Doomsday B&B

After observing for two days and finding nothing particularly special about the town, Qi Yun decided to drive into it.

In the past two days, Nuan Nuan has earned some points by using the plants around the town, which makes her very happy.

After learning that they were about to enter the town, she thought for a moment and returned to the car, intending to go in with them. No matter where they were, she could use the teleportation function to return to the RV at any time because she had rented a room in the RV.

However, the teleportation function could only return her to the RV, not teleport her out of it. So she decided to go along. After all, she understood the principle of "a gamble can lead to a windfall." So she decided to go in, even if she didn't gain anything, she could still broaden her horizons. She had never seen a safer place than an RV.

When Luo Qiyun learned that she would soon be able to go home, her eyes lit up, and she bowed repeatedly to Qi Yun, but Qi Yun stopped her.

"Alright, if you break your back again, go sit down. You can stay in the passenger seat."

"Okay, I understand, thank you, boss."

Luo Qiyun happily walked into the driver's seat, sat in the passenger seat, and fastened her seatbelt.

Seeing the happy Luo Qiyun, Qi Yun turned around and called Jian Lei over:

"You'll be driving again in a bit. Just listen to Qiyun. Don't worry about safety. Just drive with confidence."

"Understood, boss, I get it."

"Okay, then go and get ready. Listen for the announcement on the radio later."

"Ok."

After agreeing, Jian Lei went to the driver's seat, sat down, fastened his seatbelt, and started the engine.

Qi Yun also notified everyone of their impending departure through the system. After Qi Huan and Jian Xinling got into the driver's seat and sat down, the loudspeaker in the RV started playing:

"The RV is about to enter the town;"

The RV is about to enter the town;

The RV is about to enter the town.

Countdown: 10, 9, 8... 3, 2, 1.

The broadcast stopped, and the RV started moving towards the entrance of the town.

Because the distance was not far, the RV entered the town in less than 3 minutes.

From the outside, you can still see the outline of the town, but once inside, all the buildings are covered with plants, as if you have entered a world of plants. However, since the plants grow around the various buildings, you can still vaguely make out the shapes of the houses.

Slowly, they entered the depths of the town. At Luo Qiyun's direction, they stopped the car in front of a particularly dense thicket of plants. After stopping, everyone heard Luo Qiyun say nostalgically:

"This is my family's old house. I grew up here. I only came back less often after I started working. Finally, I stayed here for a while because I was getting married."

"Shouldn't you be having the wedding at the groom's family home?"

“This is also his home. You see, that big house next door, the one that’s a bit bigger than mine, is his.”

Everyone's eyes followed the direction Luo Qiyun pointed and they indeed saw a larger house, with even more lush vegetation, like a natural forest.

"Alright, let's go down. There doesn't seem to be anything unusual so far, but we still need to be careful. Nuannuan, you stay with us for now. Once we're sure there's nothing unusual, you can start collecting things."

"Okay, Mr. Qi, I understand."

"Okay, let's get off the bus now."

"Got it, boss."

"Okay, boss."

……

After everyone responded, Qi Yun stepped forward, opened the car door, and got out of the car first. The others followed behind her and got out of the car in an orderly manner.

Qi Yun was at the very front, followed by Luo Qiyun and Jian Lei, then Jian Xinling, Wen Nuannuan, and Lao Yao, with the other four bringing up the rear.

Qi Yun walked at the front, holding a sickle in her hand, cutting down weeds and vines in front of her from time to time. And it has to be said, this sickle is really useful, especially suitable for clearing a path in this kind of environment.

Under Luo Qiyun's direction, they arrived at the main house of the residence. The door was wide open, and the inside was completely occupied by plants, which were far more lush than the outer courtyard.

This is when Tuantuan came out, and the first thing she said was:

There's something good here!

"round and round?"

"Yunyun, don't be angry. I haven't even started talking yet."

Haven't you noticed that the plants here grow much more lushly than elsewhere? And here, all the plants grow together regardless of season or region, and they're all in perfect harmony. That's the effect of that thing.

Moreover, although these plants are lush, they lack any awareness of becoming sentient; they are simply ordinary plants.

