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

Chapter 305 Extracting Goblin Fruit

Liang Yuan asked Ding Yan to search the shelter, but only found a few old people who had fished in wooden and iron boats when they were young.

Thinking of this, Liang Yuan returned to the floating bridge and boarded the ship. He saw Zhu Yuchuan, who was leaning on a crutch and arranging people to work.

Seeing Liang Yuan, Zhu Yuchuan hurriedly said, "Mr. Liang, good morning."

Liang Yuan smiled and nodded, then asked, "How is the situation with the ship?"

Zhu Yuchuan said quickly: "We are currently doing the rust removal work. I took a look and found that most of the rust was caused in the past six months. The ship should have been maintained before the flood, but it is a bit old."

"But now there is a very important issue that I need to report to you."

Liang Yuan asked: "What's the problem?"

"We don't have anti-corrosion paint." Zhu Yuchuan said with a frown.

Liang Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What kind of anti-corrosion paint?"

"When I worked on a ship, the hull would be regularly maintained and coated with resin paint to prevent corrosion. However, resin paint is not cheap and is not available in general places. At that time, most people bought it online or had a fixed shipyard do the maintenance."

"There's a huge flood right now, so I'm afraid it's going to be hard to find this kind of thing."

Liang Yuan frowned slightly. The anti-corrosion paint was a problem, but he relaxed his brows immediately.

Anti-corrosion coatings are difficult to find for others, but for yourself, it is actually not a big problem.

He has a system, so he can just conduct a targeted lottery.

"I'll figure out the anti-corrosion paint issue. Any other questions?"

"Well, Mr. Liang, it's not just about the anti-corrosion paint. Even if we find the anti-corrosion paint, we can't use it for the time being because of the continuous heavy rain. Even if we apply the paint, if we don't give the paint time to solidify and dry, it will easily be washed away by the rain."

Zhu Yuchuan was quite helpless and seemed to have a headache that he was at a loss as to what to do.

Liang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I'll figure out a way to deal with this. Let me first talk about the transformation of the freighter."

Zhu Yuchuan nodded and said, "According to your instructions, we have completely dismantled the original water dungeon, sealed the cabin below, and built a blockhouse on this foundation."

"According to the length of the cabin, the tower can be built to be 20 meters long. We also try to choose green fire bamboo, which is light and tough."

"We also raised the sides of the freighter accordingly and left some windows for combat."

Zhu Yuchuan introduced the general plan for the ship's transformation.

Liang Yuan’s request was to transform this freighter into an armed ship as much as possible.

So necessary defensive measures must be taken.

It also requires a certain level of attack capability.

Looking at the Flamingo that had undergone changes, Liang Yuan nodded slightly, quite satisfied.

"Okay, continue with the transformation. Tell me if you need anything."

"I'll find a way to solve the paint problem in the next few days."

Zhu Yuchuan immediately said: "Don't worry, Mr. Liang, I will definitely transform this ship into the most suitable one for Yangshan."

Liang Yuan smiled, gave a few more words of encouragement, then turned and left the freighter.

After this round of inspection, it was almost noon.

When Liang Yuan returned home, he saw Yang Mei had already gotten up and was busy preparing lunch in the kitchen.

Seeing Liang Yuan, she smiled and said, "Are you back? Are you hungry? Let's have lunch later."

Liang Yuan smiled and asked, "You're not hungry yet, have you had breakfast?"

"No, it was already 11 o'clock when I woke up, so I made lunch straight away. I have to go to the shopping mall to stock up in the afternoon. So many people came to Konka Garden again this time. Although their service period has not yet ended, some of them have come to the shopping mall to buy things after work."

"I guess the shopping mall will consume a large amount of supplies next. I have to do the accounting."

Liang Yuan kissed her and said, "It's so hard. You should train other people. You can make decisions on major matters and let others do the small things."

Yang Mei said helplessly: "Yuyan is the only one left at my place for now. You know her situation. It's often difficult for me to communicate with her."

After all, Yang Mei is not like Dong Yan, who has the ability of mental connection and cannot understand what the deaf-mute says.

