Chapter 217 Thank you, little monkey, for the gift.

The thing the little monkey dropped on the ground was oval-shaped, with a brown outer shell and several cracks.

Shi Nianqing picked it up and examined it closely.

"This is?"

Shi Nianqing broke it open from the crack and saw small pieces of white pulp stuck together.

"This is the fruit of the baobab tree? How could this be? How could there be this here?"

Baobab trees grow in tropical regions, and Shi Nianqing felt that the temperature here was not actually high. She never expected to see baobab fruit here.

Shi Nianqing hadn't seen the little monkey during the time she was searching the surrounding area, so she was surprised that it had been delivered.

Shi Nianqing stroked the brown skin on it; it felt a bit rough. This was the outer skin of the baobab fruit.

At this time, the barrage in the live broadcast room——

[What the heck? A baobab tree? What is this?]

I'll check the information. This is a plant unique to tropical regions. Its fruit contains a lot of starch, making it an excellent staple food.

According to the information provided, this stuff tastes sweet and sour, can be used to extract starch, and can also be baked. After baking, it has a very nice sweet and sour flavor.

In many tropical regions, this is their staple food, just like rice.

Wow, Shi Nianqing is so lucky! She just stays at home and food is delivered to her door.

……

Shi Nianqing also felt lucky, considering that this was a baobab tree.

Seeing the direction the little monkey had gone, Shi Nianqing immediately chased after it.

She was also holding fruit in her hand.

The little monkey was very fast in the jungle, but Shi Nianqing's body had been modified, so her speed wasn't much slower.

They caught up with the little monkeys quickly. The little monkey looked timid and stood on the branch with some fear.

They hugged each other, looking at Shi Nianqing with curious eyes.

Shi Nianqing held the fruit in her hand above her head to indicate that she had no ill intentions.

After a while, the little monkey finally reacted, carefully peeled itself off the branch, and took the fruit from Shi Nianqing's hand.

Then he carefully returned to the tree branch.

They look so cute, they're almost melting the hearts of the viewers in the live stream.

The little monkeys divided the fruit among themselves, popping it into their mouths and crunching away.

Their eyes never left Shi Nianqing. Seeing that they had finished eating, Shi Nianqing took out another piece of fruit and held it directly above her head, but not as high as before.

Another little monkey carefully came down and, in the same way, shared the fruit with its other companions.

This was repeated three or four times, and each time a different little monkey came down.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they no longer seemed as cautious as before.

One daring little monkey even jumped down from the tree branch and carefully stepped onto Shi Nianqing's shoulder.

When they were found, Nianqing did not chase them away, but obediently stood on her shoulders.

Seeing that Shi Nianqing posed no danger, one of the faster monkeys climbed onto the other side of her shoulder.

Shi Nianqing carefully reached out and patted their heads.

Seeing them go from being afraid at the beginning to gradually becoming familiar with each other.

Shi Nianqing sat down and talked with them.

"Where are you from?"

These little monkeys were very clever and quickly understood what Shi Nianqing meant.

They gestured excitedly to tell Shi Nianqing the direction they came from. They even became quite familiar with each other, and the little monkeys led Shi Nianqing to their habitat.

When Shi Nianqing went over, she saw several monkeys perched on the trees, squinting their eyes.

Some of the monkeys were holding their babies in their arms, and they seemed to be getting along very well.

One of the monkeys, which was very strong, sensed the unfamiliar presence and immediately hung upside down to look over.

What they saw was a few mischievous monkeys leading Shi Nianqing over, and they even went to where they stored food and took out several baobab fruits.

He placed it directly into Shi Nianqing's arms, looking like he was worthless.

The monkey king observed for a while before running over.

The little monkeys were a little scared when they saw the monkey king coming.

The monkey king flicked them on the head with one of his monkeys and let out a threatening roar.

It's as if they're saying: Why did you bring strangers into our habitat? You have absolutely no sense of security!
Several little monkeys stood obediently in a row, heads down, occasionally glancing up at the monkey king's expression.

Just then, the little monkeys sleeping on the branches of the trees got up and saw a stranger.

There were also little monkeys that quickly climbed to the top of the tree and looked at Shi Nianqing with wary eyes.

Shi Nianqing immediately squatted down to show that she was very safe, while looking at the Monkey King.

From the moment Shi Nianqing arrived, she realized that these monkeys were incredibly intelligent.

The Monkey King, in particular, was even able to discipline his ignorant subjects.

Then, could I ask them where the baobab tree was discovered?

Thinking of this, Shi Nianqing's eyes burned with desire.

Baobab trees are not the main food source for these little monkeys. There are very few places where they can eat them, and collecting and carrying large quantities of them is very inconvenient.

This stuff was probably stored away to change up the flavor.

Moreover, this group of monkeys had only recently migrated here. Shi Nianqing confirmed that there had been no trace of baobab trees within a radius of about 100 kilometers before.

That would very likely be something these little monkeys brought back from their original habitat.

Shi Nianqing wanted to know exactly where the baobab trees were and what their yield was.

With this, they would have starch and could make many more different kinds of food.

After being scolded, the little monkeys reluctantly returned to their parents.

He got beaten up again after he got back.

The Monkey King quietly looked at Shi Nianqing.

Shi Nianqing took out several fruits and placed them in front of the Monkey King.

The Monkey King glanced warily at Shi Nianqing, making sure she was safe, and then slowly ate the fruit.

His eyes never left Shi Nianqing.

Shi Nianqing took out the fruit of the baobab tree and placed it in front of the Monkey King.

"Where did you find this thing?"

Shi Nianqing pointed to the fruit of the baobab tree and made several gestures.

The monkey king quickly understood what it meant, looking at the fruit.

I thought Shi Nianqing wanted to exchange this thing.

They still have quite a few of these things stored in various places. Although they taste good, they are very troublesome to store. In the Monkey King's territory, they are nothing compared to fruit.

They turned back to where the food was stored, followed by several monkeys.

The Monkey King called out several times, and then several monkeys picked a large pile of baobab fruit and placed it in front of Shi Nianqing.
