Chapter 116: Nature’s Croaking Maiden

Seeing Li Chunhua so hardworking in making stakes, Siri also wanted to start farming, but before that, he asked his master some advice regarding the information about the crops of their world, and the foodie, who only knew about eating, blinked at the elf for a few seconds before posting in the global chat. "Wait, Brother Siri. I’ll see what I can do."

[Little Baozi]: I’m searching for a simple yet detailed guide on cultivating cabbage, tomato, bell pepper, rice, corn, carrot, orange, and cucumber seeds. Send me a message.

She instantly received countless messages about how to farm the crops she had mentioned and went to skim through them one by one. Most of them were discussing the prices first, while some gave incomplete information.

On the other hand, she also received some odd messages.

[#8950]: I have a demo video of a monkey ritual dancing guide on planting. The price depends on whether you want it in salsa or tango.

Li Chunhua: "..." Never mind. She’ll pretend she didn’t see it.

[Dung Picker]: I have a personal concocted fertilizer that contains dung I gathered from different monsters, and it’s proved to be highly effective and can produce plant growth enzymes, which provide an additional 10–20% boost.

Li Chunhua: (*Φ皿Φ*) Dare to bring back some sh*tty memories!

[You’ve blacklisted Player ’Dung Picker’]

There was even someone who wanted to establish a pyramiding scheme.

[A Serious Businessman]: Brother Baozi, I have a business proposal. I have a magical farm and a magical native, and if you invest your crops in my business, I can guarantee you one hundred percent ROI (return on investment) on the next day.

Li Chunhua: (￣_,￣ ) Do you take me for a three-year-old?

[You’ve blacklisted Player ’A Serious Businessman’]

Li Chunhua persevered in reading the message for the future of her rich menu, and it paid off. She finally found a serious and legit enough guide.

[Green Thumb]: Carrots prefer well-drained, deeply worked soil. Ideally, to a depth of 18 inches for longer varieties, though a shallower depth may suffice for shorter varieties. Row spacing should allow for at least 12 inches between rows; 18 inches is ideal.

[Green Thumb]: Carrot seed spacing should be 3/4 to 1 foot apart, or roughly 30 seeds per foot. Carrot tops should be planted at a depth of 1/4 to 1/2 inch. The soil should be kept consistently moist until the seeds germinate, which can take one to three weeks. As the tops start to grow more leaves, the soil should be kept sufficiently moist, but less frequently and in less volume than during the earlier growth stages.

"Brother Siri." Li Chunhua’s eyes brightened, and she hurriedly called the elf. "I have some good news for you."

Siri was interested and read the guide with concentration. After digesting the information, he lifted the corner of his lips and mumbled, "Master, so that’s how you grow crops? We, the elves, adopt a different method."

Li Chunhua was very curious and asked. "What sort of method?"

"We sing and dance," Siri proudly replied.

Li Chunhua suddenly remembered the odd message she received and stared at the elf blankly.

There’s such a thing?

The next moment, Li Chunhua was gaping at the small sprout on the 2x2 field born from the elf’s singing and graceful dancing.

She clapped unconsciously. "Amazing."

"It seems that our method also works on your crops. I’ll use both methods and see which one of them is better." Siri wiped the sweat on his forehead before smiling, contented at the results.

Li Chunhua suddenly thought of the chumpet seed in her inventory. "Brother Siri, teach me!"

Master wants to learn?

Siri readily agreed and instructed her to infuse her voice with mana and direct the sound waves to the target seed.

He demonstrated it by planting another seed using the spacing allowance ’Green Thumb’ had stated before singing again. His voice was very soothing, like a harp played to perfection. Li Chunhua was mesmerized.

There was a tiny tremor in the soil, and a tiny 2-inch shoot emerged.

Siri planted another seed before urging his master.

Li Chunhua followed what the elf said. She took a deep breath, gathered her qi essence from her dantian to her throat, and in the next moment, a voice beating the croaking frogs of the First Global Chat War resounded in Siri’s ears.

It was so off-key that even the dead would wake up from their graves just to splash her with buckets of water.

"Twinkle, twinkle, little stars..." Li Chunhua started singing.

[-120]

A red screen floated above his head.

Siri could feel his ears stinging, and something warm trickled down. Siri lifted his hand to check what it was, and to his horror, it was actually his blood.

Siri: (;ↀ⌓ↀ) Huh? Blood?

But the strangest thing was that the soil on the field trembled like there was a tiny earthquake before something emerged.

Three tiny shoots grow tall and bear healthy green leaves, and these leaves swayed along with Li Chunhua’s immaculately off-key voice, as if they were alive and jamming with her like little fans.

[Congratulations! You have perfectly mutated the elf’s natural blessings with your effortlessly beautiful voice. You’ve gained a new skill—Nature’s Croaking Maiden.

Li Chunhua was stunned, and she suddenly thought of an idea.

"Brother Siri! What if we grow the chumpet seed through this?" Li Chunhua stopped singing after looking at the screen. She went to pull out the carrot to check on the quality of her mature crop.

Siri spun his neck towards her master, and the image of him bleeding to death appeared in his head, and the images grew more gory when he gazed at the orange crop in his master’s hand.

[Mutated Carrot: Grade Second-Class

-Extremely toxic and can replace Gerwin Hemlock in Poison Formulas.]

Li Chunhua wasn’t aware of the additional description and only saw the first line. She was very happy that her ugly voice could mutate plants.

"Master, it’s poisonous." But Siri didn’t let her be happy for too long.

"There’s no way..." Li Chunhua broke the carrot into two, and its dense black flesh entered her sight. A tiny drop of black substance seeped from the black flesh and fell to the ground with a sizzling noise as if it was acid.

(°ー°〃)

Li Chunhua stared at it for a few seconds before before bestowing the mutated poisonous carrot to the elf and returning to the screen and purchased the other crops’ farming guides.

In this life, she should forget singing. She was only meant to eat.
