Fruit Basket

The lobsters sent by the Yu tribe were put into the big iron pot, and the makeshift stove was lit. Shen Nong was holding a ceramic bowl, which contained chopped green onions, minced ginger and minced garlic bought from the system at an infrastructure point.

Looking at the minced ginger and garlic in the ceramic bowl, Shen Nong sighed. This system was really protecting him like a thief.

As for why the system is so wary of Shen Nong, it all started a few days ago.

Except for the crops that already exist in the Beast World and are not far from the Wood Tribe, the other crop seeds in the system mall are ridiculously expensive.

However, the system mall is very large, and people usually search directly for what they want to buy, and rarely browse page by page.

Ze came back very late that day, and Shen Nong also suffered from insomnia and couldn't sleep. He had nothing to do, so he just lay on the bed hugging a pillow made of Tuanzi fur, and scrolled through the system mall interface page by page.

Then he discovered that the finished product was much cheaper than the seeds.

For example, a peach costs ten infrastructure points, and planting a peach tree requires a thousand infrastructure points.

Shen Nong slid to the back and stared at a fruit basket called "Perfect Fruit Basket" in deep thought. For the first time, he did not bargain with the system. He paid 100 infrastructure points, not a single point less, and bought the large fruit basket in full.

Perfect means there are ten kinds of fruits in this fruit basket.

After eating the fruits, keep the cores of apples and the seeds of watermelons, and plant them in suitable soil according to the habits of different fruits.

Shen Nong used his supernatural powers to stimulate the growth of the fruits, and in just half a day, the fruits began to come alive.

Peach seedlings, grape seedlings, lychee seedlings, mango seedlings, as well as pineapples, bananas, dragon fruits, watermelons, cantaloupes, and Hami melons. Shen Nong confirmed his guess and prepared to buy the "various" fruit basket.

This varied fruit basket contains a hundred kinds of fruits, including the most delicious fruit of each type.

One thousand infrastructure points, it’s a great deal.

It was just an experiment, and Shen Nong thought it was good enough that the fruits survived. After all, the temperatures that these fruits prefer are different. However, when he used his supernatural powers to sense the life of plants, he found that these fruit crops were in very good condition.

This good state can only appear under suitable climate, temperature and soil.

After a brief thought, Shen Nong could not help but sigh at the power of the system. He was almost certain that the system's fruits, their seeds and cores, could ignore the temperature and climate.

The ten kinds of fruit crops are growing well. In order to make the fruits taste better when they mature, Shen Nong decided not to use his supernatural powers to induce growth unless necessary.

It takes a long time for fruit trees to bear fruit, several years. But the rest of the fruits don’t have to wait too long, and the tribe has a lot of fruits this year.

Shen Nong was calculating the time it would take for the fruits to bear fruit. What he didn't know was that after he successfully used his supernatural powers to produce ten kinds of fruits, the system internally issued an "abnormal warning."

When he entered the system mall again to buy other fruit baskets, he found that the fruit baskets were prohibited from sale.

After flipping through several pages, it was found that not only was it forbidden to buy fruit baskets, but also individual fruits. However, tree species and fruit cores were still allowed.

"System, is there a bug in your mall?"

"Yes. The abnormal warnings have been issued." The system that had just been severely criticized by the main system sent an eye-rolling emoticon. "After checking, the picture was displayed. I took a closer look. Isn't this bug you, the host?"

Shen Nong coughed lightly and understood what he meant. "So, the purchase of these fruit baskets and fruits is prohibited. Is this something you did on purpose?"

"What else? Let you continue to bug?" The system thought about how it was dragged to the door of the small black room by the main system and what the main system said. It said to Shen Nong, "The main system told me to keep an eye on you, otherwise I will be thrown into the small black room for reconstruction."

"You are depriving the host of his rights." Shen Nong said as he slid across the mall screen. "Besides, it's not my fault. It's obviously your system that has so many loopholes. From what you said, the main system hasn't discovered the bugs that were stuck before, right?"

The emotionless electronic voice of the system was about to break. "Are you the same as other hosts? Will they buy fruit baskets and use supernatural powers to induce childbirth? Special hosts, special treatment!"

As soon as the voice fell, the system made another "tsk" sound. Deep in its code, it still agreed with what its host said. "Who asked the host to give birth to ten kinds of fruits that have not evolved in the beast world at once? Otherwise, the main system would not have detected the abnormality in the world data."

