Chapter 10 This land is really not that easy to grow
Wei Heng's reaction was a bit strange, Gu Xi withdrew his power and looked back at him.

Wei Heng walked up to her, and joked, "It seems that I'm lucky, and I'll be able to eat soft food just around the corner."

Gu Xi's gaze shifted from his clear eyes to his thin and pale face, after thinking for a while, he asked earnestly, "Can you cook?"

Wei Heng: "...?"

Gu Xi seriously explained: "It's fine for me to farm and support you, but I'm not good at cooking."

In fact, Gu Xi didn't even know which way to open the kitchen door.

Her survival skills in the wild are very strong, but culinary skills... it is about the same as cooking things directly with fire-type abilities.

Anyway, if the poison doesn't kill you.

As for the taste... In the last days when supplies are scarce and precarious, it is good to be able to find something to eat, who cares about that?

Probably because her expression was too serious at this time, Wei Heng thought for a while, but he was not sure: "My cooking skills...should be okay?"

Gu Xi glanced at him, said nothing, turned back to the container, and brought the bag of sweet potato seeds.

Picking out the one with the highest activity, and silently plundering the violent and strange energy, Gu Xi began to activate the wood-type ability to stimulate the sprouts...

She read the planting information of sweet potatoes last night and knew how to grow sweet potatoes.

After the clumps of sprouts that had been stimulated grew into potato seedlings about a foot long, she withdrew her power, then found a machete from the cloth bag, swung it down, and the potato seedlings fell to the ground.

Then the small green sprouts on her fingertips instantly swelled into a rattan whip of about three meters. When the whip swept over, the potato seedlings scattered on the ground flew in a mess in all directions.

Then it fell to the ground and took root, and with the blessing of wood-type abilities, it crawled all over the fields at an extremely fast speed...

The whole process is as smooth as flowing clouds and flowing water, it can be said to be simple and rude, and very effective.

Wei Heng, who had just found the big scissors to cut potato seedlings, silently threw the big scissors back.

He glanced at Gu Xi, didn't say anything, but walked towards the farming machine with a slightly heavy footstep. ——It is said that you are working together to farm the land, so you have to find some work for yourself, right?

But before he climbed onto the farming machine, Wei Heng saw the ground under his feet start to swell silently...

Seeing the big sweet potatoes being dug out of the ground one by one, Wei Heng was silent again: How can such a delicate and weak girl be so simple and rude when planting the ground?

He couldn't figure it out.

But soon, he didn't have time to think about these messy things.

Wei Heng looked at the numbers displayed on the portable measuring instrument, and then glanced at the big sweet potato in his hand, he was stunned!
Originally, he just wanted to test whether the coefficient of variation of these oversized sweet potatoes grown in a simple and rude way was within the edible range, but he didn't expect...

After a beep, the number on the measuring instrument was finally fixed at 0.5!

This is the first time Wei Heng has seen a plant with such a low coefficient of variation!
Wei Heng glanced at Gu Xi, then bent down to pick up a few other big sweet potatoes for inspection.

0.5, 0.6, 0.4... The coefficients of variation of these sweet potatoes are all within 1!

Such things can be sold at sky-high prices in the central base!

"Gu Xi..." Wei Heng's eyes were amazingly bright at this moment, he didn't even realize that his voice was trembling slightly.

He turned his head to look at Gu Xi, only to find that Gu Xi was staring at the sweet potato field in front of him, frowning slightly.

Wei Heng:?
Gu Xi felt that the problem was a bit serious.

Before she germinated, she had already eliminated the violent energy in the sweet potato seeds, and she also compressed the entire planting process to the extreme.

It only took a few minutes from the time when the sweet potato seedlings fell to the ground to when the batch of sweet potatoes matured.

But those weird energies still appeared.

They seemed to appear out of thin air, and then entered the bodies of these plants at an extremely fast speed...

It's hard to guard against the ghosts and ghosts.These eight words suddenly appeared in Gu Xi's mind.

It seems that this land is not so easy to grow.

Gu Xi sighed for a long time, picked up a few big sweet potatoes and stuffed them into Wei Heng's hands: "Let's cook, I'm hungry."

