Chapter 72: Why don't you farm?
When Xu Xinxin heard this, she asked curiously, "But many animals don't only eat meat. They can also eat vegetarian food. Can't we pick some fruits to eat?"
Xia Runlin: "...This may be a bit difficult for them."
Xu Xinxin thought about it briefly and understood why Xia Runlin said that.
Three years after the disaster, in the wilderness, not only were the animals fighting for territory, but the plants were also fighting for territory.
Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary plants to grow in the wilderness without the protection of plants of evolutionary quality.
If this group of puppies want to pick fruits, they may have to fight against mutated plants or evolved plants.
It would be fine if they couldn't defeat the plants, but if they could, they would have to compete with other animals for the few fruits that could be picked.
To be honest, these dogs are very weak. Even the two dogs with wood-related abilities can only control branches to hit each other. Their attack range is short. They are no match for the fighting power of the plants that Xu Xinxin encountered at Rose's place before.
Only the big silver wolfdog might be particularly powerful, but as a single dog supporting such a large family, it is obviously under a lot of pressure.
Xu Xinxin thought of her "Wolf Tribe" mission and quickly called Xiaojiu: "Please help me check the progress of the Wolf Tribe mission."
"Okay, no problem."
Soon she received a reply from Xiaojiu, and a string of task progress reminders were brought to Xu Xinxin's mind.
[Wolf Tribe Mission 1: Please go to the Wolf Tribe City as soon as possible and quickly fill up the City Lord's favorability. Mission progress: 1/100]
[Wolf Tribe Mission 2: Please bring your contracted male to join the wolf tribe. Mission progress: 0/100]
Her wolf clan mission 1 has already made 1 point of progress, which means that this group of dogs are the "wolf clan" orcs recognized by the system.
The mission target was chosen correctly, so she could think seriously about how to improve the favorability of the big wolfdog.
Got it.
Xu Xinxin suddenly thought of something and said to the big wolfdog, "How about I teach you how to farm?"
Big wolfdog: ???
Little orange cat: ???
Xia Runlin who was standing aside: ???
This group of dogs, let them farm?
Xia Runli looked at Xu Xinxin, wondering how she came up with this idea. It was... a bit surprising.
Xu Xinxin also came up with the idea on impulse, but when she thought of the two puppies with wood-related abilities, she felt that it was more feasible and said, "We can just plant some plants that are easy to take care of. Even if the plants suddenly mutate, it doesn't matter. You have so many dogs, so just clean them up in time."
This is the advantage of growing your own plants. Once you discover that a plant has mutated, you can clean it up in time to prevent it from continuing to mutate into a dangerous plant.
It is actually very simple to tell whether a plant is a mutant.
The evolved dogs here can sense the energy fluctuations of plants. I heard that the evolved plants and animals in this wilderness can do this.
Ordinary dogs cannot sense energy fluctuations, but they can pick a leaf of a plant and taste it. If it tastes particularly bitter, then it is a mutant.
Xu Xinxin expressed her thoughts. The big wolfdog didn’t quite understand, but after thinking for a moment, it nodded.
Xia Runlin next to him also said: "You can try it."
If feasible, perhaps they could use their plant cultivation techniques to establish friendly cooperative relationships with animals in the wilderness and continue to strengthen the city's security line.
“Woof…” “Woof?”
A big wild boar was quickly eaten, and the two puppies with wood-related abilities were directly pulled out by the big wolfhound.
Xu Xinxin looked at them and asked, "Do you have other animals that have awakened superpowers?"
"Woof."
The big wolf dog responded, then walked around the pack and used its claws to pull out two puppies.
"Meow~"
"This big dog is said to be extremely strong, extremely fast, and has very sharp claws. This little dog, one can spray water, and the other can make clods of earth fly."
In other words, including the big wolfdog, they have a total of 1 strength system, two wood systems, one water system and one earth system.
This is simply a farming dog chosen by God.
The strength system can be used to cultivate the land, the water system and the earth system can be used to cultivate the soil, and with the addition of the wood system, plants can be planted together. It is simply perfect.
Xu Xinxin even wanted to take them all home, but when she thought about the fact that there were so many dogs to raise here and she hadn't passed the breeder certificate exam yet, she gave up the idea.
Since we are going to teach them how to farm, we must use local materials and select plant seeds that can be found nearby.
Xu Xinxin also kindly provided some ordinary tomato seeds, which she had deliberately saved when she was making scrambled eggs with tomatoes. There were not many of them.
Xu Xinxin gave them a demonstration. He found a piece of relatively fertile soil nearby, took out tomato seeds, and said, "Look, these are the seeds of the plant."
As she spoke, she looked at Xia Runlin and said, "Please turn the soil for me."
Xia Runlin nodded.
Soon, the soil on the ground in front of me flew up, and after a while, it became very soft.
While he was operating, Xu Xinxin asked the five dogs next to him, including the one with earth-related abilities, "Have you figured it out?"
"Woof!"
This is easy. The particularly skinny dog immediately nodded and then dug the ground with its paws.
At this moment, the ground under the puppy's paws slowly "rolled".
Soon, this small piece of land became a lot more "fluffy". Although it couldn't be compared with Xia Runlin's, it was also very good.
Xu Xinxin praised it and said, "You are awesome. This is how you turn the soil. Next, let me show you how to stimulate plant growth."
As she spoke, she threw a tomato seed onto the ground, then buried the seed in the soil with her hands and used her supernatural powers to make it sprout.
Ordinary seeds are much easier to grow than evolved seeds. These dogs lack food, so growing ordinary plants is enough.
The tomato seedlings grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. Because there was no place for vines to climb, their branches hung directly to the ground, extending to both sides, and then began to bloom and bear fruit.
Because these are ordinary quality tomato seeds, if they are quickly stimulated to grow, they will at most produce ordinary quality tomatoes.
Even those tomatoes that had the potential to grow into evolved quality ended up becoming ordinary quality due to lack of time.
However, those "qualities" belong to mutant tomatoes, and even if there is not enough time for them to grow, they will not become tomatoes of ordinary quality.
Because it just rotted away.
But in the blink of an eye, red tomatoes mixed with rotten black tomatoes were hanging on the tomato vines.
