Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi-Chapter 153 A sudden prank (1)

"Wow, big sis?" The two younger brothers looked at the money that had suddenly appeared on their phones, their faces filled with surprise.

"Each month I will subsidize each of you eight hundred, so that gives you a total of sixteen hundred for monthly expenses. You can also check this online through your phones, Ordinary college students usually have about this much; those who have higher living costs, it’s because their parents are wealthier and willing to spend that much on their children. We can’t compare, and there’s no need to insist on that."

"Mm-hm, got it, thanks big sis."

"However, let me make this clear. I might take on jobs in the Secret Realm at any time, and when I’ll come out is uncertain. So I can’t promise to provide the subsidy on time, you’ll have to budget properly."

"No worries, big sis. We still have the national subsidy, so there’s no problem with food; everything else is negotiable."

Ye Nai patted her two younger brothers on the head, noticing that they seemed a bit more mature after living with Dad for a while.

"You two are living with Dad. Even if he doesn’t give you money, you still have to occasionally ask him for money, bit by bit. Whatever you can get is something, don’t be too proud to accept small amounts. Don’t let him have so much money to waste on smoking and drinking, expecting not to contribute a single cent nor any thought and still have two sons who’d dutifully take care of him in his old age. The world doesn’t work that easily."

"Right!" The two rebellious teenage boys felt a surge of defiance when their sister mentioned that Dad wasn’t supporting them but they would have to provide for him in the future.

"Don’t let Dad know you have a phone to contact me. If you go home, remember to hide your phones well. If he knows I’m subsidizing you, you’ll get even less money from him."

"If you run into trouble, send me a message. As long as I’m not in the Secret Realm, I’ll see it. Don’t go to Mom for help; you’re living with Dad, and constantly seeking help from Mom is as if she’s still the one taking care of you. He can’t expect her to pay for his sons when he doesn’t give her custody."

"Understood, don’t worry, big sis. We’re living with Dad, and we need to make him realize that being a father isn’t so easy."

"We can also encourage him to try for the Intermediate electrician certification."

"Exactly, as good sons, it’s only right to urge Dad to better himself. If he doesn’t improve, he won’t have anything to leave for you in the future." Ye Nai glanced at the time, stood up, "I need to go, you guys should get to class. At school, don’t show weakness if you’re bullied. You have each other; you shouldn’t be bullied. If you really encounter someone tough and can’t win, there’s no shame in yielding. But everyone needs to eat, drink, and sleep, and once you get the chance, fight back mercilessly. Once others know you’re not to be messed with, they won’t bother you anymore."

"Got it, big sis, we won’t let anyone bully us."

After seeing her younger brothers back to school, watching them dash through the school gates to the classroom building as the bell rang, Ye Nai took an electric scooter out of her Space and headed to the mall to buy a few sports bras.

Her muscles had grown stronger, and the old bras were starting to feel uncomfortable, so it was time for new ones. She also wanted to try different brands, so visiting physical stores was the most convenient option. If she found them comfortable, she would buy more of the same kind online.

She spent over an hour browsing through underwear shops and, after finding the right sports bras, was about to leave when she saw a promotional booth for home gardening—growing boxes, vegetable seeds, and fertilizer, they had everything.

Ye Nai’s attention was caught by these items.

She remembered that with the help of spores, she could disguise herself as a Wood Element Awakener, but she had only ever experimented briefly with this ability in the Secret Realm and had never truly practiced this disguise ability.

She thought gardening at home was a good idea; if she was successful, she wouldn’t need to buy vegetables anymore.

Under the enthusiastic sales pitch, Ye Nai picked out her favorite vegetable seeds to buy a packet each, and she bought several grow boxes of deep, medium, and shallow depths to accommodate veggies that had long, short, or rhizome-type roots. She also got all the fertilizers she needed.

After finishing her shopping, she was leaving the mall when she bumped into a group of four or five flustered teenagers. They hurriedly passed by Ye Nai and rushed inside, glancing back outside as if waiting to see who would be the victim of their mischief, with that mischievous look on their faces.

They were all dressed nicely, clearly from well-to-do families, but one of the boys wearing a light green windbreaker bore traces of having just used his Wood Element Superpower.

The spores that habitually surrounded their bodies swiftly circulated within them and reported back to Ye Nai that this group of people were seedlings who had awakened prematurely.

Immediately, alarm bells rang in Ye Nai’s head.

Teenagers who had awakened early were immature in mind, and the residual traces of superpower on their bodies indicated they had just used their superpowers in public.

Even if it were just a prank, causing such trouble could be lethal.

Ye Nai kept an eye on the teenagers who had run deeper into the mall. She hadn’t retrieved the spores inside their bodies, and she could still track their whereabouts.

Meanwhile, the spores around her dispersed in all directions, screening for any environmental anomalies in areas with greenery.

Just then, a sudden movement appeared in the flowerbed a few meters away, where a Five-clawed Vine shot out from the neatly trimmed hedge.

The characteristics of the Five-clawed Vine were distinctive, with five curled branches on a single vine that looked like slender fingers curling up.

This was a type of mutant plant that actively attacked and hunted, wrapping around its prey and pulling it back to its base to slowly absorb it.

In cities, management of green belts was always strict to prevent the possibility of mutant plant seeds or plants from hiding within.

This mall was part of a larger shopping and entertainment complex with plenty of people around. As a key part of the overall landscape, the greenery was beautifully maintained.

The abrupt appearance of the Five-clawed Vine frightened the nearby people, causing them to scream in terror and run for their lives. Yet, women and children resting on the edge of the flowerbed and passersby who happened to be there still unavoidably got caught by the vine branches.

In no time, the plaza was filled with the screams and cries of women, the elderly, and children.

Nearby security guards scrambled to find tools to help, while many civilians were making emergency calls.

Since the target had shown itself, Ye Nai’s spores rushed over, penetrated the soil of the flowerbed, entered its root system, and directly killed the Five-clawed Vine.

But for the civilians wrapped in seven or eight layers of the vine branches, axes were required to chop them off layer by layer to free the people.

In her space, she had two identical hatchets, one with a red handle used for cooking, and the other with a natural wood-colored handle used as a weapon.

Ye Nai took out the one intended as a weapon, gripped it in her hand, and quickly rushed toward the chaotic green belt.

Several security guards nearby had already run over, futilely pulling at the coiled Five-clawed Vine, trying to rescue the people trapped inside.

"Move aside, move aside, all of you move aside! Those without sufficient training level, back off!"

Ye Nai leapt up, jumping over the heads of the security guards and landed in front of the closest vine branch, spotting five heads, male and female, with no elderly or children.

With her left hand, she grabbed the topmost vine, and with the hatchet in her right hand, she gestured above it, seeking where to start cutting.