"That makes sense."

"Yes, and the entire town has been affected by her. The reason why those plants haven't mutated or become sentient is because of her suppression."

"So, can we find it?"

"Yes, and it's very easy to find. Just tell me what the plant is, and the closer you get, the denser and more diverse the plants will be."

You can start collecting plants now, Nuan Nuan. You don't need to follow them anymore. You're an outsider, and you won't benefit from it even if you find them. The only one who can benefit from this is Luo Qiyun.

Also, I suggest you buy a small hoe; plants have roots, and you can exchange them for a lot of points.

"Okay, thank you, Master Tuan Tuan. I'll go now and won't bother you any longer."

"Hehe, you're welcome. Go ahead, we'll continue going in, but you can stay on the outside."

"I understand, Lord Tuantuan."

Then, Nuan Nuan used the teleportation function to return to the RV, where she was going to retrieve the tools for harvesting plants.

After Nuannuan left, Tuantuan started urging the others:

"Hurry up, all of you! Don't use chopping. Lingling, use your plant space, and Qi Huan, use yours too. This is such a great opportunity! Jian Lei, hurry up too! Use your plant space to collect everything. Once we leave here, your plant spaces will be able to expand a lot."

"Ah, right, there are a lot of plant space blocks. Jian Lei, Ling'er, and Sister Qi Huan, the three of you walk side by side in the direction Tuan Tuan pointed out and collect plants."

Under Tuantuan's guidance, Jian Lei, Qi Huan, and Jian Xinling used the vegetation space to see a small tree hidden behind a lot of vegetation half an hour later.

This tree is only about 1 meter tall and as thick as a child's wrist. Surprisingly, the entire tree is milky white, even the few leaves on it are milky white, and the whole thing emits a faint fluorescence. If you didn't know better, you would think it was a piece of jade, and a particularly good one at that.

When Tuan Tuan saw the tree, it became instantly excited and started spinning around again until Qi Yun stopped it. The panda then remained clinging to the tree.

"Okay, okay, Tuantuan, stop spinning us around. You're making us all confused."

Upon hearing Qi Yun's voice, Tuan Tuan obediently stopped. However, even after stopping, the panda landed on a tree branch, hugged a twig, and closed its eyes in a daze.

Seeing this, Qi Yun, both amused and exasperated, gently pulled Tuan Tuan down from the branch, afraid of accidentally damaging the sapling.

Qi Yun first nudged Tuan Tuan awake, then asked it under the expectant gazes of everyone:

"Alright, Tuantuan, if you're still a bit confused, tell us what's so special about this tree."

"Actually, you can think of this tree like this: it's like the spiritual root or rare treasures you see in those cultivation novels. But it's different from those things because it appeared and grew because of this house, so only the bloodline of this house can recognize it as its master."

After acknowledging a master, both the person and the master will experience considerable benefits; the specific benefits will require the person to experience them for themselves.

"In that case, how do we recognize a master?"

"A drop of blood will suffice."

"Alright, Luo Qiyun, you may go."

"Okay, thank you boss, thank you Tuantuan."

"No need to thank me, no need to thank me, but after you acknowledge me as your master, could you give me a leaf? Just one leaf will do, it won't harm you or the sapling."

"Okay, I agree."

"Then hurry up and go. After you've dripped the blood, just sit under the tree."

After Luo Qiyun agreed to her request, Tuantuan eagerly handed Luo Qiyun a blood-drawing needle before sitting on Qiyun's shoulder, looking at Luo Qiyun with expectant eyes.

Luo Qiyun looked at the panda cub with starry eyes, and slowly walked towards the sapling, one step, two steps, three steps.

Luo Qiyun stood in front of the tree and, without hesitation, pricked her finger with a lancet. She gently pinched her finger, stretched her hand up to the top of the tree, and a drop of bright red blood dripped from her fingertip onto the tree.

As blood dripped from Luo Qiyun's fingertip, the entire tree was enveloped in a faint red glow. Seeing the red light appear, Tuantuan hurriedly urged Luo Qiyun:

"Hurry up, sit down quickly, turn your back to the tree trunk, and close your eyes."

