The sign-in system hit me and took my country away

Chapter 87 Tempting Blue Melon

"Do you want to eat these fruits?" Su Siyi suddenly walked in front of Feng Bailin and asked the wolf leader.

"Awoo, awoo," the wolf leader called softly, nodding his wolf head.

"It seems that you are attracted by the fragrance of these fruits!" Su Siyi said with an expression of understanding.

"Are you okay?" Nangong Jingming came to them anxiously and asked with concern.

"It's okay. Look, it's just staying there quietly without moving!" Su Siyi said with a smile.

"What do you want to do?" Seeing the wolf leader suddenly run away, Nangong Jingming's face suddenly darkened. He frowned, and his eyes revealed a hint of dissatisfaction and anger. He had originally thought that the wolf would follow them obediently, but now it suddenly left the group, which made him feel very surprised.

"Awoo, awoo." After hearing Nangong Jingming's words, the wolf leader stopped, turned around, and let out a low and plaintive cry towards him. It seemed to feel aggrieved by Nangong Jingming's tone, but at the same time, it also expressed its own needs.

"It wants to eat the blue melon," Su Siyi said at this moment. She looked at the wolf leader with an understanding smile on her face. She knew that the wolf leader was attracted by the aroma of the blue melon and couldn't help but look for food.

Nangong Jingming turned to look at Su Siyi, a hint of confusion in his eyes. He didn't understand why the wolf leader would be interested in blue melons, after all, they usually feed on meat. But he decided to trust Su Siyi's judgment.

"Aren't you a carnivorous animal? Why do you eat fruits?" Nangong Jingming asked the wolf leader in confusion.

"Awoo, awoo!" It smells so good, so tempting to the wolf. He wants to eat it, even meat is not as fragrant as this.

"Forget it, I can't understand you even if you yell!" Nangong Jingming saw it looking at them with an aggrieved expression, but he felt really bad that he still couldn't understand.

"It said that the blue melon is so fragrant and so tempting to them!" Su Siyi said the wolf leader's thoughts with a smile on her face.

"Sister Su, can you understand animal language?" Zhong Shumei asked Su Siyi with her big eyes like copper bells in surprise.

"I don't understand, but the system does. The system told me!" Su Siyi said embarrassedly with a red face. How could she know animal language? She was not that powerful yet.

"This blue melon is indeed becoming more and more fragrant. I can't help but want to pick it and eat it!" Feng Bailin said affirmatively.

"Yeah, I feel the same way. This melon smells so good, it makes me greedy!" Zhong Shumei said with an intoxicated look on her face.

"System, is this fragrance normal?" Su Siyi asked the system.

"Master, this is normal. This is the normal aroma of blue melon. The stronger the aroma, the sooner it is ripe!" said the system.

"When will it mature? How do we tell if it's mature?" Su Siyi asked with a puzzled look.

"Master, when they are ripe, they will fall down automatically." said the system!

Hearing the system say this, I was a little surprised: "What? Automatically falling? Doesn't that mean these fruits are already ripe?" A trace of doubt and worry surged in my heart. After all, we all know that generally speaking, if fruits automatically fall after ripening, it often means that they are overripe or even starting to rot. So, are these fruits still edible? With this question, I questioned the system: "Since they will fall automatically, can they still be eaten? If they fall automatically, doesn't that mean they are spoiled? How can they still be eaten?"

However, the system seemed to have anticipated my reaction and replied calmly: "Master, this is a sign of its maturity. It is naturally edible. It can also be stored at room temperature for a month without spoiling, and in a cold storage for three months without spoiling." The system explained.

Hearing the system's affirmative response, I couldn't help but feel curious and wanted to find out the reason. So, I continued to ask the system: "Why do these fruits have such special characteristics? Is it related to the environment in which they grow or other factors?"

The system patiently answered my question: "Yes, Master, this plant has unique growth habits and physiological mechanisms. When the fruits are ripe, they automatically fall off the plant to better spread the seeds. At the same time, due to their special tissue structure and chemical composition, these fruits remain fresh even after falling, and are edible and taste good. In addition, the fruits of this plant have certain antioxidant and preservation capabilities, allowing them to be stored at room temperature for a period of time without deterioration. Of course, if they need to be stored for a longer period of time, it is recommended to place them in a cold storage to extend the shelf life."

"Haha, that's great!" Su Siyi thought it was great when she heard it.

"You want to eat the blue melon, but it's not ripe yet. I'll treat you to it when it's ripe. You can't come and destroy this land!" Su Siyi said seriously to the wolf leader.

"Awoo awoo!" The wolf leader nodded its head obediently.

"It agreed!" Feng Bailin said in surprise, looking at the humanized wolf leader.

"Yes, go and bring the other people and the wolves here!" Nangong Jingming ordered Feng Bailin.

"Yes!" Feng Bolin immediately ran to the water source and called everyone back. The wolves knew where their leader was and had wanted to come over for a long time, but the humans would not let them leave, and they did not hear the leader's call, so they did not take any action.

"These blue melons are much bigger than watermelons. They must weigh at least ten pounds!" Luo Jingzhong said in surprise as he looked at the blue melons that had grown much bigger.

"They are not ripe yet. When they are ripe, they will fall off automatically!" Su Siyi said with a smile.

"It's ripe and can fall off automatically. I've never seen that before!" Meng Weigang said in surprise.

"You'll be able to see it in a while!" Yin Yuncheng said.

"Haha, everyone can see it!" Xi Huaichun said with a smile.

Finally, everyone lived in peace with a group of desert wolves while waiting for the acre of blue melons to mature.

Time seems particularly long when waiting, but it can also pass through the long time.

Su Siyi was observing and saw a large blue melon weighing 20 kilograms suddenly snap and the vines connected to it broke.

"This one is ripe!" Su Siyi excitedly stepped forward and took out the blue melon!

"Let me do it!" Nangong Jingming immediately stepped forward and took the blue melon from her hand.

"Boss, come on, let's try the taste first." Xi Huaichun said with a smile.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Look, there should be a lot of blue melons that are about to ripen!" Nangong Jingming said to him.
