The End of the Extreme Dao: I Planted a Sacred Tree and Gained Immortality

Chapter 52 Wealth
Returning to his house, Huo Ying walked into the basement with the robotic arm and seeds.

Liang Yao did not disturb Huo Ying, nor was she curious. She just prepared dinner in the house.

After removing the wooden armor, Huo Ying put the mechanical arm on his right hand.

[Current power 100%]

The robotic arm lit up and attached itself perfectly to Huo Ying's arm.

Try to lift the box of charcoal in the basement.

The charcoal weighing more than 200 kilograms was as light as a feather when Huo Ying lifted it.

Using Wood Release to create a wooden stick, Huo Ying threw it out with force.

Bang.

The wooden stick hit the stone wall, exploded into pieces, and left a small hole on the stone wall.

The stone wall is the product of the fusion of Wood Release and Earth Release, and can block bullets.

Huo Ying used the mechanical arm and his own strength to throw out wooden sticks, which were more lethal than pistol bullets.

[Current power 99%]

"This thing is such a scam!"

Huo Yi used all his strength in that attack just now, and the battery of the robotic arm immediately dropped by one bar. The so-called 24-hour operation was a test conducted by the Academy of Sciences, which was far from being applied in reality.

Lightning Release: Charge.

Huo Ying controlled the electric current to penetrate into the robotic arm. Sure enough, the lightning escape technique could be used to recharge the robotic arm, and the power of the robotic arm was restored to 100%.

"It seems that I can replace more power-consuming products. In this way, I can fight like a perpetual motion machine." The experiment was successful, and Huo Ying was delighted. He raised his right arm, clenched his fist, and then activated his ability again.

Earth escape: hardening.

This time, Huo Ying applied his ability to the robotic arm, then swung his arm and smashed it hard against the stone wall.

Boom.

There was a loud noise in the basement, and the mechanical arm was unharmed. This time, the solid stone wall was cracked by Huo Ying's punch.

"Okay, the second experiment was also successful."

With the help of earth escape hardening, the robotic arm can attack and defend without being damaged. With the help of hardening, the overall parts of the robotic arm have become stronger and the durability has also increased. The only drawback is that the hardening technique requires chakra to maintain, and Huo Ying cannot harden the item permanently.

However, the chakra that the second-level sacred tree's protection gave to Huo Ying was enough for him to maintain the hardening technique and fight to his heart's content. The consumption rate and recovery rate were almost the same. As long as he did not release other large-scale wood escape techniques, the hardening technique could be maintained until the end of time.

"Very good. My goal is to collect a set of mechanical armor before the sacred tree is upgraded."

Huo Ying has already imagined that if he was covered in mechanical assistance all over his body, when he met an infected person like the black people, he would be able to crush the black people in hand-to-hand combat.

"Huo Ying, are you okay?"

Liang Yao said worriedly through the basement door. However, no matter how worried she was, Liang Yao did not try to open the door.

Huo Ying was very satisfied with Liang Yao's performance: "It's okay, I'll go up in a while."

Knowing the effect of the robotic arm, Huo Ying took out the seeds given by Luna from his arms.

Wood Release: Growth! Compared to the growth of poplar wood, the chakra required to grow seeds is almost negligible.

The seeds in Huo Ying's palm grew wildly. The next second, green peppers, orange carrots, yellow Jerusalem artichokes, white garlic and green onions scattered all over the ground from Huo Ying's hand.

Leaving a portion for future consumption, Huo Ying continued to catalyze. Soon, the vegetables matured and burst into seeds. Huo Ying harvested a large number of seeds, filling a wooden barrel with each seed.

"That's all I have to do with Luna. The rest is waiting for the courier to deliver the food. I guess Luna found something wrong with the poplar trees and suspected I had a secret recipe suitable for growing them."

In the basement, the seeds grew and matured, emitting an extremely strong aroma, especially the vegetables that Huo Ying obtained, which were served with strong-flavored condiments. For a moment, Huo Ying found it difficult to bear.

Bring some condiments up?
Huo Ying suppressed the thought and decided to let Liang Yao suffer.

Huo Ying walked out of the basement. Liang Yao had already cooked the rice and fried the potato chips. Huo Ying picked up his bowl and chopsticks expressionlessly and served the food: "The robotic arm still has some data to be tested. I'll go down first. You sleep upstairs tonight. If you have any questions, just knock on the basement door."

After arranging things for Liang Yao, Huo Ying went back to the basement and used the earth escape technique to build a stove and a stone table and chairs. Huo Ying made himself potatoes stewed with peppers and fried rice with green onions, and drank three big bowls of them.

"Ha, this is called eating, it's fun!"

Huo Ying breathed a sigh of relief, but then he changed his mind and laughed at himself.

In his previous life, Huo Ying would never order these two dishes in a restaurant. He didn't expect that he would only get to eat them once after living for nearly half a month.

"I don't know if I can ask the courier to exchange some live chickens and ducks, or even better, cattle and sheep. I've already got the vegetables, so I should find a way to build a farm and get some meat."

To be precise, compared to chickens and ducks, Huo Ying is more suitable for raising cattle and sheep. With Wood Release, Huo Ying has no shortage of fodder and can fully provide food for cattle and sheep, while the food for chickens and ducks is more complicated.

However, in today's world, cattle and sheep must be extremely precious and difficult to transport. Huo Ying just thought that it would be a great fortune if he could exchange them for chickens and ducks.

Also, after getting the animals, where to keep them is another issue.

If they were left outside, the skeletons of the animals would be eaten by black bugs overnight, but if they were to be raised indoors, Huo Ying had no idea how to do it.

"We have to go to the town's library. Even if there are no books about the shelter, there must be books about indoor farms in the town."

In the room in the basement, Liang Yao washed the dishes and lay comfortably on the bed. She hadn't felt so at ease for a long time. Now, every day she had things she wanted to do and people she wanted to help, and her life suddenly became fulfilling.

Slowly, Liang Yao fell asleep. In her dream, Liang Yao smelled the scent of seasoning.

Perhaps, this is what it means to find your own life.

Even in tasteless potato soup, you can still taste the aroma of onions, ginger and garlic.

The next day, at dawn, Huo Ying left the house and went to the library.

This time, Huo Ying's wooden armor did not protect his right hand.

Huo Ying looks very strange now. He looks like an ancient general in wooden armor, but his right hand is a high-tech mechanical arm. On the way, a canine infected creature discovered Huo Ying. It shrugged its nose and stared at Huo Ying for a long time, but did not dare to attack.

However, Huo Ying sensed the attack of the canine infected creature. The next second, it was shot into a sieve by a dozen wooden sticks thrown by Huo Ying, and then ignited by Huo Ying.

By now, Huo Ying has hung the crossbow clearly around his waist. This is to attract the enemy's attention. With the robotic arm, Huo Ying can work miracles with his great strength. He can use wood escape to throw out more than a dozen wooden sticks at a time. Huo Ying can even use earth escape to harden the wooden sticks, making them more penetrating in a short period of time.

The town library was easy to find, as it was right next to the school. Huo Ying lit a torch, pushed open the door and walked in.

The door of the library was not locked, and even most of the books on the first floor had been moved out. Fortunately, the first floor was full of teaching aids and political books, so Huo Ying went up to the second floor, which happened to be filled with encyclopedias.
