Chapter 9 Strange PlantsAfter saying goodbye to Lao Guang, Qin Fu slowly walked off the plane. Just before the plane was ready to take off again, Lao Guang's voice came again. "[Wedel Town] gathers [Pioneers] from all over the world. You may encounter conflicts here, but I hope you can try to avoid these conflicts and not damage the friendly relations between countries." Qin Fu nodded gently and responded simply: "Try your best." (“Just leave me alone!”) Although this town is small in size, it is full of vitality and prosperity. On both sides of the street, there are various buildings, ranging from luxurious hotels to unique restaurants. What’s even more surprising is that there are entertainment facilities such as KTV, game halls and various sports venues. The most lively place in this small town is the temporary trading point for goods. It is bustling with people. [Pioneer]: "Boss, the price you offered seems to be too low. This pile of alien rat fur should be worth at least several thousand yuan in the market." Merchant: "Little brother, you may have misunderstood the market situation. The demand for Xenopus fur is not great. I can buy it back for a few hundred yuan, which is the best price I can give you."
[Pioneer]: "Well, Boss, could you please estimate the market value of this pot of pet grass seedlings?" Merchant: "This variety of pet grass is indeed loved by many consumers. Considering the market demand, I give an estimated price of 20,000 yuan." [Wedel Town] is one of the entrances to the [Other World] and is also a busy trading center. Because many precious resources obtained by [Pioneers] in [the other world] are traded at the entrance to [the other world]. For example, rare minerals cannot be found on Earth. Their value lies not only in their rarity, but also in their application in various high-tech products. In addition, there are a wide variety of animal furs that are unique in color, texture, and pattern, making them ideal for making high-end clothing and decorative items. Then there are those unique plants whose strange shapes, colors and fragrances are amazing and are the treasures of gardening enthusiasts and herbal researchers. The transaction participants here include not only [pioneers] from various countries, but also businessmen under capital operation. However, the entrance to the [Other World] is not a peaceful place, because the [Pioneers] all possess powerful abilities, and therefore, conflicts often occur here. Suddenly, Qin Fu's footsteps slowly stopped at a bustling temporary trading point for Chinese people. His attention was drawn to an unusual object. It was a strange pistol carefully packed in a transparent glass box, lying quietly among a pile of neglected debris. The appearance of this "pistol" is unique. It is not a cold metal product, but more like a living work of art. The handle is the root of some plant, twisted and powerful, giving people a strong sense of vitality. The muzzle of the gun looks like an open mouth, full of danger. The most shocking thing is that this "mouth" can actually make sounds. It murmurs in a low voice with a hint of desire: "Chirp, I'm so hungry!" The owner of the Chinese Trading Office noticed that Qin Fu was looking at his merchandise carefully, so he took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him. "Little brother, is there anything you need to buy? As a fellow Chinese, I can offer you a 40% discount." Qin Fu pointed at the pistol-like product and asked curiously, "This pistol is very unique. It can even talk?"
"This... This is not a pistol, and it may be dying soon. If you are interested in a pistol, I have many other firearms with excellent functions and unique designs for you to choose from!" "Is it about to die?" Qin Fu asked doubtfully. The boss looked embarrassed and his tone revealed a hint of helplessness. He slowly recounted the origin of the plant and the trouble it had caused. "Alas, when I think of this plant, I feel so unlucky." The boss shook his head and continued, "Just a few days ago, a [Pioneer] from Mei Country was exploring the [Falling Continent] and somehow got this strange plant. This plant is very strange. It can spray liquid from its mouth. Just water it and it can spray water droplets at the speed of bullets. Although these water droplets have no harm, this scene is still quite shocking." The boss recalled the scene at that time, and then continued: "When I saw this plant for the first time, I thought it might be some kind of rare pet grass, and I was very excited. Therefore, I spent more than 20,000 yuan to buy it. I originally thought that I could make a profit from it. After all, this special plant is quite popular in the market." However, the boss's expression gradually became bitter, and he continued, "Who would have thought that this seemingly tiny plant would have such an incredible appetite. It needs to consume the equivalent of a cow's food every day, and needs to take in the equivalent of an adult's blood to replenish water in order to survive. However, the cost of such cultivation is too high, and I cannot make any profit from it." The boss' voice was full of helplessness: "Perhaps because I failed to provide enough food to the plant the day before yesterday, an accident happened yesterday. A customer from the Red Dot Country, who was planning to buy this plant, was attacked by it and even had his arm eaten by it. This incident not only caused me huge financial losses, but also brought me a lot of trouble. At present, I am facing a dilemma. Although I have considered discarding this plant, I am worried that it may cause harm to others. Therefore, I have decided to stop feeding it and let it starve to death." Qin Fu stared at the dying plant. "Boss, how much is this plant? I want it!" The boss responded in surprise: "Shh, are you sure you want to buy it? This plant needs to suck blood to survive. Don't be fooled by its small arms. Once it opens its mouth, it can swallow you whole." "It's okay, let it eat." Qin Fu picked up the glass box containing the plants and prepared to open it. The boss hurriedly reminded: "Hey, hey, hey, hey, I haven't fed it for two days!" Qin Fu still slowly opened the glass box. At that moment, the plant pounced on Qin Fu with incredible speed like a beast ready to attack. It opened its huge mouth, revealing its teeth as sharp as blades, and suddenly bit Qin Fu's upper body. In an instant, Qin Fu's upper body was torn in half. Flesh and blood were scattered all over the place, splattering everywhere like a fountain, staining the surrounding ground red. The boss witnessed all this, his face turned pale in an instant, he opened his mouth and let out a shocked scream. "Wow!" In less than two seconds, Qin Fu was instantly resurrected. The boss had not yet recovered from the initial shock, and when he saw the scene again, he couldn't help but cry out in surprise. "Wow, wow!" After being resurrected, Qin Fu slowly bent down and picked up the plant on the ground. The plant seemed to be attracted by the bloody smell that permeated the surrounding area. It immediately inserted its root into Qin Fu's hand and continued to suck his blood. In less than a minute, Qin Fu's appearance changed drastically, revealing a dead state of a mummy. Just two seconds later, Qin Fu was resurrected again. The boss was so shocked that he was stunned and his jaw dropped to the ground.
After Qin Fu experienced countless times of being devoured by plants and the subsequent resurrection Unexpectedly, after the plant had eaten and drunk its fill...it gradually entered a dormant state in Qin Fu's hands. At this moment, Qin Fu turned to the boss and asked again. "Boss, I want this little monster. How much is it?" "I'll give it to you!" the boss finally recovered from his shock and replied. "Thanks!"
