The Entire Interstellar is Watching What I Eat

     [Ding- Task Completed]

     [Distinguish Edible Plants: 10/10] 

     [Reward Granted: Highlighting Mode]

?

 ‘Tem, explain it?’

 [Master, you’ll know when you turn on the map highlighting mode~ This is a very good function~] The system continued to pinch its voice to try to show cuteness towards Ji He as Ji He listened silently.
Unfortunately due to pinching up its own voice to obtain a fake ‘cutsey’ effect, the voice contrarily become more shrill and trembling.

Following the system’s instructions of operation, Ji He opened the highlight mode from the reward he had just earned.
Originally, Ji He thought that the highlighted position would be displayed on the map, but he hadn’t expected it to be displayed directly through his sight.

After turning on the highlight mode, Ji He moved to the highlighted clump of grass in the distance and carefully used his shovel to dig out the things underneath.

 ‘This is… ginger?’

Ji He held the ginger carefully in his hand, and suddenly understood what the highlight meant.
It looked like all of the things highlighted in his vision should be edible plants.

He didn’t know why there was ginger here.
If they hadn’t had a highlight around them he might have missed them.

 ‘Tem, how long will this highlight mode last?’

Ji He kept digging ginger while he began to ask the system specific questions about the mode.
If this mode could only last for a certain length of time, he would finish up with this spot as soon as possible and move to another location to see if there was anything else to grab.

 [The highlight mode is permanent, but the current highlight mode level is relatively low.
It can only display low-level nodes that can be picked by the master.
Later on master will be able to upgrade the highlight mode by doing tasks, and then you will be able to see more things that you have not found yet.]

“…”

For a moment Ji He wanted to ask if this system allowed micro-transactions so he could directly upgrade the highlight mode to full level, but after thinking about the system’s previous words he cast the thought aside.
This system probably wouldn’t let you swipe money but would have you swipe your life instead.

Still, even if he was dissatisfied with the current level of highlight mode, Ji He still felt overall quite satisfied.
After all, he had just passed by this patch of grass so many times, but he hadn’t noticed the ginger in it before.

Ji He finished picking the ginger and followed the navigation trail back to camp with the bamboo shoots and ginger he had collected in his backpack.
He saw several more bamboo shoots along the way, but the backpack couldn’t fit any more and they were too big to carry by hand, so he could only regrettably leave them behind.
Anyways, simply leaving behind those few bamboo shoots wouldn’t cause him to lose any sleep.
As long as he still had his highlight mode, Ji He could dive back into the bamboo forest at any time.
