Chapter 68

The completion of the exploration mission is currently 3/10. It has been 15 hours since Xie Xingchen found rice, papaya, and peppercorns.

Looking at the seaside, Xie Xingchen felt that he could be a little willful and choose to rest (bushi).

"It's expensive to make a fortune, why don't we go to the sea?" Xie Xingchen's eyes lit up.

When he first spoke, his tone was quite embarrassed, but after he finished speaking, he became unreasonable and strong.

Well, that's a reasonable break!

How can you continue working if you don’t relax after working efficiently?

Apparently, the two robots also agreed with Xie Xingchen's statement. The two even ran to the beach impatiently. When Xie Xingchen arrived, they had already picked up such good things as small half-sized lobsters and king crabs.

Xie Xingchen was well prepared. Seeing that the two robots were running vigorously, he adjusted his equipment on the beach.

Umbrellas, beach chairs, tables, stoves, small freezers, seasoning boxes, beverages... and other holiday equipment have returned to the rivers and lakes.

When Fa Cai Chang Shou came back with a basket full of seafood, Xie Xingchen just set up the equipment.

He took the seafood, rinsed it with fresh water, put it into a large basin, poured high-grade white wine, and shook it evenly.

Put the lid on and let the seafood get drunk. After the seafood was "drunk" drunk, Xie Xingchen poked Fugui and asked Fugui to help with the seafood.

Open the shell, remove the dirt, trim, cut... After the big lobster and king crab become a size suitable for marinating, Fugui takes them to sterilize and eliminate parasites, and then Xie Xingchen pours out all the prepared seasoningsThen add a lot of lemon slices, hot millet, minced garlic, green onion, ginger and garlic, etc., and finally pour a lot of frozen cold white boiled, without any ingredients.

After sealing it and shaking it gently to confirm that all the seafood was evenly submerged in the raw pickle water, Xie Xingchen took out another energy stone and stuffed it into the freezer, and then put the raw pickle in the fresh-keeping layer of the freezer to stay.

They clapped their hands, and after finishing their work, the two robots comfortably lay on the recliner, and each of them held a frozen coconut in their hands.

Oh, that's not right, because although the coconuts held by the two robots are real coconuts, there is no coconut juice in them. It contains the robot-specific energy liquid created by Xie Xingchen. This energy liquid has a faint coconut flavor.Incense is his patented product and the favorite of the robots at home recently.

Blowing the sea breeze and drinking a drink, although the temperature was still a little hot, Xie Xingchen took out the treasure of a small protective cover.

As long as you are willing to throw energy stones in it, you can have whatever temperature you want!

After adjusting the suitable temperature, Xie Xingchen slept comfortably for an hour, and when he left, he was even a little reluctant to part.

Put the things back into the space button, and a group of people headed eastward.

There are fewer green plants in the east than in the south, and there are no large animal footprints, but there are quite a lot of small animals.

But I don't know if it's because Qiong Dao is too hot. The small animals here basically have sparse hair, not as smooth as in the north, and their appearance has dropped a lot.

Moreover, these animals are not afraid of people. When they see Xie Xingchen and the others, some of them will even throw fruit to say hello.

"Hey, little guy! Are you a little too much?" Xie Xingchen pointed to the monkey who threw bananas at him again and got angry.

The named monkey cleverly kept climbing the tree, and its golden hair made its little black face even darker.

Xie Xingchen has seen photos of this kind of monkey on the Internet. This is a Hainan gibbon, a former prison animal, and its number is even rarer than that of giant pandas.

Oh, that's not right, in fact, the number of many animals in modern times is even rarer than giant pandas, after all - when he wore them, giant pandas were downgraded.

"Chi Chi Chi Chi..."

The little gibbon is really not afraid of Xie Xingchen!

Seeing Xie Xingchen looking at him, he threw another banana at him.

Xie Xingchen:

As long as what you throw is a longan, my attitude is different.

Picking up the bananas on the ground, Xie Xingchen didn't know what to think. He suddenly took out the coconut from the space button, then poked the straw in, and waved his hand at the gibbon.

