[Psychic Energy Water]

[External injury treatment (biological): Weak]

[Internal injury treatment (biological): Mild]

[First Special Ability: Long-term usage has a certain chance of stimulating changes in the organism’s genetic chain.]

[Second Special Ability: The absorption of psychic energy has different effects on different creatures. Slightly increases the evolution speed of wasteland creatures.]

[Caution: Stimulating changes to the organism’s genetic chain might not necessarily produce positive effects. Please employ a small-scale patch test on the organism’s skin and increase the dosage only after confirming the effect. Do not be reckless or the consequences might be disastrous.]

[Comment: A mysterious ‘Pandora’s Box’. Continuous upgrades might attract the attention of certain existences.]

“Sure enough, psychic energy is inseparable from dark energy. According to the research on Earth, dark energy is a key. Before actually opening the door, no one knows what kinds of surprises lie behind the door it opens.”

“However, according to the system’s comment, upgrading it may attract the prying eyes of certain interested parties.”

After looking at the properties of the psychic energy water displayed by the system panel, and staring at the term ‘certain existences’ for several seconds, Su Mo’s mind churned before he put the thought behind him.

At present, the upgrade of the psychic energy water had reached another bottleneck. The next upgrade would require 100,000 points. In addition to the quality upgrade, the survival points required for the two upgrades were simply an astronomical number.

Perhaps by the time he managed to save up enough survival points and needed to upgrade the psychic energy water again, these unknown existences would no longer pose a problem.

Fiddling around, he took out a liter of ordinary psychic energy water and poured out another liter of enhanced psychic energy water. When Su Mo returned to the first floor, the nimble Moore had already cleared out a large area.

Numerous miserable-looking source energy fruit tree saplings were strewn on the ground, placed aside by Oreo who had carried them over with her mouth.

“Hey, good girl!”

Su Mo stroked Oreo on the head and praised Moore. Looking at the pleased expressions on the faces of the two little ones, Su Mo smiled lightly and came to the previously planned reserved land.

There were only ten source energy fruit trees left and they were located directly opposite the main entrance of the Underground Shelter.

The fruit trees were sparsely scattered; each tree about a distance of seven or eight meters apart.

If the flood passed through, the fruit trees could still be saved. After careful nurturing, perhaps a nice park could be developed in the future.

Su Mo found the sturdiest and tallest fruit tree sapling, took out the psychic energy water, and poured it over the sapling.

When the first drop of psychic energy water touched the roots of the tree, a magical scene occurred.

After contact, the psychic energy water that should have flowed along the tree trunk and into the ground was directly absorbed instead.

Moreover, a shallow and almost invisible blue streak also appeared on the trunk.

Su Mo summoned the system to evaluate the tree. This time, although the source energy fruit tree was not uprooted, a small progress bar had appeared in the system panel.

“100ml equates to 1% on the progress bar, which means it takes ten liters of psychic energy water a day to irrigate a tree. This must be done continuously for three days in order for it to reach the third stage where the fruit can replace the upgrade functions of a damaged shelter core.”

“I have ten trees remaining so, if I want to fulfill the requirements over the course of these three days, I need 300 liters of water.”

After the greedy tree trunk absorbed the nutrients from one liter of psychic energy water, the blue streak had almost turned solid, flickering as if it had come alive.

He tried taking out the enhanced psychic energy water and poured 100ml over it, resulting in a greater increase in the progress bar; 100ml was enough to increase the progress bar by 5%.

“It seems impossible for all ten trees to reach stage 3. Given the current supply of psychic energy water in the shelter, the maximum is eight!”

That was the accumulated amount after one month, excluding the amount used in the Underground Shelter for daily drinking and activities of the one adult and four little ones. For other activities and purposes, snow water was used.

The current inventory of psychic energy water in the shelter was only 182 liters!

Over the course of the first two days, eight trees would require 160 liters, with a balance of 22 liters. On the final day, 21 liters of psychic energy water could be collected, which was just enough for the consumption of eight trees.

As for any excess, it could either be accumulated or poured over the remaining two trees to advance them to the first or second stages of the fruit.

He carried out his plan in line with the concept of out with the old and in with the new, pouring the 80 liters of psychic energy water over the tree saplings to fulfil the first day’s demand for water and irrigation.

Now that they had been given sufficient nutrition, coupled with the 1000 times growth rate of a rare-quality plant, when everything was completed, the thinnest of the eight source energy fruit tree trunks was already as thick as an arm, and the shortest was already more than two meters tall.

After one night of hard work, Su Mo looked at the time and found that it was already 3 in the morning. Feeling that he could still persist physically and mentally, Su Mo simply continued to sit in front of the workbench to build the second rotary tiller.

With the experience of the first, the production of the second one went off without a hitch. After a little more than an hour, the shell structure and blade shaft were completed.

Another 2800 survival points were spent just like that in exchange for the completion of the second rotary tiller.

At this point, the last machine required to maximize the harvest from the welfare disaster was the flour grinder!

After gritting his teeth and drinking two mouthfuls of psychic energy water to relieve his mental fatigue, Su Mo continued sitting in front of the workbench and focused on the production process.

Hundreds of people in the Candlelight Shelter were still waiting for the machines. Countless crops that had not been planted were in urgent need of the machinery to assist in the planting process.

