Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 352 Why Not Give It a Try?
But seeing the little fat beast's determined look, Wu Yue still felt a pang of heartache and scratched at her own panel: "How many points do you have?"

Tongzi's eyes lit up, and a small paw stretched out: "Ten points, guaranteed to teach you everything."

Ten?

Wu Yue looked at him with a "you're a robber" expression: "Tell me first."

The system obediently squatted down: "Dog host, I've been fooled by you so many times before. Do you still think I'm that naive system?"

Wu Yue nodded frantically in her heart, yes, you still are!

But Tongzi shook his head with a sly smile: "Unless you pay the points first, I won't tell you this cultivation method."

Wu Yue's face stiffened. It turned out that the loan issue from last time had left a record with the chubby boy.

But thinking about planting a patch of taro sprouts in a few days and being able to harvest an endless supply of sweet potatoes in the fall, Wu Yue's heartache over the ten points wasn't so intense anymore.

He immediately nodded and said, "It's been changed."

Tongzi immediately sat up, reverting to his previous Taobao-esque style: "Congratulations on your successful purchase! There are tutorial videos in the panel, with detailed explanations for each step. If you're satisfied, please give Tongzi a five-star review!"

Looking at the short, stocky figure of Tongzi on the panel, dressed in a worn-out service uniform, Wu Yue said speechlessly, "Are you Tongzi's clone?"

The short, stocky guy in worn-out clothes rolled his eyes in his usual way and said, "No, I'm still the leader, but I'm too poor, so I'm just working here."

The implications in the words couldn't be clearer.

Wu Yue pretended not to understand, casually gave a five-star review, and then turned to look at her panel: "Ah, let's see if the video tutorial is easy to understand first."

The system looked at its dog host with a resentful expression. It had gone to great lengths to find its most worn-out clothes to play the victim, but the dog host was stingy and had no sympathy whatsoever.

Is the bond of mutual dependence between them really so shallow?

However, Wu Yue, who was only focused on taro cultivation, completely ignored Tong Zi's resentful little look and concentrated on watching the instructional video.

First, let the taro dry for one to two days. Then, place the taro in a mound of soil to encourage sprouting. Keep the temperature at 18-20 degrees Celsius. After about half a month, small sprouts about one centimeter long will grow, and then they can be planted.

When planting, the furrow should be about 10 centimeters deep and 35 centimeters wide. After irrigation and water penetration, place the taro on the furrow with the sprouts facing upwards, and then cover it with about 12 centimeters of soil.

During the later stages of planting, it is important to keep the soil moist, and irrigation can be carried out in the morning or evening.

Pay attention to weeding and pest control; the specific methods should be explored by the host themselves.

Wu Yue looked at Tongzi with a deceived expression: "You think you can bully me because I've never been to school? I can figure out all of this myself from what's shown in the video."

Tongzi gave her a disdainful look: "If you never went to school, were those years of compulsory education wasted?"

I don't know what's wrong with Tongzi these days; he's become increasingly sharp and difficult to deal with.

"If you don't talk, you won't have any friends. But once you start talking, you can easily knock out a whole bunch of them."

Tongzi raised his chin: "This is already the most easy-to-understand instructional video in the system."

Wu Yue sighed, "So, she just planted them. For an agricultural novice like her, weeding can be done manually, but pests..."

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she turned to look at the blue fat man beside her, her face full of a calculating smile.

The system shuddered, instantly sensing the intense malice emanating from its dog host: "What mischief are you up to now?"

Wu Yue rubbed her hands together and chuckled, "Tongzi, aren't we comrades who traveled from the same world?"

Tongzi took a few steps back defensively: "Just say what you have to say. Trying to pull strings won't work here."

Wu Yue's expression stiffened slightly. This damn system is becoming increasingly clever and difficult to deal with. She wondered who it learned so many tricks from.

"Our relationship is so close, there's no need for us to try to build a connection. You're being too polite."

Tongzi chuckled: "There's a huge gap between us, rich and poor, so we have nothing to say to each other."

"So all you're really upset about is those points that were deducted!"

Wu Yue looked disgusted.

