On the contrary, this agricultural and breeding science can improve the conditions and life of their hometown more smoothly.
Xue Dili had no idea that they had such thoughts in their hearts. He just felt a bit guilty since the Old Demon Emperor wanted two assistants, but it seemed like there were now two ministers of agriculture.
"Do you have anything else you want? Have you made a list?" Xue Dili said, ready to give them one last boost.
The plants and animals from Earth would certainly not adapt smoothly to that world, so Xue Dili was prepared to use Cursed Blood to improve them, at least making the enhanced flora and fauna more adaptable to the high Magic Power environment there.
"Siam and I have both made our lists. I’ve prepared to bring back 132 types of seeds. Siam is planning to take prawns, grass carp, chicks, and crayfish back. We are ready to slowly cultivate them, developing them into unique species suited to our planet," Bai Ya said, pulling out a list on A4 paper.
"Yes, yes, yes, Aunt’s fried shrimp is super delicious. I wish all the children in our world could taste this deliciousness," said Siam, her tail waving incessantly as she seemed to start drooling.
"And sweet and sour fish, pickled fish, spicy crayfish, chicken wings, chicken legs..." Siam counted her beloved foods on her fingers, and although she had just finished her meal, she seemed to be drooling again until Bai Ya gave her head a firm pat to snap her out of it.
Xue Dili glanced over the list. There were no issues, but these things were probably hard to adapt to that environment with a high Magic Power concentration. He would have to handle them himself again.
"Let’s wait until next week. These things take time, and starting this week, preparations will be made for these species. Next week, I’ll send you both home together," Xue Dili handed back the A4 paper to the two young ones.
After bowing, they returned to their room, seemingly to study and read again. Perhaps they have begun contemplating the planning of their hometown too. They wish for their hometown to successfully cultivate these species within a few years so they can begin large-scale planting and breeding.
Watching them in their room, Xue Dili smiled. Children emerging from hardship tend to be more mature and self-reliant. Despite their early teenage years, they are already self-learning and deeply diving into professional books that even Xue Dili finds daunting, while also considering their homeland’s future.
When he was their age, he had just barely recovered from the disaster of a large forest fire.
Hopefully, these two children will satisfy the Old Demon Emperor. Although they aren’t politically inclined talents, Xue Dili believes that in a world where everything is in need of development, talents in agriculture and industry are more important than those in the humanities.
"After letting loose for a few days, they then started to study seriously. For some time now, they’ve only been sleeping three hours a day to translate primary and middle school textbooks into their world’s language," Aunt mentioned, which astonished Xue Dili.
"So... you’re saying they’ve finished learning the basics of agricultural and breeding sciences and are now translating textbooks?" Xue Dili was shocked.
"Yes, but they don’t translate everything, mainly focusing on ’Natural Science,’ ’Elementary Mathematics,’ ’Physics,’ ’Chemistry,’ ’Biology,’ and ’Geography,’ and even then it’s selective. They’ve translated and written down about 356 pages of A4 paper worth of textbook content," Aunt sighed.
Perhaps even the playful Little Dragon Lady wasn’t aware that while she was still naively watching TV, her friends had self-taught the local language, finished agricultural and breeding sciences, and started translating basic textbooks into the language of their homeland, preparing to take them back.
Xue Dili suddenly felt a sense of admiration for these children, just a bit over ten years old.
In the future, on their home planet, perhaps these two children would be akin to "Prometheus" in Earth’s mythology, bringing the world’s knowledge and wisdom back to their homeland. If they continue, teaching these foundational skills to more people, it won’t be long before their world undergoes a profound transformation.
"Then let’s not disturb them anymore, and also tell Little Dragon Lady not to disturb them," Xue Dili lowered his voice.
Aunt nodded as well.
Xue Dili truly marveled, seeing how the Old Demon Emperor’s judgment was exemplary, instantly recognizing these gifted children both in spirit and awareness.
He couldn’t help but sigh that if his kids had half the capabilities in the future, he wouldn’t worry.
However, their maturity and sensibility were entirely based on the fact that they grew up on that land of hardship, so upon seeing the future and hope, they just rushed towards it as if gone insane.
Many things that were completely normal to Xue Dili, such as just a dish of braised eggplant with pork, were considered unimaginably delicious delicacies to them.
What moved Xue Dili more was that after enjoying the delicacies here, they did not think about immigrating, staying on Earth to enjoy food every day, but rather about bringing the ingredients of these delicacies back to their hometown, building their homeland, and attempting to recreate these dishes there.
Such awareness and mentality exceed 99% of people.
