Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 87 Ah Sao's Dream

"Since the original sun is no longer shining, I will create a new sun myself!"

Li Mu looked at the little golden crow in his hand, and a feeling of heroism arose in his heart.

The main reason for the arrival of the Ice Age is the dimming of the sun. If he can really create a new sun one day, then restoring the blue planet to its previous state will not be a problem.

But these are all distant things, and we should focus on the present.

Thinking of this, Li Mu put his hand back on the Fusang tree, and the little Golden Crow in his hand once again turned into a golden flame and returned to the tree.

"They should have all successfully broken through, right?"

Li Mu thought of the three people who took the Zhu Fruit, and couldn't help but think secretly in his heart.

……

"The last dish is here!"

“Braised pork elbow!”

Aunt Wang had a beautiful smile on her face and wore an apron around her waist. She carefully placed an arm-long porcelain plate in front of Li Mu.

On the plate was a reddish-brown pork elbow, almost as thick as an adult's waist.

This thick elbow obviously did not come from an ordinary domestic pig, but from a second-level mutant wild boar hunted by the hunting team.

Before the end of the world, wild boars were already common wild animals, and many areas would specifically kill a certain number of wild boars every year to prevent them from destroying farmers' crops too much.

However, after the end of the world, although humans still hunted them, there were only a few survivors and the number of hunts was limited, so the number of wild boars grew rapidly and became the most common mutant beast.

This wild boar eats everything, so it grows very quickly; plus they can give birth to a litter every few months, and each litter can contain more than a dozen cubs.

Nowadays, the number of wild boars ranges from dozens to hundreds. Every time the hunting team returns from hunting, the most prey they bring back are these mutant wild boars.

"Thank you, Aunt Wang. You can go back and have a rest. You can clean up the remaining debris tomorrow."

Li Mu said to Aunt Wang while gnawing on the pork elbow.

"That won't work. I'll clean up after you finish eating."

"I'm not sleepy yet. I'm going to go to the tavern for a drink after I'm done with my work."

Aunt Wang waved her hands hurriedly, thinking that she couldn't put off today's work until tomorrow.

When Li Mu heard that Aunt Wang was going to the pub for a drink soon, he couldn't help but smile. It seemed that it was the right decision to build this pub at that time.

A few days ago, he heard a piece of news from Yao Chengcheng that many people in Wanling City now meet up in the tavern for a drink after finishing their work.

After all, alcohol not only helps people get through the long dark night, but also has a practical warming effect.

The only trouble is that the stock of alcohol is running low, and many people are now drinking it with water.

When Li Mu thought of this, he silently added the task of creating a plant that can produce wine to his task log.

After eating the last bite of meat from the leg bone in a few bites, Li Mu picked up the tissue beside him to wipe the corners of his mouth and hands, then greeted Aunt Wang who was busy in the kitchen.

Then he went up the stairs to the top floor, where the four people he had just met during the day had been waiting for a long time.

Li Mu looked at the four people chatting and laughing, and asked curiously,
"What are you talking about? You all look so happy."

Hearing Li Mu's voice, Yu Shuaikang first glanced at him with a resentful expression, then sighed.

"They were still talking about their experience of piloting the War Treeman. They both thought it was great and unmatched." "Old Li, do you think I will have this opportunity in the future?"

Li Mu couldn't help but reveal a strange expression when he heard this, "So that's what it is, what's there to look forward to..."

"You have already broken through to the fourth level. With your strength, you are not much worse than the War Tree. Why are you so excited about driving the War Tree?"

Yu Shuaikang replied somewhat helplessly,

"You don't understand. My dream is to drive a mecha. And human society is now in this state. I probably won't have the chance to drive a mecha. But being able to drive a war tree is almost the same as driving a mecha."

Li Mu couldn't help but shook his head. He didn't understand why Asao was still thinking about driving the war tree when he was so powerful now.

But everyone wants something different. Since he wants to drive a mecha, it is not difficult to satisfy him.

"When I have time in the future, I will make you a tree man that you can drive, okay?"

After hearing Li Mu's promise, Yu Shuaikang quickly replied, "Okay, it's a deal!"

Seeing that the two had almost finished their conversation, Yao Chengcheng clapped his hands.

"Okay, now let's talk business. How should we pick someone up tomorrow?"

Li Mu looked at Fu Zikui and Zhang Tiankuo and said calmly,

"Tomorrow, you two will drive the War Treeman, bring Cherry Tomato and Morning Glory, and lead the hunting team to pick up people from the West Lake Shelter. The process will be the same as when I took you there today. Is there any problem?"

Zhang Tiankuo was a quiet person by nature, so Fu Zikui, who was still beside him, replied,
"We haven't tried to see if we can drive the tree man back and forth with our current strength. If we can't, I'm afraid it will delay important matters."

Having said that, he looked at Li Mu with some guilt.

"That's not a problem. I've already calculated it. With the energy of the War Tree itself, plus yours, a round trip is no problem."

"But in order to prevent any unexpected situations, you will come with me to get two more Vermillion Fruits in case of emergency."

At the moment when Li Mu merged with the tree man, he had already deeply explored the mysteries inside the tree man.

After some investigation, Li Mu discovered that the tree man's own energy reserves were quite considerable. Although it was not as much as his, it accounted for about one-third of the total, which was enough to support a round trip.

Li Mu still chose to let Fu Zikui and others drive the tree man, with the aim of controlling the tree man more effectively and speeding up its movement.

After all, the tree people's intelligence has not yet reached a high level, and they move slowly without external help.

The two nodded silently when they heard Li Mu's arrangement. If the city lord said it was okay, then there was no problem.

"That's it. You hurry up and collect the metals so I can start the experiment soon."

Li Mu looked at Yu Shuaikang and gave instructions softly.

"no problem."

Yu Shuaikang replied in a deep voice. He naturally understood the importance of this matter.

In Wanling City, residents can now enjoy various resources for free, but this situation cannot last long and can only be regarded as a stopgap measure.

After all, in this huge city, everyone's contribution varies. Some people pay more, some pay less, but the rewards they get are the same, which is obviously extremely unfair.

If things go on like this, those who contribute more will become dissatisfied, while those who contribute less may take the opportunity to be lazy.

Therefore, only by introducing a monetary mechanism as soon as possible, establishing the economic system of Wanling City, and implementing the principle of distribution according to work can we effectively avoid the occurrence of such problems.
