After Apocalypse, I Got Rich With Superpower

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.

After a few days, the Base Commander called.

"Pan’er, I need your advice on something."

"Go ahead. Do you need treatment?"

"Yes, this time it’s outside the base, at the Xinghai Base by the seaside. They’ve had a group of people injured, quite severely, including some High-level superpower users. They were said to have encountered a formidable sea Mutant Beast and suffered heavy losses. Someone pleaded with me to help. They offered money and Spirit Plants, and the Spirit Plants seem really good. It’d be a shame to miss out. What do you think, will you go? It’ll take about half a month."

"I don’t mind, but what about my Spirit Plants? They can’t be left alone for a day. They’ve just fruited and have been moved to the ground. I’m worried that problems will arise without someone to look after them if I leave."

Actually, Li Pan wanted to go; Spirit Plants weren’t so easy to come by, and opportunities should be seized.

"How about I ask Pei Yuan to watch over them for you while you’re away?"

"If Uncle Pei comes, that would be the best. Others can’t enter the forest area, and they wouldn’t know how to manage it anyway."

Li Pan hinted that they were all unaware of the Five Elements Fruit.

"I’ll have Pei Yuan go over, it’s convenient with the teleportation at home, and it won’t delay anything coming and going."

"That works."

After hanging up the phone, Li Pan went downstairs to speak with Qin Jianzhong and others.

"Brother Jianzhong, the boss wants me to go to Xinghai Base for treatment. The compensation they’re offering is good, but I’ll be gone for half a month. Uncle Pei will come to look after the Spirit Plants while I’m away."

"Okay, got it."

"Brother Gu, make sure the meals are good."

"Understood, leave it to me."

"When are you leaving?"

"I’m waiting for the boss to come and fetch me."

"Be safe on your way."

After arranging things at home, Li Pan still wrote a list, detailing the disposition and preferences of several Spirit Plants, like how the Earth Dragon Fruit enjoyed being stroked on its trunk and cajoled into playing.

The Five Elements Spiritual Fruit was haughty, strong and domineering; it required a gentle, flattering approach.

The Soul Cleansing Fruit, with three trees from left to right, each had different needs and personalities, demanding individual attention, including their emotional well-being.

The Eggplants were deep and steady, but they liked listening to her ramble in conversation. The soil had to be kept loose; they liked water but also endured drought. They favored sunlight but should not be scalded, so they had to be watered either in the morning or evening, as watering at noon would cause their leaves to yellow and roots to burn.

The other Spirit Plants also had their own needs, and Li Pan documented everything very detailedly. This included how she purified and combed through the energy of the Spirit Plants daily, twice a day without fail, soothing their emotions, keeping them company in conversation and play, lavishing them with various compliments.

After checking it twice and finding no omissions, he finally felt at ease.

The next day, Pei Yuan arrived. The care for Li Pan’s Spirit Plants was something other high-level Wood Element superpower users couldn’t manage.

The Base Commander didn’t trust anyone else with the task. The Five Elements Spiritual Fruit had already awakened five basic level ability wielders, all of whom were young and promising children with boundless futures ahead. There were still five more to go, making it ten in total. He couldn’t let anyone else ruin them.

"Uncle Pei, I’m troubling you."

"Why be so polite? I’m actually very interested in staying here for a few days. Take me to see the Spirit Plants, and we can have a face-to-face exchange."

"Alright, I’ve written you a note. If you forget anything after I leave, just take a glance and you’ll be fine."

Li Pan handed over the note.

Pei Yuan looked at it closely and couldn’t help nodding, "Good child, no wonder you were the first to be able to properly nurture the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit. You’ve really put in a lot of effort. Heaven favors the diligent."

"Such precious things, if they were destroyed in my hands, I’d be so heartbroken I’d hit the wall, how dare I neglect them? They are my ancestors."

Li Pan joked.

"You go with peace of mind, I’ll be staying here, concentrating on looking after it for a few days. I guarantee there won’t be any problems."

"Thank you, Uncle."

"How’s the progress of your superpower recently?"

"I’ll demonstrate for you, I’m not sure how far I’ve come, but I feel like I’m still quite far from Zhenhua."

"Let me see how far you’ve come."

Pei Yuan and Li Pan demonstrated their skills to each other, feeling the quality and molecular energy of each other’s superpowers, which also allowed her to directly sense how big the difference was.

It took a while before Li Pan stopped to wipe off sweat.

Pei Yuan frowned, "It seems that spatial teleportation still consumes a lot from you. It might delay your time entering Zhenhua. How about this, when you come back, I’ll take you to the forest to absorb another batch of energy for the Star Tree. We can’t let her suffer like this."

"Alright, I had been thinking of going to the forest in a few days. Uncle Wang just called, so it can wait a bit longer. I’m absorbing the Crystal Core, so I’m not under much pressure."

"Don’t worry too much about the farm’s financial issues. The Base Commander has left two million in funds in your account for support at any time. This time, with the illness, there’s money too. Rest assured, we are here for you; we can’t let you suffer alone."

"Mhm, Uncle, I know you treat me well. It’s just the Zhang Family from the rich district; I’m a bit wary of them. They are too good at scheming, it frightens me a bit."

What Li Pan meant was that she feared their tactics becoming excessive, as a whole family relied on her farm for food and drink.

"Don’t be scared. They wouldn’t dare. Now, your farm supplies nearly half of the base’s materials and food. If they mess up, they will anger all the residents of the base; without food, they would not let his family off the hook. Your Uncle Wang has been guarding against them from the start."

"That’s good. So many people are counting on me to pay their wages, feed their families. If he messed with my farm, I’d feel like I’m failing the people who’ve worked hard alongside me."

"I’ll be watching. They don’t dare to make big moves. There might be small tricks, but they wouldn’t dare to cause chaos."

"Then I’m relieved."

After entrusting the care of the Spirit Plants, Li Pan teleported to the base and set off in a car with Qian Xi, Liu Hu, and other high-level superpower users.

This time, there were many of them. They needed to escort Li Pan back and forth, not trusting anyone else with her protection; only their own people would do, all high-level superpower users, to ensure Li Pan’s safety.

Among the top ten bases, she was the only one with Absolute Healing, including the treatment of mental leaks. If a real problem occurred, that would be troublesome.

"Brother Xizi, Brother Hu Zi, I’ve brought some fruits and food for the road; we’ve got enough to eat. Here, have a peach." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Great, this peach is really delicious."

"These are Lingzi’s peaches; they grew in the yard. They’re slightly less potent than those she infused with her superpower, but they can nourish spiritual power. This time, twenty-something peaches grew, and Lingzi asked me to bring them and share with everyone as a thank you for your hard work and protection during our journey."

"The girl is getting more and more capable. Accepting kindness softens the heart; rest assured, we will definitely protect you well."

Liu Hu laughed as he ate the peach, and everyone gladly accepted the kind gesture with smiling faces; they were all acquaintodes with good relationships.