The system instantly exploded: "You dog host, you've gone too far! Deducting a few points is one thing, but leaving some basic living expenses is the least you can do to show respect. You've deducted so many points that I can't even afford a pair of underwear now."

Wu Yue took a few steps back with a look of disgust: "So you've been running around naked these past few days?"

Tongzi's face darkened: "Their panties are so torn that they can only cover a little bit of their private parts."

Damn it, whose system is this? It's so rude!
Seeing the tears welling up in Tongzi's dark eyes, Wuyue, the cat owner, acted up again. For some reason, she suddenly transferred 50 gold powder points into Tongzi's pocket money account.

"Lucky system, the host has given you 50 pocket points. Feel free to visit the system shop anytime!"

Tongzi was dumbfounded. He remembered the last time he heard this familiar voice was when he was rejected because he didn't have money to buy underwear. It was a cold, mechanical voice, completely different from the sweet one now.

So, does this mean that not only people are realistic now, but even systems are this realistic?

Now that we know the general methods and order of planting taro, although the taro in this world is certainly different from that in China, we all grow taro, so our living habits shouldn't be too different.

With trepidation, while the orcs of the Poison Scorpion Tribe were laboriously turning over the soil, Wu Yue led the slaves to move all the taro from the cellar out to dry and cultivate seedlings.

To her surprise, the taro sprouts here didn't take that long at all. Perhaps because of the rainy season, the cellar was still somewhat humid, so the taro sprouts emerged in a rush in just one week.

After tilling the land, the conscripted scorpion tribe beastmen were once again trained to dig ditches. With a flick of their long scorpion tails, they were invincible.

You tell them how deep you need the trench, and they'll dig it that deep—it's a completely standardized procedure.

Seeing this, Wu Yue secretly had the idea of ​​keeping these useful Poison Scorpion Tribe orcs forever.

Once all the taro was planted, the taro fields, which had been divided into ten plots, were assigned to different slaves for management by Wu Yue.

Both the members of the Snow Tiger tribe and the slaves were puzzled by Wu Yue's behavior of planting taro.

For them, if they want to eat something, they just need to remember where they went to collect it last time, go and collect it. This kind of laborious planting is like taking off your pants to release the air.

However, the chieftain and the shaman both supported Wu Yue's approach, so no one said anything. Moreover, since Wu Yue had discovered so much food for the tribe, everyone still had some expectations in their hearts.

Maybe she really can grow some special foods.

After the taro was planted, Wu Yue's livestock farming was put back on the agenda.

Before the rainy season, she only raised a few chickens because there wasn't enough time, and the number of eggs they laid was limited, enough for only a few people to eat.

But now, she wants to increase the number of chickens she raises.

She found the chickens here quite interesting, not just because finding food in the wild was difficult or because the slaves treated them so well, but these guys didn't show any sign of wanting to escape even when they were released.

In the mornings, the slaves would gather tender grass that chickens liked to eat and feed it to them, and then open the chicken coop to let them out.

These chickens would forage in this area, especially around the chicks, who would feed them insects. At night, they would return to their coop to rest.

Sometimes, when I go out for a walk and come back, there will be one or two more chickens in the coop.

"Moon, we've arrived."

Grandma Flower Tree, whom we hadn't seen in a long time, walked over from a distance, laughing loudly, followed by many females, all members of the gathering team.

After greeting them with a smile, Wu Yue led them toward the chicken coop.

“I’ll have the slaves wait a bit before releasing the chickens. You can go over now and see them eating.”

Everyone's faces lit up with joy upon hearing this.

Sure enough, there were two slaves feeding chickens in the area ahead. The plump chickens were very well-behaved, surrounding the slaves and pecking at the tender grass they threw down.

It also makes a cooing sound from time to time.

The females just stood there watching.

After the slaves finished feeding the chickens, they left. The chickens circled around in their coop for a while, then walked in groups up a grassy slope.

That was their favorite foraging spot during this period.

The young slaves also gathered there to catch insects.

Seeing the chickens coming, they would laugh and pour the insects from their bamboo jars into the ground. The insects would run in front, and the chickens would chase after them. Soon, the chickens would be munching away.

"These chickens really don't run away."

Grandma Flower Tree sighed.

