Strictly speaking, this was the first ti that Ye Zhongming was using the Nurture skill. Ass this was a continuous skill, it needed ti and a specific location. With Ye Zhongming’s roar kind of state, he did not have the conditions to use the skill several tis.
But the job was different from normal gardeners. Like other apocalypse jobs, it had magical stats that brought itself many advantages.
For example when nurturing normal earth plants.
Mutated plant seeds were the main target of the Gardener's skills. One needed ti and a large amount of ntal energy to grow the plants.
But Earth plants were much weaker than those mutated plants which was why Ye Zhongming was planning to train on them. Once he stabilised and got familiar, he would develop the Chompers that he got from the Chain Prisoner.
He pressed his hand on that layer of manmade soil. With Nurture, he injected his ntal energy into the soil.
Ye Zhongming’s eyes were originally opened but he closed in a mont later as he couldn’t see anything on the surface. The ntal energy from his hands actually felt like many tentacles that spread across the soil. The ntal energy felt like a part of Ye Zhongming’s body. Each seed it touched beca a point in his mind which would light up when his ntal energy touched it.
A mont later, all the seeds lit up in Ye Zhongming’s mind. These seeds were connected by ntal energy and ford a huge and complicated net of light.
When ntal energy was shot out from Ye Zhongming, it was transmitted through the net. Ye Zhongming could sense that the light dots that represented the cabbage seeds were slowly getting brighter.
He knew that the cabbage seeds were growing!
This was a magical feeling. You felt the joy of controlling life and you could even feel the light growing. This made Ye Zhongming addicted and he subconsciously quickened the ntal energy injection.
When he sensed it, he realised he had used up over a hundred points of ntal energy which frightened him so much that he stopped.
This made him open his eyes and the scene ahead shocked him.
The empty soil had green spouts growing on it!
It sprouted?
Even if Ye Zhongming was sure that he caused all this, it still felt fake.
Things growing at a visible speed were sothing that one could only see on television. That was due to increased playback speed. Now, it had only been ten minutes since Ye Zhongming planted the seeds and it actually sprouted. Moreover, the sprouts were a few centiters tall.
In the apocalypse that was riddled with holes, the familiar green color that represented life was a feeling that no one who didn’t live in the apocalypse could understand. Ye Zhongming even felt a sour feeling in his nose and he found it hard to control his emotions.
Ye Zhongming had experienced it before and knew what this green represented.
That ant that Ye Zhongming wouldn’t lack vitamins and micronutrients. It represented that he didn’t need to worry about food. Once his Gardener job reached a higher level, he could raise the nutrients of these plants by many folds.
This ant that he could keep many people alive and it gave him unimaginable power and leadership.
Of course, he didn’t know how the job would change as it evolves but what he thought about had a high chance of coming true.
However, the ntal energy consud made him feel a little helpless.
Ye Zhongming couldn’t allow himself to exhaust his ntal energy because he used it all on the cabbage. The apocalypse was filled with dangers and one had to maintain their strength.
Little Tiger was stunned as he looked on from the side. He saw the boss touch the soil like a madman and a mont later, those seeds sprouted out from the soil.
Little Tiger knew that the boss had more than one job but he didn’t know that it had sothing to do with plants.
The more ti he spent with this boss that was just a couple of years older than him, the more mysterious and strong he felt he was.
Little Tiger felt really fortunate that he was on the sa side as this person. If he was an enemy… He shivered just thinking about it.
The two of them went downstairs and Ye Zhongming explained to Little Tiger what his job was. This made him really envious and more and more interested in the apocalypse.
It was as if this world had beco a ga. People will get all sorts of abilities and complete all sorts of quests.
But only Ye Zhongming knew that this wasn’t a ga. This world was more cruel than a ga. You didn’t obtain things from nowhere, you had to pay your blood and sweat. You have to make choices and even give up your life.
He believed that a person or so other life form was controlling everything and he wanted to know who it was.
The few won had finished cooking and seeing the two of them co down, it was ti to eat. Da Ming who was here to enjoy finally ate sothing that was so delicious since the apocalypse started and he nearly swallowed his own tongue. Seeing everyone chew slowly, his face flushed red from embarrassnt.
“Look at you… Boss will get sothing nicer at night!”
Little Tiger was drooling when he thought about the sprouting cabbage. No matter how delicious mutated boar at was, one would get sick of it if one ate too much. If one could eat so fresh vegetables to neutralise the taste then it would be a great enjoynt.
Da Ming’s eyes lit up and he kept asking Little Tiger what it was. He just rolled his eyes and refused to tell him about it. This guy didn’t give face to anyone who was not a part of the team.
Ye Zhongming took the green ntal energy necklace back from Park Xiuying to speed up his ntal energy recovery. He was planning to accelerate the cabbage growth by today and make so cabbage and at stew for dinner.
Jia Ming returned not long after they began and he brought interesting news for Ye Zhongming.
“Brother Ye, I know where to find the person with a recipe.” Jia Ming was excited. He knew that his hard work wouldn’t be for nothing. Serving Ye Zhongming was a job that paid a large amount.
“Where?”
“In the east region Ocean Community Club.”
