Day by day in the infinite game

Chapter 210 210. Travel in the Desert ([-])
"Oh, by the way, I have another unique point that needs to be mentioned. Have you heard of Cistanche deserticola, a precious Chinese herbal medicine? It likes to parasitize on my roots. Well, although, it does make shuttlecocks Not very comfortable…”

After a short and long introduction, Haloxylon ammodendron tree added with unfinished meaning.

Seabuckthorn, Elaeagnus angustifolia, and Salix chinensis collectively choked: "Who is not a Chinese medicinal material!"

Hongliu followed up: "I also have Cistanche deserticola in my roots! Humans also like to use my branches to grill mutton skewers!"

A group of green plants of various shapes swayed their branches, chirped and argued with each other, completely forgetting Tang Qinqin, an outsider.

Tang Qinqin, a melon-eater, said that the creatures in the desert are indeed full of vitality and energy.

Speaking of medicinal materials, I wonder if Laojiu is interested, and whether Haloxylon ammodendron and tamarisk are willing to "bear the pain of giving up"?

I don’t know if collecting Cistanche deserticola will hurt them.

As for the newly transplanted Haloxylon ammodendron tree seedlings, they currently have no "ability to speak". They currently need to concentrate on taking root downwards and working hard to survive. Only by living can they have unlimited possibilities.

In fact, Tang Qinqin especially wanted to collect every kind of plant in the companion space so that she could have a rich plant kingdom. But more often than not, she couldn't bear to be selfish. Although her companion space was good, who said it would definitely be suitable for them? ?
If you can’t get the real thing, don’t you still have hands?We have a paintbrush, so we can paint more realistically. Don’t I have everything?
……

The weather in the desert is dry and rainless. When the wind blows, the sandy soil on the surface will fly all over the sky, sometimes forming moving sand dunes. Not to mention the fragile seedlings, the grown plants will not be able to withstand it.

"Uncle, do we have an oasis here?" Tang Qinqin asked a villager next to him.

"Yes, but it's far away. There are more people there and the environment is better." The villager replied.

"Then have you seen a mirage too?"

"I've seen it, I've seen it several times." The villager pursed his lips and smiled, stretched out his hand to gesture: "It looks like there are people smoking not far away, it is very realistic, the scene is very shocking... "

Tang Qinqin had never seen a mirage with his own eyes, so he was very interested, but he also knew that now was not the time.

The book says that people walking in the desert are most afraid of seeing mirages. Why? The desert lacks water and thirsty people have a strong sense of survival. If they see the looming "building complex" not far away, they will desperately move in this direction. I ran over, but the result was the opposite. I couldn't find the water and lost my direction.

The signal is relatively weak in the desert. Once you lose your way, it will be more difficult than going to Shu Road.

It was around one o'clock in the afternoon. The village chief and the others did not call it a day. They each found a place to sit and ate some solid food, then got up and continued their almost fixed workload every day.

Although there are players to help out today, they are all ignorant novices who are still in the training stage, and they haven't helped much.

In addition to planting trees and creating sand-proof forests, they have also had an additional task in recent years - picking up garbage.

Yes, that’s right, picking up trash.

They say that wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. In fact, where there are people, there is also garbage.

Although it is an inaccessible desert area, the unique desert style has attracted more and more people to come for sightseeing. With more tourists, just eating and drinking can produce a lot of domestic garbage. When blown up by the wind, the garbage will be It dances with the sand and goes wherever it wants to go.

The existence of garbage cannot be ignored, because it not only pollutes the environment and damages the image of the desert landscape, but also affects the growth of desert plants that are already struggling to survive.

Players suddenly remembered the "Ocean Garbage Cleanup" they participated in before. It was an amazing, half-covered garbage "iceberg"!
Compared with the mountains of garbage in the ocean that gather together with ocean currents and monsoon movements and can be cleaned up intensively, it is obvious that the wind and sand in the desert are not a good temper.

It even refuses to let go of the saplings planted by desert control workers who worked tirelessly under the scorching sun. It is so bad-tempered that it likes to dye the world the same color as the desert, and constantly fights against green to expand the desert territory.

With a heavy heart, the players dispersed to pick up the garbage that was ready to take off at any time. At this time, the hands were quick and the hands were slow.

It's like a hat being blown away by the wind on a windy day, and you chase it all the way, that kind of mysterious embarrassment that you can't explain.

When the villagers saw that the players were responsible for picking up garbage, they began to check the surrounding forests, build soil and fix them, and mark the areas that needed to be replenished.

The saplings they plant are not only from spontaneous cuttings and seed planting. Relying on this alone is not enough. More must be purchased from other areas.

……

Day after day, the players relied on their own efforts to change the villagers' minds and quickly integrated into it.

They also began to have personal goals that they needed to achieve every day. This was not required by the villagers, but was the second side mission released by the game.

[From now on, each person needs to plant 10 saplings every day. The next day there will be at least 10 more saplings than the previous day, and so on.As gamers with heavy responsibilities, I have a small request for you, to ensure that the survival rate of the saplings planted is above 85%. If the saplings are lost due to various reasons, players need to make up for it in time.The standard for completing this side task is that an individual must plant 5000 trees (survive). ]
Listen, this demanding game mission is actually just a branch level!
If you want to complete the game mission as soon as possible, you need to plant more trees every day, and pay attention to the number of trees planted the next day to be ≥10 more than the previous day.

Tang Qinqin was not worried about the guarantee of a certain survival rate required by the game mission. She was still somewhat confident.

……

This is the beginning of the days of the players in dire straits.

It was quite easy in the first few days because of my enthusiasm, but as time went on, life became more and more difficult.

Some people worked hard the past few days and planted a lot of trees, building up a large planting base for themselves. After a few days, they felt tired and wanted to take a rest, only to realize that they had dug a hole for themselves in advance.

It was impossible to take a break, so we had to drag our tired and heavy bodies and minds, cheer each other up, encourage each other, and insist on "working" in the desert every day.

Even though his physique has been improved after "cleansing the marrow and cutting the meridians", he is still a mortal body, and Tang Qinqin is still not immune to aches and pains every day.

The most tiring step is digging holes and digging soil, and the most troublesome step is keeping the seedlings alive.

There is water of life. Tang Qinqin will pour the diluted water of life at the roots of the seedlings every time he waters. The other players also use their own skills and show their magical powers. Although they are exhausted physically and mentally, fortunately, their hard work has not been in vain.

But the wind and sand don't recognize people's hard work.Before finishing work that evening, the sky suddenly became dark, the wind began to get stronger, and the sky was filled with sand and rocks.

The sand and gravel blown up by the wind covered their heads and faces, and the unsuspecting people were confused and almost blinded.
