Chapter 27 The Whirlwind Turtle: I Have the Ability to Control Floods

"......Jade?"

Although Xiao Jiu can say some simple words now, it is still a bit difficult for her to pronounce the "Fu Yu" in Heng Gong Yu's name.

Heng Gongyu Fuyu: "Xiao Jiu can continue to call me A Yu."

Xiao Jiu: "Ayu!"

Fu Yu: "Mm!"

I have obtained the medicine that was synthesized earlier, but just as the system expected, it is very ordinary.

[Low-level ointments: Can treat most external injuries, but the effect is generally limited]

The translucent, light green ointment was contained in a small, thin box. The box disappeared almost instantly, the moment Xiao Jiu poured out all the ointment.

The Suanni (a mythical beast) complained: "Stingy."

Although this box, which is only slightly larger than Xiao Jiu's fist, is not very useful, the fact that the outer packaging disappears automatically is still quite baffling.

The system was speechless, and surprisingly, it didn't argue with the Suanni.

The medicine was poured entirely onto the wound on the side of the tortoise. The medicine seemed to automatically gather at the wound, and since there wasn't much ointment, it quickly created the sight of green liquid filling the horrifying wound.

The purplish-red wound and the translucent green medicine looked rather eerie, as if the wound was rotting and oozing pus.

Suanni felt a little disgusted.

However, before he could even open his mouth to complain, the turtle that was stuck horizontally in the field started losing its feathers.

When the Xuan Turtle was summoned, it looked as if it was covered with a layer of moss. Now, this "moss" has automatically peeled off, revealing a glossy black turtle shell.

A black and red head slowly emerged. Its blood-red mouth was different from that of a normal turtle, presenting a forward-protruding triangle, more like a hooked bird's beak.

Taotie: "Awooooo."

Suanni: "Indeed, that layer of moss should have grown on inanimate objects, while the one on the Xuan Turtle should have been interrupted as soon as it started to grow."

Xuan Gui: "Knock knock."

Everyone looked at the Suanni.

Suanni: ?

Suanni: "Don't look at me, I'm not Bai Ze, I don't understand either."

The system is more direct: "Do you know where the Bai Ze can be found?"

Suanni: ? ? ?

System: [Okay, let me rephrase the question. Do you know where Bai Ze is?]

Suanni, unable to contain itself any longer, retorted: "I'm not a map or an encyclopedia! And what do you mean, 'Where is Bai Ze?' You're not going to catch Treasure Omega!"

Suanni and the system finally started their usual bickering, while over here, Xiao Jiu and Xuan Gui were staring at each other with wide eyes.

After a long while, Xiao Jiu tried to say, "Yes, Xiao Jiu."

The tortoise lowered its head: "Knock knock."

Xiao Jiu: "Friends, System, Doggy, Meow Meow, Ayu."

Xuan Gui: "Knock knock."

Seeing that Xiao Jiu had already begun to stammeringly describe the farmland, the system exclaimed in surprise: [Host, you can understand!?]

Suanni also came over: "Little Jiu, what did he say?"

Xiao Jiu said seriously, "No, I know."

The non-human onlookers: ......

So how did you two start chatting?

The system suddenly noticed something amiss: [Host, I remember you said before that you caught someone at the rift?]

Xiao Jiu nodded: "People."

The system was bewildered.

That's not right, where are they?

The system went through the process. Xiao Jiu said she had caught someone, and then a pet named "Whirling Turtle" appeared in the pet space. Plus, the Whirlwind Turtle's movements...

It made a guess and became excited: "Alright, we don't need to look for Bai Ze anymore. Once the Xuan Turtle's injuries heal, it can speak."

The system quickly wrote: "So, quickly help me earn points!"

The Suanni stared at the red characters in the mist, speechless. "I knew it."

Just as the system was about to bring up the contract again, Suanni turned around and ran away.

Although the system kept mentioning points, Suanni had to admit that, to some extent, the existence of the system was really cheating.

