Chapter 248: Chapter 248 The Responsibilities are Heavy and the Road is Long

Luo Qiao meditated for over two hours, absorbing the essence of the surrounding grass and trees to enhance her Special Ability. When she opened her eyes, she saw that the herbs centered around her had benefited from her Special Ability, looking even lusher than before.

Feeling the Special Ability inside her body, she sensed improvement, but she was still far from leveling up. It looked like she would have to make frequent trips to the deep mountains, or who knows how long it would take to upgrade.

It seems that advancing her Special Ability is a long and arduous task!

Checking the time, it was already past three o’clock; she couldn’t go any deeper into the forest, so she chose another direction to head back. Along the way, she gathered any high-aged or space-lacking medicinal herbs into her Spatial Warehouse, planning to plant them in her medicinal field that evening.

She also collected many types of mushroom spores; the ones she had stored before had already spread across an area. With the blessing of a small stream, Luo Qiao had harvested many and stored them in the Spatial Warehouse.

When winter came, she could find the right opportunity to make a bit of money. No matter how small a mosquito is, it’s still flesh, haha!

Luo Qiao collected many wild vegetables that were difficult to find down the mountain into her space as well, planning to grow a patch of them for whenever she wanted to eat them. It would not be convenient to eat these wild vegetables if she were to live in the city in the future.

Unexpectedly, she came across a small valley on this path. It was like a meadow with the sound of flowing water, not very large. Upon a closer look, to her surprise, there were quite a few small animals inside.

Luo Qiao glanced at the sun and felt there was still time. She put her basket into her space, took out a dagger, and slowly walked inside. Perhaps because people rarely came here, the little animals weren’t as alert as those in the woods.

Using her space to hide, Luo Qiao spent over an hour collecting some rabbits, wild chickens, wild ducks, wild goats, roe deer, and sika deer into her space, including a few bucks in addition to the sika deer.

Walking alongside the water, she occasionally spotted clusters of wild chicken and duck eggs in the grass. Luo Qiao, scratching her head after watching them for a long time, decided not to pick them up, as she couldn’t tell whether the eggs had been incubated or not.

As she was about to leave, there was a loud commotion. Following the noise, she saw a group of wild boars entering from the mouth of the valley. Their ruckus frightened the small animals, causing them to scatter in all directions.

Luo Qiao quickly moved to their inevitable path and hid herself. Last time, she had collected only small wild boars in her spatial storage. This time, encountering them was a chance she couldn’t miss; they would be her source of meat in the future.

At a distance of about two meters, she collected more than a dozen wild boars into her space, tossing them all to the mountain inside the space, now completely satisfied.

Seizing the moment when the group of pigs ran to drink water, she hurriedly made her escape. Although she had her Spatial Warehouse and martial prowess, she didn’t dare underestimate these wild boars. If they charged at her, it could take a long time to get down the mountain, especially as the sun was already setting in the west.

On her way back down the valley, she came across persimmon trees, chestnut trees, and walnut trees, and she collected a few of each species into her space for the sake of convenience in the future.

She also found wild grapes near the base of the mountain. After tasting one and finding it sweet and sour, she collected two small plants into her space. Since she was already on the periphery, Luo Qiao thought for sure that villagers who often went into the mountains knew of this place, so she decided to leave it for them.

It was almost dark by the time Luo Qiao came down from the mountain, bringing with her a wild rabbit and a wild chicken she had prepared in advance.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she came down, she saw Lu Yichen waiting on the path that led back to the village.

Luo Qiao was a bit startled, "Brother Lu, what are you doing here?"

Lu Yichen took Luo Qiao’s backpack, "In the future, try to go up the mountain in the morning when there’s more time. It gets dark early in the afternoon inside the forest, which is not safe."

Luo Qiao knew he was concerned about her and didn’t argue, feeling a warm and somewhat embarrassed gratitude inside, she said, "I know."

Back home, Luo Qiao took out the mushrooms from her backpack and cleaned some of them, planning to stir-fry them with minced meat that evening, to make it convenient for Lu Yi and Stone to eat.

Suddenly, Luo Qiao thought to herself, was she becoming too accustomed to taking on too much? But then, considering Stone, she realized the sauce still needed to be made.
