The timeline system has gone awry; they insist that steamed buns are a magic pill.
Chapter 68: Unsold Fungal Spawn Branches Lead to Supply and Marketing Cooperative Visit – Good News!
"Yin Yi, here, I've got something good for you."
Li Qingqiu crushed the snake's head with his foot before lifting it up.
Venomous snakes are still somewhat dangerous. They need to be skinned, dismembered, and properly prepared before cooking, otherwise there might be parasites. Fortunately, the system can detect that this snake does not need to be purified, which means it is quite clean and safe to eat.
"A five-step snake?"
A hint of joy flashed in Yin Yi's eyes. "This snake meat is delicate; it tastes excellent whether made into snake soup or deep-fried." Well, this girl only cares about the ingredients. Li Qingqiu handed the snake to Yin Yi.
"We'll have this for lunch."
Li Qingqiu quite liked the snake soup that Yin Yi made. As for Wang Qingqing, well, it was up to her whether she wanted to eat it or not. She was from the agricultural technology station and brought her own food. Li Qingqiu didn't care how she dealt with vegetables. That was one of the advantages of not being an advisor; otherwise, he would have to cater to Wang Qingqing's tastes.
"I'll take care of it now, and we'll have something to eat soon."
Yin Yi happily carried the five-step snake to process it. No wonder she was skilled at skinning, deboning, and removing the meat. Even Li Qingqiu had to admire her skills. At such a young age, she was already good at cooking and eating.
"I forgot about the lottery because Li Xianbao distracted me."
"lottery."
[Triggering a special event - Blessed by the Luck of a Prodigy from the Immortal Sect - Gain +1 Free Attribute Point]
Li Qingqiu was a little confused. What was going on? Was this a special event?
Who else is a prodigy from the immortal sect? Getting this free attribute point through luck must be pretty awesome. Let's open the system panel and take a look.

Points-based lottery: Eligible participants can enter beginner, intermediate, and advanced lottery draws.
Task: Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential. Task completion: 135/1000. Dual cultivation partner task completion: 20/100. Each time your immortal techniques are displayed, you astonish the cultivators in your family: 16/100. ... You were once the white moonlight of your sect's prodigy, but now you've fallen into the dust. Young man, strive harder! The achievement task to astonish the prodigy is now open. Task completion: 0/50.
"Wow, a high-level magic weapon. Even though it's a one-time use item, it's still pretty awesome."
Li Qingqiu knew that the probability of drawing a high-level magic weapon in a beginner lottery was about one in ten thousand. This luck was too good. He got lucky. Who is this genius? Yin Yi couldn't have been there in the last lottery. Was it Zhao Nan, Xiao Hua, or Wang Qingqing?
"Xiao Hua shouldn't be a prodigy from the immortal sects, and Zhao Nan doesn't even belong to one either. Could it be Wang Qingqing?"
Li Qingqiu muttered to himself, "But the attribute points are for high-level magic weapons. What's the use of that?" He continued, "Let me check them out." To be honest, Li Qingqiu didn't really care much about these attributes. What's the use of being fast or strong? Being fast can outrun bullets, and being strong is good for manual labor?
Unexpectedly, the system rated the attribute points so highly. Li Qingqiu opened it and took a look. First, he noticed the attributes related to physique and physical condition. The other attributes, strength and agility, matched Li Qingqiu's understanding. "Huh, physique is related to lifespan?"
Could you please put more effort into this introduction? There's such a big deal hidden in the corner. It took Li Qingqiu a long time to understand why the cultivation system doesn't value genetic lifespan. People who cultivate immortality have genetic lifespans that belong to the realm of mortals.
Humans' genes determine their lifespan, which is around 150 years. For cultivators, as long as they enter the threshold of cultivation, they can reach that lifespan, not to mention the cultivation system.
"Damn it, increase physique, increase all physique."
Just kidding, Li Qingqiu wished he could do a ten-pull right now, get all the free attribute points, add them all to physique, max it out, and increase his lifespan to 150 years old. Li Qingqiu rubbed his hands excitedly. This split-leg cultivation system has finally done something!
"Wait, why isn't my luck stat showing up again?"
With the blessing of being a prodigy gone, Li Qingqiu glanced at the system panel and saw that his luck value was gone. After checking, he realized that attribute values less than five points were not displayed. Well, a low luck value was acceptable, but Li Qingqiu, your IQ is also below standard. You don't even have five points. This is a bit hard to handle.
