Exiled Villainess: They Threw Me Out, Now Every Beastman Wants Me novel Chapter 129

Chapter 129: Spray and Pray

Tera eyed the system screen. ’I can’t fucking use this.’

[This system would like to inform Host that system shop items can be upgraded and enhanced using Tips]

[The hoes can be upgraded to superior construction materials]

’Well, then what are you waiting for? Let me have it! Hold on, what are tips, and why am I just hearing of this?’

Tera had a foreboding feeling.

[༎ຶ‿༎ຶ]

[Sorry]

[Skipped my mind]

’Not again! WE TALKED ABOUT THIS!!!!!’

[This skill, along with Tips, will be attainable once Tier 3 is unlocked!]

[(ᵕ—ᴗ—)]

[Stronger, more durable tools will be available!]

’And you are telling me this NOW?! When I cannot even freaking use it?!’

[ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ]

[This system is sharing information proactively!]

[As per our agreement!]

’YOU SILLY GOOSE!’

Tera wanted to launch the system into the sinkhole.

She purchased more hoes from the system space and distributed them. This time, she told the wolves to gently scrape and shove the blade into the limestone where the chalky and sandy substance and debris were holding the rocks together.

The wolves repositioned and started targeting the gaps between the rocks and scraping away.

But even that was painfully difficult. The crevices were narrow, and the wolves had to angle their strikes carefully to avoid hitting the main rock surface. The limestone, despite being partially eroded, was still hard enough to resist the hoes, and every misaimed strike sent another ear-splitting clang echoing through the forest.

Progress slowed to a crawl.

Tera stood back, staring at the blockage with an expression so intense that several wolves quietly edged away from her.

She was glaring at the wall of rock and debris as if it had personally insulted her family, stolen her livestock, and spat in her face.

"Is she alright?" one wolf whispered to another.

"I do not know. She looks like she wants to kill the rocks."

"Can you kill rocks?"

"I do not think so, but I would not tell her that right now."

Even Calis was stunned by how domineering she looked. He thought he had seen her angry earlier when she was facing off against Elder Greymaw, but here she really looked furious.

It was strangely attractive.

Calis shifted his thoughts before they could go anywhere else.

Meanwhile, Tera’s mind was churning through every option in the system shop when a memory surfaced.

The soil softener!

She had seen it in Tier 1 shortly after she had migrated to this plain with the others. Tera had dismissed it at the time because it cost more nipples than she had been willing to spend, and she hadn’t needed it for the Dow clan’s construction.

She suddenly felt so silly as she had another realisation.

The channel project back then could have been completed faster if she had used this darn thing!

The earth would have also been softer for the beast males to dig. Instead, she had taken the harder route, and the system hadn’t even advised her.

’Urgh!’

She had been too preoccupied with the channel lining to notice that.

Then again, spraying the soil softener on that wide an area would be inefficient and also be a waste of nipples.

Tera stared at the rocky mound in front of them. Soil was made of minerals. Limestone was a mineral. And the debris holding the blockage together was a mixture of soil, plants, and calcium deposits that had hardened over the years.

It could work here.

’System. The soil softener from Tier 1. It should work on limestone and calcium deposits, right?’

[...]

[(꒪⌓꒪)]

[That... might actually work]

’MIGHT?!’

’I don’t care if it is unconventional! Does it work or not?!’

’Good enough!’
