I am weak and friendly

Chapter 277 Tell me, is this place safe or not?
After another tiring day yesterday, Tang Yiping woke up early the next morning, it was almost noon.

He took out his phone and glanced at it. He didn't find any missed calls, so he figured it probably wasn't anything important and went back to sleep. He didn't feel at ease until his stomach started growling. He ordered takeout while still in bed before finally getting up.

Tang Yiping felt that his current sleep schedule was ruined, and he definitely wouldn't be able to adapt to going back to class.

After washing his face and brushing his teeth, and doing some simple rehabilitation exercises, about half an hour passed. Tang Yiping realized that his takeout hadn't arrived yet. He took out his phone and noticed that the delivery guy was sometimes near and sometimes far. At the closest point, he was only 300 meters away, but he still hadn't delivered it to him.

Tang Yiping was a little puzzled, so he simply made a phone call:
"Hello, why hasn't my takeout been delivered yet? Yes, it's from Jing'an Garden Community. Yes, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Yiping couldn't help but shake his head.

This delivery guy was really something else; he actually forgot about his own order. Didn't the system remind him?
Tang Yiping rubbed his rumbling stomach and could only continue to wait.

After waiting for about five or six minutes, Tang Yiping received a call from the deliveryman.

"Hello, this is a food delivery guy. Didn't you order a serving of pork ribs? The address you left was 12th floor of building 3, but there's no 12th floor in this building!" The delivery guy's voice echoed, probably because he was in the elevator.

"Yes, there is a 12th floor. It's above 11 and below 13, so isn't that the 12th floor?" Tang Yiping asked, puzzled.

"I'm so sorry, I must have misread it," the delivery guy quickly apologized.

"It's okay, I'll go open the door and wait for you now." Tang Yiping hung up the phone, opened the door, and then vaguely heard the elevator running and the sound of the elevator door opening. Then the delivery guy came out of the elevator lobby and looked around.

He waved to the delivery guy, but the guy ignored him and took out his phone, which then rang again.

"Hello, I've arrived on the 12th floor. Where is room 1201?"

"Isn't that right here? I'm a grown man, and there's such a big door, didn't you see me?" Tang Yiping said resentfully.

The deliveryman paused for a moment, then turned around abruptly and saw Tang Yiping sitting in a wheelchair.

"Sorry, sorry, I don't know what's wrong with my eyes today, I just have vision problems." The delivery guy quickly handed the food to Tang Yiping, then scratched his head and walked away looking completely bewildered.

Tang Yiping was also a bit confused.

Is this awkward?
He returned to his room with the takeout and saw Stoka squatting next to a flowerpot, panting heavily as he looked at him.

"Huh?" Tang Yiping then noticed that a faint bright line had grown out of the flowerpot.

Tang Yiping leaned closer to take a look and was overjoyed: "【Dust of Original Silence】has actually sprouted?"

Compared to the [Mother Tree of Primordial Dust] on the 41st floor, this newly grown [Mother Tree of Primordial Dust] is really too tiny, only a little over ten centimeters long, like an ultra-thin bean sprout made of light.

A stem made of light threads was embedded in the round bone piece below, and a head the size of a match head was placed on top of it, floating and swaying in the air.

It's hard to imagine that such a tiny thing, barely noticeable unless you look closely, could grow into a mother tree strong enough to envelop and disintegrate a behemoth like the "Forked Sheep".

Tang Yiping reached out and gently touched the tiny head, about the size of a match head. The little thing rubbed against his fingers affectionately.

Tang Yiping felt a strange sense of familiarity with it. He turned his head and looked around, only to find that the [Dust of Silence] that had always been by his side was gone.

"So it was you..." Tang Yiping said, "Did you do this just now?"

The little thing still rubbed against me and came closer, making a sound like "ring ring ring".

A notification appeared before Tang Yiping's eyes:
—You have obtained a [Safe Haven] (1/1). Please continue to improve the safety of your haven to increase your survival level.

Tang Yiping was overjoyed. "Huh, is this all it takes?"

How could something as small as a bean sprout have made one's dwelling safe?
The system had originally said that his current residence was not naturally suitable and suggested that he change his residence.

These bean sprouts are absolutely amazing!

In comparison, Stoca, who is completely incapable of guarding the gate, and Lola, who was originally quite useful as a gatekeeper, are utterly inadequate.

"Good boy, grow up well, brother will water you." Tang Yiping took out a watering can and poured water on the plants.

Stoka, standing nearby, shook his head. Luckily, the [Mother Tree of Dust and Silence] wasn't a real plant, otherwise Tang Yiping would probably have killed it by overwatering.

The newly sprouted mother tree seemed quite happy, swaying in the water droplets, becoming even more crystal clear.

Stoka felt that someone like Tang Yiping, who was prone to making careless mistakes, was only fit to raise the [Original Dust Mother Tree].

After teasing the [Original Dust Mother Tree], Tang Yiping suddenly thought of something.

Wait a minute, if the [Mother Tree of Primordial Dust] sprouts, the delivery guy might forget to deliver his own food and won't be able to find his way home, wouldn't that be...?

Did Uncle Shen say that we would have a meeting this morning to discuss what to do next?

What time was it?

Nine o'clock?

what time is it now?
Tang Yiping looked at the time 11:35 on his phone and felt terrible.

He picked up his backpack and was about to leave when he stopped.

Oh well, since we're already here, I might as well enjoy my brunch first.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of such a quiet morning?

After Tang Yiping and Stoka finished sharing the ribs, Tang Yiping had just entered the elevator when his phone rang.

……

"Alright, that concludes our meeting for today." On the 41st floor, Shen Hong looked at the dozen or so people sitting together and asked, "Does anyone have any questions or comments?"

Although he told everyone to go back and get a good night's sleep, Shen Hong barely slept a wink last night.

He reviewed what he had seen and heard during this period, made several plans, and wrote a report, which he brought to the meeting today for discussion.

This is not only the action plan for the next period of time, but also the report that Shen Hong intends to submit to his superiors.

Seeing that everyone was shaking their heads, Shen Hong called out names.

"Gao Ming, do you have anything to say?"

"No? Hirako, what about you?"

No one answered.

"Pingzi?" Shen Hong looked at Tang Yiping's usual spot, but there was no one there.

Everyone started discussing it animatedly.

"Tang didn't come today."

"He didn't come? How could we have a meeting if he didn't come?"

"Is he still asleep? It seems like a new version was released yesterday."

"Then why didn't anyone call him?"

"Gao Ming, didn't I tell you to pick up Pingzi this morning?"

A group of people looked at each other.

“Call him.” Shen Hong put his hand to his forehead, feeling that his meeting had been a waste of time.
