Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi-Chapter 269 - : Leaving the Purple Capital for Daijing
Chapter 269 -269: Leaving the Purple Capital for Daijing
Five injured men were transported away in a troop carrier, with seats in the cabin that could be flattened for them to lie down. The terrain in the desert was flat, making the road relatively easy to travel, and not overly bumpy to worsen their injuries.
Ye Nai didn’t show off how quickly she could store items in her Space. Methodically, she used trash bags to collect the used waste before placing items of various sizes into her Space one by one. Ultimately, she released her off-road vehicle and helped the Patrol Team stow away their chopped-up vehicle.
The large pit was carelessly covered up with sand directly from the local area. Ye Nai had a “look”, the light was gone; evidently, it had been taken by a team member who had Space.
This made Ye Nai, without hesitation, take away the altar she had left behind.
From her experience with East Ridge and Five Bridges Secret Realms, she would need to take all the altars within a Secret Realm and have sufficient energy, to completely transform the Secret Realm into her own Pocket World. Missing even one altar was not an option.

Now, with the exception of the Five Bridges Secret Realm, this Purple Capital Secret Realm was also completely safe.
Ye Nai also took away the huge rock that was used to smash the enemy. She explained that the rock was a weathered stone picked up from the Five Bridges Secret Realm, which was quite effective for hunting, as the prey would knock themselves out upon impact.
Having now been tested in real combat, it proved even more effective against opponents with thick, resistant hides, requiring a large blunt weapon.
The group set off, with Ye Nai driving in the middle of the convoy, tuning into a shared channel on the radio. The journey was lively and filled with laughter and chatter.
Several hours later, they finally reached a frontline camp.
The camp was large and housed many people, but conditions were harsh with no water source. Life’s water depended on team members driving to a nearby town to fetch water. During sandstorms, when they couldn’t leave for days, they faced the dire situation of water shortage.
The Patrol Team and this support squad were both deployed from this frontline camp. If people were sent from the back towns, it would take a day’s drive to reach the incident site.
That night, Ye Nai made a tidy sum from her small business, selling hundreds of pounds of fresh vegetables and several tons of water, filling the camp’s water storage tanks.
The tap water she had bought from the plant and stored in her Space for so many days still passed water quality tests, showing no signs of spoilage when randomly filling a bucket.
The vegetables were loved by everyone. Lacking vegetables was harder to endure than the water scarcity. The Secret Realm’s environment could not even sprout water-soaked bean sprouts, making vitamin supplements a necessity.
In this trading process, everyone steered clear of the sensitive issues regarding the capacity and preservation capabilities of Ye Nai’s Space. One side bought, the other sold, the transaction completed with money and goods exchanged—why complicate matters.
Due to water scarcity, bathing became a luxury. Only when water was brought back could the entire camp use a little extra water for cleaning themselves. When Ye Nai’s bathroom and laundry services were offered, business boomed.
At night, Ye Nai slept in her two-story building, sneaking out to plant vegetables in the East Ridge Secret Realm in the middle of the night. She still had a little left to last a few meals on the road, and urgently grew another batch to ensure a continuous supply of vegetables.
The next morning, the departing team was joined by several more vehicles, including signal corps who went outside to deliver messages and personnel on regular rotation. Ye Nai followed along, settling in the next rear town before setting off the next day.
At each stopover, Ye Nai set up her bathroom and laundry services to do business. She calculated the costs and found that such a lucrative business could continue until she left the Secret Realm, not only recovering the money spent on her mobile cabins but also beginning to profit from the equipment.
After nearly half a month, they finally arrived at Town 2. The injuries of the wounded men had healed, but it was standard protocol to check into a military hospital for an exam.
After leaving the Secret Realm, Ye Nai continued with the convoy to a military base in the suburbs. She needed to settle her medical bills there.
Given that the military base had internet access, they could finally verify Ye Nai’s identity. Her extensive record led the logistics personnel who received her to blurt out their standard question.
“Your capabilities are so high. Why not enlist?”
“No thanks. I don’t take well to being disciplined.”
“It’s such a shame, if you enlisted and trained hard, you would definitely become the King of Soldiers in the future.”
“That doesn’t matter, I’m going to be a Gold-level Hunter anyway.”
“You’re that confident?”
“Of course, I’m already at Iron-level, with over ten thousand points. Once I submit this hunting task, I’ll surely rise to thirty thousand points.”
“If you rack up points fast enough, reaching fifty thousand points, you’ll get new tasks at the mission center, then it’s up to you whether you dare to take them.”
“What new tasks?” Ye Nai immediately handed over a pack of cigarettes.
The other person took the cigarettes with a smile, “Killing missions.”
“What kind of killing? How many points per kill?”
“Go to the border, exchange enemy heads for points, ten points per head.”
“Really?!” Ye Nai instantly perked up, energized.
“Of course it’s true. This is the task prepared for hunters and teams aiming for Copper Level, but, you know, the usual rules, you’re responsible for your own life or death.”
“That’s no problem, being used to life and death comes with being a hunter.”
In Ye Nai’s mind, she was already imagining herself rampaging through the border, harvesting enemy heads like slicing through grass with a scythe.
Moreover, she remembered the enemy bodies from the Sky Smoke Secret Realm stored in her Space, five hundred and one bodies, ten points each, that’s over five thousand points.
A trip to the border, and becoming a Copper-level Hunter was just around the corner!
After a little while, she settled her medicinal expenses smoothly and received some useful information. Ye Nai left cheerfully, not taking her off-road vehicle but driving a motorhome instead, heading towards Daijing three hundred kilometers away on the highway.
The highway was just an ordinary one, with a small green belt in the middle separating the traffic directions, no barriers on either side, allowing for a swerve of the steering wheel off into the wilds below at any time.
After driving for a while, Ye Nai pulled off into the wilds to check her phone for any unread messages.
Her mother, Yu Qing, left a message asking for Mutant Beast Meat, telling her to message back after coming out of the Secret Realm.
The twin siblings in the family chat had finally managed to keep their father at home after several tries, spending five thousand on alcohol for him a month, and the remaining five thousand for food for three people and the twin’s educational expenses.
Ye Nai left a message in the chat encouraging the twins for doing well and to keep it up, telling them they’d be free once they graduated.
Then she replied to her mom, saying she had just left the Secret Realm and was on her way to Daijing, asking her to make a list of the meat needed and that she would send it once she arrived in Daijing the next day.
After sending the message, Ye Nai got back on the highway and continued towards Daijing.
After driving for over three hours, she finally saw the “Welcome to Daijing” sign. Just a bit further was the entrance toll gate to the city, pay and pass.
Entering the city highway, she could feel the cityscape was entirely different from that in Purple Capital City, the sky appeared much cleaner and brighter, and there were very many surveillance cameras.
