Ch. 307 - The Endless Gashapon
Yang Yi entered the witch's laboratory. Inside, Suna was busy, seemingly preparing a new magic addiction potion; only one bottle was complete so far.
The other bottle required witch's blood, so she had cut her wrist and was currently mixing it.
With the regeneration potion as a base, the wound wouldn't be difficult to heal and wouldn't even leave a scar.
But if she could think of using her own blood to make a potion, it wouldn't be surprising if she used anything else.
Yang Yi turned his head to look at the Vitality Sardine Tree near the entrance.
It was tied near the entrance with a rope, one end attached to its tail, the other to the corner of the lab table.
"This thing grows pretty fast," Yang Yi remarked.
Because this tree had not only grown four legs, but even a small section of a fifth leg had grown out, hanging on its side.
It lay there, behaving like a dog, until Yang Yi looked over. Only then did it stand up, its mouth agape, almost barking.
"I need to remove one of its legs. Would it be better to muzzle it?"
Yang Yi asked Suna, who looked over.
"No need, I have one here."
She took out a complete Vitality Sardine leg. Its appearance looked like a small, curled-up leg, but the cross-section was extremely smooth. It didn’t look like it had been broken off; instead, it looked more like it had naturally fallen off by itself.
"This thing doesn’t look related to plants at all on the outside, but it’s actually a mimic. Its essence is still a plant. It produces fruit, and when the fruit matures, it naturally falls off."
Yang Yi looked at the fruit Suna had taken out, as well as the immature fruit growing from the side of the tree.
"So that means you don’t need to break it off. Will it fall off on its own?"
"That’s right. And it’s not aggressive at all. Its habits are more like a dog’s. So I’m guessing that if we take it out for a walk every day, the fruit yield might increase even further."
Suna added.
Yang Yi then turned his stiff neck to look at the Vitality Sardine Tree.
The latter was using one of its legs to scratch itself like a dog, scratching its smooth neck.....
Five minutes later.
Yang Yi accepted the task of walking the Vitality Sardine Tree.
According to observations, this tree could grow one to two legs of fruit every day. It would keep four of them for movement, while the other legs would fall off after they matured.
Holding onto a rope, he walked the tree around the deck of the Nightmare Star ship more than ten times, just like walking a dog.
"The more I look at it, the more it really looks like a dog."
Yang Yi complained as he watched the tree sniff around the deck.
But in reality, it didn’t even have a nose. Whether it actually had a sense of smell was a mystery.
After returning, Yang Yi measured it with a ruler and discovered that the immature leg had grown two more centimeters.
Moreover, a new leg had also begun to take shape, starting to sprout.
"Taking walks really can promote growth. That’s amazing!"
Yang Yi told Suna the results, then took out some delicious fertilizer and placed it on a plate, allowing the tree to consume it on its own.
As for water, it had to be poured directly into the flowerpot. After all, the tree didn’t have a tongue and couldn’t drink water.
After finishing everything, Yang Yi took out the Vitality Sardine leg from earlier and ate it. His energy instantly recovered by 20 points.
At the same time, a new idea emerged in his mind.
If the production of these Vitality Sardine legs was reliable enough, they could be turned into a signature product and sold through the shop.
After all, there were currently no fruits on the market with such a powerful effect. Not only could they restore 20 points of energy, but they could also accelerate energy recovery.
"By the way, can this fruit be planted?" Yang Yi suddenly asked.
"I tried growing it with the hydroponic method, but there was no reaction. You can buy a flowerpot and try planting it."
Suna answered verbally, but in reality, she didn’t even lift her head. She was completely focused on preparing a magic potion.
Anyone who didn’t know better would have thought she was making explosives.
Yang Yi didn’t disturb her. He left the laboratory and headed toward the deck.
However, a new plan had already formed in his mind.
I’ll let Shen Guanquan take a look tonight. The Farmer ship under his command has a seed identification function, so he should be able to help determine what this thing is.
If it can be mass-produced, letting him handle production while I take a share of the profits would actually be a pretty good choice.
After finalizing his plan, Yang Yi began today’s salvage operation.
He instructed Xiao Ji to have the robot squad move the mutated demon corpses into the Shelter Ship. The firearms that were still intact were placed onto the conveyor belt and transported to the port, where the skeleton rat swarm would assist with sorting and recycling.
Meanwhile, Yang Yi personally controlled the Nightmare Star, collecting the corpses and firearms and using them for gacha draws.
It might take several days, or even an entire week.
Regardless, repairing the ship required clearing out this garbage anyway, so the two tasks would not interfere with each other.
.............
The time reached 21:00.
Yang Yi had already been spinning the gacha for almost an entire day. His entire body had gone numb, and his face no longer showed any signs of sadness or joy.
