Chapter 84 He Yingqiu saw Grandma Lin coming over, came to her senses, and closed the light curtain. Although she...
When He Yingqiu saw Grandma Lin coming, she came to her senses and closed the light curtain.
Although she thought that the light curtain should not be seen by other monsters, what if?
He Yingqiu was sure that if the information on the light curtain was true, then whether she could get better and better in the future would depend entirely on this light curtain.
"Xiao He, what happened just now?" Grandma Lin looked around and did not find any other strange aura. She looked at He Yingqiu with some concern.
He Yingqiu glanced at the other strange things, shook his head and said, "Just now I felt a strong and strange pressure, but the other party seemed to be just passing by..."
After making sure that He Yingqiu was fine, the other weirdos were ready to leave. Grandma Lin was also about to leave, but was stopped by He Yingqiu.
Grandma Lin turned around and saw He Yingqiu blinking rapidly, as if she wanted to say something to her alone.
Grandma Lin suddenly remembered the scene when He Yingqiu came back from the treatment room. She paused and said naturally, "Bring Xiaomei to my place for dinner later."
He Yingqiu often went to the Lin family for dinner, and other strange things were also known, but no one thought much about it. They just thought that Grandma Lin saw that He Yingqiu was scared, so she asked her to go to the Lin family for dinner to comfort her.
When they arrived at the Lin family, Grandma Lin arranged for the ghost at home to watch outside, and then pulled He Yingqiu into the house. He Yingqiu tried to talk about the farming game, but she couldn't say a word when she opened her mouth. This made He Yingqiu feel relieved, and then she changed her mind to see if she could say it in a different way.
"Grandma, I just encountered a big weirdo, the other party..."
After He Yingqiu finished speaking, she knew that she couldn't gain Grandma Lin's trust by just saying this, so she looked at the mall and exchanged some ghost coins for some corn seeds.
"Grandma, look, these are the seeds of the strange plant that the big weirdo gave me." He Yingqiu flipped her hand and took out a small bag.
He Yingqiu had wanted to take it out before, but she was outside just now and didn't dare to move it. But it is safer to take it out in the Lin family.
He Yingqiu opened the bag out of curiosity. As soon as the bag was opened, the fragrance of grain wafted to her nose, making her swallow her saliva.
This seed...is too fragrant.
Grandma Lin also noticed the unusualness of the corn seeds. Even though she knew that the surroundings were arranged strangely and it was impossible for any weird people to peek, she couldn't help but look around and closed the doors and windows tightly, for fear that any breath would leak out.
"You, this matter is too important, you shouldn't say it." Grandma Lin looked at He Yingqiu with a complicated look. At the same time, she also knew why He Yingqiu was grinning before. This kind of thing was equivalent to pie in the sky, and anyone who saw it would laugh out loud.
"Grandma, I only trust you, so I came to tell you." He Yingqiu smiled, "Besides, if you really want to farm, if you want to buy seeds from the big weirdo, you also need capital. Although the capital can be accumulated slowly, farming will be much slower if you are slow for one day."
Obviously, He Yingqiu meant to cooperate with the Lin family.
Grandma Lin could see that He Yingqiu had concealed some information, such as why she could believe in that big weirdo so much, but these were not very important, at least the seed was true.
The golden corn seeds held in the palm of my hand feel light yet heavy.
"Do you know how to plant it?" asked Grandma Lin.
He Yingqiu exchanged the seeds. She still had some trust in the other sections of the farming game and nodded. If it really didn't work, she would buy those farming skills. Although it would cost more, the effect should not be bad.
After discussing the cooperation with Grandma Lin, Grandma Lin looked at He Yingqiu and couldn't help but sighed: "You still suffer a loss this way."
He Yingqiu smiled and looked at the small words below the light curtain. She was still one of the first batch of bound monsters. Besides her, there must be other monsters, and even the next batch of monsters. Naturally, she couldn't start slowly.
With the help of the Lin family, He Yingqiu quickly found a suitable place to start farming.
