Li Yao entering the Hundred Fruit Garden was like Sun Wukong entering Flower and Fruit Mountain.
The various mutated fruits were a feast for her eyes, and she kept swallowing her saliva.
I wonder if it's because of the unique geographical location of this rainforest that most of the plants here have mutated, or perhaps the plants here were originally well cared for and had ample nutrition, which led to their mutation into beneficial plants.
However, this was not the reason for Li Yao's amazement. It was simply that the Hundred Fruit Garden was too shocking to Li Yao.
Regardless of the variety, they actually bore fruit in April.
A pomelo the size of a basketball, a banana the length of an adult's arm, a jackfruit half a meter long, a mangosteen the size of a head, a longan the size of a bowl, a rambutan the size of a volleyball, an avocado the size of a washbasin, and a wending fruit the size of an apple.
Fortunately, these fruits had only grown larger and their appearance hadn't changed much, so Li Yao could recognize them all, and the system scanned them and found no poison.
The fruity aroma was so strong that Li Yao could smell it from 10 meters away.
She picked a big banana
Use [Spatial Control] to make the banana fly to you. Peel it and take a bite. The rich sweetness fills your mouth. It's sweet, soft, and has a pure banana flavor.
Li Yao ate four or five bites in a row, and her supernatural abilities were slightly replenished. It seems that these fruits also replenish supernatural abilities.
Then Li Yao used [Spatial Control] to pick a lot of fruit. She also tasted rambutan, which was sweet and juicy, just like eating a small cantaloupe. One was enough to make her half full, and it also quenched her thirst.
The banana plantation here is also very large, and all kinds of bananas have already borne fruit, some of which are still green. Li Yao did not pick them, but picked some that were yellow or looked ripe and had a banana aroma.
A very fruitful experience.
Li Yao naturally didn't miss out on the mangoes either, as mangoes are her favorite food. These mutated mangoes were each the size of a cantaloupe, and Li Yao couldn't stop collecting them.
She was happily picking durians when she suddenly smelled a stronger, more intense durian aroma. She figured that if a mutated durian were placed in a confined space, it could really be used as a biological weapon.
But she likes to eat durian.
When she arrived at the durian plantation, she was so overwhelmed by the stench that she almost vomited, so she had to put on a gas mask and go inside.
The system scanned the fruit and found it to be non-toxic. Li Yao found one with an opening, opened it, and tasted a piece. The flesh was smooth, sweet, and creamy—it was top-notch!
She immediately stored all the durians into her spatial storage, and also collected more than a dozen durian trees, along with their soil.
This durian variety, which was originally large, has mutated to be half a meter tall. The Musang King durian, which was originally smaller, has mutated to be about the size of a basketball.
Several hundred durians would be enough for Li Yao to eat for several years.
After emptying the Hundred Fruit Garden, Li Yao went to the Hundred Bamboo Garden, intending to find some new flavors for May and June in the space.
Bamboo plants belong to the Poaceae family and the Bambusoideae subfamily. This subfamily contains about 70 genera and more than 1,000 species worldwide, about 37 genera and more than 500 species in China, and as many as 28 genera and 250 species in southern Yunnan.
Xiyuan Bamboo Garden covers an area of 104 mu (approximately 6.9 hectares) and cultivates over 250 varieties of bamboo. It collects bamboo species from various provinces along the southeastern coast of China and tropical Southeast Asian countries, including many rare and precious species.
Examples include the Giant Dragon Bamboo with stems up to 25 centimeters thick, the Buddha Belly Bamboo with its interspersed stems resembling a Buddha's belly, the Golden Green Bamboo with its yellow and green hues, and the Thorny Bamboo with its branches covered in hooked thorns.
The local Dai people use sticky rice bamboo to make bamboo rice, as well as rare climbing and twining rattan bamboo and phoenix tail bamboo with strong Dai ethnic characteristics.
This garden is one of the specialized gardens in China with the largest collection of bamboo species, and it is the world's largest collection of clump-forming bamboo.
After the apocalypse, the bamboo in the bamboo garden became even more lush and slender, reaching 8-18 meters in length.
It's April now, and bamboo shoots are in season for picking.
After scanning the area, the system found some spring bamboo shoots, including chicken bamboo shoots, early bamboo shoots, and thunder bamboo shoots. Li Yao then used [Spatial Control] to dig the bamboo shoots out of the ground and store them in her space.
As for bamboo, Li Yao didn't know which kinds of bamboo her giant pandas liked to eat, so she took away some of the common bamboo species that giant pandas eat.
This includes species such as August bamboo, solid bamboo, Qiong bamboo, large-leaved Qiong bamboo, bamboo shoot bamboo, few-flowered arrow bamboo, short cone Yushan bamboo, north-backed Yushan bamboo, E're bamboo, Bashan wood bamboo, rough-flowered arrow bamboo, arrow bamboo without bracts, and Huaju bamboo.
The types of bamboo commonly used for feeding captive giant pandas include thorny bamboo, white bamboo, light bamboo, bitter bamboo, broadleaf bamboo, moso bamboo, cold arrow bamboo, walking stick bamboo, arrow bamboo, March bamboo shoots, and square bamboo shoots.
Li Yao had the system scan all of these plants, keeping a few based on their variety, and storing the rest in her spatial storage.
