Apocalypse: Resources Consumed by Women Returned Ten Thousandfold

Early in the morning, even before the sunlight fully penetrated the seawater and cast its glow on the glazed tiles of the palace, Lin Lang shouted:

"Little River Otter, get me some fresh sea fruits, I want the sweetest ones!"

The Little River Otter was curled up in the corner, fast asleep, startled awake by the sudden shout. It rubbed its sleepy eyes and mumbled:

"So early, and I’m being ordered around again."

But the moment it thought of Lin Lang’s astonishingly powerful abilities, its admiration instantly outweighed any reluctance!

Quickly shaking its round body, it plunged into the sea and went searching everywhere for delicious sea fruits.

Before long, the Little River Otter returned with a heap of colorful sea fruits, panting heavily, its cheeks puffing.

It placed the sea fruits in front of Lin Lang, saying flatteringly:

"Prince Lin Lang, look, these sea fruits are really sweet, I searched for a long time to find them!"

Lin Lang casually picked one up, took a bite, and nodded with satisfaction:

"Hmm, not bad, keep it up."

Upon receiving the compliment, the Little River Otter’s eyes lit up, and it happily rolled around on the spot a few times.

...

In the afternoon, sunlight filtered through the seawater, casting patches of golden light on the seabed.

Lin Lang lay on the soft coral bed, idly saying:

"Little River Otter, tell me some juicy gossip about the Merfolk Race, the more scandalous, the better!"

The Little River Otter perked up immediately, cleared its throat, and began to vividly recount those ancient legends, telling one story after another, spittle flying everywhere.

Lin Lang listened intently, occasionally interjecting with a few comments, which amused the Little River Otter no end.

...

By nightfall, the moonlight shimmered on the surface of the sea.

Lin Lang commanded the Little River Otter once more:

"Go, find me some beautiful seashells, I want to decorate my room."

Though the Little River Otter was already so sleepy that its eyelids were drooping, it forced itself to stay awake, carefully searching the seabed and placing the shells it found in front of Lin Lang.

Looking at the variously shaped and brightly colored shells, Lin Lang’s lips curled up slightly:

"Well done, go rest now."

Only then did the Little River Otter feel a sense of relief, dragging its exhausted body to a corner and falling asleep immediately.

This was how it went, for two days, the Little River Otter was run ragged by Lin Lang!

Yet it had no complaints; instead, its admiration for Lin Lang grew stronger by the day.

To its eyes, Lin Lang was an invincible superhero. Having the chance to follow someone like him was worth any amount of hard work!

However!

Happy times are always short-lived.

Two days passed quickly, and Lin Lang remembered that he had many important matters to attend to, so he had to bid farewell to everything here.

When he informed everyone of his impending departure, tears immediately welled up in the Little River Otter’s eyes. It clung tightly to Lin Lang’s leg, crying out:

"Prince Lin Lang, please don’t go, I can’t bear to be without you! I can still find sea fruits for you, tell stories, find seashells..."

Looking at the pitiful expression on the Little River Otter’s face, Lin Lang flicked its forehead:

"Stop being so mushy! I’m not leaving for good!"

As the Little River Otter nodded amidst sobs, its eyes were filled with reluctance.

Zhi Xi also had tears in her eyes as she held Lin Lang’s hand tightly, her voice choked as she said:

"Lin Lang, make sure you return soon, I’ll be waiting here for you, however long it takes."

Lin Lang gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, saying firmly:

"Don’t worry, I will definitely come back. Take good care of yourself, I’ll be back."

Bidding farewell to everyone, Lin Lang set off on his journey back.

His figure gradually receded into the sea, while the Little River Otter and Zhi Xi stood rooted to the spot, gazing in the direction he departed, their eyes full of longing and anticipation.

...

Lin Lang bid farewell to that mysterious and enchanting underwater world.

He thought to himself, since he had come to Black Lake City, he naturally had to visit the person he missed here—

Jin Xiaoyu!

With this thought in mind, he quickened his steps towards the Small Fishing Village.

Along the way, sunlight filtered through the mottled leaves, creating patches of broken light and shadow.

