Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 674 - 663: A Bumper Harvest Tonight
Zhao Gui, unlike his father Zhao Yongxiang, is someone without perseverance or determination.
Jiang Yuan didn’t even need to say much to provoke him; merely draining his lifespan until only a sliver was left was enough to completely break his spirit, then seize the opportunity to release the Soul Searching Technique.
"Zhao Gui’s Soul-Searching Notes" swiftly became a book and was stored in the Storage Bag.
"Hmm, let me see what secrets the young master of the Zhao Family’s direct lineage holds." He casually opened the thin pages of notes, and the words "Secret Techniques of the Bedroom" immediately caught his eye.
Jiang Yuan: ...
Tsk tsk, you really can’t judge a book by its cover. Playing around to such an extent?
A quick flip through revealed Zhao Gui lacked both capability and character, far less favored than his two brothers.
As a result, he could only manage some corner business.
Like selecting young, beautiful girls from among the mortals sold and turning them into prostitutes, naturally taking advantage of his proximity to enjoy them first.
But how can human bodies withstand the torment of the Demon Cultivators?
Thus, the portion of the business Zhao Gui was responsible for was far less profitable than his brothers’, making him even less favored in the large family.
He wanted to find a new path to create something novel, and repeatedly went to Granny Huang, hoping to use sophisticated puppet dolls with secret concoctions to make the cultivators indulging in them become addicted and unable to stop.
The requirements for special puppets were naturally specific; upon his description, Granny Huang realized his intent of using the beauty of puppet dolls for debauched acts and refused to act as an accomplice, which led to Jiang Yuan’s rescue mission.
Moreover, Huang Niu’Er was tortured in various ways without result and then was given drugs and sold, thinking about it, a young calf stripped of cultivation, turned into a dull-witted mute slave, wouldn’t fare much better.
"Just one use of the Soul Searching Technique and all I get is this worthless stuff, no value." Jiang Yuan finished flipping through, noting that this young master didn’t much care about the branch family, with no clues in his memory.
The Soul Searching Technique has a three-day cooldown after one use, so questioning is needed next for intelligence gathering.
This failure served as a reminder—since the cooldown time of the Soul Searching Technique is long, I have to choose the most valuable target to search in the future!
He casually destroyed the useless notes to prevent them from occupying space in the Storage Bag, then turned and dragged out another bruised and battered individual from the Chaotic Heaven Bell.
Judging by the clothing, it seemed to be a servant, unsure if truly ignorant or playing dumb, shaking his head at any question, Jiang Yuan couldn’t be bothered to waste words and directly drained his lifespan.
After interrogating Zhao Gui’s eldest brother Zhao Fu, second brother Zhao Lu, and several stewards, he pieced together some follow-up clues, thinking he could track them down when time allowed, perhaps even gaining a few more lifeblood bags.
He worked until the break of dawn, and when the Bounty Order showed 113, he finally drained all the evil cultivators imprisoned within the Chaotic Heaven Bell.
[Current Lifespan Balance: 10,022 years, 10 months, 28 days]
[Achievement: Lifespan balance surpassed ten thousand years for the first time. Reward: Lucky Draw +1]
"Hahaha! Today is a huge harvest, joyous events lift one’s spirits!" Jiang Yuan still remained mostly in a canceled frenzy state, feeling light-headed as if inebriated.
He put away the Chaotic Heaven Bell and directly clicked to draw the prize.
The huge, luxurious roulette spun rapidly in his view, causing dizziness until the pointer stopped at the sparkling purple-gold gift package.
[Automatic Seeder and Harvester (Limited Time): As a major farming landowner, do you still struggle with the time-consuming and labor-intensive tasks of harvesting and sowing? Congratulations, you got a farming Divine Artifact—the Automatic Seeder and Harvester! By setting the crops for each plot of farmland, and pre-loading enough seeds, harvesting and sowing will complete simultaneously at precisely six in the morning each day! Note: The Automatic Seeder and Harvester’s limit starts from the first click to use and lasts for three months; using it, the experience yield is equivalent to 50% of manual seeding and harvesting.] 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
A massive halo surrounded a simply designed paper plane that spun around, leaving Jiang Yuan momentarily baffled before realizing—this is really useful stuff!
Used in conjunction with the automatic sprinkler system, the farmland is almost fully automated, requiring no extra time or effort!
But it’s only limited to three months...
After a bit of thought, he decided to keep it for now. Once the courtyard upgrades to Level Seven and unlocks a vast expanse of land for cultivation, the amount of farmland will expand rapidly, where utilizing the seeder and harvester would be making the best use of resources.
Yet with so much land to cultivate, irrigation became another problem.
If the Mysterious Cave could be upgraded again, the probability of refreshing high-quality items increases with higher levels, gradually accumulating more automatic sprinklers for a one-time solution.
The sounds of fighting were no longer heard on the street, and Jiang Yuan leisurely opened the always-flashing upper left corner notifying of rewards available to claim interface.
The full level reward was for killing a hundred evil cultivators, with stages at one, five, ten, twenty, fifty, and a hundred, where the gift package thumbnail grew larger and more exquisite in later stages.
He clicked to claim it.
[Building Materials Gift Package +1]
[Alchemy Medicine Gift Package +1]
[Acceleration Card +10]
[Building Upgrade Card +1]
[Skill Upgrade Card +1]
Opening the final gift package, golden light flickered with large words appearing—Family Portrait Gift Package +1.
[Contract Pet Upgrade Card +3]
[Contract Sister Upgrade Card +1]
[Contract Disciple Upgrade Card +1]
[Contract Mount Upgrade Card +1]
Jiang Yuan: ???
What does this upgrade card mean? Does it mean what I think?
Clicking to view the details, he immediately stared wide-eyed—it was even better than he thought! Using the item card on selected targets directly upgrades them a Realm without having to cross a Thunder Tribulation!
"Gosh! Such a big reward?!" Jiang Yuan felt his mouth dry and throat thirsty.
