Chapter 136 Let's Get Moldy Together 4 (The End)
Of course, Hao Pingyan didn't just stay in the suburbs all the time.
When the weather is nice, she will take Ms. Hao Li out on her tricycle.
Sometimes Old Man Zhu would go too.
Besides the exchange center near the military base, they also frequent officially organized trading markets.
There are patrols along the way, so as long as you don't deliberately choose side paths, there's no danger.
It must be said that Hao Pingyan's special training has yielded quite pleasing results.
Outsiders would think she had been practicing extra at home.
In fact, Comrade Xiao Hao has to pretend that he can't take it anymore every day.
Putting everything else aside, his acting skills are much better than before.
Tongzi didn't want to get mold on her body, so she had no intention of coming out this time.
Otherwise, you'll have to constantly remove mold, which is quite tiring.
If we don't remove it, it'll look ugly.
If it can survive healthily without being moldy, it'll probably end up in a research institute...
Never mind, it's just that the humans of this small world and she are not meant to be.
Hao Pingyan rode his tricycle, and his mood suddenly brightened.
He couldn't help but start singing.
Whenever I can't find meaning in my existence, whenever I'm lost...
The brightest star in the night sky, please guide me...
With mental protection, there's no need to worry about ingesting various spores floating in the air.
"Hey Hao! Can you change the song? You've repeated it ten times already, it's so sick of hearing it!"
Old Zhu loudly interrupted Hao Pingyan's self-amusement.
Ms. Hao Li, who was standing to the side, did not speak, but nodded almost imperceptibly.
Pingyan is great in every way, except that his singing sounds like a broken record.
Oh dear, she's heard it so many times she's tired of it.
"Okay~"
Comrade Xiao Hao raised his head and readily agreed.
She happened to be a little thirsty, so she secretly smuggled some water in for a drink.
...
Once they reached a section of the road where there were people, they stopped making a sound.
The thick layer of mutated mold on the road was shoveled up and piled up to one side.
Someone will come to collect it later.
This feels even more tiring than shoveling ice in winter; no wonder the pay for removing mold from outdoor roads is pretty good...
I don't know what the underlying principle is.
After the mutant mold accumulates and hardens on the ground, even cars cannot damage it.
What's attached to houses, furniture, machines, and even the body can be easily cleaned off manually.
However, what's inside the water pipes is a different story.
If this stuff weren't so bad for the human body, humans would probably use it to build roads.
This is also one of the new research directions for mutant molds.
After all, mutated mold can now be considered a renewable resource on the Blue Star.
...
Yicheng's research on the human-faced mushroom has been ongoing.
The appearance of the human-faced mushroom requires a specific opportunity.
When an ordinary person dies from infection with a mutant mold, their entire body turns green, making them look unlike a human from a distance.
However, it is parasitized by the human-faced mushroom before it dies.
Then congratulations, you might be eaten alive by other people or animals.
Because this thing absorbs human flesh and blood, the spores it releases can cause hallucinations...
Those who eat the human-faced mushroom will become parasites, attracting the next person to eat it.
The human-faced mushrooms have already become rampant in the neighboring Red Circle Country.
With so many cannibals on the island, a new virus that can be transmitted from person to person has appeared.
It has become yet another forbidden zone for life on the Blue Star.
We can only wait for the progress of researchers from various countries to see how this matter can be resolved.
...
A few years later, the "era of mushroom cultivation for all" has officially begun.
With the advent of a new antifungal drug, everyone needs to collect it on time and take it immediately.
If you have the means, you can buy more to eat as supplements or candy.
Everyone was busy growing mushrooms at home, and when they met, the first thing they asked each other wasn't whether they had eaten, whether they were married, or whether they had children.
Instead, they learn from each other:
Which types of mushrooms should be planted together to reduce disease?
What temperature is best for which type of mushroom to grow?
Which mushroom purchasing company is the most ethical?
