I Picked Up Talents in the Interstellar Battlefield

chapter 64 - Poisonous Purple Ink Mandragora


Qin Tian, who had been silent, finally spoke, and Zhu Tianyou and the other two immediately felt a tightening in their hearts, quickly and obediently running to his side."Qin Tian Ge, what are your orders?"Xiao Pangzi (Little Fatty) forced a smile, his eyes narrowed into slits, looking quite amusing.Qin Tian looked at their rather nervous expressions and slowly said,"We are here to find someone this time. Our target is a group of Xingdao (Star Pirates). I believe their vigilance will be very strong, and the slightest disturbance around them will attract their attention."Qin Tian did not explicitly state it, but the three immediately understood his meaning."Sorry, Qin Tian Ge, we were too noisy. We'll change immediately."Zhu Tianyou apologized decisively, his speed in kneeling down so fast that it made the corners of the other two's mouths twitch.Hey, you can just talk about yourself, why drag the two of us into it?We still wanted to play a bit longer.To be honest, everyone knew in their hearts that the chances of completing this mission were very low.After all, Twilight Ridge was simply too vast. A group of experienced Xingdao (Star Pirates) entering here would be like fish entering the ocean, almost impossible to find.Although everyone was here for the thousands of credits, on the other hand, they also had plans for some fun.Twilight Ridge was a very famous primeval forest on Silver Gray Star, rich in ecological resources. If they were lucky, they could encounter some spirit beasts and spirit herbs.Young people are always optimistic.It would be best if they could find the Xingdao (Star Pirates). If not, it would still be good to bring back a few spirit herbs or take a few photos of themselves fighting spirit beasts.The most important thing was to be happy.They were unwilling to be timid and cautious, like an old ox, diligently searching for people.How boring that would be~However, under Qin Tian's calm yet oppressive gaze, the two could only obediently lower their heads and follow behind him.It's all your fault!Huang Xiaojia wrinkled her nose at Xiao Pangzi (Little Fatty), her eyes fierce, silently mouthing a few words.Xiao Pangzi (Little Fatty) spread his hands, looking helpless, as if saying, 'What can I do? I'm also desperate~'Xiong Gang sighed. He could already imagine other classmates happily and freely running through the forest, swinging between trees with vines, while they could only ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ silently follow behind Qin Tian, even having to be careful when speaking.Who grouped us together anyway?I hate it!Just like that, the four walked quietly, with no communication throughout, only the rustling sound of their feet on the fallen leaves.As time passed, the lively and cheerful Huang Xiaojia felt truly uncomfortable holding it in. She tugged at Zhu Tianyou's clothes and spoke in a low voice, while cautiously observing Qin Tian's reaction.Seeing that Qin Tian paid no attention to their quiet conversation, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and gradually relaxed."Xiao Pang, what do you think this group of Xingdao (Star Pirates) did to make our school dispatch everyone? You're the most informed; you must have heard something, right?" Huang Xiaojia asked."I don't know exactly what they did, but..."Xiao Pangzi (Little Fatty) glanced at Qin Tian, his chest slightly puffed out, "I asked my family to help inquire. This time, not only our school but also Spiritual Energy Users from two major military legions are participating. Tens of thousands of Spiritual Energy Users are entering Twilight Ridge for a carpet search. You can imagine how serious a crime this group of Xingdao (Star Pirates) must have committed.""But I find one thing very strange. Previously, when the school released missions, they would always specify the target's exact strength. This time, they only provided the appearance of the personnel, not even their names. Don't you think that's a bit strange?""Huh, it seems so."Xiong Gang nodded. As freshmen, many missions in the school were actually not suitable for them, so they usually didn't pay much attention to the mission details.But after Xiao Pang mentioned it, they suddenly realized that this mission did seem a bit off."Hey, then why didn't you say anything in the classroom before?" Huang Xiaojia complained with a pout."At that time, everyone was attracted by the high credits; who would notice such a small detail?"Xiao Pangzi (Little Fatty) explained for himself, saying that not only did he not notice it at the time, but even if he had, as a man, he wouldn't have been the