Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 818 - 767: Pleading for Mercy
"So, are you saying I’ve been wasting my effort for half a day to no real use?" Qu Luming remarked, thinking perhaps these small-time hustlers mixed in the Market weren’t that important, so maybe he could let the little silly fox’s "Sister Cang" off the hook?
Du Li felt something was off but couldn’t quite put a finger on it. Laughing, he said, "Whether it’s useful or not, if you have the time, you should still capture them. If you know there are people with ill intentions hiding under false names and disguises, why not eliminate the potential danger early? Do you have anything else?"
Hearing his own body say this, Qu Luming hesitated again and mumbled, "Nothing else, just remember to remind them over at Trapped Snake Island, don’t forget, you’ll see the benefits after some time."
He hurriedly came and quickly left, arranging to meet Mr. Jiang at the Wo Hu Temple Market at nightfall, conveniently heading there early to see if the Pavilion Master with the surname Cang had returned.
If it was a misunderstanding and the other wasn’t a lurking Demon Cultivator, wouldn’t that be great for everyone?
......
[You have a new order, please check it]
"There are really so many charity orders now." Jiang Yuan heard the alert and casually opened the courtyard communicator to check the details.
[Charity Order: 58 watermelons; 211 portions of well water; 61 portions of lamb; 25 portions of Pu’er tea. Order valid for six hours, charity orders come with no Gold Coins, but are guaranteed to drop rare materials randomly]
Fortunately, with nothing else to do, he had been drawing water from the well on the courtyard communicator. The warehouse had prepared 999 portions of well water in advance, and all other supplies were ready, so he just clicked to submit.
[Three Pristine Ones Grass +2]
[Faith Value +3480]
"Tsk, with so many things, the Faith Value given is really too little..." Jiang Yuan had never seen a situation where a large batch of supplies was sent out, but the Faith Value didn’t even break 5000.
Before he even finished complaining, a new system alert popped up—[The Faith Value in this area is insufficient to support the publication of charity orders, order publishing eligibility has been cancelled]
Jiang Yuan: ???
What does that mean? Is the system also not wanting to do a losing business?
But then again, it’s strange. With sincere faith, you can get rice, flour, grains, and oils to eat and drink well. Even with such an efficient reward mechanism, there are still people unwilling to give genuine sincerity?
"I hope you can find other more cost-effective shops after this; otherwise, you might have to pay a heavy price for it." He sighed, exiting the courtyard communicator interface.
He spent over half an hour today specifically sorting through boxes.
Farm game players usually have hoarding tendencies bursting out, always feeling this is useful or that needs to be stored, resulting in a Storage Box, warehouse, and raided large wooden boxes being stuffed to the brim.
Just the various storage bags and rings of different sizes and levels amounted to over a hundred.
These items, when put on the shop’s display, have the lowest price at a few hundred Spirit Stones; the highest can sell for nearly a million.
The ones with low prices aren’t worth selling;
The expensive ones are few, and they look high-end, so he wants to keep them for his disciples, mounts, and contract pets to use. Anyway, they are different from him. Even if loaded full, as long as they have exclusive marks, they can all use them—better to have more prepared than not.
The cheap low-level storage bags are numerous, so if they aren’t worth selling, he can just aid human cultivators with them.
How does that saying go, "When impoverished, focus on self-cultivation; when prosperous, benefit the world." Although he’s not wealthy to that extent, compared to the cultivators of the human world, his conditions are much better!
Help when he can, consider it virtue and good deeds. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"Swish, swish, swish!"
As he pushed open the Bait Workshop door, he heard a light sound like cutting grass, and there were already two packs of Seventh Level Fertilizer in the finished products bin.
Jiang Yuan added new raw materials inside, collected the two packs of finished products, and flew by Sword Control to the latest plot, applying the Seventh Level Fertilizer again to the farmland that was hard-won to upgrade to Level Six.
"Bulingbuling～"
Accompanied by shining and twinkling like stars sound effects, the two plots’ color changed noticeably to a purer black, with a faint ring of soft light bordering those pixel-like edges.
This was to showcase their distinction, their higher level.
"When will I get another workshop acceleration item, I wonder." He planted the spirit-filled crops that could be planted on the Level Seven Spirit Field, looking at the other plots waiting for upgrades, feeling a bit troubled.
Upgrading from ordinary farmland to Level Seven, one plot would consume six packages of fertilizer, each more complex than the last.
The Bait Workshop requires time and a large number of raw materials to produce each level of fertilizers. He also didn’t have many Farmland Upgrade Cards. As for completing this main quest, he could only spend time.
Maybe because a cultivator’s lifespan is very long, the things they use, sourced from the Essence of Heaven and Earth, also need to consume a long time.
Take the Spirit Stone Vein, for example.
[Weeping Silk Sea Tree: Unique ornamental plant, capable of gathering the Essence of Heaven and Earth to reshape the root of the Spirit Stone Vein, allowing it to become a growth-type sustainable development Spirit Stone Vein.]
[Root Reshaping Progress: 0.5%. Current extractable amount of Spirit Stone Vein: about three million Spirit Stones]
Looking up, the special plant that matured swiftly due to the farming acceleration item was very conspicuous—a lush tree hung with countless golden stars, exuding a faintly refreshing fragrance.
When the wind blew, the golden glass-like stars collided, emitting a sound resembling very light, crisp wind chimes.
The system’s summary was spot on, besides being able to condense the vein’s root system, it was just a showy, beautiful ornamental plant.
There was nowhere it could be used in medicine or artifact refining; the golden stars would wilt soon after being picked and played with, until they shattered into little points of starlight and disappeared without a trace.
