The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 227 Puppet Thread, and Rune Again!

Liang Yuan opened his eyes, and in his mind, his mental power transformed into miraculous invisible green threads, which penetrated into the body of the mutant cat and lifted it up into the void.

The spiritual force around is like a tide, substantial and has the power to interfere with reality, similar to the existence of telekinesis.

Liang Yuan subconsciously moved one of the green lines.

As he lifted it lightly, the mutant cat screamed, and one of its arms twisted in the opposite direction with a creaking sound!

Liang Yuan immediately understood that these silk threads were used to control its body.

They have invaded the mutant cat's nervous system and taken over its nerves.

Liang Yuan tried to pluck other silk threads with surprise.

The mutant cat immediately became like a puppet, allowing him to manipulate it by pulling the strings. It twisted and waved its body randomly in the air, even causing some body distortions that violated the laws of physics, and it actually followed suit.

Even though its arms were broken and its waist was sprained, it still tried its best to cooperate.

However, Liang Yuan discovered that when this mutant cat was in pain, its mental power would fluctuate greatly, and it seemed as if it was trying to break free from the control of the silk thread.

Liang Yuan understood: "So the stronger the opponent's mental power is, the stronger the resistance is, the more likely they are to struggle out of the control of the silk thread?"

He suddenly understood why he was able to escape from the big-headed doll and kill the other party.

My mental strength was not bad at that time, and I even had a certain ability to fight back.

Naturally, the other party cannot control himself to death from beginning to end.

And once he was able to break free from the control of the silk thread, even for only a second, he could use his enormous power attribute to kill the big-headed doll.

Liang Yuan glanced at his system panel and checked his skills column.

Sure enough, in the skill bar, behind [Spirit Turtle Cover], a new skill appeared!
And it's not a black and white skill, but one that emits green light!
【Puppet Thread】

Skill quality: Green
Skill requirements: Spirit 10 points, Constitution 10 points

Skill effect: Mental power condenses into a neural network, invades the enemy's nerve center, and manipulates the enemy's body.

Looking at the skill description, Liang Yuan couldn't help but have a sharp look in his eyes and let out a long breath.

A smile appeared on his face.

"So this skill is called [Puppet Thread]?"

“That’s a very apt description.”

"And the mental requirements are not high, only 10 points are enough."

"So, the Big Head Doll's mental strength may not have reached 35 points."

Liang Yuan has figured out the rules. Among all skills, the conditions for acquired comprehension and innate skills are different.

The skill of innate comprehension is the skill requirement attribute in the skill column.

If one wants to comprehend and replicate the skills in the skill beads, he will need to put in twice the mental effort.

In other words, the big-headed monster at that time only needed 10 points of mental strength and 10 points of physical fitness to use this terrible green skill.

However, if you want to comprehend green skills, you have to increase your mental power to 35 points.

Liang Yuan suddenly thought of a question: "So 25 points is the basic requirement for acquiring white skills, and 35 points is the threshold for acquiring green skills?"

Liang Yuan thought to himself, when he comprehended the mental shock, it didn't reach 25 points, right?

Is it that the mental shock is too weak? It doesn't take 25 points of mental power to comprehend it?

He touched his chin, feeling that there was something wrong with his speculation.

The threshold for each skill may not be the same.

He raised his hand slightly, and with a click, a green silk thread was pulled.

In an instant, the mutant wild cat's neck twisted into a strange angle.

In Liang Yuan's mental perception, all the threads suddenly lost their target and rolled back into his sea of ​​consciousness and were absorbed by the green rune.

At the same time, the body of the mutant wild cat fell into the leaves and mud with a plop, splashing up muddy water.

Liang Yuan heard a system notification sound in his mind, indicating that he had earned another points.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly and he smiled.

"The power of green skills is greater than I thought."

"And this skill should be a group control skill. It can't just target one target. It should be able to control any target within the range of mental power."

"It's just that the more targets you manipulate, the more mental energy you'll consume."

It's not that he was not in a hurry to travel at the moment. He just walked and stopped in the mountains and forests, hunting mutant beasts along the way.