That naughty and innocent gibbon, who had never been beaten by humans at first glance, actually swung down from the tree, bounced up to Xie Xingchen, and took the coconut from Xie Xingchen's hand.

Xie Xingchen was afraid that the gibbon would not be able to eat it, so he took a coconut out to demonstrate, but just as he was about to demonstrate, the monkey snatched it and ran away.

Xie Xingchen:?

Ran?

Xie Xingchen stared dumbfounded at the back of the fleeing monkey, feeling that he had been deceived.

Xie Xingchen pointed at the Hainan gibbon in disbelief and said, "What do you mean the monkeys in Mount Emei are hateful? Could they be more hateful than the gibbons in Qiong Dao?"

Fa Cai stepped forward with concern: "Boss, are you okay?"

Fugui stared blankly at the disappearing figure of the ape, then rubbed his head and said, "Boss, shall we continue walking?"

Xie Xingchen was discouraged.

Glancing at the little squirrel on the tall tree next to him who was looking at him with his head tilted, he said in an awkward tone, "Of course."

Please let him leave this horrible place!

God, Lu, what kind of apes are these!

Will this ape still be an ape?

Such a society waits until the society is definitely taught social principles by social people!

With reddish earlobes, Xie Xingchen set off straight ahead, no matter how beautiful the animals along the way were, they couldn't attract his attention.

Fortunately, the embarrassment comes and goes quickly, and what's even better is that Fa Cai and Fu Gui are two robots who have not yet awakened. Before they realized that their master was embarrassing just now, Xie Xingchen returned to normal.

After exploring around the dense forest, Xie Xingchen's breath became disordered.

"Let's stop for a while." He couldn't help putting his hands on the big tree next to him, ready to rest.

[Ding Dong, congratulations to the player for finding the plant "Narrow Leaf Slope", the completion of the task "Explore 10 Plants" +1, the current task completion progress: 4/10]

[Narrow leaf slope barrier: also known as "Hainan sacred tree", a rare tree species, but because of its extremely high requirements on the growth environment, the number is rare.[Reminder: If you are not sure about planting, please do not dig at will.]]

Hearing this, Xie Xingchen got up slowly.

Looking at the huge tree he just leaned against, he couldn't help but slowly open his mouth.

No, no...

This is actually the legendary Hainan Shenmu?

Is he so lucky now?

Can you pick one in a million?

You must know that he had tried to find trees when he first came to explore, but these trees... anyway, they were all discovered by Xie Xingchen in Qiong Dao before.

After a full hour of useless work, every tree he found was a tree he knew. Later, Xie Xingchen stopped doing this.

Can!now!exist!

He just randomly found a tree to lean on, but he picked up the "Hainan Shenmu"?

What is the function of Hainan Shenmu? Xie Xingchen doesn't know, but it must be awesome to be called "Shenmu". In addition, the system also certified its identity as a "rare" tree species. Xie Xingchen was so happy that he didn't even dare to touch it.

Turning around the Shenmu, Xie Xingchen's first reaction after completing the circle was to open the map, and then draw a tree stick figure on the Shenmu coordinates.

After doing all this, Xie Xingchen began to carefully observe the surrounding environment, and finally gave up on transplanting the Shenmu.

Reluctantly observing for another half an hour, Xie Xingchen looked back at every step when he was about to leave.

It didn't look like saying goodbye to Shenmu, but it was like saying goodbye to a lover. Fa Cai and Fugui almost told him to stay.

Fortunately, after leaving the dense forest, Xie Xingchen returned to normal immediately, but although his expression returned to normal, the smile on his face never went down.

Taking advantage of the twilight, he returned to his tropical plantation in Qiong Dao.

At this moment, a row of robots stood in front of Xie Xingchen.

Xie Xingchen clicked on the first cool robot on the left: "Has the 001 team discovered anything so far?"

The cool robot shook its head, and the sound board was mechanical: "No."

Xie Xingchen let it go back after hearing the words, and then ordered the simulation robot next door to come out: "Apart from the papaya tree, did the 002 team find anything else?"

The slightly handsome artificial robot looks smarter than the cool robot.

