Chapter 60 This is about planting ginseng.
That evening, Yuan Baoshuang gave two large red envelopes to his mother and said with a smile, "Mom, I went to the White Horse Restaurant again today."
Yuan's mother smiled and accepted the red envelope, her eyes narrowing into slits as she laughed: "Okay, Mom understands. My daughter is so capable. I'll keep it."
A little while later, Yuan's mother came running over and found Yuan Bao: "Daughter, these two red envelopes today, one is 500 yuan and the other is 3000 yuan."
After a moment's thought, Yuan Bao understood the gist of it: "Mom, it's alright, just accept it! They're business people, they wouldn't let us suffer a loss."
"It must be because the dragon beard candy I taught them to make last time made the restaurant a fortune, and the sleep-aiding medicinal sweet soup I taught them today—Boss Feng himself has trouble sleeping—these two things combined earned him an extra 1000 today."
After hearing this, Aunt Yuan went back to her room, relieved.
Yuan Bao turned around and went back to his room, where he lay comfortably on the bed and opened the task panel.
Main quest: In the first monthly exam of the second semester of the third year of junior high school, maintain the top ranking in the grade. Reward: 500 points and one chance to win a prize.
Yuan Bao thought that there were still a few days before school started, so he would put this task aside for now.
Seeing that the side quest "Challenge the Mysterious Cave" was still open, she asked curiously, "Little 9, why hasn't the quest to challenge the Mysterious Cave been completed yet?"
Little 9 imitated Yuan Bao, lazily lying down next to him and weakly replying, "Yes, Master, there should be another big boss in that mysterious cave. This mission won't end until we defeat it." After saying that, he rolled over and let Yuan Bao rub his belly.
Yuan Bao couldn't help but chuckle at Xiao 9's adorable appearance.
It must have eaten its fill in its space to look like this; it's practically laughing itself to death. What a panda grandpa!
"Oh, I see. Then let's put this mission on hold for now. I don't want to get involved in any fighting or killing for the time being."
Little 9 rolled her eyes arrogantly: "Hmph! Do you think I don't know you suffered a setback last time fighting a level 4 spider, and now you're too scared to go directly against it?"
Yuan Bao picked up Little 9 and gave it a hard slap on its round bottom: "Hmph! What's wrong? Don't you know what it means to see through someone but not say anything, and still be good friends? Hehehe!"
Little 9 also imitated, "Lelal lelal lelal!" Then the two little ones played happily on the bed.
After a while, Yuan Baocai continued to look at the task panel, but after being provoked by Xiao 9, he couldn't help but check the system Q&A wizard's description of the poisonous fog spider boss in the mysterious cave.
The Q&A section details the unique skills and abilities of the Big Boss in the Mysterious Cave, making it a highly challenging opponent for players.
First, environmental control:
The Poisonous Mist Spider boss in the Mysterious Cave can unleash a dense, dark mist, shrouding the entire cave in complete darkness. This not only makes it difficult for opponents to see their surroundings but also interferes with their vision and perception. Within the mist, an opponent's field of vision is greatly reduced, and any subtle movement can be concealed, increasing the risk of a surprise attack.
The final boss can also alter the cave's terrain. It can create steep cliffs, narrow passages, and intricate maze-like formations. These terrain changes not only increase the difficulty of the opponent's movements but can also cause them to lose their way during exploration. For example, the previously flat ground may suddenly become rugged, with deep trenches and cracks, requiring players to carefully jump and climb to continue.
As Yuan Bao finished reading, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue: "Hehehe! Isn't this the big boss set up to help me pass the level? Doesn't he know that I already have the Heavenly Eye and the Spirit Cloud Steps, which are just right to deal with the environmental manipulation of the Poison Mist Spider big boss!"
Yuan Bao then examined the attack capabilities of the Poison Mist Spider boss.
The Poison Mist Spider boss can unleash powerful energy blasts that shoot at opponents at high speed, causing massive damage. These energy blasts have strong penetrating power, easily piercing through enemy defenses. When facing the Poison Mist Spider's energy blasts, opponents need to quickly dodge or use shields to block them.
"I'm not afraid of this either. Although I don't have a shield yet, I can dodge quickly." Yuan Bao thought of a solution as he looked around.
The Poison Mist Spider boss releases a highly toxic mist that permeates the cave, causing continuous damage to opponents. The poison not only corrodes their bodies but also reduces their movement speed and attack power. Opponents trapped in the mist need to find an antidote as quickly as possible, or their health will steadily decline.
"This one does seem to be more powerful than the previous spiders. My intermediate-level anti-toxic cloth armor probably won't be enough," Yuan Bao analyzed objectively.
Next up is the defensive mechanism of the Poison Mist Spider boss.
The Poison Mist Spider boss possesses a sturdy shield that can withstand various attacks.
The shield can absorb a large amount of damage, making it difficult for opponents' attacks to have a substantial impact. The shield's strength changes over time, and opponents need to find the shield's weaknesses or use special skills to break it.
"Damn it, those poisonous mist spiders even have regenerative abilities!" Yuan Bao couldn't help but curse when he saw this.
