Su Jiyai didn’t waste any time and asked her to meet in the greenhouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Ning walked towards a part of the base that was off-limits to most—a restricted area known as the Forbidden Zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they approached the entrance, Huo Ning hesitated for a moment, hearing a faint, unsettling buzzing sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if there were bees nearby, but she remembered Su Jiyai’s instruction, “Don’t go anywhere else than the greenhouse.” So Huo Ning suppressed her curiosity and walked toward the greenhouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She passed through the heavy steel doors into a large greenhouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight before them was unexpected—it was barren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No signs of life, no green, just dry, cracked soil that looked as if it hadn’t seen water or sunlight in years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reality was the system had watered the area just 2 hours ago but for some reason the soil remained cracked and dry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Ning frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sense of yearning swelled up inside her, something she couldn’t quite explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her power pulsed inside her, eager to be used.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn’t dare start without Su Jiyai’s instruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minutes passed, and instead of Su Jiyai, a blue cat padded into the greenhouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Ning blinked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cat looked almost regal, with soft, silky fur and bright, intelligent eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t sure whether to shoo it away or just wait, but before she could act, a mechanical voice filled the greenhouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The blue cat is your assistant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You may begin now, Huo Ning.” Huo Ning tilted her head in confusion, staring at the cat, and then at the speaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My assistant…?” she muttered under her breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cat looked up at her with what seemed like an amused glint in its eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Ning hesitated, then nodded at the cat as if it were a real assistant, accepting its strange presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knelt down, placing her hands on the soil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiya smiled inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her system had at least managed to translate her meows without her moving her mouth, into commands—one thing it was decent at.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Ning didn’t know what she was doing exactly, but she felt a pull deep within her, a primal energy calling out to the earth beneath her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a deep breath, feeling the warmth spread through her body, and she surrendered to the power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, her body began to glow with a soft, radiant green light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light pulsed and spread, reaching the soil, and within seconds, the earth beneath her hands began to glow as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unbeknownst to Huo Ning, the seeds buried within the soil had begun to respond to her power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, almost imperceptibly at first, small sprouts began to push their way up through the dry soil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai’s cat eyes widened in excitement as she watched the transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plants were growing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minutes passed, and the once-barren greenhouse was now beginning to show signs of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Small green shoots had started to cover the soil, inching upwards, gaining strength with every passing second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai’s heart raced with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t felt this giddy in a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tail twitched with joy, and she almost felt like jumping around—or even kissing Huo Ning for making this miracle happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, something went wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the eleventh minute, just as the plants were starting to reach the first stage of sprouting, Huo Ning’s body suddenly slumped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed into the dirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai’s joy was immediately replaced by alarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rushed forward, still in her cat form, and pushed Huo Ning’s hand away from the soil with surprising strength for her small frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Huo Ning’s hand left the soil, she gasped, taking in great gulps of air as if she had been suffocating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body trembled as she lay on the ground, her face pale and drenched in sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai watched over her, her mind racing with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system chimed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Host, her energy was completely drained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you hadn’t intervened, she might not have survived.] Su Jiyai’s heart pounded in her chest, but she remained calm outwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced down at the plants, which had now paused in their growth, but the sprouts remained vibrant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had expected Huo Ning’s power to be incredible, but this… this was far more dangerous than she had anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Ning slowly sat up, her entire body trembling from the ordeal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t believe how drained she felt—like all the life had been sucked out of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at the blue cat, still sitting calmly beside her, and felt a strange connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something about the cat seemed almost… protective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could speak again, the mechanical voice from the speaker filled the greenhouse once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s enough for today, Huo Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t overexert yourself,” came Su Jiyai’s calm but firm instruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Ning’s eyes were wide with awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite her exhaustion, the sight of those sprouting plants filled her with a strange sense of accomplishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had made life appear in this desolate place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her body felt the cost of such power—she hadn’t anticipated it would take so much from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t know it would be so…” Huo Ning started to apologize, her voice weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ve done well,” Su Jiyai reassured her through the speaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But this is only the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ll need to pace yourself if you want to develop your abilities without hurting yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starting tomorrow, you’ll visit the greenhouse every day to continue working on the soil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there are conditions.” Huo Ning nodded, still too dazed to argue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cat’s calm gaze seemed to soothe her nerves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You need to double your food intake,” Su Jiyai’s voice continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What you just experienced was your energy being drained too quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ll need the proper nutrition to recover and handle this power safely.” Huo Ning nodded again, absorbing the advice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand, Boss Su,” she said, her voice barely a whisper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her heart was filled with warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>",1021,"2026-06-06T06:36:35.983Z",1,"novelbin.me","08ea19e7e775cad06f13cf64957c8eb6a6d75cc0cad02d972ee1a7c741dd3980","apocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-chapter-249","apocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-chapter-247",661,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-cover.jpg"]
