Chapter 10 Chapter 10 What is the Sweet Potato King?

Ye Mian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then he let go of his hand, stood up, and looked at the battle in front of him that seemed to be over.

Although this result was caused by her, but... the person involved expressed that she was very confused.

After a while, Ye Mian looked at the group of wild Panax notoginseng that had been uprooted and moved behind him with the help of flower vines. He then looked at the mutant osprey that was completely defeated by the big black mouth, but was flapping its wings on the ground from time to time to show that it was not dead yet. He realized something belatedly.

Although the attack of this group of wild Panax notoginseng looks very soft, it still has some negative effects.

However, Ye Mian was immune to all attacks, and Dahei had just swallowed a two-tailed snake and became resistant to venom, so the only one who suffered was the mutant osprey.

It's a bit outrageous, but also seems very reasonable.

But one was successfully tamed and the other was about to be killed, so it was a good thing anyway.

Thinking of this, Ye Mian ignored the mutant osprey that was still struggling to survive, but opened the taming interface and flipped through the illustrations to check the information.

【Name：Panax notoginseng

Power: 2

Skills: [Spray] [Grazing]

Characteristics: Timid, good at blending into the environment]

Herbivorous? No wonder there is such an abrupt open space here.

Ye Mian glanced at Ye Sanqi behind him again, with a hint of pity and relief in his eyes. Fortunately, she did not despise her to the end, otherwise the farm would have missed a great weed control general!

After thinking for a while, she squatted down and gently plucked the leaves of Panax notoginseng, and said with a smile: "Remember to eat grass well when you go back, and don't eat things you shouldn't eat."

The branches and leaves of the wild Panax notoginseng trembled, and a few clusters of red flowers also swayed slightly, as if to say that they understood.

Ye Mian didn’t know whether it really understood or was pretending to understand, but he had already said it, so he just had to go back and let Dahei keep an eye on it.

It just so happened that Dahei had already dealt with the mutant osprey and started to eat it without any hesitation. However, the feathers were long and thick, and every time he took a bite of the feathers, Dahei would whimper and complain, which seemed a bit weird and funny.

Ye Mian was certain that Dahei would not eat anything other than intermediate-level mutant beasts, and this eating was not ordinary eating, but a kind of improvement.

When it finished eating, pickup prompts for the two items popped up.

[Do you want to pick up the "broken osprey tail feather"? ]

[Do you want to pick up the "Thunderstone"? ]

Ye Mian clicked to pick it up, and opened the warehouse to exchange the black feather for ten points, then turned to look at the three flame fruits that the side quest had just given him.

The appearance looks similar to the green fruit, both are oval in shape, but unlike the latter which has a smooth skin, the flame fruit has some dark cracks on the surface, but when you take it out and look at it, it does not seem to be really cracked.

Ye Mian thought of something and opened the extra corn pizza recipe, and sure enough, he saw the words "Flame Fruit" on it.

"It seems that we should still do the side quests if we can."

However, Ye Mian really wanted to know what rewards the collection task of the three special foods would give, so he resisted the urge to refresh the task and decided to put it aside for now.

The exploration was completed and the hunting was rewarding.

Ye Mian was content to take Dahei with him, as well as Yesanqi who was following timidly behind him, and set out on the return journey.

Because her physical strength was not very good and she kept stopping and starting along the way, most of the afternoon was spent going back and forth. By the time she returned to the farm, the day was almost over.

Under the dim setting sun, Ye Mian looked at the small farm that had changed drastically and his pace couldn't help but slow down.

Xue Kai has harvested the corn and planted the tomatoes. The ripe red tomatoes and the green branches and leaves are set off against each other, sparkling in the sun.

The cornfield on the other side failed to survive and produce a second crop of corn cobs. Instead, it had become dry and withered, rustling in the breeze.

Harvest and withering are presented before our eyes at the same time.

At the same time, Xue Kai can be seen busy moving through the wheat fields. Because there is no water pipe, he is diligently watering each seed manually.

When he saw Ye Mian and Dahei coming back, he was about to wave and say hello, but the next second he saw Yesanqi moving forward little by little with the flower vines behind him, and he was stunned.

It was not until Ye Mian had arranged the wild Panax notoginseng to graze in front of and behind the house that he reacted and took a few steps over.

"That's also a mutant, right?"

Ye Mian nodded: "Yes, it's similar to Dahei, but even though it is considered one of our own, you'd better not get too close to it."

Although wild Panax notoginseng will not spray poison at people at will after being tamed, it is still better to be careful.

Even without her reminder, Xue Kai did not dare to approach. He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, then thought, "The rabbit's fur is too hard, and I couldn't find a saw, so I just left it alone."

“So dinner is still vegetarian.”

That's what he said, but when the meal actually started, you could tell that he had put a lot of effort into this vegetarian meal.

The main dish is the potatoes that were harvested today, including French fries, potato chips, stir-fried potato shreds, and boiled potatoes. The accompaniment is carrot and corn soup, plus simple homemade tomato sauce.

The luxury and abundance also reveal a sense of doing one's best.

Ye Mian finally tasted something other than sweet. The fried food was salty, fragrant and crispy, and paired with the sweet and sour tomato sauce, it had a refreshing and appetizing feel.