He did not keep the corpses of these mutant beasts, but put them all into his inventory, ready to have someone deal with them when he returned, and store the meat for future trading.

That night, Liang Yuan killed no less than twenty mutant beasts and earned nearly five hundred points.

When we returned to the Fire Bamboo Forest, many people in the bamboo building were asleep.

There were only a few watchtowers with patrol personnel on duty.

"who!"

As soon as Liang Yuan entered the vicinity of the bamboo building, he was seen by the guard on duty, who immediately shouted at him.

Liang Yuan looked up and saw that it was Hu Weimin who was on duty today.

Hu Weimin was an ordinary person, and it was too dark, so of course he couldn't see Liang Yuan clearly.

"Lao Hu, it's me, Liang Yuan."

"Ah, Mr. Liang? You're back!"

This time, not only Hu Weimin exclaimed, but Wang An and others who were on duty and patrolling nearby also came over.

Liang Yuan greeted everyone with a smile. Zhao Kai heard the noise and ran out of the bamboo building.

"Brother Liang, why are you back? Have you seen Sister Ding and Doctor Yang?"

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "I saw it. I was worried about this place, so I asked them to stay there for one night and come back to report safety to everyone."

Zhao Kai smiled and said, "Wu Ying has come back to report that he is safe. Are all the superpowers in the mining shelter dead?"

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Well, Tian Wei went crazy and blew up a lot of mines. The psychics who were watching at the time didn't have time to run away and were all killed. Nothing happened here, right?"

"No, it's very quiet here."

"Okay, you guys continue patrolling, I'm going back."

"Hey, go ahead. Sister Mei has been asking you."

Liang Yuan smiled and quickly returned to his own cave in the bamboo house.

The stone door of the cave was closed, and a faint light was visible from the gap.

Liang Yuan patted the stone door: "Sister Mei, I'm back."

"Brother! It's you, brother. Are you back?" Sister Mei's surprised voice came immediately.

She hurried over, took a look through the air vent, and saw that it was Liang Yuan. She then quickly opened the heavy stone door.

Waves of heat rushed into the house, which was the warm sunlight radiating from the sunflower in the living room.

Not only Yang Mei came out to greet Liang Yuan, but also Song Wen and Dong Yan.

"Brother Liang, are you okay?"

"Brother Liang Yuan, have you seen Sister Ding Yan? They came to look for you."

Song Wen and Dong Yan asked hurriedly.

Yang Mei pulled Liang Yuan into the house and said, "Come in first, go home first. Have you eaten? I'll make you something to eat. Do you want to take a shower? You're all wet."

She asked Liang Yuan with concern, acting more and more like a good wife.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "I was just hungry, so I came back specially because I wanted to eat the dinner you made."

Yang Mei immediately smiled, and the affection in her eyes was overflowing.

Song Wen and Dong Yan looked at each other and moved aside tacitly.

Song Wen said, "Sister Mei, since Brother Liang is back, we won't stay here anymore."

Dong Yan also said, "Sister Mei, let's go back."

Yang Mei said quickly: "Hey, why go back? It's not like there are no empty rooms here. Just stay. I'll go cook two dishes and we can eat together."

"No, no, no, we've already eaten."

"Yeah, I'm not hungry."

The two of them quickly waved their hands to refuse.

Yang Mei said, "Today, your big brother Liang has conquered the mining area shelter. This is a great event. Why don't you celebrate for him?"

"Stop talking, come over here and help me."

The two girls looked at each other, their faces slightly reddened, and they subconsciously looked at Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Everyone stay."

The two girls then nodded with a smile.

While the three women were busy in the kitchen, Liang Yuan went outside and cut up the remaining meat of the pangolin, preparing to distribute some to the patrol members later.

"I wonder if there are any skill beads in this pangolin's head." Liang Yuan's heart moved slightly, and he thought of the pangolin's head, and immediately pried open the pangolin's skull.

However, there was no skill bead inside, but instead there was a skull with patterns on it!

"Hey, runes!"

