

Taoist Lin immediately said, "Okay, I'll trouble you, Mr. Liang. As long as you can kill Deng Hu, we will pay for a thousand fish."

Liang Yuan nodded: "Okay, now go collect information about Deng Hu, find out where he lives, who is around him, and whether there are other mutant humans."

"I need to deal with these fish. Let me know when you find out. I need to come up with a plan."

After listening to this, Lin Laodao was immediately impressed and said, "Mr. Liang is really thoughtful. I will ask someone to investigate right away."

Yang Shenmin nodded secretly, thinking that Mr. Liang was indeed methodical in his work and not the reckless type.

At that moment, Lin Laodao and Yang Shenmin acted separately, and Yang Shenmin went to find someone to investigate Deng Hu's intelligence.

Taoist Lin began to count the fish.

I counted them and there were five hundred and ninety-seven in total.

Taoist Lin said with a shy face, "Mr. Liang, five hundred and ninety-seven, rounding up to six hundred, is that okay with you?"

Liang Yuan glanced at him and said, "Is that how you get it together? Why don't you guys go first when we kill Deng Hu, and I'll make my move when he's still got a breath left?"

Zhao Kai couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "Master Lin, I've only heard of rounding off numbers, how can you round it up like this?"

Taoist Lin laughed: "Just kidding, haha, just kidding, three fish, I will ask someone to make up for it later, what do you want to do with it? I will arrange for someone to kill the fish for you."

Liang Yuan waved his hand: "No need, I'll kill the fish, you can ask someone to clean it up later."

Taoist Lin was puzzled. He thought, there are nearly 600 fish. How long will it take you to kill them all by yourself?
However, the next moment, Liang Yuan's action made him open his eyes wide.

Liang Yuan was seen walking to the edge of the pool with his eyes slightly closed. The next moment, a strange wave suddenly emanated from his body.

Immediately afterwards, invisible waves swept towards the fish pond in an instant.

In an instant, the mutated fish in the fish pond jumped violently, as if they had sensed the crisis.

bang bang bang...

Muffled sounds were heard one after another, and the heads of the mutant fishes shook and blood flowed from their eyes. The next moment, they all fell straight into the pool.

clap clap clap...

Water splashed everywhere, and all six hundred fish died in an instant!

During this process, Liang Yuan didn't even open his eyes.

"This this……"

Taoist Lin was filled with horror and looked at Liang Yuan in disbelief.

Even Zhao Kai, who was familiar with Liang Yuan, was stunned.

"What kind of ability is this, Brother Liang? Is the spatial ability so powerful?"

He thought Liang Yuan was using spatial abilities.

Liang Yuan opened his eyes, with a hint of fatigue in them. He had just killed the fish with one strike, and had used up too much mental energy at once, which consumed a lot of energy.

"Ding, you used your mental power to kill 597 mutant creatures at once, and you learned a mental skill."

Liang Yuan was stunned for a moment and quickly checked the property panel.

However, I saw that on the attribute panel and the skill bar, in addition to the [Muscle Burst] skill, there was indeed one more skill!
[Mental Shock]: Mental shock

Quality: white

Skill requirements: Mental strength 5 points, physical strength 5 points

Skill effect: A burst of mental force shocks the enemy, forcibly destroying their mental consciousness. The attack range is determined by the mental attribute.

Note: If the enemy's mental strength attribute is higher than yours, you may suffer backlash from the mental shock.

Liang Yuan's eyes lit up instantly.

"I've been killing fish for so long, and I've killed nearly a thousand of them. I've finally mastered a skill for killing fish on a large scale, and it's a mental skill!"

Liang Yuan was delighted, because this skill was not gained through lottery, but something he learned through continuous killing of fish.

He suddenly felt that the continuous spiritual attribute points he drew were simply the guidance of God.

"With this skill, maybe I can try to deal with that frog man."

"I wonder how high the spiritual attribute of that frog man is."

"No, I still have to improve my spiritual attributes as soon as possible, preferably to more than 10 points."

Liang Yuan took a look at his own points.

Current points: 5162!

Liang Yuan's eyes flashed, this meant that he could at least draw five attribute points.

"Mr. Liang, you...what kind of supernatural power do you have? It's amazing!"

While Liang Yuan was thinking, Lin Laodao finally came to his senses and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Liang Yuan just smiled and said, "Master Lin, the next thing is up to you. Please help me deal with these fish. I will take them away later."

“Well, we need to rebuild the cableway. Otherwise, it will be difficult to take away so many fish, right?” Lin Laodao couldn’t help but say.

Zhao Kai smiled and said, Brother Liang has the ability of space, so he can take away as many things as he wants.

However, he did not say much. Brother Liang told them about the spatial ability because he trusted them.

Naturally, he would not reveal such secrets to outsiders.

Liang Yuan just smiled and said, "Of course the cableway needs to be rebuilt, but before that, we have to get rid of Deng Hu first."

"Yes, yes. Once we get rid of Deng Hu, there will be no more troubles and everyone will have a good life."

Taoist Lin nodded quickly. At this moment, he really didn't dare to put on airs in front of Liang Yuan.

Before, I just thought that Liang Yuan was like Deng Hu, probably a person with power abilities.

Now it seems that is not the case at all.

Liang Yuan’s ability is so weird. He can kill hundreds of mutant fish in an instant with just closing his eyes.

