Chapter 5 The Age of Hunger (Revised)
It was late at night, but Ye Chuan was not tired at all. He held the Aurora Capsules in his hand and asked curiously: "When Aurora Armor evaluated me for potential, he said that my potential was zero. This evaluation should be very poor, right?"
Xiaobai smiled and said, "Master, zero is not the worst potential, but your potential genetic testing system cannot understand. The system cannot determine the number of your potential index, and can only be expressed by zero."
"Now, the seeds of the tree of life have taken root and sprouted in the owner's body. It will slowly grow from a sapling! Those warriors who gain power from genetic transformation will have limits in their power development, but a tree of life will never have limits! As long as the owner is still alive, the tree of life will continue to grow, making the owner stronger and stronger!"
After changing the subject, Xiaobai said seriously: "But I said just now that the speed superpower is the strongest and the most difficult. Assuming that the master can increase the genetic power to 100, the aurora can make the master reach a speed of 100 meters in seconds! The genetic power is one thousand, and after wearing the aurora it will be at least one thousand seconds!"
"So master, from today on, you need to train hard. In addition to all the key points of the warrior's journey, you also need to learn alpha code. These are the foundations for becoming a real strong man."
Ye Chuan focused on the key points, and learning was never a problem for him. There was no novice in the past. Ye Chuan relied on himself to chew the difficult alpha code, let alone now.
If the aurora is the embodiment of power, Xiaobai represents wisdom.
The designer of this set of genetic armor is very comprehensive. On the basis of Aurora, Xiaobai, a cute robot dog, was added. Ye Chuan can not only gain power from Aurora, but also learn all the knowledge he should master from Xiaobai.
First of all, it was physical training. Xiaobai guided Ye Chuan to perform a very difficult weird physical technique. He often had to twist his body to an incredible angle. Ye Chuan's eyes were full of fire, but he still encouraged and supported him.
It is said that this set of physical techniques can make Ye Chuan flexible, muscle strength, and even thinking speed.
However, for Ye Chuan, the most intuitive feeling after practicing this set of physical skills is that his mind is getting clearer and clearer.
Usually after training, the soldiers are so tired that they lie on the ground like a dead dog, and they don’t want to do anything except sleep.
Ye Chuan's body was also very tired, but his mind was even more awake than before training. It was almost early in the morning and he was not sleepy at all.
At this time, Xiaobai seized the opportunity to start Alpha language guidance. Nowadays, almost everything in this world is encapsulated. Assuming Ye Chuan masters enough writing skills, it may be a good thing. Maybe one day Ye Chuan can also write top-level capsules such as space warships.
Before he knew it, the sky was bright and Ye Chuan finished washing up with some dissatisfaction. Xiaobai smiled and handed Ye Chuan a list that had been prepared long ago.
"What is this?" Ye Chuan frowned and asked curiously.
"These are all nutrients that accelerate the growth of the tree of life, just as trees need to be watered and fertilized to thrive. Although the seeds of the tree of life have been planted into the human body, they still need to add some nutrition to it." Xiaobai explained.
Xiaobai is very small, and Ye Chuan's fist is big, and it is not conspicuous in his pocket. So Ye Chuan took his savings and took him away from home and took the bus to the bustling main urban area. The things Xiaobai asked Ye Chuan to buy were not something that could be bought in the slums.
Where the bus station is located, there are always many simple vendors selling simple food, mostly mixed grain steamed buns, and high-end ones include glutinous rice cakes, soy milk, buns. The lower class of society works hard every day, and often has no time to eat breakfast. They buy a black steamed bun and drink some water, which can be solved on the bus.
Ye Chuan was already a little hungry at this moment, so he paid a dollar to buy a black steamed bun and started to chew it.
This kind of black steamed bun is not made of black rice, but is steamed with black potatoes and a little cornmeal. It is the staple food of most people in this era. It has a faint sweet taste in their mouths and is not difficult to swallow.
But if you eat something like black steamed buns, you feel full, but you digest it very quickly. It won’t take long to get hunger again.
There is no way. The prices in this era are generally relatively low, but the prices of food are getting higher and higher. Black steamed buns costing one dollar are the cheapest food. The prices of black steamed buns have not increased in recent years, but they are getting smaller and smaller.
After all, nowadays, land is cultivated in cities. As the population increases, the contradiction between land and population becomes more and more obvious.
The reason why potatoes are a little black is because of the improvement of varieties and the requirements for soil and environment are very low. Nowadays, people in the south have given up the habit of eating rice and instead eat potatoes.
It’s not that they don’t like to eat rice, but that no one can afford it. At most, when family members are sick, they buy a pound of rice and cook some white porridge. If they can put two spoons of sugar into the white porridge, it would be a very rare meal.
As for meat, eggs and milk, more delicious foods have basically disappeared from the people's dining tables. Even vegetables and fruits can be rarely seen. The supplementation of vitamins and trace elements depends on pills, and most people's bodies are supported by black potatoes and vitamin tablets.
Of course, no matter what era there are poor and rich people, the quality of life of the rich is basically unaffected. They still eat what they should eat and drink what they should drink. The luxuriously decorated high-end restaurants in the city still provide precious ingredients such as ginger, abalone, ginger, which the people dare not imagine.
"Master, the quality of these foods is really poor. Now your body has planted the tree of life. Suppose you always eat so efficiently, it will affect the growth of the tree of life." Xiaobai couldn't help but nag when he saw Ye Chuan only ate one black steamed bun for breakfast.
After Xiaobai said this, Ye Chuan thought it made sense. After all, he is not an ordinary person without genetic power. The tree of life has already taken root and sprouted in his body. He is not scared because he is wronged. The tree of life cannot grow and cannot become a genetic warrior. That would be a loss.
Ye Chuan got off the car at the Guangzhou branch of the Mercenary Alliance and did not go directly to the sales hall. Instead, he went to a small restaurant next to him and ordered a bowl of egg noodles.
The so-called egg noodles actually don’t even have a complete egg, just a ball of noodles and half an egg cut from the middle. In addition, there are a few vegetables floating, which is the entire content of this bowl of noodles.
Even such a bowl of noodles with no water in clear soup will be sold at an astonishing fifteen yuan. There is no way, the food is expensive, and the yield of flour is far smaller than that of potatoes. If all arable land is planted with wheat or rice, it will be impossible to fill everyone's stomach.
As for eggs, they are eggs laid by hens! Feeding a hen consumes food, and malnutrition hens will strike. In this era when humans are not full, what should they use to feed the hens? So the cost of eggs can be explained.
In contrast, the price of buses is really conscience in the industry. From one end of the city to the other end, no matter how far it is, it only costs one cent.