After coming out, he smiled slightly before reporting: "The 002 team found a coconut grove in the southeast of the dense forest. Although it is not a new plant requested by the boss, this coconut grove is stronger than the coconut groves we found before.Large, visually it can produce more coconut oil for us.”

Hearing this, Xie Xingchen couldn't help but patted the shoulder of the captain of the 002 squad.

Good guy, really good guy!

This robot has a future!

What a worker!

Xie Xingchen believes that he can definitely awaken into a mechanical life.

From now on, the 996 blessing will be yours.

Xie Xingchen rewarded Team 002 with a whole box of coconut-flavored energy liquid.

Against the envious eyes of everyone, the captain of the simulated robot raised his head and chest, only missing his nostrils.

After the leader of the 002 team returned, the leader of the 003 team and the 004 team... until the leader of the 007 team stepped forward to report their work one by one.

However, the work results of these teams were not as good as those of the 002 team. It was not until the 008 team appeared that the 002 team came out on top.

The captain of the 008 team is the management robot that the system rewards Xie Xingchen after the Chang'an workshop is built.

It has a humanoid appearance. From the outside, it looks like a smart and capable man in his thirties. If it weren't for those cool mechanical arms, he wouldn't be a robot at all.

Nan Yao stepped forward, opened the work form, and began to report: "Report to the boss, the 008 team currently found the dense forest as follows: a small lychee forest consisting of about 100 lychee trees was found at the northwest coordinate 02035; the northwest coordinate 030569A small banana grove and a passion fruit grove with a diameter of 100 meters were found; a medium-sized jackfruit grove was found at the northwest coordinate 05987... and a large fruit tree suspected to be a longan tree was found at the due west coordinate 10659."

Nan Yao's detailed report successfully shocked everyone present.

Regarding this, Nan Yao, the person in charge, didn't even change his tone.

He directly turned on the projection equipment in his body, and projected a large fruit tree that he thought was a longan tree in front of everyone (robots) in 360 degrees.

Xie Xingchen: "..."

Seeing the projection of the huge longan tree in front of him, and seeing Nan Yao's elite appearance, Xie Xingchen was speechless.

Could this be the strength of the management robot given by the system?

Xie Xingchen said that he was shocked.

Xie Xingchen praised very seriously: "You are very good."

Nan Yao nodded reservedly.

He walked back to the robot queue with a smile on the corner of his mouth, without asking for special treatment at all.

But this kind of Nan Yao made Xie Xingchen nod secretly, and he planned to increase the prizes for the 008 team from 2 boxes of coconut energy liquid to 3 boxes.

Of course, many robots have worked hard after such a day of exploration, so Xie Xingchen made the decision and gave each of them a bottle of limited edition coconut energy liquid.

That night, the robots in the plantation were drooling with the thick coconut-flavored energy liquid.

...

In the early morning of the second day, Xie Xingchen, who got up early and had breakfast, asked Nan Yao's 008 team to lead the team to the west coordinate 10659.

They haven't reached the destination yet, but everyone has already seen the giant tree with ten people hugging each other.

It was a huge longan tree, so big that only the word "covering the sky and the sun" could accurately describe it.

There is an idiom called "a single tree is hard to support", but this big tree breaks the meaning of the word, it tells everyone that a single tree is also easy to support!

It's really "a single tree makes a forest". It's just a tree but it forms a forest. Xie Xingchen reasonably suspects that the age of this tree is at the level of his ancestors.

really

[Ding Dong, congratulations to the player for finding the plant "Longan Ancient Tree", the completion of the task "Explore 10 Plants" +1, the current task completion progress: 5/10]

[Ancient Longan Tree: This is a huge longan tree. It has been absorbing the essence of the earth, the sun and the moon for thousands of years, and finally formed such a shape. It is not only the treasure of Qiong Dao, but also the treasure of human beings. With it,All dark matter will not be able to get close.】

Looking at the system comments, Xie Xingchen opened his mouth slightly, his eyes were full of stars.

He just said... the dark matter content of plants on Qiong Dao is very abnormal!

