"If possible, I hope we can bring all of this cotton back with us."

Sang Ning said honestly.

The audience felt this was unrealistic.

[Ningning, you need to be down-to-earth and not aim too high. This cotton field is at least several hectares. Let alone whether you can harvest it all, even if you do, you can't take it all with you.]

Yes, Ningning, just take what you can carry. We can always come back next time.

Listen to Grandpa, don't be greedy, just do enough.

Yes, Ningning, I remember you humans have a word something like "greedy for everything," I can't remember the exact words, but that's the gist of it. Think about it yourself, and don't be greedy.

Then, the screen was flooded with comments saying "Don't be greedy."

Sang Ning was both amused and exasperated. "Okay, I've remembered everyone's advice. I'll talk to Emmanuel and the others when they get back."

The audience was satisfied with the sound.

Monet and the others were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"I was really worried that Ningning and the others would try to bring all the cotton back, but thankfully they know their limits."

Monet, who was drying fish and medicinal herbs, breathed a sigh of relief, looking as if she could finally relax.

Luo Tianya, who was cutting dead wood for firewood with a laser axe next to her, glanced at her upon hearing this and said, "You're sensible now."

Mo Nainai didn't like hearing that. She said irritably, "What nonsense are you talking about? When have I ever been unreasonable?"

Luo Tianya scoffed, "What do you know? You're a piece of trash that everyone hates. Where do you get the nerve to think you're so sensible?"

He opened his mouth to retort, but Clyde didn't give him the chance. Holding the carrying pole and bucket, he said, "Big Tooth, come with me to fetch salt."

"Why do we have to pick salt again?"

Luo Tianya muttered to himself, but his hands moved quickly as he put down the laser axe and came to Clyde's side, saying, "Aren't there several wooden tubes of salt stored in the room?"

"Where would we need so much salt?"

“Sang Ning said that we need to make pickled products, such as fish, meat, and pickled vegetables, which require a lot of salt. We need to stock up on salt before the cold winter comes, otherwise it will be terrible if we have no salt to eat when the cold winter arrives.”

Clyde explained patiently, and Luo Tianya responded with an "oh," then asked, "Did you bring your rations?"

"Yes, it's in the bucket."

Looking into the wooden bucket, Luo Tianya noticed several packets of fern leaves inside. He opened one and found that it contained not only meat and fish, but also mushroom sauce and other similar items.

Clyde's version is even more outrageous; he even wrapped rice and flour in separate leaf packages.

The portions weren't large, but with fish and meat, it was enough for the two of them.

Giving him a thumbs-up, Luo Tianya asked, "Shall we set off now?"

"Um."

Clyde carried the buckets out, saying, "Let's go early and come back early."

"Okay!"

This is a serious matter, and Luo Tianya has no reason to refuse.

Before leaving, the two instructed Mu Tao, "Keep an eye on Nana and Luo Ya, make sure they are protected, understand?"

Fimmonloa wanted to say that she didn't need protection, just Monaine.

After all, her fighting skills are really weak.

But Mu Tao patted his chest and said not to worry, he would definitely protect them.

So, Philoia swallowed back the words she was about to say and changed them to—

"You two be careful!"

Come back soon!

Mo Nainai gave her instructions, and Mu Tao waved to the two of them, "Go with peace of mind and come back quickly. I'll take care of things at home, so don't worry."

"good!"

Then, Luo Tianya and Clyde each carried two buckets and left.

Meanwhile, Emmanuel returned from the cotton field with a whole net full of cotton.

He happened to see a Mokdacai taking cotton from a small basket and putting it into a large basket. He was completely bewildered by the Mokdacai's behavior and stared at it blankly for a long time. Only after the Mokdacai excitedly returned to the cotton field did he look away and ask Sang Ning, "What was that Mokdacai doing just now?"

"...Not just one."

Sang Ning looked up from her busy work and recounted the events in a rather complicated manner.

Emmanuel was stunned for a moment, and only after she finished speaking did he laugh and cry, "You are probably the first intelligent life form in the recorded history of the Moykaz universe to reach an equivalent exchange agreement with Mokdacai."

Sang Ning's lips twitched slightly as she emphasized, "It wasn't my choice. I don't even know how things turned out this way."

"This is a good thing."

Emmanuel struggled to suppress his laughter, then quipped, "You're quite something to make a bunch of Mordalians do all that work for free, hahaha..."

Seeing Sang Ning's helpless expression, he could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.

Sanning, "?"

Friend, are you being polite?

Laughing is one thing, but laughing like that is tantamount to trying to capsize the ship of friendship.

She glared at Emmanuel, who, perhaps sensing her displeasure, quickly slipped away.

"Make another net, and we'll stop picking them after we finish today."

"Going back?"

Sang Ning asked.

Emmanuel stopped and pointed to the baskets and nets of cotton drying on the ground around Sanning, saying, "We can't pick them anymore. If we keep picking them, we won't be able to take them back."

Sang Ning looked at their progress over the past few days and smiled, "Then you go quickly, we'll go back tomorrow."

Emmanuel nodded, then turned and quickly returned to the cotton field to continue his work.

Sang Ning continued weaving the rattan net. Once the net was finished, she busied herself collecting all the cotton that had been drying on the net and pressing the cotton in the basket down to make it more compact.

Just then, a Mokda came back to put out the cotton. Seeing Sang Ning's actions, it stood by and watched for a while, then took down the basket, barked at her, and darted away with lightning speed.

In a short while, he disappeared from Sang Ning's and the audience's sight.

"What did it say? What did it do?"

Sang Ning asked.

The audience felt that Sang Ning really thought too highly of them.

If they had the ability to know what Mokda Cai was saying and doing, they wouldn't have so much free time to sit in her live stream.

He's long since become a big shot in his own right, busy with his business and making waves.

Self-reliance is key to success. You are already a mature and wise person; solve your own problems. Don't think about asking us for help; we can't help you.

If you're really curious, you can follow them and take a look. There aren't any large, ferocious beasts around here, so don't worry about safety.

[No, Ningning, please don't listen to the person upstairs. Even with a wide-angle lens, the live stream camera can only capture a limited area and scene. It can't cover everything. If there's a large wild animal nearby, running out like that would be irresponsible and endanger your life.]

Don't go. Keep doing your work. Trust me, that runaway Mokda will come back. It hasn't taken its precious basket yet.
