Ark Journey

It is not necessary to thank you for such a great favor. Looking at Xue Zhi's back as she walked away, Hedley tightened the bag of his backpack. From now on, this thing is more important than his life.

Xue Zhi is very busy now. He needs to deal with a lot of solvable problems in a short period of time. Although he is not from here, he does not have many nostalgia for the original world and has regarded this place as his home.

At the edge of the farmland, he found Ross, who was inspecting the land.

Ross washed the dirt off his hands in the water and straightened up, feeling a little confused.

"What crops are you planting? Are you in such a hurry, Deputy Mayor?"

Xue Zhi sighed.

"I don't want to be in such a hurry, but time waits for no one, especially after this natural disaster. I realized that I must help you find a mobile city to survive. So before I leave, some things must be taken care of first."

Ross was so shocked that he didn't say anything for a long time. Then he bowed solemnly to Xue Zhi.

"In any case, we both owe you two lives. On my own behalf, Ross Anthony, I express my highest respect to you. If one day you need me to die, I will not refuse."

Xue Zhi helped him up, then patted his shoulder and said, "That's too much, brother. Let's not talk about life or death, it's unlucky. Let's talk about what to plant in the fields next."

"Yes."

After getting up, Ross found a few more people to discuss the matter. Finally, based on the condition that there was enough food, they decided to plant a batch of green manure crops first and then plant other crops.

Xue Zhi, who was not very proficient in this area, left a large number of seeds according to their ideas and built a warehouse to store these precious little things that could be easily destroyed by various factors.

After finishing these, Xue Zhi ran around the settlement again. The woods, bamboo forests, and pastures, each of them were made by his own hands. He would probably feel uncomfortable if he came back and couldn't see them.

After checking a few saplings, Xue Zhi stood up:

"It's not infested with bugs, which is good, and it's growing well. I wonder if it can still grow as fast when it's far away from me."

Just as he was about to leave, a gray shadow suddenly jumped out from the side.

Xue Zhi's superhuman vision captured its shadow. That thing had a pair of very conspicuous long ears.

"What is this? A rabbit?"

Following the direction where it disappeared, Xue Zhi soon found the small gray thing in a hole dug in the ground.

Touching her chin, Xue Zhi muttered to herself:

"You have already received your death! If you dare to dig a hole in my forest today, you will dare to go to the settlement and beat people up tomorrow. I will not let you go!"

After saying that, he used his telekinesis to probe into the hole, then grabbed the little thing's two hind legs and pulled it out, and at the same time the hole was filled again.

Looking at the unknown animal struggling in front of her, Xue Zhi was thinking about how to deal with it.

"Pretty fat. Let me think, since you look like a rabbit, you should be cooked the same way as a rabbit. And you're wild, so you need to use some heavy ingredients! We're leaving soon, so let's have a good meal with it."

In the evening, Xue Zhi, who had been running outside all day, set up a barbecue in front of the tent. The slaughtered rabbit was being marinated in a basin, and various kinds of replaced meat were being processed around it.

W, who was chopping vegetables in the oven, hummed a self-made tune: "Baked potatoes, baked potatoes, hey, why do you look so much like Inès's head?"

Ines, who had recovered and was able to walk, appeared here, holding her forehead with her hand: "I could hear you singing that damn song from such a distance, W."

"You have really good ears then. Hey, that sausage isn't even cooked yet, and you're moving your mouth?"

"Oh, I have a healthy stomach, so I'm not afraid of that."

On the other side, Hedley, who was also invited, walked to the oven and started chatting with Xue Zhi.

"When do you plan to leave?"

"Wait a few days, I'll see if there's anything else that needs to be dealt with in the next few days."

"Well, do you know Ursus? Will there be any problem communicating there?"

"Don't worry, it's not a problem."

Since he knew Kazdel language as soon as he landed, Xue Zhi was not too worried about this aspect. If he couldn't do it after arriving there, it wouldn't be too late to learn it. It didn't take him long to learn Kazdel language anyway.

After preparing all the ingredients, Xue Zhi moved the oven over and placed the chopped rabbit meat and various directly exchanged meats next to the oven.

"Okay, everyone sit down and eat while we grill."

Hedley saw the rabbit on the table clearly, and suddenly he recalled the past.

“I don’t remember it being very tasty.”

"What did the visitor say?"

