Chapter 282: The Turning Point of Transformation!_2
This thing has always borne a fair amount of fruit, and even if left unharvested, it's fine.
[You obtained 4kg of Devil's Pepper]
The harvest is quite satisfying. Although inedible, it might come in handy someday.
Just like last time, the key to defeating the giant Ox-Carrier Serpent Dragon was using the terrifying power of the Devil's Pepper as a breakthrough.
"Who knows where we might encounter giant creatures again. Better keep it," Lin Yue said as he continued to the second greenhouse.
The center of the second greenhouse had a large tear; Lin Yue walked over and found the damage was substantial.
Later, some of the tomatoes and cucumbers planted there were uprooted, and the soilless cultivation kit was displaced by the strong wind.
Lin Yue carefully tidied up and found the losses weren't as bad as he expected.
He corrected the position of the soilless cultivation kit, removed wilted or broken tomato vines and cucumber vines, and then dismantled the entire greenhouse.
Rather than repairing this damaged greenhouse, it's better to build a new one.
Arriving at the survival electronic mall, without a second thought, he bought two greenhouses outright, spending 800 points and placing one back at the original site.
Soon, an intact and flawless greenhouse film reappeared before Lin Yue, while the old torn one was recycled for 10 survival points.
After cleaning up the various vegetables collected by the Little Ice Lizards, Lin Yue headed to the third greenhouse.
The section damaged by the gale was near the entrance, without much impact inside, except for some water accumulation. Lin Yue replaced it entirely and stored the round lettuce, carrots, and green peppers in his Storage Space.
Although it didn't take long, he did discern some issues.
Plastic greenhouses are indeed too fragile.
Perhaps it was sheer luck that the hurricane didn't hit his shelter directly; otherwise, the damage would have been far worse.
"The sturdiness of the greenhouse is an issue… plus, the current total planting volume is far from impressive," Lin Yue said, dissatisfied with these aspects, harboring many ideas.
He wished to find those large glass greenhouse structures, which are more robust and offer a more expansive giant planting base. The existing plastic greenhouses wouldn't withstand the disaster had he not enclosed them with walls and wire mesh beforehand.
Besides, the current yield is also an issue.
After checking his Storage Space, he realized the amount of fruits and vegetables wasn't as abundant as he imagined.
If he only needed to satisfy himself, there wouldn't be any problems, but if he wants to trade these over two hundred kilograms, it would only sustain a Refugee Village for a few tight days.
The world market has already opened, and how many would crave nutritious and precious vegetables and fruits?
Lin Yue didn't need to guess. He knew these would become the most rapid and firm hard currency!
However, these hard currencies don't seem to make much of a wave for now.
After all, the quantity is too small.
"Seems like more planting sites and seeds are needed..."
The Little Ice Lizards are already reliable in collecting. If the site is larger and the total quantity planted increases, they should be able to manage the workload.
Returning to the main shelter, Lin Yue began cooking and quickly prepared a barbecue.
If preparations have been made beforehand, barbecue can be easily made, especially with a luxury grill to maximize efficiency in producing grilled meats.
Letting Bai and Xiao Meng have a feast, Lin Yue glanced at the time and realized it was already afternoon, not early anymore.
Taking a deep breath, he decided it was time to proceed to the next step.
Sooner or later, it must be done, but acting early allows present life and advantages to progress further!
Though it seems a bit "trapped," he thought there weren't any losses, no matter how you look at it.
No matter how San Ye, or Meng Yutang, plans, Lin Yue was confident he would maintain control in his hands, not caught in a passive grasp that restricts actions.
Lin Yue sent out a message and soon received a reply from Fei Yue.
"Lin Yue, what's up? By the way, we found some alloy in the Secret Realm a couple of days ago and would like to trade for some vegetables."
Lin Yue thought, this guy hasn't changed.
"That's fine. Fei Yue, this time I contacted you about the Domineering People matter you mentioned last time."
Lin Yue was prepared.
This was a qualitative leap opportunity and the key to unlocking higher levels.
He intended not only to seize it but also use it to lay a solid foundation essential for survival in this Otherworld!
"Domineering People! Lin Yue, I'm ready."
Fei Yue suddenly jolted.
He knew the future direction of this Refugee Village might be determined in the next moment!
However, he maintained a pessimistic attitude.
Lin Yue is a lone wolf, some say an isolated figure.
A lone wolf is proud, unsociable, preferring not to connect with anything, favoring solitary combat against the world.
In this Otherworld, Lin Yue is indeed a special case, or one might say, he's an "anomaly."
If lone wolf survival was dominant early on, persisting post-disaster would be deemed an "anomaly," perhaps suggesting one is out of their mind.
Facing the harsh Otherworld, forming alliances should be a practical method, which indeed is true. Fei Yue dared not claim globally it's just Lin Yue surviving alone, but it's likely close.
There is strength in numbers; the more people, the greater the power.
Mutants that one person couldn't handle alone become trivial before a group; exploring the Secret Realm alone is prone to getting surrounded by monsters, while a coordinated group can simplify combat, collect more resources, and explore vast territories; facing disasters alone offers limited actions, struggling with food and crisis management, whereas mutual group support renders such issues insignificant.
Lin Yue, the lone wolf, astonishes all, making everyone feel the greatest truth of survival seems a joke before him.
He lives better than anyone, his provisions surpass any Refugee Village, and his combat prowess exceeds all.
No matter how mighty the giant creatures, how numerous the Levik army, how dangerous the Lizardmen and beggars, they all appear trivial before Lin Yue!
San Ye once said whoever captures Lin Yue would seize the initiative in humanity's survival or demise path in the future.
This man, Lin Yue, is destined to become humanity's guide, leading them back to Earth, becoming the greatest there is.
Yet San Ye also noted Lin Yue is hard to win over, uninterested even in leading their group of over a hundred, maintaining casual trade ties until San Ye's passing.
San Ye left one strategy before his death.
Make Lin Yue the Domineering Person of this Refugee Village.
Essentially, Lin Yue would act as a "client," issuing tasks. Their entire village would complete these tasks to earn "rewards" upon success.
These rewards are Lin Yue's endless resources!
If successful, this will be the first step for the Refugee Village to rise!
But after mentioning this, Fei Yue waited days on end.
He began losing hope.
How could Lin Yue agree?
This would bind the lone wolf to an indissoluble bond with the world.
"Fei Yue, I've decided. I'm willing to be your shelter's Domineering Person, but I have one condition."
Seeing the sudden message on the chat panel, Fei Yue felt his scalp tingle!
What? He agreed? He agreed!
Fei Yue shared this news, inciting cheers from everyone!
However, what is the condition?
