Chapter 285 Wood Fairy
Manbao squatted at the very edge and was responsible for receiving the mushrooms handed over by Zhou Silang. Because he would accumulate enough mushrooms before handing them out, Manbao was inevitably bored.
She just stared at the grass and soil on the ground. As she looked, she couldn't help but glance at her fourth brother.
Zhou Silang had his back to her, so Manbao simply scooped up a handful of mud and stuffed it into the system. Keke also cooperated tacitly, and the system received whatever Manbao dug up.
The system space was instantly filled with lumps of separated mud.
Zhou Silang picked all the straw mushrooms in the innermost part, and without Manbao taking any of them, he just carried them in his pocket and walked out.
I put it carefully in the backpack myself.
Today had started extremely smoothly, and Zhou Silang was very happy. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go and continue looking."
Manbao also followed ambitiously, and Keke scanned diligently.
As for simply going up the mountain, Manbao had never been to such a far mountain before, because she was young and had no reason to go there, so she could only wander around the mountains near the village entrance.
The mountains are mostly covered with pine trees, and the environment is somewhat different from the mountains near the village entrance, so there are always some plants that slip through the net and are not collected by Manbao.
Some of them have samples in the encyclopedia, which means they will not become extinct in the future; some of them have already become extinct, but more of them are plants that will exist in the future that are different from the present ones, either as variants or branches.
The conditions for the encyclopedia to assess points are very complex. Scarcity is one factor, its function is one factor, and its importance to the future development of biotechnology is even more important.
Another point is the viewing experience.
For example, some of the wild flowers that Manbao was initially keen on collecting were extinct wild flowers. They did not have any special functions or biological value, but they received a lot of points after being included because they had considerable ornamental value.
Moreover, that kind of plant can also bring Manbao a steady stream of click points.
As long as someone clicks on it, she can earn points.
At the beginning, Manbao didn't think much of the points because they were so few. She might only get a few points for every hundred clicks. But as more and more plants were included, it became a considerable income.
Manbao had discovered a long time ago that even if she didn't enter any plants for a long time, she would still earn points every day, all of which came from clicks.
Manbao paid special attention to this and found that flowers are the most popular plants, such as wisteria and azaleas that she included;
The second is plants with medicinal value, such as Ligustrum lucidum and Chinese yam, which she has included.
Even the various types of mushrooms have good click volumes.
But what surprised Manbao the most was that the number of clicks on poisonous mushrooms has also been growing rapidly recently, even surpassing the number of clicks on flowers at one point.
So Manbao is very keen on finding poisonous mushrooms that she has not collected.
Unfortunately not.
After digging up two blades of grass and a vine, Manbao straightened up sadly. It would be fine if he couldn't find any beautiful wild flowers, but why couldn't he find even a single medicinal herb?
If there are no medicinal herbs, at least we can have something poisonous, right?
Manbao thinks that the reason why poisonous mushrooms are popular is definitely not because of the word "mushroom", but because of their poison.
Because the clicks on the other mushrooms she included are very common.
Zhou Silang also straightened up sadly and handed a vine he had separated to Manbao. In order to make it easier for her to take it, he cruelly pinched off all the vines on it, leaving only a piece of vine with some roots for her.
He couldn't understand, "Can this thing be sold?"
Manbao shook his head.
"Then why do you have to dig them?" Zhou Silang has been curious for a long time. "Tell me about you. You have liked to pull flowers and grass since you were a child. You dig dogtail grass, you pull cauliflower, and you don't let go of the wild flowers and grasses on the mountain."
Manbao thought for a moment and said, "Because I like flowers and plants?"
This was not the first time Manbao had given this reason, but Zhou Silang had never listened to it so seriously.
He thought about it carefully and said, "No, maybe you have a connection with these flowers and plants. By the way, are you of the wood element? It must be so. I'll take you to the Taoist temple to calculate it later. I tell you, you can find Ligustrum lucidum, Chinese yam, and Poria cocos. Maybe you really are a wood spirit, or even a wood fairy in your previous life."
Manbao was extremely surprised. "There are also wood fairies? I've only heard of flower fairies."
"Since there are fairies in flowers, there must be fairies in trees as well. This flower fairy only cares about flowers, but flowers also belong to the wood family. Wood fairies are definitely more powerful than flower fairies."
"But I think Flower Fairy sounds better."
"What's the point of having nice names? You need to be capable. Take our father and uncle's names, for example," Zhou Silang paused here, then continued under Manbao's gaze, "Our father's name is Jin, and our uncle's name is Yin. Don't you think gold sounds better than silver?"
Manbao nodded hesitantly. She felt that it was the same thing, it was all about money.
Zhou Silang said, "Right, you think so too, right? But my uncle is much more powerful than our father, so a nice name is useless, you have to be powerful."
Koko tried to find a joking look on his face, but after a while she found that he seemed to be serious.
"...Host, are you serious too?"
Who knew that Manbao would ask it in return, "Koko, was I really a wood fairy in my previous life, and that's why I'm so smart?"
Koko: ...No, even if you are a fairy, you can't be the Wood Fairy, because these things you discovered were actually scanned by me!
But faced with a child less than seven years old, Koko could only remain silent.
Manbao didn't hear Koko's answer, so he took it as a tacit agreement and said happily, "Fourth brother, I think you are right."
She waved her hand and strode forward, "Let's go and continue looking for Fuling."
She didn't give the plant in her hand to Koko because there was no chance.
After many trainings by Koko, Manbao knows that even when facing his parents, he has to avoid them when collecting or taking things.
The two of them walked around the mountainside and were not allowed to go up the mountain. After walking for a long time, just when Zhou Silang was hesitating whether to go home first, Manbao stopped.
Then he saw Manbao peeking into a clump of thorny brambles. Three relatively sturdy pine trees formed a circle with many thorny shrubs growing in it. Zhou Silang would definitely not look into the circle to find something.
Manbao squatted there and looked for a long time, and finally pointed inside and said, "Fourth brother, there is Poria cocos in it."
Zhou Silang stared at it for a long time and asked, "Is it true? Why didn't I see it?"
"I've already told you that my eyesight is better than yours."
Zhou Silang thought about it for a moment and felt that it was right, so he put down his backpack, picked up his hoe and said, "I'll hoe away some of these annoying bushes first. Please make way for me."
Manbao went under a pine tree nearby. Feeling his legs were a little tired, he simply sat down to rest.
