Chapter 198 Interstellar Wilderness Star Farmer 9
"As expected, you are very generous."
Ji Xiaosong happily counted her balance, "With so much money, would you call me a little rich woman?"
"Hmm, that counts. How do you eat this stick?"
"This is sugarcane, you need to peel it."
Ji Xiaosong took out a sugarcane peeling knife.
"Look, like this, just peel off the skin, or peel it off with your teeth."
Dai Lixing glanced at it, used a little mental power, and the entire sugarcane stalk was completely peeled off.
"This...this...this...mental power can be used like this?"
"Of course, there are many uses for mental energy. I will teach you slowly in the future, and you can also explore it on your own after you learn how to cultivate it."
Dai Lixing chewed and chewed, feeling that apart from the juice, the rest was inedible.
Do you want to spit out the crumbs?
"of course."
Ji Xiaosong dug a hole in the ground. "You can vomit here. It can even be used as fertilizer for the soil."
Dai Lixing spat out some dregs and continued, "Oh, by the way, I also bought the planet Waxing for you, and it's already registered in your name. You already owned some land since you started clearing the wasteland, but it might take many years to clear the entire planet, so I just bought it for you."
"Wow, boss! Please accept my bow!"
Ji Xiaosong clasped her hands together and bowed exaggeratedly, startling Dai Lixing.
"Well... there's no need to exaggerate like that. The food you gave me was very valuable. I had some toxins in my body, and now at least one-tenth of them have been cleared out. Besides, with your current balance, you could easily buy ten more Vats."
"Ten Tier Stars?!"
Ji Xiaosong almost screamed, "Then I really am a little rich girl!"
She laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight, and plopped down on the edge of the field, scattering sugarcane residue all over the ground.
She tilted her head back and swung her leg at Dai Lixing, sunlight dancing on her hair like scattered gold dust.
"Ten Tiles! Ten!"
She suddenly jumped up and spun around in place, her floral skirt billowing out like a small umbrella.
"If I can buy more planets in the future, I'll plant strawberries all over each one! I'll raise glowing rabbits! I'll build crystal houses!"
When she was dizzy from spinning around, she staggered and grabbed Dai Lixing's sleeve, her fingertips still smeared with the sweet taste of sugarcane juice.
Dai Lixing was pulled forward slightly by her and suddenly noticed that her eyelashes cast small fan-like shadows under her eyes.
His Adam's apple bobbed twice, and as if possessed, he reached out to remove the blades of grass stuck to her hair.
When he touched her ear, she suddenly quieted down, her big eyes rolling around as she looked at him.
"Your ears are red."
Ji Xiaosong suddenly tiptoed closer, her warm breath brushing against his chin.
Dai Lixing took a half step back and bumped into the sugarcane pile, the brittle stalks falling down with a crackling sound.
"...It's because the sunlight is too strong."
He turned around abruptly, only to be hugged around the waist by Ji Xiaosong from behind.
The girl's soft hair brushed against the back of his neck, carrying a scent of honey and grass mixed together.
"Thank you."
Her muffled voice came through her clothes, "Consider this my way of thanking my friend."
As Dai Lixing gazed at the distant barren mountains, he suddenly felt that even the impoverished land seemed to have gained color.
He reached out and grasped the restless hand around her waist, his fingertips tracing the calluses on her palm.
"Growing strawberries is too much trouble. I'll send you a few robots later."
Dai Lixing's fingers tightened suddenly, then loosened as if he had been electrocuted.
He stared at his palm, which was covered in grass, his Adam's apple bobbing twice. Suddenly, he turned around and strode out of the field, his black boots crushing a few wild daisies.
"Hey!"
Ji Xiaosong took a couple of steps and then stopped, hands on her hips, laughing and showing her dimples. "You were so domineering when you bought the planet, but now you're like a cat whose tail has been stepped on?"
The man's back stiffened, and without turning around, he tossed out a sentence: "Suddenly remembered that the spaceship needs maintenance."
Before he finished speaking, pale golden ripples appeared in the air, and he vanished from the spot.
Ji Xiaosong squatted down and picked up the space button he had left behind. She ran her fingertips over the cold metal casing a couple of times and suddenly burst out laughing.
She lay back on the freshly turned earth, gazing at the bright blue sky, her hair framing the scent of fresh soil.
"Why are you pretending to be an iceberg?"
She waved the spatial button in the air, "Who was it that peeked at my apron strap during the barbecue at noon?"
A mechanical hum could be heard in the distance as three agricultural robots descended from the clouds.
As Ji Xiaosong hummed a song, she hung the spatial button on her belt. Suddenly, she noticed a half-eaten sugarcane in a pile of sugarcane by the edge of the field. Dai Lixing's teeth marks from biting it were still visible on the sweet flesh.
After the three robots landed next to Ji Xiaosong, she squatted on the edge of the field and poked the silver-gray robot shell in front of her with her finger.
Suddenly, ripples appeared on the metal surface, revealing a holographic projection interface, which startled her so much that she sat down in the mud.
"WTF?"
She frantically tried to wipe the mud splattered on her skirt, only to see a mechanical arm pop out from the robot's chest, with a nozzle at the end spraying out cleaning agent with a "whoosh," instantly making the skirt even shinier than when she first bought it.
"Great, great! It even has a drying function, it's better than my washing machine."
She got up and circled around the robot, discovering that it had a retractable mechanical arm on its back that could be used as both a hoe and a showerhead.
When I tried calling out "water," the robot immediately rose into the air and sprayed a fine mist of water from its abdomen, causing the sugarcane leaves to stand straight wherever it passed.
"Xiaohong!"
She casually gave the weed-cutting robot a name: "Pull all the weeds over there!"
The robot suddenly disintegrated into hundreds of drones the size of ping-pong balls, which buzzed into the sugarcane field.
Ji Xiaosong peeked from the edge of the field and discovered that each drone used lasers to precisely cut the grass roots without damaging even half a sugarcane leaf.
"That's incredibly efficient!"
She counted on her fingers, "It takes an average person three hours to pull weeds, but now it only takes three seconds?"
As they were talking, the farming robot had already plowed the entire hilltop and suddenly transformed into a hovering transport vehicle, automatically sorting and piling the turned-up stones into field ridges.
As they played until dark, Ji Xiaosong suddenly had a brilliant idea: to have the robot use its searchlights to spell out a heart shape.
As a result, the three robots turned the entire night sky of the planet Vay into pink.
As she was munching on the sugarcane that the robot had peeled, she suddenly noticed that the weeding robot was playing upbeat music.
"Who told you to put it there!" Ji Xiaosong choked with laughter.
"Master, working while having fun can make things easier for you."
"This music isn't nice. You should just quietly do your own thing."
Ji Xiaosong looked at the courtyard that had been cleaned up and went into the house with a smile.
In the evening, after Dai Lixing and Ji Xiaosong finished their dinner, they began the instruction on mental power cultivation.
“First-level mental power cultivation is very easy, don’t worry, I will teach you.”
Dai Lixing brought over two hover chairs, his fingertips drawing pale golden data streams in the void.
A holographic projection unfolds between the two people, displaying a three-dimensional model of neural synapses.
"The essence of mental power is the resonant frequency of neurons."
He pulled up a brain scan image, "Like this..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ji Xiaosong suddenly reached out and poked his forehead.