He Yingqiu also realized the magic of farming skills. For example, before using this skill, a piece of land was plowed out, but the soil did not look very good. However, after using the farming skill, the land became moist and fertile visibly to the naked eye.
However, farming requires buying skills and renting farm tools, and you have to be quick, otherwise you won’t be able to rent farm tools. Obviously, other farming game players are also renting farm tools.
As for sowing, it is also a very magical ability. She has never planted crops, but she knows that seed germination is a difficult hurdle. She tried direct sowing, but the effect was not good.
However, the seeds that were planted using the sowing and watering method germinated the next day.
Looking at the corn seeds that had already sprouted, and then looking at the seeds buried in the ground without any movement, He Yingqiu silently dug out the seeds, then replanted and watered them.
Grandma Lin was worried that He Yingqiu would not be able to grow the corn well, but she found that as time went by, the corn seeds sprouted and gradually grew taller, and it was obvious that they were growing very well.
If she hadn't eaten some corn leaves and was sure that there was strange energy in the leaves, Grandma Lin would have thought that this was an ordinary crop, not a strange plant.
In fact, this growth rate is still much slower than that on the farm, but in Grandma Lin's eyes, the speed cannot be faster.
"It should be ready to eat in a few days." He Yingqiu looked at the tall corn stalks in front of her, full of anticipation.
He Yingqiu felt even more excited than when she went to the exchange machine to exchange for strange food. Although it was hard work to exchange it at the exchange machine, farming seemed particularly different.
Watching the seeds grow, gradually becoming larger, and the fruits about to mature, this constant sense of anticipation made her feel a peace that she had not felt for a long time.
In the days when the fruits were about to ripen, He Yingqiu slept directly in the fields. Even though the Lin family had arranged for Guiyi to help watch over the fields, she was still worried. Fortunately, her hard work paid off, and soon the corn was ripe.
He Yingqiu was a little hesitant about whether to use the ability during harvesting, but after thinking about the effect of the ability, he still bought the harvesting ability and then harvested the entire corn field.
The Lin family was all on high alert, looking at the cornfield with some shock. In fact, they could feel the difference of the corn when they were guarding here before, but the smell was not so strong when it was grown on corn stalks. But now, the fragrance emitted by the corn after harvesting was too tempting.
If they didn't remember that the Lin family also had a share of the corn, some of the weird members of the Lin family would probably have lost control of themselves.
Of course, He Yingqiu also played a part by harvesting and storing the corn as soon as it was harvested.
After harvesting all the corn, He Yingqiu looked at the corn that was still unripe. Knowing that it would take three days to pick, she did not touch it. She looked at the other vigilant monsters and said, "You have all worked hard to help me watch the fields and catch various animals that want to steal the corn. Today, the corn is harvested, and I will treat everyone to a corn meal."
Even though they already knew that they had a salary of corn, when they heard that He Yingqiu was going to treat them, the people present couldn't help but cheer.
After returning to the Lin family, He Yingqiu took out the corn that belonged to the Lin family according to the previous agreement.
Although she knew that cooperating with the Lin family would benefit her, she was still nervous. But after a month of planting, He Yingqiu was glad that she was cooperating with the Lin family, otherwise farming would not be so easy.
Not only did she not have enough ghost coins, she might not even be able to find the right person to help look after the fields.
Farming every day has drained all of her energy. After all, although the ability is useful, it consumes a certain amount of energy. After doing some things, she has no energy to do anything else.
After distributing the corn, He Yingqiu took out some more corn from her share according to a strange quantity, and Grandma Lin helped take the corn to the kitchen.
Considering the need to share the corns equally, Grandma Lin directly beat the corns into corn juice. The corn cobs in the middle were not wasted and were put aside as a side dish. Although the taste was not as good as corn kernels, it also smelled sweet.
A portion of corn juice and a portion of corn cobs were delivered to the guarding monsters. Every monster's eyes lit up when they smelled the aroma of the corn juice.
Some of the monsters chose to drink it directly with an expression of enjoyment on their faces, while some of the monsters smelled the aroma of the corn juice but were reluctant to drink it immediately and wanted to save it for the monsters at home.
