Live Strong in the Wilderness
Chapter 440: Another Favor Delivered
"Number 6, gather some people to document each plant Xu Yi collects and then collect samples. This Xu Yi seems to be very experienced in identifying plants, which can save us a lot of trouble," Ling Qi said to Number 6, as Xu Yi tasted each plant.
The Spirit Race has done very little research on plants after all, their civilization has developed for tens of thousands of years, and there’s not much to study about their native plants.
Hence, talents in this area are extremely rare. In their mindset, there’s no special focus on plants.
"By the way, use Star Chart to contact him and install the language conversion feature on his Spiritual Brain, make some modifications so he can use it. That way, we can gather more data. As for the excuse, you decide. I’ll leave this to you, I have to go see my mother now," Ling Qi said and directly teleported away.
After Ling Qi left, Number 6 was quite troubled.
The trouble wasn’t about making some changes to the Spiritual Brain to make it more like the human tablet system, which wasn’t a big deal for Number 6 and could be done in half an hour.
The hard part was finding a reason to contact Xu Yi and then install the modified system on his Spiritual Brain.
After preparing the system, Number 6 hesitated for an hour before contacting Xu Yi.
At this time, Xu Yi’s following camera suddenly flew elsewhere, then pointed its lens toward a different place.
Xu Yi naturally noticed, glancing at the following camera immediately.
At this moment, Xu Yi’s Star Chart vibrated a few times.
"Xu Yi, this is Number 6. I’m now a Level 5 Mage, thank you for your help. Without your initial guidance to feel Spiritual Power, I wouldn’t have reached the Level 5 Mage realm so quickly."
What Number 6 said was half-true. The reason he achieved the power of a Level 5 Mage was due to consuming 200 kilograms of Level 8 Fierce Beast Meat. This, of course, was a reward from Ling Qi to him.
Otherwise, how could he have obtained so much Level 8 Fierce Beast Meat?
As a lowly servant, he wouldn’t have such benefits.
This 200 kilogram of meat was Ling Qi’s own allocation. However, through her efforts, she advanced to the Level 5 Mage realm and didn’t need to use Level 8 Fierce Beast Meat to improve herself.
So she rewarded it to Number 6.
There was no choice; Ling Qi just found Number 6 more pleasing to the eye.
"So soon?" Xu Yi felt depressed; he had awakened his Spiritual Power for so long and even had a system, yet he was only a Level 3 Divine Master now.
And Number 6, when he met him, hadn’t even awakened telekinesis yet.
Could he catch up with and surpass Spirit God in his lifetime?
"Yes, that’s why I’m very grateful to you. As a small return, that Spiritual Brain you’re carrying, right?" Number 6’s voice echoed in Xu Yi’s head again.
"I have it with me," Xu Yi said and took out the tablet.
"I’ll install a language conversion function so you can use it. Besides that, I can’t help much," Number 6 continued.
"Great, thank you for your help. I really need it," Xu Yi said happily, as he needed to record a lot of notes for finding suitable plants, to avoid errors.
"I’ll set your following camera so that when it’s aimed at the Spiritual Brain, its interface will blur automatically," Number 6’s voice echoed again, thinking that was necessary. After all, this would prevent humans from knowing the language of the Spiritual Brain had changed.
"Thank you very much." Xu Yi knew that this was indeed a benefit, and helping Number 6 back then was a good investment.
"You’re welcome, goodbye." With that, Number 6 cut off the connection with Xu Yi.
Xu Yi glanced at the Spiritual Brain in his hand; it seemed to be changing the language system.
In less than ten minutes, the screen lit up again, and Xu Yi found familiar Chinese characters on it, and he couldn’t help but grin.
After exploring a bit, Xu Yi found its functions similar to the tablets used in his world; it’s an electronic device used for entertainment, to play games, watch videos, record videos, create documents, etc.
However, its original owner didn’t play any games, only a few videos recorded by a female Spirit Cultivator. Xu Yi couldn’t understand the language, but it seemed to be the owner’s lover.
He didn’t know if the owner of this tablet was still alive.
Xu Yi discovered a remarkable feature of this tablet: it could transform into a small following camera and fly around.
Moreover, it had a flexible function that allowed it to change shape at will when activated.
As for its storage capacity, Xu Yi guessed it might have a few hundred terabytes, anyway, it had an astonishingly large capacity and was automatically rechargeable, lasting for years.
Using it to store plant data was just perfect for Xu Yi.
As for data being leaked to the Spirit Race?
Even without this, Xu Yi knew he couldn’t keep this data safe. After all, they monitored him 26 hours a day; how much could he hide?
As long as the system wouldn’t be discovered, that would be enough.
Those materials weren’t his main concern.
What truly mattered was the formulas.
Without knowing the formulas, just knowing the plants’ attributes and medicinal properties wouldn’t likely lead to the right concoction.
Of course, plants like Spirit Blue Grass, if the Spirit Race tries it, they would find it enhances Spiritual Power, which could be valuable to them.
Xu Yi thought that this type of plant should be abundant on Spirit Blue Star.
This planet with ’Spiritual Energy’ would naturally have such plants.
Xu Yi put away the Spiritual Brain and went back to the camp.
It was almost dark, and it was time to go back for dinner.
When he returned to the camp, dinner was ready, and everyone was waiting for Xu Yi to come back and eat.
After dinner, everyone continued their cultivation.
"Xu Yi, I thought that tablet had stopped working, why are you using it again?" Lu Ke asked when she saw Xu Yi take out the tablet again.
Xu Yi smiled slightly and said, "Number 6 helped me change the language system, now I can use it."
Lu Ke was a bit surprised and asked, "Number 6 came again?" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Xu Yi shook his head to explain, "No, he only contacted me via Star Chart and helped me change the language system. He’s now a Level 5 Mage and wanted to express his gratitude."
"Ah, Level 5 already? That’s so fast; didn’t you say when you left that ship he had just awakened?" Lu Ke’s eyes widened, and then she pursed her lips, continuing, "It’s so disheartening, I’m not even Level 3 yet!"
"It really is disheartening," Xu Yi shrugged, feeling quite envious of the Spirit Race’s speed in leveling up, then he handed the Spiritual Brain to Lu Ke.
He thought Lu Ke might want to see what functions this Spiritual Brain had.
"Hey, this tablet is very similar to ours," Lu Ke said in some surprise.
"Yes, Number 6 probably made some changes, so we can more quickly get accustomed to this tablet. Its original system must have been different," Xu Yi explained.
After all, the interface had changed greatly from before.
