Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle-Chapter 585: Apocalypse True Rich Girl’s Cannon Fodder (56)
Chapter 585: Apocalypse True Rich Girl’s Cannon Fodder (56)
Luo Ning, leading a team composed of ordinary people, annihilated the zombie horde at the armory and was the first to complete her mission, astonishing many.
When the Superpower User teams returned and recounted the situation, everyone was even more shocked.
Had ordinary people, through training, truly become comparable to Superpower Users?
Especially after hearing that Luo Ning, relying solely on her own strength without using any Superpowers, killed a Fourth-level zombie, all previous sarcastic and mocking voices disappeared.
Instead, everyone showed a kind of realization.
No wonder Seventh Young Master Lu took a liking to her, Luo Ning was truly formidable.
Luo Ning also became famous after this battle and the ordinary people at the base, who had been observing, were stirred up and rushed to the team’s territory to sign up.
Although Lu Kai and the council members already knew of Luo Ning’s strength, they were still shocked to learn that she had killed a Fourth-level zombie.
Thus, the base further increased the resources allocated to normal people.
The status and treatment of ordinary people at the base also continuously improved.
Everyone knew it was Luo Ning’s doing, so they revered her as the Female War God with great admiration.
Another month passed, and Luo Ning was called to Lu Kai’s office.
Lu Kai, with gleaming eyes, looked at Luo Ning, "Xiao Luo, I heard you possess something that accelerates plant growth?"
Luo Ning had the team members rest and work at the farm during their usual breaks, planting food crops and the like.
Previously, they hadn’t taken it seriously, thinking that being self-sufficient was quite good already.
Only recently had they discovered that the grains, vegetables, and fruits produced on their farm not only tasted better but also matured several times quicker than under normal conditions.
That had caught his attention.
That’s why he had summoned Luo Ning today to understand more.
Luo Ning wasn’t surprised by Lu Kai’s question; after taking over the farm, she initially used the Ancient Well Water diluted many times over for planting.
The growth cycle was normal but produced higher yields and better taste.
Over time, she gradually reduced the dilution, and after becoming famous last month, she hardly diluted it at all.
It was intentional for Lu Kai and others to notice.
She nodded in confirmation, "Yes, I have something that can promote plant growth to about ten times the normal rate at its fastest."
Lu Kai was so surprised that he stood up abruptly, even accidentally knocking over a tea cup on the table.
"What? That fast?" he looked at Luo Ning, his face incredulous.
They had indeed received information that Luo Ning had something to accelerate plant growth, but they had no idea the effect would be so dramatically multiplied.
Luo Ning nodded, "Hmm."
"Can you reveal what you use to speed up the plant growth?" Lu Kai rubbed his hands, continuing, "We don’t want to steal your thing; we just want to understand."
"After all, nearly a year into the apocalypse, resources that can be collected in the cities are almost depleted; outside the bases are the territories of zombies and mutated flora and fauna, and we can’t cultivate more food."
"Now that the survivors have stabilized, the base’s food supply is nearly depleted, not enough for so many people to survive. We have been very troubled by this lately."
"Not only Kyoto Base, but the other four major bases also face the same situation."
"Of course, if you really don’t want to say, I won’t force you; after all, you are Lao Qi’s fiancée, and no matter what, the Lu Family will protect you."
He wasn’t playing on emotions, but speaking the absolute truth.
The Lu Family has always been protective.
Still, whether out of consideration for the base or the national survivors, in his heart, he hoped Luo Ning would reveal something.
Thus, he added, "If you can reveal it, it would be a great deed, and we will meet any condition you propose."
"Of course, provided we can fulfill it."
Luo Ning knew Lu Kai genuinely worried about the base and the survival of the national survivors and that it wasn’t for political performance.
Before revealing that she had something to accelerate plant growth, she had already consulted the system.
For 300 points, the system could help extract the Ancient Well from the space and station it directly at the base for everyone’s use.
At that time, her space would still exist, and she could continue to carry the items inside to the next Little World.
She could collect some Ancient Well Spring Water and store it in her space; its effects wouldn’t diminish, but it wouldn’t regenerate like it did currently.
Luo Ning wasn’t a greedy person; facing humanity struggling to survive in the apocalypse, she was compassionate.
Also seeking to accumulate good deeds, after much consideration, she decided to offer the Ancient Well directly to the nation.
Not only would Kyoto Base be able to use it, but the other four bases could also send people to transport and use it.
This would quickly allow for the planting of food in large quantities and would solve the survival crisis.
