Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 346 The Secret of the Crooked House
On the way back, Zhou Yi asked about the origin of the two seeds.

“The seeds belong to my father.”

Tuozhu originally wanted to sit on the sofa, but after comparing its own size with the sofa, it finally chose to sit on the floor.

It said: "About sixty years ago, His Majesty the Black Emperor formed a pioneering group to explore other worlds."

"My father is a member of the pioneering team. His name is Takumi. He is a skywalker and made contributions when the country was founded. The pioneering team are all experienced warriors. Exploring a strange world is very risky."

"Wait a minute. As I recall, Skywalker can only enter other worlds through a space bubble by projection, right?"

Zhou Yi held the two seeds in his hand and asked, "How can the projection bring the things over there back?"

"You are right. But the Empire has a special device that allows Skywalker to cross the boundary as well. There are too few light cores in this world, and they are not restricted by the Empire at this level."

Takuzuki touched his ear and said, "I don't know the specific method. My father said it's a secret."

"The Empire allows members of the pioneering team to keep their own spoils, but they need to complete the basic tasks of the other world. I don't know what the tasks are. But since it's called a pioneering team, it should be to explore resources, map and record."

The panda man took the cup of iced black tea handed to him by Yuanxiao and smacked his lips after taking a sip.

"This is too sweet! Excessive intake of sugar can easily lead to obesity and aging!"

Zhou Yi couldn't help but look at its thick body.

"Don't look at me like this. I don't have a lot of body fat, not even among the Pandaren."

Tuozhu pinched his belly which had become a swimming ring: "I have a standard body shape among the pandas. We are born with a thick layer of fat and strong resistance to blows. I strictly control my calorie intake."

Fine.

Zhou Yi gestured to Yuan Xiao next to him: "Make it a cup of jasmine tea, the canned kind."

"Yes."

The angel of death quickly replaced the cup with a freshly brewed tea.

The old human's tea was recognized by the panda man, who sipped it slowly with a leisurely look.

"This tastes just right. Just right."

"continue."

"okay."

Holding the teacup, Tuozhu added, "The pioneer group launched two rounds of operations. My father went in the first round. After he came back, he was in bad shape and became demented. He is a little weak, but still alive."

"It's just the brain. It can't be cured at all."

Speaking of this, the panda man was a little sad: "What is it called? The doctor said it is A-something-something, also known as Alzheimer's disease."

“Alzheimer’s disease.”

"Yes! That's it. You know it too?"

Zhou Yi said, "This is a disease that existed during the Age of Gods. I saw it in the Dead Sea Scrolls."

"Anyway, it's this disease, it's so serious, no one can remember it. Heaven invited the best electromechanical doctor to come, but he couldn't cure it."

"The doctors diagnosed that the consciousness was severely damaged. In different worlds, the consciousness bodies operate according to different natural laws. These consciousness bodies follow certain rules to operate, although we don't know how they operate specifically..."

Takuzhu took a sip of tea and said, "As for consciousness, not much is known. Anyway, as long as it is not a light core body, the consciousness of one world will be squeezed and rejected when it is completely immersed in another world. My father suffered from this and became demented."

"Is your father's consciousness damaged?"

"Yeah. So they can't be cured. All the pioneers are like this, all lying in sanatoriums. They used to be very strong, but now they are drooling and rolling on the ground... Oh, every time I see them I feel sad."

The panda sighed.

Zhou Yi pondered for a moment.

He told the other party: "Taku, Sun Hao from our company is a healer among the angels of death, and can repair consciousness. If you are willing, you can bring your father over to try."

"Is this...really?"

The panda man suddenly perked up: "Is there really a way to cure it?"

"I can't guarantee that it can be cured, but it can certainly be repaired. I myself have been damaged and received treatment."

"How much does the treatment cost?"

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "If you join the company, it's free. Company employees have free medical benefits."

The panda man immediately raised his paw: "Join, join!"

"welcome."

Zhou Yi just did it casually.

Now he understands what the old people said in the past: rely on your parents at home and rely on your friends when you go out.

This is how Qin Xie, the Tianjin Knights, and United City all met and made friends.

If you can help, give a helping hand and make good connections.

Return to Sand Harbor.

Zhou Yi asked the red falcon to call Ni Ge from the Pan tree.

The Mud Tree Man held two seeds and checked them with the Exploration Vine: "This one is dead and cannot be planted."

He was talking about the seeds of the Pan tree.

"This blade grass seed is alive." Nige said, pointing to the second seed that was shaped like a mulberry.

