Chapter 87 You'll soon find out about the food shortage.

The little wolves said they knew what had happened to them, and they knew that without everyone's help and treatment, they would have died long ago.

To repay everyone, they wanted to help tend to the farmland.

If possible, they would also like to learn how to draw qi into the body and how to cultivate themselves.

Suanni said directly, "I am very happy to have more helpers, and I don't care about cultivation, but I won't teach it."

Suanni, Taotie, and Fuyu are all born spirit beasts. Simply put, they understand the way of cultivation from birth, just like breathing, it's completely instinctive.

While Qianchuan's clan, the Xuan Turtle, isn't quite as extreme, their cultivation path differs from that of ordinary demon beasts; they value inheritance and talent.

Inheritance determines whether a tortoise will embark on the path to immortality, while talent determines how far they can go.

In short, Qianchuan himself is more like someone who "suddenly had an epiphany after waking up one day," and he doesn't teach others.

Needless to say, Xiaoxue is still a baby herself and can't even speak yet. Furthermore, her current cultivation level is directly fed by the system and she has never properly used it, let alone taught it to others.

All things considered, it seems that Xie Chuanfeng is the only one who knows these things.

The problem is, Xie Chuanfeng is a human being.

Humans and demons cultivate in completely different ways, so Xie Chuanfeng was powerless to help.

System: "If you really want to increase your cultivation level, you can sign a contract with my host."

The system's primary function is not to raise and train pets, so its functionality is limited, specifically in that there is a limit to the number of contracts that can be signed.

Although the system had already used points to raise this level to the maximum, this level was significantly lower than the farm level cap, so Xiao Jiu could only have a maximum of ten pets at the moment.

The system said, "So the current situation is that even if we give up all the slots, we can only sign contracts with a few of you."

They rescued more than thirty little monsters, which meant that the little wolves had to make a choice for themselves.

—Which little monsters should I choose to sign a contract with?

Suanni: "Wait, System, didn't you say that this pet contract can be unbound? Can't we just have them take turns signing the contract with Xiao Jiu?"

The idea behind Suanni is to first have a few of them sign in, and then have another group sign in once their level increases. After several rounds, everyone's level will be able to rise.

The little wolf's ears stood straight up, and his green eyes seemed to be filled with light, brimming with anticipation.

However, the system shattered their beautiful illusions the next second: "You think I haven't tried?"

The system glanced at the Suanni: "This will be treated as a virus, and the data recovery mechanism will be triggered directly. At that time, all existing data will be forcibly wiped."

This means that the system will be reset to factory settings, all farmland and pet data will be wiped clean, and something might happen in this world.

System: "Don't try it, really don't try it."

Everyone thought about it and agreed.

After all, the system used a bug to make free purchases in other worlds. Even if the items purchased were "junk" that other dimensions didn't actually want, it was still pretty good.

If even such a system doesn't dare to challenge this data recovery mechanism, then it's better if they don't.

After hearing these words, the little wolf's ears drooped down a bit, and his head lowered as well.

But in the end, it didn't say anything, just let out a soft "woof" in a tone that meant "thank you," and then turned and left.

Everyone thought that was the end of it.

Unexpectedly, from that day on, every time they planted or harvested, several fluffy little creatures followed them around.

What surprised everyone even more was that these little furballs, despite their young age, were all very earnest in helping out and didn't cause any trouble at all.

A round little sparrow flew in the air to help scatter the seeds, while a strong little tiger used its thick claws to help dig the transplanting holes.

The little rabbits also kicked the ground with their powerful hind legs, and because they were going so fast, they got mud all over their fur.

However, some of the little rabbits were too young to groom themselves and had to be groomed by the wolf cubs.

Seeing this, Fuyu said gently, "Even if we don't help, we won't kick you out. You can stay here in peace."

Xiao Jiu also said, "Yes, Xiao Jiu will exchange for grain blocks and vegetables!"

A group of little ones surrounded Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu tore a carrot into small pieces with her bare hands, and the little rabbits with different fur colors and patterns supported themselves on their hind legs and used their two short little paws to pick up the carrot pieces.

Qianchuan looked at them with gentle eyes and softly reminded them, "Don't feed them too many carrots, or they'll get sick."

