Keke timely recommended books to her, saying, "Honey, the limitations of the goods in the mall are very significant." Many things cannot be traded on a large scale. "As a system, I do not recommend engaging in speculative business because it lacks technical substance and poses significant risks to your safety."

Keke's voice became passionate and full of enthusiasm as she said, "In this world, the safest way to earn money is by using your own abilities." Therefore, host, study cultural knowledge. "As long as your abilities are sufficient, you will not lack money."

Keke carefully selected several books for herself, all of which had a preview function.

Manbao flipped through a few pages and found that she didn't quite understand, so she closed the book and said, "I don't understand."

"It's precisely because you don't understand that you need to learn," Keke said. "If you already understood, would you still need to learn?" Books that can be understood at a glance without the need for in-depth study are nothing more than superficial words. Host, what you need to learn is knowledge, not just stories.

"What kind of knowledge are these?"

Keke solemnly replied, "Knowledge of making money."

Manbao scratched her little head. She was almost convinced by Keke, but then she reconsidered and realized that it was not right. She was still young, but she also knew that earning money was very challenging. Based on her experience, she had to go out to earn money, but she was too young to go far. Her parents would definitely not want her to leave, so she definitely couldn't go out to make money.

So she became unwilling, "I won't buy!"

Keke: ...

Manbao seemed to sense Keke's disappointment, so she reluctantly said, "Do you have any books on growing Chinese yams?" "If you do, I'll buy one."

Keke replied dejectedly, "No, there are books on growing other crops like rice, wheat, and various fruit cultivation techniques, but there are no books on Chinese yam."

Although Keke wanted to encourage Manbao to buy books sourced from the encyclopedia, with each purchase earning a commission, Keke did not want to exploit Manbao.

So, it brought up the entry for Chinese yam for her to see. The entry for Chinese yam is now available, and it includes the most basic cultivation advice. "Host, you can take a look."

Manbao found that there were many words in the entry that she didn't recognize.

Keke explained and helped her understand the parts she couldn't comprehend. Among them were instructions on how to handle Chinese yam seeds and how to prepare the planting soil, with specific quantities listed. However, the information was quite abstract, and Manbao found it very challenging to understand.

Keke saw her spirits rise and said, "Host, there is also a simulation display within the system." Would you like to use it? "It's very affordable, just a few points for a ten-minute simulation display, complete with explanations."

Manbao didn't understand, "What is a simulation display?"

Suddenly, a clear image of a person holding a hoe and tilling the soil appeared in Manbao's mind. Keke explained, "This is a simulation display, divided into three modes." One is the most basic, completely based on the text you choose for display. Another option could be determined by the conditions you establish for display, while the third one involves simulating displays based on scanned real-life conditions. The points required for the three modes are different. I recommend that the host first experience the initial simulation display mode. However, due to the significant difference between the era in which the host is located and the era in which the entries were formed, I believe the host should prioritize the third mode after considering the simulation display.

Manbao's eyes lit up as she watched the person tilling the soil, and she asked excitedly, "Can this person be replaced with Fourth Brother?"

Keke hesitated for a moment, but for the sake of long-term development, it gritted its teeth and made the switch for the host. As a result, the person in Manbao's mind transformed into Zhou Sirliang, working with a hoe.

Manbao happily exclaimed, "Change it to me, change it to me!"

Keke: ...

What else could it do?

Of course, it could only agree. As a result, the image in Manbao's mind changed to a miniature version of herself sitting on the ground with a hoe that was bigger and older than her.

Keke explained emotionlessly, "Due to the tool being too large and the host's lack of strength, she sat on the ground."

Manbao burst into laughter. The system couldn't understand her sense of humor. When she finished laughing, it asked, "Host, do you want to use the simulation display?"

Manbao nodded, wiping away the tears of laughter.

The system deducted a few points from her account and thoughtfully selected the text from the Chinese yam entry for her, so a scene slowly flowed through Manbao's mind.

Keke referred to it as a video, but Manbao perceived it as a series of moving paintings connected together, particularly beautiful and vivid.

No, it was already moving.

Keke acted as her commentator, "Chinese yams can be harvested about half a month before the tubers mature, using the aerial tubers…"

Manbao stared with wide eyes and asked eagerly, "I've seen this before, on the vines."

Keke added, "They can be used as seeds." In addition to the tubers, the aerial tubers can also be planted.

Of course, future technology cannot be compared to the present. Although the future technology personnel had only received Chinese yams a few days ago, they quickly developed the best planting methods for this era based on the existing data and research on the habits of Chinese yams.

Whether using tubers or aerial tubers as seeds, it is best to start with seedlings. They would first soak the seedlings in a solution to reduce the damage from pathogens, then air-dry them for one to three days before planting them.

The seedling period lasts about twenty-five days.

After handling the seeds, Manbao noticed a large object on the ground, digging, furrowing, sowing, and harvesting. Keke explained, "This is a planting machine." It can dig, furrow, sow, and harvest. It can handle all the work in the field.

Manbao exclaimed, "Can I buy it?"

"No," the system said, "Even if you bought it, you couldn't use it." This device can be controlled remotely over the network and requires charging. "You also don't have electricity here..."

Manbao felt a bit regretful, but she carefully observed the process of planting Chinese yams.

The video lasted nearly thirty minutes, and the system deducted two more points from her account. It then saved the synthesized video for her, saying, "You can watch it whenever you want in the future without spending any more points." "Isn't that a great deal?"

Manbao nodded and began to ask various questions, such as where to buy the solution for soaking the seeds. She found that this solution was not expensive at all in the mall.

Since the items were purchased from the mall and Keke did not receive a commission, she considerately suggested, "Perhaps the host could consider using alternative solutions instead." These solutions are all very brightly colored, and if the host removes them, it may be challenging to explain their origins. In fact, Chinese yam seeds can be soaked in lime…

The system's main responsibility is to collect various plant species, and it possesses extensive knowledge about gardening. Therefore, even if the Chinese yam entry does not explicitly state it, the system can analyze the processing methods uploaded by technology personnel to determine the planting methods more suitable for this era.
