Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character

Around 10 a.m., there were still a few pikas and locusts left to catch, so the soldiers dragged the capture nets into the bamboo forest to continue processing them.

Chang Dongning then put a large box filled with highly radiated pikas into his spatial storage.

She took the opportunity to wander around in the bamboo forest. Before the soldiers came in, she, a weakling with poor physical condition, didn't dare to come in.

"Drip, moderate radiation, edible."

Chang Dongning put away the testing shears, took out a digging shovel, and started digging at a small point.

Today's task targets are pikas and locusts. A portion of these must be handed over, the rest will be distributed uniformly, and the remaining harvesting income will belong to the individuals.

Instead of digging for bamboo shoots, Ding Jiajia wandered around the thick bamboo groves, selected one by feel, and began cutting it.

After digging out the bamboo shoots, Chang Dongning continued to search for and test them. Before he could find a second edible one, the soldiers called him away to collect highly radioactive pikas and edible locust legs.

Both kinds of prey have been processed. The edible pikas were stunned by the soldiers and placed in cages, ready to be loaded onto the vehicle later. The inedible locusts were placed at the edge of the bamboo forest, to be buried in a hole later.

After tidying up, the soldiers took out their nutritional supplements and started eating dinner. Chang Dongning checked the time and saw that it was already eleven o'clock, so he took out his nutritional supplements as well.

A moment later, Ding Jiajia also sat down and took out the nutrient solution.

"Didn't find any bamboo worms?" Chang Dongning asked casually.

"No, we cut down a bamboo tree for nothing."

"It wasn't a complete waste of time cutting the bamboo; we can haul it back and use it."

"That's true, my family just wanted to weave a bamboo basket." Ding Jiajia wasn't disappointed; that's how gathering is all the time, it's not surprising if you don't get anything.

She, a water-based ability user, rarely goes out to collect resources. Water and wood-based ability users mainly focus on planting at the breeding base. This mission location was relatively safe, and since she likes to eat bamboo worms, she applied to come along.

After finishing their nutritional supplements, the soldiers didn't rest; instead, they searched for test results in the bamboo forest in twos and threes.

Chang Dongning did not rest and continued to collect. When she went out to collect before, she always felt that taking a few hours to rest at noon was a waste, but there was no way to do so. She could not stay in the sun at noon, and she dared not go deep into places like forests.

It will be even more difficult in a while, and the lunch break will have to be extended to after 3:30 p.m. before we can continue collecting.

"Drip, low radiation, edible."

Chang Dongning tested four or five bamboo shoots and found that one of them was edible and had low levels of radiation.

Ding Jiajia cut down three bamboo stalks but couldn't find any bamboo worms. She walked over to Chang Dongning and watched her dig bamboo shoots.

"What's wrong?" Chang Dongning asked, somewhat puzzled, as he put the bamboo shoots into his spatial storage.

"I've noticed you're quite lucky."

"Really? It's alright!" Chang Dongning didn't think he was lucky. He had only been here a short time and had already been injured twice.

"When you're gathering materials, have you ever come back empty-handed?"

"It seems not, but we've basically all gained something," Chang Dongning said after thinking for a moment.

"Isn't this just good luck? You know, it's normal to not find anything while collecting, but you can even discover new species, and more than one of them."

"That's because I'm willing to spend points to get it officially tested." Mainly, she values ​​her life, so even if something looks very familiar, she doesn't dare to eat it directly.

"Were any of the submissions you made unsuccessful?"

"Yes," Chang Dongning said matter-of-factly. As for wood ear mushrooms, although they also earn reward points and she has eaten them herself, they are not officially listed as edible by the authorities.

"Huh? There are failures too?"

"Of course I do, I'm not a god," Chang Dongning said with a laugh. "Why aren't you looking for bamboo worms?"

"We cut down three bamboo trees, but couldn't find them," Ding Jiajia said dejectedly.

"Why don't you test the bamboo shoots?" At least we can test them first, and only dig them up if they're edible, so we don't waste our time.

"I don't like eating bamboo shoots, never mind, I'll test the bamboo shoots myself." Ding Jiajia picked up her tools and went to find bamboo shoots.

Chang Dongning smiled. This is because people from well-off families can say what they don't like to eat. In the eyes of ordinary wasteland people, there is only the difference between what is edible and what is not. Don't like to eat? What is that? Even her little Xuanxuan has never said what he doesn't like to eat.

But she was determined to raise Xiao Xuanxuan so that he knew what he didn't like to eat. It wasn't about indulging his picky eating, but about teaching him what choice and what he liked were.

Chang Dongning also wanted to cut down two bamboo trees. She wasn't looking for bamboo worms, but rather wanted to take them back and hire someone to weave a bamboo mat. In the wasteland world, everyone was a craftsman, and the original owner had studied crafts.

The bamboo mat we use at home now was woven by my mother. But every coin has two sides, and knowing how to weave doesn't mean you can weave it well. You can imagine how well someone can weave a mat if they can make a living with their craft.

Given Chang Dongning's current situation, there's no need for her to waste time on things she's not good at.

Bamboo stalks are usually quite tall, so two are usually enough. This was a last-minute idea. She didn't prepare a chainsaw, so she took out a machete and started chopping.

After cutting down the first bamboo, she paused for a moment. Ding Jiajia had searched for so long without seeing a single bamboo worm, but she found one by simply cutting down a bamboo at random.

No, this place is almost full of bamboo worms, but you can't tell from their appearance at all. The bamboo leaves are thriving and don't look wilted at all.

Bamboo worms live inside bamboo and are not exposed to the outside, so they are highly likely to experience low levels of radiation.

Chang Dongning took out a box from her spatial storage and put the bamboo worms directly into it. The bamboo worms were too small, and they might die if pricked with a testing needle here. Usually, they were all taken back and tested beforehand.

Ding Jiajia couldn't find a single edible bamboo shoot, and when she turned around, she saw Chang Dongning catching bamboo worms.

"I told you you were lucky."

"It's alright."

"No wonder you dare to raise a child alone."

Chang Dongning paused for a moment, having originally intended to sell her half: "I didn't want to raise the child alone; it was an accident."

Originally, it was three adults supporting one child.

Bamboo infested with bamboo worms is best not used for weaving anymore. Chang Dongning cut it into sections so she could catch the worms, and the bamboo could also be taken back as firewood.

There was no way to store living things in the space, so she closed the box and carried it on her back in a basket.

After the second bamboo was cut down, Chang Dongning remained silent for even longer. Had she disturbed a hornet's nest today? All she wanted was a new handmade mat.

Go ahead and catch them. They sell mats in the trading hall, but not bamboo worms. These things are very expensive.

Ding Jiajia still couldn't detect anything edible. She glanced at Chang Dongning, who was catching insects, and, somewhat unwilling, carefully selected a bamboo and began to chop it.

When Chang Dongning chopped down the third bamboo, Yan Xin and Tong Xing came to watch the excitement. When the bamboo worm's tender white body was revealed, everyone cheered.

"Wow, bamboo worms again."

Chang Dongning was already numb. He took out another box and used precise techniques to catch the insects.