Have the chickens and ducks at home lost their appetite recently?
They even hoped that they could grow undiscovered mutated mushrooms so that they could get their children a stable job.
At first glance, society appears to be in harmony.
Those disharmonious elements were severely punished by the authorities, and those who had been silenced became honest and law-abiding citizens.
A group of ambitious individuals chose to cross the border on foot...
I bet they're crying and wanting to come back now.
It's all because communities in various cities across China have recently been seeing gray mushrooms with air-purifying properties!
Each person is limited to taking one back to plant.
There's nowhere to buy it right now.
The gray mushrooms distributed to ordinary people have been further improved by researchers.
To ensure that everyone can access mushroom cultivation materials.
This batch is a specially modified, fast-growing type.
The original species of gray mushroom has had its other benefits removed, leaving only air purification and filtration, and slowing down food spoilage.
This is the benefit that Ms. Hao Li initially discovered.
*
Other countries also want to find similar mutated original species with similar effects to the gray mushroom on their own territories.
That way, you don't have to beg the other party to exchange your best items.
It's not even certain that you'll get a fixed amount.
After all, there are too many countries on the entire Blue Star that have exchange needs.
The moment you start thinking about it, someone else will beat you to it.
Unfortunately, after searching high and low, all I could find were white mushrooms that inhibit lung fungus.
When Hao Pingyan found out, he hid under the covers and chuckled to himself.
The gray mushrooms were made from the eagles she trained.
How could it possibly appear elsewhere?
Although she accidentally added a plant-based tonic soup during cultivation...
However, the system has already checked it for her, so there shouldn't be any major bugs.
In her space, on the black soil, that tall, gray mushroom is the original species!
hehehe~
Ms. Hao Li got up in the middle of the night and was so startled awake by Comrade Xiao Hao's strange laughter that she woke up completely.
"Hao! Ping! Yan! Can't you sleep without special training?!"
The roar was like a thunderclap.
This caused Hao Pingyan, who got up to open the door, to burp.
Now it was Ms. Hao Li's turn to feel embarrassed.
All I could do was tell my granddaughter not to make any strange noises at night.
Tongzi laughed so hard he fell flat on his back, but he didn't forget to record a video.
So her turtle shell skin was pressed down by the host, preventing her from getting up.
...
No one was surprised that only Yicheng had grown gray mushrooms.
In the Green Sea Wildlife Park, tiny mushrooms that only animals can eat have also grown.
Some people, not believing in superstition, secretly took it home to try.
As a result, he suffered food poisoning, foaming at the mouth and convulsing all over his body. He only recovered after his stomach was pumped.
There might be some places abroad that have this problem, but it hasn't been discovered yet, has it?
The gray mushroom may also be in this situation.
In short, this is the way out for all of humanity.
Mushrooms have become a staple food for humans.
The grains grown under the influence of gray mushrooms became a rare and precious meal.
As for pretty little junk items like glow-in-the-dark mushrooms, they're quite popular too.
...
Some research institutes use their brains.
They cultivated a batch of castrated, iridescent miniature gray mushrooms, which were then made into pendants and sold at high prices.
There are always wealthy people willing to pay this money, and they even complain that the research is not aesthetically pleasing.
After buying it home, I asked someone to remake it into other ornaments.
Hairpins, earrings, shirt buttons, brooches, phone cases, longevity locks, thumb rings, rings...
In any case, the research institute made a fortune in research funding through this.
...
When Hao Pingyan's hair turned white, he still hadn't spent all the points in his card.
Humans continue their research on mutant molds.
The most prominent shops on the street with good business are skin bleaching and dyeing centers.
Used to change the color of stubborn green mold that won't come off...
Hao Pingyan's thoughts drifted off to who knows where.
However, she suspected that this blue planet might be a nest set up for her by some mushroom spirit.
Hmm, I don't want to think about it anymore.
She is going to die.
As for what happens after her death, she had already paid the points in advance.
