Star Planter

Su He has been thinking about what the underground human settlement would be like, but he never imagined that there would be another city completely hidden under the ruins of one city.Of course, the scale of this city may not be comparable to the ruins in the wilderness, but in Su He's view, this settlement is much larger than the small town he has been living in.

Looking down from a height, the distribution of the entire city shows a trend from high to low.The pipe mouth where they appeared was at the highest terrain, belonging to the edge of the city.The terrain gets lower as you get closer to the center, and the center is a large flat valley filled with row upon row of buildings.The flashing neon lights are on, ignoring the two "suns" that are still hanging in the sky on the surface at this time, this place is like a city that has entered the night.

"The edge of the city belongs to the slums, and the half-slope is the civilian area. The most powerful people in this settlement live in the central area at the bottom of the valley. Don't go to the bottom of the valley if you have nothing to do." Han Rui reminded.

Su He nodded, and asked curiously, "Is there any basis for this division? I mean, the closer you live to the edge, the more..."

He couldn't find a suitable word to describe it, but Han Rui easily understood what he meant. "The farther you live, the more dangerous it is. Although there are no dark beasts that are good at digging holes, sometimes some small dark beasts will come in through the pipes following the smell of humans. For the people in the central area, People living on the periphery are cannon fodder for one-time consumption.”

Su He: "..."

Han Rui touched him, "Let's go, I'll take you to the black market."

The location of the black market is not in the city in front of you, you need to go through another underground pipeline.They encountered several strange humans one after another in the interior of the pipeline, all of whom looked similar to his attire, and their bodies were covered in mud.Han Rui winked at Su He, and whispered: "People in the slums are like this." This is why Han Rui dared to appear in the underground world.The environment of Poxing is too harsh, and after going out for a circle, he is basically covered in mud.Qingshui needs to spend credits to buy it here. Except for the central area, people in the civilian area rarely come out without a disheveled face. It is difficult to distinguish who is who.

Su He nodded slightly, not doubting Han Rui's survival wisdom.He noticed that the entrance that Han Rui brought him in was not the only one. After a few steps, there would be a fork in the road, and there might be a new entrance at the other end of the fork.The whole passage was like an indistinct cobweb. If Han Rui hadn't been leading it, Su Ho would have lost his way a long time ago.Before Su He was finally knocked out, Han Rui led him to turn to the left, suddenly a bright light appeared in front of Su He, and a brightly lit hall full of people's voices appeared in front of him.

"Bargain sale, auxiliary smartphone from military retirement, only fifty credits."

"Super cost-effective laser concussion cannon, the guarantee of survival in the wilderness, [-] credits are sold at a bargain price."

"Energy stone, a very high-quality D-grade standard energy stone, [-] credits per piece."

"The army's retired standard mecha is made by mecha master Zou Zhiwu. It embodies the perfect power of the peak of technology. It can be sold for [-] credits."

Su He: "..."

He had a feeling of entering a small town vegetable market, the only difference was that the things sold here were too high-end, and many of them he couldn't understand.

Han Rui seemed to be familiar with this place, he turned his head and asked Su He in a low voice, "What do you want to buy?"

Su He shook his head hesitantly. It wasn't that there was nothing to buy, but that he didn't know what to buy.What's more important is that Su He doesn't have credit points on him. If he guessed correctly, the credit points are the common currency of the federation here or what Han Rui said.

Seeing his hesitation, Han Rui suggested, "Why don't you go shopping first? I'll sell the apples, and I'll find you later."

Su He nodded, and by the way asked Han Rui to dispose of the remaining apple and exchange it for credits.

The two separated here, and Han Rui specially told Su He, "Be careful."

Su He watched Han Rui's figure blend into the crowd, and turned his head to the other direction.As soon as he came in, he saw the big guy parked there. The dark metallic luster was full of beauty, and the streamlined body contained powerful power. It made people feel adrenaline rush when they saw it, and they couldn't look away.