The Poison Mist Spider boss has powerful regenerative abilities; it can quickly recover its health after being attacked.
Even if the opponent successfully damages the big boss, it can recover to its original state in a short time.
This regenerative ability gives the big boss great endurance and resilience in battle.
"Alright!" Seeing this, Yuan Bao temporarily admitted defeat. He couldn't win, he simply couldn't! So he skipped the part!
Let's look at the other tasks. Hey! I found a legendary task.
The task requires her to plant a thousand-year-old ginseng, and she can earn 1000 points upon completion.
Yuan Bao thought this task was quite simple. She had ginseng seeds and an accelerator, and the task didn't specify a completion time. It was practically a free point.
Yuan Bao said what he thought aloud, but Xiao 9 said, "My lord, think about it, what kind of game would make you willing to get addicted?"
This stumped Yuan Bao, as she had never thought about this question before. However, it didn't stop her from answering: "This game, Xiao 9, is the game you introduced me to. I'm willing to get addicted to it."
Xiao 9 nodded and continued, "That's right. For a game to be enjoyable and addictive, not all tasks need to be difficult. Tasks like the Mysterious Cave Boss are usually not worth trying."
On the contrary, they set up many tasks that seem easy and can be completed effortlessly, which suits today's "easy win" culture.
"Wow, wow! Little 9, the way you look so innocent yet pretend to be profound and spout nonsense, somehow makes a lot of sense." Although Yuan Bao somewhat agreed, he still relentlessly teased Little 9.
After accepting the legendary quest, she took out ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum seeds from her inventory, and entered the space with a thought, arriving at the herb field.
When Little White, Little Fox, and Little Yellow Chicken saw Yuan Bao arrive, they all rushed over, chirping, "Master, Master!"
Looking at these hardworking and enthusiastic little cuties, Yuan Bao suddenly realized what Xiao 9 meant by "lying down and winning culture."
Once I was basically self-sufficient in my space, I rarely had to worry about it anymore. Every day, my harvest, herbs, and fishing would generate income automatically. It felt like I hadn't had to worry about money in a long time. This kind of life was so great.
After expressing his feelings, Yuan Bao sent the little cuties off to their own tasks.
Yuan Bao found an empty medicinal herb field, carefully buried the ginseng seeds in the soil, watered them appropriately, applied fertilizer, and then turned the accelerator to its maximum.
Just then, a blur appeared before Yuan Bao's eyes, and a chubby little baby wearing a red bib started dancing and waving his arms in front of him.
The chubby little baby was bouncing around, looking incredibly cute. Yuan Bao was so engrossed in watching him that he unconsciously grinned and chuckled foolishly.
Who knew that the chubby little boy would suddenly turn and run away while he was jumping around.
Yuan Bao was stunned when the little fox ran over and anxiously called out, "Master, you planted a ginseng baby! When it blooms with red flowers, you have to tie a red string to it, otherwise it will run away and be very difficult to catch it again."
"Ah! I thought it was playing with me, but it ran away!" Yuan Bao finally realized.
"So how can we catch it now?" Yuan Bao asked anxiously.
The little fox was so anxious that it jumped up and down, saying, "Tie the red rope to its hand, that way we can pull it back and not have to worry about it running away again."
"Oh, okay, I'll give it a try!" Yuan Bao said as he quickly bought a red rope from the store and used the Spirit Cloud Step technique to chase after the ginseng doll.
Yuan Bao moved with incredible speed and agility, swiftly traversing the medicinal herb field, his eyes fixed on the ginseng doll in front of him.
As she ran, she muttered to herself, "Oh, my little ginseng baby, don't run away! Come back to your sister, your sister has something delicious for you!"
Although the ginseng baby heard this, it just kept laughing and jumping, ignoring Yuan Bao.
Yuan Bao: "......" Is this guy an idiot?!
Ginseng Doll: "You're stupid! You're the stupid one! Your whole family is stupid! I wonder who was just standing there watching me run away like an idiot! And grinning like a fool!"
Silly Yuan Bao felt a real pain in her face, so she sped up and chased after Ginseng Baby. When she was not far away, she seized the opportunity and lunged forward. At the same time, she reached out and tried to loop the red rope around Ginseng Baby's wrist, but she missed. Instead, Ginseng Baby flicked her little arm and the rope ended up wrapped around her hand.
Yuan Bao pulled hard, but the red rope only got tighter. She frantically tried to untangle it, almost tripping over herself, looking quite comical.
The baby ginseng was still beside her, jumping and laughing!
This infuriated Yuan Bao, so he tried again.
With the agility of the Lingyun Steps, catching up with the ginseng baby is not difficult. The main challenge is to lasso it with the red rope!
After several attempts, Yuan Bao felt he had found the rhythm of the ginseng baby's hopping, and finally used the red rope to loop around the ginseng baby's wrist and steadily pulled it back.
Looking at the playful baby ginseng in front of him, Yuan Bao breathed a sigh of relief and a gratified smile appeared on his face.
Then they tied the other end of the red rope to the little fox's hand, so now they wouldn't have to worry about the naughty little child running away.
