After Apocalypse, I Got Rich With Superpower

Chapter 96: Chapter 94: Barbecue

Chapter 96: Chapter 94: Barbecue

Wenwen was called back, as she was the closest and the fastest, and being a Middle-level Superpower User, she could heal some illnesses.

She assessed Li Pan’s condition and gave her basic treatment, shaking her head at everyone, “I sensed that she fainted due to spiritual power exhaustion. The nosebleed is due to excessive use of spiritual power. I can’t heal the Sea of Consciousness issue.”

“Go find Xie Ling.”

Xue Dong suddenly remembered that Xie Ling’s superpower was to heal spiritual power.

“Right, she has a peach… ”

Before he had finished speaking, Xie Ling had run back from No. 7 Farm, arriving a little later than Wenwen. Everyone had overlooked her ability.

“I’m here, I’m here…”

Xie Ling rushed into the room, panting.

“Get a cup, and a pestle for mashing garlic. I’ll mash the peach into juice and feed it to her to see.”

“I’ll get it.”

Gu Ye turned and rushed downstairs to bring the items up.

Xie Ling held a peach in her hand, looking like a juicy peach, the skin peeling off easily and the flesh inside was tremulous, turning to water at a touch.

She peeled off the skin, placed the flesh in a cup, mashed it into juice with the pestle, added a little bit of Wenwen’s water, mixed it into juice, and fed it to Li Pan spoon by spoon.

She continued until all the juice was fed.

Soon, Li Pan woke up.

“Sister, are you alright?”

“My head really hurts.”

Li Pan held her head, her eyes unfocused, feeling like there were needles pricking inside her head.

“What did you do to faint so suddenly?”

Xue Dong was really anxious.

“I tamed that Spirit Plant of the Five Elements Fruit. I didn’t expect it would need so much spiritual power. It’s my first time taming a Spirit Plant, and I lacked experience. I only realized the severity halfway through, and there was no turning back. If I retreated, it would have been a complete failure, and the Spirit Plant would have been destroyed. I just gave it my all. Fortunately, I succeeded in the end.”

“You’re really reckless!”

Xue Dong angrily scolded her.

Li Pan held her head, cautiously explaining, “I really didn’t do it on purpose, I was just trying…”

“You really scared us to death. When I came up, you had already fainted and were bleeding from the nose. I thought you were in danger.”

Liu Qian was also extremely helpless.

“Sister, that was too fierce.”

Xie Ling gave a thumbs up, fully impressed.

Li Pan giggled sheepishly, “Now I know why Spirit Plants need High Order Late Stage superpower users to tame them. Usually, the focus is on maintenance, slowly taming them over several years because there isn’t enough spiritual power.”

“Let’s go, let her be, don’t bother about her.”

Xue Dong, still angry, glared at her and shooed everyone away.

“Sister, this peach is for you to eat. Eat it and you’ll be fine.”

“Lingzi, thank you.”

“Go ahead and eat. It bore nine peaches, three of which ripened, and there are more to come.”

Xie Ling was very willing to give good things to Li Pan.

“No need to be polite then. But you mustn’t attempt to tame that Spirit Plant. Be careful, or you might end up foolish.”

Li Pan hurriedly advised.

“Hmm, I’m smarter than you.”

You’re already like this; I definitely won’t make the same mistake.

“Brother, bring me some food later. I’d like lamb chops with abalone.”

“Eat shit.”

Xue Dong was still mad at her, having been scared.

Gu Ye promptly agreed, “Don’t worry, I’ll make it and let Xiao Yun bring it up to you. Just rest.”

“Thank you, Brother Gu.”

Li Pan wasn’t afraid of Xue Dong and giggled sheepishly.

Xie Ling brought her some sour plum soup after a while.

Having eaten the peaches, she felt much better; her head was no longer dizzy. After drinking sour plum soup and taking a nap, although the peaches were effective, her spiritual power still needed time to recover.

She didn’t come downstairs for dinner either. Gu Yun brought it up to her, and she lay on the sofa upstairs, watching movies and playing mobile games.

