Chapter 2528: If Only She Had Spiritual Energy!
After she filled up the pot of water, Ning Shu carried it back to their tent. She continued going to and fro the river and the tent for some time.
The weather was already extremely hot, and Ning Shu had to go to the river many times to fill up the water tank.
After she finally filled the water tank, Ning Shu was so tired that she stuck out her tongue like a dog. She rested for a while and wiped the sweat off her face. Then, she stood up and readied herself to dig through the garbage again.
“I’m going out, alright? Be careful while you’re home alone. I’ll come back after I find something,” Ning Shu said to Alviss.
Alviss nodded. “Be careful. Don’t worry if you can’t find anything. If others want it, don’t resist them too hard. You’ll get beaten up.”
“Alright.” Ning Shu took a rag and tied it to her head.
The sun was too vicious here.
Ning Shu found a garbage mountain that could provide her with some shade. She sat cross-legged under the garbage mountain and began to cultivate.
If she didn’t have enough physical strength, how was she supposed to do anything?
Just walking for a bit would get her so tired to the point that she’d be out of breath. She also had to be afraid of the cold.
If only she had spiritual energy! With it, she would be able to endure the cold.
The living conditions on this planet were so awful…
Ning Shu cultivated for a long time. Sweat rolled down her forehead. When she opened her eyes, Ning Shu helplessly sighed.
There was no damn use to cultivating here. There was simply no spiritual energy to absorb! She also didn’t even have enough food to get energy from.
Ning Shu had some other cultivation manuals that she could use besides the Unsurpassable Martial Arts, but they were all useless without spiritual energy.
All martial arts manuals explained how to extract and absorb the qi, or spiritual energy, in the air.
How was she supposed to extract and absorb spiritual energy when there was none?
Perhaps in the near future, Planet Sehlde would no longer be suitable for human survival.
Ning Shu closed her eyes and began to cultivate again. She didn’t know how much time she had wasted. Not only did Ning Shu fail to extract any spiritual energy, but because of frequent circulation of her core, some dirty air had entered her body.
Ning Shu patted her chest and coughed. She felt black air coming out of her lungs.
Life felt so tragic.
Ning Shu could only hope that the attribute points she had added to herself would give this body some advantages.
What was she supposed to do when she was so weak?
How was she supposed to leave Planet Sehlde?
Ning Shu stopped cultivating and started rummaging through the garbage, hoping that she could find something edible.
Her tasks were only growing weirder and weirder, and also more difficult to complete.
Inwardly, Ning Shu prayed that she’d be able to find something edible.
As Ning Shu scavenged, she found some large items of garbage that she couldn’t move.
Ning Shu was really living like a rat. In order to survive, she had to search for food in the endless mountains of garbage.
Ning Shu also wanted to live like a ruling queen, but the current conditions did not allow for that.
The sun was scorching on her body. Ning Shu felt that her back was probably sunburned. It was burning hot.
Even the back of her hand had turned a deep shade of red because of the sun.
Ning Shu felt a little dizzy. After searching for Heaven-knew-how-long, Ning Shu found a jar with what seemed like pickled vegetables inside it.
Ning Shu was surprised to find this. She couldn’t imagine people who lived in interstellar systems eating pickled vegetables.
She wiped her hands on her body and dipped her fingers into the jar. It tasted sour. Seemed like it really was some pickled vegetables.
There were also some fruits and strange vegetable stalks inside the jar.
Whatever. As long as it was edible, Ning Shu would just take it back and cook it in boiling water to sterilize it.
As long as she boiled it with water, she could kill some of the bacteria in it.
As for those bacteria that she couldn’t kill by boiling, well… There was nothing she could do about them. Besides, if she didn’t eat this, her only choice would be to starve to death.
Ning Shu was ready to go back with the jar in her arms. Today wasn’t too bad! She got a little harvest.
However, before she went far, a group of little kids surrounded her.
Ning Shu glared at them. Why did it seem like they were always watching her?
Did they think she was easy to bully? The last time that they robbed her, she was caught off-guard, since she didn’t know what the situation was like. This time, she wouldn’t let them rob her again.
Their leader stared at what Ning Shu had in her arms. His eyes gleamed, and he began to salivate.
