Chapter 275: Explosion
“Alright! From today onwards, you are my big brother!” Wuchen said heartily as he tapped his tablet.
“Haha, sure, then you are my young lady! Hedy, from now on you must call her ‘Miss’ and not by her name directly, got it?”
“Who would acknowledge that! What are you talking about?!” Hedy replied, somewhat flustered, her previously calm demeanor completely gone as she messed up her hair.
“This isn’t some madness, this is the understanding between men,” Wuchen said with a faint smile.
“First, you need to understand that you are a young lady!” Hedy lamented.
……
“Little sister, do you have any recommended places?” After finishing her task, Aima asked, as she had no knowledge of the changed Sun Wheel City, and could get into trouble by carelessly wandering around.
“Well… if it were before, I could ask a few acquaintances if I could arrange a place for you, but… recently, some changes have happened, and something went down in the Imperial City. If you go there now, it might cause even greater turmoil,” Wuchen recalled that the Shadow Lord had mentioned, about humans who had drunk the Rainbow Water.
“`
It shouldn’t just be Gal; perhaps those suddenly emerged Platinum beings were all fast-tracked by medicine.
This also explains why they all seem to have bizarre personalities.
“Really… then let’s go with that…” Aima took a breath, realizing they couldn’t live in the Dark Faction, right?
“However, you can stay at the Crimson Plain for a few days first.”
“Crimson Plain?”
“It’s this area, the desolate plain formed after the Sun Wheel City gradually fell into disrepair.”
Wuchen turned around and pointed at the village built by his brother Bling, explaining, “These Gray Wolves have only recently moved here.”
“Since the Contamination has already been fully controlled by little Hedy, I believe new resources will refresh here in no time.”
“Who is little Hedy?!”
Ignoring her protest, Wuchen continued, “Although they are monsters, they possess high intelligence, and they belong to a faction that welcomes humans. Moreover, I have helped them a lot; as long as they mention my name, or that of Starry, they will do their utmost to assist you.”
“Monsters…? Although Aima had noticed this before, hearing it for real felt somewhat unbelievable.”
“Yes, they are monsters, but they can communicate normally, just don’t know if you mind that.”
“Hehe,” Aima snorted lightly, unable to help but chuckle, thinking of how there were more absurd things than this; living with monsters? No problem.
“Okay, then I’ll talk to them later.”
“Thanks, little sister.”
“It’s nothing, big brother.”
“Please, can you change the way you address me?!” Hedy said, exasperated.
……
After giving Alu some instructions, he looked at the two influential figures and nodded like a little chick.
One was a girl who could face the Lord of Contamination, the other even more exaggerated, taking down the Lord in just a couple of moves—how could he disagree!?
He then went to arrange the matters concerning the newly built houses.
Hedy expressed that she wouldn’t take advantage and would have the contaminated creatures help with the work.
When the monsters appeared, they nearly scared the Goblins and Gray Wolves to death.
Fortunately, in the end, the construction of the monster village became even faster.
Thus, the affairs concerning the Crimson Plain should be coming to an end.
Wait… Wuchen remembered something.
The Summoner of the Void was the spoils of the Shadow Lord, and she had used it casually.
Wencheng certainly wouldn’t mind, as her first kill reward was already quite luxurious.
But… he hadn’t asked Fenghuayue’s opinion yet.
By the way, since morning, the name Fenghuayue in the friend list had been dim and dull.
—She hasn’t logged in since the morning?! For a gaming expert like her, that was quite a loss.
In that case, he could only wait for her to log in.
There was also one other thing; he sent a message to Wencheng, “Wencheng, where are you guys leveling up now?”
“At the Black Crystal Lava Lake, leveling my pet, what’s up?”
“The Lava Lake? Perfect, why don’t you swing by the Crimson Plain?”
“What happened?” Wencheng asked in confusion.
“Um… to explain, it would take a while, I’ll tell you later. I’ll take Moqin to pick you up; just use the God of Pangu.”
