Shu: My God! / Shu, How About You Go Outside and Have a Child?

Ursus is almost completely rotten, so they can only frantically shift the blame.

Therefore, Huang Cao did not hate the people of this country, but rather the feudal system of this country.

Ursus's management would be considered incredibly powerful in any world.

Chapter 115 Millet: My God!

Two months later, in the Great Wilderness City.

Shu had her younger brother accept a package herself, because it was delivered by Mr. Huang.

That's right, she already knew about Huang Cao's reputation.

After all, how could Ji possibly hide anything from the meticulous Shu? He finds it hardest to lie to his own sister.

Shu exposed Ji's lie with just a few words.

I was a little angry at first, but considering that my younger brother was doing it for me, I couldn't bear to say anything more.

Even if it's just an IOU, the accounts still need to be settled clearly, even between siblings.

Just looking at the price of the tea, Shu's brows twitched.

A single tea leaf costs as much as half a year's worth of food, but she has no choice but to drink it.

This is really hard to pay back... He's really gone too far.

As the most frugal woman among her twelve siblings, Shu had virtually no income other than her fixed salary from the imperial court.

Both her wallet and her body were impoverished in every sense. Even if she had them, she wouldn't bother taking them. So how could she compare to her wealthy younger brother?

I can't refuse to drink it, otherwise Ji will definitely keep looking at me with those pitiful eyes.

I should have known better than to say it so soon...

Let's see what's inside the package first.

Huang Cao, this gentleman's name sounds like that of Yan Country, but why is he in Victoria?

Moreover, tea leaves alone can combat the corruption of Demons...

Actually, when the last batch of tea arrived, Huang Cao wrote a letter to Shu, saying, "Next time, there will be a special package for you."

Shu opened the package sent by Huang Cao, and inside lay three test tubes, each filled with golden Seed.

There was also a letter, which greatly shocked Shu after reading it.

These rice Seed can be harvested eight times a year... and the yield is extremely high.

Moreover, it has a strong ability to resist diseases and pests, and can survive as long as it has food and water.

Is this still a normal plant?

Even if millet were to use its own abilities to catalyze the Seed, it would be impossible to achieve eight harvests in a year.

She can indeed make plants grow instantly, but once harvested, she can no longer use her abilities to accelerate their growth; they will immediately wither and die, essentially squeezing out all their potential.

To achieve 80% ripeness, you have to change the Seed and replant them in the soil, then repeat the process, which is very laborious.

But these Seed don't need...

"Is it really that amazing? Can people outside really do this?"

Ensuring that the people of this land are well-fed has been her lifelong wish, not only as a promise, but also as a way of understanding herself.

She might have felt a sense of responsibility before, but now she has completely embraced it as an integral part of herself.

You can tell from her figure that she gave abundance to the earth and kept poverty for herself.

Shu didn't think the person who wrote the letter was bragging, because it meant nothing to the other person unless they were trying to trick him.

Do I seem like someone who is easily fooled?

It's so rude of you to come all this way from so far away just to tease me. You've got your hopes up that I can't reach you, haven't you?

Without delay, Shu, always a man of action, planted all the Seed in the rice paddy that very afternoon.

Generally speaking, this is not advisable, as it can lead to root rot. However, the letter states that it's okay to be a little rough with these Seed, as they can survive as long as they have nutrients.

This time of year is not suitable for rice growth; winter is approaching and the temperature is getting lower and lower.

But the millet still planted the Seed, after all, it might be an opportunity.

An opportunity to ensure everyone has enough to eat.

The next day, after a year of hard work, the millet awoke from its warm bed, got dressed, and ran to the fields that were about to freeze over.

A large patch of thriving buds broke through the hard ice, displaying their vibrant green color in the cold wind.

Shu was truly shocked. Even so-called cold-resistant plants mostly stop growing in winter and secrete various substances to protect themselves.

How can growth consume so much energy? This is completely illogical...

But that's the truth; in the freezing cold, this plant can grow wildly, ignoring its environment.

For the next month, Shu observed the rice seedlings every day and found that they were growing very healthily.

It went through the entire growth process within this month and finally bore its own fruit in the cold wind.

The rice is growing and sprouting in winter... what am I dreaming about...?

The Great Wilderness City isn't a particularly southern place; it snows even in the dead of winter.

The water under this rice plant was even frozen.

If this level of success continues, eight harvests a year will definitely not be a problem.

But what will be the price?

Shu placed his hand on the ice, his thoughts gradually connecting with this land.

"It absorbs more than 30 percent more nutrients than other varieties... which is acceptable."

Nutrients can be obtained from external sources, but rice that can be harvested eight times a year is rare, and the yield can be seen from the fruits produced.

It's better than at least the best rice varieties in the country, but does Victoria even grow rice?

Shu felt it was incredible, because she was the most authoritative agricultural expert in Yan Country. Although she had not taken any degree exams, the knowledge she had accumulated through long-term farming was enough to make her stand out from everyone else.

She knew geography better than anyone.

