PSMAT Chapter 54 Part 1

Overly tired from chopping trees, Bai Xiaohu soon received help from her star employee Lu Ye the same night the operation began.
At night, as soon as Lu Ye finished his insect elimination duty outside, he visited Bai Xiaohu. Because there was a risk of being thrown out by people around Bai Xiaohuif he stayed overnight, such as Shi Jian, he had to pretend to say goodbye first and then climb the wall to get back in the room quietly.
When Lu Ye’s head appeared outside the window and gently knocked on the glass window, Bai Xiaohu immediately opened the window for him to come in, and drew the curtains, then…she couldn’t help but laugh hard.
Lu Ye looked at her helplessly, not knowing what made her laugh this hard.
Bai Xiaohu smiled and leaned on the bedside: “Doesn’t our behavior look like a secret meeting behind the parents’ backs?”
Lu Ye’s heart skipped a beat, and he said resignedly: “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Bai Xiaohu finished laughing and said: “Actually, I can go to your place. I’m better at climbing walls than you, and I will never be discovered.”
Lu Ye believed this, after all, she was someone who could climb up to the 24th floor quietly. As for him, the Baishou Team’s night patrol was very well done, and there was also an electronic security system. If he wasn’t this good at it, he would be discovered for real.
However: “Even if someone comes to find me at night and notices that I’m not in the room, it’s okay. What about you?”
Bai Xiaohu was stunned by the question. If someone came to look for her with something and found that she was not in the room, they would definitely look for her everywhere.
“Okay, enough of this talk, let’s go in your space.”
Bai Xiaohu nodded and took him and the two little ones, who were now equivalent to pets, into the space together.
Bai Xiaohu chopped down thousands of trees today, and her spiritual power was consumed quite a bit. Lu Ye also noticed she was a little tired, so he didn’t let her continue. He unbuttoned two buttons on his collar, rolled his sleeves, and started chopping trees. His movements were more skillful and efficient than before.
Bai Xiaohu watched for a while and went to the valley with rich spiritual energy to cultivate.
When she finished several full cycles, she came back in high spirits after changing clothes. Lu Ye had chopped down a mountaintop, and the ground was full of fallen trees and stumps. He had already moved on to the next battlefield.
Bai Xiaohu also went to help. She found some saplings and decided to let people outside plant them slowly.
After chopping down thousands of trees, the two finally rested and started to cook food like last time.
Unfortunately, there were not many things to eat in the space. Other than small wild animals such as pheasants and rabbits, there were also relatively large ones hidden in the mountains and forests, or birds and cranes in the sky. They all lived for a very long time, and Bai Xiaohu was reluctant to eat them. In addition, the only other things that could be eaten were fruits and the like.
Bai Xiaohu looked at Lu Ye grilling fish and suddenly said, “What do you like to eat? Let’s grow some here. It’s not good to eat grilled fish and grilled chicken every day.”
Lu Ye originally wanted to say they could bring food from outside, but the words turned into: “Aren’t you afraid that such a good paradise will become a farm.”
Bai Xiaohu hugged her knees and rested her chin on the back of her hands: “That’s good too. It’s boring to keep it like this. By the way, you haven’t taken a close look at our team’s farm. Come and see after the insects are eliminated. I buried some spiritual stones in the farm.”
“Spiritual stones?”
“Yes, the energy in the space you feel is all spiritual energy. The spiritual energy comes from spiritual stones, and spiritual stones come from spiritual veins. The reason why this space can form a small world and produce a steady stream of spiritual energy is that there are several spiritual veins buried here.”
As Bai Xiaohu said this, she took Lu Ye to a spiritual vein to have a look. At first glance, it is just an ordinary mountain, but when you go into the cave, you can find a spiritual stone at random. Bai Xiaohu bent down and picked up a spiritual stone, showing it to Lu Ye: “This is the spiritual stone.”
Lu Ye looked at it carefully. This thing looked a bit like crystal and a bit like jade. It was an irregular piece and didn’t look very transparent.
“I can’t feel the spiritual energy.”
“Of course, the things you can feel the spiritual energy from are constantly emitting spiritual energy, and that’s why you can sense it. The main function of the spiritual stone is to store spiritual energy. If it also emits spiritual energy all the time, it will run out of all the spiritual energy after a while. What value does it have?”
Bai Xiaohu thought about it, and an idea popped into her mind. She immediately said: “Let’s go, I have an idea.”
She had an idea and took Lu Ye back to the lake. Lu Ye had accepted her ability very well and continued to grill his fish calmly. On the other hand, Bai Xiaohu raised her pot which was hard enough to be used as a hammer, and began to smash the spiritual stone.
Lu Ye: “……”
Lu Ye just watched silently, and he didn’t dare to ask.
Bai Xiaohu smashed the spirit stone into small pieces, and then used the bottom of the pot to grind it, making a creaking sound. The cat and the chicken couldn’t stand it and hid far away, only Lu Ye stayed near her.
When the fish was done grilling, Bai Xiaohu had made the spirit stone into a flat disc, and then she pulled a fur from her hair band, turned it into an extremely sharp tool, and poked at the disc.
Lu Ye watched without obstructing, he picked the fish meat, cleaned the fish bones, and put it in her mouth. Bai Xiaohu ate it in one bite without even looking.
Lu Ye quietly fed her the entire fish, and then the yellow-mud beggar’s chicken was also done cooking, and he started to feed her the chicken.
Bai Xiaohu ate and worked at the same time. After poking a hole in the disc, she used the sharp thorn transformed from her fur to carve a simple rune on it. Finally, she blew on it and said with a smile: “It’s done!”
She handed this crystal-clear thing to Lu Ye: “For you.”
Lu Ye was stunned: “For me?”
“Yes, you wear this with you. It will continuously provide you with spiritual energy and nourish your bones and muscles. In fact, there is also a small piece of spiritual stone in the sachet I gave you, but it is not as good as this one.”
Lu Ye stroked the thing that still carried her body temperature. It should be because of the runes on it, he could feel the energy contained in it this time. It was much stronger and purer than the energy contained in the highest-level crystal core known today. Even at this time, the energy was still radiating.
Bai Xiaohu said: “Don’t worry, the spiritual energy coming out of it can only be felt by you, and others can’t feel it.” She thought about it, thought of a word, and joked, “This is considered a private commission.”
Private commission? Lu Ye’s chest was surging. He calmed down and was about to speak, but Bai Xiaohu, who was holding a chicken and chewing, said, “You haven’t made any progress in your cultivation. Wearing this may help your cultivation in the long run.”
Lu Ye: “…” Can’t he be moved for a little longer?
In short, it was another hard and pleasant night of chopping trees.
The next day, the insect tide was visibly less fierce than yesterday, and the number also decreased. One night did not restore their vitality.
This is normal. Adult insects must find food, lay eggs, and reproduce more offspring. However, as soon as they crawled out of the ground, they rushed towards the flames frantically, sending themselves to death.
So a group of adult insects died, and the eggs behind them hatched and then ran to die again. After a few rounds, there were fewer insects, fewer eggs, and naturally fewer new insects.
It’s a pity that this is only the situation within Jiangcheng at most. Otherwise, if the insects across the country have no spare energy to reproduce, the insects will not be able to cause a crisis.
