Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 124 The Sun Under the Night Sky
Upon hearing this, Hu Fugui grabbed the hare's long ears with one hand and lifted it up, then hung it directly on the borrowed beam balance, put the weight on it, and after some adjustments, he said,

"Look, this rabbit weighs 52.3 jin. I'll count it as 50 jin for you, and the extra 2.3 jin is a gift to you, so the total is 400 bronze spirit coins."

Li Mu comes from the countryside. When he was a child, his family didn't have electronic scales. They used traditional beam scales, so he knew how to tell the weight on the beam scale.

"The weight is indeed right."

After checking, he took out four silver spirit coins from his pocket, handed them to the big man in front of him, and asked casually, "Could you two brothers tell me your names?"

Without waiting for the big man to answer, he explained, "I see that the two big brothers are planning to specialize in this business in the future. As for me, I like eating wild rabbits, so I want you to get to know each other so that it will be convenient for trading in the future."

Hu Fugui and Wang Quan were among the last few groups to be transferred, so they did not recognize Li Mu. However, they noticed his clothes and complexion, as well as Hu Li and Hong Pengfei following behind him, and immediately realized that the person in front of them was not a simple person. So after looking at each other, they said loudly,
"I'm Hu Fugui, and this is my friend Wang Quan. Who are you?"

When Li Mu heard his question, he did not intend to hide his identity and smiled and said, "My name is Li Mu, and he is my assistant."

"Li Mu?"

When Hu Fugui heard the name, he felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had heard someone say it before.

But before he could think about it, another voice came from the front, "Next time you catch a wild rabbit, send it directly to the cafeteria on the first floor of the City Lord's Mansion. Go there and find an aunt named 'Wang Xiao'e.' Tell her that I asked you to deliver it, and she will pay you according to today's price."

After Li Mu finished speaking, he did not say anything more. Instead, he reached out and took the rabbit on the scale, turned around and left calmly. There were still many stalls ahead waiting for him to explore.

Looking at the backs of the three people leaving, Hu Fugui stood there in a daze. He finally remembered where he had heard the name "Li Mu". When he had just transferred to Wanling City, a manager had introduced them to the three managers of the city.

And "Li Mu", isn't this the name of the city lord! ?
"Hey, Brother Hu, what are you standing there for? We've made a fortune again!"

Wang Quan looked at his companion in confusion, wondering why he was in such a daze.

Hearing Wang Quan's call, Hu Fugui finally came to his senses, his face showing uncontrollable ecstasy, "Brother, we are lucky! The one who bought the rabbit just now was the city lord!"

Half an hour later, Li Mu returned to the cafeteria after buying a bunch of snacks and shouted to the kitchen, "Auntie Wang, please come over here. I have something to tell you."

"I'm coming."

Aunt Wang, who was wearing an apron, heard Li Mu's voice and hurried over from the kitchen. Seeing the hare in his hand, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "City Lord, where did you buy this hare from?"

"It's over there at the tree house. I haven't been out for a while. I didn't expect that there's already a market there."

As he spoke, he took out a handful of silver spirit coins from his pocket and said, "There will be a man named Hu Fugui coming to deliver wild rabbits. Take this money. If it's not enough, tell me."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang obediently took the silver spirit coins handed to her by Li Mu. Although she was a little confused, she just did whatever Li Mu said.

Seeing her take the spirit coin, Li Mu smiled faintly and said, "When there are more wild rabbits, you can try to stew some rabbit legs and rabbit heads. If you need any ingredients, just tell me and I will add them."

"Okay, just wait and eat!"

Li Mu did not say anything more, but ate his dinner quietly, thinking about something in his mind. Before the end of the world, there were countless farms all over the country, and the number of chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep and other poultry could be counted in "billions". Even if a large number of them died after the ice age, some of them would survive under the stimulation of source energy.

So where are the surviving poultry and livestock now?
According to his speculation, these animals will most likely wander into the wild after losing management, and then die in large numbers. Those that can survive should all have evolved.

This would explain why there are so many mutant beasts in the outside world. After all, with the reproductive capacity of animals such as chickens, ducks, and pigs before the end of the world, their numbers could increase dozens of times in just a few months, not to mention whether their reproductive capacity would evolve to be stronger after absorbing source energy.

Li Mu, who was worried, returned to his bedroom after hastily finishing his dinner. He wanted to do something special tonight: release the little golden crow and let him become the sun of Wanling City!

After this period of cultivation, the hibiscus tree has grown two leaves again and its height has increased by three centimeters.

The little Golden Crow and the Fusang tree prosper together, so its size has grown from the size of an egg to the size of half a fist.

"Uh-huh-huh"

After spending this period of time together, Little Golden Crow had become very familiar with Li Mu. After hearing his call, it instantly transformed from the Fusang tree and landed on his shoulder in just a blink of an eye.

“Chirp..Chirp..”

The little golden crow tilted its head and used its beak to clean the feathers on its body that were like flames. At the same time, it looked at Li Mu, wondering why he called it out.

"I need you to fly high into the sky and radiate your light with all your strength to provide directions for those who are looking for Wanling City. Is that okay?"

Little Golden Crow is a natural spiritual creature. Although it was born not long ago, it already has the intelligence of a seven or eight-year-old child. So when Li Mu asked it for help, he spoke in a negotiating tone rather than a commanding tone.

"Chirp."

Fortunately, the little golden crow did not refuse. It nodded slightly, then flapped its wings and flew out of the window.

Li Mu followed closely behind and arrived at the City Lord's Mansion in a few steps. He saw the little Golden Crow flew hundreds of meters into the air in just a few breaths, and then its whole body glowed brightly and turned into a small sun!

From Li Mu's perspective, although the light emitted by the Little Golden Crow is not as bright as the real sun that can illuminate half of the blue planet, it is closer to the ground, so it is also very eye-catching.

Although this light cannot illuminate the earth, it is like a shining star. Anyone within a few dozen miles of Wanling City should be able to see it clearly.

This kind of light is completely sufficient, but the little Golden Crow was only born a few days ago, so Li Mu is not sure how long it can last.

"Never mind, let's go to sleep first. When the Fusang tree grows up, the little Golden Crow will naturally become more powerful."

Li Mu turned over and went downstairs without thinking any more. Just because he couldn't do it now didn't mean he couldn't do it in the future. Both Xiao Jinwu and he would grow up.

As long as he waits a little longer, even if he wants Wanling City to become a "city that never sleeps" with sunlight lighting 24 hours a day, it will be possible.
