Chapter 123 - 121 Set Off
After chatting with Xue Dong for a while, Li Pan felt sleepy and hung up the phone, then slept in the treehouse.
Before going to bed, she absorbed two Crystal Cores to replenish her energy. Xue Dong was right; spatial teleportation indeed consumed energy, and now Li Pan had to absorb Crystal Cores daily to replenish her energy.
At the end of July, the Five Elements Spiritual Fruits and Earth Dragon Fruits ripened one after another. The Base Commander took a few Five Elements Spiritual Fruits, and an Earth Element child from the orphanage ate an Earth Dragon Fruit, which leveled him up to a Middle-level Earth Element superpower user.
The remaining four Earth Dragon Fruits were all taken by the Base Commander. Whom they were given to wasn’t her business, nor did she ask; she didn’t want to know so many secrets.
As for whether these Spirit Fruits were paid for with money or settled by other means, she hadn’t asked either. The Base Commander said to keep a tab for now, and they would settle up with her later.
She and Xue Dong, these children, really were raised by the Base Commander, during the hardest years when they were the most destitute, when he tightened his belt to save the food from his own mouth to feed them, the orphans.
To say the Base Commander was like a foster father was truly a title he deserved.
The resources of their farm were prioritized for the Base Commander’s disposal; this was an unspoken agreement. Anyway, the Base Commander would not wrong her and Xue Dong.
The development of Five Elements Spiritual Fruits to awaken superpowers was too important, potentially bringing her trouble. Leaving its disposal entirely to the Base Commander was for the best.
She was never good at scheming or fighting anyway. She simply did as the elders said, without asking about the superfluous.