"This is a standard mech that the military has just retired. It is well maintained. It has all the firepower and equipment it should have. A C-level standard energy stone is also given away. It is sold at a cheap price. It only needs [-] credits." He introduced Su He gruffly.

Su He's face was smeared with mud and his expression could not be seen clearly, but his exposed eyes were full of longing.His favorite cartoon when he was a child was "Transformers". At that time, the old man specially asked someone to buy a Transformers toy from the city for him to play with.Although Transformers and mechs are not the same thing, boys, who doesn't have the dream of being a hero in a mecha.

The man looked at Su He and grinned. "like?"

Su He nodded vigorously.

The man patted the big guy behind him, "Kid, work hard to earn credit points. When you have accumulated enough credit points, there will be better ones."

A new equation appeared in Su He's mind, [-] credits = [-] apples, and the seeds in the bag are probably enough if you count it. Do you want to... Su He shook his head as soon as the thought came up, and cut off this by himself Think about it.He doesn't know anything about mechs, so it's a waste to buy them. The most practical thing now is the jammer.

Thinking of the disruptor in his mind, Su He forced himself to leave the mecha booth.After walking for a while, Han Rui came over, "Su He."

"So fast?"

Han Rui pursed his lips and smiled, and asked him, "Where's your terminal? I'll transfer the credits to you."

"……terminal?"

The two looked at each other again, Han Rui guessed that Su He didn't have a terminal, and enthusiastically suggested to him, "May I take you to buy one? A personal terminal is very practical."

It took him 5 minutes to help Suhe popularize what a terminal is.According to Su He's understanding, the personal terminal is more like a combination of computers, mobile phones, bank cards, and ID cards on the earth. It is simple and convenient to wear on the wrist like a watch.Of course, Poxing's personal terminal is somewhat different from the federation's standard terminal. It is a cracked version, and the impractical identity authentication has been cancelled. Only the functions of optical brain, communication and money transfer are retained.

Su He thought for a while that this thing is indeed practical, and asked, "Is one hundred credits enough?"

"Enough, the terminal is cheap."

Han Rui took Su He to the corner of the black market. According to him, the personal terminals in this store are cheap and of good quality.The two chose a black personal terminal according to Su He's preference, and only spent [-] credits.

The stall owner took the initiative: "Do you want to assist the smart phone? The military has just retired. It is very useful for investigation and exploration. It only needs [-] credits."

Han Rui's eyes lit up, and his heart fluttered.The stall owner saw that there was something going on, and immediately took out a round metal ball from the box behind him.Han Rui leaned over. Su He was also very interested at first, but his expression suddenly changed from the corner of his eye, and he walked to a nearby stall in a few steps.

The owner of this stall is a thick-backed middle-aged man with a shaved head and a vicious face, but he is very enthusiastic towards customers.

"A high-quality D-grade energy stone, sold for two hundred credits at a cheap price."

What he was talking about was a palm-sized milky-white stone that was quietly placed on the table.Su He stared at the stone in disbelief. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that the energy stone in the mouth of the stall owner was very similar to the few low-grade spirit stones left by the old man.

For the earth that has entered the age of doom, spirit stones have been extinct for many years.Without spirit stones, the spiritual energy in the world is pitifully thin, more and more orthodoxy has fallen and annihilated, and the inheritance has been cut off.Su He's master luckily found an abandoned spirit stone mine, and relying on a small number of low-grade spirit stones that had not been mined, the inheritance was not cut off.After the old man passed away, the few remaining spirit stones were taken away by him like treasures, and now they are in the backpack behind him.

"Do you want it, little brother?"

Su He was a little hesitant. Whether the energy stone is a spirit stone or not requires mental power to detect it.If so, he may have a breakthrough in the implantation technique that has been stuck at the primary level because of insufficient spirit stones.Even if it's not, there's nothing to lose by just probing.But in this way, there is a danger of being discovered by sentries in the black market. Do you want to take this risk?Su He struggled in his heart like a kitten scratching. The best way is to buy it back and find a safe place before testing.But he had too much credit spread, and it was not suitable for him to borrow money after meeting Han Rui again.Otherwise, he would go back and plant a few apple trees first, and sell the apples before returning?