Lin Lang walked forward leisurely.

He hadn’t gone far before he encountered group after group of people, hurrying along with faces showing signs of fatigue and expectation.

One person spotted Lin Lang and took the initiative to ask:

"Hey, brother, are you here to trade for fish too?"

Lin Lang was slightly taken aback but then quickly understood, smiling and nodding in response:

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, the person immediately opened up, speaking incessantly:

"The situation in this apocalypse is getting worse and worse, the Water Beasts are becoming more numerous and fierce, us ordinary folks have no way to fish anymore. Get a little too close to the lake, and you might get snatched by those Water Beasts, it’s really too dangerous!"

As he spoke, he shook his head with lingering fear.

Another person beside him added:

"That’s right, that’s right, now only Jin Xiaoyu has a way. She has the Water Control superpower, those Water Beasts can’t even get near her, her fishing skills are more amazing than before! Now everyone can only come here eagerly, to trade their own materials for fish with her, otherwise, we don’t even know how to fill our stomachs."

The crowd echoed in agreement, each recounting the hardships of the apocalypse and their reliance on Jin Xiaoyu.

Lin Lang listened quietly, gaining a clearer understanding of Jin Xiaoyu’s situation and feeling proud of her ability.

In the midst of the crowd’s conversation, the Small Fishing Village unknowingly appeared before them.

The ancient tree at the village entrance still stood there, as if silently witnessing the changes of time.

Lin Lang quickened his pace, stepping into the village, greeted by a familiar atmosphere.

The village was bustling with people coming and going, holding various materials like food, clothing, tools, and so on—

Obviously, they were all here to exchange for fish with Jin Xiaoyu!

Lin Lang glanced around, trying to find Jin Xiaoyu.

His gaze swept over the simple houses, finally landing on an open space in the center of the village.

There, a crowd had gathered, bustling and lively.

Lin Lang’s heart stirred, his intuition told him that Jin Xiaoyu must be there.

So, he made his way through the crowd, heading towards the open space.

Lin Lang pushed through layers of people and finally caught sight of Jin Xiaoyu he had been longing to see.

She stood gracefully in the center of the crowd, her healthy beauty unmistakable even in the midst of this chaotic dispute.

Sunlight fell on her, outlining her shapely figure, her long, black hair fluttering gently in the wind.

However!

At this moment, her face was full of anger and grievance, her brows furrowed tightly together.

A stout man with a fierce face stood in front of Jin Xiaoyu, hands on his hips, confidently accusing in a loud voice:

"Jin Xiaoyu, don’t go too far! In these end times, everyone’s living so hard, only you have the Water Control superpower, can easily catch fish."

"The greater your ability, the greater your responsibility, you should catch more fish and distribute them to everyone for free!"

"But you’re using this ability to profit, constantly demanding all sorts of materials to trade, aren’t you exploiting this disaster?"

...

The crowd, which initially just watched from the sidelines, began to chime in after hearing these words.

"That’s right, Jin Xiaoyu, you can’t be so selfish!"

"We’re about to starve, can’t you be kind and give us some fish for free?"

"We’re all compatriots, how can you be so heartless!"

Various voices rose one after another, like sharp knives stabbing at Jin Xiaoyu.

Jin Xiaoyu’s eyes instantly reddened, her whole body trembling with anger, she clenched her fists tightly and retorted loudly:

"You’re going too far! Every day I risk my life to go to the lake to fish, isn’t every moment filled with anxiety, fearing being attacked by those fierce Water Beasts? I’m making a living through my own labor, why should I give it to you for free? I don’t owe you anything!"

However!

Her words did not stop the accusations from the people.

The leading man snorted coldly, disdaining to say:

"Hmph, stop pretending to be pitiful here!"

"You have superpowers, those Water Beasts can’t hurt you, fishing is just a piece of cake for you, isn’t it?"

"If you don’t distribute it for free, you have no conscience!"

There was another burst of noisy voices from the crowd, and Jin Xiaoyu stood there, isolated and helpless, tears welling up in her eyes.