"If you want others to drink it, be careful to keep it away and don't let other monsters find it." Grandma Lin also saw what they were thinking, and did not stop them, but just gave them a reminder.
After all, these monsters only live in the alleys, and taking corn juice out is not very dangerous. If it were somewhere else, she wouldn't dare to say this.
Some of the people who had relatives at home immediately carefully protected their corn juice and corn cobs and left the Lin family.
As for the remaining strange things, some people chose to drink them directly at Lin's house, while some were reluctant to eat them all in one go and chose to take them home and savor them slowly.
He Yingqiu did not continue to stay in the Lin family, but returned to her own home.
He Xiaomei was reading a book. When she saw her mother coming back, she happily dropped the book and rushed over.
"Mom, you're back!" He Xiaomei called affectionately.
He Yingqiu hugged her daughter tightly. She noticed that her daughter was not as close to her as before and knew that she missed her.
In fact, she also missed her daughter. In order to grow corn well, she stayed in the fields all the time and could only come back at night at most.
Compared with the time she spent with her daughter 24 hours a day before, this time was much shorter, not to mention that she had been staying in the fields for several days in a row to look after the corn, which made her even more neglectful of her daughter.
He Yingqiu originally thought that her daughter had enough friends to play with, and she could go to the Lin family for meals, or even rest and sleep there, so it should be a big deal. But when she saw her daughter clinging to her like this, she felt a little distressed.
Otherwise, I can take my daughter with me there later. There are many weird guards around, so it’s not that dangerous.
"Do you want to go to the fields with mom tomorrow?" He Yingqiu asked.
"Can I go?" He Xiaomei looked expectant, but also a little nervous. "Will it be too much trouble?"
"It's okay, you can go. You can come with me and plant some corn." He Yingqiu looked at the corn she brought back. She couldn't let He Xiaomei plant the seeds she bought in the farming game. After all, those seeds were too rare and she couldn't afford to waste them.
It would be okay to just take some corn seeds from these ripe corns and plant them for my daughter.
It's also a good opportunity for my daughter to learn how to farm.
In the past, no monster would learn how to farm, not only because the crops they grew might be snatched away by powerful monsters, but also because there were no suitable seeds.
But now it’s different. He Yingqiu vaguely feels that learning to farm might be the most important skill in the future.
He Yingqiu now not only wants her daughter to grow second-generation corn, but she also plans to grow one herself, so as to practice the farming skills she learned from her abilities.
Although the abilities in the farming game are particularly useful, He Yingqiu did not forget one thing: she can only rent this ability and cannot obtain it. If she does not learn it herself, if one day this ability can no longer be rented, it will be too late to learn it then.
When He Xiaomei heard that she was going to plant corn with her mother, she was extremely happy. In fact, she didn't quite understand what planting corn meant, but being able to stay with her mother made her the happiest.
Seeing He Xiaomei so happy, He Yingqiu also smiled, carried her to the kitchen, took out two corns, processed them simply, and made a portion of corn juice and a portion of corn pancakes. Because the portion was a little small, He Yingqiu took out some of the strange food that she had stored before.
She bought this from the exchange machine. It had some other food mixed in with it. Although it didn't taste as good as pure weird food, it was more durable.
The mother and daughter suppressed their cravings, brought the meal to the dining table, and began to eat impatiently.
Seeing He Xiaomei's cheeks puffed up and her eyes sparkling from eating so much, she seemed to be completely captivated by the corn.
Seeing He Xiaomei's hand reaching into the plate of corn tortillas while the carrot pancakes on the side remained untouched, He Yingqiu realized that her daughter didn't eat everything, but she didn't have any choice before, so she didn't show it.
Now that she has a choice, He Xiaomei shows her true preferences.
"Mom, is this the corn you planted?" He Xiaomei asked after finally swallowing a mouthful of sweet corn pancake.
He Yingqiu nodded and wiped the residue from the corner of her mouth.
He Xiaomei noticed that he licked away all the residue with his tongue, and his eyes showed some admiration.
