[Vol-1] Ch.16 Diversified Palate

  When I finish with my crystal testing, I've also fiesting the pnts against my lips. So my est is to try chewing some to see if it has aive effects. I start with the long root from the fl pnt, and I immediately notice a bitter fvor, which is usually a bad sign. Before I swallow any of it, I check my health, and sure enough, I'm missing 2 points. I spit the root out. Well, that's unfortuhere is a ce it might be fine if thhly cooked though, so I set that aside as an option to try. There were actually quite a few on pnts oh that were poisonous if not cooked as I recall.

  I wait a while until my hp is recovered before trying the pnt. I try the leafy pnt that was growing in abundance. Sihere isn't much besides leaf to actually eat, that's what I'll try. I chew on some for a little bit, when my mouth starts to feel really warm. I check my stats, and although I'm not missing any hp, I'm actually missing 4 points of my mp. Again, I spit the pnt out. If it draihat much mp from just chewing on a leaf, I don't want to know what would happen if I actually ate it. My mouth was feeling progressively warmer as I chewed, so I'd be worried about something like internal bustion . That said, I might try my hand at grinding this into a paste. If I could poison a bde or some other on with this, it might help if I battle someone who uses mana.

  Finally, I'm on to the fl bulbs that the animal I spotted was eating. I chew into one, and it tastes exceptionally sweet, but after a little chewing, it's basically dissolved into almost nothing in my mouth. I mean, it is a flowery bulb after all. After holding what's left in my mouth for a while without notig any ill effects, I swallow it. Although it would take a lot of this to make a meal, it might be det as a fvor, or boiled. As long as I don't notiy new ive effects from here on out, then I might try to use it to make my other food more patable.

  I don't have much time left in my day, so I take the time left to up some pces in the room. A lot of my crafting has involved me essentially cutting stone blocks out of the wall to make extra buckets and other tools, so I'd like to vert that area into a new shelving area. I don't have anything I want to store on the new shelves yet, so I make them fairly generic. I'm sure I'll need more blocks iure, so I make sure I don't make the shelves in such a way that I 't get more blocks out of the wall o it.

  I haven't lost any hp or noticed any other side effects from the flower bulb I ate earlier, so I go to sleep for the day.

  I don't wake up with any new issues from eating the flower bulb, so I think I assume that it's edible, if g in substahis m, before I eat anything else though, I want to try thhly roasting the bitter root. If it is viable as food, that would be very helpful, as there was a det amount of it growing down by the cliff. With that in mind, I start cooking it over the fire.

  I let it cook to the point where it's probably overdone. Later I try to get it to a better cooked point, but for now I want to see if it is still dangerous to eat now that it's thhly cooked through. I take it off the fire, a cool for a little while before taking an apprehee out of the charred root, and chewing. I taste a lot of burnt material, but no bitterness so far. I check my hp, and I haven't lost a.

  I hold the chewed root in my mouth for a while before swallowing, aing a little more of it. For now I'll wait and see if I lose any hp throughout the day. With this though, I think I'll o e up with names for my food. I'm eating two kinds of roots, and a flower. The bulbous roots from before, while not overly simir to potatoes, sihere are only a few roots uhe pnt, are close enough that I think I'll call them spuds from now on.

  The other root reminds me of an rown dandelion, with a different flower on top, so I'll call it lion root, si also is dangerous unless cooked. As for the flower, I'll just based on what it is, sweet rock flower.

  While I wait to see if I get sick from the food, I decide to start shaping the new shelves to hold the lion roots and sweet rock flower, as well as potentially more of the mana burning pnts. I'm careful to pce all three away from each other, because I don't want any of the three to get inated by the others.

  Having verted some of my new shelving into bins, I again verify my health is fine. Seeing that my hp is still unged, I think the food is likely fine. Just in case though, I don't want to go and harvest more until tomorrow at the soo. Today though, I will go gather some more wood from the nearby area, after I vert some more of the ste area for holding wood.

  By the end of the day, I don't notiy new health issues, so I think tomorrow I'll go and gather some more of these lion roots. Which should be just in time, because I'm almost out of spuds, and I haven't found a good new source of them. I don't know how long lion roots will st in ste though, so I'll have to repeat the same process as I did with the spuds to test shelf life.

  Given the distao the lion root, I'm not going to haul the charcoal down the mountain, and I'm only pnning on gathering five days worth this time anyway, so I don't need extra stuff to carry it back. I carefully make my way down the mountain until I start finding lion root, and I begin pulling them up. As I make my way back up the mountain, I spot a bunch of birds in a tree that scatter as I get close. I hope they aren't too territorial, since I probably will be making this trip occasionally now. I don't like the idea of being mobbed by a flock of birds.

  When I get back, I store most of the lion root on the shelf for it, and then I make two small boxes o my desk where in the first box, I set a few separate to observe over time to see how well they st, and I cook a few roots to put in the sed box, to see how well they keep ohey've been cooked through. Over the few days, I'll try cooking them less ao get it to a point where it's much less charred than it is now.

  With a new food source determined, I decide that I should spend the rest of the day hauling some of the charcoal and bone meal out to the spuds in the clearing, since I haven't found a new source of them yet. As I bring it out, I try to mix the bone meal into the soil around the pnts that are already there. I still don't know if it'll have the same effect as oh, but if it does, it should at least help these pnts grow, which hopefully means they'll seed the area again.

  By the time I'm tired, I've only hauled about half of the charcoal and bone meal out, but I set the buckets up he other bucket for now. Unfortunately, I'm notig that this spot isn't really able to hold more buckets after this, so I'll either need a pce to store buckets, or destroy the rest of them when I'm doh them. With all that pleted for the day, I head ba to my room, close up, and check my stats before I sleep.
