Universe Infinite Canteen

"Okay." Boggy almost didn't hesitate and immediately agreed, then asked, "How do I use the Secret Treasure?"

"You can grasp it tightly and feel the energy contained within with your heart, imagining the ability you want to possess."

Upon hearing this, Boggy closed her eyes and, following Ma Lu's instructions, seriously held the small stone in her hand.

About half a minute later, she opened her eyes again. "I don't feel anything at all."

"No matter, just continue doing as I've said. The Secret Treasure is already establishing a connection with you; it's just a bit shy…"

"Okay." Boggy, who still had a lot of trust in Ma Lu, closed her eyes again.

She clutched the small stone and placed both hands in front of her chest.

Then she felt another pair of hands holding hers.

Ma Lu had pulled Boggy into the team, using the newly acquired marvel, the Wish-Fulfilling Tree, and then released his hands and asked.

"How is it, do you feel any changes?"

Boggy opened her eyes and did not immediately answer.

She suddenly opened her mouth and spat out a string of incantations; at the same time, she threw a punch.

This punch was significantly faster than her punches before she was blessed with firmness. Standing to one side, Ma Lu felt a gust of wind brush past his ear.

The hair in front of his forehead was blown up as well, but perhaps because he was used to seeing the exaggerated numbers under Meat Pigeon mode, this punch, though stylish, seemed to lack power in Ma Lu's eyes.

Damn, could it be that Boggy had acquired another useless ability?

The description of the Wish-Fulfilling Tree's effect was rather vague, only mentioning it could fulfill a teammate's most intense inner wish.

Boggy's most intense wish was definitely to have another Psychic Power, but it was difficult to say exactly what that Psychic Power might be.

It could turn out to be like opening a blind box—bad luck could mean drawing consolation prizes two times in a row.

Ma Lu was thinking about how to console Boggy when he saw the young girl, still maintaining her punching posture, had already started crying.

A thought struck Ma Lu, "What Psychic Power did you get?"

"Wind Fist," Boggy said.

"Wind Fist?"

"Yes, Wind Fist. With the wind guiding the fist, the user's punching speed can be enhanced by the force of the wind."

"So…is this ability strong or weak?"

"Wind Fist is quite special. It is one of the few Psychic Powers that starts out ordinary but, through persistent and hard training, can achieve an extremely high potential."

Boggy said, "The strongest Hunter who practiced Wind Fist in the last two hundred years was the former leader of the Harpist, Li."

"So this was your father's ability?" Ma Lu was somewhat surprised but also felt it somehow made sense.

"Yep." Boggy had already wiped the tears off her face.

"Oh, well congratulations then."

"Thank you," Boggy once again expressed her sincere thanks.

The Secret Treasure capable of unlocking a Second Psychic Ability had a fatal attraction for all Hunters.

Besides Ma Lu, Boggy didn't know if there was anyone else who would give away a Secret Treasure that they had already obtained.

Ma Lu, however, didn't feel much regret. Although the selling price of the Wish-Fulfilling Tree was exorbitant, the curiosities he already possessed were sufficient for battle, and once he reached other planes, those remaining credits would be useless.

It was better to use them on Boggy to strengthen her abilities. After all, they had already established a contract, and the more prey Boggy could hunt in the future, the more Ma Lu would receive.

Before they knew it, the two had arrived at the place Boggy had mentioned.

It was the one and only botanical garden in the Giant Curtain, but it had been destroyed in the beast tide and had turned into ruins, with traces of battle everywhere.

The botanical garden wasn't large, but its design was quite interesting.

Instead of solar panels, there was a square piece of glass on the roof right at the center.

Sunlight streamed through the glass pane and shone upon the ruins, casting an inexplicably sacred aura.

Boggy casually dealt with two Angular Belly Black Swift Snakes hiding in the ruins, then started rummaging through the rubble.

It wasn't long before she made a discovery.

Ma Lu leaned in and saw a small yellow flower in the gap between two cement boards, and it was a twin bloom.

The small flower looked somehow familiar as if he had seen it somewhere before. Ma Lu thought about it and finally remembered, exclaiming in surprise, "Is this a Twin Sunflower?"

"Yes," said Boggy. "Long, long ago, our world was also teeming with life, covered in greenery, but since an extra sun appeared in the sky, most plants have perished.

"The beasts burrowed into the sand for refuge, while the humans built strongholds like the Giant Curtain in this desert to eke out a difficult existence. The Twin Sunflower is one of the few plants that survived the catastrophe with our ancestors and has even adapted to the harsh sunlight. It's truly a miracle.

Boggy paused, gazing into Ma Lu's eyes, "Just like how I met you in the vast desert."

...

When Ma Lu returned to the couch, he was still savoring the last performance that had been uniquely eye-opening and exciting.

With two hours left on the countdown, he had arrived at the nightclub known as the Desert Bandits Night Club.

This nightclub was said to have been in business for over 40 years and had an excellent reputation among its patrons.

However, due to the current power shortage in the Giant Curtain, entertainment venues like this were generally closed in response to government calls.

Just when Ma Lu thought his visit would be in vain, someone recognized him.

After learning that he was the deputy leader of the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group and a hero who had saved the city, the Desert Bandits Night Club decided to arrange a special golden VIP performance for him.

The specific details of the performance could not be elaborated due to regulatory restrictions, but suffice to say, Ma Lu was very satisfied.

Of course, he did not forget his main task. He and the other four members of the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group set out on another hunt, taking down a Flat Skull Giant Bat that had settled in the east of the city and using a Healing Blessing to cure Seta's injuries.

This time, Ma Lu also brought back 300 kilograms of fresh ingredients, some of which he caught himself, and the rest he bought directly from the market, all handpicked for their health and liveliness, still in their juvenile phase.

These included commonly seen species such as the Black-Breasted Chicken, Gray Elephant Shrew, Sand-Spray Qiang, and Grey-Spotted Cheetah, as well as 3-star and above ingredients like the Snake-tailed Giant Eagle, Redback Scorpion, and Crocodile Bullet Ant.

Ma Lu also added a female Self-Destructing Jumping Mouse to the breeding farm.

With this, the total weight of the ingredients in the farm had reached 642 kilograms. At this rate, Ma Lu estimated that in 5 days, it would surpass 1000 kilograms, and as time went on, with the breeding within the farm, the rate of increase would only become faster.

However, to solely rely on the desktop breeding farm to supply the restaurant's consumption, there should be a total weight of at least 2000 kilograms. Considering the need for breeding stock, a range of 3000 to 4000 kilograms, or even higher, would be ideal to ensure an ample supply of each ingredient.

In addition to the ingredients in the Collection Bag, Ma Lu also had a new harvest this time.
