"I wonder how Xiaoxing is now." Mao Dan lay on the ground in fatigue and asked worriedly.

"I'll go check on him," Gu Bai stood up and planned to look for his drillmaster to see Du Xiaoxing.

Mao Dan and Wen Yan wanted the same, but their legs were too weak to support them.

"I'll go by myself. You should take some rest. Do stretching if you can, or your calves will suffer more tomorrow," Gu Bai told them.

It would be best if they would relax. Otherwise, Gu Bai was afraid he might expose his superfunction if he used it on his roommates frequently.

But if they failed and affected their training the next day, Gu Bai would have to help them out.

"Alright, we got this. You should check on Xiaoxing," said Wen Yan.

"Xiaobai is so strong. I'm afraid he is as strong as those in the Mecha Academy. I can't believe he still has strength after running for so long." Mao Dan watched Gu Bai leave and sighed.

Their classmates were lying on the ground and couldn't get up. Compared to Mao Dan, they felt more complicated.

They despised Gu Bai ever since they came to school. Either those who took the exam to attend the university or those who were recommended by their families believed Gu Bai was a loser because he didn't even pass the One-Star Chef Certificate test.

Of course, some of them thought that way because of Shen Liangqing.

But now, the loser in their eyes surpassed them easily on their way here and even had the strength to check on their classmates when they all were exhausted.

Was his physical strength unlimited?

Probably because the students looked so miserable after running for so long, Wang Jianjun gave them half a day off out of kindness so that they could have some rest. After all, they would start formal training tomorrow.

However, the half-day break didn't make any of them happy.

It was mainly because students in other majors could enjoy the scenery there during the half-day, but they could only lie on the bed as if they were dying.

If they had known the result, they should have kept their mouths shut. In that case, they wouldn't have to run to the training base and lie in beds while other people could enjoy the views outside.

Those who talked before regretted what they had done before. While their classmates who were involved wouldn't spare them if they had strength.

At the same time, Du Xiaoxing and the other classmates who failed to finish running were gathered in a dormitory for treatment.

They only collapsed because they were out of strength before. With the help of the treatment machines, they soon recovered and even looked better than those who finished running.

Gu Bai visited Du Xiaoxing and was relieved to make sure he was in good health.

Since it was rare to have a half-day off before training, Gu Bai decided to roam around the planet, wishing he could find some ingredients he hadn't seen on the Central Star and M95 Planet.

Their training base was far from the urban area but close to the forest. The dense vegetation and the rich species attracted Gu Bai's attention.

There were soldiers and guards around the training base. Since the drillmaster allowed the students to rest for half a day and many of them came near the forest, the soldiers didn't stop them but reminded him, "There are many beasts in the forest. Don't go deep into it."

"Thank you. I won't go deep but walk around the edge." Gu Bai nodded and thanked him.

Although Gu Bai was confident that he could deal with the beasts, he didn't plan to go deep because he didn't have enough time. Therefore, he planned to look for ingredients near the edge.

There was still some distance from the forest to the training base. Gu Bai walked over unhurriedly. He had met many students on his way to the forest. But the closer he got to the forest, the fewer people he met.

After Gu Bai entered the forest, he basically didn't meet anyone again.

However, Gu Bai didn't care. On the contrary, he was glad that he could do this alone. Nobody would find out that he had found any ingredients and the drillmaster wouldn't confiscate them as well.

After getting used to eating natural food, there was no way he could bear the nutrient fluid.

"Mu Mu, will you go around and see if there is anything eatable here?" Gu Bai said to Mu Mu, who looked like a bracelet right now.

The mutant vine, which had obediently hung on Gu Bai's wrist, immediately swung its body and transformed into its original size.

"It has been a long time since we came to the forest last time. I'm so exhausted from being a bracelet for such a long time. Xiaobai, can I stay here for a while? It's so comfortable here."

Gu Bai was also aware that Mu Mu had been restrained since he came to the Central Star.

Mu Mu always liked to run wildly outside, but it was forced to be a bracelet for such a long time. Now that they had the rare chance to come to the forest again, Gu Bai considered maybe he should let Mu Mu stay in the forest during his training.