The longing in Su He's eyes is too obvious, and the stall owner has the best way to deal with this kind of customers.He grabbed the energy stone and forced it into Su He's hand, and said with a smile: "Two hundred points is cheap enough, little brother, don't hesitate."

The moment the energy stone touched the palm of his hand, the planting technique in Su He's body began to operate uncontrollably.A familiar energy came in, and Su He's spiritual world was full of joy.His face became ugly in an instant, and he threw away the energy stone almost immediately, but it was too late.

On the other side of the black market, a huge spiritual lynx jumped onto the nearest stall.The stall owner did not notice its existence.Generally, the spirit body can only be seen by sentries and guides, but some sentries and guides with strong spiritual power can condense the spirit body into an entity, which can be seen by ordinary people.

The bobcat's golden pupils shrunk slightly, and its huge head slowly turned 180 degrees.A tall, muscular man wearing a black overalls vest and trousers of the same color approached the bobcat, with a wicked smile on his handsome face. "Have you found the little baby? I didn't go looking for him, but he actually broke into my territory. Dare to show his spiritual tentacles here, the little guy is really brave."

Shanmao's eyes wandered around the black market little by little, and Su He felt cold sweat all over his body.The next second, Shanmao's eyes fell on Su He suspiciously. Su He didn't dare to take any chances and pulled Han Rui up, and rushed directly to the nearest exit.

"Where are you going?" he asked aloud.

Han Rui pulled him back and turned to the fork on the right.

The man in the black market whistled excitedly, "Two guides? You can't stop luck when it comes."

The kung fu man who blinked had already chased to the fork in the road, and the smell inside made him a little unbearable, but when he thought of the sweet fragrance of that little baby named Su He, he felt that he could endure all the torture of smell now.

Su He didn't dare to look behind him, but just followed Han Rui with his head buried.Han Rui led him around, and when he came across a pipeline that could only accommodate two people side by side, he got in without hesitation. "Hurry up, the front is where the monster meat is processed, and there are several passages leading to the ruins."

A strong smell of blood came out, Su He endured the discomfort and followed Han Rui closely.Walking through the pipes is like a slaughterhouse for monsters.Han Rui skillfully wiped the mud all over while running. Su He didn't need to remind him, he had already mastered this basic skill.The two ran desperately for a long time, then left the underground world and returned to the ruins.

It was already dark outside, and the two "suns" in the sky had set, replaced by a bloody "full moon".Monster roars sounded one after another in the ruins, and the whole wilderness was bathed in blood and desolate.

The two gasped and stopped to look at each other and laughed at the same time. "Sorry." Su He took the initiative, if he hadn't made a mistake, they would not have been discovered.

"It's okay." Han Rui revealed the dimples on his face, "I went to the black market ten times and I was found two or three times. I'm used to running."

Su He was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled.The two did not dare to relax their vigilance, and found a dark beast's lair to hide nearby for the night.Only then did Su He know that Han Rui didn't live in the underground world, but only occasionally went to the black market to trade some things.For wild guides, the underground world with sentinels is much more terrifying than the dark beasts outside.

Under the blood-red night, Han Rui quickly fell asleep.Su He's experience this day was too ups and downs, and he didn't feel sleepy at all after lying down for a long time.Hearing Han Rui's even breathing, he turned over and sat up, pulled the backpack and took out a seed from it, and buried the seed into the ground with one hand and the other.

The milky white light flashed, and in just one breath, the seeds submerged in the ground took root and germinated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and pushed out of the ground to become tender green seedlings.The seedlings grew fast, reaching the height that Su He could reach. The branches and leaves stretched and trembled slightly, and 5 bright red fruits formed.

If someone scans the planet in space at this time, they will find that this miniature fruit tree is the only green that adorns the entire surface of the planet.
