My Beast Ranch Story

Chapter 3, the first pasture product

As the light faded, what fell into Jiang Simiao's eyes was a silver-white bracelet.

Jiang Simiao stretched out his hand and just after taking these two things, a prompt was automatically given in the illustrated book.

[Portable storage belt]

[Introduction]: A portable bracelet created with space-attributed energy crystals as the core and grass-attributed energy crystals as assistance, which can store living things.

[Function]: Can store up to four things.

[Production conditions]: (not yet unlocked)
[Upgrade conditions]: (not yet unlocked)
The introduction is easy to understand, and it is a standard backpack-type prop, which is quite good to bring with you when you go out to explore.

However, if you want to unlock the above production and upgrade conditions, you also need to collect illustrations.

After briefly testing it with carrots, Jiang Simiao was speechless.

"It's just that I can only save four...it's a bit too little. Forget it, I can barely use it."

He didn't look at it any more after that. After putting it on his wrist, he immediately returned his attention to the "Pasture Illustrated Book".

"Since the slime information has been included, you should be able to view it directly..."

Jiang Simiao muttered softly, touching the cover of the illustrated book and flipping it gently.

[No.]: #001
[Name]: Pink Slime

[Attribute]: General

[Food Habits]: Omnivorous
[Introduction]: The most common type of slime on Blue Star, a little thing that likes to eat everything.They are lively and very docile, and they are also the easiest type of slime to keep in captivity.You know, the mucus in their stomachs is particularly nutritious, and because of their soft bodies, they are very malleable and can hold an unimaginable amount of things.However, due to the loss of some technologies, many people have forgotten that slime farming is also a farming industry that can support an urban economy.

[Notes]: Pink slimes are nothing to worry about. They are docile and cute. After eating spiritual plants, they have the ability to control the mucus on their bodies and no longer make everything wet.Among them, only a few individuals have the ability to produce crystals in the initial state, and they can only produce crystals once a month. Each time a crystal is produced, a large amount of energy is consumed, so remember to feed them well.

Jiang Simiao:?
He turned to look at Xiaoruan, who was still sleeping on his stomach next to him, and carefully looked at the introduction in the illustrated book, feeling a little unsure.

Lively by nature?
"Um?"

Xiaoruan raised his eyes. His black eyes were full of clear stupidity. He quickly closed them again and began to sleep soundly again.

"Uh... forget it, forget about it for now. Slime crystals and spiritual plants, let's look at other things in the illustrated book first."

Seeing Xiao Ruan's appearance, Jiang Simiao no longer expected anything more.Instead, he immediately put down the backpack behind him and poured out all the contents in it.

Four small carrots, a few plucked green onions, an unknown green radish, and a little bit of fiber pulled from anywhere.

Jiang Simiao first picked up a carrot and tried to lean it on the illustrated book, intending to try to sacrifice it.

really!
Got nothing.

"Sure enough, there is no bug. Ordinary crops cannot be sacrificed and collected for recording." Jiang Simiao shook his head in confusion. After putting down the radish, he directly picked up the distinctive green radish.

He dug this thing out of a weed.

At first I thought it was just a leaf, but it turned out to be a green radish.

Moreover, I had used everything to seduce him, but green radish was the most effective. As expected, this should be one of the spiritual plants in the illustrated book.

He picked up the green radish and just leaned it against the illustrated book when a thin golden line suddenly appeared between them.

"It works!" Jiang Simiao was a little surprised, the light reflected on his face, his eyes full of expectation.

The ranch illustration book automatically floated up from Jiang Simiao's hand, and a green radish appeared on the original ranch cover.

The illustrated book automatically turned to the page about food, and lines of text and pictures appeared in the illustrated book.

[Name]: Cuishui radish
[Category]: Vegetables
[Introduction]: Radish, which is rich in water elements, only grows in spring and mostly appears near slime colonies.Compared with ordinary carrots, it has a large amount of chlorophyll, so it is green in appearance and has the function of condensing energy.After a slime is eaten, there is a chance that it will gain the ability to produce crystals and produce a corresponding slime crystal.

After everything was recorded, the ranch illustration book and the green radish fell into Jiang Simiao's hands again.

"So, only by eating this thing can crystals be produced?"

Jiang Simiao put the green water radish on the ground, nodded thoughtfully, and began to look through the illustrated book in his hand.

The things recorded in the illustrated book are very detailed. In addition to this basic information, there are also its location distribution, planting guide, scientific records, nutritional analysis, and even various recipes related to it.

However, it is a pity that the information related to the unrecorded parts in the illustrated book has been mosaic, so even though its habits and preferences have been mentioned in detail in the planting guide, Jiang Simiao still has no way to plant this thing.

