Chapter 12: Turning the Soil Honestly
"Meow."
The little orange cat nodded.
It looks like its mother and siblings are fine. After all, they are evolved creatures and their physical fitness is better than that of ordinary wild cats.
Walk to the riverside.
Before Xu Xinxin had the chance to lie on the finless porpoise's back, she saw the little orange cat taking a foam box from somewhere.
The foam box is not big and floats on the surface, so the little orange cat can just stand on it.
The little orange cat jumped onto the foam float, barely managed to keep its balance, and then called out to Xu Xinxin.
"Meow."
"I'm ready."
What are you ready for?
Xu Xinxin didn't understand how it worked, but she soon figured it out.
She lay on the porpoise's back with a confused look on her face, and saw that the little orange cat was tense and staring at the river surface intently. Then, the foam box under its feet floated forward automatically.
Can mental power be used like this?!
Xu Xinxin watched the little orange cat's movements and figured out how it managed to cross the river.
Unexpectedly, although its level of mental control of objects was not very high, it was able to control the foam box to cross the river quite smoothly.
"Snap!"
Just as she praised the little orange cat, she saw a big wave coming on the river. The cat lost its balance and fell into the water.
Xu Xinxin: …
Oh no, "Finland dolphin, save the cat!"
"Meow……"
The little orange cat lay wetly on the porpoise's back, unable to help but make amends for himself.
“Meow, meow, meow, meow…”
"I crossed the river smoothly before, this time I just didn't stand firmly..."
The more the little orange cat spoke, the lower its head buried. Then, it suddenly raised its head and said a little angrily.
“Meow, meow, meow, meow!”
"I know. It must be because the wind on the river was too strong today!"
Xu Xinxin: ...Very good. When encountering problems, you don’t waste your time on yourself and learn to look for the reasons in others. This is great!
"Yes, that's it!" Xu Xinxin immediately confirmed: "So next time you want to cross the river, you must choose a day without wind, so that the annoying wind won't bother you again!"
“Meow, meow!”
"Yeah, that's it!"
Yangtze River Porpoise: ???
Eh, is that so?
It always feels like something is wrong, but it can't tell what it is.
…
After returning to site 333, Xu Xinxin went to take a look at her chickens first.
The two chickens were staying quietly in the kitchen, but they had a lot of chicken droppings, which all landed on the earthen stove.
No, she had to plow the land as soon as possible, plant the vegetables, and then build the chicken coop.
Just do it.
Xu Xinxin rolled up his sleeves, picked up a sickle, and began to clear the weeds near the house.
"Meow……"
The little orange cat followed her and helped drag the cut weeds to the side, but it was too small and fell halfway through dragging, leaving its body covered with thorns.
The weeds that Xu Xinxin had originally gathered were suddenly scattered everywhere.
Oh, "You don't need to be here anymore."
The more you help, the more trouble you make.
[Ding!]
[Dear host, you have influenced the White Tiger Orc with your love and made it understand that labor is the most glorious. Please keep up the good work until it is completely influenced.
Persuasion Mission 1: Progress: 3/100]
The sudden task reminder made Xu Xinxin forget what he was doing.
By the way, she has completed 5 tasks and has accumulated 250 system coins.
With another 50 system coins, she can receive a supernatural experience package.
Just one task left.
When she upgrades her superpowers, both the use of wood-related superpowers to grow plants and the size of the space will be improved. By then, farming will be so convenient!
Xu Xinxin became happy again and started to praise herself.
"Little orange cat, you are right. No one can do a job well at the beginning. Only by doing it more and more can you become good at it. You need to keep working hard~"
"Meow~"
…
With the help of the little orange cat, Xu Xinxin spent an hour and finally cleared out a piece of land next to it.
She took a look and saw that it was about the size of a basketball court.
The main reason is that there are too many small stones here, and she has to pick them up one by one, which takes a lot of time.
Next, loosen the soil with a hoe.
No, she is too tired and her slender waist is about to break.
Xu Xinxin held the hoe with his hands and pounded his waist. He thought about his remaining points, gritted his teeth, and started working again.
In the three years since the disaster, she has done all kinds of dirty work, such as pouring night scents for people, helping to clean up the internal organs of mutant beasts, and using animal excrement to make flower fertilizer...they were all dirty jobs that paid little money.
Even so, there are still many people vying for the job. They chose her because she is young and works very hard.
She can do all the dirty work, and she can do all the hard work too!
With the anger in her heart, Xu Xinxin finally turned over the land. Then she kept fetching water and watered the land thoroughly.
She was so tired that her waist was almost numb.
But there is still one last step missing, which is to stimulate the seeds to grow and then bury them in the soil.
For general crops, you sow seeds first and then water them, but evolution seeds are different.
Evolutionary seeds grow slowly naturally, and must first rely on wood-related abilities to stimulate their growth so that they can germinate as quickly as possible and increase the survival rate of the seeds.
Xu Xinxin only bought 30 seeds, and she planned to plant only 10 seeds today. If the results were not good, there would still be opportunities to improve later.
The country has provided training on how to use wood-based abilities to stimulate the growth of plants, so even novices who have just awakened their abilities can figure it out and try it on their own.
Xu Xinxin pinched a seed in the palm of her hand, felt the energy in her body, and then let the energy slowly gather in her palm.
The strange energy flowed in the body and merged into the seed. Visible to the naked eye, green sprouts appeared on the seed and began to slowly grow upwards.
As soon as the seed sprouted, Xu Xinxin felt tired, as if she had done ten push-ups in one breath, and she had to rest for a while before she could continue.
Xu Xinxin buried the seeds in the soil, rested for a few minutes, and continued to stimulate growth.
After repeating this process for more than half an hour, she finally planted all ten seeds.
After the seeds have been planted, we still need to build a chicken coop.
No, she was too hungry and had digested all her breakfast.
She couldn't take a break. Xu Xinxin was afraid that once she sat down, she would never be able to get up again.
She simply washed an evolved sweet potato and started eating it raw.
A bite of sweet potato meat is sweet and full of energy.
After just one bite, Xu Xinxin felt that the energy she had just consumed had been fully replenished. If she continued to eat, all the excess energy would be lost from her body.
A particular waste.
But, who cares, as long as it tastes good.
Her life is already so difficult now. Does she have to put up with such hardship on herself? She has to worry about whether even a bite of delicious food is wasteful?
The system couldn't bear to see her work so hard, so it suggested: "Host, you can actually recruit some younger brothers to help you with the work."
“Crack, crack…”
Xu Xinxin was busy chewing sweet potatoes, and then asked, "What can I use to recruit younger brothers? My head?"
