Side Quests
Holding the pickling box in her arms with surprise, Ye Miaomiao's heart was filled with sweet joy and worries.
Put sesame paste residue, five-spice seasoning, and red clay pickled eggs in the box. After three days, they will automatically mature, and the butter that flows out will make the children next door cry with envy. But now, there is only the box, but... no red clay and no eggs.
Red clay and sesame seeds can be collected in the central area, but eggs...
Ye Miaomiao turned her head to look at the chirping chicks who were "bearing a heavy responsibility". She leaned over and touched the furry heads of a bunch of chicks, saying lovingly, "Grow up quickly, little chicks."
A chick under him trembled for some reason and suddenly chirped faster.
He jumped around among a bunch of little yellow-haired creatures, seeming eager to say something.
Ye Miaomiao looked at it hesitantly: "?" No matter how she looked at it, she felt like the chick was talking. Is this normal?
She remembered the skill she had just activated, "Beast Whisperer," and immediately received a system prompt after choosing to activate it.
[Beast Whisperer: After looking at an animal for three seconds, you can hear its innermost thoughts. Activating this skill unlocks the Beast Whisperer class, and you can disable it on this page.]
As she looked at the little yellow chicken, the chirping sounds in her ears gradually changed in tone—"Ah!" Several sharp screams almost made Ye Miaomiao lose her voice on the spot. "Mom, mom, mom, mom!"
"Hurry up and give this humble little chicken a kiss. This world cannot exist without its mother! Mother is the guiding light! I am the happiest little chicken in the world, surrounded by my mother's arms! Damn it, why can't my wings fly? It's my excited tears that have wet my wings! Mom! Mom!"
Ye Miaomiao: “?”
She looked away with great difficulty, and the voice instantly disappeared from her mind. She wondered if she was hallucinating or had heard it wrongly?
Looking at the other little yellow chicken, I saw it quietly pecking at the ground twice - "Cluck, cluck, cluck, yummy, yummy, where is the delicious food?"
Ye Miaomiao shifted her gaze back, and even though she had prepared herself mentally, her eardrum was still pierced with a sharp pain.
"Ah! Poor little chicken, the last dinosaur, on its last legs yet still hoping for a comeback. A dinosaur that can't even protect the one it loves most, what's the point of living!..."
Ye Miaomiao: “?” There is something wrong with this chicken.
She listened to the pig talk for a while, her mind reeling with the sounds of "delicious, delicious, delicious". She didn't know why the pigs' humming sounds in their sleep were all neatly arranged "delicious".
After listening for a while, Ye Miaomiao felt dizzy and looked away.
"They...they are hungry." She rubbed her forehead and decided not to use this skill for the time being.
"I'll feed them right away." The pig farming team picked up a box in one hand and was about to leave when Ye Miaomiao called him again.
"That one..." She reluctantly pointed at the little yellow chicken that jumped the highest: "Don't kill it yet, I'll keep it for a use."
This little yellow chicken is abnormal, and she is afraid that someone will get diarrhea after eating it.
The pig farming team leader immediately put down another box, freed one hand, and with a "puff", he plucked a handful of hair from the little yellow chicken's butt. The butt, which was not lush to begin with, suddenly had a large empty area, making it particularly conspicuous among the group of furry chickens.
"ah!"
Ye Miaomiao vaguely heard a shrill scream and quickly looked away.
"Now that it's marked, does the Lord have any further instructions?"
Ye Miaomiao quickly shook her head and watched as Zhang from the pig farming team took away two boxes of piglets...
Ye Miaomiao placed the box of sesame paste pickled eggs on the second floor of the chicken coop. When there was red mud and sesame paste in the warehouse, the pig farming team leader would automatically take them and put the unfertilized eggs in it for pickling.
When the time comes, the pickled eggs will be stored in the cellar area she set up.
The shelf life of sesame eggs is longer than that of fresh eggs. The shelf life is extended three times in the cellar, so a sesame egg can be stored for three months!
Ye Miaomiao decided to stock up on a batch of sesame eggs, of course, not because she was greedy.
No one knew what the next round of disaster would be, so she had to prepare in advance to avoid being caught off guard when it struck. Thinking of this, Ye Miaomiao posted the two items, "Red Mud" and "Sesame," on the task board for long-term acquisition.
Shortly after sending the task, she received a private message from Zhang Jiajia:
"urgent."
When Ye Miaomiao arrived, Zhang Jiajia was standing at the gate of the territory, with several security guards behind him in a defensive posture, looking very nervous.
There was only a thin man in front of them. The man did not attack, but was half-kneeling on the ground. He seemed to be in an abnormal mental state, and his eyes were wandering around in fear.
