Farming Games are All About Grinding-Chapter 259 - 251: Osmanthus Wood

After expending ninety points of stamina, Han Qiwu finally shaped the branch into the form he wanted!

The Magical Osmanthus Wood Brush!

Of course, the word "magical" was something Han Qiwu added himself.

This osmanthus wood brush was about 60 centimeters long, 40 centimeters wide, with a thick wooden plank neatly lined with 6×20 smooth wooden bristles on its surface. To make it easier to use, he’d even added some textured grips to the handle for better friction.

Although it didn’t have any special properties, it should still be pretty handy in practice.

The main thing was—the material was easy to come by. If it broke, he could just make another one.

Eco-friendly and non-polluting.

"Clap clap clap clap!"

"Pop pop pop pop!"

Seeing their master’s magical ability to turn wood into a brush, Little Shui, the Little Prince, and Xiao Lai all clapped enthusiastically.

Such supportive companions.

Only Little Dian, hovering in the sky, seemed a bit unwilling to be outshined, thinking to itself: "I could do that too." It raised its wing and zapped a flash of electricity onto a nearby branch, leaving a charred, blackened spot.

Little Dian: "...Hopefully, the master didn’t see that."

Guiltily, it quickly flew over to the vegetable patch and busied itself with pest control again.

Han Qiwu was initially quite pleased with the applause he was receiving. He called the Little Prince over and started using the wooden brush to gently remove its shed bear fur.

He’d only given a couple of strokes when he heard the commotion from Little Dian and noticed its defiant expression.

"So your wings have gotten tougher, huh?" Han Qiwu smirked slightly and quietly controlled a branch to extend stealthily toward the vegetable patch, concealed by the leaves and the dim moonlight.

Aiming precisely, the branch shot up, wrapped around Little Dian, and retracted swiftly before it could react, leaving it bundled and hanging from a tree.

Upside down, no less.

Realizing what just happened, Little Dian instinctively wanted to zap the branch to pieces and break free.

"No zapping the tree. You know exactly what you just did. Hang there and reflect on your behavior!" Han Qiwu said calmly.

Seeing no way out, the unlucky Little Dian resigned itself to fate, swaying pitifully as it hung from the tree.

"Hmph, I won’t stoop to the level of humans!"

"Swish swish swish." freeweɓnovel~cѳm

After brushing for a bit, Han Qiwu spent another fifty stamina points to reshape a nearby branch into the form of a wooden basin, specifically for collecting the shed bear fur.

Watching its own body grow progressively leaner, the Little Prince suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of insecurity.

Especially when a cool night breeze swept through.

It felt a little chilly.

Seeing the Little Prince shiver pitifully, Han Qiwu chuckled and said, "I’ll give you a bath later, and you can sleep in my room tonight."

"Mm!" The Little Prince nodded eagerly, its mood instantly improving.

Kids’ happiness really does come so easily.

An hour later, Han Qiwu stared helplessly at the osmanthus wood brush in his hand, reshaping a fifth one from a nearby branch.

Wow, this bear fur is just too dense.

Good thing I didn’t borrow clippers from Aunt Guo.

Otherwise, I’d have gone through who knows how many blades!

Another ten minutes passed before Han Qiwu finally finished stripping the Little Prince’s old fur.

The now sleek, furless Little Prince stood in the cold wind, covering its lower half as it looked at Han Qiwu with helpless, pitiful eyes.

That look.

Words couldn’t describe how pitiful it was.

"Alright, alright, go take a bath indoors and sleep obediently later." Han Qiwu couldn’t resist laughing as he led the Little Prince inside for a bath.

After settling the Little Prince, Han Qiwu returned to the spot where he had been brushing, picked up the wooden basin, and began to tidy up.

Suddenly, the bear fur in the basin emitted a faint glow.

[Cave Bear Fur]

[Use: Material]

[Note: It has many special applications]

"Even this counts as a system item?" Han Qiwu was a little surprised, quickly putting it away.

He decided to figure out how to use it later.

The tricky part was—he definitely couldn’t take this to Aunt Guo.

He could only hope that Sister Jin Tu might know what to do with it.

After cleaning up, Han Qiwu played with Little Shui and Xiao Lai for a while before heading to the side to check out the attributes of the osmanthus wood axe after its second-layer unsealing.

Little Dian, still hanging upside down: "????"

Why am I being ignored??

Han Qiwu glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, deciding to leave it hanging a bit longer as he took out the osmanthus wood axe to examine it.

The unsealed osmanthus wood axe had undergone some changes in appearance.

Longer, thicker, harder!

The blade looked significantly sharper, and some osmanthus flower patterns had appeared on its surface.

[Tool: Osmanthus Wood Axe (Second-Layer Unsealed)]

[Usage: A sharp axe specifically for chopping osmanthus trees, incapable of chopping other types of trees. Currently, it can chop up to 80 osmanthus trees per day.]

[Special Effects: High chance of obtaining osmanthus saplings while chopping osmanthus trees, moderate chance of obtaining osmanthus wood, low chance of obtaining old osmanthus roots.]

[Note: The third-layer unsealed osmanthus wood axe will be even longer!]

Nice, those are some solid attributes.

Han Qiwu nodded in satisfaction. Compared to the previous attributes, not only had its sharpness and chopping capacity improved, but the chances of triggering the special effects were higher, and there was even an additional material it could yield.

"Old osmanthus roots? Could that be edible?" Han Qiwu wondered aloud, recalling how he’d eaten willow roots as a child—sweet and tasty, with a nice texture.

Oh well, whatever it is, I’ll just dig some up and take a look.

Han Qiwu picked up the osmanthus wood axe, which hadn’t been used in a while, and walked to his grove of osmanthus trees. He picked the oldest-looking tree and swung at its roots.

One swing.

Two swings.

Three swings.

"Boom."

The ancient osmanthus tree, enduring three strikes, fell with a crash, transforming into two neatly stacked logs.

"The sharpness has definitely doubled," Han Qiwu exclaimed, remembering clearly how the first-layer unsealed axe needed six chops to fell a tree. Now, it only took three.

Looking down as he bent to pick up the logs, he noticed the two weren’t the same color. One piece was the usual natural wood tone, while the other was pale yellow with small, flower-like yellow specks adorning its surface.

[Wood]×1

[Osmanthus Wood]×1

Han Qiwu gazed at the osmanthus wood with a sense of accomplishment.

Finally, I’ve seen you.

Although the first-layer unsealed osmanthus wood axe’s description promised a chance to harvest osmanthus wood, Han Qiwu had never managed to get any, nor had the Little Prince ever brought any back.

The drop rate must be ridiculously low.

"Now it seems the second-layer unsealed axe truly has a chance to produce osmanthus wood. Let’s see its attributes," Han Qiwu said expectantly, inspecting the osmanthus wood.

[Osmanthus Wood (Silver Star Quality☆☆☆)]

[Use: Building Material]

[Special Effect - Cellaring: Any wine cellar constructed entirely with this wood will produce osmanthus wine at a minimum of Silver Star quality.]

[Special Effect - Osmanthus Fragrance: Buildings with at least 50% of this wood will produce animals or livestock whose outputs carry an additional osmanthus fragrance, increasing their value.]

[Note: "Under the osmanthus moon, its heavenly fragrance drifts beyond the clouds."]
