There were quite a lot of moths and butterflies in this forest, and Qin Yi quickly caught a large number of them without Gu Xi taking action.
Guessing that it was enough, the two returned along the original route.
Wei Heng was a diligent man with quick hands and feet. By the time they returned, more than half of Gu Xi's 100 acres of wasteland had been cleared.
Qin Shi, with a cold look on his face, stood in the cleared ground and used his supernatural powers to strangle the roots of the plants deep underground.
Qin Yi took one look and handed the moths and butterflies to Gu Xi. He happily ran back to the other side of the stream and brought the watermelon seeds.
Hearing that there were also watermelons, Wei Heng's eyes were filled with envy.
He jumped off the farm machine and asked the two wood-type supernatural beings present, "What should we plant first?"
"Watermelon." Gu Xi and Qin Yi said in unison without hesitation.
Gu Xi originally wanted to see what would happen to the plants grown by other wood-type superpowers; unexpectedly, Qin Yi just gave her the watermelon seeds.
But the reason she gave made Gu Xi unable to escape.
"Gu Xi, the watermelons I planted before were only edible once or twice out of ten times, but the coefficient of variation was very high. The taste is completely different from the taste described in those food videos before the end of the world.
no the same."
"Besides, I only have these watermelon seeds in my hand. If I fail again, there will be no watermelon to eat." The little sweet girl said pitifully.
Watermelon seeds are extremely rare seeds in major bases. I don’t know how long it will take to apply next time.
Gu Xi was silent.
Soon, she knew the reason why Qin Yihui's planting failed.
——These watermelon seeds contain a lot of weird energy. According to existing measurement standards, the coefficient of variation should be around 2.5.
If the seeds are like this, how can it be possible to grow watermelons with a low coefficient of variation?
Ordinarily, Gu Xi shouldn't expose herself as the situation is unclear.
But she really wanted to eat watermelon.
As the saying goes, people with good skills are bold.
Because Qin Yi, a wood-type superpower, was beside him, Gu Xi operated extremely carefully this time.
After she injected her own powers into these watermelon seeds, although she did not devour them, she directly enveloped the strange energy, and then induced them to sprout and germinate...
A minute later, when he saw the watermelon seedlings blooming, without Gu Xi opening his mouth, Qin Yi quickly made a cage with rose flower vines and trapped all the moths and butterflies in the watermelon field.
After waiting for a few more minutes, Gu Xi continued to use supernatural powers to induce birth.
Soon, large, ripe green watermelons covered the ground.
Gu Xi calmly withdrew her powers. From the beginning to the end, she did not swallow that strange energy.
Seeing that the watermelon in the field was ripe, Wei Heng and Qin Yi looked at each other and excitedly jumped towards the big watermelon.
Even cool sister Qin Shi's face showed a bit of expectation.
Soon, the two men picked the largest watermelon. Qin Yi couldn't even wait to take the knife, so he condensed water into a knife and divided the watermelon into four large pieces.
Gu Xi took a piece and tasted it. The taste was far inferior to the watermelons she had eaten before. She could only say that it was barely edible.
But the other three on the side looked happy and satisfied while eating.
"It's delicious!" Qin Yi took a bite and his eyes lit up: "It's more delicious than the watermelons I grew before."
"It's not bad." Qin Shi is her elder sister after all, and she is much more stable. Before eating, she took out a portable variation detector and tested it: "The coefficient of variation is only 2.7. Gu Xi, you are very powerful."
These watermelon seeds were obtained through her hand, so Qin Shi naturally knew what was going on.
To be honest, the coefficient of variation only increased by 0.2. She had only seen this kind of situation at the Central Base Superpower Research Institute.
But the person who took action that time was a high-level wood superpower user with a power level of 9.
Qin Shi couldn't help but take a second look at Gu Xi. Maybe this person's use of wood powers was even better than her sister's.
No wonder the higher-ups took the news so seriously...
