Xiao Jiu was slightly frustrated and said, "Well... it seems we can only wait until Xiao Jiu is a little older before we can think of a solution."
Yun Duo smiled and said, "Silly Xiao Jiu, I'm not trying to become a king or a tyrant. I just want to be able to fight back when others threaten me. So, I don't need millions of soldier ants. One or two groups will be enough."
"Mmm." Little Nine nodded and said, "Master is right. I misunderstood. We can't become fat in one bite." Then, a little worried that Yun Duo would 'dislike' her, she added confidently, "But Master, don't worry. I've only advanced to the first level and am still young. Naturally, I'm not that powerful yet. Once I'm fully grown up, I can protect you well and let you do as you please."
Hearing Xiao Jiu say that, Yun Duo couldn't help but laugh, thinking that Xiao Jiu was really childish. In this world, who can do whatever they want? As she thought about it, Li Cheng's image inexplicably popped into her mind.
He said he would come back to see me, but it's been more than two months since he left last time, and I haven't heard from him at all. I'm afraid... he's forgotten me.
It makes sense, really. He was just a country girl he rescued on a whim, and he actually managed to become friends with her.
Yun Duo chuckled self-deprecatingly and continued to pull weeds from the ground.
The corn has grown quite tall and is starting to produce male pollen. The corn leaves are also very long. In this hot weather, it's not a pleasant task to stay in the field and pull weeds. It's stuffy and hot, and you'll get many cuts on your hands and face from the corn leaves.
It's good that Xiao Jiu is here now; at least there are no mosquitoes biting her anymore. Before Xiao Jiu woke up, Yun Duo was bitten quite a bit by mosquitoes.
However, she didn't complain at all. But Xiao Jiu couldn't help feeling sorry for her. Thinking about it, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said to Yun Duo, "That's right, Master! What do you think about me strengthening two groups of ants so they can eat grass roots in the ground? Ants are mostly omnivorous and also eat plant roots and stems. With a slight adjustment to their genetic information, we can turn them into herbivorous ants. The weather is so hot now. If the ants can bite off and eat the grass roots, then the weeds in the ground definitely won't be able to grow anymore. That way, you won't have to come to the field to pull weeds every few days!"
Yun Duo thought Xiao Jiu's idea was really good. After all, no matter how unprofitable farming was, in her grandparents' eyes, farming was their profession. No matter how much money beekeeping made, it couldn't make them feel as at ease as the crops growing well in the fields.
Yun Duo had no choice but to comply. If she could avoid chores like weeding... well, not to say completely, but just to be better off than she was now, without having to squat in the field pulling weeds every two or three days, it would make her life much easier!
Therefore, upon hearing Xiao Jiu's words, Yun Duo asked with delight, "Is this okay?"
Sensing the delight in her owner's voice, Xiao Jiu replied without hesitation, "Of course! And we can not only get the ants to help with weeding, but also have them eat pests and their eggs. Not just ants, wasps too. Oh, right, wasps are much better at catching insects than ants. Besides stealing honey from bees, their main food source is various insects, so enhancing the use of ants and wasps for weeding and pest control is entirely feasible!"
