Chapter 110 - Harvesting and selective breeding (1/2)

Nothing to point out this time, enjoy the chapter

「By the way, where did you go to have dinner yesterday?」(Hind)

「Hmm? Sushi not served in conveyor belts! They were tasty!」(Yumir)

While harvesting the crops after logging into TB, I chatted with Yumir about what happened yesterday.

In my hand was a small sickle, I tossed what I harvested into my inventory one after another.

I had just finished talking about our exploration of the pyramid with Albert and Philia, then shifted the conversation to what Miyu went to eat yesterday.

However, a high grade sushi store huh…I’m so jealous.

「Ah, fish is also nice. We ate hamburgers.」(Hind)

「Hamburgers!? At home!?」(Yumir)

「Yeah. Made the buns with fermented dough and toasted them, I also tried making homemade hamburgers from scratch. Since mom and Rise looked happy, I think they came out well. I think for next time, I might prepare pickles.」(Hind)

「…gulp.」(Yumir)

Yumir made a sound with her throat and her hands stopped moving.

That would have been fine by itself, but she was approaching me while begging me with her eyes.

So close, her face is so close.

「I get it, I got it! Next time I’ll make a portion for you too.」(Hind)

「You are not lying right!?」(Yumir)

「More importantly, look, don’t stop moving your hands. Today it’s only both of us here, if we just talk, we’ll never finish.」(Hind)

「Umu! Though even if you say that, as you can see, about half of them have withered!」(Yumir)

「Don’t say it, it’ll make me sad…」(Hind)

Even with the improved soil, half of the medicinal herbs we had planted had withered.

I think the biggest reason is that it’s too hot over here for them…

When it comes to the succulent plants, they have grown pretty big in just a few days without any issues.

Though I guess that’s pretty obvious considering those plants are local ones.

「But Yumir, have you noticed? We are picking the medicinal herbs along with seeds right?」(Hind)

「I can see that, is there anything wrong with them?」(Yumir)

「Along with the normal seeds, there are some weird ones mixed in there. Look at them carefully.」(Hind)

Since the inventory automatically sorts things, it should be easy to see.

Hearing my words, Yumir opened her window menu and operated it.

「Re…sistance…?」(Yumir)

「They have resistance to heat level 1. In other words, these medicinal herbs…」(Hind)

「You mean that they have adapted to the heat?」(Yumir)

「It seems like that’s the case. If we can stock up on this generation of medicinal herbs that have heat resistance, in other words-」(Hind)

「Ooh!」(Yumir)

Yumir’s face brightened up.

There’s the possibility in the future that the number of medicinal plants that wither will drastically decrease.

Plants inside the game grow way faster than in real life, so there’s a possibility that it becomes reality in the not so far future.

「Once we are done with the medicinal herbs, I want to grow some food ingredients.」(Hind)

「Potatoes, Hind! We should grow potatoes!」(Yumir)

「You, you were just reminded of the hamburgers and are thinking about..French fries?」(Hind)

「Umu! Ah, just so you know, I also plan to eat that hamburger in real life OK!? I don’t want to do it inside the game! Even if it tastes the same!」(Yumir)

「I know.」(Hind)

To begin with, since the cookware is different, there’s no way they would taste the same.

The seasoning would also be different from real life.

Now that I think about it, I have never had that taste inside the game…they don’t appear that often, monster meat that is.

「Speaking of ingredients, in order to raise cattle, we should make an area with grass.」(Hind)

「Something like cows, pigs and…birds?」(Yumir)

「That’s right. There is far more preliminary work involved compared to a farmland, so we’ll have to do a lot of planning since it’ll be difficult.」(Hind)

「We would also need a shed among other things, even though there are games out there that prepare everything for you…」(Yumir)

We had already bought a plot of land for that purpose, so we plan to go through the same soil improvement method in the future.

Like Yumir said, we also need to build a shed to raise animals in it, it’ll take some time until we can finally start with that.

We can’t really afford to work on it currently.
