Chapter 192 World 4: Sweet Potatoes and Corn

After a short rest, Wu Li followed the patriarch to check the crops in the field.

In the fields, crops are growing unevenly, and some are yellow and wilted.

Wu Li squatted down and carefully examined the soil, frowning slightly, "Chief, the soil is a little wet."

"This... could it be that the orcs who are responsible for watering the plants every day poured too much water?" The chief frowned and said with a worried look on his face.

His deep eyes were fixed on the somewhat wilted plants in front of him, his heart full of doubts and worries.

The orcs standing by suddenly became nervous when they heard what the chief said.

He quickly waved his hands and explained: "Chief, please don't misunderstand! We water the plants strictly according to the requirements every day, from early morning to morning, and we dare not delay for a moment. Moreover, we really didn't water them a drop more, and we dared not be lazy in the slightest!" As he said that, he patted his chest to assure that what he said was true.

"Yes, yes." Several other orcs echoed.

Wu Li looked at the leaves of this plant and felt that they looked familiar, as if he had seen them in a book before. He said, "Dig one out for me to see."

After hearing this, the patriarch didn't need anyone else's help. He just flashed and instantly arrived next to the land.

Then, he waved his arm, and his normal palm instantly turned into a beast claw as sharp as a knife!

Only a few "swish" sounds were heard, and the beast's claws flew in the soil as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, it had dug out something buried deep in the ground.

Wu Li, who was standing aside, was shocked when he saw the patriarch's swift movements and magical changes.

However, she quickly composed herself and regained her usual calm demeanor.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the thing that had just been dug out in the patriarch's hand.

Wu Li's gaze was on the big, furry, round paw, which looked quite cute.

Wu Li stared at the large claw for a long time, thinking to himself, "So this is what a tiger's claw looks like. Why is it a different color from Rui's?"

At this moment, she suddenly seemed to have thought of something. Her eyes lit up when she looked at what the patriarch had dug out. Then she shook her head and said, "I thought it was something rare, but it turns out it's just our common sweet potato!"

As she spoke, she walked forward and observed it carefully.

Looking at the sweet potato in front of her, she couldn't help but frown and said, "Look at how much water has been poured around it! If it continues like this, it will be drowned! It's no wonder it looks like this!"

"Ah?" The orcs around were stunned when they heard it.

Wu Li continued, "But it's not too late to remedy the situation. There are some tricks to growing sweet potatoes. You don't need to water them for so long in the future, just control the amount. They'll grow well without much care. Also, look at the surrounding leaves. If any sweet potatoes don't look like the main leaf in the middle, dig them out."

The orcs looked puzzled, and the chief asked, "Why?"

Wu Li patiently explained, "These sweet potatoes are likely to have mutated or become diseased. If left in the soil, they will affect the growth of other healthy sweet potatoes."

After hearing this, the tribesmen suddenly realized and took action immediately.

Wu Li provided guidance from the side, occasionally demonstrating personally how to dig carefully to avoid damaging the good sweet potatoes.

After a busy period, all the suspicious sweet potatoes were cleared out.

"Is this the only kind you grow?" Wu Li asked after washing his hands.

"No, there are others." The patriarch said as he guided Wu Li to walk to the side.

Good guy!

Isn't this corn?

And why is he so tall? Did he mutate?

"This is growing pretty well!" Wu Li said with a smile. Not bad, not bad at all.

"Uh..." The patriarch's embarrassed expression made Wu Li feel that something was fishy.

"This one has just been transplanted here. The one I planted before died within a few days." The patriarch couldn't help feeling a little depressed when he said this.

Originally, they had beautiful aspirations in their hearts and planned to cultivate a piece of fertile land to grow some crops.

In this way, when the cold winter comes, the old and weak orcs, the delicate and fragile females and the innocent cubs will have an extra portion of precious food and no longer have to worry about food shortages.

However, reality dealt them a heavy blow. Despite their countless hard work and efforts, they could not succeed no matter how hard they tried.

Every time we sow seeds with hope, expecting them to thrive, we can only watch the seedlings gradually wither and die due to harsh environments or attacks by pests and diseases.

This makes them feel extremely frustrated and lost, as if all their efforts have been wasted.

Upon hearing this, Wu Li looked at the new soil under each corn stalk and found that they had indeed been planted only a few days ago.

"So, you dug up a whole plant and planted it here?" Wu Li said uncertainly.

"correct."

Wu Li looked at the group of orcs beside him with wisdom in their eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Look, this amazing thing is called corn! It doesn't just grow anywhere."

"Normally, we use the golden, round, plump corn kernels inside as seeds to plant in the ground. If we just move the whole corn plant here like we are doing now, it will be very difficult for it to survive!"

"But some of us survived before, and they farmed for a long time before they died." Before Wu Li finished speaking, one of the orcs said hurriedly.

"That's the second situation I mentioned. Even if it's lucky enough to barely survive, it will gradually age and turn yellow over time, and eventually lose its vitality. So, if we want to successfully grow more delicious corn, we have to follow the correct method!"

Wu Li didn't mind being interrupted. She knew that some things had to be figured out slowly. Only if she led them to successful planting could she convince the other party with facts.

"Okay, let's replant the sweet potato field today and harvest the corn tomorrow." Wu Li took people to turn over all the sweet potatoes they had planted and replant them.

The previous location had been watered too wet, so we had to move to another location.

Soon, looking at the newly-tended sweet potato field, the clan leader said gratefully, "Thanks to you, otherwise we wouldn't know how much harvest we would have lost."

Wu Li smiled and responded: "It's nothing. I hope the sweet potatoes will thrive in the future."

Looking at the pest-infested sweet potato leaves that had been cleared, Wu Li asked someone to deal with them all to avoid affecting other healthy crops.
