CHAPTER 814: CHAPTER 791: SELF-TAUGHT

The two teams entered the elevator.

Youli and Jiang Xiaoxiao were consciously protected by the five members of Monkey’s team, while the beauty on the other side gave Youli a provocative glance.

Out of the elevator, everyone saw two high-horsepower freight trucks.

The rear compartments were equipped with iron mesh guards.

The other side’s Captain Lu suggested, "Let the girls sit in the front; the rear compartments are likely to be very bumpy."

Monkey glanced at Youli, while the other team’s woman had already gotten into the vehicle.

Youli shook her head, "Captain Lu, thank you for your concern. My sister and I are used to bumps; we are not afraid."

Monkey was startled, and Youli gave him a look.

Immediately, Monkey smiled and said, "It’s true that some dogs just can’t make it to the table. Captain Lu, they are just meant to suffer, a pity for your tender care. Later, we’ll have our Captain Liu give them a good lesson."

Captain Lu kindly said, "It’s nothing, the girl sure has a temper. If I remember correctly, this Youli is the fiancée of that so-called Shura, Jiang Lei!"

Monkey nodded, "Yes, your information is accurate. Youli is very skilled; as you’d imagine, Shura’s fiancée wouldn’t be without ability. She’s the core combat strength of our team."

"Ha ha, is that masked one Shura’s sister Jiang Xiaoxiao?"

"Yes!"

Captain Lu gave a meaningful look at Jiang Xiaoxiao.

"What a pity! Get on the trucks and let’s go!"

Monkey led the people onto the vehicles.

In front were Captain Lu’s people.

They all sat in the rear compartment.

The road was indeed bumpy, Jiang Xiaoxiao sat motionless, swaying quietly with the bounces.

Not a word of complaint escaped her lips.

The vehicle sped rapidly, faster than the last experience, Jiang Xiaoxiao felt last time she might not have even gone three kilometers.

It seemed her team’s equipment was lacking.

With heightened vigilance, Jiang Xiaoxiao thought about seeking training with Jin Dachuan after this task was over.

Otherwise, how could she face the high-risk labor intensity?

This was a life-threatening pace.

That meteorite fragment wasn’t necessarily anywhere.

Yesterday, Jiang Xiaoxiao talked with Number Nine, who explained the attributes of Number Ten; in fact, Number Ten and Number Nine had different attributes.

Although they were brothers cut from the same meteorite, truthfully speaking, Number Nine’s attribute tended towards the gentle water type, while Number Ten was more aligned with the explosive fire type.

Which means Number Ten was likely to be in a place with some kind of fire attribute object or terrain.

Jiang Xiaoxiao wanted to ask Number Nine if this place could be mapped, but Number Nine’s response was that it wasn’t omnipotent, only generally aware of the world’s conditions, but some specifics had to be learned from locals.

Well!

Jiang Xiaoxiao could only rely on her teammates for ideas.

Clearly, this wasn’t a good time for chatting, as everyone on the vehicle was eating dust.

After nearly half a day’s bumpiness, they finally reached their destination, seeing lush green grass around, along with towering forests, likely the best scene they had laid eyes on in the barren journey.

Youli stopped the car, "Xiao Xiao, today’s task is very light, and the area around Star Sky Forest is home to some low-level beasts that generally don’t pose much harm to us. That’s also why this place is developed into farmland; large armed teams often take the chance to cultivate a farm here.

Of course, these low-level beasts can damage the farmland, but generally, if the farmland can preserve its yield, that’s considered lucky."

Jiang Xiaoxiao got off the vehicle, with Monkey closely following.

The five men bore significant responsibilities, this task also required them to protect Jiang Xiaoxiao and Youli well.

Especially Jiang Xiaoxiao, the captain had repeatedly urged; Jiang Xiaoxiao’s life was more important than anyone else’s.

Even if all five of them died, they had to ensure Jiang Xiaoxiao survived.

Typically, 300 floors share a medical station, with only three doctors per station, illustrating how scarce medical resources were.

From their 900 floors, they were basically considered the least significant figures, unable to afford the medical station, so the medical station personnel didn’t count them in at all.

Of course, none of the 900 floors’ people considered themselves so precious, never attempting to go to a medical station, just like the captain with such severe injuries, lying at home waiting to die, because they simply couldn’t afford medical care.

So they honestly waited to die, and now with an additional Jiang Xiaoxiao, it was like everyone had one more life.

"Don’t worry, the Flying Tiger Team is very strong. Last time we saw their farmland, it was surprisingly well-cultivated. We don’t know if it’s because they frequently manage it or if every time they go on a task they clean up here, but their farmland suffered little damage from monsters.

This time after we help them harvest, we can receive 10%, which is already a lot. Meanwhile, there are some things worth gathering in this forest; you might even come across some good finds."

Everyone was in a relaxed mood because the mountain forest had a picturesque landscape, excellent environment, good air quality, and there were many plants to gather.

Though there weren’t many edible plants here, essentially, if they wanted to harvest some edible plants, they’d have to grow them themselves, which is why every team took the opportunity to cultivate farmland here.

Their team wasn’t qualified to cultivate farmland here, with only eight people in total, how could they open farmland?

Captain Lu from the Flying Tiger Team jumped off the vehicle with a female team member, directly approaching Monkey and his team.

"Crossing the forest ahead will take us to our farmland. Under normal circumstances, we can finish the harvest in three days. Of course, you can also look for any items you might need in the forest and take them back. Then, we’ll head back as a whole team."

Captain Lu didn’t delay either, directly leading the team to the farm. This farm was indeed large, at least 30 acres in total.

The 30 acres were divided into two sections, one small part was planted with green rice.

Jiang Xiaoxiao could recognize this since she had worked on a farm, rice was something she could identify.

However, the other part was planted with a red variety of plant she couldn’t recognize, as it wasn’t something grown in her previous place.

Captain Lu said, "There are fewer of you; harvest the rice here. We have more people; we’ll harvest the red oat there."

The two teams divided the work. Monkey and another guy served as guards, while the others dove into harvesting. Lu Xiaoxiao said nothing and directly entered the rice field. The Flying Tiger Team had already brought tools, of course, sickles; without such tools, how could one harvest plants?

This harvesting task was grueling for all of them, as they had never done farm work before.

Each one was hunched over, diligently toiling away.

Monkey and Da Shan stared at Jiang Xiaoxiao in awe.

Monkey had been considering letting Jiang Xiaoxiao swap places with him later for guard duty. Actually, Jiang Xiaoxiao’s guard role wasn’t significant, but with Da Shan present, her role wasn’t big either, and he could help her with harvesting rice instead.

Harvesting rice was a tough and exhausting task that most people couldn’t handle, especially not a delicate young lady like Jiang Xiaoxiao; it was assumed she would not be able to do such work.

Unexpectedly, the two of them watched the young girl before them, who heads down, diligently working, one person surpassing the rest by a significant margin, with movements that were elegant and precise, not seeming like work at all but rather painting a landscape, both swift and efficient.

Each stack of rice neatly bundled into heaps, ready to be moved to the roadside for loading onto trucks.

In contrast, looking at the others, their harvested rice lay crooked and scattered everywhere.

Suddenly, they recalled a saying, comparing oneself to others leads to fury.

Turns out, there truly are people in the world who are self-taught geniuses.
