However, to Lu Yulan's surprise, Green was actually an invisible little helper.

Ever since he started eating Lu Yulan's food, he has brought back two different little animals every day, asking Lu Yulan to cook them in various ways.

The only problem is that he still likes the bottom of the lake and likes to go down there whenever he has nothing to do.

He almost made Lu Yulan suspect that he was an aquatic animal.

Every time that group of little green dumplings surrounded the lake, Lu Yulan knew that Green had run to the bottom of the lake again.

With the help of others, many of Lu Yulan's ideas came to fruition.

On the other side of the lake, with the help of Uncle and Green, she dug a small pond, scattered lotus seeds in the center, and water chestnut seeds at the very edge.

Her likes increased significantly every day, changing with the dishes she made, which made her less worried about not having enough likes to exchange for seeds.

"Green, come with me to the back mountain. We're making mushroom soup and stir-fried wood ear mushrooms with meat today."

Lu Yulan shouted towards the bottom of the lake, and sure enough, the other person came out.

Meanwhile, the uncle was planting a new round of grains in the yard: soybeans and corn.

Walk along the stream by the lake towards the back of the mountain.

With the greenery around, Lu Yulan no longer needs to worry about wild animals attacking her, and can head into the mountains.

It's May now, the air is warm and humid, and with Green and the others having been here for the past two days, it's been raining on the little planet.

There should be mushrooms and wood ear fungus in the mountains.

Lu Yulan really likes to eat mushrooms; I guess most girls love that slippery texture.

She really wanted to cultivate the bacteria herself, but she needed corn cobs; otherwise, she couldn't do it.

Xiaomi's cultivation methods in her food system are too sophisticated, so she decided to do it herself.

So, carrying the green, we set off into the mountains.

Several little green dumplings followed behind, bouncing along, looking quite adorable.

With greenery clearing the way, those aggressive trees simply retreated.

Then Lu Yulan walked toward the place with decaying leaves and branches.

Sure enough, I saw clusters of pure white mushrooms.

As for the variety, who knows? She's just a heartless foodie.

Unfortunately, before she could even make a move, the little green dumplings pounced on her.

Lu Yulan's heart sank to a chill.

Green simply circled the small balls together, and the mushrooms ended up in his hands.

Then he handed it to Lu Yulan, saying, "Here, some food."

"Okay, thank you."

Lu Yulan took it, analyzed it with her instrument, and only after confirming that it was non-toxic did she feel relieved enough to collect it.

Looking at the little green dumpling with its red eyes, Lu Yulan was furious, as the last beneficiary of the food being stolen.

Yes, she's thinking about what would taste best when cooked this way.

"Green, put them down."

Along the way, Lu Yulan not only found mushrooms, but also chestnuts, chestnuts without sharp edges.

This is truly a commendable evolution; kudos to chestnuts!

Many were scattered on the ground. Perhaps because their outer shells were quite hard, and because they were about the size of a palm, they were not all eaten by animals.

On the way back, Little Green Dumpling got so angry that she jumped up to an unknown tree and refused to come down.

Lu Yulan looked up.

Somewhat unexpected.

"Xiao Mi, is this a mulberry?"

Yes, host.

The black dots, resembling cat's eyes, are large and round, resembling small grapes.

"But it's so tall, it must taste delicious."

"tasty?!"

Upon hearing this, Green simply stretched out its tentacles; the three-meter-high branch was a piece of cake for it.

When she returned to her lodgings, the uncle had already washed the rice and was waiting for Lu Yulan to come back and cook.

Seeing the two return, he casually took the storage box from Lu Yulan's hand.

Then open it.

There were all sorts of things, a whole bunch of them.

Lu Yulan brought back all sorts of mushrooms.

The uncle knelt on the ground, selecting and categorizing the items one by one.

Lu Yulan was pleasantly surprised by the uncle's actions.

"Uncle, do you recognize these things?"

Don't you recognize him?

"I don't know him."

"Why would I bring someone back if I don't know them?"

Seeing Lu Yulan's behavior these past few days, the uncle thought that Lu Yulan must know a lot about plants and animals.

Lu Yulan felt a little shy. The uncle was like a real elder. Although he wouldn't blame her, his eyes were so gentle that she felt a little embarrassed.

After spending these past few days together, she realized that the older man was definitely not the editor.

The editor is a big, burly man, while the uncle is so gentle, as gentle as a scion of a noble family.

"It just doesn't look poisonous, so I was wondering if I could turn it into food. Uncle, you know, this is my job."

After listening, the uncle looked up at Lu Yulan, his eyes filled with regret as well as relief.

"You are excellent."

"No, no."

"Uncle, how did you categorize these?"

Lu Yulan asked modestly, "The entire interstellar space is vast, and Grandpa Lu and the others dote on me. Having an uncle like him, who is knowledgeable and insightful, is like a mirror that reflects all my shortcomings."

"According to taste."

"I've eaten some of these before, and some I haven't, but they all have different flavors."

Lu Yulan gently picked one up and smelled it. It was light and refreshing, just like the smell of mushrooms.

Undeterred, he picked up another one, and it still tasted the same.

"Uncle, I can't smell it."
