Chapter 116 Where are the Magical Plants?
Qiao Manman stir-fried shredded pork with garlic sauce, made lettuce with oyster sauce, and stewed beef and potatoes in a pot.
I don't know what's wrong with the system, but I have a lot of ingredients to sign in for, but very few are actually cooked.
Every time Qiao Manman cooks in her spatial dimension, she makes extra-large portions. She eats some and stores some up.
I'm afraid that one day I won't be able to cook and will go hungry, or that I'll be eating simple meals all the time and crave something sweet.
After sending the excess food back into the still space, Qiao Manman slowly began to eat.
The exasperated voices of the thieves could be heard from time to time, which Qiao Manman found quite amusing.
But as she laughed, her laughter faded. The people outside were so persistent; they must have succeeded before.
We don't know how many victims they have, or whether anyone has died.
Just as I was thinking that, the system's voice came from the space: "Congratulations, host, merit points +10!"
Qiao Manman was stunned for a moment: "Uh-huh, what's going on? Did my grandpa succeed?"
"Yes, host. With the old man's help, one of him is worth ten of yours. He only spent a few days and earned two months' worth of your merits!"
Qiao Manman could certainly hear its dissatisfaction, but what could she do?
She was just a high school graduate from a remote mountain village. Who would believe she had a miracle drug, except for those who were desperate?
Qiao Lingyue is different. He comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and has also studied abroad. He combines Chinese and Western medicine, making him an authority wherever he goes.
Qiao Manman didn't dwell on it. She thanked Grandpa Fan in her heart and happily signed in.
She used up all the sign-in attempts she had saved up over ten days and discovered that on the day she earned merit points, the chance of signing in for special items really did increase.
"Congratulations, host. You have obtained one cubic meter of supplies, one fertility pill, one truth-revealing talisman, and one acre of mutated corn."
"Congratulations, host. You have obtained one cubic meter of supplies, one fertility pill, one lightning-attracting talisman, and one acre of mutated sweet potatoes."
"Congratulations, host. You have obtained one cubic meter of supplies, one fertility pill, one marrow cleansing pill, and one acre of mutated soybeans."
"Congratulations, host. You have obtained one cubic meter of supplies, one fertility pill, one packet of itching powder, and one acre of seawater fishpond."
"Congratulations, host. You have obtained one cubic meter of supplies, one fertility pill, one bottle of scar removal cream, and one acre of freshwater fishpond."
In addition, there are Dream Talisman, Stroke Talisman, Flame Stone, Frost Jade, Water-Repelling Bead, one acre of mutated ginseng, and one acre of mutated watermelon.
"Hmm, a mutated watermelon?"
As soon as Qiao Manman finished speaking, the white mist beside the rice paddy began to swirl, and gradually, the dark earth and various plants appeared.
All the plants grew neatly and orderly, as if they had been carefully cultivated, remaining at the perfect moment for harvest.
Qiao Manman walked around curiously, feeling more wonderful than ever before.
These corn plants are incredibly tall, easily over ten meters high.
The yield is also exceptionally high. The ears, one meter long and half a meter thick, grow diagonally between the second and fifth leaves, with each stalk bearing at least three ears of corn.
Because they are so tall, they are not planted densely.
Qiao Manman walked under the mutated corn, as if she had entered some kind of jungle.
It is surrounded by green stems about the thickness of a bowl, and topped with green leaves the size of a door panel.
"My God, this is too amazing! What era are you from?"
The system is silent.
Qiao Manman didn't expect it to give a coherent explanation, so she used her mental energy to wrap around one of the ears of corn and forcefully pulled it down.
Peeling back the thick outer skin, I found corn kernels the size of grapefruits inside. They were very plump and varied in color.
Qiao Manman thought it was colored corn and didn't pay much attention. She walked forward to examine the other crops.
The mutated sweet potato leaves were large and lay flat on the ground without leaving any gaps.
Using a hoe to dig through the soft soil, they discovered five or six sweet potatoes, each the size of a pumpkin, hidden under a vine.
The peel is a deep purplish-red, and looks especially tempting.
Like mutant wheat and rice, the mutant soybeans are as tall as a person, with thick, long, and particularly hard pods.
Surrounded by other plants, it appears quite ordinary.
What else? Watermelons. Each one was the size of a bathtub, and Qiao Manman estimated they must weigh two or three hundred pounds.
Of course, what surprised her the most was that acre of ginseng.
I used to only see images of ginseng on TV, but now I can see it in person.
In the very center of the one-acre plot, there was a ginseng king that was distinctly different from the others.
Why is it called the King of Ginseng? Because it has the largest leaves and the most red fruits.
Qiao Manman waded through the ginseng leaves and walked to the very center.
The ginseng king's leaves trembled, as if afraid she would do something to harm it.
Qiao Manman laughed: "Oh, it's quite intelligent!"
Don't worry, I'll just observe. I won't lay a finger on you unless absolutely necessary.
Of course, if necessary, it should be uprooted completely.
As if it understood, the ginseng king unfurled its leaves. Qiao Manman reached out and touched it, then looked down and discovered that the exposed section of ginseng was actually purple.
"Could it be the legendary Purple Jade Dragon King Ginseng?"
No way, no way, they really came all the way here to do a physical transformation for her?
Could these few acres of land be some fairy's back garden?
Qiao Manman trembled for two seconds, then decided to let things take their course.
Since the system has already bound it to her, these things belong to her.
Ask her to return it? Absolutely not!
After all, a scholar can be killed, but not impoverished!
Qiao Manman turned her head and glanced at the fishpond, and found that there were already quite a few fish living in it.
You can find almost anything commonly available on the market here, so there's no need to go to the beach to buy anything.
Qiao Manman dragged the corn cob back to the deck chair and peeled two kernels off it.
One red and one purple; I plan to cook them and try them out.
The system quickly reminded: "Host, wait a minute, those two are not suitable for you."
You eat the white, yellow, blue, green, and transparent ones!
Qiao Manman paused for a moment, glanced at the corn kernels in her hand, and felt there was nothing wrong with them.
Suddenly, a scene from a novel flashed through my mind, and I tentatively asked, "Tongtong, these two things, they're not fire and lightning type corn kernels, are they?"
The system laughed heartily: "Host, you're really smart!"
Qiao Manman held the corn kernels up to her eyes and examined them closely, only to find that apart from their large size and beautiful color, there was nothing particularly special about them.
How do it have attributes? Where is the energy hidden?
Although she didn't understand, Qiao Manman listened to the advice.
I put two corn kernels into the still space, then broke off a green one and put it in a pot to cook.
Before long, a rich aroma of corn filled the air. Qiao Manman couldn't help but swallow.
Fifteen minutes later, Qiao Manman scooped out the corn kernels and put them on a plate.
Holding a knife in one hand and a fork in the other, once the corn is secured, a gentle slicing motion cuts it off.
It was the same color inside and out, even the germ was a tender green. Qiao Manman leaned closer to smell it; besides the corn scent, there was also a fresh, grassy fragrance.
Qiao Manman picked it up with a fork, blew on it, and put it in her mouth.
I discovered that in addition to being sweeter than regular corn, it was also smooth and tender.
Maybe it's because she doesn't look familiar enough, but she really likes it.