"..." Wei Heng, who was originally full of complicated thoughts, suddenly became a cook.

After half an hour.

Holding the fragrant, sweet, soft and glutinous steamed sweet potatoes in his hands, Wei Heng sighed contentedly: "This thing with a low coefficient of variation has a different taste! It's so delicious!"

"Gu Xi, I've never eaten such a delicious sweet potato! This taste is absolutely amazing!" Wei Heng gave a thumbs up.

Gu Xi: "..." How can I tell you that the reason why these sweet potatoes are so delicious is because I cleaned them again with my supernatural power before putting them into the pot?

"In the future, we will grow more and more delicious things." Gu Xi nodded and said seriously.

After finishing this simple lunch, Wei Heng drove her back to the house to rest, while he turned around to tidy up the improvised kitchen.

——He could see that the little girl's abilities were not strong, she was only about three or four levels, and she had just forcefully planted such a large piece of sweet potatoes, she must have been exhausted long ago.

Gu Xi glanced at him and didn't refuse - the division of labor and cooperation is very good.

After tidying up the kitchen, Wei Heng looked up at Gu Xi's container house. After a while of silence, he clicked on his personal terminal.

……

Gu Xi didn't have the habit of taking a nap, so he just lay down on the bed for a while, rested his mind, and went out.

Wei Heng was squatting on the ground to pick up sweet potatoes in the field.

Seeing Gu Xi coming out, he patted the mud on his hands and said with a smile, "Are you awake? Why don't you sleep more?"

"I can't sleep." She walked over slowly.

The sweet potatoes on the ground have been cleaned up by Wei Heng, only some sweet potato vines are still scattered on the ground.

Gu Xi stared at those sweet potato vines for a while, and suddenly asked Wei Heng: "Didn't you say there are people above you? Can you find a way to get some little chickens?"

After a pause, he added, "Or a little piggy." She didn't pick anything, as long as it was a mutated animal.

Wei Heng glanced at her in surprise, threw the last few sweet potatoes into the basket beside him, waved his hand and said, "I can't get that..."

In recent years, although the state encourages everyone to go out of the base to open up wasteland and grow food, private feeding of mutated animals is still not allowed.

However, this is also impossible.

To give a simple example, take chicken, the most common poultry:

Before the end of the world, almost every household in the countryside would have a few chickens. Generally, they would not attack people. Even if they were aroused to be fierce, their attack power was very limited, and they had almost no lethality.

However, although the mutated chickens have not changed much in their habits, they will not actively attack humans.

But the body size is about 10 times that of the pre-apocalypse, which is about the same height as an adult. The sharp chicken beak is more than half a foot long, and the sharp chicken claws are bigger than the two palms of an adult male!

Few people can bear it if they accidentally get a mouth or a paw.

The same is true for common domestic animals such as pigs, sheep and cattle.

Therefore, over the years, the country has not allowed private feeding of mutated animals.

When the army clears mutant animals in the wild, it will also depend on the situation:

When encountering mutated animals with a high risk factor, they will be strangled directly; those with a more docile temperament will be sent to a designated place, and the base will send special personnel to raise them.

As for some common poultry and livestock, they are also raised uniformly by the base, and after being slaughtered regularly, they are sent to designated places for sale.

Ordinary people want to eat meat, just like before the end of the world, they can buy it with money.

But in fact, there are very few people who will buy these meats. ——Nothing else, just because the taste of the meat after the animal has mutated...it's really hard to describe in words.

In short, few people can eat it.

Seeing that Gu Xi asked this suddenly, Wei Heng stared at the sweet potato vines on the ground for a while, thought for a while, and said, "I just checked, and the coefficient of variation of these sweet potato vines is basically around 3. Someone should take it back..."

Gu Xi was thinking about another thing.

When these sweet potato vines were first planted in the morning, the level of variation was still very low, similar to that of sweet potatoes in the field, and the coefficient of variation should be around 0.5.

But now, only a few hours have passed, and the coefficient of variation has reached more than 3.

Gu Xi glanced at Wei Heng.It's impossible for him not to notice such an obvious thing...
