Witch Special

Lin Zhenxi did not have any ready-made seeds on hand. The food she stored in the space cube had all been processed, and the biological activity had long been eliminated. Unless Lin Zhenxi gave them a reverse process, reducing the bread to flour, then to wheat, and finally to wheat seeds, otherwise she would be like a cook without rice.

But this obviously did not pose a problem for Lin Zhenxi. Although she could not create seeds out of thin air based on the materials she had, she had magic.

Of course, this wasn't about Lin Zhenxi directly using magical plants to produce seeds and giving them to the orcs. Magical products like those generally didn't last long, just like the pollen spores Lin Zhenxi had modified. They bloomed and withered in just a few minutes, and with such a short lifespan, they clearly couldn't be used for farming.

Therefore, if Lin Zhenxi wants to obtain seeds that can be cultivated, he must use the real objects as a model and use magic to induce the existing seeds to mutate, so as to obtain high-yield crop seeds that can exist stably.

It sounds troublesome, but it is indeed a solution, because the orcs in the Orc Canyon actually came here this way a long time ago.

On the outskirts of the Orc Canyon, there are actually many plants covered in thorns, resembling thorns. These plants actually bear fruit, and the yield is quite abundant. If the thorns were not so painful that it makes picking the fruit very difficult, and the fruit has a growth cycle and is not always available, the Orcs might be able to fill their stomachs with the fruit of these plants alone.

This meant that the Orcs could pick the fruits from those plants, as ordinary humans didn't have the same thick fur to protect them. Furthermore, even the Orcs didn't dare go too deep, because the deeper they went, the thicker the vines became, and the larger and sharper the thorns became. If the thorns pierced the skin, the wound would swell up purple, and recovery would require a serious illness.

In the history of the Orcs, too many of them died from being stabbed by thorns while picking fruits from the thorn bushes.

High yield? That's it. As for issues like thorns and poisonous thorns, they weren't a problem in Lin Zhenxi's eyes. As long as it was still a plant, propagating through seeds, Lin Zhenxi could change the properties of these plants by inducing mutations.

Cultivating and growing all kinds of magical plants is a witch's fundamental skill, and Lin Zhenxi certainly has this ability. In fact, she uses this skill to cultivate the pollen spores of morning glory. She is a witch after all, so these things that sound very strange are a perfect match for her.

Lin Zhenxi presented two solutions to the problem, one short-term and one long-term, to Norni. When Norni heard that Lin Zhenxi could create water and bread out of thin air, her jaw dropped. She couldn't imagine that magic could do such a thing.

Facts speak louder than words. Lin Zhenxi used the food-making technique to tear out a long loaf of bread on the spot, and then used the water-making technique to produce a pot of clear water and brought it to Noelni.

Noelni looked at the beautifully shaped bread in her hand, opened her mouth, and couldn't bear to eat it.

This poor child... Lin Zhenxi was holding the kettle, hesitating whether to tell her that the taste of this bread was no different from chewing wax, and it had no taste at all.

Norni broke off a piece of bread and stuffed it into her mouth. After chewing it twice, she looked very bitter. However, she did not spit out the extremely unpalatable bread. Instead, she tried very hard to swallow it. However, it was obvious that the dry bread was a big obstacle to her efforts.

Lin Zhenxi finally laughed, as if the prank was successful.

"How is it? It tastes bad, right?"

"Water...water!" Noelni took the water bottle from Lin Zhenxi's hand, took two big gulps, and then swallowed the piece of bread stuck in her throat.

Lin Zhenxi came over with a smile, patted Norni's belly curiously, and asked, "I really want to know, are you now considered an individual or a combination of the three aliens? If you are full, will they not be hungry?"

Norni still had a bitter face, her lips moving slightly, probably using her tongue to clean the bread crumbs in her mouth. After a while, she began to complain, "I've never eaten anything so disgusting. It has no taste at all, and it's dry and hard."

"Because this is the simplest food-making magic. If you want something more delicious, of course you can, but you need to add more magic power." Lin Zhenxi said, and then he gently waved his wand, throwing out a piece of magic gauze. After tearing off this layer of gauze, a dinner plate appeared in Lin Zhenxi's hand.

"Come, have a taste of this magical feast. But let me tell you, this plate of magical food consumes enough mana for me to use the Food Making Spell a thousand times."

After saying that, Lin Zhenxi opened the lid of the plate.

