Chapter 131: Dinner, Experiment

Outside the Central Delivery Hub, a soldier came and reported to Lian Tianci. Saluting him, the soldier said, "Captain, except for Young Master Ye’s team, everyone has gathered."

Lian Tianci nodded, then looked at his watch. Seeing that there was still half an hour before the gathering time, he said, "Alright. Let the others have dinner first. We will leave as soon as they come back."

"Yes, Captain."

After the soldier left, Lian Tianci pressed the communication device on his right ear and said, "This is Lian Tianci. Young Master Ye, can you hear me?"

Two seconds later, Ye Xuan’s voice came through the communication device. "Yes."

Receiving his response, Lian Tianci continued, "Young Master Ye, we will wait for you guys for another thirty minutes. Please return before then."

"Understood."

Ending the communication, Lian Tianci went to join his subordinates for dinner.

Meanwhile, Ye Xuan and his team had just run past the Central Delivery Hub’s third exit point.

Glancing at his watch, he said, "Captain Lian said that he would wait for us for another thirty minutes. Let’s hurry up."

Hearing this, Liu Yun and the others nodded and ran faster. Thankfully, they had already cleared out the zombies in the area, so it didn’t take long for them to return to the convoy.

Ten minutes later, a patrolling soldier spotted them. Pressing the communication device on his ear, he reported, "Young Master Ye and his team have returned safely."

Two seconds later, Lian Tianci’s voice came through. "Roger that."

Finishing his dinner, Lian Tianci stood up and ordered, "Everyone, get ready to leave."

"Yes, Captain Lian," the soldiers responded in unison, then quickly gathered their belongings and got into the black military armored cars and trucks.

Seeing this from a distance, Ye Xuan said, "Let’s board the truck."

Without wasting any more time, the five of them dragged their tired bodies and climbed into one of the military trucks.

Five minutes later, Lian Tianci commanded, "Move out."

With that, the military convoy drove away from the Central Delivery Hub when the Blood Moon climbed up into the night sky.

Sitting inside one of the military trucks, Liu Yun panted heavily in the corner. Wiping the sweat mixed with dust and black blood from her face, she took out the plastic bag and placed it in front of the others.

Sitting in a circle, the five of them quickly counted the crystal cores they had collected that day.

Picking up the last crystal core, Gu Zhenwei said excitedly in a low voice, "563 crystal cores! Heaven! We actually found 563 crystal cores today!"

With the small hill of crystal cores in front of them, Liu Yun looked at the others and asked, "Should we divide them now?"

Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, "No rush. Let’s eat and get enough rest first. Younger Sister Liu, you help us keep these crystal cores."

"Alright." Liu Yun agreed, then put the crystal cores into her inventory. Combined with her 420 crystal cores, she now had a total of 983 crystal cores!

When she saw the number displayed in the first slot of her inventory, Liu Yun almost laughed out loud. Fortunately, she managed to hold back and coughed lightly to cover her laugh.

"Ehem. Everyone has worked hard today. To celebrate our first team fight, let’s eat something delicious tonight."

After saying that, Liu Yun accessed her Multiverse Farmland’s warehouse and moved one Basic Carrot into her inventory.

Recalling the huge size of the carrot, her hand paused as she thought, ’No, I can’t take it out directly. What if they ask where I got this giant carrot? I won’t be able to explain it clearly.’

Pondering for a second, Liu Yun’s eyes lit up. She looked at Lan Zuancheng and said, "Elder Brother Lan, you can rest tonight. I will cook dinner."

After fighting zombies and running around for the entire day, Lan Zuancheng was really too tired to cook dinner. Smiling gratefully, he said, "Thank you. I am indeed too tired to move right now."

Taking out four bottles of mineral water from her Dimensional Space, Liu Yun distributed them to the others and said, "You guys rest first while I prepare dinner."

"Mhm." Ye Xuan hummed, drank half a bottle of mineral water, then closed his eyes to rest.

Seeing this, Qiu Sixun, Lan Zuancheng, and Gu Zhenwei also closed their eyes to rest.

While they were resting, Liu Yun quickly took out the small gas stove and some kitchen utensils from her Dimensional Space. Thanks to Lan Zuancheng collecting these things from the gas station’s warehouse beforehand, they at least had decent kitchen utensils for cooking.

With her back facing the soldiers, Liu Yun put the small iron pot on the stove.

Just when she was about to pour a bottle of mineral water into the pot, she suddenly thought, ’I wonder if I can use the water from the small pond inside the Multiverse Farmland. If I can, then I can save some mineral water for the others.’

The moment this thought flashed through her mind, it was hard to ignore.

Putting her palm on top of the iron pot, she accessed the Multiverse Farmland with her mind. She closed her eyes and cleared her mind, then imagined the water from the small pond flowing out of her palm.

After trying for more than two minutes without success, Liu Yun opened her eyes and thought in disappointment, ’Looks like not all novel stories can be trusted.’

Just when she planned to give up, the System’s mechanical voice suddenly rang in her mind.

[Player, don’t you know that you can scoop the water using a bowl or basin?]

When Liu Yun heard this, she fell into silence.

"......" Although she felt that the System was hinting that she was stupid, Liu Yun had no evidence.

Coughing lightly in embarrassment, she whispered, "Thank you for your reminder."

Using her mind, she moved a basin from the Dimensional Space into the Multiverse Farmland. Afterwards, Liu Yun used her mind to fill the basin with water from the small pond.

Watching the water slowly flow into the basin, Liu Yun’s eyes lit up.

’I understand now. I can use my mind to control everything inside the Multiverse Farmland, just like how I control things inside my Dimensional Space, but I can’t control them outside the Multiverse Farmland.’

When the basin had filled with water, she moved it into her Dimensional Space, then took it out again. Seeing the basin of water appear in front of her, she clenched her fists excitedly.

’Success!’