first to withdraw in front of all his classmates.Men, after all, care about their reputation."Then will this mission be very dangerous~?" Huang Xiaojia was a little scared.Many decisions are made in the heat of the moment or under the influence of various opinions.However, after calming down, many people feel regret."It should... be alright."Being asked by Huang Xiaojia like that, Xiao Pangzi (Little Fatty) also suddenly felt a little scared.Qin Tian stood in front of them, and when he heard this conversation, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.Now they finally know fear."What's there to be afraid of? When the soldiers come, we'll block them; when the water comes, we'll cover it with earth. Not all Xingdao (Star Pirates) are strong, and none of us are bad either."Xiong Gang said in a deep voice, full of masculine pride.In front of girls, in front of new classmates, he didn't want to appear timid or cowardly."Mm, Big Bear is right."Xiao Pangzi (Little Fatty) immediately shifted his stance and nodded in agreement.As he spoke, Xiao Pangzi (Little Fatty)'s peripheral vision caught a glimpse of red. He immediately leaned over, squatted down, pushed aside the weeds, and said excitedly,"Look, I found a hong sang hua (red mulberry flower)."hong sang hua (red mulberry flower)?The others moved closer. Huang Xiaojia asked curiously,"What is a hong sang hua (red mulberry flower)? Is it valuable?"Xiao Pangzi (Little Fatty) explained, "The hong sang hua (red mulberry flower) is an auxiliary ingredient for several types of elixirs. A single plant is worth about 5,000 yuan.""Tch, only 5,000."Hearing this number, Huang Xiaojia pouted. For her, a rich young lady, 5,000 was just enough for a meal or a piece of clothing."5,000 is not a small amount. Wealth is accumulated little by little like this."Xiao Pangzi (Little Fatty) put down his backpack, took out a glove and a small shovel from it, and chuckled, "Good thing I was prepared. I anticipated that we would encounter some precious medicinal herbs in Twilight Ridge."Xiao Pangzi (Little Fatty) dug out the hong sang hua (red mulberry flower) completely, root and soil, and placed it in a special medicinal box. As he did so, he said,"I'll keep the hong sang hua (red mulberry flower) for now. When we go back, I'll calculate the price, and the four of us will split it equally.""Whatever you say." Huang Xiaojia and Xiong Gang didn't care much about this. They were both children from wealthy families and didn't care for one or two thousand yuan.Qin Tian looked at Xiao Pang with interest. In fact, one or two thousand yuan was not a large sum for him either.However, he could see from this that Xiao Pangzi (Little Fatty) was a meticulous person, and his concept of wealth was different from other rich second-generation heirs; he understood the principle of accumulating small amounts to make a large sum.In the future, Xiao Pang might not become a powerful Spiritual Energy User, but he would most likely become an excellent businessman.The group continued to move forward. Along the way, Xiao Pangzi (Little Fatty)'s eyes seemed to have a locator installed, always accurately discovering medicinal herbs hidden in grass, rock crevices, and tree branches. Some were worth thousands, others tens of thousands.It was then that Qin Tian realized that Xiao Pangzi (Little Fatty)'s family was in the herbal medicine business. He had been immersed in it since childhood, gradually becoming an expert in this field. With just a glance, he could explain the efficacy, uses, and growth environment of a herb in great detail."Oh, what kind of herb is this? It's my first time seeing it."In a moss-covered rock crevice, a purple nine-petaled flower swayed, its petals intricately veined, like strange paintings."There are herbs you don't know?" Huang Xiaojia asked.Xiao Pangzi (Little Fatty) chuckled inwardly, then humbly waved his hand, "Oh, I'm not that amazing. There are many herbs I don't recognize. However, even if I don't recognize them, I have a way to identify them."Xiao Pang opened his smart bracelet, took a photo of the herb, and uploaded it to a software."This is the 'Herb Encyclopedia' software produced by the Oriental Family. After uploading a picture, the system backend can accurately identify the type, use, market price, and so on. However, using this software requires a membership fee of 5 million per year, so ordinary people really can't afford it."Drip, drip.Soon, the system backend provided an answer.Upon seeing the text on the screen, Xiao Pangzi (Little Fatty)'s body trembled, and he stumbled back two steps."Oh my god, this is a purple ink mandala, a highly poisonous flower!"Highly poisonous flower?Qin Tian's eyes lit up.