Fried and boiled potatoes are glutinous but not sticky. Eating them hot is very satisfying and warms the body instantly.

Xue Kai, who was sitting opposite, was also eating happily. However, halfway through the meal, he seemed to suddenly think of something and became a little depressed. Although he took some time to adjust himself, his movements became slower afterwards.

It is not difficult to guess that he was thinking of the people close to him.

There was only one relatively important person in Ye Mian's life, and that was the master who taught her all the skills. However, he had passed away for many years and she rarely thought of him anymore.

As for her original self, from some fragments of memories, she could learn that she was half an orphan - her parents divorced when she was young, and then remarried and had new children, and she became the redundant one.

Even the people who abandoned her were her stepfather and younger brother.

The mother became a mutant.

Stopping his reminiscence at the right time, seeing Xue Kai put down his chopsticks as if he had no appetite, Ye Mian took out the three special recipes from the system warehouse and handed them to him.

"See if there are any materials that can be prepared in advance and go to the city to look for them tomorrow."

"Huh?" Xue Kai's attention immediately turned to the menu, and he found that in addition to the fruit sandwiches he saw yesterday, there were also vegetable salads and corn pizzas. They were all relatively simple Western dishes. Except for fruits and vegetables which were special ingredients, everything else could be made with ordinary ingredients.

For example, pizza dough requires flour, yeast, sugar, salt, oil, etc.

Although there are risks in entering the city, seeing that Ye Mian has made up his mind, he nodded: "Okay, then I will make a detailed list."

After Xue Kai finished making the list, he had to clean the dishes and the kitchen. After finishing dinner, Ye Mian took the basket and went to harvest the tomatoes.

As usual, Dahei came over and got a few tomatoes, eating them one by one with great relish.

Seeing this, Ye Mian also wiped the skin of the tomatoes lightly and picked them while eating.

Unlike tomato sauce, fresh tomatoes are sweet and sour, refreshing and just the right fruit to eat after a meal.

Xue Kai probably considered that harvesting would be too tiring, and there were too many fruits and vegetables piled up to be eaten all at once, so he only planted twenty tomato plants for the time being, so the extra harvest would not be much.

There are only two types: tomato seeds x10 and cherry tomato seeds x10.

Ye Mian opened the warehouse and took a look, and then she found that after she went out in the afternoon, Xue Kai continued to harvest corn and got two extra bags of corn seeds of different varieties, namely black corn and fruit corn.

Adding it all up, there are a total of fifteen extra gains, which is only five away from completing the task.

I hope my spiritual essence value will be higher tomorrow.

And because he had to leave early for the city tomorrow, Xue Kai did not stay up late to do farm work after finishing his work. He just took a quick look around the wheat field and checked the condition of the sweet potato seeds that had been planted not long ago. Then, after Ye Mian went upstairs, he followed him up and picked an empty room to rest.

Ye Mian was also thinking about going into the city, so he woke up naturally at daybreak in the morning.

She subconsciously opened the system interface and took a look. After confirming that there was no movement, she stayed in bed for a while with peace of mind.

When she was ready to go downstairs, she heard Xue Kai exclaiming outside, and Dahei also barked.

“?” What happened again?

Ye Mian took a few quick steps and walked out of the gate, then he saw the source of the commotion - a piece of wasteland on the right side of the house that had not been moved yet. At this moment, it was bare, not to mention the weeds as high as the calves, not even the grass roots were left.

Not only that, the grass in the corners around the house was also eaten clean.

So fast?

While thinking, Ye Mian looked around for Panax notoginseng. When he found it hiding in the middle of the tomato field that had been harvested yesterday, he was stunned for a moment.

Then he said with a smile: "It's okay, it was the flower from yesterday that did it."

It was quite honest and didn't touch the harvested vegetables at all except for the weeds.

Xue Kai finally understood after hearing this. Ye Mian probably brought the mutant flower back because of its ability to kill weeds.

There really is no one who eats for free.

He relaxed and nodded: "Then I'll go dig sweet potatoes for breakfast."

"Together."

On the way to take out the hoe and basket, Ye Mian took a look at today's spiritual energy value - 9+1. She couldn't help but pause and raised her eyebrows slightly.

Although I don’t know if the full value is 10, this is the highest in the past three days.

In addition to the sweet potatoes that are ready to be harvested, lush green seedlings have also grown in the wheat field. I believe they will be ripe by the time I come back.

Then you can plant all the vegetables and tomato seeds that mature quickly, and you should be able to get a large extra harvest.

As if he had heard her thoughts, Xue Kai skillfully used his hoe to dig out the first sweet potato along with the seedlings and fruits, and the text box popped up.

【Get extra "Sweet Potato Seeds" X100! 】

Ye Mian took a look, then calmly imitated him and swung the hoe, then dug the soil hard, and a bunch of plump sweet potatoes appeared.

【Get extra "Sweet Potato Seeds" X100! 】

“…”

This probability and this number, are they serious?

Ye Mian was a little confused for a moment, not knowing whether to feel surprised or frightened, but after she finished digging everything, she was completely numb - with only ten sweet potato seeds, she harvested nearly two hundred sweet potatoes and three hundred sweet potato seeds.

What is the sweet potato king?

But soon, Ye Mian gladly accepted this self-proclaimed title, and even looked forward to the days of growing sweet potatoes in the future.
