To avoid seeing it, Xu Ling closed her eyes and clicked to buy directly.
With a "bang," a black and white dairy cow appeared on the cattle farm.
The cow's mouth kept moving, its eyes calmly scanning its surroundings, and it inadvertently met Thanos's gaze.
The cow immediately stopped looking at Thanos and mooed.
Fortunately, the current Thanos is not the same Thanos as before, and even so, he remains calm and composed.
There was even a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"Xu Ling, are we having beef today?"
Thanos had seen cows before, but never one with black and white markings. However, they were all cows, so they should all be edible.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Xu Ling poured cold water on his hopes.
"Dream on! You can't eat this cow; it's specifically for producing milk!"
Of course, Xu Ling meant "cannot eat" literally, since she had been warned by the system in advance and she wouldn't do anything stupid.
However, when Thanos heard her say "cannot be eaten," he assumed that Xu Ling was reluctant to eat it, just like a hen.
The two were talking at cross purposes, but they ultimately reached the same conclusion: at least Thanos knew that beef was out of the question, but milk was still an option.
Thanos, seeing this, showed no sign of disappointment: "Then when can we drink the milk?"
"You certainly know how to enjoy yourself!"
Xu Ling thought about how she worked so hard to earn points, only to spend them in the blink of an eye, while Thanos could get them just by asking. She couldn't help but feel a little unbalanced, and her words became somewhat sarcastic.
However, Thanos didn't pick up on the sarcastic tone at all; to him, Xu Ling's words sounded like a compliment.
Immediately, Thanos wagged his tail and replied somewhat embarrassedly, "Oh, no, it's all thanks to you, Xu Ling, that I took such good care of you!"
He felt that all of this was thanks to Xu Ling, so the praise should belong to Xu Ling, no doubt about it!
Xu Ling was so taken aback by his statement that she was speechless and didn't even want to roll her eyes at him.
She ignored Thanos's words and began making feed instead.
Yes, after she placed the cows, the words "Feed?" flashed prominently above them.
However, this was completely unnecessary for Xu Ling!
Need I say more?
The obvious choice is to feed them!
Otherwise, what about her sunk costs?!
Without hesitation, Xu Ling followed the feed mill's instructions and added a certain proportion of wheat and corn.
Then, the feed mill roared to life and began to work.
Within minutes, Xu Ling had collected a bag of feed, which she immediately scattered into the cattle troughs.
Seeing food in the trough, the cow lowered its head and began to eat.
Its mouth moves slowly, but it eats very quickly.
In no time, the cows had eaten all the feed in the trough, leaving nothing behind.
Xu Ling's eyes lit up with anticipation; surely there would be milk after this meal!
However, reality told her that things were not that simple.
After the cow finished eating, its mouth continued to move, and several more minutes passed before the word "Collectible" appeared above its head.
Xu Ling clicked on those three words without thinking.
The next second, a large bucket of milk appeared in front of her.
Xu Ling rubbed her hands together excitedly, completely disregarding the fact that her current behavior was far from that of a fairy.
This milk cost her nearly two thousand points!
How could she not be excited!
So, she excitedly squatted down and got closer, but the next moment, she immediately pinched her nose and quickly moved away.
Xu Ling stood up, took several steps back, and then stopped.
Even so, a faint, fishy smell lingered around her nose—the smell of raw milk.
At that moment, she looked at the bucket of milk with disbelief in her eyes.
Why does it have such a strong fishy smell? How can anyone drink this milk?!
Before Xu Ling could figure it out, the task icon on the data screen started flashing again.
This time, before Xu Ling could even open it, it automatically popped up in front of her.
Delicious milk depends on this!

System points: 10

Xu Ling: ······
So this is a whole series of interconnected schemes, isn't it? Right?
Xu Ling never expected the system to become so cunning!
She never expected that one day she would be the one to be exploited!
Xu Ling grew angrier the more she thought about it, and completely ignored the tasks that filled her eyes.
She looked at the bucket of milk in front of her and walked around it.
Honestly, she really wanted to kick that bucket of milk over.
However, she reluctantly put her foot down as soon as she stretched it out.
She glared at the milk resentfully, then started pacing back and forth around it.
When Thanos arrived, he saw Xu Ling walking around in circles, her eyes filled with resentment and indignation.
He tilted his head when he saw this.
"Xu Ling, what are you doing?"
What's so fun about walking around a barrel like that?
He couldn't help but move closer out of curiosity, and then his eyes lit up.
It's milk!
Thanos's tail began to wag wildly.
He started to fawn over Xu Ling.
Watching Thanos fawn over her, circling around her, Xu Ling remained unmoved and asked expressionlessly, "What do you want?"
Do you know how cumbersome this is?!
Thanos, of course, had no idea that after seeing the milk, all he could think about was the milk.
"Xu Ling~"
Seeing that he had attracted Xu Ling's attention, Thanos began to call out in a sticky, murmuring voice.
He was clearly trying to please Xu Ling at this moment.
Unfortunately, Xu Ling immediately felt a chill and quickly took several steps back, keeping a safe distance from Thanos.
This was the first time she had ever heard Thanos call out to people in such a grotesque way since he had learned to speak.
Xu Ling directly stated that there was absolutely no need for this!
However, Thanos was completely unaware of this. He felt that calling out to Xu Ling like this was exactly the same as how he used to bark like a dog to please her.
In Thanos's view, a dog's bark is equivalent to a sticky wolf's howl.
Xu Ling loved hearing him bark like a dog, and even looked quite pleased with it back then, so naturally she liked it when he called her that.
Stereotypes are truly deadly!
Fortunately, when Thanos saw Xu Ling's evasive manner, he immediately realized that she didn't like it and immediately stopped being so clingy.
Of course, the fawning look on his face had not yet faded.
Thanos moved closer to Xu Ling again.
This time, Xu Ling gave him no chance to get close.
"Stop!" Xu Ling gestured for Thanos to stop. "Don't come any closer. Just stay there and tell me what you're going to do!"
