11 Too Slow

Zhang Bei planted the thorny brambles one by one, then wiped his sweat and watered the soil.

"I hope it can grow faster. I don't know when danger will come again." Zhang Bei looked at the vast universe with a helpless expression.

After finishing these things, Zhang Bei felt hungry, so he took out a packet of instant noodles and ham sausage from the storeroom and two pieces of bread.

"Back on Earth, my stomach would already be full from eating half a packet of instant noodles. Now, I can eat two more pieces of bread after finishing my work. As expected, hard work makes people hungry." Zhang Bei gnawed on the bread. "People still have to exercise more. Good health ~ Good appetite ~" Zhang Bei couldn't help but sing happily.

The greatest advantage of humans was their optimistic view. Regardless of the conditions, they could find a way to make themselves happy.

Zhang Bei plugged the kettle in the energy device and made instant noodles. Then, while waiting for instant noodles, he opened the World Channel.

Zhang Bei read their conversation and couldn't help but feel worried.

"Something passed by? Logically speaking, there should be no life in space." Zhang Bei frowned. "If there are lifeforms that can ignore the space environment and walk freely, wouldn't humans be in great danger?"

Zhang Bei suddenly thought of 008. "If 008 is also a creature from some planet, then the civilization on that planet must be much higher than ours."

He thought for a long time. He only pulled his thoughts back when he heard the sound of boiling water.

"System, resources…" Zhang Bei felt like a large hand was controlling this universe.

"Even if someone is controlling it, what can I do?" Then, he picked up the cup of noodles and started eating.

While eating, Zhang Bei continued to read the chat.

"Sigh… I was quite happy when I picked up some bread just now. But when I saw it was red bean bread, I was so irritated."

"F*ck, f*ck, f*ck, isn't it good to pick up bread??? I've only fucking eaten a piece of bread so far."

"Seriously! You can still afford to be picky! That's too much!"

"Brother Dog1, you are too insatiable!"

The person said, "I'm f*cking allergic to red beans! I'm in despair too!"

Then, everyone suddenly became lively.

"Hahahahahaha, brother dog, you're too miserable!"

"Brother Dog, why don't we exchange?"

"Previous poster, are you planning to exchange the chives you dug out from the cracks of your teeth for this? Hahahahahaha."

When Zhang Bei saw that someone wanted to trade the bread, he immediately ran to the storeroom and took out a few pineapple buns. Then, he typed, "Brother, do you want pineapple buns? I'm allergic to pineapple."

Then the World Channel was filled with laughter, as if they had forgotten the hell they had just experienced.

"Haha, you guys are too cute!"

"I have two slices of chocolate bread."

"I have two strawberry flavored bread."

"Why are all of yours so delicious! Mine is Matcha! I don't like Matcha!"

"I like Matcha! I'll exchange chocolate with you!"

The world channel was buzzing with activity.

Zhang Bei got his wish. He exchanged the pineapple buns for red bean bread and put them in the storeroom.

After eating, Zhang Bei strolled around and decided to rest in the tent.

"White light? And yellow? Is there food and tools again?" Zhang Bei was worried that he had nothing to do and quickly sank his consciousness into the detector.

It was still the cold mechanical voice. Zhang Bei couldn't help but complain, "It's the same voice every time. Can you change your voice? I'm tired of hearing it."

"Sure. You can choose your preferred voice setting from the screen." A screen suddenly flew over to Zhang Bei.

Zhang Bei browsed the different options available on the screen..

"Aiyo, Old Master Guo!"

"Jennifer Lawrence???"

"Aiya, Sister Ling!"

In the end, Zhang Bei chose the famous female broadcaster from Earth, Tuantuan2.

Immediately, the detector's voice changed.

"Aiyo, there is a box of chocolates and a box of skittles 300 kilometers to the north. I love sweets. There was also a saw. It will be a good help to you to rob and kill people."

Zhang Bei was happy. After all, in this vast space, hearing human voices would really eliminate some of the loneliness.

He exited the detector and connected to the asteroid.

After about 15 minutes, Zhang Bei arrived at the location indicated by the detector.

With a 'pop', a large paper box fell from the sky.

Zhang Bei opened the box and took out the saw inside.

The saw was the ordinary kind that was used to cut wooden boards. Zhang Bei put it aside and picked up the chocolates and skittles.

Zhang Bei ate one chocolate. He immediately started feeling much better.

Then he ate a few skittles. The helplessness and vulnerability he had felt since entering space seemed to have been swept away, and he was filled with anticipation.

"No wonder people like to eat sweet things when they are in a bad mood. Eating sweet things can really make people happy." Zhang Bei put away the chocolate and skittles and put the saw into the shelf in the greenhouse.

Zhang Bei looked at the thorny brambles and found that a few sprouts had broken out of the ground.

"But this is still too slow. By the time it grows taller, I might have died many times already." Zhang Bei rubbed his chin, thinking.

"Are there fertilizers or something in the Exchange Platform?" Zhang Bei opened the exchange center.

He clicked on the search button and entered fertilizer.

Empty.

He entered Jinkela.

Empty.

Zhang Bei thought for a while and typed a few words. Growth agent.

Got it.

There were some results.

However, there was only a growth agent written on it. There was no mention of its effects.

Zhang Bei found a seller and opened the exchange interface.

"Brother, what's the price?" Zhang Bei asked.

After a few minutes, when Zhang Bei was starting to feel anxious, the other party replied.

"Ten days worth of food or fire source?"

Zhang Bei: "Why don't you go rob? Do you want so much for this lousy thing?"

The other party: "Since you asked, it means that this thing is valuable to you."

Zhang Bei thought for a moment and sent a flint.

The other party confirmed the transaction and a small bottle filled with green liquid appeared before Zhang Bei.

"Just this?" Zhang Bei shook the bottle in his hand. "How do you use this?"

Zhang Bei took the bottle and entered the appraisal center.

The dwarf took the bottle from Zhang Bei's hand and returned it to him after a few minutes.

(Green civilization: Level 1 Growth Potion, can catalyze the growth rate of plants, 1: 100. Use it after mixing with water in a 1:50 ratio.)

Zhang Bei held the small bottle and compared it with the mineral water bottle. The growth agent was only about 50ml.

"Just this much?" Zhang Bei was heartbroken. He took a bottle of water and poured the growth agent inside.