"Blade grass?"

"It's a common grass in our area, growing on Pan trees and Dingtian trees."

Nige explained: "We improved the blade grass seeds, which cannot be grown in other places. It will grow a lot of grass, some of which will become as sharp as knives. It is a kind of cutting, drilling and engraving tool that we often use."

"We use the blade grass to carve clay tablets, chop wood, cut fruits, and clean up excess leaves. Sometimes when we encounter monsters, we also use the blade grass to cut meat and bones. It is very useful."

"The longer they grow, the more durable they are. They can be sharpened and grow a lot. One grass seed can grow a tree. We usually use several trees to grow blade grass. In terms of the growth cycle, it takes 7 or 8 purple days over there, but here, it may take one or two months."

The Mud Tree Man's knife is grown.

Zhou Yixin said, no wonder these two seeds have been preserved to this day.

The tree seeds are dead and cannot be planted, and without the tree seeds, the grass seeds have no foundation for growth and development. It is equivalent to that neither seed can be activated.

"Then plant this grass seed on the second Pan tree."

"Yes, Chairman."

……

the other side.

Arriving at Shagang, Tuozhu observed the environment and said, "Chairman, I want to build a curved house."

"The electric bulbs are really nice looking. Believe me, they can definitely add a lot of color to this place and are pleasing to the eyes."

The panda man raised his bear paw and pointed in all directions: "I see a lot of flowers, trees, and glowing mushrooms planted here. They surround the buildings and roads, which shows that you have requirements and aesthetics for the environment."

"Build a crooked house, it will definitely be something to see!"

"..."

Zhou Yi was helpless: "Tuozhu, you also know that the company is now under sanctions by the Mechanical and Electrical City Cluster. The overall environment is not good, and all parties are downgrading consumption. It is a waste for us to build infrastructure just for the sake of appearance."

"The Crooked House is not big! It's not expensive! It just requires a lot of glass and mirrors, and then we need to buy batteries from the Age of Gods."

The panda hesitated for a moment and said, "This is about a secret. You are very kind to me and are willing to help me save my father, so I will tell you."

It took out a piece of its own bamboo pole and took out a glass object from the bamboo tube.

“You see, this is the prototype of the Crooked House.”

Zhou Yi looked around.

It is a microscopic building made of glass, a curved house with twisted and folded body, like a house that is drunk and cannot stand steadily.

The glass house is completely transparent and has many mirrors inside.

Zhou Yi saw pairs of his own eyes appearing on the many mirrors inside, which was a somewhat weird scene.

"The Crooked House was given to me by a Bone Man two years ago."

Tuozhu said solemnly: "The bone man was sealed in a piece of complete crystal. I found that it was still alive, so I tried to take it out."

"After coming out, the bone man told me that it was a slave of a big shot. It was originally captured in a glass house, also known as the Crooked House. It said that the Crooked House can gather electricity and is specifically used to collect electric bulbs."

"If there are enough electric balls and they continue to gather, they will form a higher-level energy life form, the electric cat."

"The task of the skeleton is to raise electric cats."

Zhou Yi frowned when he heard this: "Have you confirmed the identity of the skeleton? Is what it said credible?"

"Confirmed."

The panda said, "Its name is Zema. It must have been true because it died soon after it came out of the crystal."

"What is a electric cat? Are there any records about it?"

“There is no record of that.”

Takuzuki shook his head: "So I am also quite nervous. I don't know how to raise an electric cat."

"I have built a curved house at home, but only the electric bulbs appeared, and there was no trace of electric cats. In fact, I am also worried that if I really raise one, I don't know how to take care of it."

"Zema said that electric cats do exist. They are different from electric gallbladders. Electric gallbladders will disappear, but electric cats will not. As long as there is a curved house as a container, they will exist in it for a long time."

"Electric cats can grow bigger and bigger, grow unlimitedly, and have many uses when they are full of electricity. However, because Zelma accidentally let a large electric cat escape, he was punished by his owner and locked in glass, becoming part of the Crooked House. He watched helplessly as the Crooked House shattered and broke down, and was buried underground."

Zhou Yi asked: "Where did you find Zema?"

"I bought it from a celestial merchant."

Takuzhu said: "The merchant said that Zema was dug out from the forbidden continent."

It's the forbidden continent again.

There are a lot of weird things in that place.

Zhou Yi thought for a moment.

"Then build a crooked house first, and I'll see what it's all about."

"Okay, Chairman!"

The pandas felt relieved.
