Chapter 7 Mutant Giant Lemon
Josh recalled that these small giant lemons seemed to be picked from the same tree.
Compared with other giant lemon trees, the tree looks much smaller and the fruits are much smaller than others. These small giant lemons are only the size of a thumb, while normal giant lemons are the size of an ordinary grapefruit.
Logically speaking, if they are all the same giant-fruit lemon trees, even if they are poorly managed and malnourished, this one should not be the only one to grow short and have mini fruits.
Moreover, the taste is sweet and sour, which is very different from the normal giant lemon. It must be a problem with the tree.
Josh thought about it and realized that the giant lemon was a very mature edible and medicinal magic fruit tree. Generally speaking, it would not hybridize with other ordinary fruit trees.
In the orchard at the back, many native plants of the forest have grown. There may be wild magic fruit trees in it. We need to go and take a closer look.
But after thinking for a while, the sky had already darkened and a cold wind began to blow.
Sensing that the weather was about to change, Josh quickly cleared the dishes, cleaned the pots and pans, quickly washed up, and got into bed.
As expected, it rained.
It was not convenient for Qiao Xi to go to the orchard on rainy days because the road leading there had not been repaired and it would definitely be muddy wherever he walked.
However, this rain was what Qiao Xi had been looking forward to. Taro bamboo grows very quickly when it rains. Once the rain comes, Qiao Xi will be able to pick taro sprouts in less than half a month.
It was raining and I couldn't go to the fields, so I went into the city to see where I could rent a Iron-beaked Woodpecker. I had to get rid of the Greedy Longicorn Beetle as soon as possible.
It is spring, the season when fruit trees grow and sprout. The longer you delay, the greater the loss.
The Weiguang Farm is located in a remote area, so Qiao Xi could only put on a raincoat, sit on a big-tailed yak, and walk slowly over.
It’s not that the big-tailed yak can’t run away. It’s just that it has been well fed and rested these days. The main reason is that Josh’s butt has surrendered.
When running on the cow's back, it was bouncing back and forth, and Qiao Xi felt like her butt was about to break. She could only walk slowly.
Besides, the weather was too cold. When he started running, the cold wind blew on Josh's face. Who could bear that?
It was already noon when Qiao Xi arrived at Chaoyang City. Although it is called a city, it is actually just a large settlement. It does not have a complete urban structure like other cities.
Everything here is prepared for the development of war.
The main suppliers of farmers like Josh are the major pioneering corps and free pioneer fighters.
At the signal from the guards, Josh got off the cow and walked into the street holding the reins.
As expected of a pioneering city, there were quite a few monsters of all sizes, but most people carried weakly aggressive auxiliary monsters, and overly violent monsters were not allowed to be released.
Qiao Xi pulled the big-tailed yak, carefully avoiding passers-by and vehicles.
There are all kinds of magic fruit shops, pharmacies and equipment stores on both sides of the street, and even some that rent out large mechanical equipment.
This world relies heavily on monsters, and this kind of large machinery is rare, so Josh also went over to take a look at the excitement.
After searching around, I still couldn't find anywhere that rented out iron-beaked woodpeckers. All I could find were wild bulls, elf monkeys and the like.
Josh scratched his head, feeling like he had forgotten something.
Oh, right! I should have gone to the free market. How could I have forgotten about it?
Chaoyang City is a pioneering city. The place with the most goods and the richest variety is not on the streets, but in the free market.
Qiao Xi led the big-tailed yak and hurried to the free market.
Sure enough, the closer you get to the development point, the more stalls of all sizes you see on the roadside.
"Bobo Chicken, Bobo Chicken, One Hundred Bobo Chickens"
《Delicious and inexpensive, double the effect - exclusive nutrient solution》
Renting myself out for 200 yuan a day
…………
It’s a big city indeed, there are so many things to do.
Soon, Qiao Xi found a stall that said "Professional insect exterminator, part-time mail delivery".
Standing on the stall owner's shoulder was an iron-beaked woodpecker, with its pale yellow crown standing upright and its straight beak shining silver even on the cloudy day. It was obvious that it was well-bred.
Josh walked over and asked politely, "Excuse me, how much does it cost to rent a woodpecker?"
Seeing the customer, Buda immediately became excited: "Excuse me, are you catching insects or delivering letters? The prices for these two are different.
Letters can only be sent to places near Chaoyang City. If they are too far away, the Iron-beaked Woodpecker will not be able to find the place and you will need to look for the Spread-winged Pigeon or the Spotted-tailed Vulture.
When catching insects, there are two types of prices, one for those who want the dead insects and the other for those who don’t. The prices are also different.”
"I'm an insect catcher. I don't want the dead bodies. I want to catch longhorn beetles. But you need me to check the entire forest." Qiao Xi answered quickly.
The corpses of Warcraft can also be sold for money. The carapace and tentacles of the greedy longhorn beetle are brightly colored and have some additional effects such as glowing and dazzling.
It is made into an enlightenment toy and is very popular among wealthy families.
"Greedy longicorn beetle? Sure, if you don't want the corpse, each one will only cost eighty federal points. How big is it? Did you see it?" Buda agreed to the deal immediately.
If you don't want the corpse, you can let the iron-beaked woodpecker eat it, which will not only train your combat skills but also replenish your nutrition.
The 80 points earned can be considered as snacks, and the price of a greedy longhorn beetle is more than that.
"I'm not sure how many there are, so I can only ask Iron-beaked Woodpecker to check. Then how can we contact each other? If it doesn't rain tomorrow, I would like to ask you to go tomorrow morning."
Two hundred federal points was beyond Josh's expectation. Although he thought it would be cheaper without the corpse, this man's Iron-beaked Woodpecker looked well-bred, and he didn't expect it to be so affordable.
Buda chuckled, noticing Qiao Xi's surprise, "This is my dad's monster. He came with me to make some pocket money. It's cheap and good!"
"Do you have a communicator? I'll add you. You send me your location. I'll have the Iron-beaked Woodpecker arrive on time at 8 a.m. tomorrow."
A communicator? Qiao Xi's brain short-circuited. She really didn't have one.
Qiao Xi doesn't have any relatives or friends, and she doesn't have anyone she needs to contact on a daily basis. She really hasn't understood this.
Seeing Qiao Xi choking, Buda was also shocked. There were still people in Chaoyang City who didn't know about the communicator.
"Can you wait for me? I'll go buy it now." Josh asked awkwardly.
"It's okay, it's okay. Go buy it, I'll wait for you here." Buda waved his hand, indicating that he would wait for her here, and pointed to the store selling the communicator for Qiao Xi.
The communicator is like a low-end version of a mobile phone. After Qiao Xi traveled through time and space, she learned about it and thought it was a mobile phone, which made her excited. However, after learning more about it, she realized that it was not even as good as Xiao Tiancai's phone watch, which made her very disappointed and she never bought one.
But it's been a long time, I don't know if there are any new changes in the communicator now.
Josh walked over. There were quite a few people in the small machinery shop. Josh walked to the counter and looked at the communicator.
It’s really fancy and has many more new features than before.