The system had mentioned that the regeneration of Ancient Well Water was not infinite; beyond a certain amount, the well water would gradually deplete.
That was perfect. Once the food shortage crisis of the apocalypse subsided, there was enough time before the well dried up for all the major bases to return to normal planting conditions and have food reserves.
With ample food supplies in the rear, the front lines could confidently fight the tough battles to exterminate all the zombies and end the apocalypse sooner.
Offering the ancient well could save countless people from starvation, accelerating the end of the apocalypse; Luo Ning felt this was a worthy trade-off.
One shouldn’t be too greedy; she learned skills in each world, not wanting to rely solely on external objects like the ancient well to make her way in Little World.
After all, only knowledge and skills one possesses themselves are permanent and cannot be stripped away.
Thus, Luo Ning honestly said, "I previously obtained a pendant and, unexpectedly, found an ancient well inside it."
"After experimenting, I discovered that plants grown with the well water, undiluted, could grow about ten times faster."
"Using it to feed livestock keeps them disease-free, healthier, more energetic, and improves the taste and tenderness of the meat."
Hearing this, Lu Kai’s face was full of shock.
"Is there really such a wondrous thing?"
First, he was shocked such a treasure existed, and second, shocked that Luo Ning would reveal such a secret.
Luo Ning smiled, "If zombies and Superpower Users exist, it’s normal for such treasures to appear too."
Lu Kai couldn’t help but nod, "That’s true."
"You telling me this secret, do you have a plan in mind?" he asked, his heartbeat quickening with excitement.
Yet, he didn’t harbor any greed, purely considering it for the sake of the surviving humans.
Luo Ning nodded, "I want to donate this pendant to the nation and then have it permanently placed at Kyoto Base, specifically for agriculture and livestock."
"I only have one condition, that the Ancient Well Water shouldn’t be exclusive to Kyoto Base; it should also be provided to other bases. You have to ensure that all the national survivors won’t starve," she said.
"Is that your only condition? Don’t you want to make any other demands?" Lu Kai asked, again shocked.
Luo Ning shook her head, "No, that’s my only condition."
At that moment, Lu Kai felt an indescribable admiration for Luo Ning. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Anyone who obtained such a treasure would have found it incredibly difficult to make the decision to donate it.
Keeping it for oneself as a means of profit would be the choice of ninety-nine percent of people.
Luo Ning truly was selfless; few people possessed such boldness.
Unable to contain himself, Lu Kai excitedly stepped forward and shook Luo Ning’s hand, "On behalf of all the global survivors, I thank you!"
Luo Ning smiled, "Alright, I accept this thanks."
That very day, Lu Kai urgently called a meeting and announced the news.
First, the entire council was shocked, then the whole base, and finally, the nation and the world.
Nobody had expected Luo Ning to be so altruistically bold.
It must be said, everyone thanked her.
Though some had ulterior motives, there wasn’t much they could do now.
They just regretted, had they known Luo Ning possessed such a treasure earlier, they would have risked offending the Lu family to seize it.
Now that Luo Ning had donated it, there was no chance to lay hands on it.
Many deemed Luo Ning foolish for donating such a priceless treasure.
Then came a wave of gratitude and admiration; not everyone possessed such courage and generosity, certainly not them.
The Luo and Jia Families, upon hearing the news, cursed Luo Ning behind her back for being brainless.
Such a valuable object, and she’d chosen to donate it without any benefit to herself, they didn’t even know what to say anymore.
Especially the Jia Family, both angry and envious.
If they had such a treasure, their farm’s development wouldn’t be a concern, and they could definitely become one of the top elite families at the base through agriculture.
They regretted not maintaining a good relationship with her when she first arrived at the base.
Luo Baomiao was so angry her face twisted when she heard the news.
Especially knowing the ancient well was discovered inside the pendant, she felt like a piece of her heart had been carved out.
No wonder she had felt that seemingly worthless pendant was important; she didn’t want to lose it, for it was such a treasure.
That bitch Luo Ning, taking her item and donating it to gain a good reputation, was utterly detestable.
If she still had the pendant, she could have shone in the apocalypse, using the effects of the Ancient Well Water to become a distinguished guest among the top powerhouses.
She would have been pursued by countless handsome and powerful men.
Unlike now, with a bad reputation and a life that was becoming increasingly worse.
She couldn’t accept this, she just couldn’t!
She further regretted not pretending she had lost the pendant when Luo Ning demanded it back in the beginning.
She regretted it deeply!
