Chapter 110: The Value Of Lemon Tea

Lian Tianci nodded, then pushed the small plastic bottle toward Gu Lingjian and calmly said, "Captain Gu, you should try this lemon tea first before we talk."

Gu Lingjian looked at Lian Tianci’s calm face for a moment, then picked up the small plastic bottle. He hesitated for a second before taking a small sip of the lemon tea.

The moment he swallowed the lemon tea, his eyes widened in shock. Holding the bottle, he looked at Lian Tianci and said, "Captain Lian, this is—!"

Lian Tianci nodded. "This is what I’m going to talk about with you."

Placing the small plastic bottle on the table, Gu Lingjian thought for a few seconds, then looked at Lian Tianci.

"Captain Lian, this lemon tea not only refreshes the mind, but it can also replenish my energy."

After saying that, Gu Lingjian raised his index finger, and a small fireball appeared above his fingertip.

Whoosh!

Lian Tianci glanced at the small fireball, then looked at Gu Lingjian and asked, "Captain Gu, what do you mean by that?"

Gu Lingjian made the fireball disappear, then explained, "Captain Lian, you should know that my team also joined last night’s battle against the black vines."

Lian Tianci nodded. "I heard about that from my vice-captain."

After he said that, Gu Lingjian continued, "Then, do you know that I exhausted my ability during that battle?"

When Lian Tianci heard this, his eyes flickered for a second.

As an ability user, Lian Tianci knew how long it took to replenish his energy. Even a Level 1 ability user needed at least two days to fully recover their energy, not to mention Level 2 ability users like Gu Lingjian and himself.

After a moment of thought, Lian Tianci asked, "Captain Gu, are you sure that this lemon tea can replenish an ability user’s energy?"

Gu Lingjian nodded. "Maybe because I only took a small sip, the effect isn’t very clear."

He paused for a second, then continued, "I believe that Captain Lian also knows that the headache we are experiencing isn’t caused only by a lack of sleep, but also by overusing our abilities."

"Yes." Lian Tianci confirmed his words.

Gu Lingjian pointed to the small plastic bottle, then added, "Since this lemon tea can ease our headaches, I suspect that it can also replenish our energy at the same time."

When Lian Tianci heard this, his expression turned serious.

Seeing this, Gu Lingjian thought for a moment, and then asked, "Captain Lian, do you have a way to obtain more lemon tea?"

Lian Tianci nodded, then replied, "I do."

Noticing his hesitation, Gu Lingjian added, "Captain Lian, if you have something to say, feel free to tell me."

Lian Tianci looked at his sincere expression for a few seconds, then reached into his pocket and took something out. Placing the object on the table, he explained, "Captain Gu, we are using this crystal to buy the lemon tea."

When Gu Lingjian saw the transparent crystal, he was slightly surprised.

Picking up the crystal, he took a closer look, then asked doubtfully, "Is there really someone willing to sell lemon tea for this kind of thing?"

Lian Tianci nodded and told him about his conversation with Yuan Li.

After listening to Lian Tianci’s explanation, Gu Lingjian sighed and spoke with a hint of regret in his voice.

"My team and I found a lot of crystals inside zombies’ brains when we were carrying out our mission in Ji City. If I had known that this thing could be exchanged for lemon tea, I would have collected them all."

Looking at Gu Lingjian’s regretful expression, Lian Tianci calmly comforted him.

"Captain Gu, you don’t need to regret what has already been missed. Since we now know that the young lady accepts these crystals, we can simply collect them while we are on our way back to Lie Huo Military Base."

Remembering that there was still a three-day journey before they reached the Lie Huo Military Base, Gu Lingjian smiled slightly.

"Captain Lian is right. I’m going to inform my team about this news. We might begin collecting the crystals tomorrow."

Lian Tianci nodded in agreement. "Very well. Please inform me if you plan to go out tomorrow. I will send two teams to go with you."

"Good."

Since they had finished their discussion, Gu Lingjian stood up and added, "It’s not early anymore, so I won’t disturb your rest. Captain Lian, see you tomorrow morning."

"Alright. See you tomorrow morning, Captain Gu."

After Gu Lingjian left the tent, Lian Tianci took the remaining lemon tea and took a small sip. Closing his eyes, he carefully sensed the energy inside his body.

A few seconds later, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the plastic bottle in his hand. Filled with surprise and hope, his fingers tightened around the plastic bottle.

Swallowing hard, Lian Tianci thought with a mix of surprise, excitement, and a little fear, ’My God, who is that young lady, really?’

Not knowing that she had become the center of a discussion between two powerful captains, Liu Yun, who was sitting around a small bonfire, was in the middle of a dilemma.

Looking at the transparent blue screen displaying more than a dozen food icons in front of her, she frowned slightly and thought, ’Mhm, now that I have more options to choose from, what should I eat for tonight?’

After she leveled up, Liu Yun found out that not only had more products appeared in the Multiverse Farmland Store, but more products had also appeared in the System Store.

While she was still comparing the prices of the food in the System Store, Gu Zhenwei returned with more dried branches in his arms.

Placing the dried branches on the ground, he sat beside Qiu Sixun and asked, "Younger Sister Liu, what’s for tonight’s dinner?"

Liu Yun looked up from the System Store’s interface, then replied, "Elder Brother Gu, I’m tired of eating canned food. Do you want to try some vegetable dishes tonight?"

The second she said this, Ye Xuan, who was sitting beside her, suddenly covered her mouth and looked around vigilantly.
