Although Kaopu always compares herself to a computer, she has always felt that Kaopu is somewhat like a robot, except that Kaopu is like a robot with advanced technology, is relatively intelligent, and even has self-awareness.
Despite this description, it's still essentially a robot.
In Xu Ling's mind, robots should be those that eat engine oil. By the same token, even if a reliable robot is highly intelligent, it should still be one that eats engine oil. That makes sense!
Xu Ling nodded to herself, agreeing with herself.
The reliability is somewhat absurd. To put it another way, Xu Ling's guess is less reliable than the idea that it consumes data streams. At least it told her that it would store massive amounts of data.
“I don’t eat engine oil, thank you,” Kaopu immediately retorted, but then muttered to himself, “However, I never expected that I could actually eat food.”
Xu Ling asked curiously, "Haven't you tried this before?"
Kaopu shook his head thoughtfully: "No, I've never eaten food before."
This answer made Xu Ling even more curious. If that's the case, how did Kaopu manage to survive?
The question that immediately came out was: "So how do you survive like this?"
Kaopu didn't answer immediately, but gave Xu Ling a strange look: "Then what do you think I'm doing following you on this mission?"
Without a second thought, Xu Ling uttered two words: "Atonement?"
She remembered that the reliable explanation given earlier was why they were bound to her.
“That’s not entirely wrong,” Xu Ling said bluntly, pausing briefly to regain her composure and try to save face. “Of course, that’s secondary. The most important thing is that I can gain energy as you complete your mission!”
"And this energy will be enough to sustain all my daily activities!"
Xu Ling nodded: "I see."
No wonder it's reliable and keeps urging her to work; after all, it's related to its daily survival!
At this moment, Xu Ling understood Kaopu's previous behavior.
"Alright, now that you understand everything, let's see how much wheat can produce and how much bread."
On a more reliable note, while bread is delicious, it's important to know the proportions of bread produced by bakeries. Otherwise, blindly turning all the wheat into bread would be counterproductive.
Xu Ling just put out a small pile of wheat, the exact amount is uncertain, but the bakery only produced eight loaves of bread.
So how much or how little is it? Without measuring tools, it's difficult to determine.
The only way to make a judgment now is to calculate it based on a single piece of farmland.
Thinking this through, the reliable suggestion was: "Host, after you harvest the corn, plant wheat on both fields, and then put the harvested wheat from both fields into the bakery to see how much bread can be produced."
Xu Ling had no objection to the reliable suggestion and agreed with the operation, as this was more reliable when no measuring tools were available.
Just then, the corn ripened, and Xu Ling immediately harvested it, then planted wheat and waited for it to mature.
A minute passed quickly, and as soon as the wheat ripened, Xu Ling harvested it with a single click. This time, instead of storing the wheat in the granary, she placed it directly into the bakery.
[Bread production in progress, please wait, countdown 2:00]
Taking advantage of this time, Xu Ling waved and called the little fairy over.
Ruth saw Xu Ling's gesture and flew over.
"Master, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Give."
Xu Ling took out bread from her system backpack. When she had just harvested corn and planted wheat, the bread she had placed in her skirt was too cumbersome and would easily get dirty, so she put the remaining bread into her system backpack.
"This...is for Ruth?"
The little fairy pointed to herself, somewhat surprised.
She had just witnessed Xu Ling and Kaopu's series of actions, and she had also seen the bread that the bakery was spitting out.
But the food was so precious that Ruth thought she wouldn't get any!
“Yes, it’s for Ruth,” Xu Ling admitted without hesitation, holding the bread out to Ruth. “But Ruth, is it easy for you to carry like this?”
Although the little fairy had grown a bit, she still didn't look as tall as the bread in her hand, and Xu Ling suspected that the little fairy couldn't lift it at all.
"Do you want me to break it up for you?" Xu Ling kindly suggested.
"Is it really possible, Master?"
Ruth never expected that her happiness would be doubled today. Not only did her master give her precious food, but he also wanted to break it up for her!
Ruth looked at Xu Ling with excitement.
Seeing that Ruth didn't object, Xu Ling didn't waste any words and tore off a small piece of bread to hand to Ruth.
This small piece was already quite small for Xu Ling, but for Ruth, it was just the right size to hold in both hands.
Ruth took a big bite with a "whoosh," her eyes instantly lighting up. This was a million times tastier than plain wheat.
It was fragrant and soft, unlike the hard, dry ears of wheat. If Ruth hadn't been a little devil by nature, she probably wouldn't have been able to swallow it.
At that moment, Ruth was won over by the bread.
She quickened her eating pace, and soon the small piece of bread was gone.
Seeing this, Xu Ling tore off another piece and handed it to Ruth, and the two were very happy together.
Xu Ling suddenly felt like she was raising a small pet. Well, of course, the little fairy wasn't a pet, but feeding her like this brought her some joy, especially seeing Ruth's blissful expression, which made her heart flutter.
Before long, Xu Ling had finished feeding the palm-sized piece of bread.
Xu Ling clapped her hands, brushing the breadcrumbs off her fingers. Ruth smacked her lips, seemingly still wanting more.
The timing was perfect; a creak came from the bakery, indicating the bread was ready.
The words "Baking is complete, please take out your bread!" began to flash.
This time, Xu Ling was mentally prepared. With a flick of her hand, several loaves of bread flew out just like before.
This time, she caught them steadily, without missing a single one.
Xu Ling counted the bread she had tucked into her skirt. Compared to before, there were only four pieces of bread left.
Xu Ling began to calculate carefully in her mind.
The wheat that was just put in represents the yield of two farms, meaning that the wheat produced by each farm can make two loaves of bread.
Xu Ling had just eaten one, but it didn't feel very filling. Someone like her would need about two to feel full.
Moreover, it has to be someone like Xu Ling, a celestial being, whose food needs are not high, so two pieces would be enough. Others might need three or four pieces of bread to feel full, and that's a conservative estimate.
Fortunately, three are still alive. Xu Ling eats very little, Ruth is small and only needs one loaf of bread, and Kaopu is even less of a problem. According to what it said earlier, it doesn't need to eat at all, but who knows if Kaopu will be greedy.
So, until any other living species joins in, the bread produced from the two farms is enough to feed the three of them.
