Taming Beasts To Survive: I Can See The Prompts Chapter 12
Advertisement
Mcgee opened the community. At this time, in addition to apples, some of the listings were meat products.
But almost all of the trading items were fish and even dead fish meat!
Fresh fish x 1
Price: Wood x 5, or Stone x 5.
Stranded dead fish x 1
Price: Wood x 2, or Stone x 2.
But Mcgee had no shortage of food, so he was not very interested in these things.
Looking at other things in the community, they were all a mess and not very useful.
Because of the uncertainties now, Mcgee was looking for a crop that had a high survival rate, was easy to manage, and had a short growth cycle, and the yield had to be as high as possible.
At this moment, Mcgee finally saw a seed.
Wild rice seed × 1
[Poor quality rice seeds that have not been selected and bred. The yield is not high. Planting requires water near the farm.]
After Mcgee finished reading the detailed information on the rice, he shook his head helplessly.
There would not be enough yield of wild rice if he bought this, and harvesting it would be troublesome. Moreover, Mcgee could not waste a lot of time shelling the rice to make it edible.
Mcgee was a little disappointed and turned a few pages. At this time, Mcgee suddenly found that someone was selling sweet potato vines!
Sweet potato vines x 100
Price: Meat x 5, or Wood x 25.
Description: I found this thing in the wild grass. Pay attention! This thing cannot be eaten! The sweet potatoes can be eaten, but the leaves will give you diarrhea and nausea! Once sold, they are not refundable!
After Mcgee saw it, he immediately traded it for five portions of mutton and bought the vines of these sweet potatoes.
"System Notification: Successfully purchased sweet potato vines x 100, deducted mutton x 5."
After Mcgee saw that he had successfully bought them, his confidence in the following grain cultivation increased greatly.

"This person suffered a loss without common sense!"
Mcgee sighed.
Most of the sweet potatoes were not grown with their roots.
That was because the price was too high.
Most of the sweet potatoes were grown with their vines.
Moreover, sweet potatoes were expensive in large quantities.
Apart from being used as seeds, the vines could also be used to feed livestock.
Mcgee could not wait to take out the sweet potato vines from his inventory to examine them carefully.
Then he divided the sweet potato vines into small segments.
After about half an hour, Mcgee finished sorting them all.
Next was planting.
The planting of sweet potatoes was very simple, as long as one end of the vines was stuffed into the soil.
The sweet potato vines were very tenacious. As long as it was not a continuous drought, it could basically survive.
The soil of the newly-opened farmland was very soft.
Mcgee found a stick and gently inserted it into the soil, making a small hole.
Then, he stuffed the sweet potato vines into the soil and compacted the soil, and it was considered a success.
Although the work was straightforward.
But it had to be done with a bent back. So when Mcgee planted all the sweet potatoes on the 20 square meters of land, Mcgee's back was basically no longer straight.
Looking at some of the unused sweet potato leaves, Mcgee thought it would be good to have livestock not to be wasted.
Speaking of which, Mcgee suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen a lucky person selling piglets just now!
Mcgee opened the community and looked up. Sure enough, he saw someone selling a litter of piglets.
Charging piglets x 10.
Price: Any meat x 50.
Description: I stole these piglets one by one when the charging pigs were not paying attention. No bargaining!
They could eat grass, but they were very restless and had a little bit of attack power. Killing them now would not yield any meat!