His persistence now would earn him one or two years worth of food supplies on the wasteland!

Under the light, as the screeching sound of the cutting wheel on the workbench became wilder and wilder, time also passed one second at a time.

The clock hanging in the living room ticked on and the hour hand on the clock moved forward at a steady pace.

On this extraordinary day, no one was destined to sleep tonight!

With a shift of perspective, looking down from the sky on the wasteland that should have been dark at night, scattered fires could be seen all over the place at this time.

Next to these fires, plants thrived. Accompanied with cheers from time to time, bundles of crops were being transported from the fields.

Even the lone wolf shelters were in ecstasy at this time.

As long as anyone had hands and a piece of cleared land…

Harvest was the main theme of this night!

Sweat was also the best audience to witness the efforts of all humankind during this welfare disaster.

Excellent-quality seeds germinated extremely quickly. From sowing to harvesting, the entire process would take just over four hours!

In the dark night, the lingering fragrance of wheat completely filled the nostrils of every refugee in the Candlelight Shelter…

And this was just the beginning!

At this point, people who possessed workbenches in the wasteland had already reached a certain number. Although these people could not produce high-quality products like Su Mo due to quality limitations of the workbench, by relying on the craftsmanship enhancement function, a good-quality tool could occasionally be produced.

After harvesting the first cycle of crops, Chen Shen immediately decided that each person should set aside one liang of seeds, and then he purchased 130 good-quality sickles from the market.

The properties of the sickle were very simple, possessing only +3 sharpness bonus when harvesting crops, but this special attribute was completely sufficient for the purposes of harvesting spring wheat!

The big picture could be discerned from the small details. When the first batch of mature excellent-quality seeds from the Candlelight Shelter entered the market, the seeds that were sold from Su Mo’s large-scale transactions in the market back then also began to circulate at this time.

As long as everyone could buy 20 or 30 excellent-quality seeds, a good harvest of excellent-quality plants could be obtained four hours later.

Then, after four hours, enough seeds could be harvested to sow one mu of land.

The initial 1000 people sold 10000 seeds. After four hours, this 10000 would become 100000.

After another four hours, it would become a million!

In just one day, as long as the market was still there, more and more people would come into possession of excellent-quality spring wheat seeds.

Traditional seeds were completely abandoned by the market after most of the accounts were settled on the World Channel.

Not to mention five or ten times the price, even at half the previous price, no one would care for it.

Subsequently, the entire market would be quickly revitalized by the excellent-quality spring wheat seeds. More good things would circulate, and the combat strength of the humans on the wasteland would gradually become stronger, suppressing the foreign races!

Of course, this scene was already part of Su Mo’s plan.

With a tool like the trading market, with its inherent advantages, the speed of such transactions and their proliferation would far exceed the models constructed by those so-called economists.

The instant delivery process meant that as long as a small butterfly flapped its wings, a terrible storm could be set off.

As the initiator, when the clock struck six o’clock on the game panel, Su Mo finally completed the production of the last flour grinder on the workbench.

“Phew, I’ve built the main body of the machine and the parts that can be made according to the blueprint design.”

“As for the subsequent circuit boards and programs, I can only rely on the system to implement them before finding a computer!”

After wiping the sweat from his forehead and drinking a big sip of water to invigorate himself, Su Mo slowly stood up.

The barrier holding back the progress of his technology advancement would have to be broken sooner or later. The opportunity to find a computer lay in the next appearance of the Liangfang Town ruins!

As long as he could get in, with his current combat capabilities, clearing Liangfang Town was not a problem at all. Perhaps then he could find a computer!

Fortunately, some scrap parts of the circuit board, as well as some small odds and ends and materials were provided. The flour grinder did not cost much and the upgrade was completed at the cost of only 800 survival points.

As long as the generator was connected, the process of turning spring wheat into flour could be carried out immediately.

After checking and cleaning up, by the time Su Mo dismantled the main body of the flour grinder that had been connected into three parts and placed it into the storage space of Earth Tiger, the sun had also risen, bringing long-lost warmth to the refugees who had worked hard in the wasteland all night.

In the Underground Shelter, apart from Moore, who could not bear with it after working all the way into the second half of the night and had fallen asleep on the floor, Oreo, Big Spark, and Little Spark were sprawled in front of the gate dutifully, guarding the source energy fruit trees that were growing sturdily in front of the gate.

Glancing at the tallest fruit tree that was now already five meters high, and the sky of the wasteland, Su Mo flexed his arms, walked back to the third floor, and laid on the small bed.

Whether on Earth or in the wasteland, good sleep was the best way to ensure one’s combat readiness.

The more excited one became, the more one had to be alert to the dangers that might occur on the wasteland!

He took out the Mountain and Sea Painting Scroll card to restore his lost energy and drank some enhanced psychic energy water to recover from his state of mental fatigue.

In three to five minutes, Su Mo had entered a deep sleep, lightly snoring.

With no one to disturb him, the recovery of energy and from mental fatigue occurred extremely rapidly.

With his enhanced physique, after only two hours of rest, as the ear-piercing alarm of the old phone rang out, Su Mo, who was lying on the bed, sat up directly with a glint in his eyes.

“After preparing for this disaster for so long, it’s finally time to reap the rewards!”
