On the way to the strange guard captain's house, Xian Nanwang's expression was a bit indescribable.
Who would have thought that he would fall into the same trap as the target of the mission? The captain of the guard also had to fight for people to farm. Is the treatment of civil servants in Weird here not good enough?
Originally, this was not a big deal. Although he deliberately raised the labor price, he was still confident in his weeding ability.
but!
When Wu Xiannan thought of this, he glanced at the sixteen newcomers walking beside and behind him with a very resentful look, who were chosen by the strange guard captain.
Then, when these sixteen newcomers with relatively strong superpowers met that resentful gaze, they quickly looked up at the sky, the ground, the scenery, their fingers, their toes, and the road ahead, and they refused to look at the immortal man.
It’s not that they are afraid of this overly handsome pretty boy, it’s just that, well, everyone has somewhat benefited from the pretty boy’s fame, but they have transferred all the pressure to him. They are new here, but they are not completely incompetent yet, so they feel a little weak.
That’s right, because Xiannan was the first brave man to ask for a salary increase, dozens of people followed him and showed their strengths one after another, and more or less won the salary increase and egg treatment.
This means that the compensation that the captain of the weird guard has to pay for this job is more than twice as expensive as in the previous few months!
No exploiter would like to give their employees a pay raise!
And the most annoying thing is the troublemaker who takes the lead in demanding a pay raise!!
So no matter how perfectly and appropriately the fairy man smiled as he followed the captain of the guard, the weird captain looked at him with a sinister and fierce look as if he wanted to smash him into a meat pie.
Immortal Man: “…”
never mind.
I really can't laugh anymore, so I'd better save my energy and figure out how to remove the grass.
Soon they arrived at the captain of the guard's house.
The weird guard captain's house is smaller than the village chief's big house, but it is still sturdy and imposing compared to other weird houses in the novice village.
His house was in the northwest corner of the village, and all the land from the house to the north belonged to him.
This is the first time that newcomers see the fields and crops of the strange world.
It didn't look as strange as they imagined. In fact, if you look closely, it seems a bit familiar.
"Why does that dark yellow thing with barbs on it look like corn to me?"
"That's not corn. That's a cross between cactus and corn, right? How can corn have thorns on every kernel?"
"I don't think the thorns on the corn kernels are a problem. The problem is that red, pointy thing over there that occasionally shoots out little flames. Is that a chili pepper?"
"Have plants in this world evolved to this level of self-preservation?!"
Wu Xiangwang curled his lips inwardly as he listened to the thorny young man's complaints.
How normal! The weird animals in this world have maces growing on their tails. It is only natural for the immobile plants to give themselves more physical and magical protection.
Otherwise, even the seeds would have been eaten up.
"I understand the pitfalls of this mission, but aren't the cabbages over there any better? They seem a bit bigger and wilder in appearance, but they're not ferocious at all."
As soon as the newcomer finished speaking, everyone saw the wild-looking cabbage suddenly open its four large outer leaves and slap them hard to the left and right twice, deftly killing a palm-sized insect that was gnawing on its leaves.
Everyone: “…”
"Well, this cabbage is not just wild, it's very wild."
The thorny one sentence is the decisive one.
Everyone, including Xian Nan, shut up.
"Alright, stop standing here and wasting time! All seventeen of you, hurry up and line up to get your clothes and tools!"
"Don't be intimidated by the food growing in the fields! These foods are only difficult to deal with during harvest time. Go weed the fields now, and be careful, they won't attack you!"
The strange guard captain had carried out two large sacks from his home and thrown them on the ground at some point.
He used his four very powerful arms to tear open two large sacks. One sack contained work clothes that looked like they were made of burlap, and the other sack contained a handmade shovel that showed obvious signs of use.
"Everyone, put on some clothes and grab a shovel and follow me! I'll teach you how to identify the weeds you need to remove! Hurry up! I don't have that much time to waste with you. I still have to go on patrol!"
Seventeen people quickly rushed forward to grab clothes and tools. Wu Xiangwang had no desire for the coarse linen clothes that lacked beauty and texture, but the nightgown he was wearing was simply too unsuitable for work.
After he put on the linen shirt and pants from the strange world that looked so much like work clothes, he was only thankful that he was wearing shorts. Otherwise, he would have been rubbed to the point of bleeding after a day of work.
But now he didn't have a vest to wear, and he felt a little rubbing and cold on his chest.
Underwear! Besides the cape, he needs underwear!!
The immortal man cried out in his heart, but he looked very composed.
He was a little disdainful of the not-very-sharp handmade shovel, but he still reached out and took one. If he went to the fields to test whether the kitchen knife was better than the shovel, he would decisively give up the shovel.
The seventeen people quickly put on their clothes and took their tools, and the strange captain waved his four arms and walked towards his beloved field.
At first, the newcomers were worried that the cabbage would suddenly hit their thighs with its leaves, that the fire-breathing chili pepper would suddenly spit fire and singe their hair, or that the weird big corn would turn into a corn kernel sprayer and use the corn kernels with spikes to shoot them into hedgehogs.
But after walking cautiously along the ridges for a while, everyone felt relieved when they found that these strange crops and plants did not actively attack.
"Look! That black thing scratching at the soil is the groundgrass!"
"This grass has sharp, strong leaves. It has eight leaves in total, each digging into the soil in eight different directions to absorb nutrients. Your task is to use a shovel to remove all eight leaves of the digging grass from the soil! Finally, you must also dig out the roots! That way, you'll have eliminated one piece of grass."