I don't know what frightened him, but his face was pale, his clothes were tattered, and he smelled bad. He didn't care about the dirty mud on his hands, just hugged his shoulders tightly, and made quick, short inhalations, as if he was about to suffocate.
"What's wrong?" Ye Miaomiao looked at the man warily.
"He is..." Zhang Jiajia's face showed a trace of sympathy and fear: "He spoke intermittently, and I had a hard time understanding the general idea..."
He told the story from the beginning.
It turned out that the man's name was Fang Zhiyong. Before the doomsday, he was a colleague of Zhang Jiajia and an employee of the Donglai time-honored restaurant.
After entering the game, he joined up with fellow restaurant employee Master Liu and others, and together they journeyed to Lord Yu's territory. At first, they were quite happy, gathering resources and working together to build a small house. Although Fang Zhiyong looked like he was in his fifties or sixties, he was actually only in his thirties, still considered a young and strong man, and he thrived in the territory.
"Then what?" Ye Miaomiao frowned. Fang Zhiyong didn't look like a fish in water at the moment.
"Then..."
Zhang Jiajia swallowed his saliva and paused briefly when he said this.
He asked in response, "Divine Light... is the spoils of every defensive battle. Can it actually... change a person's genes?"
It turned out that Lord Yu had been suffering from stomach cancer for a long time, and he suffered excruciating pain every day, but he had told no one. One night, he secretly used divine light on himself. At first, no one noticed anything unusual, except that Lord Yu's smile had brightened a lot in the past few days.
Within two days, the situation took a turn for the worse, and Lord Yu suddenly became moody and volatile. Fang Zhiyong saw him call all his confidants into the lord's hut, and soon after, a group of them came out, all looking extremely strange.
"Master Liu was also called in. At first, Luo Mei, Master Liu's wife, was very happy, thinking that her husband was being valued."
"But the next night, Luo Mei came to Fang Zhiyong with a terrified look on her face. She said... Master Liu refused to take off his clothes before going to bed. Luo Mei thought it was dirty, so she took off his clothes while he was sleeping, but she found..."
When Zhang Jiajia said this, Ye Miaomiao already had a bad feeling.
"Luo Mei's description was so outrageous that Fang Zhiyong didn't believe it at the time. He thought it was a prank played by the two of them, so he laughed and sent Luo Mei back. But the next morning, Luo Mei disappeared. Lord Yu said... Luo Mei stole something from the territory and escaped last night."
The more Fang Zhiyong thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Just as he was about to escape, he was caught by Lord Yu.
He was locked up in the basement of the lord's cabin, and it was at this time that Lord Yu revealed his true identity.
Only then did Fang Zhiyong realize that the tumor in Lord Yu's stomach had taken shape at some point and had actually emerged from his stomach. And Lord Yu himself? Except for the exposed part, his neck, which was usually covered, had been split in two, and his face was only capable of a strange smile.
Fang Zhiyong was used as "food" for the tumor, and Luo Mei was among them. Fortunately, Master Liu suddenly released the two of them. I'm afraid that Fang Zhiyong would no longer exist.
Ye Miaomiao asked, "Where are Master Liu and Luo Mei?"
"Dead...dead!" Fang Zhiyong shouted, crawled on the ground, and sobbed without caring about his image.
I don’t know what kind of horrific escape he experienced, no wonder he looked so scared.
Zhang Jiajia sighed, "Back when Luo Mei stole my things, Brother Fang... Fang Zhiyong told me to go find him. If I had gone there... I'd be terrified. Luckily I met the boss."
"Want to take him in, Boss?"
Ye Miaomiao frowned.
"I, I know." Fang Zhiyong swallowed several times and almost choked on himself. "He, he said that your territory ruined his plans. He contacted people from another territory and wants to take advantage of some... blood, blood moon to trample you down!"
Fang Zhiyong's eyes rolled rapidly, and he finally regained some composure and sorted out his thoughts.
"I, I overheard it. Hungry, hungry, hungry. I, I'm telling you, you must not let him succeed! Otherwise... otherwise... he will get it, he will win!"
"Everyone will die! Everyone will die!"
Fang Zhiyong suddenly lost his mind again and curled up on the grass. People passing by frowned at him and took a long detour in panic.
Ye Miaomiao frowned.
There was only one territory in this area that had broken away from the Human Alliance. Could it be... Lord Yu's territory? And what about the other territory Fang Zhiyong mentioned?
These messy territories, Fang Zhiyong looked mentally unstable, and Ye Miaomiao couldn't ask too much.
But the word "blood moon" really made her nervous.
Not only because she had experienced a blood moon when she was playing games before, but also because when Fang Zhiyong said the word blood moon, Ye Miaomiao suddenly received a prompt in her system -
