After Apocalypse, I Got Rich With Superpower

Sun Ya followed the method Sister Li had just taught, and after quietly trying several more times, he finally succeeded in producing a flame. He cried out excitedly,

"Uncle, I have a superpower now, Uncle..."

Sun Ya’s eyes reddened, and he wept.

He was a child saved by the Base Commander, his parents killed by the Mutant Beast, witnessing their death right before his eyes, all to give him a chance to survive.

His obsession was to wield superpowers to avenge his parents, but unfortunately, he hadn’t awakened any, leading him to severe disappointment and lethargy. Later, he diligently trained his body, learning martial arts, firearms, and so on, hoping for a chance to enter the battlefield.

To stabilize him, the Base Commander promised that after he turned eighteen, he would be allowed to follow the team into battle, but before that, he had to learn combat skills to ensure his survival. That made Sun Ya obediently comply.

"Good boy, go find Qian Xi. His team is short on people. Follow your older brothers and learn your skills well, learning how to control and train your superpower."

"Thank you, Uncle."

Sun Ya wiped his tears, bowed, then turned and gave Sister Li a solemn bow of gratitude, "Sister, thank you. I can never thank you enough. If you ever need me, just say the word, and I will not hesitate."

"Good, train hard. You also need to strengthen your training in superpowers, don’t be afraid of hardship, and don’t rush."

"I will remember that."

Sun Ya wiped away his tears, ready to leave.

"Sun Ya, once you are outside, say you awakened your own superpower, and don’t mention anything else, including that you ever saw Sister Li,"

The Base Commander looked at Sun Ya seriously, instructing him.

"Don’t worry. I swear by my parents’ spirits in heaven, I will not utter a word."

Sun Ya stood straight and saluted.

"Go on."

The Base Commander nodded satisfactorily.

After Sun Ya left, Li Pan carefully made a note in her notebook.

"Uncle, there are a few more slots available, five next month, and also six Earth Dragon Fruits. You arrange the slots, Uncle. In my opinion, we should choose younger people. I suspect the success rate for older people might only be half. The energy from the fruit is not as strong as I imagined. I thought the Fire Element fruit would produce flames, but it didn’t, which suggests that its energy is pure and gentle, so we need to consider the failure rate, or maybe it’s related to the age of the tree."

"It’s probably related. I remember that the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit at least needs to be nurtured for over five years before it bears fruit. I didn’t expect it would bear fruit so soon; it seems your superpower gave it a lot of energy. My personal suggestion is to let them rest and recuperate for a year after this year’s harvest to see. We don’t want to ruin the Spirit Plants."

"Okay, I’ll observe more afterwards."

"I’ll arrange the hands for the others; give me half of the Earth Dragon Fruits, I have a few Middle-level Superpower Users with Earth Attributes who are advancing, it could save a lot of Crystal Cores."

"Okay, I’ll save four for you and keep three for my people."

"No problem."

Once they’d settled everything, Li Pan had other matters to attend to, so she took her leave and returned to her small courtyard.

Back in the courtyard, she instinctively channeled her superpower into the various plants growing there, watered them, purified and tidied them up a bit, and then teleported back to the Farmer’s Market. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Arriving at the shop, she saw Yang Zhengfei busy curing chickens, ducks, geese, and the like.

"Zhengfei, you’re busy."

"Sister, why are you here? Just take a roast goose back with you,"

Yang Zhenfa knew Li Pan loved the roast geese and marinated chicken he made; he brought some for her every now and then.

"Alright, I have something to tell you; it’s good news."

She pulled Yang Zhengfei toward the backyard.

"What’s the good news?"

"The Earth Dragon Fruit I planted has fruited. I’ve saved one for you, take a look."

"Wow, Sister, you’re amazing! I thought it would take at least a few years to see any hope."

Yang Zhengfei, surprised, carefully examined the fruit and indeed felt the Earth Element Energy within it, very pure.

"You eat it. I gave the last Crystal Core to Jiang Zhiping, this time I saved it for your upgrade."

"Okay, Sister. You take it back first, I’ll use it tonight after informing everyone. It’s not right to sneakily eat Spirit Fruit."

Yang Zhengfei had grown up and was becoming increasingly generous and polite in his social interactions.

"Alright, I’ll take it back first then. Come back early tonight, we’ll have a small meeting."

"Bring back a couple of roast geese and ducks, Yu and the others also like this kind of food."

Yang Zhengfei packed some roast geese for her to take back.

Li Pan took the items and returned to the farm.

Back in the Spirit Plant Area, she inspected the Spirit Plants and Medicinal Materials again. Finding no issues, she headed home.

She stored the roast geese in the refrigerator to eat later with the children.

Nowadays, Li Pan still lived and dined with Qin Jianzhong and the other veterans, while the new employees of No. 9 Farm went to the cafeteria.

She went up to the second floor and carefully inspected the other Spirit Plants under her care. One of them, a Potato Root, needed repotting. This plant was used for healing and detoxification, having a very strong detoxification capacity. It was among the top three detoxifying plants, effective against conditions related to the ice attribute, snake venom, plant toxins, and so on, known for its potent medicinal effects.

It could also be used in combination with other Medicinal Materials for medicinal baths, which helped strengthen muscles and bones. Every part of the plant—leaves, branches, roots—was valuable for medicinal use. Remarkably, its roots had a mild medicinal effect, making it a neutral and mild remedy, which was quite rare.

It was time to repot it now.

Li Pan carried the clay pot to the forested area, choosing an open spot just for it and sectioned off a large area for its exclusive growth.

Spirit Plants had different properties and were quite dominant; they didn’t allow other plants to grow within a significant range around them. Earth Dragon Fruit and Five Elements Spiritual Fruit, situated two kilometers apart, still clashed—who would believe it?

The Soul Cleansing Fruits were also growing well. These three of the same type could be planted together but not too close; they needed their own space.

The Soul Cleansing Fruits were doing well indeed, although they had yet to bear fruit—it looked like it would have to wait until next year.

After moving the Potato Root into the ground and infusing it with superpower to water it, she purified and tidied it up, calming its spirits before leaving.

Once planted, this Potato Root could spread its roots slowly and expand its branches. Being a bushy plant, it would grow into a small clump in three to five years.

After ensuring the Spirit Plants were well-tended, she returned home. Currently, these few Spirit Plants were enough to keep her busy; she decided not to consider nurturing more for now. Her thought was to first take good care of the existing plants, hoping all the fruits they bore would be top-quality Spirit Fruits, avoiding any substandard ones.

Once capable, she would then consider others.

Today, having some superpower left, she checked and purified No. 7 and No. 8 Farms again, practicing several Wood Element Skills to call it a day.

After using up her superpower, Li Pan picked up a cup of floral tea and a book and went to the gazebo in the yard. She read till she felt tired, then sketched a painting and took out her recent work plans for a thorough review, noting down the urgent tasks needing attention in the coming days.

Now free from physical labor, she was nevertheless engaged in meticulous mental tasks.

In the afternoon, Yang Zhengfei and the others gradually returned.

Taking the opportunity before dinner, Li Pan brought out the Earth Dragon Fruit to inform everyone.

"I’ve grown an Earth Dragon Fruit, and right now there’s only one, but there will be more soon. The Base Commander wants four; three are left. I plan to save this one for Yang Zhengfei, and the remaining two for those with the Earth Element. You can discuss among yourselves who needs it. If you can wait another six months, there’ll be more."
