Mountains and giant beasts, cabins in the woods

"You've read a few books? Mr. Liu, you're too modest." Du Xiaomei didn't believe this statement.

"Uncle, what other scientific research labs do you know?" Su Dabo didn't believe this claim either.

The development of science and technology requires gradual accumulation, a point that all researchers understand.

"I was just speculating on my own, thinking it might work, but I never expected it to actually work!" Liu Xingmo waved his hand casually and then brandished the shovel again.

In the darkness, the white breath he exhaled with each breath was tinged crimson by the firelight, like a burning flame.

Su Dabao couldn't help but look at his young uncle with admiration. Du Xiaomei squinted, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Breakthroughs in science and technology sometimes depend on genius; a person with extraordinary talent can accomplish in an afternoon what other researchers do in a lifetime.

Perhaps it is in remote, mountainous areas that a unique genius is born.

That's quite possible, because this anonymous writer has already conquered most of the Central Plains with his unique novels. Maybe he really is a genius who can come up with something new just by casually looking at old objects.

Liu Xingmo focused on his work and didn't want to take any more credit for himself.

……

Thick smoke billowed from Mushroom Castle, dissipating in the wind on the horizon, then condensing into clouds high above, dyed crimson by the setting sun, spreading out like glazed tiles, covering the dark blue mountains.

After a busy day, we produced 30 bottles of healing potion. It contains a miraculous ingredient, and its effects are worth anticipating.

The four of them closed the factory and had dinner together.

Su Dabao and Du Xiaomei said goodbye and left.

Liu Xingmo arrived at the culture room, enduring the pungent musty smell, and inspected two large vats. His newly formed soul imprint was used to control another cluster of Penicillium mold.

The bluish-gray down had grown to the thickness of a finger, swaying gently in the murky liquid. The nutrient solution from cooking the food had been completely consumed, leaving only a few bits of residue.

She's very good-looking, quite good-looking.

Liu Xingmo poured out the water from the large vat and added new nutrient solution.

The vigorous fungal community immediately extends tiny hyphae to collect the substances needed for survival.

Liu Xingmo stretched out his hands, transferring a stream of wood energy and a stream of blood energy.

The bluish-gray fluffy clumps slowly wriggled, quickly filling the large vat and greedily absorbing nutrients.

The wood energy and blood energy flow silently among the mycelium, constantly activating and strengthening each cell.

Liu Xingmo has summarized it.

These strange contract bacteria are not individual entities, but rather a unified collective life form. They are constantly undergoing intense metabolism and evolving.

Liu Xingmo poured the contents of the white porcelain plate on the shelf into the large vat.

This move serves two purposes:

First, add Penicillium samples to diversify the genetic sources of the contracted bacteria.

Second, introduce some unrelated bacteria to artificially create competition and eliminate pathogens, forcing the contracted bacteria to evolve into a state that produces a lot of penicillin.

The effect is remarkable. Over this period of cultivation, the yield of white powdery penicillin has been increasing a little every day.

Liu Xingmo collected these antibiotics into a jar and put it in the warehouse.

Looking at his goods, he couldn't help but feel eager to make the deal.

the next day.

After finishing his daily work, Liu Xingmo went to the pharmacy.

Without wasting words, he went straight to the sharp-eyed owl and said, "Instructor, I have a batch of healing medicine that I'd like to sell to wild boars. Do you know of any channels for that?"

The owl remained still, its neck twisted halfway around, gazing at the little figure on the ground: "You have great vision and great courage. In fact, we have already formed a united front with the other beast tribes of the Xing'an Mountains."

"The situation has become so critical!" Liu Xingmo's gaze sharpened. "Instructor, could you tell me the details?"

"Yes. The Ankylosaurus forces are steadily advancing the front lines, while the Orcish coalition is struggling to hold on. Our role in this war is merely to heal the wounded; we do not participate in the fighting."

"That's wonderful!" Liu Xingmo relaxed a little and continued, "I have some special medicines that aren't easy to sell directly. Could I make contact with the wild boar?"

The owl turned its feet, kept its head still, and stood up straight.

He lowered his bird head, his two round eyes fixed on the young man before him: "This mission is extremely dangerous; only those at the third rank or higher can participate. Are you sure you want to get involved?"

"I...I want to go!" Liu Xingmo said solemnly. "At least for the first time, let me explain in detail how to use the medicine so that we can have long-term transactions in the future."

"At three o'clock this afternoon, take your medicine and go to Nanshan Square." The owl finished speaking coldly, then stood up straight and continued to survey the pharmacy with an air of authority.

Liu Xingmo returned home and quickly made preparations.

Sumali had reservations about this, feeling that her husband shouldn't have taken the risk.

Liu Xingmo persuaded her with great effort, and then, as agreed, he brought 30 jars of healing potion and a jar of penicillin to the foot of the mountain in the south of the city.

The trees and weeds have been cut down, and neat stone slabs have been laid to form a square.

Birds of all sizes, carrying bundles and baskets, took off and landed in the square. On the ground, people were waiting, pulling carts to unload or load goods.

This is Nanshan Square, which functions similarly to an airport, providing a place for people to board bird-themed pets.

The third level of the Blood Path is called the Flying Bird Realm, which allows one to forcibly subdue wild birds, or small animals such as rabbits and ferrets.

These creatures possess enough intelligence to discern who treats them well and who is a trustworthy master.

Therefore, as long as a second-tier powerhouse is good at raising animals, they can possess a decent contracted beast.

The vast majority of people in the square were second-tier powerhouses riding pheasants. They offered expensive transportation services, such as a quick trip to West Town or North Village for 10 yuan.

Among these majestic pheasants, one stood out from the crowd… no, a white crane stood quietly. Other birds of prey, exuding an air of composure, accompanied it.

Judging from the looks of it, this team is heading out to carry out a dangerous mission.

A sharp-eyed egret spotted Liu Xingmo and, using its long, slender claws, walked over step by step: "Young man, what brings you here?"

"Instructor Bai Ting, it's been a long time." Liu Xingmo pointed to the heavy medicine chest behind him with his thumb. "I'm going to the front lines to sell medicine. I've already made arrangements with the pharmacy."

"You really are..." The egret shook its head, its bright eyes full of helplessness. "Fine, come with me. I'll try my best to keep an eye on you."

"Thank you so much, Instructor Bai Ting!" Liu Xingmo said with delight.

Before long, the group set off.

The elegant white cranes raise their heads and cry out, their rolling sounds echoing through the mountains and fields.

The noisy square immediately fell silent. Those once arrogant pheasants tucked their legs in, covered their heads with their wings, and curled up into a ball.

A white crane flaps its wings, and one bird takes the lead in flying into the sky.

The other birds around them flapped their wings and formed a neat figure-eight formation with the white crane at the top.
