Chapter 283 : Wow
Chapter 283 - Wow! (Volume 2 Ends)
While accompanying Ye Sheng through the flower and plant market, Gu Luoyu, who had just received a call from Dr. Na Nali, frowned and impatiently refused the other party, telling them to find someone else to be captain for the base.
When Gu Luoyu was still known as Erensu, she had no intention of fighting for power within the esper team. She focused all her attention on hunting pollution creatures and humans.
The reason she had wanted to transfer to another esper team back then was because she was too restricted within the base.
Unfortunately, due to her unique differences from other espers, she was listed as a research subject by the base research institute, which made it impossible for her to transfer successfully. She could only remain under the watchful eyes of the base officials.
Therefore, she had never considered being a troublesome captain before, and it was even more impossible now.
Moreover, the base officials thought they were quite clever, calculating their plans well... but unfortunately, her purpose for participating in the ocean exploration operation this time was to verify the strength of the pollution creatures in the sea.
It was not to build relationships with a group of irrelevant people.
Dr. Na Nali, on the other hand, had already anticipated this, so he was not surprised at all and did not try to persuade her further. Instead, he said goodbye with a smile.
After all, it wasn't his problem to worry about; it was the leaders of the base.
However...
As if thinking of a certain possibility, Dr. Na Nali's eyes lit up. He immediately had an idea and decided to have a good 'chat' with Jiang Sheng, who was in charge of the ocean operation, and perhaps gain unexpected developments!
“Ah Yu, come quickly, look, this flower can really smile!”
After finishing the contact with Dr. Na Nali, Gu Luoyu walked towards Ye Sheng's direction, not showing the bad mood caused by the interruption. Instead, she looked at Ye Sheng, who was squatting on the ground and exclaiming, and couldn't help but reach out and pat her head.
Staring intently at Ye Sheng, her red eyes flickered with gentleness.
The slow-witted Ye Sheng didn't notice. Her attention was completely drawn to the polluted plants. Although both polluted plants and polluted creatures had affected changes due to radiation pollution, some polluted plants did not pose a danger of actively eating people, making them generally much more 'friendly' than polluted creatures.
However, even so, one should not let down their guard... Although pollution creatures don't eat people, they treat humans like toys. Therefore, without a certain level of strength, it is not recommended to buy polluted plants for your home to prevent accidents.
Of course, for the polluted plants appearing in the flower and plant market in the inner city, their prices were bound to be high, unaffordable for ordinary people. This, in turn, prevents some dangerous accidents.
At this moment, Ye Sheng was surprised to see a half-person-tall flower. Its red and black petals bloomed layer by layer, and the huge flower bud was as large as three footballs, while the stem supporting the flower bud was only as thick as a baby's arm.
It was bare without a single leaf.
The stark contrast makes it look somewhat eerie, especially since the flower bud would sway and emit strange noises.
“Wow!”
Ye Sheng cupped her cheeks with her hands and couldn't help but exclaim. Looking up from below, the flower bud seemed even bigger, and she could even see teeth hidden beneath the layers of petals, flashing with a cold glint.
The boss beside her smiled obsequiously and promoted, “This young lady, I can tell you have excellent taste. This 'Tree of Yearning' is a very popular polluted plant recently. It's obedient and beautiful. Many ladies can't help but praise it when they see it. If you own this flower, you will definitely be sought after and...”
Listening to the noisy sales pitch in her ears, Ye Sheng couldn't help but twitch her lips. Did she look like a pushover?
Putting aside other things, just the sounds and teeth it made were enough for her to not dare to buy it!
The main reason she stopped to watch was because she had never seen anything like it before. After all, there were no street markets selling polluted plants in the outer city!
Everything here was too strange for Ye Sheng!
It could only be said that there was nothing unimaginable, only things that couldn't be done... But thinking about how many people in the inner city keep pollution creatures like pets, she had encountered many when going out shopping recently.
It made Ye Sheng even think about taking Ye Heiya out for a stroll, but Ye Heiya directly refused. Afterwards, it took Little White, the swan and the bird went to the rooftop to bask lazily in the sun...
And this vibrant flower called 'Tree of Yearning', perhaps it understood the boss's words, or perhaps it was simply displeased. The huge flower bud suddenly began to shake violently.
Then, a magical scene occurred. The petals seemed to move freely and rapidly change positions, quickly revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth. It roared at Ye Sheng and the boss.
The loud sound brought a gust of wind, making Ye Sheng stiffen. Just as she thought her ears were going to be ruined, nothing happened the next second.
This made Ye Sheng blink in confusion. Just as she thought it was all bark and no bite, she saw the boss on the side already clutching his ears and rolling on the ground in pain, clearly indicating that the flower had considerable destructive power.
It was only because Gu Luoyu had acted during the time that she was unharmed... Ye Sheng turned her head to look at Gu Luoyu, her dark eyes filled with little stars. As expected of her girlfriend, she was amazing!
Receiving Ye Sheng's admiring gaze, Gu Luoyu smiled. When she looked up at the 'Tree of Yearning' flower that had just attacked, with just a glance, the huge flower bud trembled timidly.
The exposed teeth were also retracted.
It even swayed its branches in a fawning manner.
Ye Sheng: ...
She never expected to see a sycophant materialized on a flower. It was hard to describe.
Not wanting to look at this opportunistic flower any longer, Ye Sheng stood up and took Gu Luoyu to other stalls to browse. The incident that had just happened seemed common in this flower and plant market, and the surrounding stall owners were accustomed to it.
However, when they looked at Ye Sheng and Gu Luoyu, their eyes unconsciously showed a hint of apprehension.
They didn't know what kind of background these two had, to be able to make the 'Tree of Yearning' afraid. It was truly a rare occurrence... Because they couldn't figure out the background of the two, the flower and plant bosses did not continue to enthusiastically promote their goods.
They were afraid of encountering tough customers.
And after seeing that no one approached them proactively, Ye Sheng felt relieved. She just wanted to look quietly and didn't need the bosses' solicitations.
However, because of what had just happened, she leaned closer to Gu Luoyu and whispered, “Ah Yu, that boss just now was so bad. 'Tree of Yearning' is so fierce, and he didn't mention a single word about it when introducing it. He even wanted to sell it to me...”
“Yes, very bad.”
Gu Luoyu responded cooperatively, satisfying Ye Sheng's desire to vent. Her cute little face immediately broke into a bright smile. Just as she was about to say something else, the smart network device on her wrist suddenly vibrated.
A message has been sent.
When Ye Sheng opened it, it was a link that required clicking to view, and the title of the link was [SS-level Mission Invitation Letter].
