Chapter 381

"System, why can't jumping grass survive in other places?"

Although Qin Feng naturally understood the principle of "oranges grown in the south of the Huai River are oranges, but those grown in the north are trifoliate oranges."

But this Xiulan City did not have any special climate or environment.

Even if the environment in slightly more distant places was different, what about the cities around it?

For example, the distance between Bibabu City and Xiulan City could be considered very close.

This was just walking for a month; if one really rode a horse, it would take at most ten days.

If there was a car for him to drive, it would probably take three days to arrive.

At such a distance, with extremely similar climate and soil conditions, why could only Xiulan City grow jumping grass?

This made Qin Feng feel very curious.

Ding-dong, the player asks a question, and the system gives an answer.

[The necessary condition for the growth of jumping grass is not water, soil, or climate, but the feces of a kind of monster.]

[And this kind of monster only exists around Xiulan City and exists in large numbers. Therefore, jumping grass can only grow in Xiulan City and around Xiulan City.]

[Moreover, jumping grass can only be wild in Xiulan City; all farmed jumping grass cannot survive either.]

The answer given by the system still left Qin Feng very confused.

To be honest, when facing the people of this world, Qin Feng did not have any sense of superiority.

Or the feeling of a high-and-mighty god's perspective as a traveler or a player.

On the contrary, he felt that many people in this real world were very intelligent and excellent.

Not losing to the people of the Nine Provinces, nor to the people of Earth.

He did not think that such a simple reason could not be discovered by even a single person in this Xiulan City, or even the entire Mobis Kingdom.

Therefore, there must be other reasons behind this.

"System, what kind of monster's feces is this, and why couldn't the people here discover this reason?"

If you don't understand, you must ask.

Qin Feng immediately asked the system again.

Ding-dong, the player asks a question, and the system gives an answer.

[This is a monster called a jumping bug, whose size is extremely small, even difficult to see with the naked eye.]

[They live in the soil of Xiulan City. They live in groups.]

[Once they are alone, they will die quickly. They must live in large groups in large areas of soil.]

Isn't this a microorganism?

Qin Feng almost couldn't hold it in.

He smiled speechlessly.

Suddenly, he felt it was somewhat interesting.

Although it looked like two completely different worlds.

And one went to the extreme of technology, while the other went to the extreme of cultivation.

But in fact, these two worlds looked so similar in many places.

Even if the people of this world might not know about the existence of microorganisms.

But this world was also influenced by microorganisms at all times.

It's just that, if the growth of jumping grass was influenced by microorganisms, it was normal for the people of this world not to notice.

After all, even a strong person might not necessarily be as reliable as a microscope.

What's more, ordinary strong people might not be able to do it, and truly top-tier strong people would not lie on the ground to find the reason why this jumping grass could not survive in other places.

Every time they stopped at a planned trading location, the caravan would distribute a portion of the task remuneration.

After all, this task was very likely to last for 1 to 2 years.

If all the remuneration were to be settled at once at the end,

It was estimated that many adventurers would not be willing to accept this task.

And the majority of adventurers would not be willing to accept it.

Therefore, there was such a mechanism for distributing remuneration.

All remuneration was not distributed by the task center at the end.

Instead, it was distributed once for every section of the journey on the way.

In this way, adventurers would also have more confidence in the upcoming tasks.

Of course. Since this task was issued through the task center of the Qilian Chamber of Commerce.

The commission must be given to the Qilian Chamber of Commerce.

It was not that if the commission was not distributed through the chamber of commerce, the Qilian Chamber of Commerce would not be able to take a cut.

If that were really the case, this caravan would not be able to issue any tasks at the Qilian Chamber of Commerce's task center in the future.

And as an adventurer who was now at the sixth level, Qin Feng's remuneration, calculating the section of the road they had walked this month, was a total of two gold coins.

Although compared to the fact that the remuneration Qin Feng usually received for executing tasks was crystal stones, it was a world of difference, but in fact, it was already quite a lot.

Think about a monthly salary of twenty thousand.

And it was not in a first-tier big city.

It was in a remote small city.

It was quite good.

It had to be said, cultivators earn money fast.

"Going out for a stroll?"

After settling down, Lin An proposed.

"That's fine."

Arriving in a new city, for them, it was naturally to first stroll around this city.

Rest, broaden their horizons, and by the way, see if there were any places worth noting.

And for Qin Feng, there was another purpose for strolling around, which was to see if he could encounter anything.

That could trigger the system and issue a task.

After all, as long as the system issued a task, the rewards would definitely be much more than the remuneration for tasks accepted at the task center in this real world.

Moreover, the significance of the task issued by the system itself was very likely not just about doing the task, but also other things.
