After Apocalypse, I Got Rich With Superpower

Chapter 79: Chapter 77

Chapter 79: Chapter 77

Pei Yuan told her a lot, including some directions of the Wood Power that she had never even considered before, which she could now try, as the development directions for high-level Wood Power users are quite broad.

There is no strongest or weakest among the Five Elements Superpowers, all the elements complement each other. Once you reach a high level, the difference lies in how thoroughly you have researched and how strong your abilities are, not in the inherent strength of your superpower.

It’s not correct to say that Water and Wood Elements are very weak, while Fire and Gold are very strong, and the rest are not worth considering.

For instance, Li Pan could now try Wood Power purification, to purify plants that are mutating abnormally, which could lead to surprises.

Purification means to remove the violent factors from plants that are mutating abnormally and to straighten out their Wood Element Factors, turning them positive.

Additionally, one can also control the flowering of plants with superpower, which doesn’t require companion plants.

Controlling the flowering season can manage the maturation time of crops, avoiding losses.

There’s also plant inheritance, communicating with plants through Wood Power to pass on knowledge, enabling the wisdom and memory of plants.

And Wood Summoning, which initiates the summoning process. Like summoning animals, when in danger, one can summon intelligent wood plants like tree spirits for support, but you must understand that what you summon could also be a powerful enemy that might kill you, so use it with caution.

Another is Verdant Life, which is about channeling Wood Power to give plants more life force, a high-level version that is the final step in the natural ebb and flow of prosperity and decline.

There are also defensive skills which can be learned, there are many of these, and Pei Yuan has records of them in his notebook, along with summaries of experiences of successes and failures in learning them, and next Li Pan needs to further her studies.

Xie Ling and Lin Tianyi were listening on the side, it was a bit profound for them – they understood the literal meaning but not the deeper operational experiences. This is the difference between tiers.

Pei Yuan collected the medicinal materials grown by Li Pan, affirmed her work, and even provided face-to-face guidance, explaining in great detail how to channel superpower into each medicinal plant, how to probe them, and how to make plants like you, which helps them grow faster.

Even though Zhang Qi and Li Pan both have Wood Powers, Zhang Qi’s combat-oriented power will be different in the future in terms of cultivation, as it may be too fierce and not all plants may like it.

Meanwhile, the Wood Powers of Li Pan and Xie Ling belong to the gentler category of the natural way, and most plants are likely to prefer the touch of gentler superpowers.

All these nuances will be understood as one gains more hands-on experience over time.

After two days of learning, Li Pan had broadened her horizons and was vaguely starting to understand. What remained was for her to conduct her own experiments and further learn how to use these skills through trial and error.

These medicinal materials were a success, the effects quite good, all thanks to her own explorations. To reach this stage on her own, Pei Yuan was very appreciative of her efforts, convinced he had not misjudged her talent.

Happy, he checked his phone and then returned to the base. He couldn’t leave the base for long as high-level superpower users with Zhenhua Level abilities also have the responsibility of defending the base.

Pei Yuan’s talent is Absolute Protection, which ensures the base is secure without much worry with him around.

This time, the medicinal materials earned a total of one million in money, and Contribution Points reached five hundred thousand.

Next, she still had to plant other medicinal materials, mainly focusing on low-level ones, with one or two middle-level that were fairly simple. Pei Yuan asked her to exchange and then plant them gradually. There was no need to rush.

Ginseng, cultivated separately, sold for a good amount of money. It was somewhat regrettable; the superpower was transmitted too roughly. Otherwise, the efficacy and age of the ginseng could have been further improved. It turns out that different attention to detail can lead to significant disparities.

This time, the medicinal materials were the main contributors to bring a wave of financial rejuvenation to the farm. Not only had the money spent on building her own house been recovered, but taxes had also been paid. Over two hundred acres of land had been cultivated on both farms, meeting the base’s requirements, and now both No. 8 Farm and No.7 Farm legally belonged to Li Pan.

With not much left to do, Li Pan started experimenting with the abilities Pei Yuan taught her one by one.

The first test was the Wood Spirit Sound, a unique method of communication where Wood Power users convey messages through the voices of plants.

Simultaneously, he also employed Root Sensing to perceive the spirit of the land and to obtain information about the soil, thus understanding the surrounding environment.

Li Pan slowly extended his superpower deep into the earth, touching every root and leaf with his power, feeling as though he was underground, watching the growth of the crops’ roots, and noticing a few plants harboring insect eggs.

Moving slowly and combining these two skills allowed him to have a clear overview of the conditions of both farms, including the underground situation.

Suddenly, he noticed a rat burrow in No.7 Farm, meandering and already having excavated a small area, he immediately opened his eyes.

“Sister Lin, go and inform Brother Shi right away. There’s a rat hole near the vegetable garden of No.7 Farm where the wheat is, and there are already rats inside.”

“What, I’m on it now.”

Lin Tianyi was startled, jumped up, and ran outside—what a joke, rats, mutated ones.

They would flood in like a tide, leaving no grain unscathed.

After pondering for a moment, Li Pan continued his detection and found that only this small area in the two farms had rats, also discovering a tunnel and a hole along the boundary line.

Xie Ling hurried to inform that side to repair it in time.

Alarmed by the situation, Li Pan immediately logged into the farmer’s homepage and opened a thread to explain the situation, asking the other farms to be vigilant for rats and hidden holes that were difficult to detect.

Responses came quickly, one saying “I dug up sweet potatoes the day before yesterday and found holes, No.8 Farm is right, they really exist.”

“I’ve found them too, but I don’t know how many there are, what should we do?”

“If a High-level Wood Power User or an Earth Power User can detect and discover them, timely remediation is possible, but only high-level superpower users can see them, middle-level can’t.”

“How much money would that require? I’m broke. The beginning of the year freeze caused heavy losses. I sold some grains for money and bought more livestock and a drip irrigation system, I don’t have any money left.”

“If you really can’t afford it, you might have to borrow money to pay for the detection; it won’t cost much. It’s still better than losing all your crop, isn’t it? Plus, No.8 Farm has already warned us. If we do nothing and a real rat army invades, what then?”

“Personally, I suggest an electric fence; we should also step up patrols within the farm. To protect our income, we need to be united, we can’t always rely on the base for help—they’re too far away for timely rescue.”

“You’re right. Everyone should work together and take action quickly.”

Having posted the thread and received everyone’s agreement, Li Pan then exited his phone and called the Base Commander.

“Uncle, this is Li Pan. I found rat holes in the farm, and other farms might have them too. Two have already seen the entrances. I’m worried about the crops being lost. Maybe you should send some high-level superpower users to check it out.”

“Okay, I got it. I’ve already spotted some dog and rat holes here too, and we’re busy dealing with it. Your warning came just in time; I’ll send someone to check it out today.”

The Base Commander had already detected the signs and was handling them when Li Pan’s call came through.

Having informed the Base Commander, Li Pan also sighed in relief, having done all that he could.

Xue Dong, knowing about the rat holes in the field, stood with his hands on his hips, sighing in frustration. When would this endless string of calamities stop?

Just when things had calmed down for a couple of days, here it came again. No choice but to buck up, he sent people to dig where Li Pan had directed, and sure enough, they found rats. Shi Lei was furious; despite patrolling every day, they hadn’t discovered them, and the rats had already stolen some of the grain.