If this happened to a human, what would happen?
He was filled with awe and excitement for Liang Yuan at the same time.

With such a helper, what is Deng Hu?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Zhao Kai coming over and said, "Brother Liang, I'll freeze the fish first to prevent it from going bad over time."

Liang Yuan nodded: "Okay."

Zhao Kai reached his hand into the pool, and his frost ability was activated. Suddenly, the entire pool was covered with a layer of ice that was visibly formed.

Seeing this scene, Lin Laodao's eyes widened again: "Fuck!"

It was not until this moment that he realized that the ability of Zhao Kai in front of him was not just to make an ice umbrella for show.

This is a magical skill that can make ice cubes and freeze food!
You know, after they catch the fish, they often don't dare to catch too many, for fear that the fish will die and go bad.

Even if we catch too many, there is no way to process and save them.

But if there is a person with special abilities like Zhao Kai, he can just freeze the extra fish and eat it for a long time.

He immediately became eager and asked, "Brother Zhao, can you sell this ice?"

Zhao Kai was stunned and a little surprised.

It was the first time someone asked him to buy ice.

"You want ice?"

"Yes, you can see that the weather is so hot now that meat can't be kept."

"If we had ice, we could keep it longer."

Zhao Kai frowned: "How do you want to buy it?"

"Forehead……"

Taoist Lin suddenly didn't know what to say, because he hadn't figured out how to buy it.

Liang Yuan, who was standing by, suddenly smiled and said, "Master Lin, I have an idea. Do you want to hear it?"

Lin Laodao said quickly: "You go ahead."

"My brother's frost ability can indeed create a large amount of ice."

"It's just one or two cubes of ice. You can't store anything."

"My brother can help you build an ice cellar, so that you can have a natural refrigerator to use."

"Every half a month, my brother can come over to help you maintain the ice cellar, make ice cubes, and ensure the low-temperature refrigeration effect."

"As for the cost, it is divided into ice cellar manufacturing cost and ice cellar maintenance cost."

After hearing this, Lin Laodao was immediately moved.

Make an ice cellar, then you can store a lot of things.

Even if we can’t catch any fish in the future, we won’t go hungry.

He quickly said, "I think it's OK, but how do we make this ice cellar?"

Liang Yuan laughed immediately: "There are so many rooms in this building, why don't you just empty one room and use it to make an ice cellar?"

"By the way, the ice cellar must be kept warm, otherwise it will melt easily. You can collect quilts, Simmons mattresses, sponge cushions and the like to seal the room."

"This will ensure the refrigeration effect of the ice cellar and prevent it from melting quickly."

Taoist Lin nodded repeatedly, feeling that what Liang Yuan said was very professional.

Taoist Lin asked, "Mr. Zhao, are you still collecting fish?"

Hearing this, Zhao Kai subconsciously looked at Liang Yuan.

To be honest, if he is full, the whole family will not be hungry, so they will not be short of food in the short term.

However, Brother Liang seemed to have been hoarding fish and meat, and he couldn't help but look inquiring.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Do you have anything else besides fish?"

Taoist Lin shook his head awkwardly: "No more, now we can only eat fish."

"Then trade the fish to build the icehouse. Five thousand fish. Each time we do maintenance, one thousand fish. Is that a problem?"

Liang Yuan gave a number that was neither high nor low.

Five thousand fish. If Deng Hu and his gang were dealt with, it would probably take only five or six days for Lin Laodao and his men to catch fish with all their strength every day.

This price is really reasonable and not outrageous.

Without any hesitation, Lin Laodao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take charge of this matter. Brother Zhao, please take care of it when the time comes."

Zhao Kai grinned and said, "Leave it to me. You guys go ahead and choose a location."

Taoist Lin nodded quickly. Suddenly he remembered something and said quickly, "Oh, I have something else here. Do you guys want to take it? Can it be used to buy some fish?"

As he spoke, he immediately took out a white stone from his Taoist robe.

Liang Yuan was a little surprised. He looked at the stone in his hand and asked, "What is this?"

"I don't know either. I found it on the wall at the bottom of the building. It was attached to the wall like a conch."

"I, the Taoist priest, took the initiative to name it Lingshi."

"This thing seems to be able to replenish the supernatural energy in our bodies."

Taoist Lin hurriedly explained.

Liang Yuan was stunned and immediately took the white stone.

Holding the stone in his hand, Liang Yuan could not feel the existence of any supernatural energy.

Only then did he realize that he had not awakened any special powers at all, so naturally he didn't feel anything.

He then handed the stone to Zhao Kai and asked Zhao Kai to feel it.

"Look at it."

Zhao Kai took the stone, held it in his hand, felt it carefully, and his expression changed.

"It seems that I can really absorb the contents. I can feel the supernatural power in my body stirring, and my instinct is also eager to absorb it."

Liang Yuan looked thoughtful and asked Lin Laodao, "Have you absorbed it?"

"Yes, I have. Not only me, but Deng Hu has absorbed even more."

"Since discovering this thing, Deng Hu has occupied several places where this thing grows. Now I only have a few left."

Liang Yuan's eyes flashed slightly. This thing must be related to superpowers.

Anything related to superpowers is definitely worth a lot of money.

You know, in the system lottery, whether it is a mutant fruit or a supernatural equipment, you need an absurdly high score to draw it.

He immediately said, "We'll take this too. We'll take as many as you have."
