Kaopu finally breathed a sigh of relief; the crisis was finally over!
It then explained the rules of the mission to Xu Ling in detail.
"This task is actually quite simple. You don't need to do anything yourself. Just wait for someone to come to you. If they pray for you, then you should pray for them. If not, then it has nothing to do with you."
"However," the reliable man paused, then added, "you can't slack off. This task is a passive one, but you still need to actively seek it out."
"Looking for what?" Xu Ling asked, raising an eyebrow.
She spoke haltingly, and I didn't quite understand.
"That fits the mission's objective!" Reliable thought for a moment and added, "Those who desire racial expansion."
Xu Ling: ? ? ?
Xu Ling couldn't understand why anyone would want to have more children in this day and age.
Don't you know the benefits of family planning?
Are you sure you have such a goal?
Xu Ling was very skeptical, feeling that this mission was hellish.
Kaopu rolled his eyes at her: "Do you think this is your past life, or the life before that? The population is exploding, and in order to prevent the population explosion, we have adopted family planning to avoid depleting the Earth's resources."
"In this world, even a few kittens can go hungry and cold, and easily die of hunger or disease. If it were just about food, clothing, and daily necessities, they could still find a way to survive, but this is a dog-eat-dog world where life is as fragile as grass. Sometimes you don't even know how you died, and danger is everywhere."
Some species have become extinct, but just like the ecological balance in your previous world, even the extinction of the smallest species will have an impact on the world.
The people here always believed their hardship stemmed from being abandoned by the gods. Little did they know the far greater impact of their race's extinction!
"etc!"
Xu Ling couldn't help but interrupt it, saying that it had said so much but was just going around in circles and hadn't gotten to the point!
"So, where did the target come from?!"
Xu Ling was surprised that the reliable program had said so much, and she didn't understand a single thing, leaving her feeling frustrated.
"Is it really that hard to understand?" It seems that it still needs to learn to speak frankly with Xu Ling. "Can't you tell? There are these kinds of targets everywhere here!"
"You can target anyone you grab!"
Kaopu couldn't help but look at Xu Ling with disdain.
Xu Ling felt a throbbing pain in her forehead. She gently rubbed her forehead with her right hand and closed her eyes to hide her impatience: "Look at where we are. This is a barren land. You better grab a target for me!"
She really didn't know where the reliability came from; she felt she shouldn't have trusted it so easily in the first place!
The reliable solution suddenly stalled.
It has forgotten what it was like when they were penniless!
"Look, look at this sapling of the Tree of Life, it's quite useful!"
The reliable one immediately changed the subject. Upon observation, it was also somewhat shocked. It hadn't expected that in less than half a day, the grass had spread so widely. Although the distant land hadn't yet sprouted any sparse grass, the soil quality looked much better than before.
"Let me see if there are any missions!"
While speaking, he opened the data screen.
The entire interface was exactly the same as the games Xu Ling used to play. At this moment, a task popped up on the left, showing that it was pending completion.
Start your farm now and own your first plot of land!
Settle down a plot of farmland (to be completed)
System points: 1
"Host, you can do this task now!"
Seeing that there really was a mission, Kaopu exclaimed in surprise, "I thought it would take several days to complete given the soil quality, but I didn't expect the mission to appear so quickly. SS-level treasures are indeed powerful!"
Xu Ling fell silent as she looked at the task of resettling the farmland.
She imagined farming as requiring her to cultivate the land herself. In reality, farming in a simulation game is as simple as placing the item—just a tap of your finger!
Although she was a deity with magical powers and could cultivate the land quickly, I never expected it to be this simple.
Xu Ling remained motionless. Kaopu wanted to urge her, but then he saw her place her hand on the screen, click to open the farming feature, drag out a farmland, and then stop again just as she was about to continue.
"Is this a good place to put this farmland?"
Xu Ling hesitated. The soil around the Tree of Life sapling was currently at its best, and logically it should be placed near the sapling. However, she thought about what would happen if farmland were eventually spread around the sapling…
It's ugly no matter how you look at it.
It's reliable and makes sense. Another reason is that as the Tree of Life grows, its root system will spread in all directions. If farmland is placed around it, it might affect the crops.
"I have a question: Can the farmland be taken back after resettlement?"
Xu Ling suddenly remembered the game's settings. If this was exactly the same as the game, then setting up farmland wouldn't be a problem.
"It should be okay, right?" Kaopu was a little unsure. "Should we give it a try?"
"Then should I put it further away first?"
Xu Ling discussed it with Kaopu, and seeing that it didn't object, she placed the farmland ten meters away from the saplings.
This location is neither too close nor too far; it's on the edge of the saplings' influence area, and the soil has just begun to recover.
Xu Ling pointed her finger, and with a "snap," the one-meter square area looked as if it had been suddenly plowed, appearing extremely smooth.
"Do you think you can get it back?"
Xu Ling pressed down on the drag bar again, only to find that it couldn't be moved at all: "It seems like it's not going to work."
Although I was a little discouraged, at least I didn't choose a location that was too close, so the impact wasn't too great.
Xu Ling looked at the screen again and found that the task had been completed and she had earned one point.
The following will appear one after another:
Mission accomplished!
Congratulations on unlocking agricultural products!
With farmland, of course you should enjoy the joy of a bountiful harvest!
Wheat planting (to be completed)
System points: 1
Since there was nothing else to do, Xu Ling continued to perform the tasks that had appeared.
It's basically foolproof; you only need to do one thing.
Open the crop button; the first icon is wheat, which is currently lit up. There are other icons later, but they are currently grayed out. Presumably, they will light up as more crops are completed.
With a wave of her hand, Xu Ling scattered wheat seeds across the field, and the screen displayed the message: "[1 minute until maturity]".
"It's just like playing a game," Xu Ling muttered to herself. But there were advantages; at least she wasn't unfamiliar with the controls and could operate quickly.
Seeing that the wheat had only been ripe for about a minute, Xu Ling, who had nothing else to do, decided to wait a while.
Kaopu had nothing else to do at the moment, so he, like Xu Ling, stared intently at the wheat.
Under the watchful eyes of the two, the wheat showed no signs of stage fright, quickly sprouting and transforming from tender green to mature golden yellow.
A "ding-dong" sound came from the screen as a notification.
