Star Rebirth: Kidnapping the Crazy Boss
Chapter 43 Roasted Sweet Potatoes
It was held in Kong Yu's palm, and he couldn't reach the energy plant that he had been longing for.
The thorns twisted the branches and began to struggle. The little red flowers on the top seemed to have suffered a great injustice and closed their buds.
"Xiaohua, stop moving."
Kong Yu casually gave his restless wood-type ability a name. When Xiao Hua heard Kong Yu's voice, she seemed to really understand it. She stopped twisting her body and then turned the flower towards Kong Yu. A tender branch pointed in the direction of Ganoderma lucidum, and the meaning of desire was self-evident.
Kong Yu felt pity for Xiaohua's aggrieved look. He hesitated for a moment, then reached out and handed the smallest Ganoderma lucidum to Xiaohua.
The next second, the closed flower bud opened with a bang and swallowed the Ganoderma lucidum, which was twice its size.
The little flower moved too quickly and Kong Yu was not prepared, and was suddenly frightened by the dense thorns in the flower.
Xiaohua got the Ganoderma lucidum she had been longing for, and without caring about anything else, she walked to the single sofa at the side with her big head and felt dizzy and didn't move.
Kong Yu looked at it for a while, but couldn't figure out what was wrong with his ability. In the end, he just ignored it. No matter whether this ability was mutated or what, as long as it didn't hurt himself or run out to hurt others, it was not a big deal.
After figuring this out, Kongyu started to open other express packages.
In addition to ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, this time we also received a few smaller boxes.
Kong Yu had just packed up the Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng when he received a message from 9798.
9798 was the mercenary who took on spare tasks on the dark web. "Boss, besides the two you need, I've also found a few more special plants this time. Take a look and see if you need any!"
Kongyu opened the remaining boxes, and a bunch of bright red fruits came into view. Kongyu took a quick look and saw that it was Sichuan peppercorns!
But this thing isn't a medicinal herb, and it doesn't seem to be of much use. Kong Yu picked up a bunch of Sichuan peppercorns and sniffed them closely. A strong, numbing aroma rushed straight into his nose, and he felt his hair stand on end. (When I was a kid, I'd go pick Sichuan peppercorns. My scalp would tingle just under the tree, and I'd be lazy after just a few tries.)
I haven’t figured out what use this thing has other than cooking, so Kongyu packed the things and threw them into the space button.
He casually opened another box and saw what was inside. The corners of Kongyu's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
A huge sweet potato, still covered in dirt, lay quietly in the box. Kong Yu felt that 9798 was truly a talent. He had found things that no one had discovered in the interstellar space for millions of years.
But looking at the sweet potatoes, Kong Yu remembered the roasted sweet potatoes sold on the streets in winter on Earth, which are very suitable for the ice and snow planet.
Looking at the roaring fireplace and thinking of the nutritional supplements of various flavors he had drunk in the past few days, Kongyu casually threw the sweet potato in his hand into the fireplace.
Life on the Ice and Snow Planet always gives me a feeling of emptiness. This is not an interstellar world with highly developed technology, but rather it feels like returning to the winter on ancient Earth.
Perhaps this is also an important reason why he chose to come here.
9798: "Boss, are those two plants useful?"
9798 Seeing that Kong Yu hadn't replied to my message for a long time, I scratched my head for a long time and finally couldn't help but send him a message. He is 25 years old, his parents died young, and he lives alone with his younger sister.
On weekdays, he would follow the mercenary team to hunt exotic beasts for a living, but this mission was very dangerous. Sometimes he would be out for ten days or half a month and might not get anything.
If he were alone, he would die if something happened to him, but his sister was still young, and if something happened to him, his sister would definitely not be able to survive alone.
Last time he took on a spare task on the dark web, he was also thinking of giving it a try, but he didn't expect to actually get the federal currency.
This gave 9798 hope. Although collecting plants would be threatened by strange beasts, it was much safer than facing them directly.
So 9798 decided to take the initiative and collect the plants he thought were useful and show them to Kongyu.
Today he kept his eyes on FedEx. After seeing the package was signed for, he kept waiting for a reply from Kongyu. However, Kongyu still didn't reply for a long time, which made him a little anxious.
Xiaoyu: "This is called sweet potato. If you have it, it's ten federal coins per pound. I want fifty pounds."
9798 on the opposite side jumped up excitedly. He had encountered this thing by chance when he was on a mission to hunt a giant porcupine last time. At that time, the wild boar and its cubs were gnawing on this thing. He paid attention to it and found that there were a lot of these things in that area.
Even if it's ten federal coins per pound, it's basically free money.
Thinking of this, 9798 was filled with energy. Thinking of the ginger from Xiaoyu's sponsor, he decided to set off into the woods right away.
...............
The sweet potatoes roasted very quickly. In less than half an hour, the whole house was filled with the unique aroma of roasted sweet potatoes. Kong Yu smelled the scent and felt that his taste buds, which had been poisoned by nutritional supplements for so long, could finally be released from prison.
After putting the roasted sweet potato into his mouth, Kong Yu was sure that it was just an ordinary sweet potato, no different from the sweet potatoes on Earth, and did not contain any special powers.
But as someone who has lived on Earth, who can refuse to stay in a warm house on a snowy day and eat a warm roasted sweet potato!
......
The next day, Kong Yu followed Uncle Wei to a residential area outside the Flame Army's military area.
The style here is completely different from the Snow Castle House. There are tall buildings everywhere, and there are small protective covers on the outside, which looks very safe.
The two just got off the aircraft
"Uncle Wei, this way!"
Kong Yu looked in the direction where the voice came from and saw a tall young man running towards him, waving his arms. He seemed to be very familiar with Uncle Wei.
Uncle Wei has poor legs and feet, so he needs to rely on a wheelchair robot when going out.
The young man ran over and greeted Uncle Wei first. When he looked at Kong Yu, a hint of shyness unconsciously appeared on his face, and he looked a little timid.
"Hello, I'm Li Fei. Are you the one Uncle Wei mentioned who wants to buy a house?"
"Yes, I'm free. I heard from Uncle Wei that your house is for sale, so I came to take a look..."
Hearing this, the young man gave Uncle Wei a look of gratitude. He watched the interaction between the two but didn't care much.
The Li family’s house is on the 32nd floor, in the last row on the east side of the community.
As I walked and observed, I once again gained a deep understanding of the small population of Ice and Snow Star. Even in such a safe community, there were few people.
The elevator went up and stopped at the 32nd floor. The door opened and a pretty woman with fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and a gentle temperament greeted them with a smile. Seeing Uncle Wei in the wheelchair, she said apologetically:
"I'm so sorry to have you make this trip for our business."
Wei Huai was in poor health and had difficulty walking, so he usually stayed in the Snow Castle and rarely came out unless something important happened. However, he made this trip in the cold weather because of the matter concerning the mother and daughter.
This made Li's mother feel very guilty!