Although Catastrophe may hinder the progress of countries around the world, they are all well-informed about each other's situations, and there are always a few intelligence agencies that are quick to act.

Moreover, for reasons that are tacitly understood, this region has maintained a policy of turning a blind eye to the intelligence agencies of various countries.

I know you're an intelligence agent, but I won't do anything to you other than gather basic information.

Especially during a period of rapid development in various countries, who knows what kind of development the countries on the other side of the world have actually achieved?

To avoid the risk of suddenly discovering a major problem without their knowledge, no country wants its intelligence agencies to be completely destroyed.

They'll give you face when you need to, but whether you can get back alive after obtaining the secrets depends on your abilities, since it involves core interests.

If it's about gathering information on social development, a few days of confinement and a warning would suffice, since we're doing the same thing ourselves.

There's no other way; this is a product of necessity. It's not surprising that anything strange happens on this bizarre land.

Therefore, millet can also provide information about the geography and climate of other countries.

Although he had no feelings for the official government of the Great Yan, in order to ensure that the people of this land had enough to eat, Shu still wrote a letter to the Great Yan True Dragon, presenting the wonders of the Huang Cao Seed in its entirety.

This is also the effect Huang Cao wanted to achieve. As for why he didn't go through normal diplomatic channels...

Of course, it was also to save time and at the same time show my face in front of Shushu.

Chapter 116 Shu, why don't you go outside and have a baby?

After handing the letter to the Si Sui Tai, Shu picked up his pen and wrote another letter.

This matter is of great importance, and the True Dragon of Yan Country must have noticed it.

It is estimated that he will use himself as an intermediary to invite the Speaker of Victoria to come here to discuss cooperation matters.

While Shu may indeed be detached from worldly affairs, that doesn't mean she lacks any political acumen.

Just because she's unwilling to do something doesn't mean she can't think of it.

Coincidentally, she also wanted to know why the other party sent her the Seed.

Aside from the usual greetings, most of the letters Huang Cao sent were just meaningless drivel.

Come to think of it... I don't think I've learned Victoria English very well either...

So soon after I started writing, I was troubled.

While I wouldn't say I completely don't understand Victoria, I'm pretty close; I only understand some documents.

The Victoria vocabulary in the literature is completely different from the vocabulary used by ordinary people.

Unlike the Yan Country, when creating something new, they often take several characters from other places and combine them to name the thing.

Even if ordinary people don't know what this thing is, they can understand some things just by looking at the name. Even if they want to change careers, they can get started quickly. Many Yan Country words can be understood at a glance.

But Victoria is completely different! To enter a new industry, you have to memorize a whole book of words.

Do you think only foreigners need to learn vocabulary when reading Victoria documents?

No, Victorians need it too!

Victoria words are so difficult to understand unless you study them. In most cases, you can't tell the meaning from the letters, although you can sometimes, since they are two words combined.

However, as more and more new things came along, this combination became particularly bloated, but Yan Country was different.

To keep up with international planting techniques, Shu recently learned Victoria...

Fortunately, based on previous letters, Shu felt that the other party should also be able to understand the Yan Country's writing system.

As for having the people at the Si Sui Tai write it for me? Forget it...

Isn't it embarrassing to have someone else watching you write such a private letter?

Shu had a gut feeling that getting along well with this Mr. Huang might be beneficial to her brothers and sisters.

If nothing unexpected happens, I won't be able to leave this Great Wilderness City, not only because of the promise, but also because of what's buried underground.

Making more friends may provide you with more options for the future.

With this in mind, Shu and Huang Cao, who lived thousands of miles away, became pen pals who could talk about anything.

Although it takes more than a month to get a reply each time, the anticipation is a nice spice, isn't it?

Six months later.

This year is another New Year without family for Shu, and Ji can't always be by her side either.

After reminding his older sister to drink tea every day, Ji left Great Wilderness City to continue his business in a distant place.

It wasn't that he was tired of staying there, but rather that the Great Yan government had been keeping a close eye on their every move.

It's already a big taboo for two people of the same Sui to meet, let alone stay together all the time.

Ji doesn't care about anyone's opinion, but he'd rather avoid trouble if possible.

"What did Mr. Huang Cao send again... um... a cherry with a face?"

Recently, Mr. Huang Cao has been sending me a lot of strange little plants.

A cabbage that can punch, peas that can shoot peas, and a chili pepper that's so spicy it makes you want to breathe fire... This time, they sent a cherry with a face.

The letter also said that cherries are like larger firecrackers; if you squeeze them a little and throw them, they will explode.

"It looks like something Nian likes. She ate the chili peppers last time, so I'll give her the cherries this time..."

As Shu gazed at the newly formed, verdant peach trees by the window, his thoughts drifted to the distant Kazdel, and then to the Eden.

"I really want to visit that land where everyone can have enough to eat and wear if I have the chance."

It has been half a year since Huang Cao first received the rice Seed. During this time, Huang Cao has invited Shu to his home more than once.
