How Am I Still Alive?

Chapter 33: Life Essence

"...Is this again? This time it's the Essence Fragment of the Toxin Module (Enchanted Ivy), and the Essence Fragment of the Regeneration Module (Enchanted Baobab)."

When Lu Ping An was free to pay attention to the system prompts, it was often an afterthought.

After another battle, the beasts on the ground began to turn to ashes, and Lu Ping'an had time to review his harvest.

It is not the first time I have seen the essence fragments of the XX module.

When he used Fengxianlei before, Lu Ping'an found that there were "essential fragments of explosion module (magic Fengxian in his sundries.

But it can't be used, 26 numbers are piled up in the system warehouse, and it can't be taken out.

[The investment target, the magic balsam, has died, and the investment has failed completely. 】

[Entering the liquidation mode, the remaining property is being liquidated... There is no sufficient property, and now the essence of life is extracted to deduct the debt. 】

[Successful extraction, get an unrated explosion module essence fragment. 】

That's all there is to it, no further details.

In Lu Ping'an's understanding, it means that my bank invested in you, and you went bankrupt or even died, and I can earn a little from your inheritance.

The recovered things become the assets of the bank.

"Very capitalist, very street lamp, but the question is how to use these essences?"

And the word "essence of life" reminded Lu Pingan of the gardener.

Bury the seeds and cultivate them carefully, waiting for the fruit trees to grow and harvest the fruits.

The three essence fragments have added up to almost fifty pieces, but Lu Ping'an still couldn't find a way to use it, and he couldn't even take it out.

He asked Chris, and she said she hadn't heard of it, didn't know, and wasn't interested.

Maybe she had guesses, but after she stopped the drama, she began to lack subjective initiative again.

"At least, it means that the life force I use out will still have a little reward. It's not a loss, it's not a loss at all. If you put it there, you will always find a way to use it in the future."

Now that I can't find how to use it, Lu Ping'an can only comfort himself like this.

Looking at the useless supplies in the warehouse and claiming to be good, he looks like a mobile game player who failed to draw cards.

"... Shall we take a break, or continue to go deeper?"

After cleaning the battlefield, Xue En came over and handed over the spoils left by the monsters.

According to the mercenary rules, he only has the authority to share after the fact, and cannot directly obtain the spoils.

Lu Ping'an packed up these first-order, zero-price loot, looked at the sky, and it was almost time for adjustment.

"Let's go, let's go to the main road and wait. I hope we can meet them today."

This is the third morning of entering here, and half of the precious week before the exam has been used up.

Lu Ping'an did not return all the way. With the cooperation of Xue En, he carried out hunting training efficiently.... Poor cat was released as a pigeon, but after one failure, it should not come again.

This is also something that can't be done. Cross-secret, cross-world contact is always an unsolvable problem.

Even if she came in to find someone by herself and spent too much time not to mention, there is a high chance that she will be lost.

But again, everything can be stopped, and investment and revenue cannot be stopped. That is the foundation of Lu Ping An's rapid growth.

"Is the buff this time for 1500? Okay, we accept it, will there be any tomorrow?"

"Not sure. It depends on the situation."

This is the main road in the forest area. Lu Ping'an and two first-order gardeners completed the transaction, and both parties are very satisfied.

Yesterday at the same location, the buff was given for free.

After all, in the limited time in this vast forest, it is not easy to find two gardeners who are willing to accept buffs from strangers.

One of them is a man and a woman, and they are all first-order students who came to experience training. The two classmates formed a team together, and they also brought two fighting companions or mercenaries.

Looking at the gardener classmates who left vaguely under the protection of his companions, Lu Pingan felt that Xue En's remarks might still be sentimental. The problem of low-level gardeners is not that they have no combat ability, but that they are simply a burden on the battlefield.

Among the fragments of memory divided into yesterday, Lu Ping'an has seen several scenes where two gardeners "bosses" are in distress and their companions are desperately trying to save them.

