Reborn as a Cube Man in the Late Ming Dynasty

"That flower is nice, Liu Er."

"Hey, this pink one looks pretty rare. It's growing well, let's take it home too, Liu Er!"

"Liu Er..."

In the dense jungle, Liu Er tirelessly ran back and forth.

"Here you go, boss!"

Bai Li took the tall clump of lilacs and smelled them; the fragrance was rich but not pungent.

Bai Li nodded in satisfaction and put it into her backpack.

He plans to collect some of these flowers and use them to create a garden in front of his house. He will plant the taller ones on both sides of the road and put the shorter ones in the garden.

Otherwise, he would always feel that something was missing from the empty space in front of the door; he couldn't very well plant wheat seeds as decorations.

Moreover, these flowers have other uses.

"Boss, what else do you want?" Liu Er asked expectantly.

This automated data collection is good, but it's a bit too busy to keep things running.

"Look around and see if you see any beehives or mushrooms. Let me know if you do," Bai Li instructed.

"Okay!" Liu Er replied with a smile and began searching carefully.

Although I haven't enchanted my tools with Precision Harvesting yet, maybe I can just forcibly take the beehive?

If you take it back, you can have honey to eat and also make white sugar.

Since sugarcane is hard to find, honey can be used as a perfect substitute.

As for mushrooms, bone meal can be used to accelerate their growth into large mushrooms, which can then be used to make mushroom houses, or brown-red mushrooms can be used to make mushroom soup.

If you add the flowers you've collected before, you can also make mysterious stews with different edible effects.

There are good and bad aspects, but it's not random. He only needs to eat it once and remember what effects each flower produces!

As for having villagers test the poison, he didn't want to send a withered creature directly to its death.

Although the buff lasts only a few seconds, it has a significant effect, such as fire resistance, health regeneration, and night vision.

If I remember correctly, most people in ancient times suffered from night blindness.

And who knows what this mysterious stew tastes like? If it has a unique flavor, then I can add all those buffs to the Wither and eat it all up!

As Bai Li pondered this, he looked around. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he shouted excitedly.

"Liu Er, stop! Look what I've found!"

Liu Er stopped and looked in the direction Bai Li pointed. He saw a bird's nest on a tree that was taller than the surrounding trees, and he could vaguely see several bird eggs inside.

Although he didn't understand why Bai Li was so excited to see bird eggs, he was happy because Bai Li was happy.

Liu Er said, "There seem to be bird eggs in there. Boss, wait a moment, I'll go get them right away."

"No," Bai Li stopped Liu Er. He first did some warm-up exercises, then rolled up his sleeves and said eagerly, "Let me do it, I've never taken bird eggs before!"

Although it was possible to simply stack blocks on top, Bai Li chose the most primitive method.

Climb straight up.

He clung to the tree like an octopus, his movements clumsy, but he managed to slowly climb upwards.

When they reached the fork in the tree where the bird egg was, Bai Li took out the bird egg, but instead of rushing down, he leisurely looked at the surrounding scenery from the tree.

In the original world, Bai Li had very high myopia, and the world was always shrouded in a fog in his eyes.

Now that the fog has dissipated, the world is once again revealing its beauty to Bai Li.

"It's so beautiful!" Bai Li exclaimed, then beckoned to Liu Er, "Liu Er, come on up!"

"Alright." Liu Er climbed up nimbly. After all, he had made a living in the forests and fields since he was a child, so climbing trees was a piece of cake for him.

"then!"

Bai Li took an apple out of her backpack, tossed one to Liu Er, and took one for herself.

The two leaned against the tree branches, one on each side. Bai Li ate an apple casually, one leg dangling down and swinging back and forth, humming a tune and tapping it on her raised thigh.

It is also Jay Chou's "Rice Fragrance".

Anyway, here, no one will push him around anymore, and he can stay as long as he wants.

As for Liu Er, he was holding an apple, staring intently at Bai Li's profile.

With clean water and plenty of food, there was no need to worry about survival or his mother's illness. He could sit leisurely in the tree, munching on the sweet fruit that the eldest brother called an apple.

The price of all this, so far, is merely to enjoy the scenery; everything seems to have slowed down.

Liu Er had never felt time pass so slowly.

No wonder so many people yearn to seek immortality.

"Liu Er, why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on your face?"

