Chapter 208 Interstellar Beauty (7)
However, Wangyou always believed in one thing: the emergence of a species must have its value, and besides, interstellar medical pods are not a cure-all.
However, there's nothing in this world worth forgetting your worries and striving for progress, so she wouldn't bother spreading traditional Chinese medicine or anything like that; she can just stock up on herbs herself.
Then, Wangyou, engrossed in digging for medicinal herbs, gradually went deeper and deeper until she was interrupted by a beast's roar.
"What is this thing? It's covered in scales, it looks painful to even touch." Wangyou looked at the ugly-cute creature in front of her, and after a moment of surprise, she remembered what it was.
This strange beast is called the Red Heart Beast. As the name suggests, it is red all over, inside and out, and the color never fades. Its meat is tender and delicious, and it is a rare ingredient in interstellar space. Most importantly, its heart is a kind of elixir, which is said to be able to reform people from evil. As for whether it is true, Wangyou does not know.
Seeing food, what to do? Of course, go get it! But instead of Wangyou, she threw out another mech. The mech took to the field and quickly took down the Red Heart Beast. Wangyou put it away, had the robot process it, and stored it in the warehouse.
Wangyou looked around and confirmed that she had run into the deep mountains. However, the deep mountains had their advantages: fewer people and more resources. Wangyou simply released a few more mechs to go hunting, while she and another mech continued to dig for wild vegetables and herbs.
During her herb-gathering process, Wangyou unearthed a considerable number of ginseng roots. These ginseng roots were rich in spiritual energy and possessed potent medicinal properties. Wangyou dug them up without missing a single one, planting some in her spatial dimension and processing and preserving the rest.
The moment a mecha makes a move, you know it's formidable.
Before long, Wangyou's warehouse was filled with all kinds of meat. Thinking that it was enough for the time being, Wangyou summoned all the mechs back. Anyway, it wasn't just this once, and he could stock up slowly when he encountered them again.
After checking the day's harvest, which included two sacks of wild vegetables, and noticing that it was getting late, Wangyou packed everything up, including the mecha, and quickly headed outside.
Upon arriving at the camp, Wangyou discovered that the people who had gone on the mission had not yet returned. She didn't care and walked over to the kitchen. "Could you please make a dish of wild vegetables with minced garlic tonight? I brought my own ingredients."
"Sure, no problem."
"Okay, I'll leave the wild vegetables here."
"So many?" Xiao Liu, who was in charge of cooking in the kitchen, saw Wang You take out two large bags and ran over to take a look. He saw that they were full of wild vegetables.
"Yes."
"There's so much. You don't need this much wild vegetables to cook a dish. Here, I'll take some out, and you can keep the rest!"
"No need, it's just some wild vegetables. You can have the rest, except for what I eat."
"I can't accept this."
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, just take it." Wangyou was too lazy to argue about some wild vegetables any longer and quickly slipped away.
Then we saw that there were a lot more fish and shrimp in the camp, and several older women and children were cleaning and packing them.
"Are these the seafood the hunting team caught today?" Wangyou asked curiously as she leaned closer.
"Yes, we had a good harvest today. Most of the ingredients were mid-grade. We'll get a good share after this mission!" the old lady said happily.
"I see!" After satisfying her curiosity, Wangyou got up and left. After all, the fish, shrimp, and crabs were still alive, and it wouldn't be good to get splashed with water.
Wangyou walked along the coast and encountered many people who came out to gather seafood. Whenever someone dug up some seafood, the people around would swarm up and dig around that person, and some would even snatch it from other people's baskets.
It seems that for people in interstellar space, no matter how respectable they are on the outside, they become extremely stingy when it comes to food, especially in situations like this where they're looking for bargains, regardless of whether they know the person or not.
Wangyou calmly watched the commotion for a while, then walked around the arguing crowd and continued forward. After walking for a while, Wangyou saw the soldiers fighting.
Unexpectedly, Long Ziling and his group had stretched their battle lines so thin. However, despite having the mecha she gave them, their efficiency in carrying out their tasks was so low. When Wangyou came to check on the situation, she realized that they seemed to not know how to use her mecha.
Because what Wangyou saw was that there were 15 people standing in front of him and 6 mechs in front of them, but they were only responsible for protecting these soldiers, adding some strength when pulling the prey, and driving away or catching the seafood that caused trouble.
Wangyou couldn't help but twitch her lips as she watched. With such a simple method of capture, why would she need a mecha? She could just do it herself.
"Forget-Me-Not, what brings you here?"
"Let me see how you guys use my mech. This is all you've gained in a day!" Wangyou said with a hint of sarcasm.
"This is the sea, and the mechs are actually more useful in the mountains and forests." Long Ziling took this into consideration, which is why he sent most of the mechs out to the mountains to hunt large prey.
"Is it possible that you don't know how to use them and haven't brought out the true combat power of the mechs?"
"Isn't this how all mechs are used?"
"Hehe!" Wangyou was too lazy to say more. The mechs on the market probably had fewer functions than hers. Oh well, seeing is believing.
Wangyou summoned a mecha from his pocket, then took out a water-based energy stone, fiddled with it on the mecha, and with a click, installed the water-based energy stone. Immediately afterward, the mecha changed color and turned blue.
"Go, go to the sea and catch me some high-energy fish, shrimp, and crabs, the more the better."
"Yes, Master!" After saying that, the mecha transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the sea.
"Now, just wait and see!" Wangyou found a clean rock, spread a blanket on it, sat down, and casually picked up an apple to start eating. As for sharing, that was out of the question.
About twenty minutes later, the sea surface suddenly changed dramatically. Long Ziling and his soldiers had already retreated, so the commotion did not cause any casualties.
Then, a mechanical head appeared on the sea surface, seemingly pulling something behind it. As it walked out of the sea step by step, everyone realized that this was the mecha that Wangyou had released, and that the mecha was pulling a fishing net-like thing behind it.
Wangyou didn't immediately put the seafood away. Instead, she showed it to Long Ziling and the others, and was satisfied to see their dumbfounded expressions. With a wave of her hand, Wangyou put all the seafood away from the net. At the same time, the mecha also put the net away.
"Did you learn it, Captain Long?"
"Your mecha is so powerful, but you didn't tell me."
"You didn't ask! I thought you knew how to use it!" Wangyou acted innocently; she had no idea that modern mechs weren't that powerful.
"It's my fault. I didn't ask clearly. I just saw that you installed a water-based energy stone. Can other elemental energy stones be installed? And will different elemental energy stones have different effects?"
"You guessed right, so keep it up! I can't miss out on my prey." Wangyou smiled and left.