To not attract the charging piglets' mother, I have been keeping them in my thatched house for the past few days. As a result, my home has become a pigsty. It stinks terribly, and it snores at night!
After reading the introduction, Mcgee still did not waver in his decision to buy them.
Hence, he quickly placed an order and bought them.
"System Notification: You have successfully purchased charging piglet x 10. Deducting meat x 50."
After Mcgee's purchase, there were only about 300 pieces of meat left in the inventory.
While he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a series of howls from his wooden house.
Mcgee quickly ran back to the wooden house to take a look.
Inside the wooden house, ten gray piglets were rampaging inside. The entire wooden house was in a mess.
Mcgee had a helpless look on his face. He had forgotten that living things could not be stored in the inventory.
"It seems that I can only continue to solve the problem of the pigsty now."
However, Mcgee did not have the blueprints for the pigsty.
However, after looking at the stones and wood in the inventory, Mcgee suddenly had an idea.
He saw Mcgee come to the other side of the wooden house. There were few trees here, and his field of vision was relatively wide.
After walking around, Mcgee chose three trees that were close to each other and then began to work.
Mcgee took out three pieces of wood and placed them in the middle of the tree trunks.
Then he found some vines in the bushes and tied the wood between the trunks.
Such a simple triangular pigsty was formed.
Mcgee took out some stone and built a stone wall along with the wood to make the pigsty stronger.
After working for half a day, Mcgee looked at his masterpiece and said with satisfaction, "It looks pretty good!"
After saying that, Mcgee ran back to the wooden house.
He carried the piglets into the pigsty one by one.
The ear-piercing sound of pigs being slaughtered rose and fell.
At this time, it was already evening.
On the mountain in the west, the red sun was slowly falling.
Mcgee leaned against the pigsty and looked at the piglets inside. He looked satisfied as he munched on the sweet potato leaves.
In the distant farmland, the newly planted sweet potatoes were swaying gently in the evening wind.
Mcgee was already fantasizing about his leisurely life in the future.
The sweet potato leaves and small sweet potatoes would be used as feed for the piglets in the future.
After the piglets ate the feed, their feces could be used as manure and transferred to the farmland again.
This was like a perpetual motion machine!
When he came back to his senses, Mcgee waved to the little Spirit Fox playing with the butterflies in the distance.
The little Spirit Fox immediately ran over with a skip.
Mcgee looked at the little Spirit Fox's condition and said to it, "Go there and release your skill, the power of nature!"
After the little Spirit Fox heard this, it immediately ran all the way to the edge of the farm.
Then, its emerald green tail began to sway gently.
A gentle breeze blew past, and a drizzle immediately began to fall around the little Spirit Fox.
Because the farm was not too far away from the pigsty, Mcgee was also enveloped in it.
The drizzle that kept falling carried a sweet taste and moistened the earth.
The sweet potatoes, which had been wilted by the sun, suddenly became tall and full of energy.
Some of the sweet potato vines even sprouted new shoots.
The little piglets did not howl. Instead, they gathered together and lay on the ground quietly as if they had fallen asleep.
This was a peace that belonged only to Mcgee.
So far, only Mcgee had begun this completely self-sufficient life.

8 186Saga of the Space Marines
HARVEST! BUILD! DESTROY! Total war until annihilation. This is the story of the end of the human race. If it sounds like fun it’s because it is. The Saga relates the events and personal histories of the men of the 3rd Marine Space Expeditionary Force and their bitter MAXWAR (mutually assured eXtinction war) against the alien Krag Subjugation. Told from the view point of the warfighters on the front lines, the blue collar workers who build and maintain the infrastructure that supports them, and the scientists and engineers who develop the technologies that power their victories on the battlefield. This mission, The Maggot Colony, relates the first part of the adventure, where their capital ship, The Good Shepherd, is critically damaged, and a small force is sent to establish an outpost on the surface of a nearby planet to secure much needed emergency supplies and fuel. The situation is desperate, the fighting is brutal and the technical challenges both in space and on the planet surface seem insurmountable. Fans who enjoy the intellectual challenges and intricate storylines from real-time-strategy games such as Starcraft II or the pure destructive awesomeness of first person shooters such as Doom, Halo and Gears of War are encouraged to check out the Space Marines. It’s not for everyone, but it might be just what you are looking for. Best of luck in choosing your next read, and if you don’t pick the Saga of the Space Marines today please consider us next time because reading great stories is time well spent.
