Global Flood: I Survive on Duckweed

Chapter 255: Chapter 177: Discussion of Truths, Photographic Memory

The two parties waved goodbye, and Qin Haonan started the speedboat, heading off into the distance.

Wang Jun watched the speedboat recede into the distance and asked, ”What do you think of that Taoyuan Yang?”

”My impression of him is very good. He seems upright, but he’s also a bit mysterious. I can’t figure out what his trump cards are,” Long Zhan summarized.

Wang Jun nodded slightly. ”Yes. However, he did show us some of his cards. They might not be his real trump cards, but it shows our relationship has progressed.”

”We have to buy those plant weapons!” Long Zhan’s tone was urgent.

Wang Jun glanced at him. ”We still have some ammunition for now. We need to buy the plant weapons, but not right now. Our current target should be the dizzy fish grass!”

Long Zhan was stunned for a moment, then nodded. ”I understand. Prioritize buying the dizzy fish grass!”

”Sigh. There are too many things we need to buy. I’m afraid the seeds from the seed bank won’t be enough,” Wang Jun said, his brows furrowed.

”Yeah. Once we use up those seeds, we probably won’t be able to trade for much,” Long Zhan agreed, also frowning slightly.

”It seems we need to contact the team from River Bird Country. Their nation’s International Seed Bank should have survived!” Wang Jun began to plan.

”They probably won’t give us those seeds easily,” Long Zhan said with a slight frown.

Wang Jun smiled faintly. ”They’ll likely be very interested in many of the things we have.”

”Old Wang, you’re not thinking of trading the Evolution Potions to them, are you?” Long Zhan asked with a frown.

”Of course not!” Wang Jun shook his head. ”As long as we get the dizzy fish grass and can resume normal agricultural production, we can trade grain for their seeds!”

”That’s true. But we need to contact them soon. If they get desperate from hunger and eat all the seeds, it’ll be a huge loss for us!” Long Zhan replied.

”Mm, I’ll contact them right away. But you don’t need to worry too much about that. Many types of seeds aren’t edible,” Wang Jun continued.

Long Zhan nodded slightly. Wang Jun began to private message the team from River Bird Country on his phone.

Meanwhile, Qin Haonan began circling in the speedboat.

”Chief, I saw them move a lot of big boxes over. What’s in them?” Qin Haonan asked curiously as he handled the controls.

He had thought they were just coming here this time to trade Evolution Potions for some poultry and livestock. He never expected the other party to also bring over several large cardboard boxes.

”Computers,” Ren Yuanyang said, standing up and walking outside.

”Computers?” Qin Haonan was taken aback, confused. ”In this kind of environment, what do we need computers for?”

By this time, Ren Yuanyang had already walked out of the cabin and didn’t address his confusion.

”Chief, where are you going?” Lu Jiamei hurriedly followed him.

”I’m going to check on the poultry and livestock. You don’t need to follow me. Go back and rest,” Ren Yuanyang replied.

Just now, Lu Jiamei had been on edge, her nerves stretched taut. She had been worried the Aircraft Carrier Base would suddenly make a move to keep them there!

”It’s fine, I’m not tired!” Lu Jiamei responded, still following behind Ren Yuanyang.

Ren Yuanyang didn’t say anything more and went to the shelter at the stern of the boat.

The cows, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, and geese were not at all used to the rocking and bumping of the boat. They were all a bit listless.

Seeing the six listless calves, Ren Yuanyang squeezed directly into the cattle pen.

It wasn’t that he liked the smell of the cattle pen, but he wanted to strengthen these calves. In their current state, they might get sick after they got back.

Standing outside the cattle pen, Ren Yuanyang’s Mental Energy couldn’t completely cover the calves, which were already over a meter tall and long.

The range of Ren Yuanyang’s Mental Energy control was a one-meter radius. As long as he squeezed into the pen and positioned a calf sideways within his Mental Energy’s range, he could strengthen it!

Strengthening six calves in a row nearly exhausted his Mental Energy.

”Jiamei, get some of the feed we prepared for the calves!” Ren Yuanyang ordered before heading back into the boat’s cabin.

Lu Jiamei was slightly taken aback. She had seen the calves earlier; they were so listless they wouldn’t eat at all. Now that Ren Yuanyang was suddenly telling her to get feed, she was a little confused.

Though she didn’t understand, she still responded, ”Okay!”

