Li Qingyu hadn't expected this either...
These rice paddies are... freaking vast!
Half an hour passed, and Li Qingyu still couldn't see the end of the oasis.
No wonder he's always at the top of the charts...
With an area like this, even a combine harvester would probably be smoking while harvesting.
But he really didn't do much, except that before the oasis was planted, he had Erha prepare some sand scorpion fertilizer to supplement the oasis's initial growth nutrients.
After growing up in the Oasis, Li Qingyu basically stopped paying attention to it.
The only thing they did was have Qiqi scatter some firecracker rice seeds, turning their oasis from lush green grass into golden rice paddies.
Li Qingyu neither fertilized nor watered the oasis, leaving it entirely to its own devices.
Could it be... Kiki's role?
Is the spirit of nature, which has existed for millennia, truly terrifying, capable of expanding the oasis without any sustenance?
That shouldn't be the case...
Li Qingyu walked forward a while longer, and the roaring sound in his ears grew louder and louder.
Finally, Li Qingyu saw the end of the oasis, where the rice paddies met the desert.
After seeing the scene at the border.
Li Qingyu finally understood the reason for the rapid expansion of his own oasis.
Ahead, at the boundary, golden rice paddies and yellow desert were fiercely intertwined and consuming each other.
A moment later... the yellow desert, bombarded by countless ears of rice, submerged vast rice paddies...
Soon... countless rice seedlings rapidly grew again in the flooded areas, covering the yellow desert in turn...
Although the two sides are fiercely competing, wearing each other down.
Overall, however, the growth rate of rice paddies is faster than the rate at which deserts are engulfing them.
Li Qingyu blinked and continued forward.
Upon closer inspection, Li Qingyu realized...
This isn't some desert swallowing up rice paddies...
It was clearly a sea of yellow rats, densely packed and varying in size, that resembled the color of the desert, frantically assaulting the rice paddies.
Although the rat swarm's attack seemed incredibly brave and fearless, under the relentless bombardment of the rice paddies, every fallen rice stalk killed even more rats.
These rats, as if committing suicide, slowly provide nutrients for the rice paddies to expand outwards, bit by bit using their flesh and blood and lives.
That's right, after leaving Pineapple Castle, Li Qingyu neither chose the direction of the silver treasure chest nor the direction of the pretty little witch.
Instead, they chose the direction that Crimson had indicated, where a large group of rats were coming to harvest the rice.
It's not that Li Qingyu has any strange fetishes, that he doesn't love treasures and beautiful women, but instead likes rats.
The reason is that in the other two directions, the deep red color only indicates that the distance is not far, but does not provide a clear distance indication.
No one knows exactly how "not far" Crimson expresses; Li Qingyu was tricked before.
Moreover, Li Qingyu would not stray too far from his own oasis unless he was absolutely certain of success.
What if he runs too far and someone else takes over Pineapple Castle? Where will he go to complain?
Even if the possibility is slim, Li Qingyu doesn't want to take risks for something that isn't very important.
After much deliberation, Li Qingyu decided to check on the rats that Shen Hong had mentioned, and also to see just how far his oasis had spread.
After all, it's our own oasis, so it's always good to know the specifics.
Li Qingyu wanted to see...
How on earth do these rats manage to harvest the rice from the firecracker rice paddies? They're incredibly brave! Even if Li Qingyu were to harvest it in a tank, he wouldn't dare.
Incidentally, Li Qingyu also wanted to see if the rats on Saha Star had anything like magic cores. If they did, he could get another round of evolution points.
Leaving aside the fact that evolution points enhance strength, the feeling of opening a blind box alone is enough to make Li Qingyu unable to resist.
If it weren't for the items that come with Pineapple Castle, using evolution points would be a huge waste.
Li Qingyu really wanted to evolve the big bed in the bedroom, the sofa in the living room, the rice cooker in the kitchen, and the toilet in the bathroom to see what kind of things could be evolved.
Unfortunately... Li Qingyu can only think about it now, but it wouldn't be bad to save up more evolution points and use them after the competition ends and he returns to Blue Star.
There will be even more choices then: computers, game consoles, dolls, cucumbers, and so on—just thinking about it is exciting!!
Therefore, in order to prevent not being able to find the energy to power Crimson after returning to Earth, Li Qingyu decided to acquire as many evolution points as possible within the thirty days of the competition.
As Li Qingyu gradually approached the edge of the area, he finally saw the rat's specific characteristics.
Gerbil

General Germall

...
In the vast sea of rats, Li Qingyu had only seen these three types of rats for the time being, and had not yet seen the fourth type of rat appear.
If distinguished by size, from smallest to largest, they are gerbils, gerbil chief, and gerbil general.
Among them, the gerbil general is the largest, and when it lies there, it is much taller than firecrackers and rice paddies, making it look extremely fierce.
However, compared to the sand scorpions that Li Qingyu encountered, they were still insignificant.
As for the smallest gerbil, it's similar to an ordinary rat on Earth. Although it looks fierce, Li Qingyu felt that kicking it away wouldn't be a problem at all.
The size of the gerbil head is somewhere in between, about half the height of the firecracker rice.
Li Qingyu was puzzled as he watched the gerbils frantically throwing their lives away.
Is it really necessary...?
Just because... mice love rice?
By the way, are there any rice grains in the firecracker rice?
Li Qingyu huddled in the rice paddy with his husky, quietly watching the battlefield ahead for a while.
Then, Li Qingyu felt...
The firecracker rice paddy actually seems to contain rice, and the gerbils are definitely after the rice.
First, through observation, Li Qingyu discovered that not all rice ears in the firecracker rice crop exploded.
Because Li Qingyu saw...
Some firecracker rice plants, after being thrown several times with exploding rice ears, will not be thrown out again, even if there are still rice ears hanging on them.
Instead, they will wait until new rice ears grow before continuing the bombing.
Secondly, even if the rice stalks of the firecracker rice are quickly bitten off by gerbils, the rice will not explode even if the explosive rice ears are not thrown out.
Instead, it seemed to have completely lost its explosive power, turning into ordinary rice, which was then dismantled, packed up, and transported away in batches by the gerbils.
I just don't know... where it's being shipped to...