"Mom is so amazing!" When He Xiaomei ate the corn, she realized that this was a strange food that they could only buy at the grocery store after working hard for a while, but now, He Yingqiu could actually grow it. How could she not admire her?
"When the time comes, you should plant corn well and learn more, then you will be able to grow it too." He Yingqiu couldn't help but rubbed her daughter's head.
The next day, He Yingqiu took her daughter to the Lin family. After all, she was going to take her daughter to the fields, so naturally she had to talk to the Lin family.
As soon as she arrived at the Lin family, He Yingqiu discovered that not only did she bring her daughter with her, but some of the strange people who were previously responsible for guarding the farmland also brought their children with them, and even the children of the Lin family were there.
After talking to Grandma Lin, He Yingqiu realized that they also wanted to grow corn with their children.
After all, they did get their share of the reward - corn.
Unless you are completely short-sighted and only want to eat something weird, you will think about trying to grow it.
If there was no successful example of He Yingqiu, they might have hesitated again. After all, if the planting failed, it would be better to eat the corn. However, the example of He Yingqiu who harvested so much corn with just some seeds really made Guiyi jealous and made them willing to take the risk.
Of course, the most important thing is that they think He Yingqiu's skill in growing corn is very superb. While He Yingqiu is still growing corn, they can follow him and grow it together. Maybe they can even ask him for advice. It is always better than just growing it randomly like mindless flies.
And when they saw that He Yingqiu wanted her daughter to grow corn as well, and that the seeds were collected from the harvested corn, these weird people were overjoyed.
If He Yingqiu got the seeds from the big weirdo, these seeds would obviously be different. After all, they matured too quickly, and they were also worried that they would not be suitable. But now they are using the same seeds, so it will be easier to learn.
"Sister He, Xiaomei is also going to start growing corn. It will definitely work. This is my home..."
"Sister He, please accept this gift. It's not something valuable..."
"Sister He..."
Looking at the other strange and flattering words and gifts that were offered, He Yingqiu tried her best but failed to reject them all.
She wanted to say that she was not that good at growing corn and it was all thanks to the ability given by the big weirdo, but when she saw her daughter's admiring eyes, He Yingqiu was speechless.
Moreover, she suspected that even if she told the truth, she would not believe other weird things.
After all, she had grown corn so well before, without any failure. If she said now that she was not very good at it, she would think she was lying if she didn't know the truth.
Forget it, just think of it as a push on myself. Otherwise, even if you have the ability to back you up, you won’t always work that hard.
…
Among the testers selected by the weird world consciousness, there are those like He Yingqiu who perfectly implemented the original intention of the farming game, and of course there are also some who took other approaches.
For example, after buying seeds, instead of planting them, they eat them, or package the seeds as some special weird plant seeds and sell them to other weird people.
Although the consciousness of the strange world has been screened, there are always some strange things that do not go according to common sense.
Faced with such weirdness, the weird world consciousness first confirmed the weird situation, and then made sure that there was no special situation, and then directly cancelled the opponent's game qualification and replaced it with another weirdness.
After all, the binding qualification of the farming game is very precious, and their actions can be said to have led to the second batch of weirdness to a certain extent.
Because Ying Yuanxing took into account that the crops that each monster might grow are different, if they were to trade in reality, it would be very difficult and it would not be easy for them to trust each other, so he simply created a trading system in the farming game.
However, there are not many weird things that can be bound to farming games now, so you can do it slowly and there is no need to rush.
Ying Yuanxing did this mainly to change some of the current situations in the strange world.
For example, some large-scale weird food growers and some express delivery companies rely on their monopoly to squeeze ordinary weird people. Even if some weird people know that there may be cheaper weird food in other places, they dare not buy it.
After all, it is quite dangerous to go out, and if you ask for a courier, there is no way to say whether the goods will be embezzled, and the cost is also very high.
Seeing Ying Yuanxing working so hard for the farming game, the strange world consciousness was extremely moved, and then increased its teaching efforts on Xuanying.
After all, there was nothing else he could do on the farm, so he could only teach Xuanying, which was considered as his contribution.
Ying Yuanxing processed the farming game information he had collected, set a few weirdnesses as key focus objects, and then noticed Xuanying who was being taught.