Over such a long time, she and Lu Yuyan have gotten along well to a certain extent and can still communicate on simple matters.

But when it comes to things that are too professional, it becomes a bit difficult.

Then Dong Yan must be around.

Liang Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and the two-dimensional girl Lu Yuyan flashed through his mind, and then he thought of her father Lu Dayou.

Liang Yuan sighed in his heart, the scene of Lu Dayou kneeling on the ground and begging him was still vivid in his mind.

I also promised to help him take care of his daughter as much as possible.

Although Lu Yuyan works with Yangmei now, she is only helping her solve the problem of survival.

Her situation is rather special, which means she is destined to be unable to integrate into the masses and communicate with others.

Liang Yuan suddenly remembered the mutant fruit, the lantern persimmon, in his hand.

If Lu Yuyan were to take this fruit, she might awaken her special powers, which would most likely help her.

But if this is the case, then Old Ma...

Liang Yuan frowned slightly, a little hesitant.

Yang Mei reached out and gently stroked his brow, saying, "Okay, okay, I'm happy to have something to do. Otherwise, I'd be bored being alone at home all the time. You don't have to worry about me."

"Stop frowning and go to the living room to rest. I'll call you for dinner later."

She pushed Liang Yuan out and started busying herself in the kitchen.

Liang Yuan sat on the sofa, his thoughts turning.

He thought about it and simply opened the system lottery disk.

"System, how many points are needed to extract mutant fruits?"

"Ding, the quality of the mutant fruit is different, and the points required are different."

"Check the host's current points... Ding, the host's current points are enough to draw a 100,000-level green quality mutant fruit. Do you want to draw it?"

Liang Yuan was slightly stunned. The mutant fruits actually have different quality levels?

He quickly asked, "How many points are needed to reach the next level of green quality mutant fruit?"

"The next level is purple quality. To extract this quality mutant fruit, you need 500,000 points."

Liang Yuan's eyes flashed, and the system classified the mutant fruits into categories, including white quality, green quality, purple quality, etc.

I don’t know what the differences are between these mutant fruits of different qualities.

Liang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Take 100,000 points of green quality mutant fruit."

hum!
The next moment, the system interface continued to rotate, and soon, a mutant fruit appeared in the inventory.

"Congratulations to the host for extracting the mutant fruit [Goblin Fruit]!"

Liang Yuan's eyes flashed, and he immediately took out the [Gnome Fruit].

Suddenly, a khaki object appeared in Liang Yuan's hand.

This is something that looks like ginger, with tiny root-like substances on it.

It looks like the rhizome of some mutant creature.

Liang Yuan keenly felt the supernatural energy contained in it.

He quickly checked the properties of this [Gnome Fruit].

【Gnome Fruit】

Description: Fruit of the mutant plant Polygonum multiflorum
Quality: green

Attribute: earth

Note: The higher the quality, the fewer impurities there are, and it is easier to awaken advanced skills.

Liang Yuan's eyes lit up when he looked at the attribute description of [Gnome Fruit].

"It turns out that the Goblin Fruit is the fruit of a mutant Polygonum multiflorum. It turns out that the quality of this fruit is related to the awakened skills."

"Superpowers are divided into various attributes, but each attribute can awaken different skills."

Liang Yuan looked at the fruit thoughtfully, guessing in his heart that the ability awakened by this fruit must be of the earth attribute, but he didn't know what specific earth attribute skills it could awaken.

You know, there are also many skills with the same earth-attributed supernatural power.

For example, Yuan Rui's Earth Movement and his own Earth Escape, in fact, both seem to be Earth Movement techniques, but they are two different skills.

Yuan Rui's Earth Element can even inspire others to follow the Earth Element.

But my earth escape technique can only work on myself.

Relatively speaking, I have comprehended an earth-attributed skill, while Yuan Rui has awakened the earth-attributed supernatural power, and on the basis of the earth-attributed supernatural power, he has also awakened the earth-attributed skill.

And if he continues to explore his abilities in depth, he should be able to awaken more skills.

Liang Yuan looked at the fruit in his hand and thought that this fruit was suitable for Lao Ma.