A familiar voice interrupted Liu Er's thoughts. He came back to his senses and saw that Bai Li had turned around at some point and was looking at him with a smile.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought that with your handsome looks, you must have many fairies chasing after you in heaven, right?"

If a guy compliments another guy on his looks, then he really is handsome.

"You have good taste!" Bai Li was in a great mood and gave a thumbs up. Then, stroking her chin, she recalled, "There were a few, but none of them were to my liking. After all, it's a lifelong commitment."

As Bai Li was speaking, she noticed something yellow that seemed to be flashing under the leaves in the distance behind Liu Er.

Upon closer inspection, he confirmed that the yellow object was indeed the beehive he was looking for.

Just as Bai Li finished eating her apple, she said to Liu Er, "Alright, we've rested enough, let's go."

"Hmm." Liu Er cleanly and neatly climbed down the tree, leaving Bai Li alone on the tree staring blankly.

It seems harder to get down this tree than to get up!

Fortunately, I had water with me.

Like most games, there is no fall damage even if you fall into the water from a great height.

Moreover, the bucket ensured that Bai Li could release water at her feet at any time.

So Bai Li took out the bucket, took a few deep breaths, and jumped in.

With a clean and crisp landing, Bai Li successfully landed in the water.

I'm still a little scared. It seems I need to fight fire with fire. I need to find a cliff to jump off. After practicing a few more times, I should be fine.

Bai Li thought to herself.

"Liu Er, here, take these bird eggs."

I would never want to eat boiled eggs in my life.

They handed the bird eggs to Liu Er, waiting for him to wrap them in cloth and put them in the basket behind him.

Bai Li said, "Look this way, I think I see a beehive."

Walking in that direction, Bai Li soon saw the beehive.

The beehive is square-shaped, about the size of a plank, and is clearly naturally formed. It hangs on an oak tree and produces dripping honey pellets.

There were also one or two bees, each half a meter long, collecting nectar nearby.

"What a huge bee! But it's so cute!" Liu Er exclaimed.

"Indeed, we could take a few home as pets. Liu Er, you stay here and don't move. If any of these bees sting you, don't worry about me, just run for your life."

After giving his instructions, Bai Li approached the beehive, first placing a campfire underneath it, and then waiting a moment before attempting to break the beehive off.

After all, he didn't damage the hive, so he shouldn't be attacked by bees.

However, Bai Li tried for a long time but failed.

The beehive was as if it were fixed in the air; Bai Li couldn't even move it.

It seems like it won't work this time; I'll have to bring a pair of scissors next time.

After the honeycomb matures, honey can be obtained using glass bottles, and honeycombs can be harvested using scissors. Honeycombs are valuable and can be used to build beehives.

It is important to know that if bees have no home, they will wander around in search of a hive or beehive to live in.

With a beehive, you can bring the bees back and wait for them to produce honey.

Furthermore, bees that collect pollen can pollinate crops, allowing them to directly enter the next stage of growth, just like bone meal.

Bai Li shrugged helplessly and walked back to Liu Er's side: "Liu Er, do you remember this road?"

He needs GPS to walk, so let Liu Er do the route-finding.

Liu Er nodded and pointed to a spot not far away: "Boss, there seem to be some mushrooms over there."

Bai Li looked over and, sure enough, saw a red mushroom there.

"I'll go!" Liu Er volunteered and ran over to pick the mushrooms.

Bai Li instructed, "Let's search around and see if we can find any brown mushrooms."

Unfortunately, after spinning halfway around, only red ones were visible.

It seems we can't make mushroom stew, but red mushrooms are perfect for making mushroom houses, which is also good.

"We've had a great day! And a lot of fun, really great!" Bai Li put away the red mushrooms and said to Liu Er, "Alright, we've found most of what we need, let's head back now."

I wonder how things are going with Liu Qi, but with Tie Shan around, dealing with a few bandits trying to rob us shouldn't be too difficult.

It should be noted that at this stage, even Bai Li himself might not be able to defeat Tie Shan.

Moreover, if Iron Mountain possessed intelligence, it probably wouldn't be as foolish as in the game, letting its feet be trimmed. Besides, it's unlikely anyone could actually trim the feet of Iron Mountain, which is made of solid iron.

I'd be lucky if they could scrape off even a little bit of metal shavings!

Bai Li thought to herself.