Shen Nong understood and said, "I will try them one by one next time."

At this time, the light screen interface was stopped at the vegetable area of ​​the mall. Seeing this, the system code shook. It knew what the host wanted to do and quickly changed the data.

The vegetable area soon became dark, and Shen Nong was slow, so he only managed to grab a handful of green onions.

It took five infrastructure points.

[Host, your mall data has been listed as a key observation target. If the "fruit basket incident" happens again, I will really be caught and thrown into the small dark room! ]

Shen Nong looked at the gray mall and thought, I can't buy anything even if I want to.

The system cannot keep the mall area closed all the time, but in order to prevent such incidents from happening again, the main system conducted an internal "rectification" on Shen Nong's system mall and closed it for a full hour.

When Shen Nong went in again, he found that whether it was the vegetable area or the fruit area, everything had been processed and had no roots, stems, seeds or cores.

The onions were cut into sections, and all the vegetables were rooted and leaves were kept. The fruits were sliced, and the seeds of strawberries and kiwis were removed.

Shen Nong sighed with regret. If he had known earlier, he would not have been so careful. He should have bought that fruit basket with various shapes and sizes in the beginning.

As expected, the brave will die of overeating while the timid will die of starvation.

The orcs of the food preparation team melted the lard, then added onions, ginger and garlic to stir-fry until fragrant and to enhance the flavor and remove the fishy smell. The cleaned and processed lobsters were put into an iron pot, and water was added to stew. After the lobster shells changed color, oyster sauce was added to enhance the flavor.

Shen Nong had never eaten such a large lobster in the interstellar world, and he didn't know how to cook it, but he put everything he needed in. Finally, the broth was boiled and the shrimp meat was tender and had a hint of sweetness when he tasted it carefully.

After eating a large lobster, Shen Nong stopped eating. He usually ate less at night and was afraid of indigestion.

The remaining lobsters were shared among the orcs from the Yu Tribe and the Mu Tribe. The orcs from the Yu Tribe kept licking the soup on their hands while eating. They knew that the Mu Tribe could always make the shells and meat particularly delicious.

Not long after Shen Nong returned to the cave, orcs came from the military guard and said that Tu Dong had selected the three best orcs.

Hearing this, Shen Nong asked someone to wait outside, and then went to the system to look for a suitable reward.

Orcs have no concept of money. Gold, silver, and jewelry as rewards are not as valuable as a salted fish. In the eyes of orcs, only meat that goes into their stomachs is the best reward.

Shen Nong directly searched for cooked food, and after some comparison, he chose a roast duck at 50 yuan per piece.

This is the most cost-effective one, the others either have less meat or are too expensive.

The top three got a roast duck each, and Shen Nong from the medical team also brought some. However, in order to save money, Tu Dong got one duck each, and the other orcs got a quarter each.

Depending on the number of people, there will be one roast duck in the end, with three quarters left.

After hearing Shen Nong's request, the system code trembled slightly, and asked in disbelief, "What are you going to do with the remaining three quarters?"

"Leave it for me to buy next time." Shen Nong said as a matter of course.

The system took a deep breath and comforted himself, stay calm, it's good enough that he didn't give you a discount, what else do you want?

However, high-dimensional intelligent AI does not know that there is an old saying among humans: What you fear will come to you.

After the system calculated the infrastructure points that needed to be paid, Shen Nong said slowly, "Give me a discount."

The system "beeped" and immediately crashed.

Shen Nong didn't react at first when he heard the system voice. After calling twice and the system didn't respond, he could only sigh and said, "Oh, there's no discount."

After paying the infrastructure point, Shen Nong wrapped the roast duck with large leaves and tied it tightly with straw ropes to prevent it from falling apart.

He handed the three roast ducks from the general guard to the orc who came over and asked him to take them back. He asked other orcs to deliver the roast ducks from the medical team directly to the medical team.

The orcs who were delivering roast ducks from the military guards were drooling all the way. They didn't know what delicious food the priests had made, but even if it was wrapped in leaves, the fragrance would go straight into their noses.

After finally waiting until the military guards arrived, the orc swallowed his saliva countless times before shouting, "Yangwu from the Wushan Tribe! Huhua from the Wood Tribe! Niu Si from the Water Tribe! Come out and claim your rewards!"