Mr. Ma and Aunt Li are now assigned to work on the plantation.

Because he had to take care of Lao Ma's physical condition, Liang Yuan didn't give him too much work. But Lao Ma couldn't sit still, and he would go to the fields with his wife every day to tend to the vegetables.

Liang Yuan could see that Lao Ma also had a love for the land.

"This fruit is suitable for Lao Ma. The lantern persimmon was found in a spiritual mining area. It is most likely a spiritual fruit, which is suitable for Lu Yuyan."

Lu Yuyan is deaf-mute, and Liang Yuan doesn't know whether her deafness and muteness will be cured after taking the mutant fruit.

After all, deafness and dumbness are congenital diseases, not acquired ones, so it is hard to say that they can be recovered after taking the mutant fruit.

However, if Lu Yuyan could awaken her psychic abilities, she could use her mental power to replace her hearing and language abilities, and at least her life wouldn't be so hard.

And I have finally given an explanation to Lu Dayou.

As for Cai Zhi, Liang Yuan sighed and didn't think about it any further.

Cai Zhi's current living conditions are pretty good. He has a family to support, and after awakening his special powers, he has to participate in some missions.

Perhaps he was not necessarily willing to do so. Liang Yuan was also worried that if he regained power, his wife would become rebellious and fall into a vortex of power struggle.

After all, he and Cai Zhi's family were the first to form a team together.

If this happens, should I punish myself?

Forget it, just let them be ordinary people. At least in Yangshan, they will live well because of their old friendship.

Why must he awaken his superpowers?

Thinking of this, Liang Yuan put away the [Gnome Fruit] and looked at the points.

After consuming these 100,000 points, only more than 300,000 points were left.

Liang Yuan felt a little emotional. Points came quickly but were also consumed quickly.

"System, show all anti-corrosion coatings."

"Ding! Anti-corrosion coating is being displayed..."

Swipe up and a list of anti-corrosion coatings appears in the system interface.

The cheapest anti-corrosion paint can be redeemed with only ten points.

The most expensive anti-corrosion paint even requires tens of thousands of points!
The difference was so huge that Liang Yuan was surprised.

He first looked at the anti-corrosion paint that was worth 100,000 points.

"Why is the paint so expensive?"

【Thick build type synthetic variant fish glue coating】

Process: Synthesized from fish glue extracts from various mutant fish.

Effect: It has multiple functions such as super corrosion resistance and super defense.

Price: 1 points/kg
"Mutated fish glue extract?"

Liang Yuan was silent for a moment. This thing seemed very cool, but the price was indeed a bit expensive.

One kilogram costs 10,000 points. How many kilograms of paint does a ship need?
Liang Yuan looked up and saw other types of paint in the list.

The most common paint is tung oil, which can provide simple anti-corrosion effects after being applied, but the effect will not last long and it needs to be applied once every six months. The advantage is that it is cheap and 10 points can be exchanged for one ton.

Liang Yuan looked at the medium-priced paints, which included various new synthetic materials such as chlorinated rubber, ethylene, epoxy, and polyurethane.

This is also the most widely used anti-corrosion coating.

But the price is a little bit higher, 100 points per ton.

Liang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. The price was not expensive.

He thought about it and directly exchanged it for one ton.

Looking at the barrels of anti-corrosion paint in the inventory, he turned around and asked someone to deliver them to Zhu Yuchuan.

I spent another hundred points to exchange for quick-drying agent. After painting, I can spray the quick-drying agent on it and the paint will dry and solidify quickly without worrying about it being washed away by rain.

"It's time to eat, little brother."

Yang Mei's voice came from the kitchen. Liang Yuan collected his thoughts and went over to help serve the rice.

Even Dong Yan didn't come back for lunch, so it was just the two of them at home.

Yang Mei asked curiously, "Why didn't I see Dong Yan?"

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "She went to investigate the case."

"Ah? Investigating a case?" Yang Mei was stunned and asked quickly.

Liang Yuan told the story of Lin Laodao and Zhu Linlin.

Yang Mei sighed: "It's normal for an old man and a young wife to have conflicts, but it's wrong for Master Lin to hit people."

