Starting with a cub, the superpower boss becomes the richest man by lying flat

Chapter 230

After watching the soldiers drink the laced bitter medicine and see their condition improve, Lin Xin handed the stall over to Mo Ziyuan, then crawled into the tent for a good shower. Feeling refreshed, she lay on the simple bed in the tent and began to study her upgraded superpower.

She closed her eyes and found that the scope of her superpower had expanded considerably, even encompassing the mountains and forests some distance from the camp. Moreover, she could vaguely see the scenery in the mountains and forests from the perspective of the flowers, plants, and trees.

Tall trees and low grasses form a 360-degree surveillance range with no blind spots.

This discovery thrilled Lin Xin. It was as if she had a high-precision, all-range radar system in her mind. No matter where the Xirong people hid, as long as there were plants, she could find them all without missing a single one.

What made her even happier was that the upgraded ability could be replenished automatically by the surrounding plants. Moreover, not only her ability was replenished, but the plants that provided her with energy also benefited greatly. It was a win-win situation!

I wonder what triggered this power upgrade. Could it be because she absorbed the energy of the vines that used the Western Rong soldiers as nourishment?

No wonder no one could upgrade their superpowers beyond the top level during the apocalypse. One reason was the lack of a large quantity of "fertilizer," and another was that no one would think about destroying evidence after killing someone in the apocalypse, because zombies were already capable of accomplishing that task very well.

After experiencing the power of her upgraded ability once again, Lin Xin sighed briefly before closing her eyes contentedly.

Although she had already adjusted her body to its best condition when her superpower was upgraded, and she didn't feel tired at all, she still really liked to sleep.

The camp gradually became noisy, probably because the herbs she had "processed" were taking effect. She closed her eyes and rested for a while, and no one came to find her, which meant that there was no problem with the herbs, and that she could sleep soundly.

Lin Xin slept until the afternoon of the next day. When she woke up, she felt a bit dazed and confused, not knowing what day it was. She shook her head for a while before she was truly awake. Turning her head, she saw Mo Ziyuan sitting on the only stool, flipping through a stack of papers in his hand.

Hearing her commotion, Mo Ziyuan stood up and walked over, ruffling her messy hair. "Awake? Are you hungry?"

Before Lin Xin could answer, a gurgling sound like drumming came from her stomach.

Mo Ziyuan couldn't help but chuckle as he lowered his head and forcefully suppressed the upturned corners of his mouth. He tucked a stray hair behind her ear and said softly, "The cooks specially saved some food for you. I'll go and bring it to you right now. Wake up, wash up, and then you can eat!"

Lin Xin felt a little embarrassed, nodded with her head down, and listened to Mo Ziyuan's light footsteps getting further and further away. She belatedly realized that he must have gone outside to laugh.

She ruffled her hair in frustration, successfully making her already messy hair even messier.

It's okay. As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed. No problem!

After calming herself down, Lin Xin fell back onto the bed and punched the pillow hard. She then sprang to her feet and was back to her energetic self. She quickly washed up with the water in the tent and sat in the spot where Mo Ziyuan had been sitting, waiting for her meal.

Mo Ziyuan returned quickly, carrying a tray with two deep bowls larger than her face, filled with mutton soup. The rich aroma immediately wafted through the air, and Lin Xin's stomach pounded even louder, while her mouth watered rapidly.

"Eat up!" Amused by her greedy look, Mo Ziyuan patted her head and then pressed her down on the stool, handing her chopsticks.

Lin Xin had no time to care about his "mischievous" hands anymore, and started eating heartily. Only when both large bowls were empty did she put down her chopsticks with satisfaction.

After returning the bowls and chopsticks, Mo Ziyuan pulled Lin Xin back to sit on the bed, preparing to discuss with her the plan for the subsequent battles that Chen Lingyuan and he had discussed.

“I can control all the plants within a 50-mile radius. The Western Rong people are strong and well-equipped, so I think we can start by controlling their fodder,” Lin Xin said.

“Xin’er,” Mo Ziyuan looked at her with an extremely serious and solemn gaze, “Your abilities are indeed a great help to our soldiers. You could even annihilate all the Xirong soldiers by yourself. But I don’t want you to do that. Relying too much on your abilities is not necessarily a good thing for our soldiers.”

Lin Xin understood what he meant immediately. She also reflected on herself and had to admit that she had become a bit arrogant since learning that her superpower had been upgraded. She felt that she was omnipotent and had the illusion that she had the world under her control.

"I understand. From now on, when you fight, I will only be responsible for protecting the lives of most of the soldiers. As for the others, I will not care. Is that okay?" Being able to admit her mistakes and correct them is one of Lin Xin's strengths.

"Good girl!" Mo Ziyuan knew that Lin Xin was very sensible in such important matters.

"Get lost!" Lin Xin said with a laugh.

After finishing their business, the two chatted about all sorts of random things, and then a soldier came and called Mo Ziyuan away.

With nothing else to do, Lin Xin simply sat cross-legged on the bed and began cultivating her supernatural abilities.

Now her wood-type abilities have reached new heights, but her water-type and mental-type abilities remain stagnant, even weaker than during her peak in the apocalypse, which is something she doesn't want to see.

However, there was no large-scale water source or crystal core for her to cultivate, so even though she meditated for most of the night, the barrier that enabled her to upgrade her water and mental abilities remained unchanged.

"Sigh! Do I have to kill someone again?" Lin Xin tugged at her hair in frustration. "If this were a cultivation world, my method of increasing my strength by killing people would be considered evil cultivation!"

Lin Xin, who had stopped cultivating, lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Fortunately, her wood-type ability was already functioning on its own, so it was not obvious that she had been troubled for half the night.

She found Mo Ziyuan immediately.

"Xin'er? What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?" Although Lin Xin looked radiant on the surface, Mo Ziyuan could sense that she was tired inside, as if she was also feeling a bit sad, helpless, and aggrieved.

What's going on here?
"Are you free? I have something I'd like to ask you."

Seeing her serious expression, Mo Ziyuan didn't say a word. After instructing the soldiers behind him, he directly pulled her to the mountain forest they had been in before.

"Now you can tell me!" After sitting down under a thick, gnarled tree, Mo Ziyuan pulled Lin Xin into his arms and asked, playing with her long, dark braid in one hand.

"...That's the situation. What do you think I should do?" Lin Xin simply and clearly explained the problem that had been bothering her for a long time last night, and finally posed a thought-provoking question.
