Chapter 280: Universal Planting System (19)

Xie Yang had no dreams all night.

The next morning, she got up and first went to the Ice Lake to collect Salt, then proceeded to process the remaining offal, hooves, and bones.

She had only listed half of it yesterday, and there was still half left today, enough to keep her busy for the better part of the day.

Xie Ting continued to lie in the vegetable patch, guarding those seedlings that changed with each passing day, running back to the house to notify Xie Yang as soon as there was any change.

Xie Yang would wipe the sweat from him, then feed him a piece of jerky or two beef balls.

The little one would wag his tail and happily return to the vegetable patch to continue his watch.

He felt that this was truly an interesting job!

Watching the green little seedlings sprout from the soil, grow taller and larger, and become even bigger seedlings made him so happy! He was so happy that even the Mao Mao on the back of his hands had decreased a little!

Oh right! Why had the Mao Mao on his little hands decreased?

The little one stared at his little hands, looking left and right, then lifted his little feet to take a peek—oh no! Both his hands and feet were shedding hair, awoo! How could this happen!

He panicked and scrambled toward the house: "Mom! Mom! Something terrible has happened!"

"Boom—"

He saw his mom kick a bad guy away with one foot.

"Cough—cough cough—"

The person kicked into sustaining internal injuries was none other than Jin Dawei, a lackey sent by the Red Tiger Gang boss to scout out Xie Yang's background.

Terrified of being kicked again, he simply lay on the ground and played dead.

How could Xie Yang not know he was playing dead? She walked straight over, first confiscated the other party's Light Brain, then grabbed him by the collar: "Since you've come, don't leave; stay and do some work! Our family's Robot needs a rest, lest it burn out its Chip from overwork."

"..."

What? She wanted to detain him to do work?

Do what work?

Replace the Robot to plow the land?

Oh my god!

This ground was as hard as a metal plate; how could it be plowed by human labor?

Is this woman a devil?

Xie Yang did not allow him to refuse, directly shoving a homemade Metal Shovel into his hands.

"You can leave only after you finish plowing one mu of land."

"Th-then, what if I can't finish plowing it?"

Xie Yang glanced at him as if looking at an idiot: "If you can't finish, then of course you keep plowing."

"..."

Jin Dawei wore a mournful face as he carried the heavy Metal Shovel to the wasteland designated by Xie Yang.

Damn it, why did she have to pick such high-density metal farming tools? Couldn't she buy a lighter pair?

He was already exhausted just from handling this farming tool; how could he have any energy left to plow the land?

Boss! Boss, come and save me!

I've been detained by this devil woman!

Whether the Red Tiger Gang boss truly heard Jin Dawei's incomparably miserable inner cry, or whether he saw that he hadn't returned for a long time and couldn't be reached, he sent another subordinate over.

Very good! Now there were two free plowmen!

Xie Yang subdued the new lackey with a kick just the same, confiscated his Light Brain, and threw a Metal Shovel at him:

"Go! Together with your colleague, go plow the land! One mu per person, you can only leave once you're done!"

"..."

C-colleague?

Yin Dameng, who had been kicked until his nose was bleeding, turned his head and met Jin Dawei's complicated gaze.

"You said, since the boss has already witnessed her strength, why provoke her? Now look, we're both detained here... No, are you really planning to plow the land?"

"What else can we do if we don't plow? Neither of us is her match."

"... How about we sneak away when she's not paying attention?"

"I heard that!" Xie Ting suddenly popped up from behind them, his light brown round eyes bright and shining, "You want to sneak away before finishing your work? Mom—Mom—they aren't listening to you, they want to sneak away when you're not looking..."

"Oh, my little ancestor!" Jin Dawei almost knelt before the little one, "Don't shout, don't shout! I was wrong! We won't sneak away! We'll plow the land earnestly right now!"

"..."

When Xie Yang poked her head out of the window to look over, she saw the Red Tiger Gang boss's right-hand men, each wielding a Metal Shovel, diligently plowing the severely compacted wasteland.

