The information from Simo caught Yuan Tiantian off guard. Then, under Yuan Tiantian's insistent questioning, Simo finally explained things about the popularity value and the plane passage.
The popularity value refers to the popularity of Sweetie's Food Store in the current world. The plane passage will officially open when the popularity value reaches 500. However, not all planes only require 500 popularity values. The popularity value is linked to the system in two aspects. One is the popularity - value exchange mall, and the other is the plane passage. After different plane visitors arrive, when the plane passage is opened again, different increments of popularity value are needed.
To open the plane passage to the Gexi Forest, the increment of popularity value only needs to reach 500. But 500 is not enough for the strange - beast world of Baiying. Simo didn't say exactly how much it was. Anyway, it would give a prompt when the time came.
Although there was a popularity - value exchange mall, Yuan Tiantian still felt sad instead of happy because Shy was going to leave.
"What if one doesn't leave when the passage opens?"
The answer she got made Yuan Tiantian a bit sad. If one deliberately didn't leave, even if the increment of popularity value was reached later, the opening of the passage would be postponed five times before it opened again. If one still didn't leave after that, they would no longer be able to leave this world and would gradually disappear due to the incompatibility of the worlds.
Of course, if one left normally, there was a possibility of coming back later, depending on chance.
After hearing this, Yuan Tiantian quickly gave up the idea of forcing Shy to stay.
After that, Yuan Tiantian took a look at the popularity - value exchange mall. There were actually seeds in it. Currently, there was only a special lemon seed, which cost 400 popularity values!
It was really expensive. Yuan Tiantian closed the interface and then went upstairs to tell Shy it was time to go home. She didn't expect that just when she got halfway up the stairs, she saw Shy standing at the stairway with tears in his eyes.
When Yuan Tiantian walked up, Shy directly hugged her thigh and looked up at her with tears in his eyes.
"Shy doesn't want to go..."
He already knew. Yes, every plane visitor who could leave would have a perception of this. After Shy felt it, he was about to cry. Yuan Tiantian comforted him. Although she wanted to keep him, it wasn't a good thing for Shy.
"Will there really be a chance to come again in the future?"
After getting a positive answer from Yuan Tiantian, Shy finally stopped crying. Then Shy looked at Yuan Tiantian's belly and said cutely, looking up.
"Will the little brother be born when I come next time?"
Little brother? Yuan Tiantian was stunned for a moment. Then she thought of the baby she was carrying and pinched Shy's little face amusingly.
"Maybe it will be a little sister. But if you call him little brother, then you have to call me auntie."
Shy was confused.
"Auntie?"
"Yes, auntie, little auntie. You also have a big auntie!"
The little guy was even more confused, with a question mark all over his head. Yuan Tiantian couldn't help laughing. Seeing that the other was happy, Shy also laughed.
"Little auntie!"
"Little auntie! It's not a little sister, it's a little brother!"
After saying that, he pointed at Yuan Tiantian's belly with his little finger very seriously. Yuan Tiantian was stunned. Could it really be a boy? Could Shy tell the gender?
"Plants have a very strong perception of new life."
Simo suddenly popped up with a sentence. Yuan Tiantian looked at Shy and instantly felt like the ending had been spoiled. She had been thinking of waiting until the last moment to "unveil the result", but now there was no such surprise. She shook her head amusingly.
During this afternoon nap, Shy didn't go back to the flower pot but obediently slept beside Yuan Tiantian.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the three of them got up and started preparing dinner. Yuan Tiantian was reluctant to part with Shy, so she baked a lot of cookies for him. She had asked Simo, and the food she made could be taken away, but the bought food couldn't. There weren't many customers in the evening. Only four tables of guests came in total. After receiving the last table of guests, just after nine o'clock, Yuan Tiantian decided to close the store early today.
After cleaning up, Yuan Tiantian took Shy upstairs, with Baiying following behind.
Shy was holding a big pile of food and looking at Yuan Tiantian pitifully. The little guy wanted to stay again. Yuan Tiantian persuaded him for a long time and finally managed to calm him down.
"Shy, go back quickly. Your little friends in the Gexi Forest must be waiting for you!"
"Wait until you come next time to play with the little brother!"
Actually, Yuan Tiantian didn't know if Shy would come again, but she always had hope in her heart.
Shy tried hard to hold back his tears, nodded, and then walked to the place on the balcony where he had appeared before. Then Shy disappeared.
Yuan Tiantian felt a bit lost. He was really gone.
In a bad mood, Yuan Tiantian didn't notice that Baiying was trying at the place where Shy left. Finding that there was no reaction at all, he wondered in his heart why the little guy could leave but he couldn't?
After returning to the room, Yuan Tiantian lay on the bed, and tears welled up uncontrollably.
Just then, Simo came with its characteristic electronic voice.
"Congratulations to the host for successfully receiving the diner from the Gexi Forest. You will receive a special reward from the Gexi Forest, the purification seed. It has been sent to the host's system warehouse. Please check it."
Have to say, Simo was really good at spoiling the mood. She was crying "heartily", and then there came a reward. Yuan Tiantian didn't have the heart to continue being sad. She opened the system warehouse and saw a seed about the size of a walnut. After checking it specifically, Yuan Tiantian was almost shocked to the ground.
Purification Seed: Bury this seed in the ground. Centered on the purification seed, it can purify 10 mu of land. The plants planted on the purified land will have their various nutrients tripled, and the plant growth cycle will be halved.
Yuan Tiantian: "!!"
Tripled nutrients?! This was really incredible!
"Simo, you're not lying to me, are you?"
Yuan Tiantian still couldn't quite believe it. The gift from the Gexi Forest was really too good!
"Host, please rest assured. The system will never have any fakes."
After confirming the authenticity, Yuan Tiantian had a bigger idea in her mind. Could she contract a mountain? With a purification range of 10 mu, she could plant all kinds of fruits and vegetables on the contracted mountain. Then these fruits and vegetables could be directly supplied to Sweetie's Food Store, and she wouldn't have to worry about the quality of the vegetables anymore.
The more Yuan Tiantian thought about it, the more excited she became.
Then, she came to the desk, took out a pen and paper, and started to make a plan.
First, try to plant some vegetables, and then fruits. Yes, there was a lemon seed that could be exchanged in the popularity - value mall. It could definitely come in handy. After the orchard and vegetable garden grew up, she could also raise some animals in it. Then even the meat could be supplied to Sweetie's Food Store.
This was really perfect!
However, the immediate problem was where to find a mountain to contract. And after finding the mountain, who would plant the crops? She definitely couldn't do it. One reason was that she didn't have the time, and the other was that she didn't understand these things. As for Baiying, he didn't understand planting either, so he definitely couldn't do it. She had to find a reliable planting worker to help her.
However, the top - priority thing for Yuan Tiantian now was to find a mountain that could be contracted!
Where could she find one?!