"Why do you still need to collect illustrations..." Jiang Simiao sighed helplessly.

That's the only role now...

Jiang Simiao closed the illustrated book, turned to look at Xiaoruan, who was still sleeping soundly, put the illustrated book away, picked up the green water radish, and slowly approached it.

"Hmm?!" It was still sleeping when it suddenly felt a sweet fragrance surrounding itself, and its saliva flowed out subconsciously.

It opened its eyes and found a fragrant thing dangling above its head.

So fragrant...

Its eyes suddenly widened, it took a deep breath, gathered enough strength to launch off, opened its mouth wide, and took it by surprise.

"Oom~!"

It swallowed it in one gulp, turned around in the air and landed on the ground, and began to feel the taste of green water radish.

As soon as he swallowed it, Xiao Ruan's eyes suddenly lit up. He originally wanted to find some more food, but as soon as he moved, his happy little faces squeezed together.

Suddenly, I felt that a lot of energy was gathering in my body, growing and solidifying, and my body couldn't swell.

Looking at the little softie that was gradually swelling, Jiang Simiao, who was observing from the side, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but stretched out a finger and tapped its face.

Ice cold, soft and bouncy.

"Hmm~"

Jiang Simiao suddenly became playful and poked his fingers in.

Hmm... no, it's swollen...

Ding!
Jiang Simiao poked it down, and there was a crisp sound from Xiaoruan's body.Then the pale pink light that lit up on it dissipated, squeezing out the contents inside.

"Hmm?" At this time, Xiaoruan finally recovered and collapsed on the ground without strength. He squinted his eyes and didn't even notice a pink crystal rolling down from his body.

Jiang Simiao's eyes lit up when he saw the pink crystal that fell out. He picked it up and put it in front of his eyes to examine it carefully.

"Is this a slime crystal? It looks similar to crystal."

It was a pale pink transparent spherical crystal that was a little warm when held in the hand.

After looking at it for a few times, Jiang Simiao did not hesitate and brought the crystal closer to the illustrated book as before.

As a ray of light flashed, the illustrated book was filled in again. As the pages of the book were turned one by one, countless pink slime shadows appeared in the sky.

Information about this slime crystal was finally revealed.

[Name]: Pink crystal
[Category]: Energy Crystal
[Introduction]: This can be said to be the most versatile slime crystal and an excellent "multifunctional substance".Since it has no attributes, it can be used as a universal energy core.For non-extraordinary creatures, this crystal is enough to change their physique and allow them to enter the extraordinary stage.However, because slime that can produce crystals is too rare, its existence and records are rarely known.

Jiang Simiao:! ! !
He turned his head sharply and looked at the limp Xiaorui next to him, his eyes as if looking at some treasure.

Sorry, Xiaoruan, I wrongly blamed you.

Just after reading the opening introduction of Pink Crystal, Jiang Simiao had already started to say "f*ck".

A multi-functional substance that can also enable pet beasts to awaken to extraordinary powers...

This... this would cost at least four to five thousand pieces on the market!

Jiang Simiao was a little excited: "And it can also be used by Shi Lai, so that after I make a contract with it, I can better understand its meaning and organize the pasture together!"

However, when he read Slime's introduction again and saw that it was a month long, Jiang Simiao felt as if he had been poured cold water on him and quickly calmed down.

Moreover, slimes are originally rare elemental beasts. According to the illustrated book, there are very few slimes that can produce crystals.

If he hadn't been lucky enough to pick up a green radish, Xiaoruan would not be able to produce crystals. The possibility of expanding the scale of breeding in the early stage is too low.

"So we still have to plant some crops first, and we have to reclaim this wasteland in the afternoon."

Although Jiang Simiao was a little disappointed, he immediately cheered up, patted the dust on his body, repackaged the things, and picked up the little softie on the ground.

"I won't sell this for now. I'll give it to Shi Lai to eat. If it can become extraordinary, it should be able to help me do something... hmm? What is it? It smells so good."

Just as Jiang Simiao was planning his next plan, a burst of fragrance suddenly came.I hadn't eaten all morning, so I was already very hungry, and now my mouth was watering.

However, he turned his head and looked around, smelled carefully, and suddenly realized that the fragrance was actually coming from his cabin.

"what?"

Just now... wasn't it just Shi Lai who went in?
"It won't be the right time... right?"

A strange picture suddenly appeared in Jiang Simiao's mind.

Shi Lai stood in the kitchen of his ranch, with yellow stars shining in his eyes, grinning, holding up a knife as big as his body, swishing open the only remaining ingredients at home.

"Huh..." Jiang Simiao shook his head quickly.

It’s so weird, how is it possible!