Liang Yuan sighed: "He is a superpower, I'm afraid his mentality is different from that of ordinary people now."

"This incident has reminded me that our shelter will develop faster and faster in the future, and internal supervision is indispensable. I will need to set up a supervision department to handle conflicts among the residents of the shelter."

Hearing this, Yang Mei nodded and said, "This is necessary. Now our lives in the shelter are getting better little by little, but there are always some trivial matters, and it is inevitable that everyone will have some quarrels. We really need a department to deal with these things."

"Do you have any good ideas?" Liang Yuan asked with a smile.

Yang Mei thought for a moment and said, "I feel Dong Yan is pretty good. Her mental connection ability allows her to communicate with people silently, which makes her suitable for this kind of thing."

"Also, Feifei's mental maze can be used to get the truth."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "If you want to know the truth, there is actually someone who is more suitable to do this."

Hearing this, Yang Mei asked in confusion, "Who is it?"

Liang Yuan said a name: "Zhuang Shuyuan."

Yang Mei paused for a moment, then continued to pick up food without making a sound, and asked, "Why is she suitable?"

"Her ability is similar to mind reading, and she can keenly perceive the other person's thoughts."

Yang Mei paused again, her eyes flickering slightly. No wonder she felt that every time she met that woman, although she was smiling, she still felt as if she could not hide anything from her.

It turns out that this is what that woman’s special ability is.

"What do you think?" Liang Yuan asked with a smile.

Yang Mei smiled at him and said, "Your vision will definitely not be wrong. Make up your mind."

Liang Yuan was surprised. He thought Yang Mei would strongly oppose it, but he didn't expect her to agree so easily.

"But I think Yanyan should actually go out and exercise. I think she can also go into the supervisory organization you organized to do some work." Yang Mei picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks for Liang Yuan and said with a smile.

Liang Yuan looked at her, Yang Mei's eyes slightly avoided and her face turned slightly red.

Liang Yuan then laughed, pinched her pretty face, and said, "I thought you weren't jealous at all."

Yang Mei pursed her lips: "I'm not doing this for you."

Liang Yuan sighed and said, "Sister Mei, don't think too much. I won't let anyone else live in this house."

Yang Mei was delighted, and looked at Liang Yuan, her beautiful eyes revealing true feelings. She reached out and hugged his neck, saying, "I believe you, little brother."

Liang Yuan's heart warmed slightly, he picked her up and walked into the house.

Yang Mei's face immediately turned red, and she said hurriedly: "Hey, let's eat."

"Let me eat two bites of the buns first!"

"ah--"

Yangmei's scream was immediately heard from inside the house.

-

“Beep—alarm, alarm! Experimental subject number sixty-three escaped from the cabin! Experimental subject number sixty-three escaped from the cabin!”

In an underground base, alarms continued to sound.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of armed men with live ammunition rushed out.

A middle-aged man in a white coat followed a group of uniformed troops.

The leading man in military uniform had a grim expression and was about thirty years old.

His face was gloomy, and he asked, "Dr. Xu, what's going on?"

The middle-aged man in a white coat at the side said anxiously, "Subject No. 63 lost vital signs during the experiment. We thought it was dead and were ready to dispose of it. Unexpectedly, it had the ability to fake its own death. While being transferred, it broke through the prison pod and escaped."

The man in military uniform had a gloomy expression on his face. He said, "Where is the data of Experiment No. 63? Bring it here so I can see it."

Dr. Xu quickly took out a stack of information and introduced: "Experimental subject No. 63 arrived at Guangfu Military Region half a month ago. He has a strong self-recovery ability and is initially identified as a physical ability user."

"He named this ability [Flesh and Blood Growth], but we prefer to call it [Super Self-Healing]. After our research, we found that we can extract super-active self-healing factors from his flesh and blood."

"CNE-132 is a super self-healing potion developed based on his super self-healing factor."

"This experimental subject has very high research value. Captain Wu, we must capture him." Dr. Xu said excitedly.

The officer looked at the photo and name of subject No. 63 on the file.

He narrowed his eyes slightly: "Wu Meng?"
