ch 8.2 - A Snake! (1/2)

Walking and pondering at the same time, she wandered further and further away from home and onto a path to the back of the mountain.

She figured any precious items would be further into the mountain, so she headed subconsciously toward the back of the mountain.

To get to the back of the mountain, she’d need to walk pass a bamboo forest. A breeze brought over a faint smell of fresh bamboo, Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t help but looked up. An entire mountain of green bamboo, slender, tall, and elegant, wavering slightly in the wind. Their leaves vibrating rhythmically in the wind like nature’s melody.

At this moment in time, what she felt was pure exhilaration. All her worries had dissipated along with her fatigue. Inside her heart was a pure and cool world.

Bamboo could be seen all over in the countryside. Not only do they look pretty, their leaves, juice, fruits, fungus, bark, root, and shoots could all be used as herbs. Most people were aware that bamboo shoots were very edible.

She wondered if she should transplant bamboo shoots into the dimension.

Once she thought of this, she got to work right away. Couldn’t hurt, so might as well give it a try.

At a moist area, she discovered a few bamboo shoots. She didn’t have a hoe with her, so she collected a few sturdier bamboo branches and directly used them to dug out the bamboo shoots.

After lots of effort and dripping in sweat, Cheng Xiao Xiao was able to dug out two bamboo shoots and moved them into the dimension.

“Discovered new species. Dimension has reached level 2!”

Cheng Xiao Xiao, who had just entered the dimension heard the system voice right away. She was taken aback a little. Wiping off some of her sweat on her forehead, she smiled bitterly, “Just level 2? That will take forever to get to level 50!”

“Well, guess I should be glad I leveled up at all. Look like I will have to keep looking for new species to transplant!”

She rested for a little bit, didn’t bother to go see where the bamboo shoots were placed and left the dimension. She left the bamboo forest and wanted to keep looking before it gets dark.

She started looking around the foothills!

No reason to try transplanting commonly-seen species. After all, the dimension already had a pretty large collection.
