After Apocalypse, I Got Rich With Superpower

Chapter 83: Chapter 81: Learning

Sun Wenwen was also ready to advance, so Zhang Yu, who temporarily didn’t need a Crystal Core, gave it to her. In the farm, everyone could eat well and adequately, so nobody had to starve. With adequate nutrition, their bodies naturally felt ready to advance.

After advancing, Sun Wenwen had become a Middle-level Water Power user. She and Zhang Qi were both Middle-level Superpower users now, making it much easier for them to handle the market store issues.

Gu Ye, having some free time at home, taught Sun Wenwen and Yang Zhengfei how to cook. With winter arriving, besides selling some roast meats, they could also make lunchboxes – inexpensive ones containing meat, vegetables, rice, and steamed buns, with various choices available, which was quite good.

The leftover winter stock at home was taken out for sale as it was the farming offseason and people came from the base to buy things.

The Base Commander called and said that the Inspection Team that had troubled Li Pan last time had been dismissed. The female team member was thoroughly investigated and the people behind her were also scrutinized. It was said that many issues were uncovered and they couldn’t recover from it.

Upon hearing this, Li Pan just sighed without much reaction, increasingly convinced that only strong personal abilities could ultimately protect oneself.

She specifically took the time to explain this situation to the children in detail to let them have an understanding in their minds and emphasized that learning more abilities was always the right choice.

Gu Yun studied and learned accounting, but her gentle nature wasn’t suited for guarding the store, so she stayed at home and learned cooking and other chores from Gu Ye.

This was the only time of the year she could have some leisure to concentrate on training her Wood Power. Every day, she practiced various skills in rotation, becoming familiar with and deeply understanding the changes in her superpower.

All the mutated trees in No.7 Farm had been completely purified and positively mutated.

All individuals on the farm had undergone purification more than twice, and everyone felt significant impressions and changes, believing that advancing was just a matter of time.

Her Wood Purification ability had become increasingly proficient. She could feel the clear changes as the Wood Element Factor entered into trees, plants, and her body, which was very beneficial for both people and plants.

Thinking about it, she asked Xue Dong, “Should I inform the Base Commander about my purification ability?”

“Just mention it. He treats us and his own kids the same. There’s no need to hide it from him. The stronger your abilities, the greater your self-protection capability is, so there’s no need to worry,” he replied.

“Okay.”

Only then did Li Pan call and inform the Base Commander of the situation.

“That’s great news, Pan’er. Not everyone has this purification ability. Currently, only your Uncle Pei possesses this ability, and he is in charge of the base’s Spirit Plants and precious medicinal materials. As for purifying people, there’s no rush. If someone wants purification, they need to offer something valuable in exchange,” the Base Commander said.

Without any reason or offering benefits, the Base Commander wouldn’t help purify; it’s not like being sick.

“Okay, I will follow your arrangements,” she replied.

“Good child, just feel at ease. I’m here, so there’s no need to worry about security. Leave the other matters to me,” he reassured.

After hanging up the phone, Li Pan went to check on her medicinal materials.

She had previously eaten the Soul Cleansing Fruit, and she had planted the seeds, along with several unnamed Spirit Plant seeds given by the Base Commander, which she planted separately.

Those Spirit Plants showed no reaction. Li Pan had specifically asked Sun Wenwen to soak them with her Water Power before planting them, unsure if they would survive.

But all three Soul Cleansing Fruit seeds had sprouted, showing some hope at the moment, but it was hard to tell how many years it would take for them to bear fruit; she had never grown them before.

According to the Base Commander, these were forest fruits, and those that survived hadn’t yet fruited, estimating a long duration.

After being busy for a while, she finally got a chance to rest; Li Pan brewed herself a cup of coffee by the fireplace.

The coffee beans and the grinder were all gifts from the Base Commander during the New Year, only the rich district still drinks this beverage, no one in the slum cares for it, though it’s quite costly since the beans are rare, with only a few regions having some limited cultivation.

Li Pan found it quite novel and exchanged for some coffee trees to be planted at No.7 and No.8 Farms, mainly the Robusta coffee trees. This type of tree isn’t too demanding to grow, and can survive with care from someone with Wood Power, so the base planted these beans, all sold to the rich district.

It could be considered a cash crop, with a small planting of fifty Arabica coffee trees. Actually, it’s the type with a large share of coffee bean production, but its growing conditions are a bit harsh, it can’t handle too much heat or cold, needing warmer days and cooler nights.

The temperature must be just right, able to handle rainfall but not frost, and harvesting requires climbing up and down, too troublesome.

But the rich district has people who want to buy it, and the price isn’t low, either.

This set was last delivered to the Base Commander by someone from the rich district. He didn’t like it, he prefers tea, so thinking that the young people might like it, he gave it to Li Pan and Xue Dong.

When they brought it home, their family wasn’t interested, preferring tea instead, only Xue Dong and Li Pan wanted to drink it, so she moved it into her room. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

She placed it next to the bookshelf in the small hall on the second floor, occasionally taking breaks to sit down, have a cup of coffee, read a book, sitting by the fireplace, listening to the crackling sound of the burning wood, the explosive white noise being quite healing, unknowingly calming one’s mind.

There was also a beautiful pot of tea flowers on the table, which she had transplanted from the yard, to beautify and liven up the room.

Although it was the depth of winter, the tea flowers bloomed beautifully and gracefully, maintained by her superpower, providing a bit of Wood Power daily made tea flowers bloom dazzlingly; the white tea flowers looked elegant and pleasing to the eyes.

After reading a while and feeling tired, Li Pan took out a paintbrush to start painting, bought from a store, not too expensive, as few learn this nowadays.

She painted various Chinese herbs, marking their names, effects, growing conditions, how to plant them, temperature requirements, and changes after incorporating superpower, detailing specifics.

Planning to follow Uncle Pei’s method, she also started making a planting notebook, beginning with medicinal materials. She’ll document the crops later, adding pictures eventually.

These notes also counted as personal experience, making it easier to spot any gaps.

Including the progression from Basic Level to Middle-level then to High-level, the changes in skills, listing specific examples, everything was detailed, reflecting her personal journey and insights.

Uncle Pei wrote about his own experiences, while Li Pan believed her records, being truthful and thorough insights from the Star Tree lineage, were different and valuable.

She even asked Zhang Qi, Xie Ling, and Lin Tianyi to make notes. Lin Tianyi already kept records for personal superpower research; it wasn’t just her making efforts, everyone was quietly striving to advance, aiming to protect themselves through strength.

Zhang Qi had an awakening with offensive Wood Power, providing valuable research, while Xie Ling belonged to the gentler Spiritual type of healing, both bearing referential value; following Li Pan’s requirements, they documented their daily experiences and feelings using superpowers, the kids grew quickly.

Before she realized it, Li Pan had been writing for over an hour, and nodding slightly at the accuracy of the drawings, she finally stopped.

Noticing it was almost dinner time, she put away her materials and went downstairs after washing her hands.

“Dinner’s ready.”

Gu Ye had brought the dishes up while Li Pan hurried to the kitchen to serve the food.

“Where are they?”

“Called them already, they’ll be back soon. They said they were picking some vegetables from the greenhouse.”

“Some vegetables should be ripe by now.”
