NOVEL NEXT Chapter 21 - Weeds
Many viewers saw Mai Dongzi’s movements and knew that she was filtering the lake water.
Regardless of which planet has life, desert areas represent drought and little rain. In this environment, the evaporation of lake water in the desert is very large.
The lake water or river water in the desert can only maintain its destiny of not disappearing if it is supplemented by underground water sources.
It is fine if the river water keeps flowing, but the lake water is constantly evaporating and replenishing. Over time, the lake water must contain some harmful ingredients for the human body.
Drinking such water has to be done in a short period, and it will definitely be harmful to the body over a long period of time.
In the case of not being able to carry filtering equipment, using charcoal to filter impurities in the lake water is the best choice. Many people still understand this common sense.
Mai Dongzi slowly filtered and clarified, filtered and clarified again, until the lake water became clear from the original slight turbidity, and then placed the ceramic jar containing clean water on the earth stove built with clay bricks and burned it with a big fire.
Those who have been following Mai Dongzi these days know that although this girl has just come of age, she has always been so neat and tidy in her actions, with a calm expression and an indescribable rhythm, which makes people feel comfortable. This is a trait that other adventurers do not have.
Therefore, viewers who are not so keen on seeking excitement like to watch her do things calmly. Viewers who know how to appreciate this calmness are also very patient people. Therefore, there are many people in the live broadcast room, but it is quiet and there is no barrage.
After boiling the water, Mai Dongzi used the boiling water to wash all the ceramic utensils. Then, she poured the remaining half of the boiling water into three-and-a-half-meter-high ceramic jars with small mouths and large bellies and then plugged the bottle mouths with the wooden stoppers she had specially cut.
Then she put two of the ceramic jars filled with boiling water into the space bag and put the other one in the cave. The boiling water was enough for her to drink for more than 20 days.
Next, Mai Dongzi used the filtered lake water to cook mutant beast meat and vegetable soup. She had hunted a lot of prey in the past few days, enough for her to prepare for more than ten days.
When she ate mutant beast meat on the first day she arrived at the Blue Water Planet, Mai Dongzi felt that the mutant beast meat, after two thousand years, contained more and purer energy.
Especially with this kind of mutant beast meat without superpowers, the energy in the beast meat is attributeless, which can not only enhance the body’s physique but also assist her in practicing two superpowers.
However, the second and third-level mutant beast meat has a very weak effect on her spiritual superpowers, but it has a lot of benefits for her weak physique and the second-level wood superpowers.
So she planned to take advantage of the opportunity on the Blue Water Planet to hunt more mutant beasts above the second level, whether she ate them herself or sold them in the future.
Anyway, she is not afraid of having no place to store them because the original owner has a space buckle, and the fresh prey placed in this space buckle will not deteriorate for at least one year.
Of course, she has to do it secretly because no one knows that the original owner has a space buckle.
The original owner’s grandfather, the former head of the Xi family, had always been indifferent to the original owner.
But for some reason, five months ago, before the old man died, he actually gave the original owner a 1,000 cubic space bracelet and did not let the original owner tell anyone.
Mai Dongzi checked on the Star Network and found that the space devices in this world are very expensive. A 1-cubic space device costs 10 million credits, and a 1,000-cubic space bracelet costs at least 2 billion credits.
The head of the Xi family also has such an expensive space device, but Mrs. Xi does not have one. Her space device is only more than 200 cubic meters, worth about 100 million.
Mai Dongzi couldn’t help but feel extremely lucky that the original owner was a very obedient child. At that time, the original owner didn’t know her true life experience. She didn’t tell the Xi family couple about this simply because the elders of Mr. Xi didn’t let her say it.
Therefore, after the old man died, no one else knew that she had such a precious thing in her hand.
The Xi family couple knew that the old man had a precious space device in his hand. After the old man died, it caused a storm because they couldn’t find it.
However, no matter how big the storm was, no one suspected the original owner. Because the old man’s attitude towards her has always been very cold, no one thought that the old man would hand over such a precious space to the original owner.
Based on the original owner’s memory, Mai Dongzi pondered the behavior of Mr. Xi, avoiding everyone and handing this space buckle to the original owner.
You must know that there are only a dozen boxes of special nutrients and a dozen earth-type supernatural crystal cores in this space buckle.
Mr. Xi is an earth-type supernatural, and the original owner is a wood-type supernatural.
From this information, Mai Dongzi estimated that Mr. Xi’s gift was probably just a spur-of-the-moment gift and was not prepared in advance.
Mai Dongzi suspected that Mr. Xi knew the true identity of the original owner. After all, he was the head of the Xi family eighteen years ago, and he couldn’t be completely unaware of what his son wanted to do.
Mr. Xi could not have failed to understand his son’s character. Knowing the true background of the original owner, he knew that the original owner’s future might be very bad.
So it is very likely that Mr. Xi suddenly felt a little guilty before he died and gave the original owner something to compensate.
After figuring out the reason, Mai Dongzi sneered.
The reason why she thought that Mr. Xi just felt a little guilty before he died was that if Mr. Xi really wanted to do something to the original owner, he should have arranged another way for the original owner instead of letting the Xi family head and his wife be used as pawns and degraded.
After all, no matter how precious this space buckle is, for a young girl who has just come of age, has no potential for cultivation, and is studying art, it is more practical to give her 10 million credit coins.
He never thought that, with the original owner’s identity, getting such a precious space buckle might be a disaster rather than a blessing. If it weren’t for the kid’s tight-lipped attitude and the careful wearing of the space buckle around her waist, she would have been murdered for money.
Mai Dongzi felt that, with Mr. Xi’s knowledge, he should have thought of these things, but was unwilling to think about them.
In short, Mr. Xi was only concerned with using compensation to appease his guilt before his death. At that time, all his property had been given to his children and younger generations. This space buckle might be the only valuable thing on hand, so he gave it to the original owner.
Mr. Xi, who only wanted to appease his guilt before his death, didn’t care about the original owner’s future and naturally didn’t care about the consequences of the original owner getting this space buckle.
When Mai Dongzi analyzed this information last night, she was always good-tempered and was so angry that she barely calmed down until the second half of the night.
Mai Dongzi thought that the reason why Mr. Xi ignored the plot of the Xi family head against the original owner was simply because the original owner’s father was an illegitimate child who was not recognized by the family, so they regarded the daughter of the original owner’s illegitimate child as worthless.
Mai Dongzi did not comment on the original owner’s father; after all, the original owner had no impression of this father.
But the most responsible party in the matter of the illegitimate child should be the romantic Mr. Xi; at least it was definitely not the original owner’s fault.
It can only be said that Mr. Xi and the Xi family head are worthy of being father and son, both of whom put their own interests first and are cold-blooded and ruthless.