After a nap, she woke up the next day feeling refreshed and radiant, as if nothing had happened. The two peaches she had eaten had not been in vain, they were indeed very effective.

“Lingzi, I’m fine now; your peaches worked wonders.”

“Really, that’s great, I’m relieved you’re okay.”

“Lingzi, I’ll teach you how to tame it later. We’ll talk about it when you get to the late stage; don’t rush it.”

“Ah, I’ve got it.”

Xie Ling saw Xue Dong’s face turning black and covered her mouth, giggling. Li Pan ran downstairs to show her the notes she had taken yesterday, and the two discussed them enthusiastically.

By breakfast, Xue Dong was no longer angry and kept serving her buns and vegetables.

“Don’t go out this morning, rest for another day. Take it easy with the superpowers, don’t be reckless again, and don’t waste Lingzi’s peaches.”

He glared at her fiercely.

“Okay, I tamed a spirit plant, so it’s worth it. Those are Five Elements Spiritual Fruits, everyone can eat them.”

Li Pan aimed for everyone to be able to enjoy these fruits.

“You were too anxious. Only proceed when you’re sure, this is scary. Spiritual power isn’t something that can be healed just anywhere. What if something were to go wrong, who would treat you then?”

Jiao Ming also shook his head, disapproving of her taking such risks.

“I was wrong, I really didn’t mean to, I couldn’t retreat, if I did, it would be a waste, not to mention the spirit plant would be ruined completely, it was hard to get in the first place. I won’t dare next time.”

Li Pan also admitted her mistake, acknowledging it was indeed a bit risky.

“Just play at home after you eat, take it easy, there’s not much to do, we can handle it.”

“Okay.”

After breakfast, everyone got busy. Qin Jianzhong went to deliver vegetables since the Patrol Team was a bit overwhelmed today, so he had to deliver to the base himself.

Li Pan carried her easel out to the yard to paint. Since she was free, she decided to bring out her painting supplies and have some fun.

The garden was lush with beautiful roses among several types of flowers; pink dragons, red, white flowers climbing along the wall, covering it entirely with various blossoms, and there were also purple ones.

In the yard, there were also flamboyant flowers, red and dazzling. In the spring and summer seasons, various flowers bloomed competitively, making the entire yard very beautiful with bursts of colors.

The yard’s green landscaping was specifically designed by a base landscape designer, ensuring scenery during all four seasons, especially as the Wood Element superpower could blossom even in winter.

There were angles formed by the four walls, and a fish pond in the center of the yard, each corner a unique view.

“Xiao Yun, let’s have barbecue tonight.”

“Sure, I’ll thaw the meat.”

“The frozen meat has labels from Sister Liu, get some beef and lamb out. After I finish painting, we’ll skewer them, and also get some chicken wings and vegetables.”

“I’ll get the meat.”

“I’ll pick some vegetables soon; the beef needs to be marinated.”

“I know, I’ll take care of it, just leave it to me, it’s not heavy work.”

Gu Yun kept busy.

Li Pan painted a scene from the yard using watercolors, looked at it, and chuckled to herself, thinking it was passable.

She didn’t fuss over whether it was good or not, the main thing was enjoying her hobby and having fun.

After putting down the painting board, washing her hands and brushes, she went to help Gu Yun with the vegetables, planning to eat grilled meat and drink beer that evening.

In the afternoon, after everyone finished their tasks, they came back and saw the barbecue stove set up in the yard, not yet lit, and knew there would be barbecue for dinner.

“I’ll help; should we start the fire?”

“Yes, use the pomegranate wood and peach tree wood. The fruitwood gives the meat a nice flavor. We’ve already marinated the meat, and most it is skewered, with beef and lamb skewers, as well as chicken wings and lamb chops.”

“Alright, I’ll do it.”

“Brother, go pick some vegetables. I think we need more leaves for wrapping, and cut some fruits too. Pick something you want to eat.”

“I’m on it.”

“Wipe the table down and bring out some fruit wine and beer. Let’s have a drink, just us brothers.”

Xue Dong called out, and everyone pitched in, busily preparing the barbecue.