He had found so many plants before, but there was not a single one with dark matter!

It turns out that there is a giant longan tree!

Baby, big baby!

Xie Xingchen thought...

Detecting Xie Xingchen's dangerous thoughts, the system that had been silent immediately issued a notification tone.

[System Reminder: The growth environment of the giant longan tree is harsh, please do not transplant it.】

This time, the word "casual" in "do not transplant casually" is removed, so it can be seen that the system is not a suggestion, but a warning.

Xie Xingchen regretted taking back the idea of daydreaming.

After making another circle around the ancient wood, Xie Xingchen waved to the robots and said, "Come here, boys, and rest on the giant tree. Let's use our luck to complete the remaining tasks in one go."

If the robots were human, they would definitely complain about Xie Xingchen's so-called "rubbing luck", but it is a pity that they are not human, they are just robots.

So when Xie Xingchen said to let them rub their luck, they really rubbed their bodies against the giant longan tree!

What is a robot body made of?

Metal!

Even the simulated robots have their simulated skins made of strong materials.

now!exist!

A bunch of robots rubbing their hard skin against tree bark?

Xie Xingchen, the person who raised the opinion, didn't blow up, but the system did blow up.

[System prompt: Please look at the tree in a civilized manner!】

[System prompt: Players are asked to look at the tree in a civilized manner!】

[System prompt: Civilization depends on you and me, and environmental protection depends on everyone!】

Xie Xingchen: "..." So, I feel that this system has a lot to do with the earth.

Xie Xingchen touched his nose, and stopped the uncivilized behavior of "rubbing luck" by the robots.

The sixth sense told him that if he didn't stop it, the system would really blow up.

Xie Xingchen: "Everyone, don't hesitate, get ready, we should go."

The correct way to stop a robot is to replace an action order.

Hearing that the master said that he was about to leave, the robots all stopped their strange "luck" behavior.

Touching the giant longan tree again, Xie Xingchen raised the corner of his mouth, pointed forward vigorously and said, "Go, let's continue to complete the task!"

As soon as Xie Xingchen issued the order, the robots divided into eight groups and left from eight directions. In the end, only Xie Xingchen, Facai, and Fugui were left near the giant longan tree.

Originally, Xie Xingchen planned to leave, but a second before leaving—he changed his mind.

This is a geomantic treasure land certified by the system!

That being the case, how could he not find out?

Among other things, it would be great to find one more new plant here!

You must know that he has only found 5 new plants so far, and the exploration mission is only half completed!

Maybe it was the courage given to him by Jumu, Xie Xingchen was dreaming of completing the task today.

But sometimes there are some things that really have to be convincing, for example-people's luck may really follow the law of conservation.

The ancient longan tree looks like a treasure land of geomantic omen, but in fact there is no living space for other plants except weeds.

Reluctantly searched again, no.

I searched again desperately, but still nothing.

Finally, after finding it for the third time, Xie Xingchen had to admit that the nutrition here seemed to be absorbed by the giant longan tree. Except for the tenacious weeds, no other plants could be found to survive.

Xie Xingchen was extremely disappointed: "Alright, I'm the loser."

Patting the tall giant tree melancholy, Xie Xingchen's tone was full of regret.

Originally, he thought that there should be many treasures on the Fengshui Treasure Land, but he didn't expect that one big treasure would absorb all the Fengshui in this place, leaving no scum to the same kind.

Suddenly, Xie Xingchen felt that the giant longan tree in front of him was quite domineering.

Fa Cai: "Boss, when shall we leave?"

Fugui: "Boss, I see a weed with small purple flowers over there."

Get rich and rich at the same time.

Hearing that there was a plant with small purple flowers, Xie Xingchen asked without thinking: "Where? Where is that plant with small purple flowers?"

Fugui pointed to the northeast, Xie Xingchen looked in the direction Fugui pointed.

Squinting his eyes and looking for a while, he still didn't find the plant with small purple flowers that Fugui just mentioned.

Xie Xingchen looked hard, but still couldn't see it: "Fugui, where is that weed with purple flowers you mentioned? Why can't I see it?"

