When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1267 Farm Owner 20
Chen Xiaojun grinned broadly and said, "I knew Sister Wei would take the best care of me."

Li Yong picked up a piece of rabbit meat and gave it to him: "Xiao Lin is several years younger than you, and you're already calling her 'sister'?"

“That’s not important,” Chen Xiaojun said, disregarding age. “Ability is the most important thing.”

Zhang Xiang joked, "When it comes to sucking up to powerful figures, Junzi is number one."

Everyone burst into laughter, and Tan You also twitched the corners of her mouth, feeling that this peaceful, secluded farming life was indeed quite comfortable. Although it was in a wasteland world where everything was in ruins and pollution was rampant, there was still some hope.

After lunch, Minister Huang and the others left with the strawberries. Jin Xi, upon returning, assembled a team to transplant chestnut trees, which he had discovered by chance.

Later, every harvest season, he would go to "collect" the goods. As for how to collect them, that depended on each person's skills.

As Jin Xi's confidant, Yan Liang naturally had to go out with him. When the group of ten arrived at the area where the chestnut tree was located, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. A lush green chestnut tree was growing so brazenly in the valley.

Seemingly sensing Jin Xi's arrival, before he could even get close, dozens of spiky chestnut balls flew towards the team. Jin Xi nimbly tilted his head, dodging the attack.

The other team members followed suit; none of them were cowards who went on missions with Jin Xi.

The four earth-element warriors didn't engage the chestnut tree in a direct confrontation. While others were fighting the chestnut tree, they used their special abilities. Their earth-yellow power penetrated the ground and quickly took control of the land within a ten-meter radius of the chestnut tree.

With the four of them working together, they slightly raised their hands and uprooted the chestnut tree. The chestnut tree immediately went berserk, hurling countless chestnut balls at Jin Xi and the others.

Jin Xi was experiencing a bittersweet feeling. While dodging the attacks from the chestnut trees, he also occasionally picked up the chestnut pods on the ground. He was lucky to get chestnut pods this time; next time, he wouldn't be able to get them for free, he'd have to trade them with someone.

High-end ingredients, especially those with zero pollution, are becoming increasingly rare.

After all the chestnut pods on the tree were smashed, the chestnut tree was helpless and could only let itself be "moved." What else could it do? Only level four or higher mutated plants can roam freely, but it was only level three, so it could only stand still and attack.

The metal-element warrior retracted the barrier and rubbed his chest, saying, "This little thing has quite a temper. Look what it's done to me; it's left many dents in the metal barrier."

Jin Xi patted his shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work."

The metal-type warrior smiled and said, "It's not hard work, as long as we have high-grade ingredients with zero pollution."

Jin Xi smiled but remained silent. He glanced at the distance, where his team members were roughly removing soil from the very edges of the chestnut tree. With such a large tree and so much earth, how were they going to transport it back without reducing the weight?
The next day, Tan You saw a chestnut tree with its crown pruned into a round shape, leaving only the main root, which was less than a meter in diameter. As for the chestnuts on the tree, naturally, there were none left.

To be honest, the chestnut tree is still alive, but it's hard to say how well it's doing.

Tan You sighed and turned slightly to the side: "Plant it over there. I've already marked it there, about five meters away from the cherry tree."

Even exotic plants have territories. If they get too close and start fighting, she, the farmer, will be the one who suffers. It's better to keep them further apart; after all, the farm is big enough.

Yan Liang and Minister Huang toiled away digging in the dirt; after all, they were the only three who had come today. Relying on Jin Xi? He was still a patient. Relying on Tan You? Wood-type ability users were so weak.

That meant only the two of them could do it. Yan Liang dug in the soil, his eyes occasionally glancing at the cherry tree. He'd never seen a level four mutated cherry tree with zero pollution before. Speaking of which, do the fruits of these pollution-free, high-level mutated plants taste particularly different?
Tan You let him look; as more exotic plants grew here, more covetous eyes would naturally follow. It didn't matter; she could protect herself.

After planting the chestnut trees, Yan Liang and Minister Huang didn't put down their shovels. They stood near the chestnut trees, leaning on their shovels, ready to see Tan You's next move.

Jin Xi held up the terminal: "You don't mind if I record a video, do you?"

"It doesn't matter, as long as I don't show my face." Tan You shrugged. "Shall I begin?"

“Wait a minute,” Minister Huang quickly stood up straight, “I’ll point the terminal at the chestnut tree and test its pollution index first.”

Tan You made a casual gesture, and Minister Huang held up the terminal to make sure the numbers on it were in the frame along with Tan You. Jin Xi adjusted it a bit more before saying, "Currently, the pollution index of the chestnut trees is 18."

"Can you do it? It's a level three mutated chestnut tree."

Tan You shook her head: "I can give it a try, but I don't think it should be a big problem."

Jin Xi thought for a moment and handed over two level-three wood-type crystal cores: "Use these if you don't have enough special abilities."

“Okay,” Tan You nodded, “Shall we begin?”

Jin Xi pressed the record button, and Tan You used her supernatural powers with both hands. The green supernatural power landed on the chestnut tree, and the pollution index of the chestnut tree immediately dropped.

Yan Liang stood to the side watching: "17, 16, 15..."

"It's dropped to 10 already? How long has it been? Can wood-type ability users purify the pollution index this quickly?"

Minister Huang stared intently at the numbers on the terminal: "Xiao Linzi is naturally talented, what's so strange about that?"

After the pollution index dropped to 10, the rate of decrease began to slow down. Yan Liang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was still a genius within the normal range. If the pollution index below 10 dropped this quickly, it would be too illogical.

There's a significant difference between level three and level four mutated plants. Although Tan You's purification process was slow, it was still easier than purifying the cherry tree. However, when it dropped to 2%, Tan You's supernatural power was almost depleted.

To put it simply, when she purified the cherry tree, its pollution index was less than 2. But now she's purifying it from the age of 18, so the required superpowers are naturally different.

After regaining her composure, Tan You freed one hand, and Jin Xi quickly placed the crystal core into her palm. With the crystal core's assistance, the purification proceeded smoothly again. It continued for an hour before Tan You completely purified all the pollution from the mutated chestnut tree.

After applying five more layers of protection to the mutated chestnut tree, Tan You withdrew her hand. By then, both crystal cores had been used up and turned into a pile of powder.

Yan Liang's expression was complicated. He looked at the pollution-free chestnut trees, then at the small pile of powder: "How much money is that?"

Tan You wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Don't you want to see the results all at once? Normally, it can be purified slowly, in ten days or half a month, and it will be purified."

Because of the crystal core she used, she still possessed supernatural abilities. As she spoke, Tan You threw a ball of supernatural energy at each of the apple, cherry, and chestnut trees.