"I have seventeen plots of land in total. You can each take one of the sixteen surrounding plots! Spiky rice is more lethal than hot peppers, and large leafy vegetables are the least lethal. You can decide among yourselves who gets which plot. Hehe, whoever grabs it gets it."
The sixteen newcomers paused after hearing this, and then some of them quickly turned around and ran towards the field of wild cabbage, also known as large-leafed cabbage.
Within a minute, all sixteen people ran away.
Only Wu Xiannan was still standing there with an ethereal look on his face, not moving.
The strange captain narrowed his eyes and looked at Wu Xiangwang: "You are quite smart. I like to eat smart roasted human brains."
The immortal rolled his eyes.
This guy said at the beginning that the most troublesome piece of land in the center of the field would be given to him, so why was he still fighting for it?
"Come with me."
The weird captain turned around and walked towards the center of the field. Wu Xiangwang followed behind and soon saw the golden cornfield with very small spurs, which looked very much like normal corn.
"Mine is a second-grade spiked rice. The energy contained within is far superior to those ordinary, inferior first-grade varieties! However, the higher the energy level of the crop, the lower its combat effectiveness, and the more devourers will enter at once.
The grass growing in this field is all grade 2 groundgrass.
You said you were awesome, didn't you? You're responsible for clearing all the second-grade weeds from this field! And you have to do it within three days, otherwise I'll eat you!"
After the weird captain finished speaking, he turned around with a loud laugh, waving his four huge gray-green arms, looking at the humans here and rubbing his hands with a grin.
"You have to remove all the grass in the field within three days! Otherwise, you will all become fertilizer in my field and food on my table!!"
"Don't think I'm giving you too little time. After all, everyone's getting a raise. More power means more work! That's the right thing to do!!"
"Finally, only if you successfully remove a blade of grass and put it into the bucket can you get the first egg!"
"If you don't even remove a single blade of grass and still want to eat eggs for free, no way!!"
"I'll be back at noon to oversee your progress!"
After saying that, the weird captain strode away, leaving the newcomers standing in their respective areas feeling confused.
Everyone glanced at each other across the fields, then bent down in unison. What else could they say? Let's roll up our sleeves and get to work.
At least they have to get an egg by removing a blade of grass, because they haven't even had breakfast yet.
At this time, Wu Xiangwang also looked down at the ground-crawling grass at his feet, which was tightly attached to the ground and had eight leaves almost sticking to the ground.
This grass really lives up to its name. It seems difficult to deal with at first glance.
"Well, let's try giving away tools first."
Wu Xiangwang squatted on the ground, stretched out his hand and used a hand shovel to poke the leaves of the ground grass, which were as wide as a man's arm and almost half a meter long.
clatter.
When the hand-operated shovel poked the leaves of the ground-grass, it made a sound like it was piercing a wooden board. However, there was not a single scratch on the black grass leaf in front of Wu Xiangwang, as if mocking the shovel and the person's overestimation of their own abilities.
Don’t forget each other: “…OK.”
He threw away the hand-made shovel and unwrapped the village chief's kitchen knife that was wrapped in wild grass. Without the grass wrapping, the village chief's kitchen knife looked cold and sharp in the sunlight. Wu Xiangwang held the kitchen knife and gave a fake smile to the leaf that looked like a black wooden board.
"I'll give you a raise."
The immortal man raised the kitchen knife high up and then chopped it down fiercely!
"grumble--"
With an indescribable scream, the piece of ground grass leaf that looked like a black wooden board was chopped off by the immortal man with a knife.
"As expected, dropped equipment is still useful."
The weapons given by the system are not as good as the weapons obtained by killing monsters!
Then Wu Xiannan chopped eight times, cutting off one leaf at a time, and quickly and cleanly cut off all eight long leaves of the ground grass.
In the end, only the grassroots are left.
Wu Xiangwang also used the village chief's kitchen knife to dig out the grass roots.
It doesn’t look that difficult, does it?
Wu Xiangwang was confused for a moment when he looked at the grass roots that were easily turned out, but before he could think clearly, his hand had already reached out.
This grass still needs to be recycled and exchanged for eggs.
Then, the moment his fingers touched the grass roots, the grass roots that seemed like dead things suddenly wrapped around Wu Xiangwang's fingers and then spread towards his palm. At the same time, Wu Xiangwang felt the loss of blood and strength in his body, and immediately raised his eyebrows.
"Oh no."
It turns out the biggest pit is here.
At this time, he heard a series of exclamations and screams coming from other fields.
Apparently, other newcomers have also encountered this situation.
However, when others were screaming and panicking, not knowing how to deal with the blood-sucking grass roots, Wu Xiannan slowly raised the corners of his mouth.
He stretched out his left hand that was not entangled, and the tips of his ten black and white patterned nails simultaneously stabbed at the roots of the grass that were trying hard to wrap around him and suck his blood and vitality.
Skill [Bloodsucking].
"Isn't this a coincidence? We have the same skills."
"It depends on who can suck the most."
Level 2 Ground-Digging Grass: ???
Level 2 Ground-Digging Grass:!!!
Level 2 Digging Grass: Ji——
Level 2 ground-pulling grass withered after ten seconds: Grass—

The author has something to say:
Groundgrass: A plant! A plant that looks a lot like me!!! It sucks blood from the opposite side and has no moral principles!!
Weird Mosquito: That's right! Reverse blood sucking is unethical!
Wangwang: Don't be like that, we're all in the same business. I just suck a little harder.
