Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi-Chapter 141 An Even More Relaxed Second Hunting Round (1)
After getting tired of watching movies, she played video games, stayed up until dawn, cleaned up, went out for breakfast, and then headed to the training center to practice her shooting skills.

After shooting practice, she went to train in Fighting Skills and Short Stick Skill. She returned home for lunch and a nap in the afternoon, then back to the training center for a first aid class.
She had registered for the class in the second half of last year, hoping to get her first aid certification within a year, but the longer it took, the less she felt like pursuing it.
When she had some free time, she searched online for a lot of information about fungi, natural decomposers that not only disintegrate organic matter, which is common food, but also decompose lignin, rocks, plastics, and metals, all decomposition activities aimed at maintaining the ecological balance of the natural world.
Evolution takes time, and since the enemies from Otherworld had invaded fifty years ago, they had left behind a great deal of debris on Blue Star that couldn’t naturally decompose; now, a decomposer capable of handling them had emerged.
After finishing the educational materials, Ye Nai felt settled and had new plans for the broken cars accumulating in her Space. The Space was large, and it wouldn’t hurt to keep them there. In the future, when the Fungus evolved to decompose metal, she could clean it up and even have it decompose the license plates.
Halfway through her week off, Ye Nai finished her afternoon class and strolled home, stopping to buy a few white rolls on the way. Holding her phone in her hand, her phone rang as she was about to enter the neighborhood—it was a call from her mom.
"Hello, Mom?"
"Did you transfer your household registration?" As soon the call connected, Yu Qing’s angry voice came through.
"Yes."
Ye Nai wasn’t surprised to receive a call questioning her household registration; they would find out about it as soon as they started the divorce proceedings.
"Why did you transfer it to the Awakener Center?"
"For the freedom to relocate."
Ye Nai spoke honestly, not caring whether it would infuriate her mother, and also letting her know that sooner or later she would move out of town—it was only a matter of time.
"If you want to look for a job out of town, just go, but why transfer your household registration? Isn’t it good at home?"
"You two are getting divorced and you’re still asking me this? Do you really believe it’s good at home?"
Yu Qing was immediately left speechless.
"You... you transferred your registration and didn’t even mention it!"
"You never asked."
"Such a big matter as transferring your registration, and you don’t say a word, do you even consider us family?"
"If you want to think that way, I can’t help it."
The very next second, Ye Nai heard a sharp intake of breath from Yu Qing over the phone, along with someone cautioning her to stay calm and not get agitated.
"You should just deal with your divorce properly, mind your own business, don’t you want those twenty thousand anymore?"
Ye Nai heard her mom’s steady breathing after a series of deep breaths over the phone.
"Ye Nai, you really have grown up."
"Of course I’ve grown up, I came of age last year."
The call abruptly ended, and Ye Nai shrugged her shoulders, holding her phone and walking briskly home to cook dinner.
Yu Qing and Ye Yu were at the police station’s household registration office, dissolving their household registration as they had already obtained their divorce certificate. They were preparing to split the household registration book when they noticed a page missing, initially thinking it had been lost, only to find out that Ye Nai had transferred her registration to the Awakener Center last July.
However, the staff in the household registration office couldn’t see whether Ye Nai was an Awakener or not; they simply advised the divorced middle-aged couple in front of them not to be angry, as it is relatively easier for ordinary people to find work in private teams when they transfer to that collective household. It allowed them to confidently follow their team around the country, earning more money. They questioned what good it was to stay in East Ridge City, with no industries or factories, and who among the young people without family support wouldn’t move out.
Provoked by the officer’s advice, both Ye Yu and Yu Qing felt a burning sensation on their faces, feeling that the officer was insinuating they were incapable of supporting their child and were holding her back.
They maintained stern faces and completed the procedures to split the household registration, changing their younger daughter’s name to Yu Jiao. The new registration page was printed on the spot; the ex-husband took the two sons, and the ex-wife took one daughter. Since they had sold the house, their registrations temporarily settled in the police station’s collective household, verified once a year to mainly let the police station confirm they were alive or dead.
As a result, they needed new ID cards, with updated addresses.
Stepping out of the police station’s main gate, the former couple went their separate ways, each walking down their own path.
Ye Yu rented a small two-bedroom apartment in the old neighborhood, keeping all the household appliances and furniture. He even compensated his ex-wife a sum of money, considering it as buying her share, never once considering buying new ones.
Yu Qing, through a real estate agent, managed to rent a two-bedroom apartment situated between her workplace and her daughter’s school, learning that the owners were an elderly couple whose children were successful out of town and had taken the parents to live with them for retirement. The old house wasn’t for sale either, providing some rental income as pocket money.
The apartment was freshly painted white, all furniture and appliances had been cleared out, leaving only the built-in wardrobe and the balcony clothesline. Yu Qing herself spent money to equip it fully from the furniture and appliance market; she and her daughter each had their own room and had already moved in.
In the evening, not feeling as angry anymore, Yu Qing took a photo of the divorce certificate, the rental contract, and the new home environment and sent it to Ye Nai.
Receiving the photo, Ye Nai decisively transferred twenty thousand yuan to her.
With debts settled and divorce instigated, that was the end of the matter. If life didn’t improve from there, no one else could be blamed.
Furthermore, if a couple could be easily persuaded to divorce, it indicated that their relationship was just so-so. Perhaps, the desire for divorce had been there a long while, merely seizing the opportunity of a failed investment to finally separate.
Ye Nai spent the remaining few days quietly before joining her team to set off for the Secret Realm to hunt.
They had agreed upon departure to head straight for the wetland area to hunt giant frogs and water birds.
When arriving at the edge of the wetlands and finding it difficult to proceed, the entire team switched to tracked vehicles and smoothly reached the last camping spot.
And so, they reached the last camping site.
"Xiao Yezi, from now on it’s up to you. You’re free to hunt as long as you bring back the game, no questions asked about how it comes back,"
"What’s the main target?"
"Giant frogs, dead. We’ll handle the water birds, alive. Anything else is fine too, as long as it’s edible."
"If I’m free to move, I’ll be out of communication range in minutes."
Hearing she was free to hunt, Ye Nai immediately beamed with joy, amusing the team leaders.
"Don’t wander too far though, checking in every few days is also fine."
"I’ll try my best," Ye Nai shrugged, "I can’t guarantee that."
"Starting tomorrow, 15 days. In 15 days we’ll meet to see how much game we have. If it’s enough, we head back; if not, we’ll stay a few more days but no more than 30 days. The journey back takes a few days too; if we return too late, we won’t even have time to write the menu."
"OK."
Ye Nai spent one night at the campsite and the next morning, packed up the tent, left the tractor, excavator, forklift, and trailer at the campsite, and drove away in a tracked vehicle, starting her solo venture.
