After Apocalypse, I Got Rich With Superpower

Li Pan soothed everyone’s emotions before she headed to the cafeteria to eat. The meals at Xinghai Base included seafood like fish and shrimp, but others had those dishes while she was given farmed fish, shrimp, and poultry meat.

Located by the sea, Xinghai Base relied on maritime resources for food, which made farmed meat a bit expensive for them due to limited space and many damaged buildings after the natural disasters. Now, as they are reclaiming land, they are adapting to their environment.

But it can’t compare to the plains, where poultry is slightly more expensive.

Usually, when you’re not short of meat, seafood tastes delicious. But if you’re starving and eat it without any grease, it feels like scraping your intestines.

People who are dieting and want to maintain their beauty consume fish and shrimp to fortify their protein intake, which speaks volumes.

If your stomach is not lacking and you eat it, there’s no problem—it’s about savoring the flavor. But if you’re starving and lacking that greasiness, then it’s not such a blissful experience.

Poultry was chosen for Li Pan, with just two dishes of fish and shrimp as symbolic tastes, indicating that they held her in high regard and treated her with great respect.

After the meal, Li Pan was taken to the dormitory to rest. She first absorbed a few crystal cores, then took a bath and went to sleep.

She slept until the afternoon before waking up.

After washing up, she went to the cafeteria for a meal and must say their base provided good food.

Having eaten well and rested a bit, she then proceeded to the infirmary area to continue treating everyone.

There were quite a few people to treat this time, about a hundred or more. Maybe because there were more injuries, the Base Commander thought it was rare to have someone come from so far, so he decided to deal with everyone at once.

The price given this time was also good. The seaside people were not short of money, and there were plenty of good things under the sea. There were many Water Power superpower users in this region, and even some unusual superpowers, such as the Water Element Frogman who could dive deep without being affected by the pressure of the sea, skilled at dealing with mutant beasts at sea.

This trip, she was given three million, along with a choice of a Spirit Plant seedling to cultivate on her own.

The main interest was in the Spirit Plant seedling, and it was only with this in mind that their own Base Commander agreed. Li Pan had become increasingly skilled at caring for Spirit Plants, and if she raised them well after bringing them back, the whole base would benefit.

It took several days of hard work to finish treating all the injured.

The last two had suffered psychic damage from the sonar emitted by undersea mutant beasts.

Treating psychic damage, she was no rookie this time and couldn’t make the mistake of mending inside someone else’s brain; instead, she "wove" in her own mind. Depending on the size of the psychic damage, she first outlined the area, circling the wound.

Then, she wove a piece of spiritual power fabric in her own mind, directly inserted it into the wound, stitched it up, and then proceeded with the healing, merging the stitched area with the patient’s injuries.

This way, the repair was seamless.

"Both of your psychic injuries are healed now, but you need to recuperate. Do not get injured again. Also, take some Spiritual Medicine or food that’s good for spiritual power to increase resilience. In simple terms, don’t get injured again before the old wound is completely healed. Next time, you might not wait for me, and you could die."

"Understood, thank you."

After the treatments, Li Pan went to visit the Xinghai Base’s market, where she bought two pearl necklaces, some amber beads, a large golden pearl, and a beautiful purple pearl she fancied and decided to buy.

The merchant offered her a very reasonable price when she learned that one of his family members was among the injured Li Pan had treated. He initially wanted to give it to her as a gift, but Li Pan insisted on paying a small amount of money.

She purchased some specialties from Xinghai Base, like farmed abalone, to bring back for everyone to try.

Finally, just before leaving, she went to select a Spirit Plant.

This time, he chose a Spirit Plant that was a speciality of the seaside area. After some thought, Li Pan finally decided on a sapling of the Spiritual Tea Tree.

It had strong medicinal value, capable of treating spiritual trauma. The leaves could be fried or directly steeped in water, beneficial for those with the Spiritual element and could replenish spiritual power, effective for everyone. Its gentle spiritual power had a miraculous effect of purification and sorting for all superpower users.

If one wanted to fry the tea, only Wood Power Users could do it. They understood best how not to destroy the Wood Element Factor, to bring out the greatest medicinal effect. Other people frying it wouldn’t work, as they would degrade the medicine’s effectiveness.

This was quite interesting. Li Pan was very interested in the effect on spiritual trauma and decided to take it home.

After finishing this, the Base Commander also gave him a gift, a bunch of Water Element Crystal Cores. It was a bit embarrassing since their base had an abundance of the Water Element, and other element cores were relatively scarce.

The Base Commander also placed a large order for goods from Li Pan’s farm, including Spiritual Medicines, with a deposit already paid.

"Base Commander, you’ve gone to too much expense. This is an Earth Dragon Fruit that I grew myself, please take one. The extras were all arranged by our boss. This is what the kid saved from his mouth to make my facial masks with."

Li Pan felt quite embarrassed. He had emptied the Base Commander’s purse on this visit, between the order and the treatment fee, amounting to nearly eight million. After getting approval from his own Base Commander, he gave an Earth Dragon Fruit to Xinghai Base.

"This is a real treasure. That old guy has a hoard of treasures. I know he’s the best at saving things. He had that habit since he was young, hoarding everything. There’s nothing he doesn’t stock up on, like a hamster," said the Xinghai Base leader.

The leader of Xinghai Base and their leader had grown up together; they knew each other very well and were the mutual guardians.

"This entire family depends on you elders to manage and support. One has to stock up on items, right?"

"That’s right. Kid, thanks a lot for this time."

"You’re too polite. Well, we’re off now."

"I’ll have someone escort you. Have a safe journey."

The people from Xinghai Base escorted them all the way to the next base before leaving.

On their return trip, passing by Snow Mountain Base, the several bandits had already been taken away by people dispatched by their own boss.

Li Pan treated several patients at Snow Mountain Base, which offered one million, two Spirit Plants. They didn’t have much money, but they made an order for some grains, fruits, poultry meat, and also bought some Spiritual Medicines. In the future, they might cooperate long-term to purchase each other’s goods.

The two Spirit Plants from Snow Mountain Base were not as high-grade as those from Xinghai Base, ranking as medium-grade Spirit Plants.

But Li Pan didn’t mind at all, feeling that she had gotten a great deal. As long as it was Spiritual Medicine, she wasn’t picky.

One of these medicines was an Ice Element Medicinal Material, effective for treating heat toxins and such. The other was Blood Ganoderma, useful for treating many conditions like weakness. They had greatly nourishing and gentle effects and could be combined with other medicines to make more effective pills.

She was particularly pleased with these two types of medicine.

The return journey turned out to be very smooth.

She had made two business deals on this trip. The subsequent goods would be delivered by the base’s personnel, as a long-distance delivery service. The base had its own transport team responsible for this type of resource exchange.

The farm only needed to pay the courier fee, and the rest was taken care of.

As long as there was work to be done, other people had job opportunities and money to earn.

Now, the farm’s goods were starting to be sold externally. Since the base was somewhat saturated, they sold them elsewhere, earning money from others to exchange for different resources and so on, enriching everyone’s baskets, improving the residents’ lives, and gradually connecting the cities, reducing barriers and promoting normal communication.
