Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 76 Li Mu's Strategy

Seeing this, Yu Shuaikang smiled and called on the hunting team members behind him to start distributing cherry tomatoes to everyone.

Once someone takes the first step, things will become much easier.

Everyone in Wanling City immediately dispersed, trying to distribute the cherry tomatoes to everyone as quickly as possible.

While Shuai Kang and others were busy below, Tang Anguo on the city wall could not help wondering in his heart, so he turned to look at Li Mu and asked,

"City Lord Li, does this Saint really have the effect of keeping warm and warding off the cold?"

Li Mu had no expression on his face and replied calmly,
"Of course it's true. Do you think I'm deceiving these people?"

Tang Anguo scratched his head, "I've never heard of cherry tomatoes being able to keep warm, and I've never seen the other two city lords bring them to the shelter for trading before."

Li Mu turned around and smiled at Tang Anguo.

“This cherry tomato is my latest invention, so Captain Tang has naturally never heard of it.

In addition to these cherry tomatoes that can keep you warm and protect you from the cold, Wanling City also has many plants with special functions, such as the morning glory I just used. Captain Tang has never heard of it before, right? "

Tang Anguo had been very curious about the loudspeaker-like thing that Li Mu was holding, but he didn't have the courage to ask. Now that Li Mu happened to mention it, he took the opportunity to ask again.

"morning glory?"

"Is that the loud speaker-like thing you were holding just now?

That’s actually a plant too!”

Li Mu first confirmed Tang Anguo's doubts, "Yes, morning glory is also a plant. Its function is to record and amplify sound, which has the same function as the old electric trumpet."

After a pause, Li Mu continued, "However, the electric horns in the past were driven by electricity, while the morning glory relies on source energy."

"It can be directly supplied with energy by humans, or a mutant beast crystal core can be inserted into it, just like installing a battery in the past."

After hearing Li Mu's explanation, Tang Anguo couldn't help but speculate, "It seems that these two plants were transformed by Li Mu. They are both awakened, so why is there such a big difference?"

Although he felt helpless, what Tang Anguo was concerned about at the moment was: If the shelter could also have these two plants, it would be much more convenient to go out and give warnings in the future.

After thinking for a while, he first bowed to Li Mu, then asked respectfully,

"I wonder if Wanling City can also include these two plants in its trading commodities in the future?"

Hearing Tang Anguo's question, Li Mu's mouth corners slightly raised. He was waiting for this sentence!

Otherwise, why would he explain the effects of cherry tomatoes and morning glories so clearly?
The reason why I'm talking so much is to make the shelter beg to trade with me.

After all, Wanling City was established not long ago, and in many aspects it cannot compare with the West Lake Shelter, a force established by the government. There are many things to be traded with the other party.

For example, the news from the central government and the previous satellite call. He was just an ordinary person before the end of the world and had no access to these.

For Li Mu, it is very cost-effective to exchange the plants he modified for similar information. After all, as long as he has enough source energy, he can have as many of these plants as he wants.

Facing Tang Anguo, who might be a big customer in the future, Li Mu replied in a gentle tone,
“Cherry tomatoes and morning glories will be traded later.

Moreover, there are more than just these two plants in Wanling City. There are many plants with special functions, which will be brought out one by one in the future. "Tang Anguo got the answer he wanted, his eyes lit up, and he was about to say something else, but was interrupted by Yao Chengcheng who returned to the city wall.

At this time, Yao Chengcheng was holding the basket of cherry tomatoes in his hand and walked briskly to Li Mu.

"The five cherry tomatoes per person have been distributed, but there are still some left in the basket. Shall we set off now?"

Li Mu took the basket and nodded, "You go and lead the transfer team out of the city first, I will come later."

Upon hearing this, Yao Chengcheng turned around and walked down the city wall, while Li Mu took out three cherry tomatoes from the basket and handed them to Tang Anguo, saying with a smile,

"Captain Tang, why don't you try the warming effect of this fruit first? That way you can know that what I said is true."

"City Lord Li, you are joking. I believe what you say."

Tang Anguo felt a little embarrassed, and then continued,

"But I really want to taste cherry tomatoes. To be honest, I haven't eaten them in a long time."

As he spoke, he took the cherry tomato, threw it into his mouth, moved his mouth a few times and swallowed it three times, then said: "It tastes really good!"

Li Mu couldn't help showing a strange expression when he saw this, thinking in his heart: "If you want to try the effect, just say it directly. Why don't you say it has been a long time? Look at you chewing peony like a cow, you can't even lie..."

"Just consider it as a small thank you gift. There are about a hundred or so left in this basket. Give them all to Captain Tang."

Tang Anguo was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help but smile like a chrysanthemum, rubbed his hands politely,
"Oh, this is so embarrassing!"

Li Mu knew that Tang Anguo was pretending to be polite, but he couldn't help but tease him, "If Captain Tang doesn't want it, forget it. I'll take it back."

"Ah I……"

Tang Anguo was shocked when he heard this. Just when he was about to explain, he saw Li Mu had already handed the basket to him. Only then did he realize that Li Mu was just joking.

Realizing this, Tang Anguo's face turned red at first, but he still took the basket awkwardly and then stopped talking.

Li Mu gave away these cherry tomatoes on a whim, because he didn't know how many were left before. Now that there were not many left, he might as well give them to Tang Anguo as a favor.

Based on Li Mu's understanding of Tang Anguo, he would definitely not keep these cherry tomatoes for himself, but would definitely give them to the higher-ups in the shelter.

In this way, people in the shelter can actually experience the specific effects of cherry tomatoes, making it easier to do transactions in the future.

As for whether the shelter would try to plant the seeds from the cherry tomatoes, Li Mu was not worried about it.

All the mother plants that can be planted are in his laboratory, and all the plants that appear in the outside world have had their reproductive functions erased by him during the transformation.

If he didn't do this, the plants he took out would continue to reproduce, so what would he have to trade with others in the future?
While Li Mu and Tang Anguo were talking, Yao Chengcheng and others had already led the transfer team to an open space outside the shelter.

Seeing that the transfer team had already arrived outside the city, Li Mu had no intention of continuing the conversation, and immediately asked Tang Anguo, "Captain Tang, I'm ready to set off. Has your team assembled?"

"Alright, alright, as long as City Lord Li gives the order, we can set off at any time."

Li Mu nodded slightly, then grabbed the vines on the giant war tree and took three or two steps to reach the top of the tree man again.
