Farming Games are All About Grinding-Chapter 258 - 250 The Little Prince’s Moult Diary

This skill can currently only be used in my own yard, so I’ll have to go back to try it out.

Let’s take another look at the Moonlight Iron Ingot!

After taking it out, Han Qiwu discovered that it emitted a faint glow under the moonlight. If the moonlight was blocked, the glow would disappear entirely. It seemed to resonate with the moonlight, with its whole body shimmering silver-white, utterly pure and spotless.

[Moonlight Iron Ingot (Venus Quality ⭐)]

[Usage: Crafting material]

[Note: It comes from the Moon’s core and possesses special powers]

Crafting material of Venus quality!

What a great find!

All the axes, hoes, and pickaxes at home have already been upgraded to copper-grade, but moving to the next upgrade would require iron ingots.

"Since Wu Gang gave it to me, I might as well use it for upgrading the axe. Let’s see what special effects this Moon core treasure can bring." Han Qiwu thought, feeling pleased, as he biked home with a grin.

Time to check the stats on the Moonwood Axe!

This is a real jackpot. The cost of those two glasses of wine was only 4,000 gold.

If only Wu Gang were more of a lush! free𝑤ebnovel.com

One glass a month? That’s way too restrained.

Wait, if you calculate time based on one day in the heavens equaling one year on Earth...

It would mean Wu Gang needs a drink every two hours!

Still, what he found disappointing was that the recent sales lists from the traveling peddler didn’t include any of those mysterious notes. When will they restock?

It’s making the mysterious magnifying glass at home somewhat useless.

"Next time, I better bring more wild mountain yams, and see if the little pig can bring something useful out."

Nowadays, dealing with pigs is easier than dealing with people.

When Han Qiwu arrived home, the moon was already hanging high in the sky. However, tonight’s moonlight appeared somewhat hazy, as if veiled by a thin layer of gauze.

As soon as he stepped in, Han Qiwu received a system notification.

[Hunting Pet: Little Prince has returned from foraging, satiety increased by 99.]

[Foraging Gains: Timber ×55, Purslane ×5, Dandelion ×2]

[Little Prince feels just average after foraging.]

[Fishing Pet: Little Shui has returned from fishing, satiety increased by 88.]

[Fishing Gains: Largemouth Bass ×2, Sunfish ×3]

[Little Shui feels great after fishing.]

"Little Shui feels great? Little Prince feels just average? How are you only feeling ’average’ at 99 satiety? Are you overstuffed or something?" Han Qiwu muttered with curiosity, waving over Little Prince and Little Shui nearby.

Little Prince trotted over sluggishly, looking utterly lackluster and staring at Han Qiwu with all the spirit drained from him.

Little Shui, on the other hand, ran over and nuzzled Han Qiwu’s leg before scraping the ground with its big paw. The gesture roughly implied that Little Prince’s weight had been dropping these days, and no matter how hard he tried to eat, he was growing thinner.

"What’s going on here? Isn’t losing a little weight a good thing?" Han Qiwu reached out to rub Little Prince’s head, but the more he stroked, the more something felt off. After several strokes, he suddenly realized, his eyes widening as he pulled his hand back.

His palm was covered in thick clumps of brown bear fur — tangled strands wrapped around his fingers that couldn’t be pulled free.

"Wait, the fur from Little Prince’s head is now in my hands... what about his head..." Han Qiwu slowly turned to look at Little Prince’s head.

When he saw it clearly, he fought hard to hold back his laughter using his abdominal muscles.

Oh dear, Little Prince had turned into a Mediterranean.

Little Prince didn’t realize at first. He was feeling puzzled, thinking, "Eh? Why does my head feel a little chilly?" Subconsciously, he reached up with his paw to touch it.

That one touch froze him in place. Uh-oh. Something didn’t feel right!

"Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!"

Little Prince bolted to the fish pond, rolling and stumbling. At the edge of the temporarily calm water, he stared at his large head’s reflection.

He was dumbfounded.

Who am I?

Why does my head look like this?

Who did this to me?!

"Blub blub"

"Blub blub"

"Bloop bloop"

A series of bubbles rose to the water’s surface, breaking Little Prince’s distorted reflection.

"Sis, look! That bear’s gone bald!"

"Yeah, yeah, must be because it’s getting old. I bet that old fish Lao Hei will go bald too."

"That’s so funny!!"

"Totally!"

A group of small fish fry gathered together, laughing at Little Prince through the water’s surface.

"Woo woo woo..."

Little Prince plopped down by the pond’s edge, crying bitterly.

These past few days, he had mysteriously grown thinner, and now his owner had messed up his handsome hairstyle!

Woo woo woo.

How am I supposed to show my face now?!

Han Qiwu rushed after, both exasperated and amused, and lifted Little Prince up by his armpits to stand.

Unexpectedly, he used too much force, accidentally pulling off the fur on Little Prince’s chest and arms too.

Little Prince: "..."

He now felt as if he were wearing a sleeveless vest — his chest and arms were icy cold.

Especially with the night breeze blowing past.

Wanted to cry.

"Woooooo..."

Han Qiwu quickly took out some honey from his stash and poured it into Little Prince’s open mouth.

"Woo—nom." Little Prince cried while chewing.

The honey is so delicious, woo woo woo.

So fragrant, woo woo woo.

"Alright, alright, stop crying. This is just normal shedding. Once you’ve finished shedding all that fur, the new coat that grows will be even more beautiful!" Han Qiwu consoled, taking advantage of Little Prince’s slightly calmed state.

"Huh?" Little Prince looked at Han Qiwu skeptically, shaking his head to show he wasn’t quite convinced.

"Ah, this is the downside of not having parents around." Han Qiwu sighed with slight helplessness. Still, it seemed like Little Prince was developing quickly — he was already starting to shed fur.

Could this mean he’s about to enter the next growth stage?

With that thought in mind, Han Qiwu brought Little Prince to the edge of the woods, patiently instructing him, "Stand here and don’t move. I’ll help you remove the remaining fur, alright? If you behave, I’ll give you a whole jar of honey tomorrow!"

"Hm!" Little Prince rubbed his tears away and nodded firmly.

For honey, I mustn’t cry!

Han Qiwu chuckled, thinking of that famous line: "Beastmen will never serve as slaves, unless fed and housed."

The reason he brought Little Prince to the woods was that he wanted to test his newly acquired ability here.

Initially, he had planned to borrow an electric razor from Aunt Guo, but then he worried about the possibility of breaking her appliance.

Besides, such beautiful bear fur would be a shame to shred.

He might as well collect it for crafting felt or something.

With that, Han Qiwu decided to try using his new skill instead.

"Watch closely, alright?" Han Qiwu addressed his small audience, then grabbed a branch from a cassia tree, silently activating his skill, and envisioning how to shape the branch into a brush.
