Chapter 46 The Forgotten Seed
Li Sijing quickly finished making 33 chive boxes, keeping 13 for herself and sending the other 20 to Zhou Qinghuan.
"I promised you the leek dumplings." With that, Li Sijing began cleaning up the mess.
Zhou Qinghuan always replied to messages very quickly. "Wow, so many! Thank you, sister."
Thinking about the distorted views made in the area earlier, and Zhou Qinghuan's soft and cute personality, Li Sijing couldn't help but give her some advice.
"Be careful during the competition later. If you encounter other people on the way, try to avoid them."
"Okay, thank you for your concern, sister," Zhou Qinghuan replied obediently.
After a busy morning, Li Sijing prepared to rest after tidying up the car.
She cut the frozen watermelon in half, held one half, and scooped it out with a spoon. The gritty texture made her squint her eyes.
only……
Li Sijing stared blankly at the watermelon seeds scattered among the red flesh of the watermelon.
She suddenly remembered that many fruit seeds grow inside fruits, but they are so common that they are often overlooked.
For example, the watermelon in front of us, the watermelon seeds inside should also be considered seeds!
If she collects them and plants them in a pot, they should be able to grow into watermelons!
So there's no need for her to keep waiting to open the box and get the seeds. Actually, many plants come with their own seeds!
And the apple she opened on the first day also had seeds inside, but unfortunately she threw it away.
And there were all the scallions, ginger, and garlic she used up, and the blueberries she used to make ice cream yesterday...
As she thought about it, she couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. Why hadn't she thought of it before? How much had she missed!
Next, Li Sijing ate the watermelon carefully, as if afraid of accidentally biting into the seeds.
She plans to collect these watermelon seeds and plant them tomorrow, which would allow her to enjoy watermelons freely.
In the regional channel, everyone was still discussing the competition. She glanced at it a few times and found nothing particularly interesting.
After carefully studying the event rules and reading other people's chats.
Her worries lessened by half, since the event was called a 'competition'.
Ultimately, it's all about speed. With her upgraded car, she doesn't think anyone can outrun her.
It's a bit of a shame that her electric fan and sunshade suddenly became unsellable.
The temperature outside the car is 55 degrees Celsius, which should be the peak season for cooling products.
However, the event that suddenly appeared clearly stated that points could be redeemed for air conditioners, so everyone hesitated.
Although I don't know how many points I need to redeem an air conditioner, what if I can get enough points!
People are always full of anticipation for the unknown.
Cooling products were not selling well, but everyone rushed to buy other things instead.
Li Sijing went to take a look and discovered that Liu Yizhou, a major meat seller, had started up again.
He's selling lion meat, at the same price as yesterday, but the quantity is decreasing rapidly.
Did they kill the large wild beast that appeared today? Was it that ferocious?
Having heard that lion meat wasn't very tasty, Li Sijing thought for a moment and decided not to buy it, mainly because she didn't know how to cook it.
Just as I finished watching the commotion here, several more people selling meat appeared on the channel.
Tiger meat, hippopotamus meat, zebra meat...
Li Sijing spotted a familiar face among them, Wu Aiguo. It seemed that these powerful people had already taken action.
Should she go and try it too? Li Sijing looked out the car window and saw a black bear that had appeared by the roadside at some point.
Looking at the black bear's thick fur and two strong paws, she shook her head.
Forget it, wake up. This is not something she can handle. Anyway, she has enough to eat and drink, so she might as well just lie low!
Seeing that everyone in the regional channel was discussing selling meat, she switched gears and prepared to check her private messages.
In the past two days, she has posted a lot of purchase requests, including tools and ingredients for making ice cream, as well as farm tools and the like, but she doesn't know if she has received any replies.
After searching for a while, I managed to trade for two useful items.
A 3x3 sheet of parchment was exchanged for 3 soda crackers, and a pair of white work gloves cost 2 soda crackers.
He finished half a watermelon in one go, and then carefully collected and put away the watermelon seeds.
Just as Li Sijing was about to open the two resource boxes she had received that morning, the car stopped again.
Upon seeing something in the distance, Li Sijing's eyes narrowed: a blue intermediate resource box.
After grabbing her weapon and applying cooling patches, she got out of the car.
She couldn't challenge large beasts, but she was quite confident in dealing with small ones.
Three steps from the resource box, white mist filled the air, and the animal gradually appeared—it was a turtle!
The turtle's shell is two meters long, and with its head and tail included, it's estimated to be three meters long.
This tortoise crawled very slowly, unlike the other animals we had encountered before.
After waiting for a long time, the tortoise still hadn't crawled to her feet, so Li Sijing tentatively shot out an arrow.
This turtle moves slowly, but its head-retracting motion is as swift as lightning.
The arrow aimed at the turtle's head missed, landing on the road and sparking a string of fire.
Seeing that the turtle didn't stick out its head or legs for a long time, remaining completely retracted inside its shell and motionless, she was speechless.
She tried shooting an arrow at the tortoise shell again, and just as she expected, it left no trace.
The current situation is that the tortoise is slow-moving and can't beat her, but she can't do anything about the tortoise either!
With such an almost invincible defense, is it even necessary to continue fighting? Or, could she just take the resource boxes and leave?
Feeling unwilling to give up, Li Sijing decided to try a different weapon.
Forget about the Tang sword; judging by the hardness of this tortoise shell, she couldn't possibly break it with just a knife.
I don't know if the stun gun will work. Almost all animals are afraid of electricity, so its shell probably can't protect it!
With the stun gun pressed against the edge of the turtle shell, Li Sijing tentatively pressed the button. If it didn't work, she would leave.
She had been holding it in for about half a minute when, just as she was about to give up, she suddenly noticed that the turtle shell vibrated slightly.
Is this working? Li Sijing was overjoyed and decided to continue trying.
After a full five minutes, the stun gun was almost completely drained of power, and Li Sijing finally received good news.
[Congratulations to the player for killing a beast turtle. Would you like to dismantle it?]
[Obtained one tortoise shell.]
Upon entering the game world, I encountered several wild beasts. Today's turtle wasn't the most dangerous, but it was the most time-consuming and boring one.
For this turtle, she even ruined her stun gun, which was her most useful weapon besides her crossbow.
After all that effort, all I got was a tortoise shell, and I had no idea what it was for.
