Natural Disasters Strikes: I stockpiled like crazy! novel Chapter 143

She dearly remembered these mushrooms.

After the light dimmed from them, she would gather the mushrooms and carefully extract the spores. Their caps and undersides were edible and could be cooked in the game.

But she had never tasted them herself.

Her chance for the weekly resource dungeon had already passed. She would have to wait until next week.

As she stared deeply at the mushrooms, her thoughts drifted to the virtual farm.

Instead of waiting for the dungeon to reopen, could she transplant them?

She tried it once, but it failed.

[Operation Failed. Not a suitable habitat.]

Nanzhi glanced at the options. There were no winter habitats available.

Her eyes skimmed over the square plots of land and stopped at the Winter Plum Blossom.

An idea struck her.

Would it work?

She tried transplanting one.

The prompt changed, but it still failed.

[Cannot be replanted.]

The system then advised:

[Not all harvested Glowing Wintergreen Mushrooms can be replanted. Only the larger varieties can be regrown.]

Among all the mushrooms in her inventory, only one fit the system’s criteria.

It was the last mushroom she had collected.

"System," she asked, "If I plant this mushroom on the Winter Plum Blossom tree, will the plum blossom tree be negatively affected?"

[No. Both plants retain their original properties unless their attributes are conflicting.]

Based on the system’s response, replanting into an occupied slot seemed possible. Could she also plant ordinary crops alongside mutated ones?

For example, could she grow regular fruits or herbs with the mutated Salacca tree? Or ordinary hydrophytes alongside the Bingdi lotus? Or perhaps another regular mushroom next to the Winter Plum Blossom tree?

What if the ordinary crops mutated too and turned into jade and spar-generating crops?

!!!

A smile spread across Nanzhi’s face.

[Stop dreaming.]

Nanzhi raised an eyebrow. How do you know what I was thinking?

[Your current expression is similar to when you are rewarded with EXP. It looked like the merchants in the black market.]

Nanzhi gave the system a suspicious glance. Comments like this, and your flexible policy, makes me wonder if you’re another human or just an entity.

[…]

The system fell silent, only increasing Nanzhi’s suspicions.

In any case, she carefully picked up the mushroom. It felt delicate in her hand.

Item Appraise.

[1-star Glowing Wintergreen Mushroom (Adult)]

Nanzhi tried replanting it again.

[Detecting: Plants are compatible.]

[Would you like to plant it?]

She was only testing it, and dared not plant it just yet without using seeding.

From afternoon until dinnertime, she stayed in her room, carefully removing the mushroom spores into a large basket, planning to craft the serums after the reset.

Once she had gathered enough mushrooms for cooking, she stuffed them into her inventory and left the room.

To her surprise, Yu Baoyin was already cooking dinner. On the table were two bowls of vermicelli noodles, a pot of rice, and two plates of fried beef jerky and fried eggs.

"Sister Nan!" Yu Baoyin greeted her cheerfully. "I saw some noodles and eggs in the pantry and made dinner! I’m trying to learn to cook. I can’t keep having you cook for me all the time. I hope you’ll try it."