Lu Jiamei immediately retrieved some of the specially prepared feed from the cabin. When she returned to the cattle pen, she discovered that the calves had suddenly become energetic.

Seemingly smelling the feed in Lu Jiamei’s hands, the calves all stretched their heads out.

Lu Jiamei immediately placed the feed in the trough, and they instantly began to chow down. MUNCH, MUNCH, MUNCH.

’The chief must have done something!’ Lu Jiamei thought to herself. When she looked at the still-listless pigs and sheep nearby, she became even more certain of this idea.

Back in the cabin, Ren Yuanyang opened the boxes containing the computers.

The outer packaging of one computer had ”Taoyuan Yang” written on it. It was clearly a special preparation for him by Wang Jun.

Ren Yuanyang opened that box directly. Inside was an incredibly thick and heavy laptop, along with a sheet of instructions.

This was a server-grade laptop. All the data was stored on it, and other laptops could access this data through a local area network.

Ren Yuanyang could choose which data to make available to the other computers.

After glancing over the instructions, Ren Yuanyang opened the laptop and began to browse the data inside.

After looking for just a little while, he was shocked to discover that he had gained a photographic memory!

’Do you get this strong after evolving?’ Ren Yuanyang found it incredible.

Just then, Lu Jiamei walked in from outside.

To verify this, Ren Yuanyang called out, ”Jiamei, pick a laptop. The Aircraft Carrier Base copied a lot of data for us. You take a look too.”

Lu Jiamei was slightly stunned, then nodded in acknowledgment and opened a laptop.

Ren Yuanyang set up the local area network according to the instructions, allowing Lu Jiamei to access the data on his computer from hers.

”Take a look at this file,” Ren Yuanyang said, randomly sending a file to Lu Jiamei.

Lu Jiamei quickly read through it once, a puzzled look on her face. ”This file doesn’t seem very useful, does it?”

”But did you memorize it?” Ren Yuanyang asked in return.

Lu Jiamei’s brow furrowed. ”Memorize it? I probably only retained about twenty or thirty percent.”

Ren Yuanyang was taken aback. He continued to ask, ”Does it feel any different from before?”

”It is different!” Lu Jiamei nodded slightly. ”In the past, I could never retain twenty or thirty percent after reading something just once.”

”It seems everyone’s memory improves after becoming an Evolver!” Ren Yuanyang remarked with emotion.

”Yeah. If I had this kind of memory, maybe I would have gone into scientific research!” Lu Jiamei lamented.

Ren Yuanyang froze for a second, then immediately realized. ”That’s right! Becoming an Evolver is a huge benefit for scientific research. I should remind Captain Wang and his team!”

As he spoke, Ren Yuanyang sent a message to Wang Jun: ”I really like the computer you prepared for me, thank you! By the way, a reminder: you should give some of the Evolution Potions to the researchers. It should speed up the pace of research quite a bit!”

”We were actually thinking the same thing. We’ve already decided that most of this batch of Evolution Potions will be given to the research staff!” Wang Jun replied immediately.

”So you’d already thought of it. Looks like I was the one who was slow on the uptake!” Ren Yuanyang replied with a smile.

”It’s not that you were slow, it’s that everyone in your base can use Evolution Potions, so you don’t have to consider who gets them first!” Wang Jun’s message seemed to carry a hint of envy.

”Don’t worry, the entire Aircraft Carrier Base will be able to evolve in the future too!” Ren Yuanyang comforted.

”We’ll still have to rely on your Peach Blossom Base for that!” Wang Jun replied.

”You’re too kind, Captain Wang. We need your support just as much,” Ren Yuanyang replied, not acting superior just because he held the Evolution Potions.

”No problem. We’ll rely on and support each other. Let’s strive to find the reason behind the flood!” Wang Jun responded.

”Alright!” Ren Yuanyang replied. ”It’s getting late, you should get some rest.”

The two ended their chat, and Ren Yuanyang continued to look through the files on the computer.

Suddenly, a directory caught his attention—”Daoist Scripture”!

As the only native religion of the Dragon Country and an important carrier of its traditional culture, Ren Yuanyang was naturally familiar with Daoism.

Daoist practice is the cultivation of the spirit. ’It must have some effect on improving Mental Energy!’

Thinking this, Ren Yuanyang clicked open the ”Daoist Scripture” directory.
