"What are you saying? Do you want to eat cookies?"
Qin Qi watched Gugu Gaga's gestures. He did not understand them, but he assumed Gugu Gaga was hungry.
He reached into his pocket, took out a cookie, and handed it to Gugu Gaga.
"Guga (...)"
Gugu Gaga was somewhat speechless, but she still accepted the cookie. Then, with a turn, she vanished.
"Ah!"
Qin Qi stared wide-eyed at Gugu Gaga, who had disappeared into thin air.
"Where did my Gugu Gaga go?!"
"Where did my huge Gugu Gaga go?!"
Qin Qi immediately panicked. They had agreed to live a carefree life together, so why had his Gugu Gaga vanished in the blink of an eye?!
Whose cake had he touched? And whose invisible hand had made its move?!
Qin Qi had barely panicked for a moment before Gugu Gaga returned, bringing back a second Gugu Gaga.
She was a Flower Gardener Guga wearing a straw hat and gardener's clothes.
"Guga Guga (We want to farm here, but it's too cold.)"
"Gugu Gaga (Gardener, help us think of a solution.)"
Gugu Gaga pointed at the vegetable garden Qin Qi had planned to cultivate and spoke.
"Guga (Ancestor, I can help, but can you return the watermelon you took before?)"
"Guga, I still need to make watermelon juice for Farmer Doro."
Flower Gardener Guga looked around and nodded, indicating that helping was no problem, but she had a condition.
"Guga (I already ate it. Hmm, how about I give you two cookies!)"
After thinking about it, Gugu Gaga offered two cookies.
"Guga (Five.)"
Flower Gardener Guga said.
For the next while, Gugu Gaga and Flower Gardener Guga began haggling.
Meanwhile, Qin Qi stood to the side, listening to the two penguins endlessly guga-ing at each other until his head hurt.
"Those two aren't secretly cursing me out, are they?"
Qin Qi watched as his Gugas occasionally turned to point at him, and suspicion arose in his heart.
"Guga (This person is pitiful. He has no friends and no family.)"
"Guga (I came to you to help him too, so be generous. Three cookies.)"
Guga pointed at Qin Qi as she spoke.
"Guga (Fine.)"
Flower Gardener Guga looked at Qin Qi and sighed. There was nothing she could do; Gugu Gagas were humanity's good friends.
Gugu Gagas were all kind. They would do everything they could to help people.
"Guga Guga (Human, I negotiated it for you. Five cookies and she'll solve your problem.)"
Gugu Gaga trotted over to Qin Qi, tugged on his clothes, and guga-ed.
"Hmm... you want cookies?"
Qin Qi vaguely understood what Guga meant and took out one cookie.
"Guga (Not enough.)"
"You want two?"
"Guga (Still not enough.)"
"Three?"
"Guga."
"Four?"
"Guga!"
Guga was so anxious that she started stamping her feet.
"Five?"
"Gugu Gaga!"
Gugu Gaga nodded. Finally, the human had understood what she meant.
"Fine, I'll give you five cookies."
Qin Qi had no idea why he had to give five cookies, but the two penguins had been guga-ing at each other for so long.
Giving them two cookies each to fill their stomachs seemed perfectly normal.
Gugu Gaga received the five cookies, pocketing two for herself and paying the other three to Flower Gardener Guga.
"Gugu Gaga (Let's get to work.)"
Flower Gardener Guga walked to the center of the courtyard and took out a small red shovel.
The moment she placed it on the ground, a hole appeared in the rock-hard frozen earth.
She took out a seed, placed it inside, and covered it with soil.
"Gugu Gaga (Grow quickly), Gugu Gaga (Grow quickly), Gugu Gaga (Grow quickly!)."
Flower Gardener Guga began dancing around the seed while chanting Guga spells.
"Gugu Gaga, Gugu Gaga."
Qin Qi's Gugu Gaga also ran up to help, guga-ing along. She even beckoned Qin Qi over.
"So... I have to guga too?"
Qin Qi asked in confusion.
"Guga."
Guga and Flower Gardener Guga nodded, indicating that was right. Everyone had to guga.
Qin Qi stepped forward and held hands with the two little ones, hopping and skipping while going gugu gaga.
Amid the gugu gaga-ing, the seed began to grow rapidly. Before long, it had become a huge Sunflower.
The Sunflower radiated golden light, and in an instant, the soil thawed.
The surrounding cold was driven away as well, and the entire field became warm and comfortable.
"Guga (All right. Now you can farm here, and the plants will grow really well and quickly.)"
"Guga (I also have some pea seeds and Wall-nut seeds. They're for you.)"
"Guga (Ancestor, I'm leaving. Come visit sometime.)"
Flower Gardener Guga took her cookies and turned to head home.
"Gugu Gaga (Goodbye.)"
Gugu Gaga waved farewell to Flower Gardener Guga, who then disappeared.
"It's so warm. Is this thing a Sunflower?!"
Qin Qi looked at the Sunflower before him. It seemed alive and looked just like the Sunflowers from Plants vs. Zombies.
"By the way, who was that Guga just now? Your friend?"
Qin Qi looked at his Gugu Gaga and asked.
"Guga (She's my descendant. I'm the Guga Patriarch, the ancestor of all Gugas.)"
Gugu Gaga patted her chest, puffed it out proudly, and raised her head.
"That was a little complicated. I didn't understand, but forget it. It's good enough. Your Guga connections are pretty extensive."
Qin Qi had not learned Guga language very well. He could understand simpler things, but not anything complicated.
But that was fine. He was not worried about it; he could slowly learn later.
For now, he should plant the seeds Flower Gardener Guga had given them and see what grew.
Qin Qi planted the pea and Wall-nut seeds, then began circling them while going gugu gaga.
"Guga (Human, what are you doing? Without Flower Gardener Guga here, dancing is useless.)"
Gugu Gaga scratched her head in confusion. What was Qin Qi doing?
Rapid growth was Flower Gardener Guga's ability. They did not have that ability.
"Even though I still don't understand you, I get what you mean. I'm wasting my effort, right?"
Qin Qi covered his face with one hand. He felt so embarrassed. Luckily, no one else had seen him.
Three days passed, and the peas and Wall-nuts sprouted.
They were just a little unusual. The peas were Peashooters that could spit out peas like bullets.
The Wall-nuts could move freely and protect the courtyard. All in all, Qin Qi was now playing Plants vs. Zombies in the world of Douluo Continent.
"Gugu Gaga, your Guga network is so extensive. Can you help me find a Guga who can make me stronger?"
"I want to become stronger, become a Titled Douluo, then lie flat and coast through life!"
Qin Qi decided to work a little harder, become stronger, and then lie down in peace.
"Guga (All right, leave it to me.)"
Gugu Gaga looked at the cookies in her pocket, patted her chest again, and decided to help.