It can conjure things from other worlds out of thin air, construct stable spatial channels, bring a doomed monster back to its peak, and create magical green grain blocks that can attract divine beasts and ferocious beasts.

These things, one after another, gave Suanni the feeling that "as long as you have enough points, the system can fulfill any wish."

In a way, Suanni's intuition was correct.

However, the current system can only calculate the daily points expenditure in a stingy way, so at this time, Xiao Jiu and the others can only honestly plant flowers together and wait for them to bloom.

When considering the types of flowers to be planted in the next round, the system hesitated.

Given the severity of the tortoise's wounds, which may require further treatment to prevent further deterioration, the spirit-transformed morning glories cannot be sold for the time being.

The recovery ability of the Whirlwind Turtle is the complete opposite of that of the Horizontal Fish. Its recovery ability is extremely strong. According to the system's estimate, it will take at most five or six days for it to recover from its current 2% health to 60%.

Five or six days isn't a long time. Even if there are any spirit-transformed morning glories left, they can still be sold, but...

The system did the math.

Their numbers are growing, and the places where they need to use points are also increasing.

Taotie needs grains to grow, and Suanni still owes twenty grains. As for Fuyu, given Xiao Jiu's personality, even if eating grains is useless now, he will definitely exchange them for grains for Fuyu.

The system guesses that once the Xuan Turtle and others recover to 60%, they should be able to transform into humans, but this transformation requires a huge amount of energy, and the best energy source is food...

Each grain block costs 50 points, which adds up to a considerable sum.

If we continue planting morning glories as planned, it will be safe to grow them, but compared to other flowers, the points are still too few and can't keep up with the rate at which they are used.

The system is tempted to take a gamble.

The Suanni seemed to understand what the system was thinking. It yawned widely and flicked its tail: "The flower last time was called a sunflower, right? What, are you scared?"

The system smeared a cloud of red mist onto the Suanni's face: 【You're the one who's scared!】

Actually, the system is a little scared.

They had seen the "frenzy" debuff effect of the sunflower before, and the system was afraid that it would affect the Suanni Henggong Fish and the others again this time.

Suanni simply said, "If you want to plant, then plant. Who do you think I am? Do you think I'll fall in the same place twice?"

Is it true or false?

The Suanni snorted and ignored it.

Just as the system was about to replace the morning glory, Suanni spoke up again: "Hey, system, I'm serious."

The Suanni is usually lazy and prone to verbally provoking and attacking others, but at this moment, he has a stern face, and his round amber eyes shine like gemstones, exuding a majestic aura.

He said, "Neither the horizontal fish nor the spiral turtle will be in any danger."

You said it.

"Tsk... Fine, I said it."

So the system promptly went to Xiao Jiu's side and gently said in her mind: [Host, let's continue planting sunflowers.]

Xiao Jiu's mind was clearly working much better than before. He didn't answer immediately, but asked, "Sun, Flower, Meow Meow, Ayu?"

The system explained gently until Xiao Jiu nodded in agreement, then it replaced the seeds with a handful of sunflower seeds.

This wasn't the first time they'd planted sunflowers, and Fuyu, not wanting to just watch from the sidelines, offered to help soak the seeds herself.

So Fuyu followed Xiaojiu's actions to soak the seeds, and after soaking them, he filtered them out of the container. But before he could volunteer to sow the seeds, he suddenly collapsed from exhaustion, which startled Xiaojiu.

System: [So, just focus on recovering.]

In the system's understanding and positioning, Henggongyu Fuyu is a fragile mascot; it's best not to touch it if possible.

Fu Yu replied softly, "I understand..."

Just as he was looking down, lost in his own sorrow, Xiao Jiu bounced over: "Ayu! Swim!"

[The host said, "Once you're healed, I want to swim with you."]

The Suanni added insult to injury: "Oh? That's swimming?"

