Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 799 - 757: Beginning of Autumn, Season Turns_2
Jiang Yuan: !!!
There’s actually such a fun tool!
It’s still a minute and a half until six in the morning. I immediately clicked open the recharge page, eagerly charged two hundred Spirit Stones, and then hit the top golden button for the lottery.
The dazzling lights spun around like a runaway wild horse. When it stopped, the mouth of a golden dragon opened and spat out a small round ball.
[Advanced Fertilizer +1]
A message popped up in my sight, and a bundle of advanced fertilizer went into the Storage Bag.
"One hundred Spirit Stones for a piece of advanced fertilizer, not bad, it’s a small profit." Checking the attributes matched those produced in the Bait Workshop, I wanted to press it again but was prompted by the system to wait for the lottery to refresh at six in the morning. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
This little gadget is quite intriguing. No matter where I thought of placing it, it seemed not suitable, so better put it in the Storage Bag.
After all, with busier days ahead when I might not return home for a couple of days, it’s more convenient to carry the once-a-day lottery chance with me since it can’t be linked to the Courtyard Intercom.
[The autumn sun becomes gentle; the wind sheds its heat; the sky is high and the air is crisp, the richly colored autumn brings the joy of harvest. The change of seasons brings a different experience to the homeland...]
[Morning Glimmer in Wilderness Ascension]
With the system prompt at six o’clock sharp in the morning, the restless cicadas’ chirping noticeably lowered in pitch, occasionally interspersed with the cheerful calls of crickets.
The thick clouds flew higher and higher until they disappeared, and the early morning sunlight spilling into the courtyard no longer held the intensity of summer, even the breeze felt much cooler.
A scent of damp earth mingled with the ripe grass seeds wafted over. Growing up in a rural area, Jiang Yuan was very familiar with this scent. Every time he passed by the fields after school and smelled the warmth with a hint of ripened plants, he knew it was not long until it was time to pick the corn cobs.
In the Furong Spirit Pool, some of the lotuses had withered, and the large seed pods swayed unsteadily;
The leaves on the tree above the Tree House, which were originally lush green, instantly turned golden yellow, light red, and light brown, rich and colorful revealing the feeling of autumn everywhere;
All the trees in the courtyard changed colors, and looking to the fruit trees on the mountain ridges of the second-layer courtyard, it was like a thick, rich oil painting.
"Swish swish swish!"
The automatic sprinkler system started working at the same time, spraying water to perfectly moisten the farmed area within its jurisdiction;
At the same time, the automatic harvester took flight, harvesting the last batch of ripe crops, and then sowing the autumn crops seeds Jiang Yuan had purchased and preset in advance.
[The season is wrong; out-of-season crops will no longer grow, do you want to remove them?]
Not all the crops planted in the fields can be timed perfectly, just a few remaining out-of-season crops need timely handling.
Jiang Yuan took out Butterfly Demon Scale Powder and directly accelerated the maturation of the ripened crops for harvest.
After all, with Miss Chan Yu living in the Mist Barrier Swamp, they are united and wealthy now. Whenever there’s a group of night butterflies, he finds a way to track and mark them. Every now and then, he harvests a batch and takes it back to the mill to grind into Butterfly Demon Scale Powder, using it for accelerating crop maturation without feeling heartache.
As soon as one matured crop was harvested, the automatic seeder would plant a new crop right behind it;
Non-maturing ones had to be totally removed with a shovel, and the planting synchronized with sowing, made the crop season switch convenient and prompt.
Thinking back to the spring-summer switch, he didn’t have so many farming tools to help.
Everything was manually shoveled and new crops planted, and then watered at the end; although the farmland wasn’t too large, the whole process consumed a lot of time.
Now as the farmland increases, adventure explorations broaden, and more tools are obtained, farming has instead become much easier.
"In the space of one night, the fall sensation is thick, even though the tree leaves were still all green just yesterday." Leng Yutang, after forging another fire-gathering basin, just opened his eyes for a stretch, felt stunned when he saw the autumn scene in the courtyard.
Indeed it’s autumn, but do flowers, plants, and trees change so quickly?
He deliberately poked his head outside the small courtyard, glanced at the bamboo forest and nearby Cat Ridge, and saw the trees were still lush green, the weather still struggling with the last hint of summer heat.
Pulling his head back into the courtyard, he saw fresh air filled with golden autumn, evidently it was already crisp autumn.
"Mr. Jiang’s courtyard is indeed extraordinary!" Leng Yutang sighed again, enviously eyeing the treasure boat floating slowly in the sky, fantasizing about the possibility of staying and having his own exclusive...
