Tong Aotian was silent for a long time before giving an answer, "The forum has just started a tutorial class to teach Tongzi how to upgrade and how to deal with the host. I have attended the class for a week, so I will naturally make progress."

Zhu Yuanyuan didn't expect that what she said casually would be right. She was so shocked that she didn't know what to say. After a long time, she bargained dryly, "It's too expensive. Can you make it cheaper? I can give you 200 star coins."

"No, scanning the mountain requires 10 energy points. If the fee is lower, we will lose money." Tong Aotian hesitated. Humans like to bargain for everything they buy. If the price is not reduced, the negotiation will easily fail. So he gave in and said, "At least 1998 star coins."

The price dropped by 2 star coins, which is really touching.

"250 star coins, no more," Zhu Yuanyuan subconsciously covered her pocket, but soon realized that the star coins were all in the virtual bank, and hurriedly shouted, "Tongzi, what do you think?"

"I don't think it's a big deal," Tong Aotian roared angrily, "How can you bargain like this? From two thousand to two hundred and fifty, how can this be called bargaining? This is a bargaining!"

Zhu Yuanyuan said faintly, "Tongzi, you are so capable. You think you can take charge after just a few classes. You even dare to yell at me. Do you believe I will put you in solitary confinement?"

Tong Aotian, "..." It specially learned the '99 ways to deal with the host', and thought it could get back at him, but why doesn't it work?

The teacher must have taught me something wrong!

"How about it," Zhu Yuanyuan pressed on, "Would you do it for 250 star coins?"

If that doesn't work, increase it by 50 star coins.

Making money is not easy, so she can't be too generous, lest she fosters Datongzi's ambitions.

"Deal!" Tong Aotian, "Start scanning mode, scanning in progress, host, please wait patiently, 1%, 2% has been scanned..."

No matter how small a mosquito leg is, it's still meat. As long as you don't lose money, you can do it.

"How inefficient," Zhu Yuanyuan muttered, "I'd better walk around and see if there's anything useful."

Since I have nothing to do anyway, I might as well dig some wild vegetables.

By the way, we can’t trouble mother to take care of the vegetable garden at home anymore. She and father would be sad if she became too tired.

You don't know until you dig. You will be surprised to see that there are so many tender wild vegetables here. She squatted and dug half a basket without moving. The progress was only 35%, which was very slow.

Zhu Yuanyuan was a little worried. If the update reached 100%, would it be dark?

As expected, I left in too haste. It would be better to come tomorrow morning. I must not do such things in a hurry in the future.

Fortunately, the situation she worried about did not happen. After the progress bar exceeded 50%, the speed suddenly increased, almost increasing by 1 point per second, and it was completed in less than two minutes.

"Host," Tong Aotian reported in a serious tone, "We have scanned the situation on this mountain. There are abundant medicinal herbs and mountain products on the mountain. There are also traces of rabbits and pheasants, but not in large numbers. There are no ferocious beasts..."

Zhu Yuanyuan was surprised. "No way. How could there be only a few rabbits and pheasants without any ferocious beasts? Their reproductive capacity is amazing."

"Host, please listen to me," Tong Aotian said coldly.

"Oh," Zhu Yuanyuan quickly shut up.

Tong Aotian finally revealed the key point, "There is a snake cave halfway up the mountain, and there are thousands of snakes of all sizes in it.

"What did you say?" Zhu Yuanyuan screamed, "So many snakes, is this true?"

"Really," Tong Aotian answered concisely.

Zhu Yuanyuan turned around and ran. Why go up the mountain? She wanted to go home quickly. With so many cold-blooded animals gathered together, wouldn’t she be so scared that her legs would go weak and she would fall into the snake cave?

It turns out there's a reason why no one went.

"Host, there are ginseng and ganoderma lucidum that you want on the mountain~" Tong Aotian's tone was full of temptation, "You really don't want it?"

"I don't need those things, so I don't want them," Zhu Yuanyuan answered without hesitation.

"But the flow rate of space is normal, and the ginseng grown is not old enough," Tong Aotian said, and gave advice, "The host has space, so he is not afraid of danger. If he is careful, there will be no problem."

Zhu Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment, then shook her head decisively, "Forget it, I can buy it with star coins."

"But you sold it before to earn star coins, and now you spend money to buy it again. Isn't that inappropriate?" Tong Aotian asked.

He was just short of pointing at the host's nose and scolding him, "Are you stupid?"

"Between my life and ginseng, I choose to live well," Zhu Yuanyuan said firmly.

There are so many snakes in the snake cave that they will eventually come out to look for food. They are probably everywhere on the mountain. Even if she has great strength and antidotes, she will not take the risk.

The black-necked snake we encountered earlier might have crawled out of a snake cave.

Thinking of this, she ran faster.

Tong Aotian reminded, "If we don't control it, there will be more and more snakes on that mountain. What will we do if there is not enough food?"

Zhu Yuanyuan would answer this question, "Of course it is external development."

"It's good that the host knows," Tong Aotian was very pleased, "So..."

"So I have to go back to find the leader and mobilize everyone to kill the snakes together," said Zhu Yuanyuan.

Tong Aotian: "..." Quite smart.

Zhu Yuanyuan ran back without stopping, and only slowed down after climbing over two mountains. When her breath subsided a little, she asked, "Did you deliberately trick me into going into the mountains to die?"

"How could it be possible?" Tong Aotian denied, "Tongzi and the host are one. If the host does not die of old age, the system will also perish."

"Then what do you mean by encouraging me to go up the mountain to collect ginseng even though you knew there was a snake cave?" Zhu Yuanyuan went straight to the point.

"No," Tong Aotian said evasively, "I heard you say you wanted to pick a hundred-year-old ginseng. There happens to be some on the mountain. It's not dangerous for you to go up. Besides, you can decide whether to go or not. I'm just a system assistant and can't interfere."

"Yes, you can't interfere, not that you don't want to interfere," Zhu Yuanyuan felt more and more suspicious.

But, as Tongzi said, they were tied to the same rope, and if anything happened to her, Tongzi would have no chance of escaping.

She felt that she had overlooked some key point.

Forget it. If you can’t figure it out, just think about it for now. Let’s go back to the tribe first. If Tongzi has bad intentions, he will be exposed one day. Why bother yourself with trouble?

Having made up her mind, Zhu Yuanyuan asked Xiaoyi to dig a few ginsengs that were 20 to 30 years old from the space field, and take a few mature Ganoderma lucidum, and give them to the master when they return, as the harvest of this trip.

Tong Aotian didn't understand, "Didn't the Great Witch want a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng? Why did he give out one with such a short age?"

Just now you said if you can’t dig it up, go buy it. What a liar!

"I also want the thousand-year-old ginseng," Zhu Yuanyuan rolled her eyes, "There is a big gap between dreams and reality."

Hundred-year-old ginseng is not a wild vegetable on the roadside that can be picked whenever you want. It is not easy for her to find a 20- or 30-year-old wild ginseng after spending an entire afternoon out. If she really brings back the dream ginseng that her master wants, she is afraid that many people will ask her which mountain she picked it from.

They are all from the same tribe, and she doesn't rely on collecting ginseng to exchange for things. What should she say if someone comes to her for help?

Can we say that it was from the mountain where thousands of snakes were entwined?
