Chapter 496 - 487: The Big Boss 5
Yan Shuangshuang dashed over excitedly, took a closer look, and indeed, these plants were purslane. This was great stuff, not only edible but also had heat-clearing, detoxifying, and anti-inflammatory properties; ideal for those lacking vegetable intake.
Just as Yan Shuangshuang reached out excitedly to pick it, the gift package information in her mind popped up, directly throwing out a picture to tell her that although this thing looked like purslane, it was actually highly toxic and not edible!
Yan Shuangshuang’s excited expression stiffened immediately. It looked edible but was poisonous—could anything be more disappointing?
She carefully examined her surroundings and indeed, it was exactly like purslane, yet it was poisonous and inedible!
The plants in this world are truly strange. Even though this purslane-like thing couldn’t be eaten, it suddenly made Yan Shuangshuang realize that some common knowledge she knew from Earth couldn’t be applied in this world. Because those pieces of knowledge might be completely wrong here, utterly opposite to the correct answers.
If it weren’t for this gift package helping to identify the plant as poisonous, she would have relied on her Earthly knowledge and taken it back as food for everyone. It would have been fine if everyone cautiously tested for poison first, but if they trusted her and ate it directly, she would be utterly sinful.
Yan Shuangshuang lingered for a while. Leader Ben and her father Tieh came over, looking at the large patch of poisonous purslane in front of her. Ben asked, somewhat puzzled, "Shuangshuang, what are you looking at? Is this stuff edible?"
Yan Shuangshuang shook her head and sighed with some disappointment, "No, this stuff is not edible, it’s highly toxic!"
Ben and Tie continued to look at Yan Shuangshuang curiously, likely wondering why she was standing there if there wasn’t anything edible. The two of them had no idea that Yan Shuangshuang had just been hit hard and was now feeling dejected.
But after being dejected for a short while, Yan Shuangshuang quickly perked up. She came out to find food, not to daze off here.
