I heard a notification sound from Zhang Jia's side.
Fang Yuan thought for a moment and then turned on his own testing device.
However, her detector was aimed at a fruit with high levels of radiation.
"Beep beep, high level of radiation, not edible."
"System, can my stream water reduce advanced radiation?" Fang Yuan suddenly asked.
Yes, it's possible, but it will take a little longer.
"Then can I take all these fruits?"
Fang Yuan's eyes gleamed as he looked at the strawberry in front of him, which was bigger than a fist.
The strawberry bushes have grown into trees, with the fruit hanging densely on the branches.
There are dozens of them on one!
You can take it, but please be mindful of your teammates.
"Put away the edible things for me first, I'll take care of the rest myself!" Fang Yuan instructed the system.
Then both sides started beeping during the detection.
Zhang Jia, on the other hand, was diligently testing, examining each strawberry one by one.
Fang Yuan kept poking at one fruit while simultaneously asking the system to help collect edible fruits.
When the fruit was on the tree, it was very difficult for her to pick it using her mental power.
But the system could easily pick the fruit and take it away, so she chose to let the system help her collect it.
She kept poking at that highly irradiated fruit, and occasionally picked a few that were growing well.
Seeing that Zhang Jia was almost finished with her test, she picked the fruit that she had almost poked and threw it on the ground.
Take out two fruits with medium-level radiation and wrap them in a large leaf.
"Xiao Yuan, how many edible fruits did you find over there?" Zhang Jia asked Fang Yuan immediately after finishing collecting them.
She only found three edible ones, and all of them had moderate radiation.
So I want to know how lucky Fang Yuan is!
"Sister Zhang Jia, how many have you found? I only found two."
Knowing Fang Jia's gains, Fang Yuan immediately reported a smaller gain than hers.
The three stones Fang Jia held were in a very conspicuous position in front of her, making them difficult to steal; otherwise, she wouldn't have intended to leave them for her.
"Oh, is that so? I only found two too. It seems we're really unlucky," Zhang Jia said disappointedly.
I thought Fang Yuan would find more, but I didn't expect him to find fewer than her.
Looking at the large clump of fruit in front of her, she felt a pang of regret. If only they were all edible!
"We're really unlucky. These fruits are inedible and will affect next year's harvest if left on the tree. Let's pick them all!"
Looking at the woman in front of him who was lying without batting an eye, Fang Yuan sneered inwardly.
“That’s true, hopefully we can get more edible crops next year.” Zhang Jia nodded.
The two then picked all the fruit and threw it on the ground.
After the two had walked for a while, Fang Yuan took the opportunity to put the intact fruit into his spatial storage.
The two then walked for a while longer and arrived at the mutated sweet potato field.
"Xiaoyuan, we're here! Look, this is it!"
Zhang Jia looked happily at the familiar large leaves in front of her.
This is it. She and her father discovered this place last time, and she wanted to find an opportunity to dig it up.
But her father wouldn't allow it, saying that it would be dangerous if there were too few people, and told her to wait.
She felt that the sweet potatoes here could grow so big simply because it was so remote; if it were really dangerous, the sweet potato vines wouldn't have grown so large.
She brought Fang Yuan along because she knew Fang Yuan's brother was coming back, hoping Fang Yuan would speak well of her when she returned.
"So many leaves! These leaves look edible. If we could find a few edible ones, we could probably eat them for several meals!" Fang Yuan said, feigning excitement.
The original owner of this body is only fifteen years old. Her parents passed away unexpectedly three years ago, and her older brother has been taking care of her ever since.
She only started collecting these materials in the last two years.
So there are many things she doesn't recognize at all.
Zhang Jia looked at her and burst out laughing: "These are sweet potato leaves, didn't you notice? The sweet potatoes in the soil are the ones that can be used as staple food. We're here to dig up sweet potatoes."
As she introduced Fang Yuan to the woman, she secretly envied her good fortune.
Although she lived in a slum, she was always pampered. When she was a child, her parents doted on her, and after her parents passed away, her older brother still doted on her.
Unlike her, she's an only child.
After her mother died unexpectedly, she started learning to recognize food from her father when she was around ten years old.
"Are those sweet potatoes down there? Then I'll dig them up carefully!"
Fang Yuan happily took out the shovel from his basket.
Then, based on the location he sensed, he started digging.
"Then you dig here, I'll go to the other side. Be careful!"
Seeing that Fang Yuan had started digging, Zhang Jia quickly found a spot as well.
"I understand, thank you, Jiajia."
Fang Yuan dug with all his might with a shovel, but each shovel only created a small pit.
She then realized that her strength had not yet returned.
She dug for ages before finally finding a patch of sweet potatoes, and she didn't plan to dig any more now.
Although there was only one batch, the sweet potatoes were quite large.
Each one weighed about 20 or 30 pounds, even bigger than the winter melons from my previous life.
This sweet potato plant has seven fruits, only one of which is highly radioactive.
Of the other six, four are intermediate and two are elementary.
These weigh about 200 jin (100 catties) in total, which is quite a good harvest.
Fang Yuan left only two medium-radiation and one high-radiation sweet potatoes outside, and put the rest into his space.
Looking over at Zhang Jia, she was just taking a chance.
She's actually better than me; she's dug up a nest and a half and found three with moderate radiation.
They're over there having a great time!
Fang Yuan withdrew her gaze and looked at the huge hole in front of her that almost covered her head; she was having a hard time climbing up.
"System, can't you use your abilities to harvest the sweet potatoes underground for me too?"
Digging is too tiring; she hasn't regained her strength yet and really can't dig anymore.
The sweet potato roots are buried deep underground, and the host's mental strength is insufficient for the system to operate.
"Okay, I'll come back in a few days when I'm stronger."
As Fang Yuan spoke, he laboriously climbed out of the hole.
Just then, the system suddenly issued a notification.
[Host, there is a mutated wild boar 1,000 meters away]
"A mutated wild boar?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan quickly released his spiritual power.
Hmm? Can't detect it?
Damn it, she suddenly remembered that she was no longer the king she was in her previous life.
Mental strength only increases by a fixed amount of a few dozen meters, making it impossible to see what's happening a hundred meters away.
She looked around, then reached out and grabbed the sweet potato vine next door that hadn't been dug up yet.
Following the sweet potato vine, she soon found the wild boar, which was as big as an elephant.
"System, this wild boar is so big, do you think it has a crystal core inside it?" Fang Yuan asked doubtfully.
In my previous life, beasts of this size could all reach level two or three.
Although the names are different, there's a high probability they're involved; we'll find out once we kill them.
"Then could the power you simulated in your previous life scare it?" Fang Yuan asked again.
She's just a newbie right now, so she doesn't dare to actually go up and take on the challenge.
The system could simulate the majesty of a king in the previous life, so it should be able to do so in this life too, right?
[This is a radiation-mutated beast; the system can only give it a try.]
The system then unleashed its power using the same method as in the previous life.
The mutated wild boar paused for a moment, then slowly stopped, becoming restless and agitated.
But it didn't lie down.