With few people here, nobody would notice Mu Mu. In that case, Mu Mu could not only live at its will but also help him find useful ingredients.

"Stay here then. Just remember, if you are in danger, don't confront your enemy but keep yourself safe. If anything, get to me as long as you get a chance," said Gu Bai.

Mu Mu moved happily as if it was about to dance.

Gu Bai could sense how Mu Mu felt right now, so he smiled as well.

However, Gu Bai didn't know that someone had been watching him all the time. Right now, he was focused on looking for ingredients.

"Let's see if there's anything eatable nearby." Gu Bai continued to walk forward with Mu Mu as he observed all the plants he saw, trying to distinguish which plants were edible and which were not.

After walking for more than half an hour, Gu Bai was lucky to find something.

It was a kind of fruit that had wide and plump leaves, seeming like lotus leaves. The difference was that its leaves were not round but oval. Its stem was thick, and it looked moist.

If the leaves were not purple but green, Gu Bai could confirm that it was taro.

Nobody sold taros in the interstellar malls for the time being. Gu Bai wasn't sure whether it was because the Plant Research Institute hadn't cultivated such a thing yet or because the institute didn't release it to the public for now.

However, none of his thoughts could stop him from eating the taros.

It was out of Gu Bai's expectation that the leaves were purple, so he wasn't sure whether they were edible or poisonous.

"Mu Mu, get one for me." Gu Bai instructed Mu Mu to dig out the fruit.

The fruit did look similar to the taros on earth, but it was several times bigger. The taro was as big as a person's head.

"Mu Mu, can you tell if it is poisonous?" Gu Bai said to Mu Mu.

Mu Mu was of great use. It not only accompanied him to fight against zombies but also knew how to cultivate crops. Also, it could test whether the food was poisonous.

In the early stages of Gu Bai's previous life after doomsday, it was Mu Mu's ability that helped Gu Bai survive.

Without Mu Mu's companionship, Gu Bai might have lived harder in his previous life and even lost his life before the end.

Mu Mu reached out one branch and made it as sharp as a knife. Then it cut through the taro. The white fruit inside was exposed, along with the white juice. It was just like the taros on earth.

Gu Bai and Mu Mu waited for a long time, yet the white liquid didn't change into a different color. Next, Mu Mu cut a small piece of the fruit and then covered it with its vine. Soon, the fruit disappeared as if Mu Mu had eaten it.

Gu Bai fixed his eyes on Mu Mu, performing his supernatural with wood manipulation on his right hand so that he could cure Mu Mu at any time if anything happened.

Although Mu Mu was able to digest poisons, the process was hard. With the help of Gu Bai's supernatural with wood manipulation, Mu Mu would feel more comfortable.

After more than half an hour, Mu Mu still looked normal, which proved that the taros were safe.

Although the color of the leaves was a bit strange, the fruit inside was the same as Gu Bai had seen on earth. Otherwise, he wouldn't try any of them even if they were edible.

"I'm so lucky to have you, Mu Mu. With the taros we just discovered, I could make various related dishes and desserts, such as..." Gu Bai named a lot of dishes, wishing he could make them right away.

Unfortunately, without any meat or chickens, the taros were not enough for him to make any of them in his mind.

He could only do these things until the training was over.

"Mu Mu, mark the location. Let's take more back once the training is over," Gu Bai said to Mu Mu as he looked around to mark some special spots.

Since the training would last for a month, Gu Bai had nowhere to store the taros even if he dug them out. Therefore, he decided to wait until the training ended so that he could take them back.

"Keep moving. Let's see if we can find other ingredients." Gu Bai held one taro in his hand and led Mu Mu forward.

Not long after Gu Bai walked, he heard a loud sound as if something was running towards him.

"Mu Mu, get on the tree," Gu Bai said immediately. He put the taro under the tree and climbed to the nearest tree smoothly, looking in the direction of the sound.

Not after long, a black After a long time, a black wild boar ran over with sharp fangs in its mouth. If the boar hurt anyone with its fangs, the person would be severely injured even if he survived.

Wasn't Gu Bai at the edge of the forest? It was not far from the training base. How come there was a wild boar here?
