The old man ignored him and looked at MeiIn, "How many people do you have in your team now? If there's a spot, bring him along. Luckily, I met you, or else I wouldn't have been able to find someone who could control this kid."
He knew his grandson very well. Even if he became a teammate, he was afraid that he would always want to spar and fight. Maine was the only person of his age he had seen who was similar to Long Teng.
MeiIn shook his head, "No, he's always thinking about fighting. It's a waste of time."
The old man grabbed Long Teng's ear, "Quick, swear to him that you won't fight anyone during the tournament."
"Grandpa, let go!" Long Teng moved closer to the old man's neck to prevent his ear from being pulled, "There are so many opponents in the tournament, we'll definitely fight!"
The old man glared at him, "If you fight casually, the others will target you. You won't even be able to get a permit to enter the city."
Xie Sen opened his mouth and asked MeiIn, "How many members can we confirm?"
MeiIn had asked Bai Jiao, but he didn't know if he had found anyone else, so he decided to confirm it first.
"Three," MeiIn said.
Xie Sen's eyes lit up, "Bai Jiao agreed?"
MeiIn nodded. Xie Sen said, "Why don't we let Long Teng team up with us? There'll be four of us."
The protagonist and the villain had teamed up and fought together, so they might form a friendship and not stand on opposite sides in the future.
Moreover, he felt that the more friends MeiIn made, the lower the possibility of him becoming a villain.
MeiIn looked at him, "You want him to join us?"
Xie Sen smiled, "We're neighbors, and he's very strong. Don't you want to be the champion? He'll be a great help. "
Xie Sen suddenly realized that if Long Teng joined, wouldn't his teammates be the "strongest team" mentioned on the forum?
Suddenly, he felt a lot of pressure. He had to speed up his improvement!
Was it because he wanted to win the championship? MeiIn glanced at Xie Sen and said to Long Teng, "You can join, but you have to listen to me. You can't fight on your own."
Long Teng's baby face puffed up, clearly dissatisfied. Sir System opened his palm and pinched it, causing the puffiness to disappear instantly. His lips were forced to pout. Sir System urged, "Hurry up and agree."
Long Teng said in a muffled voice, "I agree, I agree. Grandpa, let go of me!"
The old man loosened his grip and smiled. "That's great. Please take good care of Little Teng when the time comes."
Having achieved its goal, Sir System happily grabbed Long Teng and left the apartment.
Xie Sen knew that the first thing MeiIn did every day when she came back was to take a bath. Now that she had already wasted a lot of time, he said to MeiIn, "I'll go make dinner. You go take a bath first."
MeiIn glanced at him and walked towards the bedroom. Xie Sen received a notification that his energy level had increased by one. He looked at his back and smiled.
During dinner, Xie Sen thought of Sir System's words and asked MeiIn, "The thing you said that is illegal and needs to be kept a secret, is it pointing out the city?"
The matter was already very clear. There was no need to hide it anymore. MeiIn nodded. "Yes."
Xie Sen was puzzled. "Didn't you say that you can't leave the city without permission? How did you get out? "
"I'm from the Information Department."
Xie Sen suddenly understood. "You tampered with your information and made a fake permission to leave the city?"
"Yes, I planned to destroy the fake permission after the Elite League. I can guarantee that there won't be any traces left." MeiIn glanced at Xie Sen. "If it's discovered, you'll also be implicated if you don't report it."
Xie Sen smiled. He knew that MeiIn did not do anything bad. He felt relieved. "So you've always said that it's a secret?"
"Yes." MeiIn said, "It was an accident that it was exposed in advance. I didn't expect Long Teng's grandfather to be able to smell the source of the blood. He's very powerful."
Xie Sen nodded in agreement. He asked curiously, "Why did you leave the city? Sir System said that the blood on your body came from a long-haired wild boar. Are you in danger? "
"No, I left the city to hunt. Hunting can train my skills. I can also sell the animals I hunt for money."
"That's very powerful." Xie Sen praised. No wonder he was as powerful as Long Teng. He was always training. "Are you short of money?"
"Not at the moment. I'm just preparing in advance." MeiIn did not hide anything. "If there's a giant lion on the market, I can't buy it without money. If I go find it myself, I'll need enough money."
Xie Sen looked at MeiIn's flawless face and admired him. He was older than MeiIn during the apocalypse, but he was not as well-planned as MeiIn.
"You're very powerful." Xie Sen sighed again. He could not help but feel sorry for MeiIn. His peers probably had the help of their relatives when they looked for contract beasts, but he could only rely on himself.
MeiIn chuckled and looked at him without saying anything. Xie Sen thought about the league. "Do we need to get to know each other in advance and make a plan?"
"No need." MeiIn said without thinking.
At night, Xie Sen finished training the pepper tree. After taking a shower, he sat on the bed and browsed through the forum. There were many recruitment posts on the forum. The strategy post was also floating at the top.
He clicked on it and saw that the post owner had not updated. He browsed through the comments but did not find any useful information.
For the next few days, Xie Sen was very active in his work. Except for his lunch break, he was busy almost all the time. Sometimes he would work overtime for an hour.