"Sorry sorry."

Xue Zhi didn't care because the usual way of cooking rabbit was indeed not very tasty.

"It's okay. The taste of this thing is just not very good. When cooking, you have to use heavy ingredients to suppress all kinds of strange smells."

"Never mind, just eat and it's over."

Chapter 20: Growth

Before he could finish his words, W fell unconscious.

Xue Zhi, who was observing from the side, was so frightened that her heart almost stopped. Fortunately, the numbers on the heart rate monitor and the electrocardiogram did not change much, and the undead totem in W's hand did not explode.

Exhaling a breath of foul air, Xue Zhi glanced at W's still heaving chest and steady breathing, and his heart finally settled down. He really didn't expect the reaction after taking the medicine would be so intense. After all, there would be no buff or debuff after taking this thing in the game.

Untying W's bath towel, the dark green Originium crystals looked so unsightly on this beautiful and well-proportioned female body.

Fortunately, Xue Zhi discovered that the condition in W's lower abdomen, where the disease was most serious, had begun to improve. A piece of crystal at the edge, close to the normal tissue, had fallen off. After the crystal was peeled off, the flesh and blood underneath had healed under the action of his treatment core.

"it works!"

Restraining her excitement and urge to punch, Xue Zhi kept her hands on W's abdomen, while staring closely at the crystals, hoping to see the process of them falling off.

Soon, he saw what he wanted to see.

The skin around the largest crystal in W's lower abdomen suddenly became disconnected from the crystal. However, unlike the previous ones that were inflamed and oozing pus, Xue Zhi could see through the tiny dark gap that the tissue underneath was very healthy and growing rapidly. After a few seconds, the crystal was pushed down by the well-grown tissue and then rolled down her body onto the bed.

Picking up the fallen crystal, Xue Zhi did not notice the recharge sound popping up on the system panel: "Interesting, it's actually inactive?"

Without further exploring the use of this crystal, Xue Zhi placed it on the cabinet beside the bed. Turning his head, he suddenly saw that W looked a little uncomfortable and twisted his body slightly.

Suddenly, his heart was relieved again, and then Xue Zhi noticed that a piece of Originium rolled out from under W's body.

Picking up the small source stone, Xue Zhi said to herself helplessly: "...It turns out that it was hit by the stone. I was worried for a long time."

As he said, the night was long. After all the Originium on W's body disappeared, Xue Zhi did not remove his hand. He planned to keep going until W woke up to avoid any accidents. Anyway, his current body would not get tired easily.

After finding a book about local customs and practices in the room, Xue Zhi sat on the bed and read it in the night. From time to time, he looked up to see W's situation.

As he expected, after all the Originium on the body surface fell off, some Originium actually began to precipitate from various parts of W's body and then fell off.

In this case, Xue Zhi, who had put away the book, could only guess that it was the Originium in the body, such as those contained in the blood or those attached to the internal organs, that were enriched and discharged. If it could affect the Originium in the body, then this potion might have the potential to completely cure the mineral disease.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the purified water he made is useful, but the principle is unknown. In this case, according to some medical rules, this medicine with unknown principles but magical effects can be called a "magic bullet."

At 1 a.m., W, who had been in a coma for two hours, woke up slowly. She felt a little dizzy and her body was weak, but everything was recovering at a considerable speed.

She asked Xue Zhi who was putting down her book, "What happened? I remember I just finished drinking the medicine you gave me."

Xue Zhi noticed that she had opened her eyes and said with a smile: "The medicine has taken effect successfully. Your mineralopathy has improved. Why don't you get up and try?"

Slowly sitting up with the help of Xue Zhi's arm, W did not care about her naked current situation, but first looked at her lower abdomen, and then her eyes widened.

Those Originium crystals were gone! The endless pain that had accompanied me growing up since I could remember was also gone!

W clenched her fists in disbelief. She had never felt so good before!

Xue Zhi smiled and admired W's shocked expression at the moment: "How do you feel? I said I would cure you, didn't I lie?"

W looked into Xue Zhi's eyes with a clear smile, and said in disbelief, "It's better than ever before."

Xue Zhi's promise a few days ago was still fresh in her mind, but she didn't expect it to be fulfilled so soon.

Seeing that she was fully awake, Xue Zhi slowly reached out and lifted her smooth chin in the face of her puzzled look: "Then let's do what we should do next."