If Xuanying's swallowing before was like a whale swallowing, and one could feel the power of his ability as soon as he swallowed, then now, Xuanying's swallowing was like an invisible and colorless black hole.
All the matter that passed by him was devoured by him, and it seemed as if these things suddenly disappeared. It looked ordinary, but it was actually very terrifying.
…
It is impossible to hide the emergence of new things from people.
The grocery store on Yingyuanxing is okay. Although it sells a lot of strange foods, every strange creature that comes to the grocery store eats the strange food, so the impact range has always been within a certain range, and it is not easy to be discovered by some large strange plant growers.
But farming games are different. You can eat some of the strange food you have worked so hard to grow, recycle some of it and sell it to Ying Yuanxing, and sell some of it.
There are always some monsters that are in urgent need of monster coins, and when they are sold to other monsters, the price will naturally be high.
One or two people selling like this wouldn't cause much noise, but if too many people sell it, they will naturally attract the attention of the weirdos.
Inside Hongxing Supermarket.
A tall and strange man picked up a bag of bone rice, looked at the price, took a breath, threw the bone rice away, and shouted: "Your bone rice is too expensive, there is not much strange energy, but the price is sky-high."
The clerk came over, suspecting that he was going to cause trouble, and saw this weirdo take out a small bag of golden weird food and said, "I bought this outside, it's only 2,000 weird coins a bag, much cheaper than your bone rice, and it has more weird energy."
Although there were not many monsters in Hongxing Supermarket, the loud and weird voice still attracted other monsters to look over, and their eyes unconsciously fell on the corn.
The fragrance is refreshing and rich, and most importantly, there don't seem to be many impurities in this corn, at least much less than bone rice.
And the price also made Guiyi very excited. It was only two thousand yuan per bag, while bone rice was five thousand Gui coins per bag. Although they were not short of money, they did not want to be taken advantage of.
As Gao Daguiyi was speaking, a small hole appeared in the corn bag and some corn kernels were thrown out. The people around him all caught the fallen corn kernels and put them directly into their mouths to taste them.
After tasting it, some of the weird people who were holding the bone rice changed their expressions and put the rice down immediately. Some of them even cleared out all the weird food they were going to buy.
The clerk sensed something was wrong. The tall and strange man didn't seem to be arguing just because of the high price, but rather came to cause trouble.
The clerk looked at another clerk who was walking over and motioned to him to call the manager over, while preparing to tangle with Gao Daguiyi. He could see that the store's turnover would definitely be much less because of Gao Daguiyi's disturbance.
If this incident gets out, it may even affect the store's future sales, and as a clerk, he will definitely have to take responsibility.
But if he could trap the tall and strange creature and get the source of the corn food, it might be considered a credit.
But before the manager arrived, the tall and strange man seemed to sense something was wrong. He broke free from the clerk's restraints and left quickly, leaving only some corn kernels at the scene.
The manager hurried over, checked the remaining corn kernels, and his face darkened as he listened to the clerk's report.
"Manager? Should we go look for..." the clerk asked.
"Do you think he is the grower or buyer of this corn?" The manager looked at him.
The clerk was a little confused, but nodded. In his opinion, the reason why Gao Daguiyi brought corn here might be to steal business from Hongxing Supermarket.
The manager slapped the clerk's head so hard that it was sunken. The manager sneered and said, "Go check what's going on in other supermarkets."
The manager was sure that the other party was definitely not the grower or the buyer, but someone else who discovered the corn. But perhaps they ran into trouble with the other party, or found that the other party's situation was unusual, so they reported the matter to Hongxing Supermarket.
It's very simple. When such overly conspicuous weird food appeared on the market, Hongxing Supermarket should have been the first to discover it. After all, their information network is stronger than other weird foods.
It doesn't mean that the news can be confirmed immediately, but you have to hear some rumors and then investigate. This is the procedure for Hongxing Supermarket to discover new strange foods, but now this corn has appeared, and they had no news about it before. This is obviously not normal. Maybe other strange things have joined forces to conceal the news.