That’s right, previously looking at the description of that item, it contained the hope of life seeds.
Now, with the threat of contamination just lifted, using this item couldn’t be more appropriate.
“Okay, we are almost done leveling up here.”
After hanging up, he instructed Ziyu not to come over again and just to learn the new skills.
……
After more than half an hour, the Sacred Demon Beetle returned once again.
Looking at the greatly transformed Goblin village, several people expressed their amazement.
Wuchen remained noncommittal about it.
In the office, he found the Goblin Clan Leader and asked, “Alu, can I have my friends plant grain in the village?”
“Seeds? Hero, we’ve actually tried many times over these past few days, but ordinary plants can’t survive in this place at all…”
“Don’t worry, the Lord of Contamination is completely dead, and the Crimson Plain will soon welcome its rebirth. Moreover, those grain seeds aren’t anything simple.”
Seeing Wuchen’s serious expression, Alu nodded, “Alright, please follow me.”
Saying that, he stood up and walked outside.
Wuchen and the others quickly followed.
……
They arrived at an open area, which surrounded by no houses, only a simple fence.
The ground was covered with dead branches and leaves everywhere.
“Like this…” Alu pointed at these dead plants, looking troubled. “We’ve tried various kinds of plants, but none can survive in this barren land; perhaps… this land has been polluted beyond recovery.”
“Is that so… Wencheng, take it out and give it a try.”
“Mm.” She nodded and then took out the seed of protection.
Using a simple hoe found there, she softened the ground a bit and buried the seed.
Finally, she patted the ground with the back of the hoe, completing the task.
1 minute.
2 minutes.
5 minutes.
10 minutes.
Unlike in animated films, no towering tree sprouted; nothing happened.
“Hero… I think this might be a failure…”
“Wait, let me go get some water.” As soon as Wuchen finished speaking, he dashed outside in a rush.
“…”
……
An hour later, Wuchen came back, drenched in sweat.
“Still no response?”
“No…” Wencheng shook her head, puzzled, “Where did you go to get water, took so long.”
“Aren’t I worried that normal water won’t be suitable for it? I went to gather 200 buckets of Holy Essence Water.”
“Two… two hundred!?”
“Yep, let it drink to its heart’s content,” Wuchen said casually, his hand flashing with light as he conjured up a water bucket.
Splash——!
He poured all the spring water onto the ground, then collected the empty bucket and repeated the process.
“Wencheng, I’ll share half with you, let’s pour together.”
“Oh, okay…” Though it felt off somehow, Wencheng still complied.
1 bucket, 2 buckets, 3 buckets… until they poured all 200 buckets into the ground.
The surface finally showed changes.
A robust root emerged, growing thicker and expanding in size.
Even, it could vaguely be seen in a faint blue color.
“It seems it’s absorbing well!” Wuchen smiled, thinking he didn’t make the trip for nothing.
Strangely, after half a day, only this one root emerged, and he hadn’t seen anything else.
Could it be that the grain seed was bamboo? That doesn’t seem right, as bamboo doesn’t look like this in the early stages.
Five minutes passed, and the radius of the root had reached nearly 1 meter.
However, for some reason, the top of this plant was much thicker than the root.
It seemed to be expanding at a visibly noticeable speed.
“Wencheng… is it going to explode…?” A bad premonition came to Wencheng.
“Shouldn’t it? It should be blooming…” Wuchen said as he too was uncertain.
Because the top part had already begun to wobble precariously.
He could even see the Holy Essence Water inside through the green outer layer.
“Oh my god! It’s not going to throw up, right? This fellow has a bad appetite!” Wuchen suddenly grabbed Wencheng’s arm, wanting to run out.
At that moment, the top of the plant had already reached about 20 meters in height.
The ever-growing head finally couldn’t handle the moisture inside, SPLASH!!!!
That day, with a loud bang, the Crimson Plain welcomed long-awaited rain.