As the plate was opened, a steaming aroma immediately filled my nose. A delicious grilled steak sat in the center, surrounded by a selection of delicately prepared side dishes: green beans, yellow carrots, and red tomatoes. In the corners of the plate sat two croissants, a cup of hot milk, and a fried egg.

Of course, these weren't real; they were all products of magic. The magic merely simulated their taste and the energy they provided; they contained no nutritional value. To the human body, their effects were no different from those bland, chewy, hard breads. The sheer amount of magic consumed was solely to simulate the texture and flavor of the food.

But this was still enough to shock Norni, who had never seen anything good. She stared blankly at the colorful food she had never seen before. Her throat itched, and after swallowing, she looked up at Lin Zhenxi, her eyes sparkling, her azure pupils seeming to glow.

"Can I eat it?"

"Of course...wait wait wait!" Lin Zhenxi suddenly withdrew his hand and moved the plate a little further away. Then, glaring at Norni, who looked a little aggrieved, as if blaming Lin Zhenxi for not keeping his word, he asked, "You're not going to take it with your hands, are you?"

"Is there any problem?" Norni still stretched out her hand. Her matter-of-fact expression made Lin Zhenxi realize that the orcs seemed to have no concept of tableware. They just grabbed whatever they wanted to eat with their hands.

Maybe they don't even know that fire can be used to cook food and boil water to kill the bacteria in it, because they usually use oil drums to light the fire, and the fuel inside is waste plastic and rubber, which will produce toxic smoke once burned. Such flames are obviously not suitable for processing food.

How could this be possible?... At this moment, Lin Zhenxi deeply realized the arduousness of the task he had taken on. The Orc civilization was still in its primitive state, with almost nothing but population. The difficulty of ensuring a stable life for such a group was extremely great.

Let's start by washing our hands. Lin Zhenxi held the plate in one hand, then waved her wand with the other, conjuring a set of tables and chairs on the spot, and then placed the plate on the table.

Next, Lin Zhenxi released the Guquan Spell with the lowest power, creating a magic ball in mid-air that continuously gushed out clear water.

"Listen, Noel, I'm going to teach you some basic table manners, or hygiene. That is, wash your hands before and after meals."

After saying that, Lin Zhenxi grabbed Norni's hand, which was much hotter than his own, and put her hand under the water to wet it.

Norni grabbed Lin Zhenxi's hand, squeezed it, and said in surprise: "Lin Zhenxi, your hands are so small, and they feel so cold. Is it because you don't have pads on your hands?"

Lin Zhenxi used a little effort to pull her hand out of Norni's. She rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "Don't you see how tall you are? It's not natural that my hands are smaller than yours. Also, only orcs have meat pads, humans don't. You don't have meat pads yourself now."

In reality, Hayashi Maki's palm temperature was normal; she didn't have a cold body. However, Norni was an expert at playing with fire, and her magic seemed to emulate the properties of fire. Not only was her temperature high, but her energy was also more active than Hayashi Maki's. Using this energy to power magic increased its power, but also weakened its control. Hayashi Maki's magic, on the other hand, was more stable and controllable, but less powerful.

Anyway, Lin Zhenxi felt that her magic power was quite good. Rather than pursuing the power of magic, Lin Zhenxi preferred to release magic with precision. This was also because she was used to using a wand instead of a staff. The flexibility and manipulation of magic by a wand were a level higher than that of a staff that only emphasized the power of magic.

After pressing Noel's palm into the water, Lin Zhenxi used her magic wand to create a lot of cleansing bubbles, completely covering Noel's hands, and taught her step by step how to wash her hands. After completing this step, Lin Zhenxi pulled out the towel she had given Noel to wipe her tears and taught her how to use the towel to wipe her hands clean.

It must be said that during this process, Lin Zhenxi felt like he was taking care of a little kid, although this kid was really a bit big.

Norni probably also felt a little strange. She was being very obedient and allowed Lin Zhenxi to manipulate her. If Norni hadn't cooperated so well, Lin Zhenxi's teaching would probably not have been as smooth as it is now.

After teaching her how to wash her hands, Lin Zhenxi had to teach Norni how to use cutlery instead of grabbing food with her hands. Lin Zhenxi originally wanted to teach Norni how to use chopsticks directly, but when she remembered that the food she had conjured up with the magic feast was steak, she changed her focus to teaching Norni how to use a knife, fork, and spoon.

After some effort, Noelni finally put the food she had been longing for into her mouth.
