Chapter 76 Returning from the Hunt

When Banxia found the Devouring Tree, it was training its little brother, the Ginkgo Tree.

"We can't fight like this using brute force alone; we need to use our brains..."

Every day, he spoke with great enthusiasm and passion, and Xingzi listened with rapt attention.

Banxia touched her nose, suddenly feeling a little guilty.

She was just saying it casually at first, but who knew she would take it so seriously every day.

"...Alright, that's enough for today. Go practice."

The Devouring Tree casually dismissed Xingzi and walked over to Banxia, ​​asking, "Banxia, ​​are you done with your work?"

“No, Nanxing won’t let me work alone.” She opened her notebook. “I’ve made a plan; see if you think it’s feasible.”

Despite not being able to read, she carefully explained her plans.

After listening, the Devouring Tree pondered for a while and said, "I think it's possible. At most, we can be completely self-sufficient in six months."

It mimicked a human's gesture of putting its hands on its hips: "Banxia, ​​get up and get some more exotic plant underlings to work!"

Banxia: "...Okay, I'll take it if I find a suitable one."

After the apocalypse, the status of humans and animals and plants is instantly reversed.

Animals mutated first, followed by plants, and then humans.

She was extremely lucky to have received a mutated tree at the very beginning of the apocalypse.

She took out two large bags of pasture seeds, and handed one of them to the Sky-Swallowing Tree: "Tian Tian, ​​let's start by promoting the growth of pasture."

The Devouring Tree was equally determined, and the two of them began to cultivate it from the edge of the space.

One advantage of space farming is that it eliminates the need for cultivated land and the need to consider whether the crop's growing environment and temperature are suitable.

She and Tiantian casually scattered the seeds on the ground and used their supernatural abilities to accelerate their growth; the seeds instantly took root and sprouted.

Alfalfa, corn grass, chicory, forage vegetables, Rumex, amaranth, sweet elephant grass, and Napier grass were used to cultivate a total of 20,000 square meters.

With their current abilities, she and Tiantian can only make the seeds sprout; they don't have the capacity to accelerate their ripening.

Banxia stopped her efforts to induce growth: "One day is enough. Let it grow slowly on its own. We have plenty of food and can wait."

The Devouring Tree immediately withdrew its supernatural power. It and Banxia had a habit of always keeping a portion of their supernatural power within their bodies to deal with unexpected situations.

This habit saved it and Banxia from danger several times.

The Devouring Tree grabbed Banxia's wrist and said coquettishly, "I'm so tired! Banxia, ​​I want to have a seafood feast today!"

Banxia: "...Okay, take it yourself."

Once she digs out the pond and raises the seafood, there will be a continuous supply of seafood!

The Devouring Tree immediately rushed into the Black Fish Space like the wind, leaving only a message in the air: "Thank you!"

Banxia: ...

Tian Tian's personality is becoming more and more lively!

She returned to the living room and fed Tuanzi a bottle of milk.

Tuanzi has gained a lot of weight. She weighed herself on the scale: 6.9kg.

Banxia remembered that Nanxing had shown her a panda science video a couple of days ago. A panda cub that is just over a month old usually weighs around 2kg.

So, the dumpling has evolved too?

Banxia imagined a panda as big as a mutated wild boar and suddenly felt that Tuanzi was no longer cute.

The little dumpling had no idea that Banxia was disgusted with it. It kept whimpering and snuggling closer to Banxia's hand, indicating that it wasn't full yet.

Banxia quickly made another bottle of milk powder, as Tuanzi wasn't full.

Banxia made another bottle, but she still wasn't full.

Finally, Banxia made five 200ml bottles of milk before Tuanzi stopped whimpering.

Banxia stuffed Tuanzi into the doghouse that Jinzi used to use, washed the baby bottle, and went out to encourage bamboo growth!

Pandas can eat nearly sixty kinds of bamboo, and their favorites include twenty-seven kinds such as arrow bamboo, light bamboo, bitter bamboo, walking stick bamboo, and August bamboo.

Speaking of which, Tuanzi was quite lucky; she never thought about planting bamboo when she was stockpiling goods.

Coincidentally, she found several bags of bamboo rice at a flower and plant market while doing a zero-yuan purchase.

She glanced at the names on the packaging: Moso bamboo, cold arrow bamboo, August bamboo.

Two bags of each type, 500g per bag.

Pinellia ternata was casually scattered on the ground, activating its supernatural power to induce growth.

Bamboo grows very quickly, but panda cubs can only eat bamboo after six months. Therefore, Banxia stopped growing when the cubs reached 20 centimeters in length.

After the induced labor was completed, Banxia returned to the living room and turned on the computer to search for learning materials on excavators.

She plans to dig ten ponds, each 1,000 square meters in size, to raise not only aquatic products such as fish, shrimp, and crabs, but also aquatic plants such as kelp, laver, lotus root, water chestnut, asparagus, and water caltrop.

An excavator can dig about 200 cubic meters of soil a day. Banxia calculated how long it would take to dig ten ponds and finally decided to just leave it as is and dig a few for later use.

Operating an excavator is very simple. Banxia put the video aside, found the biggest excavator, and started digging a hole: push up, pull down, pull left, pull right...

The more she dug, the more excited she became. Suddenly, Banxia understood why some people online said that every man dreams of owning an excavator!

After selecting a feast, the Devouring Tree came over to watch for a while and also became interested, pestering Banxia to let her drive the excavator too.

Banxia let it choose one by itself. Anyway, she had many excavators purchased for free, so it wouldn't matter if one broke down!

An hour later, Xingzi finished practicing and came over to watch. Banxia told her to study hard before she opened her mouth, and then they would dig a hole together after she finished.

So when Nanxing finished cleaning the whole pig and took a bath and came to find someone, he found that one person and two trees had dug a hole and gotten themselves stuck!

They even organized a competition with no prizes.

Nanxing: ...

My wife's personality has become more and more lively!

Banxia, ​​relying on human wisdom, won first place and dragged Nanxing out of the space for a meal.

The Devouring Tree and Apricot decided to learn from their shame and work harder during the summer break to redeem themselves!

After dinner, the two sat in the living room watching TV while waiting for the gold and silver they had hunted to return home.

Nanxing looked outside several times, and finally couldn't help but say worriedly, "Wife, Jinzi and Yinzi have been gone for several hours. Should we go out and look for them?"

Banxia had complete faith in the strength of Jinzi and Yinzi, and casually guessed, "Maybe they've harvested too much and are reluctant to go home early."

Half an hour later, the sound of gold and silver being swiped came from the doorway.

Nanxing quickly opened the door: "Gold, silver..."

He stared in disbelief at the dozen or so prey that Gold and Silver had dragged back with vines, and dryly praised, "Truly, truly amazing!"

As expected of a dog and cat that have watched cartoons, they've even learned to use vines to tie up their prey!

He wouldn't be surprised if they started speaking human language one day!

Banxia couldn't help but facepalm. Five mutated chickens as tall as an adult's shoulder, six wild boars as big as half a tiger, and three mutated rabbits as tall as half a person!

She even sensed that not all the mutated beasts were dead; some were still alive!

Jinzi and Yinzi proudly stuffed the vines into Banxia's hands: Sister, this is the empire I built for you!

Banxia patted each of their heads: "Thank you, gold; thank you, silver; you're all great!"

Gold and Silver immediately wagged their tails proudly, "My sister praised me!"
