Chapter 275 The World Before the Apocalypse!
The hawthorn, jujube, apple, and pear trees, which were originally somewhat withered and listless...
Everything instantly came back to life, and the branches and leaves began to grow wildly.
Then the flowers bloom and wither, the fruit grows, and the fruit ripens.
The entire process, under Xiao Yu's frantic urging, took less than three minutes.
"Phew~ Forcibly catalyzing so many plants is really tiring!"
Normally, it would take ten days to half a month, or even more than ten times, to fully ripen these fruit trees using the Night Light Domain. However, Xiao Yu forced them to ripen in less than three minutes. Naturally, overusing his ability was somewhat tiring.
However, looking at the dozen or so fruit trees, all laden with densely packed, bright red fruit, and smelling of sweet fragrance, he felt a sense of accomplishment.
He reached out and beckoned, and a fruit flew off each of the fruit trees.
Xiao Yu tasted them one by one, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
"It seems that simply forcing growth isn't enough. It hasn't received enough photosynthesis, nor has it absorbed enough nutrients from the soil! So... the smell is a bit..."
This fruit looks pretty good.
But compared to the fruits from my previous life on Earth, the taste is simply indescribable.
Wine made from such fruit probably wouldn't taste very good.
"We can only wait two more days to allow it to receive more photosynthesis and absorb enough soil nutrients."
After all, the wild fruit trees on Earth in his previous life had been cultivated by humans countless times before they gradually matured, and Xiao Yu couldn't possibly make them fully mature all at once.
That would completely violate the laws of nature, although he doesn't really follow the rules anymore...
After leaving the plantation, Xiao Yu went straight to the forging room.
The weapons and armor used by those orcs are quite different from those used by humans, and it takes them much longer to make.
Therefore, this time, Xiao Yu did not involve Chu Ling Shuang as he intended to forge it himself.
Even for him, it would probably take several days to forge more than ten people at once.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu sent a message to the Fire Qilin, who was forging iron in the outer city's forging area.
Upon receiving its master's summons, the fire unicorn, which was diligently refining iron, took off running, transforming into a streak of fire that shot into the sky and flew to the city lord's mansion in just a few seconds, arriving before its master.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
Upon seeing its owner, the little guy immediately cried out excitedly.
It kept wagging its tail and rubbing against its owner.
"Good girl!"
Xiao Yu picked up the puppy-sized fire unicorn, petting the little guy while pointing with a smile at the meteorite iron and ferocious beast materials in the forging room, "I'll leave these things to you!"
Looking at the mountain of materials, even the mighty eighth-tier fire qilin showed a hint of fear.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
"Alright, sweetie, here's some energy points for you."
the following few days.
Inside the forging room, mournful sobs could be heard from time to time.
However, Xiao Yu's progress in forging the divine weapon was extremely fast.
Meanwhile, Queen Medusa has also been living a very comfortable life these past two days.
After bathing in the glowing realm for several days, and with Xiao Yu's instructions, Sixi, June, and Seven Kills took great care of her, providing her with various top-quality natural treasures such as glowing dew, milk, and mulberries to nourish her body.
After a few days, she had recovered to about 70-80% of her original condition.
Here Queen Medusa is, leisurely listening to a lecture in the teaching building.
Honglian had just finished her Chinese lesson and was now on break, chatting casually with Honglian.
Medusa pointed to the lifelike ink wash landscape paintings in the textbook and asked curiously, "These paintings are so realistic, who painted them?"
She felt that someone with such refined tastes in a post-apocalyptic world must be a person of extraordinary character.
"You don't know? This is the masterpiece of our city lord!" Honglian said proudly.
Although Medusa gave her a considerable sense of crisis, she was now Xiao Yu's woman.
She is also Xiao Yu's only woman at present, so naturally he is the proudest.
"Lord of the City?" Medusa's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this.
In fact, she had seen similar paintings in various places in the city lord's mansion, including the halls and dining rooms.
There are even portraits of Honglian Xinglan and the other girls, depicting them as beautiful as celestial beings.
I wasn't very familiar with Honglian and the other women before, so I didn't want to ask too many questions.
Looking at these paintings now, they are all so well-painted and so beautiful.
Medusa's beautiful eyes flickered, and a different thought suddenly came to mind.
Jingle Bell!
Just then, a piercing school bell rang.
Followed by.
A tall, slender figure walked onto the podium.
"Does everyone want to know what the world was like before the apocalypse?" The current course is about wilderness survival, so the person attending the class is none other than Xiao Yu, the city lord of Dragon City.
His gaze swept over everyone below, his smile carrying a deeper meaning.
"miss you!"
In an instant, everyone sat up straight.
Even Queen Medusa.
Her delicate body, which had been leaning lazily against the back of the chair, unconsciously sat up.
The world before the apocalypse? What was it like?
"In the world before the end of the world, our ancestors lived in a harmonious country without war."
The children don't have to work or go hungry after waking up early every day.
Someone will bring you delicious animal milk and take you to school to learn knowledge...
"You can live such a carefree life until you're in your twenties..." Xiao Yu spoke eloquently, recalling scenes from his past life and giving a brief description.
In my past life, when I was a corporate slave, I felt that modern society was bad in this way and that way.
But now that he's in the wasteland, he misses that world very much.
After all, there's no internet in the wasteland, and everything from food and clothing to shelter and transportation is a hassle!
"Really?"
Hearing this, the group of children who had grown up in the wilderness could not understand it at all.
They don't have to go hungry, they don't have to work, and their lives are not in danger.
That kind of life only exists in dreams, in heaven!
"Sounds good, this story is well-made!" Medusa looked at Xiao Yu on the podium. Although she longed for the life he described, she felt that it was all made up.
After all, she had never seen the world before the apocalypse.
"I know you don't believe me now, and you think I made it up!"
Xiao Yu smiled as he scanned the dozens of children of varying ages in the room, finally fixing his gaze on the Queen of Beasts with a meaningful smile.
Feeling the man's intense gaze, the Queen suddenly felt somewhat embarrassed.
It's like being caught talking badly about someone behind their back; it's a feeling of guilt and shame.
"But... I, Xiao Yu, promise you all! The children of Dragon City will never have to go hungry or work again! No one or any ferocious beast will harm you! One day, Dragon City will be able to provide the life we had before the apocalypse! Of course, all of this requires the efforts of everyone here!"