He really couldn't stand the smell, so he simply asked the three people to come out and get it themselves. He couldn't smell it for a moment longer, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be able to resist stuffing everything in his hands into his mouth.

The three of them quickly came out of their dormitories to collect their own rewards. They had a keen sense of smell and could vaguely smell the aroma of meat from a distance. The closer they were, the clearer they could smell it.

After guessing that the priest’s reward was meat, the three of them were extremely happy, and the meat smelled really good!

It smells so good even when it’s wrapped. I wonder how much more fragrant and delicious it will be if you take out the leaves.

The orc who delivered the meat gave the meat to the three people and ran away quickly. It was really uncomfortable to be able to smell it but not eat it, so he had to get away from it as soon as possible.

When the three returned to their dormitories, they placed the roast duck on the wooden table and carefully opened the leaves. Not only did the orcs from these three dormitories stare at the meat on the wooden table with shining eyes, but the orcs from several surrounding dormitories also came over following the smell.

The roast duck produced by the system is delicious, with crispy skin and golden oil. The mixture of spices and meat is natural and full of meat fragrance. Just smelling it can make people dizzy.

Although Yang Wu and the other two were in different dormitories, they were performing the same scene. They grabbed the fragrant roasted duck and stuffed it directly into their mouths, nimbly avoiding the orcs who were surrounding them, and kept shouting, "This is the reward given to me by the priest!"

"I'll just take a bite and try it!"

"Yes! Just take a bite!"

"I won't eat it! I'll just smell it!"

"Really, just smell it! Why are you hiding?"

The orcs' voices were all aimed at the roast duck. However, Yang Wu and the other two did not believe what they said. They just ate and smelled everything.

If I really let go, there would be not even a bone left of the roast duck.

Finally, Hu Xiao, Mao Yun and the other two heard the noise and came to check the situation. After understanding the situation, they severely reprimanded the orcs who were making trouble, and only then did they quiet down.

Yang, Wu and the other two were enjoying their delicious roast duck with peace of mind, except that the sound of people swallowing saliva was too loud and a bit noisy.

Hu Xiao couldn't help swallowing his saliva as he left, "I don't know when the priest will give me another reward. I want to try it too."

He turned to Ze and said, "Ze, ask the priest when you go back at night! You are the priest's partner, the priest will definitely be able to tell you!"

Ze was bewitched by the word "partner" from Hu Xiao's mouth and nodded in response: "Yes."

..

Shen Nong lay on the bed with his eyes closed. It was hot in summer, so he did not close the wooden door of the cave. When he heard the sound of water washing outside the cave, he knew that Ze had returned.

He came back early today. Shen Nong turned over and his heart beat faster when he thought about the changes in the relationship between him and Ze.

As usual, after washing outside, the first thing he did when entering the cave was always to shout, "Priest".

Shen Nong buried his head in the pillow and uttered a muffled "hmm".

The steady and powerful footsteps were like a regular beat beating in his heart. Shen Nong almost subconsciously held his breath and concentrated on judging every step Ze took and how far the distance between him and him was.

Ze noticed Shen Nong's nervousness, moved closer to the edge of the bed, and lay down on his side, not even daring to touch Shen Nong's hand.

Shen Nong's mind was full of random thoughts, but he realized that the person behind him was silent. He looked up and met Ze's gaze.

Because he had been buried in the pillow for a long time, Shen Nong's face was slightly flushed. His breathing was disordered, his mouth was slightly open, and he was panting slightly.

After Ze awakened, his vision was not limited by light. In the dark, he could even see more clearly than in the daytime. His priest was like an ignorant little animal in the forest that had not yet sensed the danger. Every breath of the other party was a great temptation to Ze.

After Shen Nong adjusted his breathing, he found that Ze's breathing was very light, almost non-existent. He was a little worried, so he leaned forward to check. However, his movement completely broke the delicate balance between this inch of heaven and earth.

A beast on the hunt will hide its presence and wait for its prey to approach.

When Shen Nong approached Ze, before he could make any move, his head was tightly grasped and he was pulled forward. The hot breath sprayed on his face, with a minty scent.

Shen Nong washed up early, and the mint taste in his mouth had already faded a lot, but now he was tightly wrapped by the refreshing mint smell from another person.

