The pampered life of a woman in the beast world's paradise

In this forest where moisture and light interweave, mushrooms emerge quietly like bamboo shoots after rain. They gather or scatter, dotted beside the trails covered with fallen leaves, in the cracks surrounded by tree roots, and even on the rocks covered with moss, adding a bit of mystery and fantasy to the forest.

They are in various shapes and colors. Some are as white as snow, like a newly blossomed lotus, pure and elegant; some are red, orange, yellow and green, colorful, like the most exquisite palette in nature, exuding an attractive luster. Some are round, plump or with umbrellas stretched out, and some are hung with crystal raindrops, glittering in the light, like gems inlaid on green brocade, beautiful beyond words.

As I watched, I seemed to see all kinds of fried mushrooms, deep-fried mushrooms, mushroom soups... Each one was so fresh, fragrant and delicious...

"Anbao, why are you drooling over a circle of plants so early in the morning!" Bai Yu tried to wipe her saliva with a teasing tone.

Xu Anan, who was awakened, blushed and quickly wiped the corners of his mouth with his hands. But there was nothing.

She glared at Bai Yu angrily, "Where is the saliva? You big tiger actually learned to lie."

Bai Yu's hand was knocked down by her halfway. He explained helplessly, "An Bao's state just now was exactly the same as when he was drooling with greed. I subconsciously admitted my mistake. I almost helped you wipe your saliva just now!"

Xu Anan thought about his actions and expressions just now, and it seemed to be true. However, she didn't want to admit that she was really tempted by the mushrooms, so she had to ignore Bai Yu for the time being.

A certain big tiger originally just wanted to tease her, and seeing that his goal had been achieved, he didn't care about the flirtatious glances she threw at him.

Xu Anan: I was glaring! I was glaring at you! How could you think that was a wink? Humph!

Bai Yu: The best eyesight beyond 5.2!

After everything was stored in the space, Zi Mei withdrew her earth-related abilities, and the stone house that had sheltered them from the wind and rain for the entire night just disappeared into the air, as if it had never appeared. Except for a circle of weeds that were pressed to the ground in the open space, telling the story of what had happened here.

Xu Anan pulled Bai Yu and Zi Mei and took out three golden metal baskets from the space.

As for the origin of this metal basket, ahem, it was condensed by the Beast King himself using his gold ability! Because Xu Anan and the others had never encountered bamboo, there were no backpacks or baskets. The vines always felt a little off.

So when Erosion used its beast soul ability to exchange for food making methods, she specifically asked for some gadgets.

For example, the metal basket at this time. Xu Anan had a very good idea. This one-piece, high-tech gold basket without any welds, no matter how pure it is, with this craftsmanship, which civilized society would not be valuable?

In the beast world, it can be used to store small items, and in other worlds, it can be exchanged for a lot of money. When she knew that she might break through the void and go to other worlds in the future, how could she dislike having too much stuff like gold!

So she felt that she had made a fortune in the last transaction. If there was another chance, she would be willing to exchange the food recipe for a lot of gold high-tech products.

"Each of us has a basket. If we see any umbrellas around us, we can pick them. Big bro, use your wood ability to sense which ones are non-toxic and mark the poisonous ones. Zi Mei and I will be responsible for picking the non-toxic ones."

She gave Baiyu and Zimei a metal basket each.

Zi Mei asked in confusion, "What can these umbrella covers be used for?"

"What? Eat. What else can I do? They are all mushrooms, fresh, tender and delicious!"

"Mushrooms? Are you saying these are the mushrooms mentioned in the book? How come I haven't seen any in the Poison Mist Forest?"

"You ask me? Who should I ask? It may be due to the specific climate or environment."

The two asked a few questions in a nonsensical manner, but no one knew why these mushrooms only grew after rain in the Poison Mist Forest.

Bai Yu had already used a small tattoo to carve a special bone pattern on each of the poisonous mushrooms.

What surprised Xu Anan was that although most brightly colored mushrooms were poisonous, there were always one or two exceptions, such as a pink palm-sized mushroom and a purple coin-sized mushroom.

Both of these mushrooms are very beautiful in color and appearance, but they are non-toxic.

She also picked more of these two mushrooms because they were so beautiful.

Xu Anan's family of three all started picking mushrooms. After collecting a basket, they each put the mushrooms in their own space and then continued picking.

However, this heartwarming scene of labor was seen by a pair of eyes in the distance.

Perhaps because they were afraid that Bai Yu would notice, the owner of those eyes was a little far away from them. They could only see the family chatting and laughing while collecting the umbrella-capped plants that grew after the rain, and they did not notice that the mushrooms in the metal basket disappeared every time they were almost full.

To be honest, this rain made mushrooms appear everywhere in the forest, and their family couldn't pick them all.

The physiological characteristics of mushrooms determine that their picking cycle is very short. If they are not picked in time, the cap will gradually open and form an umbrella-like shape, which will affect the quality of the mushrooms. If the time is too long, the mushrooms will gradually wither and disappear. Therefore, the picking time should be determined according to the growth status and quality of the mushrooms. Generally, they are picked after the cap is fully opened.

When they got up early in the morning, the caps of the mushrooms around them had almost all begun to open or had just fully opened.

For Xu Anan, who has experienced the end of the world, she has a special hobby of collecting food and a principle of not wasting it.

So at noon, when Zi Mei was preparing to make lunch first and then continue picking mushrooms after eating, Xu Anan immediately jumped out to object.

"No. If we don't pick all the mushrooms quickly, they will wither and disappear someday. So we can't stop. We have to pick as many as we can."

The two beastly husbands knew that this was an outburst of her food-collecting attribute, and they did not dare to argue with her, otherwise they would definitely be given a lesson in ideology by her.

He just agreed, "Okay, okay! Let's continue picking without resting, absolutely not resting! But if Anbao is hungry, just eat some fruit or snacks to fill our stomachs. This way we can pick with peace of mind, right?"

Xu Anan was very satisfied with the answer and nodded to indicate her agreement, but her movements were not slow at all.

It was not until dusk, when the mushrooms began to wither and disappear, that the family's picking efforts gradually slowed down.

On Blue Star, mushrooms usually take 6-7 days to grow and wither. I didn't expect that mushrooms in the Beast World would only take less than a day!
