The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead

Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Waste Materials

Nian Shutong watched indifferently as someone and something fell to the ground, completely unconcerned. She even turned her head back and continued to cook corn.

She gazed at the corn pot in front of her, thinking that although it was tasty, she couldn’t keep eating the same thing.

It looked like it was time to diversify.

“Little Eight, do you have any other seeds?” she asked.

“Beep! Dear host, I am here. You have successfully unlocked green peppers, eggplants, and corn—three crops that are all edible.”

“Looking to starve, huh?”

“Beep! If the master wishes to have food that fills the stomach, you can plant rice and wheat. Here are the images of these two plants when they are ready to eat, which you can check out.”

Nian Shutong casually poked at the flames under the large pot, while actually looking at the images provided by the system.

They all looked pretty good. Nian Shutong asked again, “How do I plant them?”

“Hello, master. You need to complete the potato planting task before you can plant the next crop.”

“The price of rice seeds is three hundred Star Coins per half kilogram, and wheat seeds are also three hundred Star Coins per half kilogram.”

Three hundred?

Nian Shutong didn’t ask any further; she had no money.

Corn tasted quite good anyway.

Nian Shutong checked the corn consumption guide again; maybe it was time to try eating it in a different way.

After it was ripe, it could be crushed and cooked like rice, or made into flour for pancakes and steamed buns and the like.

However, it would take some time before it was ready, and after a while, boiled corn wouldn’t be edible anymore.

Damn it! They were going to run out of food!

“Can we eat now?” Fu Yunhe, at some point, had finally swayed over to Nian Shutong’s side.

Nian Shutong glanced at him and then at Rubble, who was far from the fire. It hurt even more to think about feeding two extra mouths.

“Eat yourself,” Nian Shutong said, putting down the stick for stoking the fire and walking over to Rubble to ask, “Do you need to eat?”

Rubble lifted his large skeletal head and said, “Rubble evolves by consuming various metals, and after evolving I can eat other foods, but I do not feel hungry if I don’t eat.”

“Good!” Nian Shutong nodded in satisfaction, saving food. Then she continued to ask, “What do you need to make robots?”

“Metal materials, light panels, circuits, aluminum wire…” Rubble’s ten metal fingers lifted one by one, listing a whole pile of things.

Fu Yunhe, who was cooling his corn nearby, slowly moved over and said, “We can buy scrap materials; they’re very cheap.”

See, he understood Nian Shutong so well.

Nian Shutong simply asked Rubble, “Would that work?”

“Yes, Rubble is very powerful.” @@novelbin@@

“You’d better be,” Nian Shutong said as she opened her Light Computer and, with Fu Yunhe’s help, purchased a bunch of scrap materials for just two hundred Star Coins.

After buying them, she tucked the cooked corn away and continued her efforts to clear the land.

In front of the small wooden house, only Fu Yunhe and Rubble were left.

Fu Yunhe nibbled on the corn bit by bit, while Rubble was enlightening him about fire safety.

“It’s best not to use an open flame outdoors; it’s very dangerous. It can cause fires, and the personal injuries caused by fires…”

“Why didn’t you tell Nian Shutong?” Fu Yunhe asked Rubble, sitting casually to the side.

Rubble inquisitively asked, “Who is Nian Shutong?”

“The woman you followed back here,” Fu Yunhe pointed in the direction where Nian Shutong had left.

Rubble nodded in understanding and said, “Oh, the lady who saved me, the one who’s a bit ugly.”

Fu Yunhe looked at Rubble with interest and made a remark that was no different from what Nian Shutong might have said.

“You better pray you can really become a robot.”

Such unaware sarcasm might get him killed even faster than Fu Yunhe.
