PFC Chapter 2 Children's World
Chapter 2 Children's World
Over the past two days, Xia Shiyu mainly focused on understanding her family's land. Because Xishi is mostly mountainous, even though roads have been built in recent years, much of her family's land is still on the mountains, unlike in the plains where machines can be used to assist in harvesting.
As for their family's land, after her grandparents passed away, Yu Juan only planted a few plots of corn, watermelon, and rice at home, while the rest were rented out or left uncultivated.
Xia Shiyu glanced at it but didn't make any specific plans for the time being. After all, she still needed to see what kind of seeds the fairy tale world could provide her first.
Soon it was evening. After dinner, Xia Shiyu and Yu Juan returned to their room. Instead of playing on their phones as usual, they went to bed early and closed their eyes.
"System, initiate the teleportation."
"Okay, host, you are now being transported to the fairy tale world."
The moment the system's electronic voice faded, Xia Shiyu felt as if her soul had floated up, her consciousness had entered another place, and her body lying on the bed had fallen into a deep sleep.
Xia Shiyu opened her eyes and saw a figure appear in front of her...
"A thatched cottage?!" she exclaimed in surprise, before turning around to see the natural scenery before her.
The feeling Xia Shiyu got was as if she had come to a vast grassland, with white clouds, green grass, red flowers, and various kinds of animals, with several mushroom houses scattered among them.
Xia Shiyu looked at everything in front of her with curiosity. Although it didn't seem quite the same as the place she had seen in her dream, she felt wonderful just being here. The temperature was just right, the air was fresh, and the grass in front of her looked very soft. She really wanted to roll around on it.
A point of light floated over; it was 003. It flew a few times in front of the host to draw his attention back before speaking: "Host, welcome to the fairy tale world. This is the first map of the fairy tale world, Animal Town. Your starting room is behind you."
Xia Shiyu listened carefully and realized that this was the first map. No wonder. She looked at her thatched house behind her, went inside to take a look, and found that although it was a thatched house, it was quite tidy and clean. There was only a wooden bed and a few farm tools, nothing else.
"But 003, what should I do now?" Xia Shiyu asked, unsure of what to do.
003 floated a few times and a system panel popped up, "Please check the currently available plants now."
As soon as the system finished speaking, a panel appeared in front of Xia Shiyu, displaying some of the plant seeds she could obtain on this map, along with a map.
[Water spinach, Chinese cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers...]
Xia Shiyu took a look and found that these vegetables could all be planted during this period, which seemed to be related to the seasons in reality.
"003, how do I obtain these plants?"
The white light reappeared before my eyes. "The host needs to go to the place where these plant seeds are located to accept the mission in order to obtain the seeds."
"Oh, I see." Xia Shiyu nodded thoughtfully, then went back to the thatched hut, picked up a hoe and a basket, and headed to the nearest place according to the map.
Xia Shiyu headed towards the nearest mushroom house. The journey wasn't far, and there was an invisible barrier blocking the way to other places, so she walked along the path for about 10 minutes before reaching her destination.
She carefully stepped forward and knocked on the door a few times. Soon the door opened from the inside, and a hen jumped out.
The hen flapped its wings twice and flew out. Xia Shiyu first took a few steps back before realizing that the owner of this house must be this hen.
Sure enough, the hen clucked a few times and then spoke in human language, "Hello, new neighbor, you need to help me collect some vegetables to get seeds."
Xia Shiyu was initially startled by the hen's human-like speech, but then quickly realized that this perfectly matched the theme of "Animal Town," where all the animals could talk.
Upon hearing the hen's words, the first task quickly appeared on her system panel.
[Helping our neighbor, Miss Hen, harvest vegetables, current progress 0%]
After understanding the progress, Xia Shiyu quickly became motivated and decided to follow Miss Hen to complete the first task.
The hen led the way, and soon they arrived at the two vegetable plots behind the mushroom house. One plot was planted with bok choy, and the other with water spinach.
The lush vegetables grew together, full of vitality, crisp and juicy. There wasn't a single insect on the vegetable leaves. Perhaps it was the special effect of the hen's house, Xia Shiyu thought. She had also grown these two kinds of vegetables at home, but in her memory, the ones she grew at home were no match for the two vegetable patches in front of her.
The hen flapped her wings a couple of times, then stood on a rock in front of her, her little eyes fixed on Xia Shiyu. "You just need to harvest these two vegetable patches. Just use that basket over there. Luckily you came, otherwise I would have had to ask the white rabbits for help, since my hands aren't very convenient."
Xia Shiyu nodded, earnestly indicating that she would work hard, "Please rest assured."
Then he picked up a basket and started working. However, this meant he didn't need a hoe; Xia Shiyu only needed to pull the vegetables out of the field.
Bok choy can be pulled out directly and put in a basket. As for water spinach, Xia Shiyu asked the hen and found that it is better to cut it with a sickle, tie it into bundles and put it away.
The two plots of land were not very large, and the work was relatively easy compared to other farm work she had done. So she immersed herself in the work all night, and by the time she finished, it was around 4 a.m. in the real world.
After she finished, she called for Miss Hen, who was with her chicks. Xia Shiyu saw a group of fluffy yellow chicks playing.
Upon hearing her words, it flew over and carefully inspected the soil and the vegetable harvest. Satisfaction flashed in the little bean's eyes. It turned to Xia Shiyu and said, "Very good, my new neighbor. You have done a very good job. Here are the seeds you need."
The moment the hen finished speaking, Xia Shiyu's panel showed that the task was completed. She was a little excited, then picked up the two packets of seeds on the ground and thanked the hen, "Thank you, Miss Hen."
She then packed her things and returned to her starting room. Once back, she excitedly asked the system, "003, my system is now complete. Can I go back now? Can I bring the seeds back directly?"
The light spot 003 appeared again, "Okay, host. When you wake up, you can just take it from the system backpack."
"The next task will begin after the host sells the bok choy and water spinach."
"Okay." Xia Shiyu nodded and then logged out of the fairy tale world.
Inside the room, Xia Shiyu opened her eyes. It was a little past five in the morning, but because she was quite excited and her body had been asleep during the time she was in the fairy tale world, she didn't feel sleepy at all.
She sat up in bed, opened her system backpack, and took out the newly acquired bok choy and water spinach seeds.
Two packets of seeds reappeared in Xia Shiyu's hands. She looked at the white packaging bags in front of her, picked them up and examined them carefully. The title on them clearly read, "Developed by Fairy Tale Seed Company, Bok Choy Seed No. 1, Water Spinach Seed No. 3".
On the back, there was a series of production numbers and other information. Xia Shiyu searched online and found that he could indeed find this Fairy Tale Seed Company. However, the registered location was on a small island in the Southern Hemisphere, and all kinds of certificates were complete. It was just that it was not selling in China for the time being.
The system is indeed incredibly powerful; it can create something out of nothing.
Xia Shiyu looked at it and was very satisfied. Tomorrow she could plant the two vegetables. Both vegetables had a short growth cycle, so she would soon be able to taste their deliciousness and sell them.
