#587 - Chapter 585: Set a Small Goal

“Senior, why can't your ability directly heal their illnesses?”

“Humans have limitations and boundaries; no ability is omnipotent.”

Zhu Qing'an explained:

“Whether it's macroscopic or microscopic, both are extremes, and there's no difference in the consumption of Source Energy.”

Everyone knows that when using abilities on a very large object, a lot of Source Energy is consumed.

But few people know that when an object is very small, using abilities on it also consumes a lot of Source Energy.

Of course, this is on the premise of precise work.

For example, performing a delicate surgery with a surgical needle requires a lot of effort, whereas cutting it off entirely only requires one slice.

And performing surgery on tens of thousands of cells for these two people undoubtedly consumes a lot of Source Energy and effort. With Zhu Qing'an's total Source Energy, she can only heal a small portion, which is why she needs Qi Jing's automatic magical items to passively heal them.

“Climbing to a high place and waving does not make the arm longer, but those who see you are farther away; calling out with the wind does not make the voice louder, but those who hear you hear more clearly.

Since you have such convenient tools, there's no need for me to rely on myself and waste time.”

Qi Jing nodded:

“That's true; my healing magical items are still very useful. It's necessary to have Yan Cheng replicate a bit more.”

Or, draw a few more healing magical items.

Counterfeit products will eventually run out; having one for everyone is the most stable!

“You're purely treating me like a slave!”

When Yan Cheng heard Qi Jing mention him again and again, he drooped his face and lay directly on the White Dog Cloud:

“I'm so tired; I'm not doing it anymore. I want to lie flat! Qi, I want to be the captain!”

“Alright, Captain Yan, what good ideas do you have next?”

“Oh? Then this captain shall issue orders.”

Unexpectedly, Qi Jing would actually agree; Yan Cheng excitedly sat up and said:

“First of all, we should change our target. The threat of this milky-white demon mushroom is very great, even more important than finding your treasure.

If we leave it alone, it might spread to the entire Giant Beast Forest. As an outstanding person who loves small animals, I think it's necessary to eliminate them as soon as possible!”

Yan Cheng adjusted his non-existent glasses:

“Since we discovered them, these hyphae have spread over a large area through the air. Judging from such a terrifying rate of spread, it proves that it hasn't been around for very long; otherwise, it would have already dominated the entire forest.

But it only spreads quickly, while its growth rate is very slow. From this, we can see that there must be one or several large demon mushrooms spreading these small hyphae everywhere.

So, let's set a small goal: first use the compass to find those large milky-white demon mushrooms, then eliminate these hyphae, and finally find your treasure.”

Listening to Yan Cheng's well-reasoned explanation, the rest of the group who had come over also nodded in agreement.

It seemed that was indeed the case.

The treasure wouldn't run away and could be searched for later, while the matter of the milky-white demon mushrooms was somewhat urgent.

Qi Jing gently patted Yan Cheng's shoulder, revealing a shocked expression:

“Captain Yan, I didn't realize you actually have a brain. Alright, we'll listen to you; let's go find those large demon mushrooms first.”

“Why do you say 'have a brain'? Explain yourself clearly! I've always had a brain, okay!”

Song Jiang also imitated Qi Jing's expression and echoed:

“You actually always had one?! Wow! I thought you were a brainless creature!”

Yan Cheng rolled his eyes at him:

“Among this group of people, you're the least qualified to say that to me, right!”

“What about me?”

Song Jiang asked, puzzled:

“Why am I not qualified?”

“Look at your question; does it seem appropriate?”

Yan Cheng pointed at him with one hand, revealing ten white teeth and tilting his head, laughing mockingly.

Zhu Qing'an didn't continue this topic and said to him:

“Captain, the largest milky-white demon mushroom is over there.”

“Hey, Senior, don't call me that; he's the captain.”

Yan Cheng quickly denied the fact that he was the captain.

If he was called captain by Qi Jing, he would feel happy and comfortable, but being called that by a cold senior like Zhu Qing'an, he would only feel fear.

It was like the usually serious director of the Academic Affairs Office suddenly calling him "Young Master"; it was just wrong in so many ways.

“Alright, let's go this way!”

Qi Jing decided:

“Anyway, it's only a difference of a dozen degrees from our original route; let's just do a good deed along the way.”

One hour later.

Under the protection of the Wind God's Blessing shield, they passed through a large forest and arrived in front of a small mountain.

Along the way, there were more and more hyphae in the air. By the time they reached the small mountain, it had almost turned into a smog-like scene, with particularly low visibility.

However, Qi Jing's Observation Haki was still unaffected:

“There are several large holes blasted out in front, and they're relatively new. They should have been created in the past two days. It seems there was a great battle here.”

“Xiao Bai, get closer and take a look!”

Han Yinuo commanded the White Dog Cloud, carrying everyone, to fly downwards, wanting to get closer to see what kind of pits they were.

“Oh? Isn't this where I caught the Jun Apes the day before yesterday!”

A voice that everyone was unfamiliar with suddenly came from the rear of the White Dog Cloud.

Everyone looked back and found that Bu Luofen, who had been lying down just now, had woken up. He had one foot on the edge of the cloud, propping up his chin with one hand, and said in a cool pose:

“We encountered three Jun Apes and some large white demon mushrooms here before.

We caught two Jun Apes, and one escaped. As for the white demon mushrooms, they were all killed by me with the朔日之矛 (Shuo Ri Zhi Mao, Spear of the New Moon).

These large pits were created by this handsome guy.”

Han Yinuo opened her mouth and asked:

“Um, let me ask, what did you use to capture the Jun Apes?”

Bu Luofen retracted his leg, gave a gentleman's salute, and said “elegantly”:

“Hello, beautiful lady. If you want to ask me what I used to capture the Jun Apes, it's of course the easy-to-use and labor-saving Dark Parasitic Spider.

Using it can maximize the preservation of the Jun Ape's body and obtain spoils. After use, it can automatically die, which can be said to be very environmentally friendly.

Besides being a bit expensive, it has almost no other shortcomings and is very suitable for excellent people like me.”

After speaking, he stretched out his arm, took Han Yinuo's right hand, and prepared to kiss it.

In an instant, a five-claw-shaped popsicle was freshly baked.

Seeing this scene, a trace of doubt arose in Qi Jing's mind.

What the hell, wasn't he a simp? Didn't he never look at other girls? How could he take the initiative to flirt with Senior Han?

Could it be that he's no longer love-brained?

Zhu Qing'an asked:

“How many Dark Parasitic Spiders did you use to capture those two Jun Apes?”

“Oh, beautiful lady, as a stable person, I naturally used ten times the amount needed to capture them.

Unfortunately, one still escaped.

Those hateful large white mushrooms had to come and stop this handsome guy's actions; they truly deserved to die.”
