Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 119 Demonstration and Rewards

When the two heard Yao Chengcheng's praise, they looked embarrassed. It was the first time in all these years that they had been praised like this.

"Don't be embarrassed, you two are the well-deserved twin stars of Wanling City. This deed is worth publicizing!"

Yao Chengcheng could see that the two were still young and would feel embarrassed when faced with such things, but he thought differently.

The world has just experienced its second great catastrophe, and everyone is in a heavy mood. He is thinking of ways to boost everyone's confidence.

The breakthrough of the two at this time is undoubtedly "a pillow given to someone when they are sleepy". As long as this matter is well publicized, I believe that the residents of Wanling City will be more motivated.

But the most important thing now is to eat, not the time to talk about this, so he didn't say anything more.

Half an hour later, after finishing their meal, everyone came to the top floor of the City Lord's Mansion. It was the first time that anyone other than Li Mu and the other two had come here.

"sit down."

Yao Chengcheng was thoughtful and pulled out two chairs to let the two people relax.

After the two of them sat down, Li Mu, who was sitting in the first seat, asked,
"When did you two awaken?"

Hearing this, Ma Yuan suppressed his nervousness and replied,
"It was around five in the afternoon, just after awakening, we came to see you."

Li Mu touched his chin and thought to himself, "Not bad, not bad, you came here as soon as possible."

"Who among you is earth-type? Who among you is gold-type?"

Yu Shuaikang continued to ask.

Hong Pengfei pointed at himself and said, "I am an earth element." Then he pointed at Ma Yuan and said, "He is a gold element."

"What are your respective abilities?"

Yao Chengcheng continued with Yu Shuaikang's words and asked, after all, even if they are awakened people from the same series, their abilities will be different.

When the city lord asked about specific abilities, the two of them answered.

Ma Yuan said, "What I can do now is to control metal, like this."

As he said this, he took out the small knife from his waist and gently placed it on the table. Then he placed his right hand half a meter above the knife. As his ability was activated, the knife swayed and flew into his hand. The whole process took less than two seconds.

Li Mu and the other two looked at each other and saw satisfaction in each other's eyes.

In fact, it was the first time they had seen a gold-type awakener, and this ability looked a bit like "Magneto" in the movie.

The three of them put their hands together, clapped and exclaimed, "Excellent!"

Then Li Mu looked at his assistant and raised his eyebrows, as if to say, "It's your turn."

Hong Pengfei certainly understood what his boss meant, but since there was no soil here, he naturally couldn't demonstrate it, so he could only say in an apologetic tone,
"Lord City Lord, I can control the soil, but this place doesn't have it, so..."

When Li Mu heard him say that, the corners of his mouth rose, "This is easy."

As he spoke, a vine as thick as his forearm grew out from his back and extended along the window. In just a few breaths, it brought up a flowerpot filled with soil and placed it in front of Hong Pengfei.

Then, Li Mu said jokingly,

"Come on, it's time to show some real skills!"

Hong Pengfei took a deep breath, put his right hand into the flowerpot and touched the soil.

As a pale yellow light flashed on his hand, the soil beneath his hand began to tremble, and slowly attached to his palm and wrapped up his entire hand.

It slowly began to solidify, taking on a grayish-white color like granite, and the whole thing looked like a palm carved out of stone.

"Hmm... a bit like a stone man!"

Li Mu touched his chin and expressed his feelings.

Yao Chengcheng and Yu Shuaikang on the side also nodded, it really looked like one. "Can you control sand or rocks?"

Li Mu looked at Hong Pengfei and continued to ask.

In his opinion, the earth-type awakener should be able to control more than just mud, but all substances with the concept of "earth".

“I haven’t tried it yet, so I don’t know yet.”

Hong Pengfei answered honestly that he came here right after awakening and had no time to properly feel his abilities.

"That's right, let's wait until you two are familiar with each other for a few days before we talk about it."

Li Mu thought about it and did not continue to ask. Instead, he looked at Ma Yuan and asked, "Your friend has joined my production department. What do you think?"

"Do you want to be free and alone, or do you want to join a department? The three of us are here today, so it's convenient."

Ma Yuan didn't think too much after hearing this, and immediately looked at Yu Shuaikang excitedly, "Lord City Lord, I want to join the hunting team! Are you willing to accept me?"

Yu Shuaikang was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't expect that Ma Yuan actually wanted to fight with him.

"Wow! You have good taste! I promise you."

"I can't say anything else, but I promise you'll have a good time if you follow me."

As he was speaking, he suddenly thought of Ma Yuan's determination to join the hunting team. He couldn't just praise him verbally, but had to give him some substantial rewards.

Then, he took out a thumb-sized ball from his pocket, threw it to Ma Yuan, and said with a smile,
"This is the seed of the Thousand Machine Vine. It can absorb metal to grow, which is perfect for your ability."

"I was planning to divide it among my old subordinates, but now it's your turn."

What he didn't know was that Ma Yuan had already learned the news about Qianji Vine from Hong Pengfei.

Ma Yuan took the seeds that flew over and said with a look of surprise and gratitude, "Thank you, Lord City Lord."

Yu Shuaikang waved his hand and said, "Report to the Military Affairs Building at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."

Li Mu rolled his eyes as he watched from the sidelines, "Okay, okay, you're trying to buy people's hearts with my stuff, right?"

"That's all for today. When you go back, practice well. If you have any difficulties, come to the Internal Affairs Building to find me. I will do my best to help you solve them."

At this time, Yao Chengcheng, who had been silent, spoke.

"it is good."

"clear."

The two knew that the three city lords had other things to discuss, so they stood up and said goodbye and left without saying much.

Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Yao Chengcheng sighed,

"I didn't expect to get such a surprise today."

Li Mu smiled and said, "It is indeed a surprise. But why did you signal them to leave? Do you have something to say?"

Yu Shuaikang also looked over, feeling the same confusion.

"There are some things I want to discuss with you."

Yao Chengcheng nodded, then looked at Li Mu and asked,

"Although there are still few awakeners and source warriors in Wanling City, there will definitely be more and more in the future. Have you ever thought about how to treat them specifically? And how to manage them?"

Hearing this, Li Mu did not think deeply about it. He knew that since Yao Chengcheng asked this, he must have a plan in mind. He asked them now just to discuss the details with them.

"You must have a solution. Tell me what you think."
