Natural Disasters Strikes: I stockpiled like crazy! novel Chapter 79

[Tier 2- Bingdi Lotus]

A twin lotus flowers that grows on a single stalk was said to be auspicious sign of good luck. Getting an open twin lotus flower as a gift was considered very rare and priceless.

Lotuses thrive in warm, damp, and sunny environments with lots of water, clay loams, and mud. Furong Lake was full of it but because of the flash flood, none should have survived.

But to think that this lotus that was submerged in the water for days without sunlight not only remained alive but rather look very lively too as if spring time just arrived for it.

The two cleaned the debris surrounding it.

The pink lotuses flowers are just any lotus that they have seen before with 10-12 large, round fragrant pink petals with yellow stamens around a sizable receptacle.

The only difference is that each of the seed pod only contains one seed.

"I’ll believe that this is what I’m looking for." Lin Weihao said, not mistaking the familiar energy he sensed from it. The light in his eyes darkened another tone, as if the sight of the beautiful flower only brought him bad memories.

"What happened?" Nanzhi asked.

Lin Weihao leaned closer and looked at the seed that appears to be covered in a thin layer of radiance. "After two years, another heat wave occurred and an alien beasts tide comprising mostly of Tier 4 to 5 aquatic alien beasts attack the Pearl City Base in the military region."

"The tide last for four days and it caused thousands of casualties including awakeners."

"A week after the tide, I’ve investigated the cause of it and found this place was infested with aquatic alien beasts. It took me another 3 days to wipe them out. Afterwards, I eventually came to know that a plant was the culprit behind it."

However, the plant in his memories was larger than this twin flower lotus, more hideous and intimidating seemingly resembling another alien beast with so many eyes.

2 years.

Nanzhi lowered her eyes.

She’s dead by then which explains to why she didn’t remember the existence of Bingdi Lotus in her past but listening to Lin Weihao, her heart became heavy.

Judging from Lin Weihao’s recount of the events, this plant would be more special than the salacca.

Lu Nanzhi used her game appraisal skill.

[Tier 2-Bingdi Lotus]

[The seeds enhance growth of plants, alien beasts and also assist in their reproduction. Its petals can be infused to make tea and it will improved mental power. Longterm consumption will also have benefits.]

Oh.

Nanzhi examined the seeds closer. She also hoarded lotus seeds before the disaster but she hadn’t planted them yet because the condition of the Virtual Farm is limited.

Looking at it now, this Bingdi Lotus’ seed is lighter in color and had a yellow crystalized coating resembling a synthetic sapphire stone, contrary to the ovoid and dark brownish ones she possessed.

Nanzhi also heard of mutated plants that have the same benefits before but normally, low-level mutated plants would only have one or two uses.

Her eyes rest on the second part of the system’s appraisal.

’Can the seed have a positive effect on awakeners as well?’

[The energy in the seed is too much for awakeners below Tier 2. If you want to consume the seed, you must at least be Tier 3.]

Lu Nanzhi guessed that she must need to improve her physique first.

If that is the case, Lu Nanzhi planned to transfer this lotus on the virtual farm.

The only problem is that, will the virtual farm that seems to have a limited setup would be able to grow it?

[You have an Upgrade Card among the loot, you can used it to upgrade the Virtual Farm.]

Suprised, Nanzhi took out the said card.

The card in her hand was palm-sized. Its texture was cool, shiny, and smooth. On its surface was a blue integrated circuit pattern, looking like a futuristic version of a credit card.

Lin Weihao didn’t seem to notice the card in her hand.

However, noticing the somber mood surrounding his body, Nanzhi said unaware of her tone filled with concern, "It’s good that we found it before it became a big problem. That unfortunate event wouldn’t repeat again."
