Xu Xingchen, a big shot in interstellar scientific research, was thrown to another star system after an experiment went wrong.
Looking at the endless snow, Xu Xingchen's heart felt utterl...
"Ding—Four-leaf clover harvest +3, nutrient solution storage +2, local specialty +1."
"Ding—your traveling frog is on the road again."
“Quack—”
A crisp prompt sound rang out, and the dazed Xu Xingchen suddenly opened his eyes.
A round, red bird's egg nestled in her belly, rising and falling with her breathing.
She carefully put the bird's eggs aside and called softly, "Mundun'er?"
The simply furnished house was still quiet, without a sound.
It looks like her frog baby is out traveling again.
Xu Xingchen rubbed his aching forehead, looked out the window at the dilapidated mountain village covered in snow, and sighed.
She was originally a researcher on the Kokodo interstellar planet. It was just a "small" accident in the genetic engineering project that caused the entire institute to be covered in crazy buckwheat! The icy director actually sent her to this godforsaken planet to do a mission. How stingy!
How can she develop this shabby place so that everyone on this planet can eat meat?
Xu Xingchen's mind moved, and he summoned the optical computer interface in his sea of consciousness.
Fortunately, when she came here a month ago, she found a small game called "Travel Frog" on the computer. As long as she prepared a lunch box props for the frog baby, he would go out to travel and bring her some novel gadgets from various planets.
[Vermilion Bird Eggs, Grade A, cannot be hatched. Eating them can relieve a wide range of ailments.]
Xu Xingchen's eyes flashed, and he only caught one key piece of information.
Edible!
A large photo popped up. Her little baby, wearing a frog onesie, was sitting adorably in the arms of a kind-looking fairy, happily eating peaches that were several times bigger than his face.
The system also thoughtfully popped up a line of small words: Your traveling frog is attending the Queen Mother's Peach Banquet.
The little guy, Mundun'er, seemed to be enjoying his meal.
Xu Xingchen rubbed her shriveled belly. She was now a young widow whose husband's life or death was unknown. She had already eaten up most of the remaining food in the house, and she was left with only tree bark to eat!
"Hey, hey, little egg, since you can't hatch anyway, just fill my stomach!"
She added some water to the small bathtub in the corner and walked into the kitchen with the Vermillion Bird eggs.
Just as I struggled to fetch some water, a sharp scream was heard.
"Damn it! Who stole our chickens?"
Xu Xingchen's eyebrows twitched and he curled his lips helplessly.
Who is going to mess with that shrew Aunt Wang again?
Just as I was about to pretend not to hear, Aunt Wang pushed the door open without any courtesy and walked straight in.
"Widow Xu, have you seen the chicken my family bought from the market a few days ago?"
Xu Xingchen frowned slightly and shook his head patiently: "No."
Aunt Wang spat, "I don't know which son of a bitch stole our newly bought chicken. If I find him, I'll skin him alive!"
She was about to turn around and leave, but she caught a glimpse of the scarlet Vermillion Bird egg in Xu Xingchen's hand.
This young widow makes money by doing needlework, where does she get the eggs?
Aunt Wang rolled her eyes and sneered.
It must have been given by some wild man! She wouldn't dare to say it out loud!
Thinking of this, Aunt Wang frowned and shouted, "Well, it turned out that it was you, a little bitch, who stole it!"
Xu Xingchen was baffled. "I haven't left the house all day, how could I have stolen your chicken?"
"You're still quibbling! Isn't this the evidence?"
Xu Xingchen sneered: "Any chicken can lay this egg. Don't just say it's yours without any evidence!"
Aunt Wang was used to making trouble in the village, so she didn't care about anything and just grabbed her wrist and dragged her out of the kitchen.
Xu Xingchen was a scientific researcher, so naturally he could not break free from this strong-armed village woman, and his wrist was pulled so hard that it hurt.
Hearing the noise, the nearby villagers gathered around.
"Aunt Wang, what are you doing? The young lady from the Xu family has had her wrists red from being pulled by you!"
Aunt Wang glared at the man and said, "This little bitch stole my chicken! I'm going to ask the village chief to settle the matter!"
Xu Xingchen couldn't stand such unreasonable people, and his voice suddenly became cold: "You said I stole your chicken, then tell me, where did you buy your chicken? Is it male or female?"
Aunt Wang stiffened her neck and said, "Of course it's a hen! I bought it at the market in the next village a few days ago! You can go and ask!"
"The next village?"
Xu Xingchen's eyes curved. "If I remember correctly, the chickens sold in the market next door are all newly feathered chicks. How come they can lay eggs so quickly?"
Seeing the villagers whispering, Aunt Wang became anxious and quickly said, "I've been feeding it cornmeal mixed with cabbage these past few days, so it's growing fast!"
Xu Xingchen laughed out loud without hesitation: "Now that the mountains are covered in snow and people have no food to eat, my aunt's family actually has some food left to feed the chickens!"
A burst of laughter broke out among the villagers.
"You little widow, I see you just don't want to return my chicken!"
Aunt Wang was a rough person. As she spoke, she rushed forward and tried to grab Xu Xingchen's hair.
Xu Xingchen was not a pushover either. He didn't care whether she was an old woman or a child. He grabbed her clothes and threw her over his shoulder. With a "bang", Aunt Wang was thrown to the ground.
Aunt Wang groaned in pain for a long time, but couldn't think of a word to refute, so she simply sat down on the ground and started throwing a tantrum.
"Ouch! You little widow are bullying an old woman!"
One young man couldn't stand it any longer and said angrily, "You woman, you throw a tantrum when you can't win an argument. Aren't you afraid of bringing shame to your husband?"
Aunt Wang's eyes were fixed on the man fiercely: "You are so eager to speak up for her, did you sneak into her house in the middle of the night?"
The man choked and stepped aside awkwardly.
After all, in this feudal little village, having sex with a widow would result in being thrown into a pig cage!
Xu Xingchen crossed his arms and looked impatiently at the old woman who was acting like a scoundrel on the ground. Just as he was about to drive her away with a cold voice, the light brain in his sea of consciousness started to ring again.
"Ding—your traveling frog, Mundun'er, has brought you some local specialties~"
Xu Xingchen subconsciously clicked, and the system backpack immediately popped out.
In addition to a large peach with a bite mark on it, there were also two bottles of nutrient solution and three four-leaf clovers.
The peaches don’t have any special effects, but the nutrient solution... is very different.
[Nutrient (complex), Grade A, can be used to promote body healing and plant growth.]
Xu Xingchen curled her lips, her son was really great!
She glanced coldly at the woman lying on the ground, and said with a smile: "If you have evidence, go to the village chief and sue me. If you don't..."
Her amber eyes darkened, and a hint of disdain emanated from her lips: "Then you should know that although I am a widow, I am not someone who can be easily bullied."
After saying this, Xu Xingchen turned around and wanted to go back to the house.
The crowd suddenly became noisy, and a man with a sensitive figure squeezed into the crowd.
"Move aside, move aside, mother, what are you doing here?"
