It's still a good deal, Xu Ling nodded to herself. She completely forgot that the wheat only takes a minute to mature, and the wheat harvested in a minute is enough for them to eat. It's not just a good deal, it's an extremely good deal.
Xu Ling breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't need much food and wouldn't die immediately without it, having something to eat would put her at ease. She didn't want to be on the verge of death and then have to search for something to eat.
This is good enough. If she needs it, she can just plant wheat.
However, when Xu Ling thought of wheat, she thought of the corn that had just been harvested and wondered if the corn could also be put into the bakery.
Baking is so convenient; you can make edible food without any other steps!
With this sudden inspiration, Xu Ling decided to give it a try. She put the freshly baked bread back into her system inventory and took out the freshly harvested corn to stuff into the bakery.
Unfortunately, she was too optimistic. The bakery refused without hesitation and spat out all the corn that Xu Ling had stuffed in, making a mess of corn all over the ground.
Xu Ling refused to believe it and picked up the corn again, forcing it into her mouth once more. This time, a few words even floated out from the roof of the bakery.
Please follow the bakery's rules and do not add unsuitable ingredients, as this could damage the bakery!
Well, I've been warned.
After issuing the warning, the bakery, just like before, spat out corn all over the floor.
Xu Ling gave up this time and put the corn back into the granary.
This time, Kaopu didn't say anything when he saw Xu Ling making a foolish mistake. He let her try and she would know. Kaopu wasn't impatient anymore. Only by trying can people know what they can and cannot do. Simply saying it can't be done won't make them understand.
"Alright, host, you should just stick to planting wheat or corn for now!"
That's what I thought, but I still couldn't help urging Xu Ling to start her daily tasks.
This time, Xu Ling obediently began planting without uttering a single word.
Seeing that there was nothing for her to do, Ruth called out to Xu Ling and flew back to the Tree of Life to watch over the sapling.
This was the most important thing to the little fairy.
Xu Ling resumed her emotionless work, alternating between planting corn and wheat. Perhaps she was working too hard, because she unlocked a third plot of farmland.
With the completion of the third farmland, Xu Ling earned points even faster. Earning money really does bring happiness, and as Xu Ling watched her points slowly accumulate, her mood became increasingly exhilarating.
"Host, can I discuss something with you?"
After thinking for a long time, Kaopu still spoke up, interrupting Xu Ling's momentary reverie.
"Um?"
"Could it be..." Kaopu was a little embarrassed to ask, "Could it be..."
Kaopu felt he couldn't bring himself to say what came next.
"What's wrong? Is he reliable?"
After it said "can you or can't" twice and then stopped, Xu Ling turned to look at Kaopu.
Bai Yun lowered her eyes in shame, not looking at Xu Ling. Her two small hands were clasped together, and she looked as nervous as a person.
This was Xu Ling's first impression.
Kaopu looked embarrassed, and finally closed his eyes and said what he had been holding back.
"Could I have another piece of bread?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the white clouds suddenly turned red, like the evening glow under the setting sun.
Xu Ling tilted her head, but unfortunately, Kaopu still had his beady eyes tightly closed and didn't notice her gaze at all.
Once the first sentence was uttered, the rest flowed smoothly, reliable and without any pauses, all coming out in one go.
"I want to try again and see if the bread will have any effect on me."
To my surprise, Kaopu was just tempted by that bread!
Kaopu wolfed down the food, savoring only the unimaginable deliciousness. Even now, thinking back on the taste, Kaopu still feels a little unsatisfied and wants to lick his lips.
Because it was so engrossed in its previous activity, everything else had been forgotten, so it decided to try again. Of course, it wasn't greedy; it just wanted to know if eating bread would affect its own data flow.
Xu Ling let it go in one ear and out the other, not paying much attention to the reasons given by Kaopu. She simply thought that Kaopu hadn't eaten much normal food, so he was amazed by it and wanted to try it again.
Besides, isn't it funny that Kaopu is making such an embarrassing face right now? It's Kaopu's first time doing this, after all.
Besides, it was a small matter, and Xu Ling didn't even consider refusing.
So, as soon as the reliable person finished speaking, Xu Ling agreed without hesitation: "Of course!"
"Give!"
She took the bread directly from her system inventory and tossed it to Kao-kan.
However, Xu Ling forgot that Kaopu was still embarrassed with his eyes closed, so she directly threw a piece of bread at him, causing the middle of Baiyun to cave in.
"Xu Ling!"
Kaopu roared in anger, this action really infuriated it. Fortunately, no matter how angry it was, it still held the bread that was thrown at it firmly. Only its death stare was fixed on Xu Ling. Dao's thoughts could no longer be hidden.
If looks could kill, Xu Ling would be torn to pieces right now, dead beyond any hope of survival!
Whether it was because Kaopu was still angry or not, Xu Ling didn't take his roar seriously at all. She saw that Kaopu just dented in the ground and returned to normal once the bread was taken out.
She exclaimed, "So you're solid, Reliable? I thought you were hollow!"
As we all know, clouds are formed by the condensation of water vapor in the air when it cools. Xu Ling thought that Kaopu should be the same, but she didn't expect that Kaopu would be so soft and pliable, and even bounce back.
Xu Ling completely forgot that this is not a world that values science, so everything about it is unscientific!
"Ha ha--"
Kaopu's gaze was too sharp; even though Xu Ling was easygoing, she could sense his anger. She quickly muttered to herself and changed the subject, "We've all had our share of bread; the little sapling should have some too. We can't be biased..."
She kept talking but moved quickly. Ignoring the fact that she was being watched closely, she ran to the vicinity of the Tree of Life. Xu Ling even smiled and greeted the little fairy.
"Ruth, I'll let the sapling try some bread too..."
"It should be fine, I'll break it up and sprinkle it around the saplings..."
"Do you want some more? I'll break off a piece for you too..."
A few words, barely audible, were transmitted over. Seeing Xu Ling's carefree attitude, all that could be said was a sigh.
I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing?
Stop overthinking and start savoring the bread carefully, but this time, to see if it will have any negative effects on yourself.
Taking a gentle bite and chewing slowly, just like before, the rich aroma of wheat wafted over, making Kaopu unable to resist becoming intoxicated. Fortunately, this time it remembered what it was supposed to do and quickly pulled its thoughts back from being drawn by the aroma of wheat.
Bite by bite, no matter how it tried, the reliable bread did not find any effect on itself. Its data flow was normal, without any blockage. Moreover, it found that it could convert the bread into its own energy, accelerating the processing of the data flow!
That's really, really amazing!!!
When Reliable felt overjoyed, it couldn't help but want to share it with others, and the first person it thought of was actually Xu Ling!
It looked in the direction of Xu Ling and saw her squatting next to the sapling of the Tree of Life. She broke off a small piece of bread, crushed it, and sprinkled it near the sapling. Then she broke off another small piece and threw it to the little fairy flapping its wings in the air.
The reliable takeoff motion paused, slowed down, and then it hugged its round head, wondering to itself: Why was the first person it thought of sharing with its host?!
Isn't that outrageous? Its relationship with its host doesn't seem that good, does it?