After fiddling around for a while, Li Qingqiu roughly figured it out: the probability of getting attribute points by signing in is one in tens of thousands, the probability of getting them by the beginner lottery is one in several thousand, the probability of getting them by the intermediate lottery is one in several hundred, and the probability of getting them by the advanced lottery is unknown.
Even so, attribute points are still divided into designated attribute points, such as agility, strength, and intelligence, making the probability of truly free attribute points even lower. "Who is the prodigy of the immortal sect? I want to become sworn brothers with him; the luck bonus is too strong!"
I need to earn more points and do more draws to find out who this incredibly lucky immortal genius is. Adding points to my physique is just too good to pass up. Who doesn't want to live longer? Although the system is a bit quirky, I originally thought that points could only be used to draw skills and resources, but I didn't expect there to be a bug like attribute points.
"I'll demonstrate my amazing bacterial transplantation skills again this afternoon to earn some points."
Li Qingqiu planned to earn another fifty points as soon as possible, taking advantage of Wang Qingqing's several more lottery draws. Little brat, your luck is off the charts, Tianjiao, don't run away! The woman insists on marrying him, and the man will become sworn brothers.
"Li Qingqiu, try this! I added some snow fungus to the snake soup, and it seems to taste even better."
Yin Yi was quite excited; this snake soup was even more delicious than before. Indeed, good ingredients combined make for a more delicious flavor.
Li Qingqiu took the bowl, took a sip, and indeed it was incredibly delicious. "I never imagined that snow mushrooms could be paired with snake meat."
"Technician Wang, stop what you're doing and try some snake soup."
Originally, Li Qingqiu didn't intend to have any relationship with Wang Qingqing, and even spoke to her coldly. But when she thought about the advantage of being a prodigy, she decided to build a good relationship with her first, no matter what. If it really was her, she would deceive her and get her.
"Thank you, but no need."
Wang Qingqing was a little surprised. Li Qingqiu's attitude towards her was lukewarm, so why was he being so enthusiastic now?
"The snake soup made with snow mushrooms and snake meat is extremely delicious."
"Snow mushrooms and snake meat?"
Upon hearing about snow mushrooms, Wang Qingqing no longer declined, since the consumption of snow mushrooms was part of her research.
"The taste is indeed excellent."
Wang Qingqing was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected the round-faced little girl to have such good skills.
"Please eat more if you like. We'll all be living together from now on, so don't be shy."
"yes."
Guo Zhaonan echoed her third uncle's words. Compared to her uncle, Guo Zhaonan really wanted to get closer to this older sister from the agricultural technology station. Wang Qingqing was a top student who had graduated from a proper agricultural university.
"Technician Wang, you can tell me anytime you encounter any problems. Although I may not be able to help much with big issues, I can still lend a hand with small ones."
"Thank you."
Wang Qingqing couldn't refuse their kindness; after all, one can't refuse a smiling face.
In the afternoon, Li Qingqiu handled a few more branches. Wang Qingqing watched and was somewhat surprised; Li Qingqiu's skill in decomposing mycelium and transplanting spawn was surprisingly good.
It must be said that the basic microbial culture technology was already top-notch in the commune, and it was top-notch in all aspects. Generally, the microbial culture technicians in the county agricultural technology station could not reach this level.
Li Qingqiu had no idea that his casual display of skill had surprised Wang Qingqing, an agricultural technician.
"No one came to buy mushroom branches this afternoon." I guess there will be a lot of people buying them in the next few days, since 50 cents is still quite expensive.
For about half of the commune members, 50 cents was not a small amount. After all, many members didn't even have enough money for their food rations this year. Before the mushrooms sprouted from the scions, these people were either stingy or already poor, plus some distrusted Li Qingqiu's character and wouldn't act until they saw the prey.
Li Qingqiu wasn't in a hurry. He could just wait. The mycelium would grow in three to five days, the snow mushrooms would take shape in five to ten days, and they would be ready to be harvested in about fifteen days. He figured the next few days would be quite leisurely, which would be a good time to teach Xian'an a few ways to decompose the mycelium.
Decomposing the mycelium is a bit more difficult, but fortunately there's no rush. Nobody buys mycelium branches, so we can just make some for our own home use.
"It's a good time to relax," Li Qingqiu thought to himself. "If someone actually comes to buy, I can show off my amazing skills in transplanting mycelium and earn some points."
