Chapter 140: Work Hard
Ruan Tang asked, "This mission doesn't have any requirements, right? As long as I teach them how to plant, will that be considered completed?"
The host triggered a side quest, and Ling Ling Jiu received a 100-point reward from the General Administration. One could tell from the way he answered the questions how happy he was at the moment. He said, "Well, the males in the Beast World are very smart and learn quickly. As long as you teach them diligently and provide them with seeds, I believe this quest shouldn't be difficult."
That's true. Not to mention the learning ability of her companions, before the winter season last year, she taught the males of the White Fox Tribe how to make dried bamboo shoots, dried mushrooms, and fried chestnuts. They learned it after just one try. She knew that the people in the Beast World Continent had pretty good brains.
Ruan Tang clapped her hands and prepared to go down the mountain. Since she had to complete the mission, the plan to increase the number of slave orcs at home had to be implemented as soon as possible. She had to go to the market to buy some more. As she walked, she said to Ling Lingjiu, "Okay, I understand. I'll clear these barren mountains at home and plant some crops first."
When Ling Ling Jiu heard the host say this, he quickly shouted, "No, host, by the time your family reclaims the barren hills and plants the crops, this year's warm season will be almost over. If you want to complete your mission, won't you have to wait until next year?"
Ruan Tang descended the mountain at a rapid speed. She felt like she had reached level five, and all aspects of her health had been greatly improved. In addition, she had been taking the body strengthening pills and beauty pills rewarded by the system these days. She felt light and radiant, and full of energy. She was in a good mood and felt like flying down the mountain. After hearing Ling Lingjiu say this, she said, "Is there a time limit for this mission?"
[Not really. Since we've received the mission, we should actively complete it, right, host?] The key is that if the host doesn't start the mission this year, its points will be left hanging!
Ruan Tang saw through his little trick at a glance and said as she ran, "The warm season has just begun, why are you so anxious? No matter how important the mission is, I have to take care of my family affairs first."
Having said that, she had actually already started planning to talk to the tribe leader about this matter when she bought the slave beast and returned to the tribe. After all, he was the head of the tribe, and planting had never been done before in the Beast World Continent. It was still unknown whether the tribe members could accept it or cooperate.
"Mom, look, our row has already dug most of the way. Our group will get first place!" Seeing her mother coming down the mountain, Yitian wagged her furry tail and reported the battle situation to her mother.
"How come your group is first? We are almost at the same level, okay?" Yi Han picked up stones quickly with his claws, and did not stop even when arguing with his third sister.
She said to her brothers and sisters around her, "Don't stop, speed up, we have to overtake them."
"Okay, okay, keep up the good work!" The little snakes swung their tails very quickly. They must get first place today. Mother said that the reward for first place is a crossbow for each of them!
In the past, when they wanted it, their mother always said that the kids were still young and could only play with it when they were older. Today, they begged and pleaded for a long time before their mother agreed to use the crossbow as a reward.
"Mom, do you want to have fun in the mountains?" Luo Chen was tired of digging tree roots, so he stopped and asked his mother who was walking towards him. He also wanted to go play for a while... but he didn't dare to say it because he was afraid that Father Chi Yuan would punish him.
Ruan Tang walked over to the children and saw that they were all very motivated. She smiled and said to Luo Chen, "It's okay, but Mom didn't go there to play. She went to check out the soil over there. After I tested it, the land on the other side of the mountain is also particularly suitable for planting. So everyone should work harder. Once you finish here, go over there and continue to open up new land."
"Ah?" Luo Chen said he didn't want to. Instead of clearing the land, he would rather go hunting in the forest!
"Really? That's great. I like digging holes in the earth, hehe." Yihang likes the joy of digging holes for trees.
"Me too, it's so fun, Mom. I've tried it, and some wild grass roots are sweet!" Jinyou smacked his lips, savoring the sweetness of the tree roots.
"Second brother, why are you even greedier than fourth brother? Why do you even eat wild grass roots? Are you that hungry?" Mo Xiaosi is in the same group with the second brother. She was wondering why the second brother was digging tree roots, stuffing food into his mouth, and making sounds of enjoyment. It turned out that the second brother was so hungry that he ate wild grass roots. Poor second brother!