Xiao Jiu nodded seriously: "Xiao Jiu and the dog are going to plant vegetables!"

Fu Yu: "I'll go too."

However, even though Xiao Jiu had already planted two or three rounds of different vegetables, the little rabbits led by Xiao Lang were still working hard.

Xie Chuanfeng couldn't stand it anymore: "You guys go and rest."

But the little wolf still insisted on talking about "repaying the debt of gratitude".

Actually, it's just that those little furballs saw the wolf cub working so hard, so they followed suit.

However, different species, different ages, and even different levels of spiritual intelligence all have an impact on the physical body.

What a wolf cub can do easily might be impossible for some little monsters, even if they grit their teeth and stick out their tongues from exhaustion.

Seeing the little wolf's completely oblivious expression, and even his assertion that everyone was "repaying a debt of gratitude," the Suanni clicked its tongue in annoyance.

He said bluntly, "Hey, is this how you take care of them?"

While the infancy of any creature involves a long period of sleep, these little monsters only spend a small portion of their time sleeping.

The lion raised its paw and pointed at the rabbits at the wolf cub's feet: "They're only a little over a month old, right? Have you thought about what will happen if they get sick?"

He said coldly, "We do have good medicine here, but what if you hadn't come here? How would you have raised them?"

The little wolf was stunned.

Sure enough, the younger, weaker furballs never came back.

In contrast, the little wolf worked even harder.

As everyone knows, it's its pride that prevents it from taking things for free, so no one tried to persuade it further.

Although the changes in the concentration of spiritual energy in this world are not very obvious, there is no doubt that the concentration of spiritual energy has been steadily increasing.

Although the current spiritual energy concentration is still some distance from a true spiritual energy revival, the transplanted spiritual flowers can already survive normally in places away from the World Tree's light.

Of course, they can only survive; they cannot grow normally like the spirit flowers under the halo.

But for everyone, this is still quite good news.

This means that Xiao Jiu and the others no longer need to be confined to the area of ​​those little fairy trees, but can start spreading flowers all over the world.

Sow, wait, harvest.

Transplanting, synthesizing, and making grain blocks.

Time flies.

Fu Yu never mentioned that world again, but Xie Chuanfeng made time to go there once more.

When he returned, he only said "everything is normal", but Qian Chuanfu and the others found that the spiritual energy fluctuations on Xie Chuanfeng's body were almost faint.

This means that the world has completely entered an era of spiritual decline.

After that, Xie Chuanfeng never went again.

The leather vessel that Fu Yu always carried with him was completely destroyed long ago after he rescued these little monsters, and the system is not yet capable of opening a spatial passage at will so that everyone can wander around freely.

This means that the alienated flower has run out of "food".

Xiao Jiu tried feeding him with grain blocks, fertilizer, and vegetables he grew, but the grain blocks were completely ineffective, while the fertilizer and vegetables were slightly more effective.

However, the monster corpses I've seen before contained a lot of energy, so now that I'm feeding them fertilizer and vegetables, I have to feed them several times the amount to make the mutated flowers in a field mature.

Once you calculate the points used, it's a completely unprofitable deal.

The system was at its wit's end: "If all else fails, let's just plant the mutated flowers needed for our special food, and decompose the rest."

The main problem is that it's not mature enough; you can't synthesize it.

Even if you try to sell it, you can only sell it for 1 point.

However, because the energy of immature mutated flowers is close to zero, they cannot even be used as food for mutated flowers.

Everyone sighed, "That's the only way."

We can't possibly feed those little monsters! That would be utterly inhuman!

Suanni glanced back at the enormous elven tree atop the mountain.

As darkness fell, his amber eyes appeared icy cold in the pale light of the elf tree.

He flicked his tail without saying a word.

If the synthesis function is like a lottery, then the decomposition function is pure gambling.

When Xiao Jiu first used the decomposition function, she exchanged for a mysterious crystal. Then, that crystal actually expanded into a spatial channel, allowing the heavily injured Taotie to break in.

The current system can certainly analyze all the data records to determine what it is.

—A special kind of energy body.

To put it simply, that thing is something that beings in their dimension simply cannot control.

Fu Yu was a little scared: "You mean, we still have a certain possibility of making something like that?"