The temperature rose rapidly, and the hot breath entangled him. Shen Nong felt like he was going to be melted by the heat, and he hid backwards.

Dan Ze had long arms and legs and a tall stature, and he quickly encompassed the entire man in his arms.

This made the only gap between the two disappear, and Shen Nong felt a familiar strange feeling, which made his scalp numb. A trace of clarity emerged from his chaotic mind, and he could only activate the vines to imprison Ze and let him escape.

What he didn't expect was that this vine was just like Ze's mating season in the spring. It didn't imprison Ze as Shen Nong had expected, but surrounded the two of them, looking more like it was building a nest, and he and Ze were both in the nest.

Shen Nong was shocked by his own imagination and quickly withdrew his supernatural power. When the abnormality occurred before, he had clearly found a time to try it, and he was able to tie her up at that time, so why is it not working now?

At this moment, Shen Nong was too tired to find out what was going on. He opened the system mall and searched for something suitable. When he saw the price, he found that one box cost 10,000 infrastructure points.

There are small notes below: Ultra-thin, with lubrication function, dual-purpose, and can automatically adjust the size according to the size -

Shen Nong was not surprised by the high-tech features of the system's products, but they were too expensive. He only had 10,000 infrastructure points now, and he would have none left after using them.

And this is the only interface for selling TT.

Shen Nong didn't even have the chance to settle for second best. He turned off the light screen. He never expected that there would be no second T in such a big mall.

The superpowers are useless, and the system cannot be relied upon... Shen Nong reached his hand down, and as he moved, Ze's body stiffened and stopped moving.

The golden eyes contained a desire as deep as the sea. Shen Nong looked at Ze's beautiful eyes and whispered, "You need to breathe when kissing, like this..."

Shen Nong's kissing skills were not much better, and they were awkward in every way, and their teeth knocked against each other several times. But at least there was a gap for breathing, so people wouldn't feel like they were suffocating to death.

..Ze's slender and powerful fingertips weaved into his hair, and the gentle kiss became more intense.

Shen Nong breathed a sigh of relief and finally went to sleep.

As for his own reaction, Shen Nong had decided to ignore it. He was so tired that he was in no mood to care.

But Ze obviously didn't think so. Realizing Ze's actions, Shen Nong was startled and woke up immediately with a trembling voice: "Ze, I don't need it, don't move!"

Orcs are strong and have difficulty controlling themselves. Although Ze's self-control is the best among orcs, Shen Nong doesn't dare to gamble on it at all.

He would rather keep it to himself than help him.

Ze seemed to have thought of this, so he did not insist. After Shen Nong refused, he quickly withdrew his hand. Just when Shen Nong thought that the matter was over, Shen Nong felt that he was pulled. After realizing what Ze was doing, Shen Nong wanted to speak. After feeling Ze's slight pause for a moment, Shen Nong quickly clenched his teeth and refused to let any sound leak out.

It's killing me..

——

The arm with undulating muscles and full of strength was placed on the waist, and the gravity made Shen Nong feel uncomfortable. He opened his eyes, and when he regained consciousness, he saw Ze's handsome face.

Shen Nong's head was buzzing, and without thinking, he raised his foot and kicked Ze. However, he failed to kick, and Ze grabbed his ankle instead.

This action immediately ignited Shen Nong, and all the memories of last night were suddenly evoked. He felt hot all over, his face flushed, and he stared at the culprit.

Last night, except for the last step, I tried all the tricks I saw in the visual system without missing a single one.

Ze loosened the priest's slender white ankle and kissed his cheek gently. Shen Nong suppressed the throbbing in his heart and asked curiously: "Why haven't you gone to the military guard yet?"

"Go now." Ze rolled out of bed with a swift movement. After getting up, he did not forget to ask Hu Xiao when there would be another evaluation and reward. Shen Nong thought about it and only said that there would be a future, but the exact time was not yet certain.

This time it was just a sudden idea of ​​Shen Nong, more to increase the weight of Tudong's speech and to stimulate his enthusiasm for learning. Unexpectedly, the tribesmen were quite looking forward to it.

After Ze left, Shen Nong lay on the bed to calm down for a long time. When he changed his clothes, he found that the clothes he was wearing were not the ones he wore last night. He felt clean and fresh without any stickiness, and there was no dirty mark on the bamboo mat. He thought that Ze had washed him and changed his clothes, and the bamboo mat was also cleaned.