Upon hearing Tuantuan's voice, Luo Qiyun quickly sat down under the tree, her body straight and her back pressed tightly against the trunk.

One minute later, the red light on the tree began to spread, until it enveloped Luo Qiyun as well. Then, the pale red light began to thicken until it turned into a blood-red sphere. If you didn't know beforehand, no one would have guessed that there was a person inside.

Seeing Luo Qiyun enveloped in red light, Qi Yun thought for a moment, then released a barrier to enclose Luo Qiyun, and said:

"Alright, you guys go and continue collecting plants. I'll just wait here for now. Anyway, all Luo Qiyun needs is this little tree."

"Yes, yes, you should go quickly. These plants will gradually lose their vitality and wither after the saplings are recognized as owners. It would be a waste if you didn't take them."

Tuantuan also chimed in for Qiyun.

So Jian Lei, Jian Xinling, and Qi Huan left together and went in a different direction to collect plants.

Seeing the three of them leave, Tuantuan grew a little bigger and said obsequiously to Qiyun:

"Yunyun, how about we have hot pot? Okay?"

"Can't you eat anytime?"

"But I lent you all my points before, so I don't have any points left to eat."

Hearing Tuantuan's plaintive voice, I thought for a moment and said to Tuantuan:

"I'll put you into my space. You can choose some food to put away, okay? But don't put too much."

"Sure, sure, how about I choose a two-week supply?"

"you sure?"

"So, that person has a big appetite!"

"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore, go ahead."

With a wave of her hand, Qi Yun put Tuan Tuan into her Spiritual Space.

After entering the Spirit Space, Tuantuan happily spun around. After a few spuns, it forced itself to stop to calm down. Then it shrunk itself and plunged into the food storage to start collecting food.

After collecting food from the warehouse, it flew to the nearby orchard. As it flew by, swathes of fruit disappeared from the trees. Just as Tuantuan was happily collecting, the surroundings suddenly changed, and it heard Qiyun's cool voice:

"That's a two-week supply? Hmm?"

It turned out that Qi Yun sensed Tuan Tuan's audacity and released it from the space.

Hearing Qi Yun's cool voice, Tuan Tuan trembled slightly. Then, it carefully grew to about half its height, slowly moving its two feet to sense Qi Yun's emotions. When it touched Qi Yun's calf, seeing that Qi Yun hadn't started to get angry yet, it quickly stretched out its two little paws, squatted down at Qi Yun's feet, hugged Qi Yun's calf, and began to whine sweetly:

"Waaah, I've calmed down for a moment, Yunyun, please don't be angry anymore."

Hmm? Don't be angry anymore, okay?

I promise I really won't do it again, so please forgive me, okay?

I really only accepted a tiny, tiny bit.

Feeling the soft, furry texture on her legs, Qi Yun's heart melted. But this time, she was determined to teach Tuan Tuan a lesson, so she forced herself to withdraw her hand from petting the panda and coldly uttered:

"Humph!"

Hearing that nasal sound, Tuantuan panicked instantly and hurriedly continued:

"How about I replant it for you? I'll go find other seeds and collect them all, and plant them all for you, okay? Just one acre."

The only response was silence.

Tuantuan panicked even more and started to escalate the situation:

"Two mu... three mu... four mu... ten mu... twenty mu... fifty mu at most, Yunyun, we really don't have that many seeds."

Hearing that Tuantuan's voice was already trembling with tears, Qiyun finally spoke:

"Have you learned your lesson this time?"

Upon hearing Qi Yun's voice, Tuan Tuan answered her question with delight:

"Remember, remember."

"Well, okay."

"I've got it. Those fifty acres?"

"What's wrong with fifty acres of land?"

"I will definitely cultivate those fifty acres of land well. Not only will I cultivate them well, but I will also take good care of them afterward. Yunyun, you can trust me."

"Okay, then go in and plant them now. I have some seeds in my space, you can plant them first."

"okay, I get it."

Hearing Tuantuan's voice, Qi Yun felt a moment of tenderness, but she held back. She knew that if she didn't teach Tuantuan a lesson this time, Tuantuan would definitely become more and more difficult to manage in the future.