She felt sorry for her brother, so she took off the animal skin bag and handed it to her second brother, saying, "Brother, I have an omelet here. You can have it. Digging the soil is really hard work. Don't starve."
Ruan Tang smiled. She used to worry about her dozens of children. If they were making a lot of noise every day, her blood pressure would probably soar.
Now that her children are growing up, under the correct guidance and education of her and her partners, her children really love each other very much, and she feels very satisfied in her heart.
Children today are still in their animal form. If all children were to transform into human form, who knows what the picture would be like then. In her previous life, she particularly loved children, so she chose to study medicine, and even chose obstetrics and gynecology as her major. She just wanted to welcome a new life every day...
Unconsciously, her thoughts drifted away again.
"Mom? Mom, what fun thing have you thought of? You're laughing out loud. I want to play too." Luo Chen simply ran to his mother, looked up at her and asked.
"Brother Nine, we all know that you want to be lazy!" Chi Ershijiu knew that his brother Nine didn't want to do these things, so he took his slave orcs to pick up tree roots and stones quickly. They also wanted to be the first. If Brother Nine didn't want to do it, they had to do more and couldn't fall behind.
"I'm not trying to be lazy. I just haven't been with mother for too long and I miss her. If I get close to mother, I can replenish my energy. Mother, don't listen to Twenty-Nine's nonsense. They don't understand that mother has infinite energy. As long as I stay close to you for a while, I can be resurrected with full blood directly like the little snake brothers and sisters said," Luo Chen blinked his fox eyes, smiled at his mother and argued calmly.
Ruan Tang patted his head and said softly, "My dear Luo Chen, if you feel too tired, just take a rest. Our babies are already amazing. They are so young and can help Grandpa and Grandma with things. Grandma is very happy. You are all still growing, so you can't overwork yourself."
She looked at the children who had been working hard in the fields and said, "Come over here, my dears, take a break and eat something to replenish your energy. After you have eaten and rested enough, we can continue working."
"No need, mother. We are working so hard now. The fathers are too fast. There are so many of us kids picking up roots and stones behind us and we can't catch up. We can't rest. We have to rest after we finish this trip." Mo Xiaoqi is usually the closest to his third sister and mother. Today, his third sister is working so hard without a break, so he has to accompany her and do more so that she can do less.
"Mother, Ninth Brother is an exception. Let him rest for a while. We won't rest. We have to finish these quickly. We are still waiting for the reward."
"Luo Chen, look at you, all the sisters haven't rested yet. How can you still be so upset? I really don't want to say anything to you." Jing Chu was in the same group with Luo Chen. He always knew that Luo Chen was lazy, so he didn't say much to him. But now the sisters were still busy working, so Jing Chu couldn't help but say something.
Luo Chen felt embarrassed by his brothers and sisters' criticism, so he said to his mother, "Then I'll go to work too," and went to work in the fields. As he worked, he defended himself, saying, "Oh, okay, okay, why are you all criticizing me? I can just keep working. Actually, I'm not lazy, I just don't like digging in the soil. If I were to go hunting, I would definitely be the first one to run. I've always been very diligent."
"Yeah, yeah, Brother Nine is the most diligent!" Chi Ershijiu nodded his snake head in a very cooperative manner, but his tone did not sound like an affirmative sentence.
"I won't say any more. I have to use actions to correct the image in your minds. Just watch, with my participation, our group will definitely take first place." After Luo Chen finished speaking, he waved his claws quickly, and the mud in the ground was dug all over the sky.
"You're still annoying, Brother Nine, you've got me covered in mud!"
"Exactly. You should learn from the fathers. Even if you're fast, you still have to pay attention to your companions. How can we keep up with you if you're like this?"
Hearing the complaints, Luo Chen quickly stopped and turned around to see that his sisters and the slave beastmen were covered in mud. He stuck out his tongue and apologized, "Uh... I'll be gentler, gentler. Please forgive me, sisters."
His words earned him a few eyerolls from the sisters...
