Ark Journey

Thinking of this, Xue Zhi took the initiative to interrupt the topic.

"If you don't understand, then we'll talk about it later. There are dangers and opportunities among the stars. I think I encountered a great opportunity and that's why I have the power I have now."

Rashly popularizing topics about the universe may cause unknown disasters to come earlier, so it’s better not to do it.

Seeing that Xue Zhi didn't want to talk, Shu could only nod as if he understood.

"it is good."

Chapter 28: Afterwards

After Xue Zhi dealt with the evil spirit, Shu rested for two days.

During this time, she stayed at home and cooked for Xue Zhi, who was staying there temporarily, and chatted with him about things outside.

Then drink the bottle of enchantment every day to restore your body.

During this period, the government officials of Dahuang City finally quelled the riots. They gave holidays to the farmers and Taoist priests whose fields were destroyed and had nothing to do, so that they could take a break.

He then closed the door and gathered some people with higher positions to discuss the next countermeasures.

These people looked relatively happy because Shu had come once before and told some senior officials that the evil spirit pollution in this area had been cleared.

Now that the biggest problem has been solved, these officials naturally don't have to look sad when faced with things that can be solved by the remaining manpower.

"Let me tell you about the current situation. The application has been sent to the capital, 800 miles away on an expedited basis. Support should be arriving soon."

"We still have enough food. We just harvested a wave of food. As for the seeds we cultivated, they may be wasted. In addition, we have to apply for some funds to compensate some companies and merchants. After all, some of the things they paid us to cultivate have disappeared."

"It's a reasonable request. The report mentioned the riot and dissipation of the evil spirits. I'm sure His Majesty the Emperor will not hold us back in this regard."

The secretary of the meeting kept writing down the content of the conversation.

The officials present also talked about how the affairs they were currently responsible for were being handled.

At the end of the conversation, the highest officer of Dahuang City suddenly asked:

"By the way, what's Shu's situation now?"

"She's still resting."

"Rest? That's good. She's been tired for so long. Also, have you found out anything about the man next to her?"

Since Ji left this place more than ten years ago, Shu has no one by his side all the time.

But now Xue Zhi's appearance has broken this situation.

The highest officer of Dahuang City suspected that this person was also a fragment of the Year Beast. In addition, her intuition told her that this incident was deeply related to the person who suddenly appeared.

"We have the identity information he registered when he entered the city. There's nothing special about it. He's a veteran who served in Yumen for 12 years, has made several meritorious contributions, and has now retired."

"Is this identity information okay?"

"No problem at all, we checked it several times."

(Taiwei: I will do the job, don't worry)

This question was not pursued further because Xue Zhi showed no signs of being harmful to Da Yan.

Although no one said anything else, some people were still thinking about it.

[So it seems that he is not a fragment of the Year Beast, but what role does he play in this incident? ]

Xue Zhi, unaware that someone was doubting her identity, was eating with big mouthfuls.

If you don't eat a little here, it's like you haven't been here.

After finishing his meal, Shu was drinking from the bottle of enchantment on the opposite side.

"Every time I drink this, the taste is a little different. It was spicy yesterday and sour today."

"It's OK. Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease."

After dinner, Xue Zhi, who had nothing to do, slumped down in a chair.

Logically he should leave now, but Shu's condition made him plan to stay here for a few more days just in case something unexpected happens, and also to get a few more meals.

After washing the dishes, Shu came out of the kitchen and saw Xue Zhi who seemed to be melting on the chair, so he took a file bag from the side.

"Dahuang City is facing some problems now. Do you have any good solutions?"

Xue Zhi, knowing that she couldn't sit still, sat up straight.

"Tell me, there's a lot I can do."

Seeing that he did not refuse, Shu opened the file bag.

"Some experimental plants in Dahuang City were destroyed. Can you think of a solution?"

Xue Zhi fell into a brief silence.

He felt that Shu overestimated him a little.

"How do you restore something that's been destroyed? I can't do that."

Ever since she helped her resolve the evil spirits and soul injuries, Xue Zhi felt that Shu had transformed from an intellectual older sister into, uh, an equally intellectual younger sister.

But Shu was a little skeptical.

"You can't do that, too?"

"You can try, but it's not necessary, and I have a better way. I also have some seeds with special traits, and I can give them to you directly to replace the ones that were destroyed."

You can try to reverse time using the time core, but there is really no need for that.

Space is relatively easy for Xue Zhi to control, but time is unpredictable. If she regresses too much, she might even summon the evil spirit back.