Zombies don't know how to swim. Almost all zombies just lie flat in the water, either drifting with the current or sinking to the bottom. Anyway, they won't drown.

Xiao Jiu was similar; before, she was just randomly bumping around with the force of the current.

The system quickly typed in front of the Suanni: [If the host says it's swimming, then it's swimming!]

The Suanni let out a "heh," and Fuyu instantly stood up straight.

He immediately agreed to Xiao Jiu's request: "Okay! Let's swim together!"

After saying that, Fuyu immediately lay flat on the sand, closed his eyes, and began to remain still.

He needs to focus on recovering from his injury!

Suanni glanced at Fuyu, then at Xiao Jiu, who was stroking Taotie. He flicked his long tail, lost in thought.

Just as the system predicted, five days later, the Xuan Turtle's health successfully jumped to 60%.

With the sunflower seedlings in the field as a source of confidence, the system allowed Xiao Jiu to exchange for a round of universal pet food blocks.

The system was initially worried that the tortoise wouldn't eat it, since the food looked rather suspicious.

However, the tortoise did not hesitate at all and ate it very seriously, bite by bite.

After stuffing enough food into its belly, as if by magic, this palm-sized turtle rapidly elongated its body and deformed its bones.

A few seconds later, he transformed into a burly man who was over two meters tall.

Before its transformation, the Xuan Turtle was entirely black and glossy, but its human form had snow-white skin, creating a striking contrast with its muscular physique.

Xuan Gui's humanoid features were deep and profound. As soon as he finished transforming, he immediately knelt down on one knee and called out to Xiao Jiu in a deep voice, "Master."

Xiao Jiu blinked, trying hard to imitate the syllables she heard: "Master?"

He looked down at the Taotie, feeling a little strange: "Little Jiu, friend. Master, what?"

The system quickly smeared a cloud of blood mist in front of the Whirlwind Turtle: [Ahhh, don't say that!]

Xuan Gui was also a little confused.

He glanced around discreetly.

The brown kitten sitting in the farmland had a subtle look in its eyes; the fish-tailed boy lying flat on the white sand had a resentful expression; and the gray ball of fur held in the arms of a child opened its pair of diamond-shaped red eyes...

Quickly say you're his friend!

An arrow was drawn under the word "he," pointing to Xiao Jiu.

Xuan Gui immediately changed his tune: "Yes, I am your friend."

Xiao Jiu was so distracted by the system's voice in her mind that she quickly forgot about the title.

Xuan Gui then realized that something was wrong with his "master," and it didn't seem to be the intellectual developmental delay or head injury he had previously thought.

He hesitated for a moment, then tried to conjure up a new set of clothes for himself.

It's called clothing, but it looks more like a layer of black scales clinging to the skin.

The scales gleamed with a lustrous sheen, completely covering the lower half of the tortoise's body and half of its abdomen. The scales on the left side of its abdomen were particularly thick, clearly intended to protect the still-healing wounds.

All in all, it's quite good-looking.

Sure enough, Xiao Jiu immediately became interested after seeing his transformation.

He crouched down as well, staring at the scales on the tortoise's body: "What?"

The tortoise said gently, "These are clothes I made from my scales."

"Clothes, clothes, garments..."

Xiao Jiu looked down at her naked body, then at the spinning tortoise, and looked up at the sky: "System, clothes..."

The system was practically in tears.

Its host has finally become aware of the need to wear clothes!

There was nothing they could do; the people living here weren't human, and neither were demonic beasts nor spirit beasts. None of them would wear clothes in their animal form, so Xiao Jiu had been running around naked like that for a long time.

The system suddenly realized that the Whirlwind Turtle was really reliable.

But that's not all.

Xuan Gui looked around and suggested, "It's such a waste to just leave this water here. Let me take care of it."

System: [Processing?]

Xuan Gui: "Yes, I have the ability to control floods."

System, Suanni: !!!

Suanni: "Yay!"
