Chapter 613 Leaving
Does having a brain mean you're not easy to deal with?
They need to use their brains more.

Perhaps it was the overwhelming force of the hundreds of people that made the pine forest sense the danger.

They adopted a defensive posture, and all the pine trees hid their pine cones.

The branches intertwined, forming a dense net, before Lu Li and the others could get close.

Sharp needles shot at them in such numbers that it was like a torrential downpour, leaving them no way to avoid them.

But this attack couldn't harm them.

The guards took care of everything without Lu Li and the others even having to lift a finger.

Wave after wave of pine needle rain came, along with one large net after another.

But everyone walked over, stepping on the pine needles scattered on the ground.

Before Lu Li and the others arrived at the pine forest, the base commander gave an order.

The guards used all their skills to attack the pine tree.

Fire-type ability users simply burn it with fire, since wood is most afraid of fire.

Lightning-type ability users can use lightning to strike, or combine with water-type ability users to conduct electricity while releasing water.

There are also chestnut-wielding ability users who launch chestnuts with thorns that stick into tree trunks, causing the pine trees to howl in pain.

Not only that, after falling on a tree, it will release special toxins that enter the tree's interior.

Disintegrate from within.

Lu Li, being a wood-type ability user, also joined in the fun, releasing plants to fight the pine trees.

Those with a lot of strength would take a chainsaw and start sawing, making a loud sizzling sound.

The scene was mixed.

These pine trees are like they've come to life; they even grew legs and tried to run away.

But Shen Bing, Luo Mu, Zong Xia, Sheng Xian, Wang Yang, and Chu Lisheng kept watch all around, not letting a single one slip through the net.

After a chaotic battle, humanity successfully resolved the pine forest issue.

That's how it appears on the surface, but the base commander wasn't reassured and sent the guards to dig three feet into the ground.

Don't let any roots go untouched. What if it revives but Boss Lu is gone? Who will he turn to for help?
Lu Li and the others did not participate in the subsequent cleanup work.

After all that commotion, it was already 4 PM, and everyone went back to their respective shops.

After all, it's dinner time in two hours. What a fulfilling day!

The base chief was meticulous and thorough in his work, and he dug up more than three feet of the original pine forest area.

We also scanned the surrounding area for several kilometers, adopting a "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free" mentality.

He only reported to Lu Li after confirming that there were no problems.

Lu Li said she understood, and then casually asked, "Want to have dinner together?"

The base commander initially wanted to politely push and pull the issue, but then he thought, what if Boss Lu really did something if they kept pushing and pulling?
Let's not be so sarcastic. For someone as frank as Boss Lu, the best thing to do is to just agree.

"Okay! I'm coming right away!" the base commander said cheerfully.

Oh yeah, I get to have another really good dinner, I'm so happy!

After dealing with the pine tree issue, the base chief even went to a bathhouse for a scrub.

Since we're guests, and now that we have the opportunity, we definitely need to make sure we look presentable.

It's not pleasant for anyone to see someone covered in sticky, dirty clothes.

So he got into the RV clean and happy, and greeted everyone excitedly.

"Boss Lu~ You're having some good food again tonight?" the base manager asked, trying to start a conversation.

"I don't know, it should be pickled fish, stir-fried squid, spicy and sour bullfrog, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, fish head with chopped chili peppers, spicy chicken..."

Every time Lu Li announced a dish, the base manager would swallow hard.

Towards the end, it was hard to even swallow, but it still tasted so delicious!
These are all dishes I haven't had for lunch. It's so nice to live in a motorhome; the food is never the same.

The base commander peered into the kitchen, where several grown men were working, wearing aprons.

The scene was quite harmonious, and they all seemed very capable, their movements incredibly swift. The base commander watched for a while, then suddenly wondered if he should go and help too.
But seeing Lu Li sitting there so calmly, I didn't know whether to help her or chat with her.
Never mind, let's have some fruit. He's a guest.

The base commander tried to console himself.

Besides, even if he were to help, he would probably only make things worse.

He hadn't been in the kitchen for almost ten years and had basically forgotten everything.

Let's just sit here quietly and keep Boss Lu company, even though she doesn't need anyone to keep her company.

Ultimately, it's because the base commander needs someone to accompany him.

Soon, a large table of dishes was ready, and the base commander couldn't help but swallow his saliva again.

Why does it smell so good?

It looks nice too!
The base commander quietly took out his personal terminal and secretly took a few photos.

Although he doesn't know how to cook it, it's still a good choice to eat with rice later.

A beautiful sight is pleasing to the eye, isn't it?
As everyone took their seats, Lu Li, unaccustomed to greeting people, simply said, "Eat whatever you like."

With those three words in mind, the base commander felt reassured and indeed ate to his heart's content.

He ate even more than Luo Mu did when he first arrived; he ate twice as much as Luo Mu.

Everyone just thinks it's amazing that he can eat a lot when he has the means and endure hunger when he doesn't.

After dinner, the base commander carried the unfinished food back to the base, swaying back and forth.

Looking further out, Luli could no longer see that beautiful "Christmas tree".

Now it's bare, there's nothing there, only the traces of the land being turned over.

Although it's not pretty, it's reassuring, so I don't have to worry about being suddenly attacked in the face again when I wake up.

Did they seduce me separately just because they wanted to eat me?

It may seem like a question, but the answer is already decided in one's mind.

"Yes, we've had our eye on you since day one," the system said.

Lu Li paused for a moment, then asked, "Do you know?"

Now the system fell silent. Did it know? Should it know?
[Hmph.] Lu Li already knew the answer from the system's silence.

This damn system loves to do this; it loves to control everything from its God-like perspective!
That makes sense, if the system provides hints and advance notice at every turn.

What's the point then? The whole plot has been spoiled.

……

Day six at the pine cone base.

It was also the last day.

The residents were aware of this, and their enthusiasm was at an all-time high, making it the day with the highest number of visitors.

Many residents who had stayed at the base for the past few days were dragged out by their relatives and friends for a stroll.

What if you're the next lucky one? Who can say for sure about something so mystical!
Even Lu Li didn't know who the next first prize would be, or what it would be.

Since it was the last day, Luli extended its business hours by one hour.

After closing time, the shop owners no longer had the energy to gather in the RVs and brag; they went straight home to sleep.

We're heading to the osmanthus base tomorrow.

……

Another day of eating hot pot while on the go.

It has become a habit, and even the preparation, washing, and plating of vegetables have a clear division of labor.

Lu Li felt that only on the day they left the old base and headed to the new one was everyone truly relaxed.

On this one day, there's nothing else to do but enjoy a happy hot pot meal.

Then you can go home and get a good night's sleep, and prepare for the next day's business.