"Seeds? How did you get them?"

"I travel a lot and naturally collect things, and seeds are one of them."

As Xue Zhi said this, she waved her hand and placed a pile of seeds on the table.

"Well, there are high-yield ones, disease-resistant ones, lodging-resistant ones, non-disease-resistant ones, delicious ones... and there are many more. I won't go into details. They are all labeled. You can read for yourself."

There is a wide variety of items available.

Shu was a little overwhelmed by the seeds that Xue Zhi released.

As she was watching, Xue Zhi spoke again.

He changed from his previous laziness to become very serious.

"Most of the seeds here were cultivated by some very great people. They are all mortals who have worked hard to ensure that the people can have enough food. I hope you can make good use of them and not let them be buried."

Xue Zhi's sudden seriousness made Shu feel a little uncomfortable.

He has been acting like he doesn't care about anything most of the time these days, but now it seems that these things that can make him change must be very important.

So Shu also became serious.

"I'll put them to good use."

"That's good."

The two-day rest time passed so quickly, and on the third day, Shu returned to the fields and started working.

It wasn't good for Xue Zhi to stay at Shu's house alone, so he went out for a walk.

However, everyone was busy in the fields and he looked like a wanderer, which would not look good, so he returned to Shu after not wandering around for long.

"Why are you back so soon?"

"There's nothing to see, and everyone is busy. Some people found me annoying, so they came back."

After hearing this, Shu covered his mouth and laughed.

She had a nice smile.

"How does it feel now that the hero who saved everyone is hated?"

Xue Zhi didn't care about these at all.

"That's normal. After all, not everyone can understand the complete truth of the matter. Ignorance is bliss and the greatest safety."

Her students beside her pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

There seems to be some story between these two? There also seems to be some secrets to be heard.

Noticing that his students were eavesdropping, Shu changed the subject.

"In that case, how about I find you some work? In Dahuang City, there is a saying that 'those who don't work don't eat', but even if you don't work, I will still cook for you."

"Tell me about it."

"Before, the water stored in Dahuang City was directly drained out because of fear of pollution. Now the city is short of water, and the river outside is frozen. Can you find a way to get some water?"

Chapter 29: No Obstacles

Although she could do it, Xue Zhi had never shown the ability to make Shu believe that she could create water.

"Water? What kind? Snow? Or just plain water?"

Shu just said it casually, but he didn't expect Xue Zhi to really do it.

"It's all right. It's almost noon now. Let's have some snow while everyone is resting."

"Row."

Xue Zhi stood up from the edge of the field, then raised her hand and began to drive the weather core.

Within a few seconds, a dark cloud appeared over Dahuang City.

Then snowflakes began to fall, not big and not dense.

"So fast......"

The whole process, from Shu's proposal to the falling of snowflakes, took no more than a few minutes.

After finishing the spell, Xue Zhi sat back down on the edge of the field with a transparent water ball in her hand.

"It's not easy to get some water. Snowflakes are just a way to optimize the spell structure."

Xue Zhi was talking nonsense in a serious tone, but she still managed to scare Shu's students.

Shu can actually do this, but she wants people to be self-reliant rather than rely on her power.

However, she didn't expect Xue Zhi to be so strong in this aspect, and the weather in an area could change at any time.

Since it started snowing, the people in the fields stopped working and Shu took Xue Zhi home.

She said this on the way.

"You give people the impression that you are too ordinary, but in fact you should be a god more powerful than me, even more powerful than Sui. I shouldn't ask you to do this."

There is nothing wrong with saying that the void creatures are gods.

Recalling Ji's words in the Huai Shuli plot, Xue Zhi asked:

"Just to make these people self-reliant?"

"Ah."

"Relax, you underestimated them. I have been to many places, from the war-torn Kazdel to the icy Ursus. Everywhere there are people fighting against nature. They can create their own world without the help of God, so don't worry too much. Help them when you need to. They may not know about it anyway."

"You are open-minded."

"I always do."

After returning to Shu's house and having dinner, the snow had stopped.

As Xue Zhiru said, she didn't put in too much magic power to make the snow fall for a long time.

He then went outside to see a large group of people using explosives to blow up the frozen river and get water from it.

After a few days, he decided to leave after making sure that there was nothing wrong with Shu.

"Leaving now?"

"Well, your health is slowly getting better, so there's no reason for me to stay any longer."

Xue Zhi's words made Shu blush.

This is even better than when she smiles.
