Chapter 159 Distribution of Seeds
"I'm fine. Don't think I'm so weak." E Ling said, looking at the seeds classified in front of her, "What kind of seeds are there? I want to take some back to plant."
There were more than a dozen kinds of seeds on display, and the shapes of these seeds were a little different from what she knew in modern times. Without a professional to introduce them to her, she really didn't know how to start.
Although she had the system to assist her, she could clearly tell what the seeds were and what they were used for by just scanning them with the system, which might be much clearer than what Changze introduced.
But since Changze is here, there is no need for her to use the system. Males also need to be relied on and needed occasionally. Moreover, Changze is a gentle, tolerant and considerate male who makes E Ling feel relaxed and enjoyable just talking to him.
But Mo Lin showed doubt and worry when he heard E Ling's words: "A Ling, you want to farm? Farming is very hard work, and females can't stand doing this. If you want to plant something, just tell me to plant it. Don't try to do it alone, okay?"
Xiaoguai also said: "How can you do such rough work? Sister, I am young, strong and obedient. Can you ask me to help you? Although I have never planted before, I will learn it once I learn it. I will definitely be able to grow what you like to eat!"
Changze also frowned slightly, but he did not directly refute E Ling's idea, but said:
"Ling, if you are worried about the shortage of vegetables and food, you don't have to worry about that. Every year, a group of orcs are arranged in the north to grow crops to supply the royal family. You are a rare female in the Beast City and can fully enjoy the treatment of the royal family. If you need any vegetables and food, I can arrange for someone to deliver them to you immediately. I also don't want you to be too tired because of farming. Not only I, but your other partners will also worry about you."
The other male orcs who were still in line also advised out of concern for E Ling:
"Yes, beautiful female, farming is too hard, females can't do it."
"Beautiful female, if you need food, I will give you the crops I grow every year first, so you don't have to do such hard work."
"Beautiful female, I am willing to do so too. I grow a lot of beets every year. They are sweet and big in size. All the females who have eaten them like them very much..."
"..."
Some orcs even took the opportunity to start promoting the products they grew. Not only did they give them away for free, they were even willing to pay for the services of such beautiful females.
When Xiaoguai heard this, he immediately held E Ling in his arms and stared at the males, saying, "Don't have any evil ideas! My female doesn't need the gifts you guys give her! It's enough for her to have us take care of her!"
Then he said to E Ling: "Sister, don't listen to them. All males are bad. Don't accept their kindness easily. I am stronger than them. Can you use me?"
E Ling was a little speechless by this scene. She laughed: "Mo Lin, Xiaoguai, and Changze...you are making a fuss. I don't plant a lot. I just want to simply open a small piece of land behind the house to grow some vegetables. It won't be tiring. Besides, farming is to do it yourself to have a sense of accomplishment. Why ask others to get seeds for me?"
"A Ling, you always say such bravado. I have seen some orcs farming. It is very time-consuming and energy-consuming. Orcs need to stay in the fields all day long. Not only do they have to endure wind and sun every day, but they also have to deal with possible wild beasts that may destroy their crops from time to time. How can it not be hard work?" Mo Lin said with a frown.
When Xiaoguai heard this, his expression changed.
"Ah? No, that won't work. If it's really that hard, I won't let you do this no matter what. Don't blame me for not listening."
"Mo Lin, my dear, it really shouldn't be that serious..."
She just wants to grow some vegetables to eat, not to reclaim the Great Northern Wilderness!
"This is the Beast City. There won't be any wild beasts here, and I don't have to guard the land every day. It will be enough to spend some time to take care of it. And you guys are here too, can you help me when the time comes? Otherwise, I will be bored with nothing to do in the Beast City every day..."
E Ling held Mo Lin and Xiao Guai's hands and tried to persuade them in every possible way.
Mo Lin and Xiaoguai's expressions wavered.
Seeing that E Ling insisted, Chang Ze had no choice but to say, "Ling, I will help you after I finish the blessing festival. I know how to plant these seeds."
As he said that, Changze took Eling to pick seeds.
Some of these seeds are vegetables and some are crops.
Most of the vegetables were kinds she had never seen before. There was a kind of beet. Eling thought it was the big-headed beet that could be made into sugar, but she didn't expect it to be the modern choy sum.
There is also a vegetable called green mushroom, which is similar to broccoli, but not many orcs need green mushroom because its growing conditions are too demanding in terms of temperature. It cannot grow if the weather is too cold or too hot. It also tastes tasteless, so females don't like it.
Eling also discovered a crop similar to corn, but Changze said that this crop was a bit troublesome to eat. It needed to be cut into small pieces before it could be eaten, and it was hard to chew. Eling was stunned after hearing this. She really doubted whether the people in the Beast World could eat both the leaves and the stems.
However, she basically didn't want to avoid any of the vegetables, so she ordered some of them all. She loved Chinese cabbage, so she asked for an extra bag.
The varieties of crops are relatively simple, mostly wheat and a small part rice. The seeds of these crops have not sprouted yet. The shells of the toon can be crushed into powder or cooked into rice. E Ling asked for more, thinking that it would improve the food.
When I took the small animal skin belt containing the seeds from Changze, I suddenly heard the system's cheerful announcement:
"Congratulations to the host for successfully collecting 20 kinds of seeds! The host is rewarded with 400 points! If the host plants these seeds and obtains a certain harvest, an additional and more generous reward will be triggered! Please keep up the good work and work hard to improve the life in the world of beasts!"
E Ling: "??? I don't remember receiving any mission notification to collect seeds."
019: "This is a randomly triggered task. Isn't it nice to get 400 points for free?"
E Ling: "... Well, it does smell good. You haven't given me any tasks recently, so I don't have any points left after upgrading to the Level 2 system."
019: "You're going to suffer for it even if it's not hard? You'll be in trouble later^_^."
E Ling: "...divine gold."
After kicking 019 away, E Ling found that Changze had been staring at her, his ears were red, he seemed to want to say something but stopped, and his expression was a little nervous.
He rarely behaved abnormally like this, which made E Ling ask, "What's wrong with you?"
"Um... Ling, the couple-forming ceremony will begin tomorrow. Will you... participate?"
Even Nagasawa's tone became somewhat uncomfortable.
Although they had already had an agreement between them, and although Nagasawa had rehearsed it many times in private, he was still a little nervous when the moment was about to arrive.
Seeing Changze's reaction, E Ling quickly understood what was going on.
Nagasawa was planning to propose to her during the couple-forming ceremony.
She nodded, and said with a bit of blush, "I will stay till the end."
The implication is that she will wait for him...
Nagasawa breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey.
With her words, he felt relieved.
Xiaoguai, who was standing by, watched the interaction between Eling and Changze. He was usually noisy, but now he was surprisingly quiet. It was unclear whether he understood the meaning of what Changze and Eling said.
