Under his wise guidance, Tuozi had already learned how to count.
Learning to count right after hatching—what a prodigy!
"You've already mastered the essence of counting. Next, we're moving on to something even more important—learning what's edible!"
With a grand wave of his hand, Yan Huan confidently led Tuozi to a relatively open patch of grass at the edge of Life Garden.
Some food awaiting processing had been piled up there.
Yan Huan casually picked up a brightly colored mushroom covered in strange spots and waved it in front of Tuozi.
"Watch carefully. The flashier the colors on this thing, the more amazing it'll feel after you eat it... so you can't eat it."
Next, he picked up a dry, blackened branch.
"This is hard, has no nutrition, and if you eat it, you won't be able to poop. Can't eat this either."
Then he pointed at a nearby pile of fresh red soil, the staple food of Earth Beasts.
"You know this one, so I won't say much."
"Come on, let's test you." Yan Huan casually grabbed a handful of mixed weeds, pebbles, and a little red soil from the ground, holding it before Tuozi's nose.
"Which things in here can be eaten? Pick them out for me..."
Tuozi leaned close to the mixture and sniffed hard, its little eyes utterly focused.
First, it carefully licked several weeds aside with its tongue, then nudged a few pebbles away with its nose.
Finally, it precisely picked out the only small clump of red soil from the pile with its mouth.
It raised its head and swallowed it with a gulp.
Then it looked at Yan Huan, its tail wagging in small motions.
"Very good. You've graduated from the kindergarten beginner class."
"Now comes the kindergarten intermediate class test."
