I'm speechless! You want me to drive a baby stroller on the highway to survive?

Chapter 273 Bamboo Forest Saintess

On the way to the Monster Convention, neither Lu Youyou nor Xiao Cui chatted.

If Xiao Cui hadn't offered to give directions, she wouldn't have said a word; she would have just been stroking the stone heart back and forth.

Silent all the way.

Upon arrival at the Monster Convention, the navigation system automatically braked.

Lu Youyou looked towards the roadside and saw a towering building that seemed to pierce the clouds, its number of floors impossible to discern.

There were only two robots, each about three meters tall, guarding the main entrance, one black and one white.

"Sister, come inside with me."

"it is good."

Lu Youyou was worried about leaving the car outside, so she used a vehicle shrinking bubble to shrink the car and carry it with her.

"Halt. You need to scan your identity to enter the Monster Building."

The white robot opened its mouth, and its two arms transformed into dark gun holes, one aimed at Lu Youyou and the other at Xiao Cui.

It was as if to say that anyone who dared to force their way in would be riddled with bullets.

"How do I sweep?" Xiao Cui asked.

The black robot clattered forward, its eyes emitting pale yellow light, gradually merging with Xiao Cui's figure.

Drop drop-

Identity information appeared above the light screen.

Name: Xiao Cui

[Dominant Genes: Bamboo, Bear]

[Battle Record: Killed the notorious Stone King]

"Xiao Cui, you can go in."

The black robot opened its mouth, and the white robot lowered the gun aimed at Xiao Cui.

"Do you want to come in?" the black robot asked leisurely.

Lu Youyou nodded.

The light screen moved to Lu Youyou's side, and Xiao Cui's information changed to hers.

Name: Lu Youyou

[Dominant Gene: Humans]

[Status: Accepted Xiao Cui's quest; accompany her to complete her job application.]

"You can come in too."

After hearing this, the white robot lowered the gun it had been pointing at Lu Youyou.

Lu Youyou followed behind Xiao Cui and asked softly, "Which way do we go next?"

Xiao Cui was also confused: "I don't know, my mother just took me outside to look around, we couldn't come in at the time."

However, the two were not confused for long, and soon a robot came to greet them.

This robot was noticeably smaller than the two guards, standing only about 1.6 meters tall. It had no facial features, and its face was topped with a tablet-sized electronic screen.

The emoticon "^_^" appears above and is used as an expression.

After confirming its identity, it spoke in a measured and methodical manner.

"Xiao Cui, Lu Youyou, hello, please come with me."

They followed the little robot to a closed room, which contained nothing but a huge screen.

"Xiao Cui, can you read?" the robot asked.

Xiao Cui nodded: "My mother taught me."

"Okay, in a moment your available careers and their requirements will be scrolling across the screen. Please watch carefully, as once you make a selection, you cannot change it."

"it is good."

After Xiao Cui nodded, the screen lit up, and one profession after another began to scroll.

[The Tomb Keeper: A loyal guardian who sacrificed their life to protect the master, possessing the ability to automatically refine soul pills.]

[Scavenger: A scavenger who finds trash and turns it into treasure throughout the survival world.]

Challenger: A survivor who challenges humans in a survival world, possessing the ability to reduce pain.

【…】

Various professions appear and disappear, making even Lu Youyou extremely envious, but Xiao Cui remained indifferent.

Hello, are there any professions related to bamboo cultivation?

Xiao Cui turned her head and looked at the robot.

"Hello, please wait a moment while I check for you."

The robot extends its arm and connects to the screen, where relevant professions appear.

[Grower: Cultivate crops for survival in this world. The types of crops can be selected, and the ability to nurture life is rewarded.]

Xiao Cui's calm demeanor turned excited, "I choose this one!"

Following the procedure, the robot repeatedly asked, "Please repeat yourself to confirm your final choice."

Xiao Cui declared loudly and firmly, "I choose to be a grower! I want to plant bamboo, I want to plant bamboo all over the world, to provide everyone with the most delicious fresh bamboo shoots."

The little robot's black screen displayed a smiling face with the characters "(*^▽^*)".

"Identity successfully bound. Please choose a name for yourself when you are out in the public eye. You can also use your real name."

Xiao Cui blurted out the name her parents had called her a thousand times: "I want to be called the Bamboo Forest Saintess."

"Okay," the little robot beeped a few times.

The next second, Xiao Cui emitted a strong green light.

"Absorb them, and they will become your special soul power, which can be used to nourish various plants. After you have used them up, you can replenish them by taking a nap."

Xiao Cui closed her eyes to absorb the soul power. She did not see the stone heart in her arms, its surface cracked with fine lines.

As the green light inside the room diminished, the patterns on the stone became increasingly larger.

When the green light completely disappeared, there was a "crack" sound, and the stone broke into powder. Some of the powder stuck to Xiao Cui's clothes, and some fell to the ground.

Startled, Xiao Cui opened her eyes, and upon seeing what was in her hand, her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

It was a five-centimeter-long bamboo section, so tender that you couldn't see any obvious green color; it was about the size of a person's little finger.

Hehe...hehe...

The small bamboo segments emitted a joyful laugh.

Lu Youyou also shifted her gaze from the watch, her eyes widening. How could this voice sound so much like the Bamboo Maiden's?

"Mother?!"

Xiao Cui carefully pinched a bamboo section and held it in front of her eyes: "Mom, is that you?"

The little bamboo joint continued to giggle, offering no other response.

"Is this my mom? This is my mom!"

Xiao Cui looked at the robot, her eyes filled with tears, filled with the joy of having it back.

The little robot didn't answer the question directly, but instead replied with an emoticon.

"You'll get a plant pet right after you bind your profession. The bamboo shoots you grow will definitely taste better. By the way, growers can have multiple plant pets. The more plant pets you have, the better the quality of your bamboo."

"Please be aware that the bamboo forest may be damaged by mischievous bear monsters. Patrol your bamboo forest frequently. If you can capture a bear monster and make it your guardian, it will relieve a lot of your stress."

With a wave of the little robot's hand, Lu Youyou and Xiao Cui arrived on the highway.

As raindrops hit their heads, the two of them shivered simultaneously.

Lu Youyou ended the vehicle's shrinking state ahead of schedule and helped Xiao Cui to the roof.

"Sister, thank you so much for your help. I was able to become a high-level monster. This chocolate was made by my mother. It's delicious. Consider it a thank you gift."

Lu Youyou waved her hand: "I don't like sweets, Xiao Cui, my mission is complete."

"Yes, sister, my mission is complete. Thank you for taking care of me along the way."

Lu Youyou gave a stiff smile. How could she be considered to have taken care of her?

The cotton-padded jacket given to Xiaocui was torn, and they watched her get soaked in the rain without offering to change her.

Even now, with the mission almost complete, they haven't invited Xiao Cui to sit in the carriage.

However, she does not regret her decision. She does not actively harm people or monsters, but she will not be unguarded.

However, now that she can leave the game as long as she submits the task, she is not afraid that Xiao Cui will take advantage of her kindness and ask for more.

She opened a compartment in her backpack, placed a long wooden table inside, took out a small bamboo shoot-shaped cake and put it on it, and then took out a well-fitting children's down jacket.

"Sister? How come you have mini cakes? Don't you dislike sweets?"

"My sister had it made by a gang member in the small room. The down jacket is also brand new. My sister has clicked to submit the task."

Xiao Cui's eyes were glistening with tears, but she still sensibly waved goodbye to Lu Youyou.

"Sister, one day I will find you and give you the fresh bamboo shoots I grew."