Wu Yue laughed and said, "There are people feeding them, and others catching insects for them. It's safe for them to forage here. Chickens aren't stupid; they're definitely going to stay here and not leave."

Hearing her say that, all the females laughed in unison.

They led them into the chicken coop and, sure enough, found several eggs in the grass nest inside.

Wu Yue stepped forward and picked up the eggs from the nest: "These are the eggs I was talking about. They're delicious boiled or fried."

Grandma Huashu picked up an egg and examined it for a moment: "I think I've eaten this egg before."

Not only her, but several of the females around her frowned: "We've eaten them too. These eggs taste too fishy, ​​and you feel like throwing up after eating them."

Wu Yue laughed: "If you eat it raw, it definitely won't taste good. This egg is very fishy when it's raw, but it will taste delicious after it's cooked."

After saying that, he held up the eggs in his hand and said, "Let's go, I'll make something delicious for everyone to try."

Seeing her confident demeanor, all the females couldn't help but feel a little expectant.

When it comes to making delicious food, the females have learned many methods under Wu Yue's influence, and some females can even apply what they've learned to make some new dishes.

Eggs are a food that everyone has eaten when they are extremely hungry, but in the past, most of the food that our tribe gathered was eaten raw.

So when an egg with a strong, fishy smell and a slightly strange stench enters your mouth, the feeling of eating feces is something that people who haven't tried it can't understand.

Wu Yue still cooked the collected eggs into boiled eggs and scrambled eggs.

Boiling eggs takes a long time because the eggs here are really big, but scrambling eggs is much simpler.

After the animal fat melted in the pot and released its unique aroma, Wu Yue poured the eggs in.

The egg sizzles the moment it comes into contact with the scalding oil, and an unusual aroma instantly fills the air.

The tribesmen stared in astonishment as the foul-smelling egg liquid turned golden yellow and began to emit a completely different aroma after entering the stone pot.

So it's not that eggs don't taste good, it's just that they don't know how to eat them.

When the scrambled eggs were brought out, the females each took a piece from the stone pot and put it in their mouths.

The tender and fragrant scrambled eggs instantly won over the stomachs of the females.

"I never expected that these scrambled eggs would taste so good."

"Why does the fishy smell disappear after stir-frying?"

"Perhaps it's because that fishy smell can only be detected when the egg is raw."

Wu Yue guessed.

As they talked, they finished off the small amount of scrambled eggs, and everyone was looking forward to the taste of boiled eggs.

Looking at their expectant eyes, Wu Yue smiled and said, "Since we ate scrambled eggs first, the boiled eggs might taste a little bland to you, but they are still very delicious and don't have any fishy or smelly taste."

After saying that, he used a spoon to scoop the whole boiled egg out of the pot, let it cool slightly, and then tapped the shell to peel it off.

The egg after the shell is removed is no longer the liquid form that the females remember, but a white and tender appearance as if it is still wrapped in the shell.

Wu Yue used a clamshell knife to divide the boiled eggs into small portions: "Everyone, come and have a taste!"

"Moon, what is this white thing?"

Grandma Flower Tree broke off a piece of egg white and smelled it.

"This is egg white."

Wu Yue replied, "It's the transparent liquid that you saw flowing out after breaking the eggshell. It turns into this after being cooked."

The yolk is in the middle.

"Houhouji!"

A female's exclamation rang out from the side. Everyone looked over and saw that Shui had already stuffed the boiled egg in her hand into her mouth and eaten it.

Seeing her squinting her eyes in enjoyment, everyone couldn't help but swallow hard, and instead of studying the structure of the boiled egg in their hands, they stuffed it directly into their mouths.

The appeal of boiled eggs lies in their natural aroma, devoid of the fishy smell of raw eggs, and imbued with a subtle sweetness and natural fragrance. The females all closed their eyes in blissful enjoyment.

Grandma Huashu swallowed the boiled egg in her mouth, licking her fingers as she sighed, "Indeed, many foods are right in front of us, we just haven't discovered their true way of eating them before."

Wu Yue nodded: "Now, besides the males' hunting, everyone's food consists of the harvest from the gathering teams."

"Just imagine, we can raise lots and lots of chickens, have eggs to eat every day, and if we have too many, we can even slaughter them for meat. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
