16: Can moonlight be absorbed?

“Why does Old Liu’s granddaughter not have a single photo on her social media?”

“Is she ugly?”

After Su Can and Liu Qianqian added each other on WeChat, he casually scrolled through her social media.

Finding nothing, he couldn't help but mumble to himself.

But the next second, he realized and scoffed, “Why do I care what she looks like? Women only slow down my money-making!”

Reborn into this life, Su Can swore he would never stumble over a woman again.

As the saying goes, a wise man doesn't fall in love; adults get foot massages!

“One word: make money!”

With that, Su Can let out a strange cry and slapped Big Yellow on the head.

Big Yellow was instantly bewildered, staring blankly at Su Can as if to say, 'Am I the dog or are you? Why hit me when you're making money?'

“Hahaha…”

Su Can couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter as he looked at Big Yellow’s resentful little eyes.

“Let’s go, time is tight, the task is heavy, the mission to find white onion mushrooms is all up to you!”

Su Can picked the last white onion mushroom, then dangled it in front of Big Yellow and said.

Big Yellow immediately understood, sat up with a bark, and once again used his super-sensitive nose, burrowing all over the mountain.

Su Can, meanwhile, carried two urea bags, following behind Big Yellow.

The physical fitness of this man and dog was incredibly strong.

The rugged mountain paths and sheer cliffs that ordinary people couldn't traverse were like walking up regular stairs for them.

In less than half an hour, they had covered an unknown amount of ground.

The two urea bags in his hands were almost full.

One bag was bulging, with obvious live movement inside, clearly full of wild game.

The other bag was entirely filled with various fresh mushrooms, quite heavy.

The combined weight of these two bags would be difficult for an ordinary person to even lift.

Let alone traverse such steep and difficult mountain paths.

Su Can himself clearly noticed that after the cleansing of his marrow and bones, his body seemed to be getting stronger every moment.

Especially under the sunlight, as long as he had a slight thought, he could draw energy from the sun's rays, and his body would instantly recover to full health.

“Now, I probably could calmly face a pack of tigers, leopards, or wolves alone.”

Su Can felt the changes in his body, secretly delighted.

Because if this trend continued, he would sooner or later be able to move like Spider-Man in movies, able to scale walls and do anything!

Snap!

While he was secretly fantasizing, there was a sudden crisp sound under his foot, as if he had crushed an egg.

“What’s going on?”

Su Can looked down and saw that he had broken off a small piece of a rotten tree branch.

But when his gaze followed the rotten wood, his face suddenly lit up with surprise.

“This is… houtou mushroom?! Hahaha…”

Su Can took two more steps closer and suddenly couldn't help but laugh happily.

He saw several fuzzy, yellowish clumps of flesh clinging to the other end of the broken, rotten tree stump.

Upon closer sniff, there was also a special fragrant scent, which was the famous mountain houtou mushroom, also known as monkey head mushroom.

The houtou mushroom is most famous for nourishing the stomach.

Anyone with a bit of common sense knows about the stomach-nourishing effects of houtou mushroom.

However, what very few people know is that ninety-nine percent of the houtou mushrooms on the market are merely artificially cultivated.

Their value is generally between 30 and 50 yuan per jin.

The true wild houtou mushrooms have long been monopolized and acquired by big players like pharmaceutical companies and health product manufacturers.

Even if they occasionally make it to the market, their value is astonishingly high, usually between 300 and 500 yuan per jin.

Although there weren't many houtou mushrooms here, there was still over a jin.

Moreover, their appearance and size were top-notch, easily worth over four hundred.

Besides, with Big Yellow, as long as he smelled it and remembered the scent, there would be no worry about not finding more later.

Su Can said, then deftly stepped forward and pulled all the houtou mushrooms off.

He even made Big Yellow sniff them, and earnestly said:

“Big Yellow, remember this scent. It’s called houtou mushroom, and it’s very expensive. If you find it later, you must not overlook it!”

“Woof woof!”

Big Yellow sniffed and barked twice in response to Su Can.

“Alright, as long as you remember!”

Su Can didn't care if that's what he meant, nodding seriously.

The man and the dog looked both harmonious and comical, yet so natural.

Fifteen minutes later, Su Can and Big Yellow arrived at a stream, where they harvested two more wild rabbits.

Seeing that the bag for wild game was almost full.

Su Can stopped by the stream, found a large tree, leaned the other bag against it, and first opened the bag containing the wild game.

“Big Yellow, you can roam freely for a bit. I’m going to count the harvest.”

After Su Can finished speaking, he began to count his harvest since entering the mountain.

Big Yellow looked left and right, then barked, jumped over the stream, and ran towards the opposite hillside.

Su Can, meanwhile, looked at the lively wild game in the bag, his face unable to hide his smile.

He carefully sorted and counted them, finding no less than seven wild pheasants of various sizes.

The smallest one was around five or six jin.

There were even more mountain rabbits, nine of them, and except for two small wild rabbits weighing around three or four jin, each of the others was over ten jin.

“Not bad, the value of these wild game alone makes this trip worthwhile.”

He then tied up the bag and opened the other one.

Immediately, a rich, fresh aroma wafted out.

Inside the bag were white onion mushrooms, wild wood ear mushrooms, houtou mushrooms, bamboo pith, 'see-hand-green' mushrooms, wild mushrooms, earth rings, and other unique mountain ingredients, all packed full.

There were even two very long, arm-thick wild wild yams.

“These two wild yams are also excellent, very nourishing. I’ll save them for Mom to make soup with later!”

Su Can picked up the two wild yams, examined them repeatedly, and nodded frequently.

These wild mountain wild yams were covered in roots, grew very deep, and their nutritional and medicinal value were absolutely top-tier.

Su Can had no intention of selling such good things; he planned to save them for his mother.

“Alright, these things are enough for tomorrow.”

“That’s it for today. I’ll go down the mountain when it gets dark later, to avoid running into villagers and having to explain things.”

Su Can tidied up his things and went to the small stream to wash his face.

Then he looked at the sky; it was already starting to get dark, and the moon was faintly showing a hint of its shadow.

“Wait, the moon?!”

A possibility suddenly flashed through Su Can's mind like lightning.

If he could absorb sunlight, could he also absorb moonlight?

Moreover, the sun and moon are two completely different energies, so perhaps they could have different effects?
