Jiang He had been busy over the last few days.

He woke up before noon every day, had his breakfast after washing up, after which he went to the yard, and would return inside when it was late at night.

Of course, the results he had over the last few days had been outstanding too.

The willow tree grew over three meters tall in just a few days, bearing lush dangling branches that formed an emerald foliage. Nine of those branches stood out particularly, glimmering in crystalline green radiance and embodying enormous vigor.

Jiang He had also planted the other mutated mushrooms aside from the violet mushrooms as well, although they dulled in comparison to the Violet Flame Lingzhi. Aside from earning Jiang He some Farm Points and EXP, Jiang He more or less improved his cultivation from rank-seven intermediate-pinnacle to rank-seven advanced.

Still, the taste was quite good.

And today, just as always, Jiang He arrived at the yard at noon.

All he saw was a field of darkness, which covered most of the yard.

Those were the black wood-ears that he had planted yesterday.

Having mutated and evolved to a certain extent, the black wood-ears harvested from Mount Helan had each now grown wider and larger than a palm…

In fact, they were the size of a washbowl, and they were so fleshy that they would last two dishes.

Jiang He walked up and plucked one of the black wood-ears.

Ding!

100 Farm Points

A System Notification jingled in his mind.

Jiang He stared at the black wood-ear in his hand, and a line of data slowly appeared.

Mutated Black Wood-Ear

Attribute: Mutated black wood-ears are rich with iron.

Effect: Long-term consumption of mutated black wood-ears would replenish iron-element in body.

“…”

Jiang He was speechless. Who doesn’t know that black wood-ears are rich with iron? He even checked the specific data, and it was claimed that each 100 grams of black-wood-ear contains 185 milligrams of iron, which was why it was the best food for individuals who were anemic or lack iron.

“But does my body lack iron?”

Despite his complaints, Jiang He began to harvest the black wood-ears. Whether he lacked iron or not, black wood-ears was good for stir-fried dishes or coleslaws, and was a daily food that enriched him.

Ding!

100 Farm Points

Ding…

As the System Notifications jingled repeatedly in his head, Jiang He had soon harvested 63 mutated black wood-ears, earning him 6300 Farm Points and 630 EXP.

“Hmmm…”

“My EXP bar is full again?”

He checked his System.

Name: Jiang He

Farm Level: 3 (EXP 5530

/5000)

Farm Points: 18300

After several days of diligent farming, Jiang He had accumulated over eighteen thousand points, and his EXP had also reached five thousand, fulfilling the condition for leveling up.

“What a shame… there’s five hundred and thirty EXP in surplus. If I can’t level up the farm, that EXP is going to waste soon.”

Jiang He felt bothered, because if his farm did not level up immediately when he had enough EXP, it meant that he would need ascension materials like the time he rose from level 2 to level 3.

He glanced at the level up requirements, and could not help gasping—

“Woah!”

“Isn’t the System being a little too outrageous here?”

“It’s actually demanding rank-nine Feral flesh?”

“Wait a minute…”

Suddenly, Jiang He’s gaze twitched and he exclaimed in surprise, “Orirock? What’s that?”

The ascension materials were written thus: one portion of rank-nine Feral flash (100kg), two portions of rank-eight Feral flesh (300kg), Orirock x10

Rank-eight and rank-nine flesh was easy to understand, and not difficult to obtain.

As for the Orirock… Jiang He had not even heard of it. It seemed that he would have to find out.

While he was ready to plant some medicine at first, it seemed that he would have to put that idea on hold for now. The effect would be better when he plant them when his farm was level 4, just as he could farm EXP.

Jiang He looked up towards the two Yuanbao Trees then.

On the branches, the golden ingots were swaying amidst the breeze, dinging and donging melodiously whenever two ingots knock into each other. Most importantly, the entire tree was a blinding golden field, with even the leaves gleaming in a pleasant golden luster.

“The Yuanbaos are ripe already?

“Come to think of it, I last harvested them a week ago. Then today is…”

Remembering something, Jiang He whipped out his phone for a look.

It was the twenty-fourth of September.

It was a special day…

Jiang He sighed. “It’s been a month since I transmigrated already?”

Ding!

10 Farm Points

Jiang He reached out to pluck one of the gold ingots, and could not help smiling bitterly when he heard the crisp jingle of a System Notification in his head. From what he observed when it came to the EXP he gained from the money tree, the EXP and farm points he earned from the Yuanbao would be greatly reduced when his farm improved up to level 4, all the way down to 1 Farm Point per ingot.

However, Jiang He had no intention of chopping the Yuanbao Tree.

The tree could be kept for the scenery since it was much more pleasant than the money tree.

After plucking the Yuanbao, Jiang He got Sora to bring him a table and a stool. He sat down on the shade beneath the willow tree in the yard, and started drinking on his own contentedly.

Of course.

He was not drinking alcohol, but Origin Fluid.

A fragrant scent hence spread across the yard.

After having two cups of Origin Fluid, however, Jiang He looked up to find Dumbo, Trumbo and the three panthers all crouched before him, their tongues stretched out all the way as they drooled all over the floor.

“Get lost!

“All of you!”

Jiang He barked, and could not help muttering, “Really, Mu Wanqiu… I caught her three Ferals, so why was she nowhere to be seen ever since we’re back?”

Those three Feral Panthers were such gluttons, and had eaten at least 2000 catties of Leopard Python meat in just a few days.

Jiang He had wanted to give Mu Wanqiu the rank-five and six Ferals to Mu Wanqiu while he kept the black panther as pet, and to help Dumbo and Trumbo watch the yard, he changed his mind now.

Research?

Take them and go!

Fillet them or drain their blood, go about as you wish. When they die, return the corpses to me. After planting them with Mysterious Soil, the big kitty I would get would be even larger and more obedient!

“By the way, the Origin Fluid is almost finished. Maybe drinking it like water is a little wasteful… oh, right, can Origin Fluid be planted?”

An idea struck Jiang He then. Planting Origin Fluid might be workable, and when the time comes for the harvest, he could drink as much as he liked. Otherwise, given how lifeless the willow tree of Mount Helan became, Jiang He was afraid that he would have squeezed it dry if it provided him with another few more buckets of Origin Fluid.

But in that very moment—

Ding!

Monthly gift pack has been awarded to Host. Please check at your own leisure.

Jiang He’s eyes sparkled as a crisp System Notification jingled in his head.

He was sitting under the shade for almost half an hour now, because he was waiting for his first monthly gift pack!

“The monthly gift pack sounds much more awesome than the seven-days gift pack. I wonder if I could get something amazing this time.”

With a chest full of expectation, Jiang He opened the golden embroidered gift pack in his System Backpack.

Ding!

Congratulations, Host. You have been awarded 5000 Farm Points.

Congratulations, Host. You have been awarded a Mysterious Seed.

Jiang He stared at the flat, plain, dark, and swarthy seed that was marked with a unique but ancient pattern—

Mysterious Seed

Attribute: A seed of mystery.

“…”

That’s…

Jiang He was at a loss for words.

‘At least give me an introduction or an explanation.

‘A seed of mystery…

‘How much more mysterious could it be?’
