Chapter 152: Guoguo Chapter 152: Guoguo Except for Chi Yan, who chose boiled water, Su Yinhe and Lin Murong ended up picking the same pot with apple slices.
The water was a light yellow, with just a hint of sweetness.
“How is it? Tasty, right? I made it myself.” Lin Musen squinted his eyes.
“It’s quite good, but I still think eating the apples directly is better.”
She really wanted to teach Lin Murong the value of silence being golden. Lin Musen’s expression remained unchanged as he reached under the table and pulled out a box. Opening the box, it was filled with bright red apples.
He handed the box of apples over, “A fellow enthusiast, I too prefer eating apples directly.”
“But Guoguo has a few days each month when she likes to grow apples like crazy, and if I can’t finish them, I have to make them into apple slices or can them.”
“As for canning, I have a limited number of containers here, so I can only store a little. That’s why most of them are turned into apple slices that can be used as snacks or for making tea,” Lin Musen explained with a smile.
“That apple tree outside, it mutated, didn’t it?”
“Yes, that’s Guoguo. She’s a good apple tree; even after mutating, she didn’t harm us.” Talking about the apple tree, Lin Musen’s face softened.
Lin Murong looked at him, then at Su Yinhe.
Galaxy had a mutated supermarket, and Lin Musen had a mutated apple tree that liked to bear fruit.
Even though he was a good owner.
“Did your tree also get struck by lightning?” Lin Murong asked casually.
“Uh… looks like it was.” After Guoguo mutated, when there was thunder, she often attracted lightning strikes, but she seemed to enjoy it.
Like it was a massage.
At first, he was very worried that Guoguo would be killed by lightning, but after seeing how happy she was every thunderstorm, he stopped worrying too much.
“Ah.” Lin Murong sighed, the apple tea in his hands no longer tasting sweet.
Some had a mutated supermarket, some had a vast space ability, some had a well-behaved mutated apple tree.
Why couldn’t he have one too?
Could his luck really be that bad?
“Don’t be sad, brother. Here, have an apple.” Guoguo had been acting crazy a few days before and produced a lot of fruit. He had been given many, and he had already made quite a few apple slices, unsure when he would finish eating them.
He was not really in the mood to make more, but if he didn’t, he would have to watch the apples rot away.
This was absolutely unacceptable; he couldn’t waste food, nor could he squander Guoguo’s love for him.
Su Yinhe and her companions arrived at just the right time.
Since Lin Murong had been eating them for so long with no issues, Su Yinhe thought there should be no problem and also took one to eat, having already tossed the previous one into her space.
They were indeed very sweet, and juicy too.
Seeing Su Yinhe eat an apple gave Lin Musen an idea.
“Boss Su, we have so many apples here, would your supermarket be interested in them?” Lin Musen asked eagerly.
“I would like to exchange apples for some rice or something.”
The people at Apple Base weren’t short of apples; they could eat to the point of vomiting. But in the end, apples were just fruit and couldn’t replace meals. Besides, after eating apples for so many years, they were eager to eat something different.
Supermarkets had plenty of rice, and their base had plenty of apples. If they could exchange apples for rice…
“No way.” Her supermarket wasn’t lacking in apples, and they were unlimited.
Although the apples here were indeed sweeter and juicier than those in her supermarket, it was unnecessary.
Whether or not the apples in her supermarket were sweet didn’t affect her business.
“Why don’t you trade with other bases?” Lin Murong asked.
“It’s too far away. The apples would rot by the time you walk there on foot, and right now, everybody’s starving. Do you think they would want to exchange rice and flour for apples?”
“Don’t you have any Space Ability Users in your base?”
“Do you think Space Ability Users are as plentiful as apples, materializing out of thin air?” Lin Musen looked at him as if he were an idiot.
With just over a thousand people at Apple Base, having even one Space Ability User was a near impossibility.
It might happen in a population of tens of thousands.
Lin Murong couldn’t help but glance at Su Yinhe and Chi Yan.
Space Ability Users were so rare. How come he had two right beside him?
Could it be that all his luck had gone into meeting these two?
So that’s why he didn’t have a big supermarket or a big apple tree.
“You two… couldn’t be…” Lin Musen also noticed Lin Murong’s gaze.
Observation skills not up to the mark.
She had just tossed an apple into her space, and he didn’t notice?
Su Yinhe calmly nodded her head, and so did Chi Yan.
“Then you guys are quite… quite amazing.” No wonder they could bring a supermarket along.
Is this the ability of a Space Ability User?
Even more fascinating than his Wood Element Superpower.
Actually, Lin Musen knew that the supermarket was closed today and had stealthily sent someone to test it. The door of the supermarket was made of glass, and he wanted to see if it could be smashed open.
If possible, they would make a no-cost trade.
However, the person he sent came back and told him they had tried everything—smashing, fire, lightning strikes… nothing worked.
That fragile-looking glass door didn’t budge a bit.
Not even a single crack appeared.
Normally, upon hearing someone was a Space Ability User, he would have tried to coerce or tempt them to stay, or at worst, abduct them.
But his subordinates had already tested it for him, the supermarket… tough to crack open.
And the owner of the supermarket, definitely not someone to mess with.
So Lin Musen was being extremely humble now.
“How long do you plan to stay here? Our base is quite interesting; you might want to look around more.” Ideally, fall in love and settle down here.
“I’m not sure; it will depend on how I feel.” But Su Yinhe wasn’t planning to leave too swiftly; she had become interested in the apple tree.
She found it quite magical.
“Can that tree talk?”
“Guoguo can’t talk yet.”
“But I can sense her mood and thoughts.”
“That’s amazing!” Lin Murong exclaimed. The Wood-element Superpower Users in their base, despite also being able to control some plants, couldn’t sense the mutated ones or those that were too large.
The most powerful Wood-element Superpower User he had seen at Sun Base couldn’t communicate with such a large mutated tree.
The larger the mutated plant, the more deep-set its mutation, and the more volatile and unstable its emotions.
The slightest mistake, and the Wood-element Superpower User trying to connect with them could end up a fool.
Lin Musen’s ability to communicate with such a large apple tree was truly amazing.
Moreover, the apple tree was very peaceful, unlike other Mutated Plants he had seen before, which liked to play tricks and manipulate people.
“Not really. Guoguo is so obedient mainly because I raised her, and I used to talk to her a lot.”
