My carefree life in space

Chapter 46 Forest Change

By the time everyone had finished digging up the entire sweet potato field, most of the day had passed.

Looking at the piles of sweet potatoes in front of her, Yan He was the first to lose her composure, "How are we supposed to eat this?"

He wasn't doubting the taste of the so-called sweet potato; after what happened yesterday, Lin Shushu was practically a goddess in his eyes. He was even more hoping to witness another miracle today.

Lin Shushu glanced at him, deliberately keeping him in suspense, "You'll find out tonight."

There were quite a few sweet potatoes harvested, but several people at the scene had spare parts, so taking them back wouldn't be a problem.

Even without a definite answer, Yan He was not disappointed; he had other things on his mind.

"Sister Shushu, you guys rest here for a bit, we'll go hunt some game."

Lu Cheng and the others also expressed their desire to go hunting, since this had always been their main goal. Now that they had been busy for half a day, they would feel uneasy if they did not catch some prey.

Lin Shushu certainly wouldn't stop them. After all, hunting was their main job, and it was already quite a feat that they were willing to waste most of the day with her and Mo Ze.

After the others left and she was sure they wouldn't be coming back anytime soon, Lin Shushu released her flying sword and carried Mo Ze into the sky above the forest.

This forest, though not as large as Sunset Forest, is not small either. It is home to all sorts of strange beasts, though their levels are not as high as those in Sunset Forest.

Indeed, this is the source of livelihood for most people on R15 Star, and the people of R15 Star are not very strong. If the level of the alien beasts is too high, they will not be able to live in the forest, and their lives will be even more difficult.

Like other planets in the interstellar space, the air here is filled with polluted gases, and animals and plants also contain a large amount of pollutants.

After humans consume these plants and animals, pollutants quickly accumulate in their bodies. If these pollutants are not purified in time, the human body will quickly deteriorate, just like the Yan family father and son.

Situations like that of the Yan family father and son are not uncommon in R15 stars. This is also why Yan He mustered up the courage to send a private message in the first place.

Lin Shushu came here this time wanting to lend a hand. Cultivation emphasizes cause and effect; if she helps others, she will naturally be blessed in return.

She chose to start with the forest because the people here mainly rely on the plants and animals in the forest for their livelihood. By purifying the air and the plants and animals, humans naturally ingest less pollutants, which can be considered a fundamental solution.

"Mo Ze, try using your spiritual power to purify the air here," Lin Shushu said to Mo Chen from the flying sword.

Mo Ze had been cultivating for some time but hadn't used his spiritual power much, so this was a good opportunity.

Following Lin Shushu's example, Mo Chen chose an area, calmed his mind, and released the spiritual energy within his body.

When pure spiritual energy encounters pollutants in the air, it immediately envelops them and devours them bit by bit, like a silkworm slowly eating away at them.

Seeing that it was working, Mo Ze became happy, and he knew very well what this meant.

He turned to look at Lin Shushu, his eyes filled with love and gratitude. As a soldier, protecting his country was a responsibility he always kept in mind, but this responsibility was not limited to the battlefield.

It was the sparse vegetation that brought him unimaginable joy. What a prosperous world it would be if all pollutants could be purified!

However, he wasn't blindly confident. The interstellar world was vast, and the two of them alone couldn't achieve complete purification. He certainly wouldn't let Shushu take risks just to quickly change the interstellar environment.

Putting aside the thoughts that had just surfaced, Mo Ze continued to use his spiritual power to purify the area.

Lin Shushu wasn't idle either; she was stronger than Mo Ze and could purify a wider area.

While the two were busy purifying the pollutants, the hunting party in the forest below sensed something different.

The forest today seems to give people a very comfortable feeling, as if the stale air in their chest has been reduced.

Many people thought it was just an illusion, and after a moment of surprise, they forgot about it.

But Yan Qing was different; he had previously taken a purification pill, and his body was free of pollutants. Therefore, he was the one who felt the reduction in air pollution most directly.

"Brother, I feel great today. My chest doesn't feel heavy at all. It must be the effect of the Gugu Beast meat last night," Yan He said smugly.

Actually, he wasn't wrong to think that way. After all, the meat of the Gugu beast last night had been specially processed by Lin Shushu, and nourishing medicinal herbs had been added to the soup, which was very good for people's health.

Yan Qing did not agree with his brother. He actually had a guess in his heart that the change in the concentration of pollution in the forest today might be related to the two of them.

Before he could think any further, Yan He tugged at his arm. "Big brother, look! There's a Gugu Beast up ahead!"

Yan Qing was helpless. Ever since he ate the meat of the Gugu Beast yesterday, his younger brother had been talking about it non-stop. He had mentioned it so many times today, but he was still so excited.

Without delay, he rushed towards the Gugu Beast. To be honest, he actually missed the taste from last night.

However, unlike his brother's optimism, he was a little doubtful whether he would be able to eat Lin Shushu's cooking tonight, after all, he had noticed Mo Ze's unfriendly gaze last night.

When their spiritual energy was almost exhausted, and estimating that the hunters would be returning soon, Lin Shushu led Mo Ze back to the place where they had parted ways.

Sure enough, not long after they returned, the hunters also gradually returned as well.

Everyone had a smile on their face, it seemed they had gained a lot.

As soon as Lu Cheng saw Yan Qing, he immediately came up to her and asked, "Qing, don't you think the forest is a bit strange today? It doesn't seem to have the suffocating feeling it usually does." As he said this, he realized something was wrong. "It should be the feeling we had when we went hunting this afternoon."

Yan Qing was surprised by Lu Cheng's keen insight. He secretly glanced at Lin Shushu and the other person but did not tell Lu Cheng his guess.

“I’ve noticed that too. This kind of change is ultimately a good thing. If you can’t figure it out, then don’t think about it. What did you gain today?” Yan Qing changed the subject and asked Lu Cheng about his gains.

Upon hearing this, Lu Cheng forgot what he was about to ask and excitedly told Yan Qing about his findings.

It's really strange, but today's harvest was more than the previous two days, which made him very happy. Finally, the food at home is no longer so scarce.

The group walked back in high spirits.

Yan He squeezed in front of Lin Shushu and said, "Sister Shushu, we hunted four Gugu Beasts today." He looked on with anticipation.

Lin Shushu understood his meaning, but having just agreed to Mo Ze's request last night, she wouldn't let him ask her for anything more. Thinking about what happened afterward last night, her pretty face flushed slightly; Mo Ze, that lecherous man.

Clearing her throat, Lin Shushu said, "Do you want to learn to cook so you can cook for yourself in the future?"

Yan He was taken aback. Oh right, Sister Shushu wouldn't be staying here for long. Once she left, he wouldn't be able to eat the delicious Gugu Beast meat anymore. But if he learned how to cook it, wouldn't he be able to eat it whenever he wanted?