Spit, spit, spit! What a daydream! He immediately scolded himself awake, dreaming of getting such treasure? Being able to stay in a guest room in the small courtyard long-term would make him laugh even in dreams!
Hu Zhile and Yun Mo exited the ancient teleportation array, immediately noticing the distinct seasonal change in the courtyard.
"I have to say, the leaves of this Divine Tree are beautifully colorful in autumn." Yun Mo looked up at his Tree House, brilliantly highlighted against the fall leaves, then worriedly asked: "Hu Senior, do you think the Divine Tree’s leaves will fall off in the winter?"
"Logically it shouldn’t, after all, it’s a Divine Tree." Hu Zhile glimpsed at his cave with no changes, and the flowers and plants arranged nearby looked slightly vivid, laughingly added: "Even if it does lose leaves, it still continuously emits Spiritual Energy, just that it’s a different scenery for each season."
"That’s true as well." Yun Mo nodded, then noticed the heavy lotus pods in the Furong Spirit Pool, and quietly asked: "Do you think the lotus pods in White Senior’s Spirit Pool, are edible?"
"They are definitely edible, and the lotus seeds from the Spirit Pool, nourished by Spiritual Energy, should be fresh and tasty. However... whether White Senior will chase you for picking them, that’s uncertain."
Qing Niao just teleported in from the dungeon, and upon hearing her words, chuckled: "That snake is the most petty, anyone other than my brother daring to pick lotus pods from his Spirit Pool might end up being planted like a lotus pod in the pool!"
She then mischievously shouted towards Jiang Yuan on the west second-layer courtyard: "Brother! I want to eat lotus seeds!"
Jiang Yuan, unaware they were eyeing the Spirit Pool, laughed hearing this, didn’t this come at the perfect time? I was just planning to plant a lotus field in this lake anyway.
He then loudly replied: "If you want lotus seeds or lotus roots, it’ll take three to five more days."
The autumn crop unlocked in the System Mall includes lotus roots, requiring a spacious water area in the courtyard for planting.
Precisely, the fused world fragment is large and comprehensive, and such a vast lake lying idle certainly has to be utilized for planting a lotus field.
Two days after planting, fresh lotus leaves and flowers can be harvested, with a random chance of getting lotus stems. In three days, lotus seeds can be harvested, in five days, lotus roots can be collected. Each crop cycle of lotus roots can be harvested four times, marking it as a highly productive new crop.
"Three to five more days?" Qing Niao puzzled, she knew very well the family only had lotuses in the Spirit Pool and Fish Pond, with the latter being water lilies declared inedible by her brother, leaving only the Spirit Pool’s lotus lap as edible.
She joyously thought it should still wait until the lotus seeds are ripe to enjoy!
Thus, Qing Niao cheerfully agreed while clamoring for lotus seed fish soup, which Jiang Yuan noticed in the unlocked autumn harvest recipes was indeed a delicacy, so he happily consented.
"Brother is indeed the best! My brother is the best in the world!" she excitedly stomped, the whole courtyard brimming with cheerful ambiance.
Bai Yunqi and Xie Chenyuan remained in the Flood Dragon Tomb dungeon undiscovered;
Wan Mingchuan consistently sent a message of safety every day;
Since learning he owned a treasure boat, Old Dog constantly found ways to coax Xiao Chuanzi to fast-track his independence;
Yun Shu continued floating in the void, searching for the Land Without Master;
Yun Ying rapidly restored her strength, already cross-referencing the blueprint to attempt crafting a Puppet House ornament.
Jiang Yuan glanced at the cloud sparrow in the pet slot not yet recuperated, so he made breakfast and planned to free it after eating.
"Sir...what is that terrifying aura?" It still couldn’t help shivering, even its clear, bright voice quivered as it whispered, "I feel... as if one glance could kill me!"
No wonder the Vermilion Bird said being watched by God demands a price.
A glance at Chu Huai’an, and the self-destructive Demon Cultivator perished utterly;
Barely a sidelong glance at the little cloud sparrow, no malice but even faint appreciation, yet it couldn’t recover, almost scared out of its wits.
"Do not overthink now, and don’t mention the desert incident to anyone."
Jiang Yuan gently stroked its smooth feathers, instructing: "You must seize the time to cultivate, here I have a Foundation Establishment Pill, strive for successful foundation establishment in one go. Once you break into the Gathering Spirit Realm, I have a tremendous opportunity waiting for you!"