Actually, she didn't need that much land for the time being.

The seeds she had scavenged from the Zone 1 Garbage Dump were only so many, and that small patch of land behind the house was enough for her to cultivate, but who told these guys not to live a good life and insist on coming to her territory to look for trouble.

Labor delivered to her doorstep—it would be a waste not to use it.

Over there, the Red Tiger Gang boss waited and waited, but never saw the two subordinates he sent out return, and he couldn't reach them on their Light Brains either. Had two grown men just gone missing like that? This made him suspicious:

Could it be that there really were unmined raw ores in the Waste Mining Area near the Xie Family?

Had the two subordinates forgotten to report back to him because they were too busy picking up ore?

Thinking of the valuable raw ore, Chi Dahu couldn't sit still.

"Someone! Prepare the Flying Vehicle! Come with me to the eastern border of District 31."

A few minutes later, Xie Yang saw her little beast-cub son with his two furry little triangular ears standing upright, his fur also bristling in alert, running over with a nervous expression:

"Mom! More bad guys are here! There are so many of them this time!"

Chi Dahu brought six or seven subordinates and arrived in a medium-sized Flying Vehicle.

Xie Yang didn't look at Chi Dahu and his group, but was instead looking at that medium-sized Flying Vehicle that could accommodate seven or eight people.

The passenger cabin can seat six or seven people, so how big must that cargo hold be?

Xie Yang's eyes lit up.

She smiled and walked up to the group of local thugs who had clearly come with ill intent: "Since you've come, why bring gifts!"

"???"

The next second, Xie Yang unleashed her full combat power, sending them flying one by one with a kick each to the field where Jin Dawei and Yin Dameng were clearing land.

Before Chi Dahu and his crowd could recover from being kicked and dazed, their Light Brain bracelets were snatched away, and at the same time, an iron shovel was shoved into their hands.

Xie Yang crossed her arms and swept a glance over them: "The old rules: one acre of land per person. Once you've finished turning the soil, come to me to collect your Light Brains. As for you—"

She tilted her chin toward Chi Dahu: "As the dignified leader of the Red Worm Gang, you don't set an example by restraining your subordinates, yet you actually lead them in causing trouble? You've frightened us mother and son; how do you propose to compensate us? Forget it, I'm a kind-hearted person and don't like fighting and killing; it's meaningless. Let's be practical: your Flying Vehicle is being requisitioned for a few days without compensation. I'll return it when I'm done using it."

"!!!"

Chi Dahu nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Red Tiger Gang! Red Tiger Gang!

His is the Red Tiger Gang, not the damn Red Worm Gang!

And the Flying Vehicle, that was something he borrowed from a rental agency! Borrowed! Borrowed!

Although he had a decent relationship with the rental agency owner and occasionally borrowed it once or twice without being charged rent.

But if it were requisitioned for free by this female demon, how would he explain it to the rental agency?

The rent for a medium-sized Flying Vehicle is not cheap, and the Red Tiger Gang hasn't found any valuable goods lately; how could they afford it?

If he were asked about it later, was he supposed to tell them his transportation was confiscated because he couldn't beat a female demon? Damn it, doesn't he have any face to save!

After Xie Yang finished speaking, she threw a pile of land-clearing tools at them and walked away to return to the house to continue her great enterprise of earning Star Coins.

Xie Ting had something to keep him busy—

He lay by the edge of the wasteland, straightening his upper body, staring at the Red Tiger Gang crowd like a little foreman, even forgetting that his hand and foot hair seemed to have decreased:

"Uncle with the yellow hair, why haven't you started working yet?"

"Brother with the red hair, don't cry, just keep working hard!"

"Uncle with the blue hair, you dropped your tool! Be careful not to smash your little feet!"

Xie Yang, busy inside the house, would hear her little cub's righteous, soft, and glutinous voice from time to time and smile knowingly.