After saying that, he kissed W's moist red lips.

He had endured it for too long. Such a beautiful girl, whose body and soul belonged to him, was lying naked in front of him, but he did not do it out of respect. This was really torture for a normal man.

The moment their lips touched each other, W's tail tensed up instantly, then relaxed. Immediately afterwards, an inexplicable happiness appeared in her mind, making her subconsciously hug Xue Zhi's neck tightly, and clumsily respond to him.

Although Xue Zhi was also a novice, his actions based on his inner desires made W blush after their lips parted.

"Xue Zhi..."

"I'm here, W."

That night, both of them grew a lot.

Chapter 40: Spring Festival (Part )

In addition to the biting cold that is everywhere in winter, there is something more important for Dongda students, and that is the Chinese New Year.

Xue Zhi, who was walking in the wilderness, did not realize this until she saw some staff members hanging red lanterns on the door of a building at an inn.

He had stayed in the wilderness and far away from civilization for too long, so long that he even forgot important festivals like the Spring Festival.

On a flat land in the wild, Xue Zhi, who planned to spend the night here, was building a house and thinking about tonight's dinner.

Alison was recalling the busy staff she had seen at the inn before.

"Xue Zhi, what were they doing at that time?"

"They are preparing for the Yan Kingdom's traditional Spring Festival, specifically celebrating the passing of another year."

Of course, it might be more specific to celebrate the planet's orbit around its star, but few people on Terra would understand.

"New Year? I think it should have passed a long time ago. What's different about the New Year in Yan Country?"

After the house was built, Xue Zhi put down some furniture and began to explain it to Alison.

"Yan State implements two calendars. One is called the solar calendar here, which is what we often call it; the other is called the lunar calendar, which is only used in Yan State. It was formulated in the past based on the waxing and waning of the moon, and it also serves to assist farming."

"I see."

"As for what's different about the New Year in Yan Country, it's hard to say. In fact, I feel that they are all the same. It's just a day for everyone to get together to eat, drink and rest for a few days. At most, the ancestor worship is more grand."

"Oh oh oh."

In addition, Xue Zhi also obtained a relatively important piece of information here, which is the current year.

The world has just entered the year 1096, and there are only three days left until the Spring Festival. Xue Zhi, who did not pay much attention to this when watching the plot in the past, only remembered that the Chicheng incident occurred this year.

But this event will not happen at present, because under his influence, Tallulah is still developing in the northern part of Ursus, instead of leading the infected under the possession of the black snake to attack Chernobog and try to provoke the Ukrainian War to make Ursus great again.

[I don't know how Alina and the others are doing, but I don't have any feelings, so everything should be normal. I'll go back and check after we get to Longmen.]

In the house that had just been built, Xue Zhi was exchanging plates of dishes and a bottle of wine from her panel.

Although he can't get drunk, he usually doesn't want to drink. But since the New Year is approaching, how can he do without wine?

Alison, who had taken off her coat, was sitting quietly at the table, waiting.

She was wearing a gauze dress today that could almost be considered very beautiful.

Although this little snake is greedy and playful, it is also very obedient and will wear whatever Xue Zhi asks her to wear.

There's no way around it. The effect of being born with a high favorability and having all behaviors that increase favorability increased by 50% is like this. In addition, although Xue Zhi has a bottom line in this regard, it's not too high, so together they created this effect.

The plump outline was clearly visible through the gauze dress in the light. The two of them sat on the ground and ate at a low table.

Alison sat next to Xue Zhi, her unusually soft body pressed against his with almost no space between them.

Chapter 40: Spring Festival (Part )

During the meal, Xue Zhi, who had been thinking about something in the past few days since coming into contact with Hai Si, asked a question.

"Ellie, do you have any idea about Agor's industrial capabilities?"

Although she didn't know why Xue Zhi asked this, Alisonna started thinking quickly.

"Industrial capacity? Let me think about it."

As a somewhat pessimistic person, his principle of action is to expect the worst and do the best.

What Xue Zhi was thinking was actually not complicated. All his thoughts at the moment were to deal with the disaster coming from the depths of the universe in the most critical situation.

He is not a saint, and his attempt to save the land is only for himself and those he knows.

Therefore, in addition to his efforts in Haisi, he may also need the support of various countries in this land at that time.