When Shen Nong took off his clothes and looked down to see the marks on his body, the heat that had been receding began to rise again.

From now on, let Ze transform into an animal and sleep on the ground at night.

Shen Nong changed his clothes and went to the big earth house to study the drainage system. The open channel is mainly to dig the moat, and the culverts, underground channels, and branch channels used for underground drainage need to be carefully planned according to the topography of the Mu tribe.

The system did not completely conform to the drainage system diagram of the Mu tribe. Shen Nong, a layman in plant research, could only learn on the spot. After observing for a few days, he finally figured out some of the tricks.

But if you want to do it well, there is still a certain distance to go.

No matter how smart you are, it's useless because different fields are like different mountains. Shen Nong looked at the densely packed and crisscrossed distribution map and felt dizzy.

Shen San happened to come here to report the situation of the high-level orcs of the Salt Tribe. Half of the orcs wanted to join the Wood Tribe, and he came to ask Shen Nong how to deal with it.

Shen Nong could not give absolute trust to these orcs. Thinking of the conditions that Bao Qiu and others originally put forward for coming to the Mu Tribe, he told Shen San that to join the Mu Tribe, one had to sign a covenant to ensure their loyalty and not betrayal.

Shen San knew what to do and prepared to leave.

Shen Nong thought that the wooden houses in the tribe were all built by Shen San and his production team, and they were all built very well. Shen San has a program setting for construction, so the drainage system must be involved to some extent, right?

He asked tentatively: "Shen San, can your program understand the drainage system diagram?"

Shen San nodded and said, "Sure, if the priest needs it, I can also design it."

The three bionic warriors initially called Shen Nong "Master", but Shen Nong felt it was weird, so he asked them to follow the orcs and call him Priest.

Hearing Shen San's affirmative answer, Shen Nong once again sighed that his energy was well spent! He stuffed all the pictures he bought from the system into Shen San's arms, "The Mu tribe has no drainage system. Every time it rains, the water on the road can reach above the ankles. If you can design it, I'll leave it to you."

After solving a big problem, Shen Nong breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he also realized that there was really no one in the tribe who was willing to use him.

He had to put teaching the orcs to read on the agenda, so that it would be easier for them to learn other kinds of knowledge after they learned to read.

At this time, in the dense forest not far from the Wood Tribe, Mao Cao slid down from the tree and said happily: "I saw the tribal wall, we are almost there!"

The orcs of the Wood Tribe spent a lot of time going to the Edge Tribe. When they came back, they were led by the orcs of the Edge Tribe, and the time they spent on the journey was only half of the time they had gone there.

When they knew they were about to reach the tribe, the orcs of the Wood Tribe were very happy. This was the first time they had been away from the tribe for such a long time, and they missed their tribe members a lot.

The people of the marginal tribe followed the team forward, and Tu Feng left the team and went back to the tribe first. He was afraid that the guards would not recognize them, and if a wooden arrow was shot down, these orcs of the marginal tribe would be scared and go back immediately.

Rabbit Wind was very fast. The orcs on the city wall saw an orc warrior running towards them from a distance and stood ready. After seeing that it was Rabbit Wind, they put away the wooden arrows on the crossbow carts.

"The orcs from the marginal tribes will come later. They are timid, so don't scare them." Rabbit Wind emphasized, "The priest takes this market very seriously. If people are scared away, I can't guarantee that the priest will not punish you."

Yang Lei naturally knew that the priest valued the market, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry."

After waiting for a long time, the guard team finally saw the orcs from the marginal tribe.

The orcs on the edge pointed ahead and asked doubtfully: "Lushui, there is something blocking the road ahead, can we get through?"

Lu Shui looked up and explained, "That is the wall built by our tribe, and inside is our tribe."

Shu Guo asked subconsciously, "City wall? What is this?"

"It's for defense, to keep away wild beasts." Lu Shui replied.

The people from the marginal tribes nodded. They also surrounded the front of their tribe with soil, but it was not so obvious from a distance.

The orcs thought that the walls of the Wood Tribe were as high as the earth walls of their marginal tribes, so they followed the Wood Tribe orcs forward.

But the further they went, the more they felt something was wrong. Why were the walls of the Mu tribe getting higher and higher?
