Chapter 382 100 7-leaf clover
The surrounding environment changed, and Lu Youyou found herself in the mist.
Within a mere meter of visibility, a golden plaque gleamed faintly.
"This should be Jiang Sheng's General Store."
Lu Youyou wanted to get off the car, but then she suddenly remembered that contact with the fog would cause her to faint, and that she might mutate in a better or worse direction.
Just as she was about to take a horse chestnut from the public pool to dispel the fog, a gust of wind blew in, clearing away the fog outside the car.
At the shop entrance, a woman in a black dress with golden curly hair smiled leisurely at Lu You.
Her skin was very white, and her lips were as red as blood, giving her an air of mystery.
"You were the human introduced by the green snake?"
Lu Youyou nodded: "Excuse me, are you Jiang Sheng?"
"It's me. Come in, or the fog will gather again. Don't waste my plants."
Lu Youyou immediately shrunk the vehicle and followed Jiang Sheng into the general store.
It was supposed to be a general store, but the shelves were completely empty.
The room was empty except for the crackling sound of the baking pan burning in the center.
"Would you like some? I just grilled a steak."
Lu Youyou shook her head: "Thank you, but I won't eat it. The green snake said I can leave the red jade here with you and buy some breeding cages."
Jiang Sheng tilted his head: "Green Snake said you can buy some breeding cages from me, are you sure it's just some, not just one?"
Lu Youyou smiled awkwardly: "Maybe I misheard, but he did ask me to come here to buy breeding cages."
“I know that. First, put Hongyu in the insulated box over there, then put the snake cubs inside into your breeding cage, and then come over and talk to me about the deal.”
Jiang Sheng pointed to an enormous insulated box that almost took up an entire wall.
"Since you have breeding cages, why can't you just let Hongyu go in?"
Jiang Sheng rolled her eyes.
"You already have the heart of a withered vine, didn't that person tell you that some things can only be used by humans?"
Lu Youyou reached out and touched the pendant around her neck, murmuring, "I haven't even seen the boss of the dense forest dungeon, so what could it possibly say to me?"
Following Jiang Sheng's instructions, she placed the red snake in an insulated box and then put the smaller snakes inside into the breeding cage where the red snake had been.
Only after doing all this did I sit down opposite Jiang Sheng.
"I'd like to buy a high-end breeding cage. Name your price."
Jiang Sheng asked again, "Isn't it some? Do you want one or some? Humans are so strange."
Lu Youyou: ……
Can I buy some?
"Whatever you want. As long as I have it, I can sell it to you for 5 gold coins each."
"Then I'll take five."
A mere 25 gold coins? Take it!
"Wait."
Jiang Sheng took out his tablet, swiped through the supplies on it, then looked up, his eyes filled with embarrassment.
"Well, I only have one left. I sold it to another human before, and I forgot about it."
Lu Youyou: ……
Why ask her questions about whether it's one thing or another? Are you just playing with her?
"Then one will do. By the way, I see you have some horse chestnuts that can disperse fog. Could you sell me some?"
"Seven-leaf clover? Hmph, I'm not using seven-leaf clover, but ten-leaf clover that I cultivated myself, which can disperse the fog for ten minutes!"
Lu Youyou was even happier when she heard this.
"Can I buy some of the ten-leaf clovers you cultivate?"
Jiang Sheng shook her head: "No, this is my personal item, I don't sell it to humans."
You're not buying, right? Then can you give it to me for free?
Of course, Lu Youyou didn't dare say those words out loud.
She was afraid that Jiang Sheng would be angry, so she wouldn't even sell her that one breeding cage.
When Jiang Sheng took out the breeding cage, Lu Youyou immediately bound it to her watch and then put the unknown monster egg inside.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard Jiang Sheng muttering behind her.
"How can I make the steak taste better? I heard that adding rosemary as a garnish will make it smell nice, but the monster that grows rosemary has a grudge against me, she definitely won't give it to me."
