A flash of white light appeared, and Shen Zhiyi gradually saw the scenery before her.
They were currently in a valley, a very large valley, and in the distance, there appeared to be a waterfall.
Meanwhile, the route on the treasure map appeared in Shen Zhiyi's mind, roughly sketching the directions and names of the valley.
This made it much faster for them to find supplies.
"Wow! Xingxing! I finally get to see you in person!" Sangsang had just recovered when she saw Shen Zhiyi beside her and immediately rushed over.
Like a koala, it clung to Shen Zhiyi.
Shen Zhiyi: "......"
"No, calm down. With your height, is it appropriate for you to hang on me?"
You wouldn't believe it, but Sangsang has the face of a mature woman, but her personality is like a child's. The contrast is huge.
"Hehe, I was just too excited, wasn't I?"
Sangsang got off Shen Zhiyi and chuckled twice.
Shen Zhiyi looked at Sangsang, then at Chen Peng, and then sadly realized...
She was the shortest of the three.
......
"Enough talk, let's hurry inside and grab some freebies."
“I just saw an orchard behind me on the route given on the treasure map, shall we go take a look?” Chen Peng suggested.
Yes, Chen Peng and Sang Sang can also see the route on the treasure map.
"walk!"
The three of them immediately turned around and walked away.
As she walked, Shen Zhiyi felt something was off. Why did the grass on this meadow seem a bit too tall?
It was almost up to her thighs, and some of the flowers even had purple blooms.
A single plant can produce dozens of small purple flowers.
[Purple Rice Flower: This is a magical flower that is edible. The petals taste like purple rice. Health: 10.]
Shen Zhiyi's eyes lit up, and she quickly bent down to pick the purple rice flowers.
Sangsang and Chen Peng noticed it too, but they didn't ask anything; they just took what they could get.
Shen Zhiyi stopped after taking a whole box of purple popcorn.
She took out another empty box, intending to dig some up and see if she could grow it herself. Although it might not be enough to fill her stomach, it was better than nothing.
"We won't dig anymore, we don't have any Star Soil to plant." Chen Peng came over to help Shen Zhiyi dig.
Sangsang came over and squatted down next to Shen Zhiyi, muttering, "There's Star Soil in the trading area, but it's too expensive. I was thinking of buying a piece."
"How expensive is it?" Shen Zhiyi seemed not to have noticed Star Soil when she was in the trading area.
"That person wants ten catties of food, and it has to be ready-to-eat. Two catties of fruit at most, and three catties of water at most. I only have a little food on me, which is not enough at all." Sangsang felt heartbroken when she thought about this.
"This requirement is indeed a bit too high." Shen Zhiyi also felt that it was a bit unreasonable to ask for such high demands.
Chen Peng: "If his Star Soil is of a higher grade, I might try to trade it back. If it's too low grade, then forget it. I won't be a sucker."
"There used to be cheap Star Soil in the trading area, but the Wan Jing Chamber of Commerce got there first."
"After Wanjing Chamber of Commerce acquired it, the price doubled."
"......" This Wanjing Chamber of Commerce is here to stir up trouble, isn't it?
The three of them didn't continue the topic. After digging up a box of purple rice flower plants, they continued walking forward.
They soon arrived at the orchard that Chen Peng had mentioned.
It is an orange grove.
"There's a treasure chest in the tree!" Shen Zhiyi spotted the treasure chest hidden among the leaves.
I never expected that there would be a treasure chest in this secret realm.
The tree was a bit tall, so Chen Peng went over and helped Shen Zhiyi take it down.
However, Shen Zhiyi didn't open it directly; the important thing now was to pick the oranges.
Chen Peng was responsible for climbing up to pick the oranges on the higher ground, while Shen Zhiyi and Sang Sang were responsible for picking the oranges on the lower ground and taking the oranges that Chen Peng picked down.
It took two hours to pick three full boxes of oranges.
The three of them also found several treasure chests on the orange tree.
We spent an hour on the meadow near the purple rice flowers, and with the time spent picking oranges, it took us three hours in total.
Twenty-one hours left.
After thinking it over, Shen Zhiyi decided to dig up two orange trees to take home, so that she could have fruit freedom in the future.
Coincidentally, Sangsang and Chen Peng thought the same thing.
One person dug up two orange trees, and another hour passed.
Don't be fooled by the fact that there are only two trees; these orange trees are different from those on Earth. They are much bigger than the orange trees on Earth.
"I'm exhausted, this tree was so hard to dig up." Sangsang was completely worn out and sat leaning against an orange tree.
Shen Zhiyi was alright; she had Xiaoyugan and Xiaolan to help her, so her life was relatively easy.
Although they eventually helped Sangsang and Chen Peng, they were still exhausted.
"Let's eat something first, I haven't eaten breakfast." Sangsang rubbed her stomach, she was already hungry.
Shen Zhiyi took a few pieces of beef jerky and distributed them to them.
Chen Peng took out three boxes of rice bowls, which he had obtained from the Star Beasts yesterday.
Seeing that there was food and snacks, Sangsang took out a few bottles of drinks.
After finishing their meal, Shen Zhiyi began checking the route to see where was closest to them.
Having decided on the next destination, I had just gotten up to set off when I heard a commotion nearby.
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
A small purple mouse darted out and appeared in front of Shen Zhiyi and the others.
"Hiss." Sangsang took a step back; she had never seen such a big rat in the north!
Shen Zhiyi was already used to it; she had seen rats even bigger than the one in front of her.
Immediately afterwards, a group of rats darted out of the bushes and, behind the purple rat at the front, blocked Shen Zhiyi and her two companions.
He bared his teeth, his expression unfriendly.
How could the little dried fish tolerate this tiny mouse's disrespect for its keeper?
He rushed forward to fight, but Shen Zhiyi grabbed him by the back of the neck.
"Squeak squeak squeak!" You humans are shameless! What right do you have to dig up our purple rice flowers!
Shen Zhiyi shook the dried fish in her hand. "Dried fish, translate what they're saying."
"Awoooooo!" they cried out, asking why their purple rice flowers were being dug up.
The dried fish, held in Shen Zhiyi's hand, dared not move and obediently became a beast language translator.
"Oh dear, this..." Shen Zhiyi rolled her eyes, trying to think of a way to gloss over the matter.
Sangsang tugged at Chen Zhiyi's clothes and whispered, "What are they saying?"
"We stole their purple rice flowers, and now they're coming after us."
Before Shen Zhiyi could speak, Chen Peng spoke first.
"You noticed that?" Shen Zhiyi asked in surprise.
Chen Peng's lips twitched. "They're all the same color, and they came from the grasslands over there in purple rice fields."
"..." Shen Zhiyi turned to look at them, "How about we give you some food as an exchange?"
Little Dried Fish diligently and enthusiastically translated.
The purple mouse, which had just been giving a hostile look, paused for a moment, then squeaked.
"Aww!" Zookeeper, it's asking you what you'd like to exchange.