Over the next few days, Li Qingqiu was indeed quite idle. He signed in a few times and received the usual prizes. The best prize was a dynamic map showing the distribution of pheasants and rabbits around Lijia'ao. There were two or three pheasants and a few more rabbits, around four or five, in the entire three-kilometer radius trial area.
No wonder even the headhunter couldn't catch them; the numbers are too few. The drought has had a significant impact. Perhaps there are more prey in the deep forests of the Dabie Mountains, but wolves, leopards, and even black bears and South China tigers could appear, making it quite dangerous.
There are also wild boars, antelopes, and monkeys, which are all formidable predators. The idea of hunting deep in the mountains is just a dream; it's freezing cold this winter. Maybe I could go for a trip next autumn.
"Uncle."
Li Qingqiu, who was dozing off, was startled. That voice, Li Xianbao, could it be that this second son caught some snake again to buy mushroom spawn?
What are you doing here?
"Uncle, I've brought you some pheasants."
Li Xianbao grinned, holding a pheasant with flapping wings high in his hand. Yes, it really was a pheasant. Li Qingqiu's eyes widened. No, how did he catch it? This kid went into the mountains. Li Qingqiu knew that there were only two or three pheasants within a three-kilometer radius.
Li Qingqiu quickly checked some animated GIFs of pheasant distribution and found that one was missing. This must have been a pheasant he caught!
This is during the time when the mountains are blocked by heavy snow. Even with the dynamic distribution map, let alone ordinary people, Li Qingqiu couldn't guarantee that he could catch any pheasants. After all, with a foot or two of snow, the slightest movement would send the pheasants flying away.
Where did you catch it?
"It's on a hillside."
Li Xianbao said matter-of-factly, "Uncle, now you can help me grow mushrooms, right?"
"OK."
"You're really something," Li Qingqiu muttered. "This kid really has some tricks up his sleeve. Isn't catching pheasants alive his skill? Is this kid some kind of natural talent?" "Here are two more branches for you, four mushroom spawn branches in total."
"Thank you, Uncle."
Li Xianbao counted on his fingers, wondering how much four mushrooms would sell for, and if that would be enough for a schoolbag. "Uncle, could you help me sell the mushrooms later, and buy me a schoolbag from the commune while you're at it?"
"You're quite clever, kid."
Goodness gracious, this kid's got some nerve. It's probably impossible for a little brat like him to go to the commune. His grandparents, parents, aunt, and sister are keeping a close eye on him. Besides, if a little kid spends several dollars on a bag, the salesperson probably won't dare to sell it to him.
"Get lost."
"Uncle, please, I'll catch you another pheasant later."
"Okay, if you can catch another one, I'll buy it for you."
I didn't believe it. There were only two pheasants within a three-kilometer radius, and the closest one was more than a kilometer away from the brigade. Where were we supposed to catch them?
"Then it's settled, Uncle. You can be an adult, you can't lie."
"Your word is your bond. Once you catch him, I'll buy it for you right away." Li Qingqiu still didn't believe him.
"Alright, I'll go catch it tomorrow."
"You're not allowed to go into the mountains."
"Understood, Uncle."
Li Xianbao ran off, and Li Qingqiu, carrying the pheasant, stood there stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, "No way."
"Never mind, I'm overthinking it."
Li Qingqiu hummed a little tune as he carried a pheasant home to eat chicken.
"Hey, where did the third brother get the pheasant?"
"I was lucky to find it on the way. Maybe I ran out of food on the mountain and came down to find something to eat," Li Qingqiu said with a smile.
"You're so lucky."
After Li Qingqiu tied up the chicken, Li Qinghua whispered, "Third brother, I heard from Xianle that we didn't sell any mushroom spawn branches again today."
"Is it Aunt Liu and the others? I heard they've been gossiping about it a lot these past few days."
"Second brother, don't worry, don't worry, good things will always sell."
Li Qingqiu waved his hand dismissively, and just as he was about to wave back, Li Xianle ran over.
"Third Uncle, Third Uncle, someone from the supply and marketing cooperative is looking for you."
"The supply and marketing cooperative understands."
Li Qingqiu paused for a moment and then thought that the snow mushrooms he sent over a few days ago had probably been delivered to the county.
"Third brother, what does the supply and marketing cooperative want with you?"
"It's good news, Second Brother, let's go take a look." Li Qingqiu had some suspicions.