Liang Yuan was suddenly delighted, he actually found a rune!
He quickly rinsed it with rain water and looked at the rune skull carefully.

This rune skull is about the same size as the previous rune skull, and has square patterns on it, like a piece of stone.

Liang Yuan's heart was slightly moved: "Could it be a defensive rune?"

Thinking of this, Liang Yuan suddenly became excited.

This pangolin can be considered a mutant beast with earth attribute. If it is still a defensive rune, then combined with the rune making techniques revealed by the official, wouldn’t I have a chance to make an earth attribute defensive rune?

"Digging a cave will inherently carry a certain risk of landslides. If we can use a defensive talisman to consolidate the excavated cave, we can ensure the safety of the cave."

"Besides, the sea tide is coming soon. I don't know if the ordinary stone gate can stop the mutant beasts that escape from the sea tide. If we can research the defensive talisman by then, it will be of great use."

Liang Yuan became excited and didn't bother to cut the meat. He just put the meat away, ran to the study and began to study the rune.

He already had the experience of making the Turtle Shield Rune once, so he was familiar with studying this rune.

The first thing to do is naturally to use mental power to simulate rune patterns.

I must first master the rune technique, then try drawing it, and then carving it.

But this is not something that can be achieved overnight.

Whether it was the Spirit Turtle Shield Rune or the Puppet Silk Thread Rune, he studied them for a long time before he was able to make them.

This requires practice over and over again.

"There are still two days before the tide arrives. I don't know if we can make it in time."

Liang Yuan quickly began to practice. Thanks to the improvement of his mental power, his ability to change and control his mental power reached a new level.

Half an hour later, there was a knock on the door by Yang Mei.

"Brother, it's time to eat."

Liang Yuan came back to his senses, put down his practice for the moment, and walked out.

Yangmei was wearing a loose apron, but it still couldn't cover her plump breasts.

"Why do you stay in the study as soon as you get back?"

"I'm studying runes. I just found a new rune."

Yang Mei smiled and looked back. While Song Wen and Dong Yan were not looking over here, she stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the face, saying, "Come and eat."

When I returned to the living room, I saw the table was already filled with dishes, including fish, meat, and both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.

Only Liang Yuan can afford such dishes.

I’m afraid none of the leaders of the other three camps can enjoy such a good meal.

Liang Yuan was really hungry. He had been fighting all day and had consumed a lot of energy.

After eating several bowls of food, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, then slowed down his pace and started chatting with the three women.

"So, this mining area will belong to you, Brother Liang, from now on?" Song Wen asked in surprise.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "I guess so, but mining the supernatural stone is quite troublesome and will require a lot of manpower. I have kept all the miners here. I will go there again tomorrow to deliver some supplies and may have to stay there for one night."

"By the way, have you figured out the list of exchangeable materials, ratios, and points conversion?"

"I will bring it over when the time comes and start implementing it at the mining area."

Song Wen and Dong Yan don’t understand these things. One of them is a host and the other is a student, so naturally they don’t know this.

Yang Mei does know a little bit about this. She studied accounting in college. Her aunt owns a factory. Before she got married, she worked as an accountant in her aunt's factory, so she knows something about this.

Yang Mei said: "I made a report, and I also made a rough idea of ​​the conversion of points."

"But we still need to examine the quantity of materials and the resources in Yangshan before deciding on the exchange ratio and pricing."

Liang Yuan understood that the mutant fish were easy to catch in Yangshan, as there were plenty of them in the flood waters below the mountain.

But red meat is not easy to get. After all, the mutant beasts in the mountains and forests are ferocious. If you are not a psychic, it is almost impossible to hunt a mutant beast.

This means that the price of red meat from mutant animals will not be low.

“All non-renewable resources are precious.”

"Especially modern resources, shoes, clothes, bed cabinets, etc., including electronic products and daily necessities."

"As for food, rice, flour, oil and grain are equally precious, but this is related to everyone's hope of survival. The price cannot be too high, but it cannot be too low either. After all, when there is no carbohydrate plant to replace rice and flour, people will eat a little bit, but less."