Sun Mao was full of praise for him. He said that he would apply to the HR Department to let him become a permanent member in advance.
Xie Sen was only looking for energy. He did not expect to receive such a pleasant surprise. He was very happy. Although the matter had not been settled, he still thanked Sun Mao very sincerely.
Soon, it was his weekend. After breakfast, he went straight to the supermarket and bought a lot of children's toys and daily necessities. Then he went to the orphanage.
The orphanage he went to was the largest one. After he arrived, he was warmly welcomed. He gave out gifts and played games with the children until lunchtime.
When he returned to the shuttle, he immediately collapsed. The children were too energetic, but the return was huge. In the morning, he received more than 30 energy points.
He slept on the shuttle for an hour before eating lunch. After lunch, he rested for a while and went to the supermarket to buy 50 pounds of meat and some daily necessities. Then he went to the slums.
Xie Sen handed the meat to a dark-skinned man. The man took it with a smile. He turned around and said to himself in a mocking tone, "Is he an idiot? He has so much money that he has nothing to do."
Xie Sen's smile froze. The people in the queue behind him urged him to continue, so he quickly continued to give out gifts.
The process of giving out money was very smooth, but the harvesting of energy was not so smooth. It was completely different from the orphanage. There were many people who had the same idea as the dark-skinned man.
Fortunately, not everyone had the same idea. Some people were grateful and praised him for being a good child. There were also people who actively asked him if he had a partner and wanted to be a matchmaker.
After Xie Sen delivered the gifts, he quickly returned to the shuttle and drove it back to the apartment. Although the harvest in the slums was not big, the total amount of energy he received in one day was a record high, more than 50.
Just a little more and he would be able to activate the second plant!
Xie Sen returned to the apartment and decided to temporarily give up on the slums. He found all the orphanages in Star City. There were a total of five orphanages. He made a list according to their distance.
The child birth rate on Brent Star was decreasing year by year. Children were very precious. Most of the children in the orphanage were sent there because of sudden changes in their families.
The staff of the orphanage told him that there were many partners who applied for adoption every day. The children would rarely stay in the orphanage for more than a month.
If it were not for the strict adoption procedures, the orphanage would not have a single child.
The next day, he went to two more orphanages, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The orphanage he went to in the morning was very small. There were only six children. He gave them gifts and played with them for the whole morning. When he left, the children were very reluctant to leave.
He found that the children returned energy not because of the gifts, but because he played with them.
There were thirteen children in the orphanage he went to in the afternoon. He was playing games with them when he suddenly felt a warm feeling in his head. A green hard book appeared in his mind.
The pages of the book slowly opened. Green leaves gradually appeared on the blank second page, and countless slender roots appeared below.
[Congratulations, Master. Activated plant: Potato. Each fruit requires one point of energy. The density is up to you.]
Xie Sen's eyes instantly lit up. He swallowed silently. Potato!
"Brother Xie, I caught you!" Someone hugged his leg, and he came back to his senses. A little boy lifted the cloth over his eyes and looked up at him with a happy smile.
"Well, I'm coming to catch you guys. Go hide."
Xie Sen played with them for the whole afternoon. After using one hundred points of energy to activate the potato, he still had nine points of energy left.
When he returned to the apartment, he could not wait to summon the potato in his room. Since the fruit of the potato grew on the root, the summoned potato was complete, including the roots.
The two plants he had activated in the apocalypse were the red pepper and the potato. He knew their abilities very well.
The branches of the potato could not shrink, but the roots could. It was just that the toughness was very poor, and it did not have any attack power, just like the branches of the red pepper tree.
When he activated the potato, the keyword given by the system was' density '! This meant that its ability was related to its density.
He wondered if the potato had changed since the apocalypse. Xie Sen thought about it and hesitated for a moment. He looked at the word 'exchange' and chose one point. He exchanged one point of energy for one potato.
Suddenly, a palm-sized yellow potato appeared at the root of the potato. He reached out and held it to feel its weight. Then, he kept giving orders in his mind to change the density of the potato from high to low.
As the density decreased, the potato became bigger. He would drag it with his hand from time to time, but the total weight of the potato did not change.
He continued to give orders to increase the density, and the potato became smaller and smaller. Finally, it became the size of a marble. He felt the weight. If he threw it with force, the attack power was not bad.
After confirming that the potato did not change and also understood the direction of its training, Xie Sen decided to start training after eating. He looked at the potato and thought for a moment. He made it double its original size and then plucked it.
As long as the potato was connected to the root, it would change according to his orders. If the connection to the root was broken, it would not change.
The taste of the potato would become lighter when it became bigger, but it was good enough to have vegetables to eat. He did not pursue the perfect taste.
Even if the taste was diluted by half, it would not be bad. Such a big potato could be fried in a big plate.
MeiIn returned to the apartment. When he opened the door, he smelled an unprecedented fragrance. He entered the apartment and was about to close the door when a hand stopped him. He stretched his neck to look into the apartment and swallowed his saliva: "It smells so good. What are you cooking?"
