Chapter 248 Interstellar Female Supporting Character (31) - Cabbage Sprouts and Obtains Grass
Monet was still asleep when Xiao Ba woke her up with a delighted voice: "Xian'er, come and see! The cabbages you planted have all sprouted!"
"If it's sprouting, it's sprouting. I haven't had enough sleep yet, so don't bother me!" Monet turned over and continued to sleep. Digging sand and planting vegetables had exhausted her.
"Get up, get up!" Xiao Ba didn't want her to sleep, so he pulled her hand and dragged her out of bed.
"Alright, alright, get up!" Monet stretched and yawned.
Wearing slippers, I opened the door and saw rows of tender shoots sprouting from the small vegetable patch in front of the door, exuding a vibrant life force amidst the swirling yellow sand.
After all this time, there isn't a single grain of sand in the vegetable garden, and the soil moisture hasn't been affected. This check-in system is pretty good.
"It's not bad. I believe this batch of vegetables will be ready to harvest soon!" Monet walked around the vegetable garden and felt that life had a little fun. If this desert planet could be turned into a green home, would it be like a certain Yaquan?
The idea was like a thorn, piercing her mind.
"Xiao Ba, what are we going to do today?"
After breakfast, Monet sat bored by the door, watching the seedlings sway in the wind. She even counted all the leaves of the seedlings in the garden.
"How about we take a stroll in the desert first?" Xiao Ba followed her example and sat down by the door.
"No way! I already went there last time, and my legs almost gave out from all that walking. Why would I go again?"
"Then what do you want to do?"
"Xiao Ba, is the StarNet connected?"
"Not yet, but soon, I've already found some clues."
"Sigh, when will this kind of life ever end!"
Monet stood up, dusted herself off, changed into a pair of high-top rubber boots, and decided to take a walk in the swirling yellow sand. After all, staying at home all the time and not exercising would make her dull.
Xiao Ba followed her example and conjured a pair of high-top rubber shoes for himself. The two of them walked hand in hand into the yellow sand.
From a distance, they looked like tiny specks of cosmic dust.
Upon reaching the sand dune, Monet took out a large basin from her spatial storage, sat down inside, and Xiao Ba gave her a push from behind.
The large basin slid down from the top like an arrow released from a bow; the feeling was incredibly exciting.
When Monet climbed up the sand dune, Xiao Ba took over the seat.
As a system, Xiao Ba had never played such a game before. It was his first time playing, and he felt it was pretty good. He even suggested to Monet Fairy that they should play it more often in the future.
The two got tired of playing and came down from the sand pile, intending to rest in the house.
[Ding-dong, ancient grassland detected. Do you wish to check in?]
The check-in system then issued a notification sound.
Monet couldn't believe such a treasure existed in the desert. Without hesitation, she answered, "Sign, sign!" [Signed in. Obtained a piece of ancient grassland. This grassland is impervious to high temperatures and sandstorms. Extract it?]
The system voice sounded again.
"Not for now!" Let's wait until we get back to the cabin.
She wanted to center the house around it and then allocate more land around it to build it the way she wanted.
Monet's Fairy Grass Test: This sign-in system will bring even more great things in the future.
The two ran quickly toward the cabin; what could be more delightful than a reward?
Back in the cabin, Monet didn't even have time to take off her shoes before standing at the door, turning on her communicator.
Say to the check-in system: "Check-in system, extract the grassland!"
[Extracting data, please do not exit the system]
A patch of grass suddenly appeared, stretching close to the vegetable garden. The water droplets on the grass were clearly visible to the naked eye, as if it had just been watered.
A path has been automatically created between the lawn and the vegetable garden; that's so thoughtful.
Monet didn't care about her clothes and plopped down on the grass. It was so soft; she didn't know how long it had been since she had sat on real grass.
You could put a deck chair here, add a parasol, and leisurely enjoy tea, read a book, watch the sunrise, and watch the sunset...
Many images flashed through her mind. If only Cherno were here, she could share this wonderful moment with him.
At this moment, Monet felt a pang of sadness, thinking of him frantically, helpless…
The morning passed just like that. They had a quick bite of instant noodles for lunch, and in the afternoon they continued to look around the sand for something to play with.
The sand was already slippery from sledding, and as we walked, a rock suddenly appeared in front of us.
This is so strange. They had already looked around the area before and didn't see any stones. Could it be that the sandstorm receded and revealed them?
Monet looked at the stone up close; it resembled a human figure, though the features were somewhat blurry.
She touched it with her hand, not knowing where she touched, when suddenly the ground shook violently, the sand parted in the middle, and a passage appeared in front of her.
The wind blew the yellow sand so hard that visibility was almost zero. Monet was glad that she always carried a protective shield, otherwise she couldn't guarantee that the sand would still be clean.
As the sand and ash settled, the passage stretched to the horizon, shrouded in darkness below, like a colossal beast watching over us.
After waiting for a long time, nothing came out.
Monet descended the stairs step by step. Apart from the sound of the wind overhead and the falling sand, she could only hear her own breathing.
Hachiko stayed by her side, but in the form of flying. Hachiko also took on the task of providing light.
As they descended, Xiao Ba took out a string of lights, and the entire view below gradually came into view.
It should be an underground safe house, built entirely of stone, with stone tables, stone benches, and stone beds, but there are no traces of human habitation inside.
There were still faint traces of blood on the wall, but they had dried and turned black over time.
On the other corner of the wall, there was a message written in Common StarCraft, which meant:
The person who wrote this was Robert. He lived 500 years ago. During an attack by a wormhole swarm, he chased after them and ended up here. He lost his way and fell onto this planet.
In order to survive, he dug this underground safe house.
Back then, it rained here, and a kind of grass called "falling loquat grass" would grow when it rained. He made a living by collecting rainwater and falling loquat grass.
On one occasion, he ventured out of the safe house and was discovered by a swarm of sand-spraying worms. After a fierce battle, he escaped back to the safe house, but eventually died from excessive blood loss.
This Robert is really unfortunate. Fortunately, there are no sand worms or wormholes here now, which should be the result of the passage of time.
Monet still felt it was best not to touch anything here, and to leave Robert's resting place as it was.
As she was about to return to the ground, the notification sounded again: [Ding-dong, safe stone house detected. Would you like to check in?]