Yangmei spoke of these things with great eloquence.

Liang Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Seek out if there are any survivors who are professional in accounting. Then ask them to share some of the work with you."

Yang Mei nodded and said, "I thought of someone."

"Who?"

"Lu Yanran, do you still remember?"

Liang Yuan recalled and immediately remembered that this was Lu Dayou's daughter, a deaf-mute girl.

Thinking of Lu Dayou, Liang Yuan sighed inwardly.

Back then on Turtle Island, he rescued Lu Dayou and persuaded him to leave quickly.

However, the other party is determined to awaken his supernatural powers and find supernatural fruits so that he can take care of his deaf and mute daughter.

Later, the island fell silent and Lu Dayou did not return alive.

Liang Yuan couldn't help but ask, "What is Lu Yanran doing now? Does she have any trouble eating and drinking?"

Yang Mei said, "Don't worry, Lu Yanran is now with Dong Yan, following Wang An and Tang Ying to form a medical team, responsible for treatment and the like."

Liang Yuan looked at Dong Yan and asked, "Is she with you?"

Dong Yan quickly said, "Yes, she can't speak or hear. My special ability allows me to establish a mind connection, which can help her."

"But I just found out that she actually attends a school for the deaf and dumb, and is also studying accounting-related subjects."

"She told me that before the flood, her biggest wish was to open a small shop with her parents. Then she wouldn't have to worry about not being able to find a job or being discriminated against."

Speaking of this, Dong Yan's eyes also turned red, and she said: "She is so pitiful, how can there still be people who discriminate against her? Those people are so disgusting."

Song Wen patted her hands and said, "There are all kinds of people in this world. Fortunately, she met you, didn't she?"

Dong Yan nodded, feeling better.

Liang Yuan asked, "No one in the shelter bullies her, right?"

"No, I'm watching her. Uncle Wang An and Sister Tang Ying will also take care of her."

Liang Yuan nodded and sighed, "When her father was on the island, he begged me to take care of his daughter if he couldn't come back."

"I almost forgot about this matter. Fortunately, you are here."

Yang Mei comforted him, "It's not your fault. Since we came to the mountain, we have been busy with one thing after another. You are also very busy."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this. Since you said she is suitable, let her learn from you in the future."

Yang Mei nodded, then stood up and said with a smile: "I'll go clean up the dishes, you guys chat first, Song Wen, Dong Yan, don't go back at night, just sleep here."

Song Wen and Dong Yan waved their hands quickly. Song Wen's cheeks flushed as she thought of what happened at the waterfall today. She quickly said, "No, no, um, Sister Mei, we'll go back now."

She didn't even wait for Yangmei to say anything, she just got up and ran away.

Dong Yan also hurriedly followed, but she was not so anxious. Instead, she looked at Liang Yuan with some disappointment.

It seemed that if Liang Yuan asked her to stay a few times, she would stay.

Of course Liang Yuan would not try to keep her. This was happening in front of Yang Mei, and the relationship between an old couple could not be destroyed.

Yang Mei scolded, "Why are you just sitting there without saying a word?"

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "What did I say?"

"Keep someone here."

"No, I want to be alone with you tonight."

Yang Mei's face immediately turned red, and she waved her hands quickly: "No, I'm having my period."

Liang Yuan was stunned. No wonder she tried so hard to keep Song Wen. It turned out that she wanted to drag others into the water.

Liang Yuan was helpless and said, "It's okay. I'm not a cow. How can I do that every day?"

"You, born in the Year of the Ox, have endless energy." Yangmei laughed softly.

She had to bend over to clean up the dishes, otherwise she wouldn't be able to see the dishes in front of her.

Liang Yuan laughed and said, "If you hadn't had your period, you would have seen how hard I would have tortured you!"

Yang Mei laughed and said, "If you have the ability, go and deal with Song Wen tonight."

Liang Yuan laughed and helped her clean up.

After washing up, they went into the room to rest.

Yang Mei was pregnant today, she was not lying, so even though Liang Yuan was very angry, he found it difficult to relieve it.
