In this post-apocalyptic world, I unexpectedly became a star galaxy master.

That night, Hongtang had another nightmare.

This time, it was Hago who turned into a monster. Its sharp claws were pressing against her chest, its nails digging deep into her flesh, its eyes staring fiercely at her, chewing on the flesh and blood torn from her shoulder, splattering blood all over her face.

"Ah... Brother Ha~" Hong Tang woke up from a nightmare and opened her eyes to find Brother Ha stepping on her.

A man and a cat stared at each other.

After a moment of stunned silence, Ha Ge resumed chewing.

Hongtang said helplessly, "Brother Ha, what are you eating so early in the morning?" The scene in the dream was somewhat similar to reality. Could Brother Ha have actually bitten a piece of her flesh while she was sleeping?

Turn Hago's head around, pry open its mouth, and a dark brown worm falls onto Hongtang.

That's half a cockroach corpse!

"Ugh~" Hongtang was so disgusted that she almost vomited on the spot, and threw Ha Ge off the bed.

Hongtang reached out as if to scold Ha Ge, "Ha Ge, you're not allowed to eat that disgusting stuff... Ouch, that hurts." As she moved, she suddenly felt a piercing pain in her right shoulder.

Looking down, lo and behold, there was a tick clinging to my right shoulder!

The little insect had clearly been saturated with blood; most of its round, dark red body was already embedded in the skin.

Hongtang felt a chill run down her spine and her scalp tingle.

She had seen a lot of news about this kind of insect before and knew how dangerous it was. She was determined not to let its entire body burrow into her skin!

In a moment of panic, he actually tried to pull it out with his bare hands. As a result, the insect broke off, but its head remained stuck in his shoulder.

Hongtang was exasperated. She had been too hasty. She clearly had fire energy, so why didn't she use fire to burn it out?

A small flame emerged from her left fingertip, which Hongtang controlled to burn the wound on her right shoulder. But soon she could smell the aroma of roasting flesh.

"Hiss, this is too hot." The small flame, about the thickness of a finger, turned into a thin line of fire, and the heat decreased significantly.

Hongtang can now not only control the amount of fire energy, but also adjust its temperature.

But this time, apart from the wound becoming darker and more painful, it was all for naught.

Hongtang frowned. If fire doesn't work, try ice spikes, no, ice needles.

We must pick out those disgusting bugs no matter what.

A few minutes later, besides a bloody mess on his shoulder, the tick's head was still embedded in the flesh.

Hongtang's mouth twitched in pain as she gritted her teeth and muttered to herself, "It seems the only option is to use a scalpel to remove this small piece of flesh."

She retrieved disinfectant alcohol, tweezers, a scalpel, disposable surgical gloves, and other supplies from her storage space. After cleaning the wound, Hongtang held the scalpel and pressed it against the wound, remaining motionless for a long time.

She closed her eyes, mentally preparing herself: "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid. It'll only hurt for a moment. After this moment, it won't hurt anymore." o(╥﹏╥)o

So why is she suffering like this? Where did these nasty bugs come from? I didn't see them when I took a shower last night.

Unbeknownst to Hongtang, a pale green energy was emanating from her palm, completely enveloping the wound. Meanwhile, the tick's head was being expelled.

"What, what's going on?" The worm that had pierced into the flesh had actually come out on its own. It was still half-dead even though it was still alive. How could it be so resilient?

Hongtang was extremely surprised to see this.

"Host, your wood energy has mutated and developed a healing function, and it's quite powerful," the younger sister explained promptly. "Host, quickly release your wood energy, and be careful to control its color. The previous growth-inducing effect was emerald green, this healing effect is light green."

Is that even possible? Okay.

Using the energy of wood, Hongtang attempted to control its color and then applied it to her wound. Sure enough, the insect completely retreated, and the wound visibly healed.

"Amazing!" Overwhelmed with shock, Hongtang could only utter a bird-like exclamation.

He also reasonably guessed that the reason his forehead injury healed so quickly last time was because it activated the healing function of the wood energy. He just hadn't realized it at the time.

Now that we have healing abilities, we won't have to worry about getting sick or injured in the future.

But then she thought of something else, "But the wood energy on the space energy stone was dark green before, how did it differentiate into light green and emerald green after I fused with it?"

"Is it possible that the host's wood energy will continue to mutate and develop new functions?" the younger sister asked rhetorically. Wood energy is the most mutable of all natural energies, as it had told the host.

"Shall I give it a try?" Hongtang asked, somewhat uncertain.

She took out a few seeds from her spatial storage and activated the wood energy.

The first color released is emerald green, which promotes growth.

Soon the seed began to sprout, take root, grow leaves, and bloom. It was a dandelion.

Hongtang plucked off half a leaf and released pale green wood energy onto the injured leaf. The injured leaf quickly recovered.

Sister: As expected of the host, I originally thought that the healing function mutated from wood energy, like normal healing energy, could only be used on humans and animals. It turns out it can also heal plants; how come it didn't think of that?

Hongtang was overjoyed. "It's done. Let's try the next one." She thought of the dark green color on the space energy stone and was eager to know what kind of function it had.

However, the wood energy that appeared in his hand was dark green, not blackish green.

Hongtang frowned slightly, then cheered up. It seemed that dark green was also a kind of mutated energy. If we also consider dark green and light wood energy, then she would have four mutated functions. She really hit the jackpot!

When the energy of dark green wood is applied to a newly sprouted dandelion, it withers and dies within a breath, crumbling into dust at the slightest touch.

"What is this, destruction?"

"Meow~ Meow~" Ha Ge brought up a large winged ant in his mouth and placed the flying ant in front of Hong Tang as if to show off.

It looked as if it was saying: "Daddy, this is the prey I caught for you. It's delicious, eat it!"

Ha Ge: Silly woman, look how amazing I am! I even caught such a flying bug! I'm just showing it to you, don't you dare steal any!

Hongtang sighed, "How could I forget this rebellious son?!"

I was suffering, and all it did was "crunch" beside me, completely oblivious to my plight.

Hmph, let you eat it, you'll eat ashes!

A beam of dark green wood energy struck the fat flying ant. The struggling insect instantly died.

Looking at the empty shells of the flying ants, Hongtang suddenly realized, "So the dark green wood energy devours life force and flesh, haha, not bad, not bad."

Ha Ge: "...Meow!" Where are my little snacks?

"Sister, I got bitten by a bug, why didn't you tell me? And how did so many bugs get into this house?"

Sister: "......" I never expected that this fragile little bug would pose a threat to the host.

[Host, if there's a next time, I'll remind you.] The host didn't give any orders, and it didn't know what to do; it was just an emotionless system.

Hongtang: This kind of thing can't happen again...
