Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Growing Vegetables in the Villa

Yin Chengtian could never have imagined that Su Jin’s method for teaching him how to practice his Special Ability was simply tossing him a few seeds and telling him to make them sprout.

“Just like that?” Yin Chengtian was astonished.

“Find me after they sprout.”

Su Jin smiled, knowing that soon he would realize how difficult this practice was.

Yin Chengtian nodded, if the expert said it was useful, then it must be. He tried taking out a seed and placing it on his palm, then used the method Su Jin described to channel his Wood Element Ability into the seed.

2 minutes…

5 minutes…

15 minutes passed, and the seed was still just a seed, but Yin Chengtian was already drenched in sweat.

What’s going on?

Why is it not having any effect?

But Su Jin had said he could only find her after the seed sprouted. No, he would have to go back to his room to practice. It was just a few seeds; surely, he could do it!

“Is it difficult to speed up the growth of seeds?” Lu Hao looked at Yin Chengtian as he ran back to the annex building with a few seeds in his hand, intending to focus on his practice, and asked in confusion.

“It will be difficult at first, but I believe your people should have no problem,” she replied.

Su Jin had finished absorbing the wood element crystal core, but she felt far from leveling up.

“Hmm, Xiao Jin is really amazing,” Lu Hao complimented, ruffling Su Jin’s hair.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Su Jin’s cheeks turned bright red. Really, she wasn’t a child anymore, couldn’t he praise her in a more mature way?

Luckily, everyone else was busy absorbing crystal cores and didn’t see her embarrassment.

“Aren’t you absorbing a crystal core?” Su Jin asked with a cough.

“I’ve already finished,” he replied.

There were about seven Fire Element Crystal Nuclei, of which Lu Guanhai only absorbed three, leaving the rest to Lu Hao. Lu Hao did not hesitate to accept the offer from his father and absorbed all four crystal cores at once.

This was something Su Jin admired. She knew that, including herself, others absorbed crystal cores one by one, but Lu Hao could absorb them handfuls at a time…

“So you have nothing to do now?” Su Jin asked, tilting her head. If that was the case, perfect.

“Yeah, is there anything I can help with?”

There were still many things to do, but the one to prioritize today indeed involved something specific.

So under Su Jin’s command, Lu Hao started to weed the garden in the villa’s courtyard. Although he didn’t know what Su Jin was planning, he obediently did as he was told, trusting that whatever Su Jin did was right.

The weeds were quickly cleared by Lu Hao, and then Su Jin called over her uncle Lin Cheng, who had finished absorbing his crystal core, and asked him to help till the garden soil until it was loose.

Lin Cheng, who was just feeling that he had too much Special Ability energy and nowhere to use it, didn’t ask any questions. He used his Earth Element Ability to till the soil in the garden, discovering that he had become quite skilled at it; he had tilled the Spirit Field inside the space quite a few times, so this small garden took him only two minutes to finish.

By this time, the people inside the house had almost all finished absorbing their crystal cores. Seeing Su Jin and the other two working in the yard, they all came out to watch.

“Xiao Jin, what are you doing?” Su Xiangzhe asked, not understanding.

“Planting vegetables,” Su Jin replied with a smile.

Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone’s faces, Su Jin continued to explain: “Although there aren’t many people around here now, once the base is built, there will be many more. I’m worried that if others accidentally see us eating, it might arouse suspicion, so on the surface, we’ll grow some vegetables and fruits, which will also provide a good explanation later on.”

She knew that even after the base was built, food would only become more scarce. To ensure that the base’s food reserves could last longer, the distribution of food would gradually be reduced at first. In the end, one would have to go out on missions and exchange crystal cores for food.

By then, even a single grain of rice would be incredibly precious, not to mention the huge commotion it would cause if others accidentally saw what they were eating.

If anyone asked, they could explain that the vegetables were grown by themselves, and because they had two Wood Element Ability Users in the team, they could speed up the growth of plants.

Although it wouldn’t completely dispel suspicion, it would at least prevent others from continuing to doubt her Space.

“I see, Su Jin, your thinking is really thorough!” Liao Yifan admired Su Jin greatly, feeling she was almost prescient.

“It’s not all my own idea. I only thought of this after seeing Xiao Tian awaken his Wood Element Ability, and speeding up the growth of vegetables is a good way to practice his Wood Element Ability,” so all she had to do was supervise.

“Even if there is no base here, I think it’s quite nice living here,” Shi Jin said, having fallen in love with the place after just one day. There was no need to travel wearily, and the safety concerns were minimal; continuing to live this way didn’t seem so bad.

“It won’t stay this safe forever,” Lu Hao stated.

Now, a large number of zombies were being blocked in the urban area, and it was believed that it wouldn’t be long before a Zombie Tide formed. Moreover, the rain Xiao Jin mentioned hadn’t come yet.

They now had to focus on practicing their Special Abilities and upgrading their Special Ability Levels while also conserving their strength.

After hearing Lu Hao’s explanation, everyone nodded with a solemn expression, as danger seemed always to be brewing and might explode any day.

Lin Tianzhen and Huang Yunxiang, in order to practice their abilities, ran up to the water tank on the roof to release water again, and Mao Zhihang was also studying his Metal Element Ability. Su Jin gave him some advice, and he was still trying.

After counting the crystal cores, Guo Yang returned the storage bag to Su Jin and then started to sigh, saying, “Little sister, can you give me some advice too? Does the Space Element Ability only store things? Does it have no combat capability at all?”

“It does, but your close combat skills are also quite good. And that’s just what I think,” in Su Jin’s memory, Space Element Ability Users lacked combat abilities, but in her previous life, she had seen a Space Element zombie that could use the space’s storage ability to fight. It was just that this method was somewhat cumbersome.

“What method? Little sister, you must tell me!” Guo Yang pondered deeply but realized he couldn’t find any good strategies.

“For instance, you can store some heavy objects with lethal power in your space. When you encounter enemies, you can use them to smash,” that should count as a combat method, Su Jin thought guiltily, as that was a method used by a zombie.

“Good heavens, is it really that simple and brute? But it sounds useful! Thank you, little sister, I’ll give it a try,” Guo Yang imagined Su Jin’s method and felt that it could work.

Furthermore, Su Jin’s words also gave him some inspiration, only he had not found the inspiration yet. Space Element Ability, perhaps there are even more combat methods!
