Chapter 129, Chicks Hatching
Teleportation command?
Lin Yue also became interested. Being able to teleport directly to a floating island in the air was indeed a good thing. Although she didn't have to rack her brains to improve her platform rating like other players, no one would complain about having more opportunities to acquire more resources.
Unfortunately, all the airdrops I saved up have already been opened today. Now, if I want to open a teleportation token, I can only wait until the airdrop at 8 a.m. tomorrow and try my luck again.
Just as Lin Yue was feeling a pang of regret, a series of cheerful footsteps came from behind her. Turning around, she saw Bai Shuang bouncing around excitedly: "Sister, sister, sister, the food has hatched!"
Food? What?
Lin Yue was momentarily confused, a puzzled look on her face. Seeing that Lin Yue didn't understand, Bai Shuang frantically tried to push her aside, gesturing wildly: "Sister, fluffy, fluffy food has hatched!"
Furry? Hatching?
A sudden thought flashed through Lin Yue's mind, and she realized, "Oh right, today is the fifth day that those eggs have been hatching!"
Lin Yue immediately perked up.
Previously, the eggs were always provided by Han Weiyi. Now that she has her own chickens, it will be much more convenient for her to eat both eggs and chicken.
Lin Yue immediately followed Bai Shuang to the incubation room that had been built. Before they even reached the door of the incubation room, they could faintly hear a soft and delicate "chirp chirp chirp" sound.
Pushing open the door, you see little yellow pom-poms jostling on the floor, seemingly unsteady on their feet, their tiny bodies swaying slightly as they huddle together.
Lin Yue happily bent down and counted them. There were seven little yellow chicks in total, but she couldn't tell whether they were male or female.
Lin Yue tilted her head and thought for a moment, then reached out and picked up the chicks one by one from the incubator, placing them on the floor next to the fence that had been prepared beforehand.
Lin Yue had laid a thin layer of grass on the floor. She had plucked this grass from the lawn in the Plants vs. Zombies game. Perhaps because it had been away from the soil for a while, the grass looked somewhat dry, but it was still quite soft.
Lin Yue had fed chickens with her grandparents when she was little, so she remembered that chicks could eat rice. However, she had used up all her rice when she made desserts for Jin Xuan, and the rice that the little mouse found was not yet fully ripe and would not be ready for harvest for some time.
Lin Yue used to simply cook a packet of instant noodles as her main meal, but now, for the sake of the chickens, she had to find a way to collect some rice first.
Her first thought was to try and buy it on the public chat, but remembering the commotion caused by buying timber before, Lin Yue frowned. "Never mind, I'll ask in the private group first!"
It was rare for Lin Yue to ask for anything, so everyone was very enthusiastic. Before long, she received quite a few gifts from other people.
Zhou Zeyang and Xu Tiantian each sent a full bag of rice. Zhao Lei didn't have any rice, but he sent Lin Yue some corn, saying that he remembered his mother saying that chicks could also eat corn porridge.
Han Weiyi was even more generous, sending over plenty of things, including rice and millet, and excitedly saying she wanted the chicks to try different flavors.
Even Liang Dong, upon hearing that Lin Yue was looking for food for the chicks, temporarily stopped his craft work, ran to the sandpit, caught some sandworms, crushed them, and brought them to Lin Yue.
He also solemnly told Lin Yue that his wife had told him that chickens shouldn't just eat rice; they also need to eat some insects to make them more nutritious.
That sandpit was intentionally left when he built the platform's wooden floor; there was a section in the middle without any planks. He thought the sand was soft and might allow him to dig all the way down, perhaps even reaching the surface. Therefore, even when building the platform, he deliberately left an opening.
After digging several times, Liang Dong discovered that not only did the sand automatically fill in, but sand worms also emerged from it. These sand worms crawled extremely fast in the sand, looking rather disgusting.
Liang Dong was unlucky; he rarely got food from airdrops and had to trade building materials with Lin Yue. But sometimes the building materials were quite ordinary, and he felt bad taking Lin Yue's things for free, so he simply collected the sandworms that the system determined were non-toxic and used them as food.
Lin Yue was quite happy to receive so much food for the chicks so quickly. Since everyone insisted that he exchange it for something else, Lin Yue simply thanked them and went to cook for the chicks.
She cooked the rice until it was half-cooked, then rinsed it several times with water to remove the stickiness, and then mixed it with sandworm powder to feed the chicks.
After busying themselves for a while, watching all the chicks eat with relish, Lin Yue and Bai Shuang went back to their bedroom to sleep, looking like they hadn't had enough.
At 8 a.m. the next morning, the short sellers arrived precisely on time, landing all on Lin Yue's expanded platform.
Lin Yue had already eaten breakfast early and rubbed her hands together expectantly, ready to open the box.
[The wooden crate has been opened, containing 1 black tea, 1 white tea, and 1 green tea.]
[The wooden crate has been opened, containing 3 instant coffees and 3 sugar cubes.]
[The wooden crate has been opened, and you have obtained 6 servings of AD Calcium Milk and 6 servings of Instant Milk Tea.]
[The wooden crate is opened...]
Huh? Is today a beverage special?
Why are all the bottles they've opened for drinks?
Lin Yue, still somewhat unwilling to give up, rubbed Bai Shuang's fur again, and then—opened a bottle of soy sauce-flavored baijiu.
Lin Yue: "..."
One box after another was opened, and Lin Yue's mood rose and fell with each opening. Unfortunately, even after opening the last box, Lin Yue failed to obtain the teleportation token she longed for, and a sense of disappointment welled up in her heart.
However, luck is a fickle thing sometimes. Lin Yue first packed all the drinks she had opened that day into a box, intending to put them in the warehouse. But then she remembered that she had quite a few slots in her wristband backpack, so she simply put them in her backpack first.
With nothing to do, Lin Yue habitually opened the Plants vs. Zombies game, wondering if she should just go for it and clear the last small level of the lawn. But looking at the thriving plants, Lin Yue temporarily suppressed that thought.
She remembered that the second major level in Plants vs. Zombies was the nighttime level, where the environment was completely different from the daytime. She wasn't sure if these plants could continue to grow well at night. It would be such a pity if they were affected or even withered and died.
After much deliberation, Lin Yue decided against taking the risk. Her current plant encyclopedia was sufficient anyway! She'd deal with it when Little Lin Yue couldn't resist automatically pushing new levels for her again.
