As Lin Yun was picking vegetables, something suddenly flashed before her eyes.

Lin Yun looked again in surprise. "Huh? Detailed information?"

Detailed information about ordinary plants would not appear. It would only automatically pop up when she encountered a special, unfamiliar, or newly discovered plant.

[Tomato: A mutated variety with high yields. Suitable for planting in all types of soil. Consuming it can temporarily increase movement speed.]

The statement that it was suitable for planting in all types of soil immediately caught Lin Yun’s attention.

Knowing that she would probably encounter something useful today, Lin Yun had prepared a shovel in advance. There were no shovels in the department store, so she had taken one from a courier package—a folding entrenching shovel.

After calling Ghost Vine back and taking out a suitable plant pot, Lin Yun carefully dug the tomato plant, which was nearly as tall as she was, out of the ground.

Ghost Vine stayed nearby, poking its vines into the soil and loosening the earth so that Lin Yun could dig the tomato plant out more easily.

However, the tomato plant was simply too large. If she found other mutated plants later, it would be difficult to bring them all back.

She also didn’t want to parade several mutated plants around the town. That would make her far too conspicuous.

Thinking of this, Lin Yun quietly asked the system, "System, is there any way to solve this?"

[For 10 points, I can help you transport all the plants you obtain today.]

"All of them?"

[All of them.]

"Deal. Deduct the points!"

[10 points have been deducted. Temporary storage space activated. The mutated tomato plant has been placed inside.]

Lin Yun didn’t pick all the tomatoes. With this mutated tomato plant, she wouldn’t have to worry about lacking tomatoes in the future.

She then shifted her attention to her next target.

Cucumbers.

The original cucumber trellis had collapsed beneath the weight of the vines and the enormous cucumbers.

Without anything to climb, the cucumber vines had no choice but to spread wildly across the ground.

Many of the cucumbers had been destroyed by rats, but quite a few had survived.

Lin Yun sent Ghost Vine to collect a woven bag full of cucumbers while she searched through the vines, hoping to find a mutated cucumber.

Unfortunately, after searching carefully, she still couldn’t find any mutated varieties.

Just then, Yao An’an suddenly shouted, "Sister Lin! Come quickly!"

Lin Yun looked up and struggled free from the cucumber vines scattered across the ground.

"What is it?"

"This one!"

Yao An’an excitedly pointed at a mutated eggplant growing on the ground.

"Sister Lin, this is for you!"

Lin Yun glanced at it, and detailed information about the mutated eggplant immediately appeared before her eyes. Its description was similar to that of the mutated tomato she had just found.

"You can keep it for yourself. It’s easy to grow."

With that, she turned around and went to collect the few cabbages that Chen Anna and Yao An’an had deliberately left for her.

"Huh? Sister Lin, you don’t want it?"

Yao An’an scratched her head. She hadn’t expected Lin Yun to refuse again.

"That’s fine." Yao An’an immediately smiled. "I’ll take it back later. If you want eggplant in the future, just come and ask me for some!"

Chen Anna looked up from the eggplant patch and smiled.

"See? I told you Sister Lin wouldn’t want it, but you didn’t believe me."

Sister Lin?

What a strange title.

Lin Yun shook her head and continued working. After finishing with the cabbages, she picked up another woven bag and began collecting eggplants.

Ghost Vine dragged a woven bag full of cucumbers over. The moment it saw Lin Yun picking another vegetable, it immediately dropped the bag and rushed over.

Let me do it! Let me do it!

Picking things made Ghost Vine incredibly happy.

There were also a few okra plants growing in one corner, but Lin Yun didn’t like eating okra. She found the slimy texture it developed after cooking disgusting and had never liked it.

Farther ahead was a small patch of cilantro, scallions, and similar vegetables.

These plants had grown extremely tall, with some of the scallions reaching heights comparable to the two-meter-long scallions she had once seen online.

As Lin Yun approached, a strong smell suddenly drifted toward her.

She immediately took several steps back.

It was cilantro—the smell she hated most!

She gagged twice. She genuinely couldn’t stand cilantro.

She had once sworn that if she ever became rich, she would pull up every cilantro plant in the world.

Hearing the commotion, Chen Anna and Yao An’an hurried over.

"What happened, Sister Lin?"

Lin Yun waved her hand, her face twisted in discomfort.

"Nothing. The smell of the cilantro is too strong. It made me nauseous."

"Cilantro?" Chen Anna scratched her head.

She actually thought cilantro smelled wonderful.

However, she didn’t dare say that in front of Lin Yun. It was obvious that Lin Yun really hated it.

"Sister Lin, as long as you’re okay. Let’s go pick some more," Yao An’an said.

Yao An’an didn’t particularly like cilantro either, but she could smell its strong aroma from quite a distance.

The smell of scallions was mixed in with it as well.

Lin Yun suddenly remembered the leaves of the Star Tea Tree. She quickly took two leaves from her pocket and sniffed them.

The overpowering smell of cilantro finally faded.

She looked at the incredibly tall cilantro, scallions, and ginger.

Their aromas were so strong that it was no wonder the rats had left them alone.

After collecting half of the scallions and ginger, Lin Yun quickly moved forward.

But soon, they were attacked by another plant’s "magic."

This time, the culprit was a chili pepper plant.

Lin Yun felt as if the sky had collapsed once again.

Did all vegetables become this terrifying after growing to a gigantic size?

Not only were they incredibly pungent, but they were also an eyesore.

[Want a perk? For 10 points, you can temporarily block the effects of plant scents.]

"You’re just trying to rob me, aren’t you? Cough, cough! Ten points? I’d have to kill ten rats just to earn that... cough, cough!"

[Are you sure you don’t want it? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.]

"I want it!"

[10 points have been deducted~ Your sense of smell and taste have been temporarily blocked~ The smell and taste of chili peppers can no longer affect you~ If you need to block other sensations, just call the system at any time~]

Hearing the smug, teasing tone in the system’s voice, Lin Yun was so angry that she wanted to punch it twice.

This system really knew how to squeeze every last point out of her!

Still, after activating the perk, Lin Yun did feel much better.

There were no mutated varieties among the scallions or ginger, so she decided to search the chili peppers carefully and see if she could find one.

This family grew quite a few varieties of chili peppers, including Erjingtiao, millet peppers, and Chaotian peppers...

Lin Yun picked several and stuffed them into a woven bag. After growing to such enormous sizes, some of the peppers were almost as long as her forearm.

Just as she was about to continue toward the nearby cornfield, Lin Yun suddenly noticed what appeared to be a mutated plant growing in the corner of the wall.

However, the mutated plant was still very small, seemingly only at the seedling stage.

If she hadn’t happened to catch a glimpse of it hiding behind the enormous chili pepper plant, she probably wouldn’t have noticed it at all.

Detailed information appeared before her eyes.

[Versatile Pepper: A mutated variety with high yields, capable of producing different varieties of chili peppers. Suitable for all types of soil and thrives in moist conditions. Please exercise caution when consuming unfamiliar chili peppers.]

The final sentence immediately caught Lin Yun’s attention.

She was a little curious about what exactly the warning meant.

Unfamiliar chili peppers?

Could they be like the sunflowers she had encountered before—capable of producing aggressive chili peppers?