My eyes were almost blind and couldn't find it.

Forget it, Xie Xingchen doesn't intend to embarrass himself anymore, let Fugui take him there to find plants.

Calling Fugui back to lead the way, Xie Xingchen followed behind him and came to the plant with the small purple flowers he mentioned.

In fact, this place has already left the category of giant trees.

However

After looking for a long time, Xie Xingchen still didn't find the plant with small purple flowers that Fugui mentioned.

Xie Xingchen wiped his face, and said helplessly: "Fu Gui, why don't you just point it out to me, I really can't find it!"

Fugui replied: "Yes."

Then he took Xie Xingchen to the plant with small purple flowers, and touched the plant with his hands.

It is said to be a small purple flower, but in fact, only a little bit of the flower bud emerges. If you don't look carefully, you can't see the small lavender petals at all.

Seeing this, Xie Xingchen was really convinced.

"Fugui, your eyes are really good!"

So far, so small, and such a strange place, can he find even a little bit of purple?

Regardless of wealth and honor, Xie Xingchen would not be able to find it even if he was blind!

Put your hand on the purple flower, and sure enough, the system prompt should sound.

[Ding Dong, congratulations to the player for finding the plant "licorice", the completion of the task "Explore 10 Plants" +1, the current task completion progress: 6/10]

[Glycyrrhizae: This is an ordinary leguminous plant. It is called "Glycyrrhiza licorice". It is a kind of herb with a sweet taste., it can now grow in the south~]

Xie Xingchen: Fog grass, licorice!

Great!

Licorice lotus leaf drink, licorice mint rock sugar drink, licorice lemon curd, herbal tea...

If he can find Sydney, he can also make licorice pear paste, which tastes sweet and delicious, and it also has the effects of nourishing lungs and relieving cough, nourishing yin and promoting body fluid.

Xie Xingchen laughed: "Get rich, rich, we found something good again this time!"

The two robots wanted to help dig licorice, but Xie Xingchen waved his hands away.

He asked the sharp-eyed people to continue looking for licorice, while he squatted in front of the licorice.

Digging carefully, he was afraid of hurting its roots.

After the licorice was dug out, Xie Xingchen couldn't help but wiped his face, but he forgot that his hands were dirty, and this wipe made himself into a pretty face.

Xie Xingchen got up.

After stretching his waist, he clasped his hands together and made a trumpeting gesture at the two robots in the distance: "Fat Cai, Fu Gui, did you two find any other licorice?"

The two robots said in unison: "No."

Although Xie Xingchen's answer was not disappointing, it did not make him very happy.

Xie Xingchen walked over, followed the two robots and bent down to explore.

Suddenly a banana fell down and hit his head...

Xie Xingchen was dumbfounded.

Looking up, he saw a similar monkey.

Seeing Xie Xingchen looking up at him, the monkey danced happily.

It yelled "Chi Chi Chi Chi", pulled another banana from a bunch of bananas on the tree next to it, and threw it at Xie Xingchen.

Xie Xingchen: "..."

Grass (a kind of plant), does this horse send him off or smash him?

Unable to understand the monkey's intentions, Xie Xingchen dared not go forward.

However, seeing that Xie Xingchen didn't take out what he wanted, the monkey grabbed his own banana and quickly climbed down.

Looking at the banana placed in front of him, Xie Xingchen was speechless for a moment.

Unable to understand what the monkey was thinking, he took two steps back.

Seeing him retreat, the monkey called out louder "Chi Chi Chi Chi".

However——Xie Xingchen still couldn't understand what it wanted to do.

Until the monkey took out a straw out of nowhere.

Xie Xingchen:?

Xie Xingchen suddenly realized.

Knock, it turns out that the monkey wants coconuts!

Absolutely, even animals have learned to barter these days?

Seeing that Xie Xingchen didn't take the banana, the monkey who mistakenly thought he was dissatisfied jumped up and down several times, then turned and ran away.

While running it also looked back at him.

Xie Xingchen: Emmm...

If he didn't get it wrong, the monkey seemed to be beckoning him to follow?
