"Hey, after discovering the sea stone flower community, you can set up independent coordinates for the growth and supply of rare dishes and ingredients. The price is 100,000 points. You can use the shuttle door to go back and forth."
So, I really have a choice?
Then... mark it...
Under the sea surface where the sea bluestone reef group is located, you can vaguely see an undulating shadow like a horned dragon stretching towards the land. This is the product of ocean invasion and drastic changes in terrain after the cataclysm. It should have been a branch of Zushan.
Now only some reefs are vaguely exposed from the water.
Most of the surfaces of these reefs are covered with deep cracks, and clusters of curled sea stone flowers extend their branches from the cracks, enjoying the light and air above the sea surface.
Lin Chou picked up two broken pieces of sea bluestone and bumped them against each other. There was a "click", a string of sparks, and his arms were numb.
"Oh, what a hard stone, what a powerful sea stone flower!"
The Black Heart System evaluates Sea Lithops as an "inactive" plant. In other words, this thing is not like Nepenthes, which has strong active aggressiveness.
Excluding the original energy contained inside, it is actually an enhanced version of ordinary plants.
A seastone flower can be found in every crack in the sea bluestone, big or small. It is deeply rooted in the rock and is extremely tough. With Lin Chou's huge strength, he was unable to pull out the seastone flower.
If I didn't have a handy shovel that could easily shovel the sea blue stone into pieces, I would really have no choice but to use this sea stone flower.
A small seastone flower the size of a finger had a large root system rooted in the sea bluestone that was nearly one meter long. Lin Chou had to use a handy shovel to shovel off the sea bluestone piece by piece and beat it into pieces before the sea bluestone could be removed.
Take out the stone flowers completely.
After four hours of smashing rocks, I only got a small handful of sea stone flowers, less than two kilograms.
"enough."
Lin Chou was sweating profusely, his palms were a little red and swollen from the stones, and he sat down on the water.
A tael of sea stone flower can be used sparingly to make ten bowls of sea stone flower jelly. Two pounds of sea stone flower is enough to last for a long time.
There was a discordant crunching sound behind him. Lin Chou turned around and saw Gungun sitting on a huge rock eating and drinking.
Next to him were a pile of leftover oyster shells, a few crab limbs, and a wriggling octopus.
Lin Chou was immediately furious. Those fat and tender crabs on Black Reef Island, I didn't even look at the crab hairs and they got into your stomach. It's okay if you don't help me with my work now.
Eating alone again??
"belch."
The octopus, which was squirming with its claws and claws, rolled into the mouth like noodles and let out a full burp.
"Ouch."
A half-meter-long crab claw slowly floated in front of Lin Chou.
"I'll eat your sister!!"
Gungun scratched his head and thought for a while, and another shell floated in front of Lin Chou.
"I..."
Lin Chou was about to spray, but was attracted by the warm light in the shell.
There are dozens of black pearls in the oyster shell with a strange shape. The jet-black color exudes gentleness and tranquility. The natural black metallic luster changes endlessly, producing malachite green, rich purple, ocean blue and other colorful colors, which is beautiful.
Huan.
The shell trembled slightly, and the pearls inside also began to rotate, drawing even circles along the arc-shaped bottom of the shell.
This means that these pearls are absolutely round and flawless and can be called real walking beads.
The diameter of the largest one exceeds five centimeters. If placed before the catastrophe, this would have been a priceless treasure. As for now, it is considered a rare thing.
If you pick out an exotic beast source crystal at random, its magnificent and brilliant color is enough to surpass any other type of gemstone.
Source crystal is more precious than gemstones.
"Go home, go home!"
"Friendly reminder, the temporary mission "Ambition of the Sea" has not been completed. Please collect ingredients, appreciate the scenery of the ocean, and make..."
"Hey, Black Heart System, you didn't stipulate that you have to complete this dish at sea, right? I already know what to cook, and you can start working on it when you get back."
The system pondered for a long time, "Good."
Three hours later, the Lin family restaurant was located.
In front of the gate of Nepenthes, a large wooden sign is inserted crookedly, which is very spectacular.
"Boss Lin! You are not authentic!"
"My dearest and dearest brother Lin, when you read this sentence, the brave and invincible Shan Ye is sharpening his knife at home and extends his most sincere greetings to you: I call you your fourth uncle and grandpa!"
"Why is it closed again? It's cold."
"Hehe, little brother Lin, sister has been here~"
"Bring the night bird to the door. The night bird is safe. You are not here. I will visit you another day."
"The slave family is waiting for you to come back~" There is a big red heart drawn on the back of this board.
Seeing this, Lin Chou was so excited that he pulled out all the signs and put away his own small blackboard.
Well, this thing will be of great use in the future.
"who?"
Aka's voice.
"I."
"Many people have come to see you in the past few days since you were away."
"There is Huangda Mountain, there is..."
Lin Chou held up a bunch of signs in his hand to indicate that he already knew, and threw them into the kitchen to serve as firewood.
Chi Zhi rushed out from the newly built simple hut next to the coconut tree, and rushed to Gungun with a look of joy and worry.
"Lord Blood God, how can you, with your body of gold, follow random people? You are a god. You must not be contaminated by the stench of these mortals, especially some useless male creatures."
Lin Chou yawned and said calmly, "We will be open tomorrow - minus these few days, you will have to wash dishes for nine months and eighteen days."
"Hmph, stupid male creature, our Blood God tribe must keep our word!"
"As long as you know."
Chi only hesitated for a moment, "There's something wrong with the fragrant red beans in the yard these days."
"Um?"
"Some are wilting, with branches, leaves and fruits showing signs of shrinking and falling off."
Lin Chou exclaimed, Naxiang Hongdou grew up relying on Xiaoqiu's body fluids. Xiaoqiu had been hanging around Gungun's neck for so long, so it would be strange that Naxiang Hongdou didn't have any problems.
"Go away~!"
Gungun's ears perked up, he pushed Chi Zhi away, and came over with a flattering look on his face, "Ouch?"
"Take your bow, soak it in water, and help me water the flowers in the yard."
"Ouch!"
Chi Zhi glared and said angrily, "How could you let Lord Blood God do such a crude servant's work? You... hmph, the gods will punish you!"
Lin Chou's eyelids were about to stick together. As he climbed up the tree house, he said casually, "You can help your Lord Blood God do it together."
"..."
Chi Zhi had no choice but to go to the well behind with Gungun to fetch water, wash the autumn leaves, and water the flowers.
Xiaoqiu has shown no sign of waking up since she was controlled by the blood beast once.
It's strange that Lin Chou can always feel some strange connection between Gungun and Xiaoqiu, just like him and Maoqiu.
