Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 126 Mulberry Bow and Peach Arrow
Taking a deep breath, although Li Mu was very curious about the truth of the end of the world, it would be unnecessary to consider these things now. This matter involved the universe and was not something he could consider at all.

He looked at Wang Xingheng and said calmly,

"Let's just leave it at that. The truth is important, but even if your theory is true, we can't do anything to change it."

"Besides, the most important thing for us now is to survive. It is better to think about what to eat next than to think about these things. However, the information you provided is very important. I will give you a life without worries about food and clothing."

Then, Li Mu swept his eyes over everyone present and said in a cold voice, "This matter must not be spread outside, so as not to cause unnecessary panic."

Yao Chengcheng nodded, "Don't worry, I will take good care of it."

Seeing this, Li Mu said nothing more, turned around and walked up the stairs.

After he left, Yao Chengcheng looked around at everyone and said, "You all heard the warning just now. I don't want anyone to leave any comments about this matter outside. Keep your mouth shut!"

When he said this, his eyes became sharp and his originally kind face became very serious.

Seeing his expression, although no one answered, they all nodded silently to indicate that they understood.

"If there's nothing else, just go away. You stay here first."

Yao Chengcheng pointed at Wang Xingheng and gave instructions.

After everyone left, he looked at Wang Xingheng and said, "I will arrange a tree house for you to live in, and I will also give you another task."

Wang Xingheng was a little confused. When he first arrived here, he didn't know what he could do.

"You will work for the Department of the Interior in the future. Your job is to observe and record the stars and submit reports regularly."

After a pause, he thought for a while and said, "Your weekly salary will be 2 Silver Spirit Coins."

After hearing this, Wang Xingheng became even more confused. What kind of organization is the Department of the Interior, and what are the Silver Spirit Coins?
Yao Chengcheng saw his confusion, but did not explain too much. He just took out two silver spirit coins and handed them to him, saying casually,

"Just think of yourself as a staff member of the Astronomical Bureau before the end of the world. Don't think too much about the rest. As for the Silver Spirit Coin, it is a kind of currency exclusive to Wanling City. You can use it to buy the daily necessities you need in the store."

Wang Xingheng understood now that his future job would be to look at the stars, and he would also get a salary. However, he didn't know how much two silver spirit coins would be equivalent to before the end of the world, and what the prices in Wanling City were like. Would it be enough for him to live on?

Silent all night.

In the laboratory, after thinking all night, Li Mu decided to transform the plants that can produce bows and arrows first, so he looked at Hu Li and asked, "Do you know which kind of wood is best for making bows?"

Hu Li didn't think too much about it. "Mulberry wood, this kind of wood has excellent elasticity. It has been the best choice for making bow blanks since ancient times!"

He didn't know that mulberry trees were suitable for making bows. He only knew that mulberries tasted good and mulberry leaves could be used to raise silkworms. But he didn't think much about it and continued to ask, "What about arrows?"

Hu Li scratched his face and replied, "Cedar, peach, maple, etc. are all fine. As long as the material is hard, it can be used to make arrows."

Li Mu nodded and did not ask any more questions. Instead, he found peach and mulberry seeds from the pile of materials, walked to the table and started the experiment.

The seeds of the mulberry tree are only the size of rice grains, brown-gray in color, and are generally found in ripe mulberries.

He first scattered a seed into the flowerpot, then activated his ability. At the same time, he thought of the shape of the traditional wooden bow in his mind and secretly enhanced the toughness of the mulberry wood.

As the green light flashed, three minutes later, the seeds began to germinate and grow, and soon grew into a small tree more than one meter tall, which looked no different from an ordinary mulberry tree.

Then he continued to increase the input of source energy, and the small tree soon blossomed and bore fruit, but its fruit was no longer purple mulberries, but a wooden bow. This wooden bow was about 1.2 meters long and three fingers wide. There was no pattern on the whole, and it looked very simple.

Li Mu reached out and took off the bow, and then catalyzed a vine as thick as a little finger to wrap around both ends to serve as the bowstring.

Then he held the bow with his left hand and gently pulled the vine with his right hand until the bow formed a crescent shape, then suddenly let go.

With a "snap" sound, the bow quickly returned to its original shape.

"Little fox, come and try it."

As a fifth-level awakener, Li Mu's physical fitness has long surpassed that of ordinary people. He just pulled all the carpenters apart easily. Since he could not get real data, he wanted to let Hu Li, who had not yet awakened, give it a try.

Hu Li ran over quickly after hearing Li Mu's shout. Looking at the woodwork in his hands, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's done so quickly?!"

Li Mu nodded slightly. As he transformed more and more plants, his experience became richer and richer. Now transforming ordinary plants was a piece of cake for him.

"Okay, let me give it a try."

Hu Li reached out and took the wooden bow and began to pull it hard. After a few seconds, as her face turned red, the bow was gradually pulled apart.

Li Mu was a little surprised when he saw this. Is it possible that this bow is difficult for ordinary people to pull?

After a few seconds, the bow was half pulled apart, but Hu Li could no longer hold on, so he let go of his hand, looked at him a little embarrassedly and said, "Boss, I may not be strong enough..."

Li Mu was a little curious. Hu Li was about to wake up. Logically speaking, she should be quite strong, probably more than 100 kilograms.

But she could only pull the bow halfway. Could it be that the pulling force of this bow is two hundred kilograms?
"It's okay, the result is almost obvious now."

Li Mu did not hesitate. Anyway, the physical fitness of the survivors would improve as they absorbed source energy. The strong pulling force of this bow meant that it was powerful enough, which was also a good thing.

Without saying anything more, he turned around, picked up the peach tree seeds and continued to transform them.

Five minutes later, the peach tree transformation was completed.

The transformed peach trees no longer produce delicious fresh peaches, but wooden arrows about 70 cm long.

Li Mu walked forward and picked one, tied the vine to the tail of the arrow, then aimed it out the window, drew his bow and shot the arrow.

The arrow carried the vines away quickly and did not stop until it was more than seventy meters away.

Li Mu nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this. As far as he knew, a general traditional bow could only shoot arrows more than thirty meters away, but the bow he modified could shoot arrows more than seventy meters away, which was obviously more than twice as powerful!
Moreover, the bowstring he made was made of vines, which had poor elasticity and could not bring out the full power of the bow.

If the tendons of mutant beasts were used to make bowstrings, the effect would be better.

Then came the stage of naming, which was Li Mu's worst skill, so he could only ask Hu Li for help again.

"Little fox, give these two trees a name."

Li Mu shouted.

Hu Li rubbed his head and thought for a few breaths before replying, "How about calling them Mulberry Bow Tree and Peach Arrow Tree?"

I am bad at naming. If you have a good name, I will modify it.