Gu Xi didn't know what she was thinking. When she saw her looking over, he just smiled lightly and said nothing. But in private, he quietly "purified" the piece of watermelon in his hand using supernatural powers.
Without the strange energy causing trouble, Gu Xi tasted the familiar taste in her memory again, and she immediately narrowed her eyes in comfort.
In order not to leave any traces, she decided to eat the watermelon rind as well.
After being purified by her superpower, the watermelon rind tastes extra crisp, sweet and delicious.
Qin was stunned when he saw her eating watermelon rinds: "Gu Xi, no matter how much you like it, you don't have to do this. There are still plenty of watermelons in the fields..."
Gu Xi was still thinking about how to get rid of this problem when Wei Heng suddenly coughed twice and whispered: "Well, Gu Xi has been living alone in the ruins before..."
Qin Yi suddenly stopped talking. To make a living in the ruins, food and water are always the most important things. As long as it is food, there is no reason to waste it...
Qin Yi felt a little sorry, thought about it, and said to Gu Xi: "Gu Xi, you grew these watermelons, so I give them to you, but can you give me some watermelon seeds and grow me watermelons in the future?"
Gu Xi thought about it and agreed.
——Who told her that she was so poor now and didn’t have a penny in her pocket?
Moreover, she really couldn't refuse such a modest request from such a lively and cute little sweet girl.
After eating the watermelons in their hands, the four of them sharpened their knives and went to the melon fields. These watermelons must be picked as soon as possible and left in the fields. Who knows whether the coefficient of variation will suddenly become high?
After harvesting the watermelons in the field, Gu Xi thought that the captured butterflies could not be wasted, so she turned back to the house and took out the tomato seeds.
The same operation was used to grow tomatoes once and ripen them twice. The tomatoes were grown very successfully this time because the coefficient of variation of the seeds was relatively low, and the fruit produced tasted even better than the original watermelons.
Wei Heng alone ate four of them in one sitting!
You know, these are mutant tomatoes, and each fruit weighs more than a pound.
Not to mention, he just gnawed a large piece of watermelon that weighed at least five kilograms!
After finishing the tomatoes, Gu Xi looked at the time, then turned to the kitchen and brought out a pot of large sweet potatoes that had been steamed in the morning.
When they took the first bite of these sweet potatoes, the eyes of the Qin sisters changed!
Since the great mutation of animals and plants thirty years ago, there have been very few foods with a coefficient of variation within 1!
Not to mention that the coefficient of variation of these sweet potatoes is basically around 0.5.
This was the first time the two sisters had eaten food that tasted so pure and sweet!
Even Qin Shi, who was as steady as Qin Shi, seemed to have tears in his eyes.
The two sisters secretly exchanged a look.
Gu Xi held the sweet potato in her hand, lowered her eyes, and ate it in small bites. Little green sprouts sneaked out and swirled around her fingertips.
She was wondering where the bag of sweet potatoes she sent out yesterday afternoon would eventually be sent.
After struggling for many years in the darkest period of the apocalypse, Gu Xi was used to being alert - no matter how deeply she slept, she would wake up at the slightest sign of disturbance.
As soon as the man approached the other side of the stream last night, Gu Xi discovered him.
She had seen too much darkness and misery in the apocalypse... Thinking about the two young girls living there, Gu Xi felt a little uneasy and released a ray of spiritual power.
Then I "saw" a man in black taking the big bag of sweet potatoes that she had given away during the day from the hands of the two sisters...
At this moment, Qin Yi suddenly said: "Gu Xi, our sisters will work for you from now on, okay? We don't want anything else, you can just give us some sweet potatoes..."
Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, Wei Heng who was listening to the side flatly refused: "No. It's enough for Gu Xi to have me as a laborer!"
He thought, Gu Xi only wanted a hundred acres of wasteland in total, and she was a civil engineering major, so on this small amount of land, why would she need others to work on it?
He alone is enough!
Wei Heng was determined to keep his job and never let anyone take it away from him.
