The Lucky Farmgirl

Chapter 2301 - 2276: It’s Up to You

Bai Shan smiled slightly, pointing to the bottom of the pit and said, "To terminate or not is just a word from you, so if you say you destroyed it here, who else would suspect besides Daji?"

The guards and those villagers certainly wouldn’t, because they don’t get close, and they don’t even know if they have found the sinkhole.

Bai Shan threw the stone that was difficult to bring up into the sinkhole and said indifferently, "And Daji won’t say anything, let’s go, we’ve destroyed them all."

Manbao: ...

She still sat by the edge of the pit, looked up at Bai Shan in a daze, obviously not expecting things to develop this way.

Bai Shan reached out to touch her head and smiled, "Manbao, we need to be careful, but also a little bold, we also have many people we can rely on."

Bai Shan’s eyes brightened, and he smiled, "Let’s start now, don’t worry."

Manbao thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."

Then the two walked hand in hand with their baskets on their backs.

As they walked, they climbed the high dunes to look into the distance, "I don’t know where the other two pieces fell, it’s too hard to find."

Bai Shan said, "It’s a bit difficult to find on our own; when we return, we can hire people from the village to spread out and look."

"Do they care about money?"

"We can promise cloth, porcelain, and grain, buy some later and have it delivered to them."

Manbao thought this idea was good, but still felt that Keke was more useful, so she asked Keke, "Did you not scan it?"

"No."

Manbao was a little disappointed, "If you update again, what distance can you scan?"

"If authorization is lifted, it will increase by forty kilometers."

Manbao was curious, "I can’t send you points, can’t the Alliance and the Encyclopedia Pavilion either?"

"Only the main system can," Keke said, "I obey the main system, only the main system has the authority to reward or punish me."

The reward is naturally points, which can be used to update the system, utilize more energy, level up, and gain a higher status.

The subsystems under the main system also have levels. As the initial number 0531 subsystem, its level obviously won’t be very high.

If not accidentally stranded in this time and space and planet, and the host being a child, it might not have had the chance to develop self-awareness.

Keke now has more "ideas", it’s not as naive as a few years ago, its thinking is more mature, and it hides its data better, and is bolder on some issues, as long as the main system isn’t watching, it will answer the host’s questions as much as it can.

Manbao then started pondering and asked Keke, "If I ask the Alliance and the Encyclopedia Pavilion to request the main system to reward you, will they agree?"

A string of data from Keke floated by, saying nothing.

Manbao felt it was tacitly agreeing, so she began to plan this.

This matter can only be discussed with Teacher Mo, but Manbao knows the main system can view emails within the system, as well as her exchanges with others.

Even the Alliance and the Encyclopedia Pavilion can too, under the pretext of monitoring network security.

So Manbao didn’t contact Teacher Mo immediately, intending to plan it in her mind first.

They can see the content of the exchange, but they surely can’t know what’s in her mind, right?

Bai Shan saw her spacing out again, so he took her hand to prevent her from falling.

They walked for half an hour until they saw Daji wearing a helmet. When he saw that they weren’t wearing helmets, he was startled. He remembered that they hadn’t left the toxic area, right?

He looked behind him and confirmed that the stick he planted in the ground this morning was still standing far away. He then strode towards them, "Young master, Miss Man, why aren’t you wearing helmets? And why are you back?"

Bai Shan said, "The poisonous stone has been destroyed by us, there’s no radiation now, only some contamination under the sand, but it doesn’t radiate, so you can take off your helmet."

Daji: ...

He looked at them suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, and couldn’t help but ask, "Destroyed? All destroyed?"

Bai Shan nodded, so did Manbao.

Daji put down the two large hoes and shovels on his shoulders and looked at them silently.

Manbao’s gaze was a bit evasive; Bai Shan glanced at the hoes and shovels, and said to him, "It’s okay, there are two more pits, perhaps they might come in handy when found."

Daji looked at the young master, then at Miss Man, and finally had no choice but to re-shoulder the hoes and shovels. After thinking a bit, he took off his helmet as well.

Bai Shan smilingly took the helmet from his hand and put it in the basket.

The guards and Aini in the camp hadn’t expected Daji to return after just two hours, and even their masters returned with him.

Bai Shan announced to them, "We found the sinkhole, and the poisonous stones inside were all destroyed. Now there’s only some contamination under the sand in the sinkhole, but no significant issues otherwise."

Aini heaved a sigh of relief and couldn’t help thanking the heavens.

The guards, who hadn’t seen the poisonous stone nor the sinkhole, only knew the stones were toxic and that contact could lead to problems. So they weren’t deeply touched but were happy to hear the poisonous stones had been destroyed, asking excitedly, "Young master, are we going back now?"

"There are two more places, not sure where they are."

None of the guards or even Aini knew.

However, their initial plan was to first deal with this known sinkhole, so they decided to return to Danshi Village and gather more people before deciding the next step.

As things went relatively smoothly, everyone happily went back.

The village chief hadn’t expected them to return so quickly and was delighted to hear that the poisonous stones in the sinkhole had been destroyed, without asking how they were destroyed.

He happily said, "We’ll slaughter a sheep tonight to eat mutton!"

As for the other two places, he didn’t know either, only gesturing, "There was a bang in mid-air, and then it split into three, one landed here, the other two landed in that direction and that direction."

Bai Shan noted this down and went to ask others, only to find their remembered directions differed.

He was both amused and frustrated, but he still took a pen and noted down all their directions. A total of twenty-three people remembered the approximate locations; he spread out these twenty-three pieces of paper, grouped similar ones together, counted them and then picked out the stack with the highest overlap for consideration.

Manbao was with the village’s women and children, talking to them about smallpox, "I heard that further west, people can transfer smallpox to cows, let the cows develop pox, and then use cowpox to inoculate people, so they won’t get smallpox anymore."

Manbao said, "Smallpox is also a terminal illness."

The women looked eager, "People from that place are so skilled; can they cure our illnesses?"

Manbao paused and said, "Perhaps someone can, I know a Master Zhi Ren, who has traveled many places. If you meet him in the future, perhaps you can ask him."
