Day by day in the infinite game

Chapter 222 222. Travel in the Desert ([-])

The alfalfa pasture "contracted" by Tang Qinqin began to wait for germination.

As the saying goes, a crop depends entirely on fertilizer.The same is true for pasture. With enough fertilizer in the ground and the water of life that increases the germination rate and speed of grass seeds, she doesn't need to worry about the rest.

Even the important watering and maintenance work in the early stages of germination was assigned by the alpha wolf to the younger wolf, and the arrangements were clearly arranged.

……

Obsidian had a dark face and lay on the head of the alpha wolf, exuding an aura of displeasure from me all over his body.

Its mission is to inspect new alfalfa meadows, eliminate insect pests, and protect fragile seedlings.

This job is very satisfying, it is relaxing and enjoyable and can fill the stomach.

But it really doesn't want to stay with this stupid wolf down there.

Since becoming a stupid wolf, as the game progressed and his experience and IQ had increased, he has completely transformed into a "cat hates dog" existence, chasing after people every day and asking a million whys.

Just asking if you don't understand is a good learning attitude and there is no problem.

The problem is that Obsidian, as a spider, is not much smarter than a stupid wolf.

Although one of the most popular species in the spider family has an intelligence comparable to that of a five-year-old human being, and it is the best in the family, it is usually used to eating and sleeping spiders, and it is not arranged by Tang Qinzhen. An infinite loop runs between these two points.

Also because of its powerful hunting skills, it can "not open for three years and eat for three years after opening", so there is no need to worry about starving when it is spoiled.

Therefore, more often than not, it is a spider that "does not want to make progress".It does not require a higher IQ, life is already prosperous enough.

Its only interest is to study new forms of spider webs, or to improve the performance of spider webs.

But this stupid wolf's concerns have no boundaries. Why does the sun go down? How do seeds germinate? Why don't sheep eat wolves? Why do spiders eat insects...

Obsidian just wanted to knit a "mask" for it and cover its mouth, and by the way, ask it whether its family should live by the sea. The rules are so lenient and it talks so much.

It is a spider that likes silence, but this stupid wolf chatters too much!

It would rather follow Tang Qinqin to help "reclaim wasteland" in other wastelands than be tortured by the stupid wolf in its ears all day long!
It’s so difficult for the spider!


……

Tang Qinqin's great cause of "reclamation" had just begun when he encountered a small problem.

The little "problem" itself is a cute little animal, a frequent visitor to the Gobi Desert - a hedgehog.

Logically speaking, it is late autumn and it should enter the hibernation stage.But it was curled up sickly in a drafty bush, and it didn't look like it was ready to fall asleep.

Feeling the weak aura of this little guy armed with spiked armor, Tang Qinqin tried to communicate with it.

"Excuse me, are you sick? Do you need help?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the hedgehog tremble.

It first hugged a ball tightly and remained motionless, then slowly unfolded bit by bit, quietly opened its eyes and looked around.

This cute and cautious little appearance made Tang Qinqin feel soft in his heart.

She slowly handed a loquat to its eyes.

The sweet fruity aroma successfully accelerated the little hedgehog's "boot start". It shrugged its long nose, its small black eyes lit up, and its paws were already faster than its brain, and it grabbed the loquat first and held it tightly in its arms. .

"Who are you? Can you help me?" A small voice paused for a while and then sounded cautiously.

No wonder people in some areas keep hedgehogs as pets. Who wouldn’t surrender to such a cute and docile little creature?
"I can help you. I'm human. My name is Tang Qinqin. Hello, little hedgehog."

Tang Qinqin smiled like the wolf grandma who wanted to kidnap Little Red Riding Hood.

The little hedgehog was so frightened that he shrank back a little.

Tang Qinqin, who didn't dare to scare the little cutie anymore, had to put on a serious face.

The little hedgehog finally slowly approached Tang Qinqin for the sake of the sweet and delicious loquat fruit in his arms.

……

Hedgehogs often feed on insects and worms.

After Tang Qinqin's examination, this little hedgehog probably became the next host of the parasite after eating an insect infected by the parasite. As a result, it always suffered from abdominal pain, weight loss, and loss of appetite.

Under normal circumstances, parasites such as "dodder flowers" that always rely on others to absorb nutrients to survive would not choose such a barren, arid and waterless desert area to "fish".

Tang Qinqin was a little curious, although in his heart he was more unreasonably disgusted with the soft-bodied insects.

The body structure of a hedgehog is different from that of humans. Moreover, it is too small. Its pink little arms are not as thick as Tang Qinqin’s little finger.

After concentrating on deworming it and sweating profusely, Tang Qinqin felt as if he had just completed a tricky operation.

She poked the little hedgehog who didn't dare to look with his eyes closed: "Look, this is what makes you feel unwell. You should pay more attention when looking for bugs to eat in the future, and don't eat problematic bugs."

The curled up little hedgehog was forced to stick out his head and listened to Qin's "teaching advice" with a pitiful expression.

It wanted to make a small protest. As a hedgehog with an IQ less than the level of a two-year-old human being, would it know too much?
The key is, what kind of parasite looks a bit disgusting to the hedgehog, and I want to taste what it tastes like and how to break it!
"Human, can you help my family and friends? They are in the same pain as I was before." The little social fear hedgehog tried hard to hand out its "social invitation".

"No problem." Tang Qinqin readily agreed.

People who like cats will be very happy when they see one, and bubbling with happiness when they see a group of them.

Little hedgehogs are so cute, so of course there’s nothing wrong with meeting more of them!
So, Tang Qinqin followed the little hedgehog to meet its family and friends.

In addition to helping them repel insects, each one gave a little bit of energy to help them recover, and also helped a new hedgehog mother who was giving birth to give birth to soft little hedgehog cubs.

Tang Qinqin almost didn't dare to touch the newly born little Zai Zai, who was "thorny, soft, blind," for fear that if he accidentally blessed it with great force, the little Zai Zai would be broken into little pieces.

According to Xiaoqi’s real-time popular science, hedgehogs are very solitary animals that live in bushes. They are timid and easily frightened, preferring to be quiet and dislike making noise.

Tang Qinqin couldn't help but nodded. It was indeed true. This group of hedgehogs was a realistic "social fear" family.

If they hadn't been infected with parasites, causing physical discomfort, and had no intention of hunting to store energy, the whole family would have gone to sleep for the winter.

"Hedgehogs prey on a large number of pests and are beneficial animals to humans." Xiao Qi finished the final summary.

"Oh? That's great." Tang Qinqin's eyes lit up.

It’s good to have beneficial animals, and it’s good to eat pests. The future of this land does not lack such “partners” that can be mutually beneficial and win-win.