The system nodded heavily.

Xiao Jiu suddenly held up the Taotie: "Dogs can eat it!"

The Taotie's chubby little legs drooped down, as if it had grown two little tails.

Everyone was taken aback.

yes!

Isn't the Taotie supposed to eat everything?

Taotie: "Mmm, I can do it now, and then—"

The Suanni seemed to anticipate what he was about to say, and in terror tried to strangle the Taotie's mouth with its tail.

However, it was too late.

The gluttonous beast exclaimed happily, "Then I'll poop it out and use it as flower feed!"

Everyone: "......"

Taotie's voice is particularly sweet, but when combined with what it says and the images that come to mind, it becomes extremely painful.

If the "flower food" were just thrown directly into the soil, that would be fine, but unfortunately, those mutated flowers eat with their mouths!

Suanni: "...I'm going to throw up."

He snatched the Taotie from Xiao Jiu's hands and tightly bound its head with its tail: "Alright, you're not allowed to speak today."

Taotie couldn't open its mouth at all, it could only growl. It tried to use its claws and legs to pry open Suanni's tail, but its legs were too short to reach it.

In an instant, the Taotie was pupa-like on the ground, looking like a big black caterpillar.

Finding it troublesome to drag him, Suanni simply sat on his lap and rode Taotie like a horse.

The Suanni's tone remained completely unchanged: "Giddy up, giddy up. Wow, this is so much fun, ha, ha, ha."

Taotie: "Waaaaah!!"

Little Jiu, however, followed Taotie and spun larvae together, happily chirping, "Woo woo woo!"

Everyone silently turned their heads, tacitly choosing to ignore the scene.

The little monsters, who were so shocked they forgot to blink, looked at Xiao Jiu and the others, then at the calm Qian Chuan Fu Yu and the others, and silently joined the group of those who ignored them.

Although the discussion process was somewhat difficult to describe, things were eventually settled.

After trying to break it down nearly a hundred times, everyone felt relieved.

After all, even if something strange or unusual is broken down, it can just be handed over to Taotie.

The decomposition products are completely unpredictable.

Sometimes it's a plant seed, sometimes it's an ordinary stone, and even more outrageous, it can decompose into huge insect carcasses still flowing with strangely colored blood.

The insect was clearly not quite dead yet; its mutilated limbs were still twitching, causing the cut flesh to throb.

The system, realizing that everyone hadn't eaten meat in years, turned and said, "You guys—"

Everyone shook their heads frantically: "No, no, no, we don't need to!"

system:"......"

It hasn't said anything yet.

System: "Okay."

However, these huge insect carcasses could be used as fertilizer, allowing them to successfully harvest all the level 8 flowers they had planted earlier—the jade hosta flowers.

With a massive amount of points in hand, everyone enjoyed a long vacation.

At first, the little monsters were a little uneasy, but soon, every afternoon, they would peacefully sunbathe their bellies in various places.

Because the food source for these mutated flowers cannot be resolved for the time being, the final upgrade of the farmland that the system had previously envisioned must be put on hold for the time being.

There's no other way; the alienated flowers are their main source of points income.

Upgrading the farmland to level 9 without resolving the underlying issues would not benefit them.

The system, hiding behind the mountain, was extremely worried: "What should I do...? Should I try burning points to open a passage?"

Forcibly opening a passage is not difficult; the difficulty lies in connecting that passage to other dimensions.

This spacetime tunnel is like a soft tentacle; when it has no target, it can only swing back and forth in the vast universe, and the energy consumed with each movement is a terrifying number.

Therefore, this method of the system is entirely a gamble.

Moreover, the probability of losing the bet is over 99%.

The system kept sighing, while the Suanni was so annoyed that its ears twitched repeatedly.

After the system sighed again, the Suanni, perched on a small elf tree, said speechlessly, "Alright, stop howling."

They had been together for over ten years, and the system knew what Suanni was up to just by looking at him.

It stood up, looked up at the tree: "What are you planning to do?"

The Suanni flicked its tail and lazily uttered a few words.

"You'll find out soon enough."

The system did not respond.

The system wasn't sure if it was just its imagination, but it felt like the Suanni's voice sounded... as if it were wrapped in something.

— Cold and aloof.