"...Those guards seem to have worked hard enough."

"This is the normal gardener. In fact, those companions are not at a loss. They use the combat experience and eat the gardener's income share, which is equal to the opportunity to practice with all-inclusive logistics and free treatment."

Low-level gardeners have no fighting ability. The goal of their training is to find, cultivate, and harvest various magical plants.

In the process of harvesting, spending money to hire combat power to protect oneself is the normal development style of a gardener in the logistics department.

From them, Lu Ping'an shared a lot of experience in cultivating and harvesting magic plants. Even the skill of using the gardener's three-piece suit has improved a lot, and he is more handy when controlling magic plants.

"Oh, it turns out that it's us who are abnormal..."

Talking and laughing, the two prepared to return to the depths of the woodland to continue today's training.

But suddenly, Lu Ping'an frowned, he saw something annoying.

The gardener group in front was stopped by someone, and a group of people blocked them. Some people were asking about something, and some people were saying something with the wanted warrant of the "exploding demon".

"...that group of chops."

Xue En took a sip, disdainful.

"Are they looking for the bomber again?"

Lu Ping An was thoughtful and pointed.

Hearing what Lu Pingan said, Xue En smiled.

Lu Ping'an's ability is there, he always thinks too much, he has long thought of it, but he chooses to play stupid.

"...Looking for the bomber? With a sketch you made at random? It's just a reason to make extra money, you see."

Things developed as Xue En expected. In the end, the two gardeners were crying and showing their loot and the bag of magic plants to show them, and they were finally picked away.

And this is not over yet, when they return, the tolls at the entrance and exit will not be less.

The group of dragons and snakes seemed to be too few, so they kicked the male gardener cursingly, and the two sides almost clashed.

But there were seven or eight people on one side, and only four people on the other side. Two of them were still a drag, and in the end they didn't fight... The gardener's small bag was missing another batch of things.

And when their eyes turned to the next target, Lu Ping'an and Xue En...

"What are you looking at, chops."

Xue En just spit on the ground, not enough face at all.

But the people from the Dragon and Snake Gang didn't seem to see it, and walked over on their own, ignoring Lu Ping'an.

"This....."

"It's just a group of people who bully the soft and fear the hard. If it wasn't for the people behind them, they would have been in trouble, long ago...hehe."

The person behind? There is actually a backstage for this kind of thing, isn't it just a few immature Mao guys getting together and pretending to be a dynamic social organization?

Lu Ping'an asked, and Xue En didn't hide it. This is a "secret" that all the old people here know.

"Isn't there a shop at the entrance of Luxin Pharmaceutical? They have a middle-level or a professor or something. They need a lot of low-level magic plant materials for testing. It's best to pick them fresh, and don't want to spend money, so... ...You know."

Lvxin Pharmaceutical? Isn't that the stall of Senior Sister Zhao Ying? Is it their professor, mentor or leader?

"...As for that? Just for that? No one cares?"

"Who cares? In the eyes of the people from Luxin Pharmaceutical, the entire secret realm is the property of their company. Just acquiescing to them can help them declare their ownership and authority, and do some dirty work along the way. Anyway, they can only offend. Newcomers, as long as they don't really cause people to die, it's okay if someone can't see it."

Seeing that Lu Ping'an was still somewhat incomprehensible, Xue En continued.

"For example, a certain enemy of Luxin entered this secret realm, and a high-level professional who called himself the 'Dragon Snake Gang' came in to kill. Brother nonsense, the world has never been a peaceful modern society, and many people will kill people at will if they feel troublesome. , to hire a mercenary, you must understand his character and sign a contract in advance, you are lucky to meet me..."

Senior Brother Xue En took the opportunity to make up the lesson for the younger brother, knowing that it was his kindness, Lu Ping'an nodded silently to indicate that he received it.

Lu's journey back to the forest was uneventful, but in the evening of this day, Lu's goal of this trip finally arrived at the time of harvest.
