Chapter 115: Good Land.
At that moment, Karl scoffed as he turned and stared at Sunnie, arms folded. "See? It’s obvious that the land is already a mess, so how on earth do you intend to farm here? Is this your so-called good plan?"
Sunnie was quiet before she turned and stared back at him. Her lips curled into a smile. "Yes, it is."
She turned to them all. "You all don’t have to worry about any of that. Whether the land is good or not, whether crops grow or die on it—don’t worry about it. Leave it to me. All you have to do is trust me and assist me. This isn’t the first time we’ve worked through the impossible, and it won’t be the last time."
She said, "So just give me that opportunity."
They were quiet as the women slowly nodded. Zukka and Zuna stared at each other and also nodded in agreement.
"She has already proved her skills in our tribe, so I think she can definitely do this without worries," Zuna added.
"She’s the moon goddess after all," Zukka added. "This shouldn’t be anything."
Little Black nodded with a smile. "Even though the land is evil, I still trust you, Sister Sunnie. You can always do anything."
With that, the rest nodded in agreement. Azure joined in as well. Sunnie smiled at them. "Thanks."
Luka and Eris stared at each other and casually shrugged.
"Okay then... if she says so... I guess we’ll give you the chance," Eris said. Luka nodded.
Karl scoffed. "Whatever. I’d like to see how the miracle goes then."
Everyone stared at Zayn, who sat there at a distance without saying anything. He stared up, meeting their eyes.
"What?" he asked. "It’s none of my business. She can do whatever she likes."
And with that, everyone had their eyes on Sunnie again. Eris asked, "So, Little Miss, what do you plan on doing now?"
Sunnie stared at little Maren, who was quietly in her arms, looking around and observing everyone. She smiled as she said, "Firstly, we have to find the perfect land to work on."
Karl raised an eyebrow. "Is that even possible?"
Sunnie scoffed. "Watch me."

[Ding!]
[Tribe Building System: Farming Task]
[First Step: Find a suitable land to farm on.]
[Tip: The system will detect the best land to farm on through the analysis board. All you have to do is get to the land and feel its soil—the system will do the rest.]
[The analysis will appear, and the land with the lowest percentage of risk will be the most suitable!]
[Host will have to make the final choice of where to pick though!]
Sunnie, Little Black, Zukka, Zuna, Atan, and her beast husbands set off the next day to find a suitable land for farming. They left the women and the mouse beastman behind with the sleeping cub to look after.
Karl and Zayn were reluctant to go with them, but they agreed to leave after Azure insisted they come along for better manpower.
Sunnie led the way while they did their research through the land. Little Black assisted her since he knew the land better.
Little Black took them around and showed them the lands he knew. When they arrived at the first land, which was rather bushy, Sunnie bent down and ran her hands through the soil.
[Ding!]
[Land analysis available!]
[Poor soil health]
[Bad sunlight reception]
[Poisonous insects living underneath]
[Low energy]
[Risk percentage: 92%]
Sunnie blinked. "This land isn’t good. Let’s find somewhere else."
"Huh? How would you know that?" Karl demanded.
"I just do." She led the way, and they followed her. They got to the next place, and Sunnie ran the same test.
[Ding!]
...
...
[Risk Percentage: 80%]
"Not good," Sunnie announced, and they continued again, seeking the next land.
[Risk percentage: 88%]
"Not good. Next!" And they continued.
[Risk percentage: 76%]
"Eh, next!"
[Risk Percentage: 100%]
"!!!"
"Next!"
They continued moving again. It was already getting to evening, and they were getting exhausted after going around the land without finding anything suitable at all.
"Are you even sure of what you’re doing?" Karl asked, both hands on his waist. "We’ve been moving for ages now."
"Trust the process," Little Black snapped at him as he cast him a cold glare.
They soon arrived at another land that wasn’t as big as the rest they had checked. It had fewer weeds, and it was part of the ones the hyenas had crumbled over.
"This place looks good, though," Zuna expressed.
"Yes, I think so. Look, it has fewer weeds and all. And some plants had at least previously grown on it, so it shouldn’t be that hard to work with," Little Black suggested.
"Yes, it’s the best place we’ve come across recently. So let’s settle for this," Luka suggested.
Sunnie bent down and ran her fingers through the soil as the system beeped.
[Ding!]
[Moderate sun reception]
[Fair land condition]
[Few dangerous insects]
...
[Risk Percentage: 50%]
Sunnie stared at it for a while, going through the stats while running her hands through her chin.
"So? What do you think?" Little Black inquired as Sunnie studied the stats for a while.
To her, it didn’t look so bad at all. She wasn’t so amazing at farming, but she could at least tell that plants could grow in such a condition if handled properly.
Besides, this was the evil forest, so she wasn’t necessarily expecting a perfect land with 0% risk percentage. Anything with 50–59% risk percentage was fair enough; at least she could work with that.
Also, it wasn’t that big, so it didn’t warrant a lot of work to get the land cleared and worked on. She was feeling somewhat lazy to find somewhere extremely big.
Sunnie nodded as she got up to her feet and brushed her palms clean. "That’s it. We’ll make use of this land for our farming," she expressed with a smile all over her face.
They stared at her and then at the land.
Little Black, Zukka, and Zuna nodded while clapping in unison.
"If Sister Sunnie picks it, then it should be good."