Lu Youyou suddenly turned around: "I have rosemary."
She not only has it, she has a lot of it.
Originally, they were intended to be grown on a large scale in planting boxes to repel jungle insects.
As a result, she developed an insecticidal elixir, rendering rosemary useless.
If she hadn't heard Jiang Sheng's words, she would have forgotten that she still kept a bunch of rosemary plants.
"Really? You're not kidding me, are you? Show it to me!" Jiang Sheng was very excited.
Lu Youyou opened her watch and took out a sprig of rosemary.
The dark green, slightly curled leaves immediately caught Jiang Sheng's attention, and she reached out almost obsessively to take the rosemary.
Lu Youyou picked only one sprig of rosemary and put the rest into her backpack.
"Consider this my thanks for clearing away the fog for me. Goodbye."
"wait!"
Because of her anxiety, Jiang Sheng's voice sounded high-pitched.
“Give me that whole plant, and I can trade you a clover with roots. You can trim the clover's twigs every day to dispel the fog.”
Fish, hooked!
Lu Youyou pretended to be hesitant: "I thought about it and decided to forget it. I have a gang, and I only have one ten-leaf clover. I don't know who to give it to, so I might as well not use it at all."
"We can't let it go!"
Jiang Sheng shouted, "How many people are in your gang? I have a lot of ten-leaf clover here, and I can even sell you ten-leaf clover seeds. Please, I'm begging you, give me some rosemary too! That damned monster who manages the rosemary won't sell it to me, sob sob~"
Jiang Sheng was faking her crying because monsters don't have tears, so they can only imitate crying sounds.
Lu Youyou held back for a long time, clenching her back teeth tightly to prevent herself from laughing.
"Alright, how many ten-leaf clovers do you want?"
"I want a lot! Ideally, enough for me to eat for a lifetime... You don't have enough, do you?"
Unlike Jiang Sheng at the beginning, Lu Youyou didn't have a single breeding cage and asked her for more.
She turned the watch screen directly to Jiang Sheng and said, "This whole area is full of rosemary. This shows the number, not including the seeds in the soil, a total of 78 plants."
Jiang Sheng excitedly slammed his hand on the table: "I want them all! I'll give you 100 clover plants, and you give me the rosemary along with the seeds and plants."
Jiang Sheng's request was exactly what Lu Youyou wanted; she didn't need rosemary, so she suggested clover instead.
"Okay."
After the transaction was completed, Lu Youyou's crops lost rosemary but gained 100 clover plants.
She planted clover in the rosemary area and watched as the sign that stood in the ground disappeared from the word "rosemary" and was replaced by "clover".
As soon as it was planted, a scissors icon appeared on the side of the screen.
Trim any unwanted branches or twigs from the clover.
She clicked on the icon, and a virtual pair of scissors slid through the clover.
Congratulations on successfully pruning the unwanted branches of your clover.
[Ten-Leaf Clover *10: After use, it can disperse the mist, lasting for 10 minutes.]
Suddenly, she realized something and asked Jiang Sheng, who was frying steak.
What would happen if I didn't prune the clover twigs?
Jiang Sheng put down the clips in her hand and answered Lu Youyou's question seriously.
"The clover will grow branches and leaves like crazy. The leaves will fall to the ground, take root and sprout, and become new plants that cannot be pruned afterward."
"However, clover plants that are not grown from seeds grow offshoots more slowly, so you will get fewer offshoots when you prune them."
Lu Youyou nodded, indicating that she understood.
She decided to stop pruning the clover twigs too often, since the plants grown from 100 seeds wouldn't change anyway, and the more new plants the better.
Even if the new plant's branches grow slowly and in large numbers, you can still get a lot by pruning it once.
She said goodbye to Jiang Sheng, expanded the RV, and went inside.
Then select the treasure chest closest to you and let the navigation drive you there automatically.
